Chi Yuanfeng and Fang Shanshan freaked out when they saw her cry.
“Why, Xiaxia, don’t cry… what’s wrong?”
An Xiaxia wiped away her tears. “It’s nothing… I got dust in my eye.”
Chi Yuanfeng looked around curiously. That was weird. It wasn’t windy today. How did dust get into her eye?
In the end, being a woman, Fang Shanshan was the more sensitive one. She guessed that it might have something to do with Sheng Yize and asked tentatively, “Was Uncle Sheng the person that saved you?”
An Xiaxia bit her lower lip and nodded affirmatively.
Sheng Yize had been her guardian angel this whole time.
“Brother is awesome… keeping it from you for this long.” Chi Yuanfeng was astonished. “Hey, Xiaxia, where are you going?”
An Xiaxia shuffled away in her slippers and answered without looking back, “I need to make a phone call.”
After going back to her own room, An Xiaxia took a few deep breaths and dialed Sheng Yize’s number.
She checked the time — Sheng Yize should have arrived at Yu City by now.
The call went through after two rings and Sheng Yize’s voice was a little hoarse on the other end. “Xiaxia?”
“It’s me.” An Xiaxia became nervous at his voice. She faltered, not knowing what to say.
Sheng Yize rubbed his forehead, took the documents his assistant handed him, and signed them in his unrestrained handwriting. He then asked gently, “Why? Missing home already?”
The assistant and the other executives looked like they had just been hit by a thunderbolt.
Oh god! Who was this tender-hearted man and what had he done with their president?!
Give them back their haughty boss!
An Xiaxia tugged at the lower hem of her clothes. “I just want to tell you… thank you.”
Thank you for saving me so many times and for staying by my side all these years, making me feel that I’ve always been loved.
Sheng Yize thought that she was thanking him for rescuing her from the ocean. He chuckled. “Instead of thanking me, you should really think about… how to make it up to me.”
“Hm… what do you want, then?”
“Your body,” he teased his little wife. Even through the phone, he could imagine An Xiaxia’s shy flushed cheeks.
He was in a great mood right away.
“No… no problem…” An Xiaxia replied a long moment later, but was mystified by those words as soon as she said them.
Gosh, what was she saying?! How could she say “no problem”?!
She had said yes to his “pay me back with your body”!
An Xiaxia, how idiotic can you be?!
She tried to brush it off. “Why, the reception’s breaking up here. See you!”
Sheng Yize held his phone and the smile on his face broadened.
That little fool…
They had only been apart for several hours and he was already missing her.
Putting away his phone, he realized that the others were still in the room. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Questions?”
They shook their heads in unison.
“Did the company hire you to sit around and do nothing?” The roomful of people scattered right away when Sheng Yize’s sharp tongue came back online.
Aww! It had definitely been an illusion! Their boss was still as merciless as ever!

“Xiaxia!” Fang Shanshan ran into her room. “I made Chi Yuanfeng cry again! He’s just so fragile!”
An Xiaxia patted her cheeks, which had finally cooled down a little.
“What did you do this time?”
“I told him to bear my child and he was frightened to tears.” Fang Shanshan looked frustrated.
Pfft —
Woman, any normal person would be frightened, ok?!
“He’s useless. Let’s hang out with some other cute guys tomorrow!” Fang Shanshan waved her fists. “There’s this really handsome guy, one of the newly hired mercenaries. I think he used to work in the special forces back home!”
