Chapter 506: 506, the arrogant President Xiao is not to be messed with

Although CEO Xiao always took his work seriously, as a man with a sixth sense, he couldn’t help but notice that his boss was, of late, taking seriousness to a whole other level.

Every day, he showed up in the office before nine in the morning, and he worked overtime, attending various meetings, until nine or ten in the evening.

Unless there was socializing to do outside or he had to leave for somewhere else, as his assistant, he had no choice but to accompany his boss and work overtime in the office.

It was simply unbearable!

Zhong Kai once called the housekeeper at the Lishui Bay Villa, and the reply he got was: the princess has been staying at school all month.

So it could be assumed that CEO Xiao Yebai’s workaholic tendencies were due to a lack of a sex life?

A yin-yang imbalance, leading to a volatile temper, could only mean that he was channeling all his energy into work, right…?

Once all the reports were handed in, and seeing his boss still had a stone face, Zhong Kai carefully broke the news, “CEO Xiao, the princess just called me.”

Just as expected, upon hearing that, the man’s face relaxed a little.

Even though his reaction was subtle, Zhong Kai noticed it.

However, Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything.

Zhong Kai then quickly said, “The two pet turtles that we sent to the princess earlier, it seems they’ve suddenly died due to hibernation.”

Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelid, “So?”

Zhong Kai was taken aback.

Was he not supposed to instruct him to buy two new pet turtles for the princess immediately?

What did he mean by “so”?

Zhong Kai had no choice but to offer advice again, “So, CEO Xiao, do you want me to buy two more exactly the same and send them over to the princess? The little princess is so pure and kind-hearted, she must be so sad after her pet turtles died, if CEO Xiao gives her…”

“You may leave now.”

“Huh?” Zhong Kai froze. “CEO Xiao, the turtles…”

Should he buy them or not?

“…” The man coldly, almost sarcastically, stared at him. His handsome features tightened and looked slightly rugged, even vaguely showing some signs of anger.

Without saying a word, he made Zhong Kai’s back run cold, so he quickly picked up his notebook.

“CEO Xiao, I’ll leave now.”

…

After leaving the CEO’s office, Zhong Kai couldn’t help but grumble to himself.

God damn, that scared the crap out of him. The boss obviously loved and cared about the princess, so why did he always deny it in front of him?

The proud and tsundere CEO Xiao was indeed untouchable.

At a corner of the university garden.

Su Wanwan stood there, watching Ling Zhizhou dig a hole, helped Mo Weiyi to put the box with the turtles in the hole, and then fill it up.

She had said it all along. With a delicate personality like Mo Weiyi, who could barely take care of herself, she brought the turtles to their dormitory. As expected, the turtles had met with an early demise.

But seeing that Mo Weiyi seemed quite sad, Su Wanwan didn’t feel it appropriate to say much.

Regardless, they were two living creatures. Their sudden departure without warning might naturally cause the owner to grieve.

“Senior sister, shall I… accompany you to buy two new ones?” Ling Zhizhou seemed to notice Mo Weiyi’s mood was a bit down and actively proposed.

Mo Weiyi shook her little head, “No need.”

“Then forget it.” Su Wanwan echoed, “Once the exams are over, we’ll be on holiday. If you still want to keep pets, we can talk about it when the new semester begins.”

“I won’t keep them again.” said Mo Weiyi, “I don’t like turtles in the first place.”

“Huh?” Su Wanwan looked at her.

Ling Zhizhou was also confused.

“Let’s go, to the reading room.” After Mo Weiyi said this, she turned around and left.

Su Wanwan: “…”

What was wrong with this girl?

…

…

They’d just sat down in the reading room when Su Wanwan’s cell phone rang.

It was a message from Huo Jingshen.

[Baby, come to the school gate for a while.]

Su Wanwan felt like rolling her eyes.

Didn’t they just meet yesterday?

This man…

He really was clingy!

But what could she do?

He was her husband, since they were married, there was no way around it.

She could only stand up, “Weiyi, I need to step out for a bit.”

“Okay.” Mo Weiyi didn’t even raise her head.

When she reached the school gate, Su Wanwan immediately ran over, opened the car door, and sat inside.

Huo Jingshen was wearing a dark blue cashmere sweater with a white shirt, his gentle gaze focused on her.

The sight of him set Su Wanwan’s heart racing. “What’s up?”

Huo Jingshen finally spoke, “Your husband has to catch a flight.”

“Business trip again?”

No wonder he suddenly came to the school to see her.

Su Wanwan immediately asked, “Where are you going, and for how long?”

“Going to the UK, for about a week. When your exams are over, I’ll be back.”

Su Wanwan immediately frowned, “To meet Fu Qi?”

Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, leisurely staring at her, “So you don’t trust your own husband?”

“I don’t trust her!” Su Wanwan glared at him.

She still remembered Fu Qi’s words at the time, her love for Huo Jingshen was simply cherished like family heirlooms!

“Xihan has run into some trouble, I have to go back.” Huo Jingshen explained.

Fu Xihan, Su Wanwan naturally knew about him, he was Fu Ziyang’s father, but he seemed to be a jerk as well.

“Does Ziyang know?”

“I’m not telling him for now.”

“Okay then.”

Huo Jingshen looked at the time and then at the young girl, “Husband is leaving now, won’t my baby say goodbye?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback by his suddenly changed topic.

So seriously asking her to say goodbye was really…

But thinking about being miles apart again, Su Wanwan’s eyes unconsciously looked down.

This man was polished from head to toe, his handsome face was clean and refined, you couldn’t see a trace of beard on his face, only when you got closer could you see a bit of stubble on his jaw.

Honestly, he was very manly and sexy.

She moved closer.

Quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, she gave him a peck.

“Is that okay?”

“Just like that.”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

Wasn’t that enough?

“Hurry up.”

“…” Su Wanwan was speechless, just about to speak.

“Forget it, the husband will do it direct.”

Su Wanwan again: “…”

The most frequent route she had taken in her life was this man’s roundabout ways!

…

Finally, after it ended, Huo Jingshen patted her head, “Baby, focus on your exams these few days, be good and wait for husband to come back.”

“…” Su Wanwan nodded.

Her face was still very red, looking somewhat shy. In his eyes, he saw a distinctly lovable charm.

Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

If it wasn’t for the fact that time was running out, he really wanted to say goodbye to her one more time.

Two days later, the end-of-term exam at Nancheng University officially began.

The exams lasted five days, in the morning, afternoon, and even at night.

After five days of exams, Su Wanwan walked out of the exam room feeling completely drained, almost as if her brain cells were all burnt out.

But thinking about finally being able to go on break, and the old man also coming back to the country, her mood instantly brightened.

Moreover, the winter vacation lasted nearly a month. In the second half of the year when she returned to school, she would have to prepare for internships and graduation papers. She could plan her future development goals well.

…

Back in the dormitory, the whole dormitory building seemed to be filled with the joyful atmosphere of the upcoming break.

Soon Zhao Qianqian called, saying that she had gathered a few classmates for a get-together that evening.

Because the next time they would meet would be after the New Year, which would be a month away.

After some thought, Su Wanwan gladly agreed.

Once she had packed up her things, she heard voices next door, she immediately put down her things and went over.

Aunt Zhou was in the dormitory helping Mo Weiyi pack her luggage.

When she first moved in, she had a total of seven suitcases; now, going back, she had only packed one suitcase.

“Weiyi, are you going home now?”

“Yes.”

Su Wanwan couldn’t resist asking, “Isn’t Xiao Zong coming to pick you up?”

“I don’t need him.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

In fact, ever since Xiao Yebai visited her last time, he never seemed to visit the school again, up until the exams took place.

She was now going home and he still wouldn’t come to pick her up?

This jerk is beyond saving!

Half an hour later.

Sitting in the car, Aunt Zhou said with a smile, “Princess, I made your favorite ginseng chicken soup, you can drink it when you get home.”

“I don’t like ginseng chicken soup.”

“Ah?” Aunt Zhou was stunned.

The little princess always asked her to prepare ginseng chicken soup in advance, why all of a sudden she didn’t like it…

“I like to drink bone soup.” Mo Weiyi smiled, “Aunt Zhou, make me more bone soup in the future, put in some winter melon, radish and such, I love to eat it.”

“Okay.”

Talking and chatting all the way, they quickly returned to the Lishui Bay Villa.

The servants helped to carry the luggage and Mo Weiyi went straight in.

It was four in the afternoon, and Xiao Yebai hadn’t finished work yet.

Companies have later holidays than schools, and he was always a workaholic. He definitely wouldn’t be home until eight or nine o’clock.

The villa was cleaned up and tidy, not much different from when she left. All around were traces of her decorations, including the Japanese girl illustrations on the wall imbued with a strong youthfulness.
