“Who overcooks rice?” Zhuo Jingren teased Lily as they sat inside the private jet. He then let out a light laughter and squeezed his wife’s cheeks.
“Aw! What are you doing!?” she raised an eyebrow.
“You have been pouting for two hours now. It will make you look older than me.”Another laughter escaped his mouth when Lily sent him a glare.
“You are years older than me! You are the one who looks old!”
Her words only made Zhuo Jingren laugh even more.
“You told me, my cooking sucks! I will never forget it!”
“I said… its overcooked.” He shook his head before pulling her towards him, earning another glare from Lily. He made her sat on his lap and kissed her neck. “But it is good. I even ate all of it.”
“You did it because I was pouting.”
“That is partly true.” He nodded. “Aw… don’t just pinched me. This is abuse you know.”
“No one will believe you!” she fired back.
“You know what? I think I should write a book about domestic abuse in men. This is a very debatable and popular topic lately.” Another laughter echoed when he saw Lily narrowed his eyes at him. This created a light atmosphere inside the private jet. This was also the atmosphere that both Secretary Go and Yang Mi had walk into. Both of them, almost rolled their eyes as they heard their bosses tease each other.
“The boss is really happy this past few months.” Secretary Go said to himself as he gave his luggage to the attendant. In a span of few months, he was able to see different emotions from his boss. Emotions that he was not able to witness before Lily came. A small smile made its way to his lips. But this was short-lived as she heard Yang Mi butted in beside him.
“He should be happy. He would never see another woman was amazing as my boss.” Yang Mi said. Gentleness laced her tone. She too had been very happy that Lily had found a way to become happy and even changed a lot of her views in life. Silence wrapped between the two as they listened to their bosses’ laughter as they continue to banter with each other.
“Finally, they will marry each other.” Secretary Go said after a few minutes of silence.
“What are you talking about old man. They are already married. This is just your boss’ way of showing it to the world. Apparently, he also planned to do it in korea next year.” Yang Mi snorted.
“It only shows how much he loves her. You should be thankful that the madam found a man that truly loves her.”
“She can marry any man that she wanted and I would be happy for her. But this marriage is— in my opinion a waste of time. I mean marrying in every country? That is too lavish.”
“You are a woman! How could you say such a thing about marriage?” Disbelief swirled in Secretary Go’s eyes as he looked at her. “You should love marriage and extravagant things about love.”
“Love is found in your heart, you dummy.” Yang Mi spat out. “It’s not in the money that you spent in a wedding.” Sensing Secretary Go’s stare, Yang Mi immediately looked at him. “This does not mean that I am not happy to see my boss happy.” She explained. “As I said, this is just my personal opinion. Still… I am happy for President Lily to wed and I would support her all through out the way. Plus they have the money to do it… They have been working so hard. Both of them deserve it.”
Secretary Go hesitated for a moment. “So— you don’t want a wedding for yourself?”
“One wedding is fine. And only family too… 20 guests is enough” Yang Mi answered before she widened her eyes and avoided his gaze. She silently chastised herself for answering such a private question like that.She then cleared her throat. “But that is only to the man that I can’t live without.”
“You are strange.” Secretary Go uttered, his voice low.
“Why would you say that?”
“Every woman loves an extravagant wedding! Why don’t you like big weddings?”
“No reason at all.” She answered and shifted her gaze towards Zhuo Jingren who just let out another laugh. It was obvious that he was enjoying teasing his wife so much. His face was already turning scarlet from laughing while Lily had been pouting and suppressing herself from smiling. Yang Mi was not able to stop herself from smiling at the couple.
She wondered what would Lilian feel if she was here watching her granddaughter act like this.
“What are you thinking?” Secretary Go asked.
“You have been very talkative lately Go Jichen.” She noted and looked at him. She decided to change the topic. “Are you perhaps starting to like me?” The surprise in Secretary Go’s face was so apparent it almost made Yang Mi laugh out loud. However, she knew it would only disturb Lily and Zhuo Jingren. She maintained a stoic expression and raised an eyebrow at him.
“What? Why are you speechless? Ha! Did I get it right? You are starting to like me?” she teased.
“What if I do?” Secretary Go’s answer made Yang Mi froze. “What can you do about it?” She watched as victory flashed in Secretary Go’s eyes. Watching her blushed must have made him feel elated. Irritation instantly rumbled inside Yang Mi.
“It was a one time thing.”
“What one time thing?” the confused look in Secretary Go’s face only made her more angry. She narrowed her eyes at him.
“You better watch yourself while you are sleeping Go Jichen. I am warning you! That kiss— I should kill you for kissing me that night.”
“Hah! That kiss… one-time thing. Oh! You are talking about that!? I never thought that—”
“Shut it.” Yang Mis hissed. “This will be the last time that you mention that word in front of me.”
“And what if I mention it again?” he challenged and watched as Yang Mi’s chest raised. Anger visible in her eyes. She suddenly rose from her seat and transfered to the seat across him without saying anything. Seeing this, Secretary Go shook his head.
If he wanted to formally court Yang Mi, he would need to talk to Zhuo Jingren and eventually Lily about it. He was not the type of guy who would keep his feelings a secret and would always chose to respect the people close to them. He lowered his gaze as he thought of going to Europe with Yang Mi.
Who knows what else will happen in this trip?
