Naturally, it was an astronomical figure, but it was still within what Xuxu had forecasted.
She frowned as she closed the document. She gazed at Yan Rusheng, looking helpless. “Are you that determined to get it?”
“Certainly,” Yan Rusheng curtly and sharply said.
Xuxu pressed her lips tightly and placed the document on his desk. She said softly, “Let’s go home.”
She knew that it would be nearly impossible to change his mind. However, she had to try her best not to allow him to make decisions so recklessly.
Yan Rusheng watched as Wen Xuxu walked out of his office. He opened his mouth to stop her as he felt that perhaps, they shouldn’t go back home at all.
But he decided against it and clammed up. He retrieved his coat and trailed after Xuxu.
He had taken the initiative this time, and it really took all of his determination.
The winds were strong and freezing outside. Xuxu had wrapped her coat tightly around her as she stood on the steps of the entrance, waiting for Yan Rusheng to drive over.
The lights of the car got nearer and a glint of sorrow flashed past in her eyes.
Does he still blame her for taking contraceptives? If she confessed and clarified, would he believe her?
But she still wasn’t sure of his feelings towards her.
Yan Rusheng stopped the car in front of the steps.
Xuxu snapped out of her thoughts and stretched her hand to open the back door. She quickly went inside.
Before she could even settle down properly, Yan Rusheng suddenly sped off at an alarming speed.
Xuxu managed to hold on to her seat to keep herself from falling off just in the nick of time.
She got annoyed after getting over her shock.”Yan Rusheng, are you trying to scare me to death?”
Yan Rusheng glared at Xuxu through the rearview mirror. He looked glum with his lips pressed tightly together. He didn’t say a word.
It was dark inside the car, and Xuxu couldn’t see Yan Rusheng’s expression at all. But she was certain that he was furious over something.
The explanation she had prepared earlier on, she swallowed it back.
They didn’t speak in the entire drive. Once they reached home, Xuxu went back to her room right away.
She showered and slept.
Morning came and surprisingly, Yan Rusheng wasn’t in the dining room. The table was empty as well. It made the room seem cold and lonely.
She guessed that Yan Rusheng must still be sleeping. He had been working late these few nights.
She was about to step into the kitchen.
Aunt Zhang intercepted her as she hurriedly said, “Missy, Third Young Master had just left. He said that we’re only allowed to buy breakfast in the future and you’re not allowed to do it at home.”
There was a long pause…
Xuxu felt glum when she heard her. It was his decision not to enter the kitchen. But how could he insist and demand that of others as well?
This fellow’s overbearing personality had elevated to new heights.
Forget it. It’s a blessing in disguise if he forbade her to enter the kitchen. She was too lazy to cook anyways.
Xuxu drove the car out of the courtyard and dialed her assistant’s number.
“Miling, I’m not coming to work in the morning, but I’ll be around in the afternoon. Call me if there’s anything urgent.”
She instructed her and hang up.
She drove to a huge supermarket, bought several bags of snacks, and loaded everything in the car trunk.
She then drove to the suburbs.
It had been some time since she had visited the children and everyone was excited to see her. They crowded around her as they tried to hug her.
“Sister Xuxu, I miss you so much.”
Little Huanhuan was the youngest, but she had managed to squeeze through the crowd to reach Xuxu. Her hands were coiled around Xuxu’s thigh tightly as though she was afraid that someone might steal her away.
