When she finished that bowl of soup, Chu Lui finally heaved a sigh of relief as he took his sleeves and helped her wipe her mouth. He did not mind the fact that his clothes were worth tens of thousands. At this time, his hair was in a mess; and his tie was haphazardly done; there was also a weird smell coming from him. Even a feather was on his pants.
“Do you want some more?” Chu Lui placed the bowl down and then placed the blanket around her. His fingers were warm, and so was his face; it was hard to associate him with the cold man from before.
Xia Ruoxin shook her head, and she wanted to smile; however, she just could not. She leaned her chin on his shoulders. If those things did not happen, how good would it be?
“Ruoxin, don’t go there anymore, okay? I’ll give you whatever you want.” Chu Lui held Xia Ruoxin’s hands tightly. “Promise me, okay?”
Xia Ruoxin was still resting on his shoulders, and her gaze was focused on the front until water covered her eyes. Then, it dripped down, drop by drop.
It was until Chu Lui thought she was going to sleep, and then he heard her sigh.
“Okay.”
Chu Lui held her hand tightly and finally let go of what was suppressing him.
At this time, the sky was dark; and darkness had infiltrated to every corner. All the street lights were on, and actually, they did not need that much of a nightlife. Everything was okay if they had each other’s company even if it was silent.
When Xia Ruoxin said she would not go, she really did not. The next day, she was still being injected; and her tiny tubes already had two jabs. Chu Lui held her hand in his palm so she would not be cold.
Jia Xinbao, on the other hand, had sighed secretly. Who said that the CEO of the Chu Enterprise had no heart? From what he saw, this man was a warmhearted one.
He stood up, touched his stomach, and ran into the kitchen to check on the food. Chu Lui had specifically hired a part-time helper to help clean the house and also make three meals a day. She was great at making soup that was very delicious and nutritious. Chu Lui wanted this for his woman to nourish her body, but in the end, he drank most of the soup himself.
“Auntie Mi, are you done?” He ran as he asked; he was prepared to eat.
Oh, right, the part-time helper’s last name was Mi so they all called her Auntie Mi. Auntie Mi had a son that was the same age as Jia Xinbao so she took special care of him and would give him more meat from time to time. Jia Xinbao felt that he would definitely become chubbier if this continued, but he had no choice as he could not control his mouth.
“Where’s Mr. Chu? I made the soup he asked me to.”
Auntie Mi asked Jia Xinbao softly and was pretty emotional. How much did this Mr. Chu like that precious Ms. Xia? Youngsters these days were really scary when they fell in love.
“Inside.” Jia Xinbao pointed to the room. “I’ll bring it in a while. Ms. Xia is asleep, but when she drinks your soup, she’ll wake up in no time. Even if deities came across your soup, they would definitely want to drink it.”
“You’re so sweet.” Auntie Mi laughed unwittingly. However, it was obvious that all kinds of people loved to hear compliments. Jia Xinbao originally had a baby face, and together with his sweet mouth, Auntie Mi’s motherly love shone.
Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes and moved her fingers. This time, a big palm reached over and warmed her cold face.
“Are you hungry?” He asked as he rubbed against her face. He wanted to give her warmth; all the warmth if he could.
“Mm, kind of.” She sat up and was hungry.
“I’ll go bring it in.” Chu Lui stood up and went out, oblivious of Xia Ruoxin’s complicated gaze on his body.
She turned around and looked down, and there was a blur in her eyes.
Not long later, Chu Lui came in again with a bowl of delicious soup in his hands.
The soup was made from all kinds of tonics, and based on Auntie Mi’s cooking techniques, it must be a skill that ran down in her family. It was very nutritious and was not too much; of course, Auntie Mi’s pay was not cheap.
When Xia Ruoxin wanted to take the spoon, Chu Lui pressed her hand down.
“Let me do it.” As he said, he took the soup and fed her mouth by mouth.
Every mouth he fed, Xia Ruoxin would drink; and in no time, the entire bowl was finished.
At this time, his phone rang. He took out his phone from his pocket, and it was Du Jingtang.
“Mm, I know. I’ll be right there.” He put down his phone, and once he saw Xia Ruoxin’s pair of eyes staring intently at him, Chu Lui did not really want to go. How could he go when she was in such a state?
“Do you want to go with me?” He reached his hand out to touch her head.
“Your office is still there; you can go over to check your post.”
“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin smiled and clutched the blanket. No one knew that her lips were curved strangely.
…
A car stopped in front of the Chu Enterprise, and Chu Lui held Xia Ruoxin’s hand and walked in. When he entered, the security was taken aback. The CEO actually brought a woman back. Everyone knew that there had not been females around Chu Lui for a long time; even his cat was a male.
Now, he actually held a woman’s hand, and the woman was very thin but really pretty. Especially when her clothes flew, she looked like a fairy.
The security guard was still staring and standing straight, upholding his duty.
When Xia Ruoxin walked to them, she stopped.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Lui stopped and followed her gaze which landed on the few security guards.
Xia Ruoxin turned around and grinned. “I don’t like them.”
Her words stunned the security guards as if a bucket of cold water was splashed on them.
“Oh…” Chu Lui walked forward and placed her loose hair strands behind her ear. “If you don’t like them, then they will leave.”
“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin smirked yet again, and her pair of eyes seemed to smile. Yes, leave. In the past, she was too softhearted so everyone took advantage of her at all times, even wanted to kill her. Now that she was back, she was going to take revenge.
