Chapter 15: As The Lady Commands

"Exactly, this trend is spreading at a neck-breaking speed and in the next few months, a lot of restaurants and establishments will crop up to fill the demand. But, if Mo Corporation were to open the first healthy-living restaurant and become a pioneer, it would take a larger piece of the pie because consumers would have more trust in them."

"Also, it can set the price on the higher side to prevent the brand from making losses once competition becomes fierce. Many of the new establishments will lower their prices to attract more customers as the raw materials used are not that expensive. But this will only cause wealthy people to doubt the quality of their products. As you know, the rich tend to think that the more expensive something is, the higher the quality."

"All the Mo Corporation employees have to do is make sure the raw materials used are fresh and organic. This cannot be compromised as it will make all the difference."

"What do you think?" Weiwei finally took a breath and asked Mo Shian.

"Well, I didn't know you were so business-savvy and so passionate."

Weiwei couldn't help but blush at Mo Shian's comment.

"It's just, I think it's a good business opportunity," said Weiwei.

"Indeed, following everything you just told me, I guess I will write the proposal myself and have it implemented as soon as possible." Mo Shian added.

"Really, will you adopt this business idea?" Weiwei asked, unable to believe that she had convinced him so easily.

"Of course, it's a good business opportunity like what you just said, and being a pioneer will make all the difference in the world," Mo Shian continued.

"Okay, I will write down the recipes and give them to you with detailed notes of what each recipe would achieve." Weiwei said with a dazzling smile.

"Alright. So, what do you want to be paid for this wonderful business idea?" Mo Shian teased with a suggestive smile playing on his lips.

"Just hold me to sleep every night." Said Weiwei, not to be outdone.

Mo Shian couldn't believe what he had heard. He was so shocked it took him a whole minute to come back to his senses, then he gave Weiwei a huge smile and acquiesced to her demand.

"As the lady commands," he said.

"Alright, I am going to take a shower and go to bed. Don't work too late." Weiwei said as she got up to leave the room.

"Okay." Replied Mo Shian as he watched her leave. He decided to work faster so that he could go to bed early and hold his wife to sleep. She had personally asked him to hold her to sleep, so of course, he would oblige.

But, he soon realized that he couldn't work at all. He kept reading the same page over and over again without understanding what was written on it. All he could think of was how soft his wife would feel in his arms. He had not held her in a long time and he had missed her dearly. Knowing that he could finally hold her to sleep without having to sneak around like a thief filled his heart with immense warmth and joy. He couldn't wait to go to bed. Soon, he gave up working, shut down his computer, and went to the master bedroom. When he turned the doorknob and walked in, he found that only the warm bedside light was left turned on. He could see Weiwei's petite figure under the covers. It was summer, so they only covered themselves with a light silk sheet instead of the heavy quilts used in winter. He stripped down to his boxers, then lifted the bedsheets and went under the covers.

Weiwei was already breathing evenly, which meant she was already asleep. He gathered her in his arms and inhaled her unique body scent. She smelled like roses and milk, a weird combination, but he loved the scent to death. Weiwei must have known that Mo Shian had come to bed as she moved closer to him, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep. Mo Shian couldn't help but smile at her adorable behavior. Even though she had alienated herself from him and refused to sleep with him, her subconscious reaction showed her true feelings. She must have missed him too, just as he had missed her. For the first time in a long time, Mo Shian felt content and went to sleep with his wife held tightly in his arms.

Weiwei woke up to sun rays peeking into the bedroom through the gaps in the window curtains. She tried to stretch her body but found that her movements were restricted. There was a heavy object holding down her waist that wouldn't budge. She was confused at first, then lifted her eyes to see what was happening, only to be met with the most handsome face she had ever seen. She realized that last night Mo Shian had moved back to their bed and was holding her so tightly as if he was afraid she would disappear any moment. He was still asleep and Weiwei couldn't hold back the urge to ogle at that face. She couldn't understand how she had resisted him for five whole years in their previous life, because right now, she wanted to jump him so much.

Weiwei lifted her hand and traced her fingers on his face, his bushy eyebrows, his straight nose, his thin and kissable lips. Gawd! She couldn't resist anymore. She lifted her face and kissed his lips lightly. Before she could back down, Mo Shian's eyes flew open and looked straight at her beautiful green orbs. She widened her eyes in surprise after being caught stealing a kiss in the morning. Mo Shian had woken up the moment the girl woke up but kept his eyes closed. He was still apprehensive and wanted to see if she would regret asking him to move back to their bed once she was awake. But to his surprise, he felt her touching him and exploring his face. Then came the light as a feather kiss, and he couldn't help but open his eyes to look at her. That was the most beautiful sight in the world. Waking up to that face, and to her kisses.
