"Could it be that you found a new teacher?" Xiaolei asked, still puffing her cheeks as she glared at him. She still found it unacceptable just knowing that someone else was teaching this husband of hers about all these naughty things.
However, Yu Chen seemed to had already expected this. That Xiaolei would get mad about this. He suddenly slipped his arms around her waist and hugged her from behind.
"My wife… Did you forget?" he whispered, resting his chin on her shoulder while he stared at her at the mirror. "When I asked you to give me an assignment that night before you left for Europe, you said that I already graduated. That it's now all up to me to improve myself. You said you'll only become my teacher again for our post graduate lessons once I'm fully recovered… so to improve myself while waiting... I read some things…" He trailed off and both of them stared at each other on the mirror. Xiaolei pressed her lips tight. So he read it…
"Are you still angry?" he asked, his eyes had returned to his usual innocent look. The big bad wolf look in his eyes was long gone.
Xiaolei didn't answer him and asked him instead. "A-are you going to punish me like that again?"
"Y-you don't like it." he innocently replied and Xiaolei was speechless.
"W-w-who would like to be tortured like that?!"
"But my wife… when I'm doing that you, you looked like you –"
Xiaolei quickly put her hand on his mouth to stop him from saying the rest of his sentence.
"Big pan… big bad wolf! Don't you dare say anything more." She firmly said, her face red like overripe tomato as she hastily pushed her husband out of the bathroom.
Once Yu Chen was out, and the door was closed, a satisfied and mischievous smile curved on his face as he faced the bathroom's door. Deep within him, he wanted to see those expressions of hers again. He wanted to hear her beg him so seductively like that again. He wanted her to look at him alone and desire only him. He decided that he will work harder.
…
On their bed, the couple was cuddling so sweetly as they talk. Their conversation this time was all about business. Xiaolei was asking about her husband's experience as the boss of Star Castle. Listening to his story, Xiaolei's heart turned warm. She was glad to hear that her hubby liked what he was doing and he seemed to be enjoying his time with the boys, his new employees and the new atmosphere.
"I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying your stay there." She said as she squeezed him hard.
"Xiaolei… I want to talk about music career." He changed the topic and Xiaolei was surprised.
"My career?"
"Mm. Xiao Mimi's career. I think it's about time. So, as your boss, I want to tell you a good news."
Xiaolei faced him and waited in anticipation on what he was going to say next.
"I want you to start working for your new album tomorrow. I want you to debut while I'm still the CEO of Star Castle." He said and Xiaolei's eyes turned wide.
Her heart started beating wild. She felt like a certain button inside her had been switched and her eyes lit up.
The brightness she exuded didn't escape Yu Chen's notice. He knew. This was her dream after all. He knew that this news would lit up something in her. Just by telling her that she was going to finally officially debut, and sing more, the suppressed passion in her eyes started to blaze.
Xiaolei was touched.
"T-tomorrow?"
"Mm. I don't really have that much of work in Star Castle. Everything is under control and the staffs are talented and dedicated. I honestly have a lot of time to spare so I decided to help you out. You will come to Star Castle and work for your music and everything and I take over. Don't worry, I promise not to overwork. If you want, I can work alongside you to reassure you. You will work in the studio and I'll work on your company's paperwork, right beside you if needed." He negotiated. Xiaolei could tell he had already thought about this. She could even tell that he was already more than prepared. "Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to spend a whole day in Star Castle. Of course, you still need to go to work. I just want you to spare some time. I suggest that you will leave the company at five or four, sometimes at three and come to Star Castle. Bring all the unfinished paperwork to me and I'll work on it."
Xiaolei felt her eyes became warm, just by listening to him. She could feel all his support and she couldn't help but smile and tear up. She had never been supported the way he does. This man was really all she needed in this life.
"What do you say?" Yu Chen asked and Xiaolei just yanked him towards her and embraced him tight as she nodded.
Yu Chen smiled.
That night, both of them spoke about the concept she wanted and everything. Yu Chen also told her about the plan he was thinking which she thought was nothing but genius and epic. Not just that, he told her that he already asked the staff to start working with the production. He even told her that he already negotiated with one of the most talented producer in the music industry which made Xiaolei's mouth turned agape. Indeed, this man was a genius. His abilities were limitless, no matter what kind of industry he's going to handle, he could handle it so flawlessly, even made it almost seemed so easy.
"I honestly wanted to do more but I'm afraid you won't like it." he confessed and Xiaolei pinched his cheeks.
"Please don't do anything more sweetie. You already did such a good job. I'm already overwhelmed with all your support. Leave the rest to me now, okay?"
Yu Chen smiled. "I knew you'd say that."
