“…Where are you going?” Feeling the woman beside him about to leave, Xia Er Xi’s eyes barely open, yet he accurately grasped her wrist.
“I thought you were asleep,” Xin Luo gazed at the defenseless man before her, “I’m hungry and want to find something to eat.”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll have Xiao Li go buy it.”
“No need to trouble Xiao Li, cooking noodles is quick.”
“No! I don’t want to let you go.” Like a willful big child, he grumbled unhappily.
Lowering her eyes to his hand gripping her tightly: Xin Luo’s heart felt both sour and sweet, like a mix of complex emotions.
He didn’t want to let her go!
If only he was serious about this sentence, she would probably be hiding under the blanket and giggling — as long as he truly didn’t want to let her go…… “Sleep a bit more, I’ll go cook something to eat.” She answered softly.
Lazily opening her starry eyes, Xia Er Xi’s gaze was burning, as if trying to see deep into her soul. “You know how many women wish I would stay and keep them company a little longer, and I’m unwilling, yet you don’t care.”
Upon hearing this, Xin Luo’s expression slightly changed. His words were like stepping on a landmine, a taboo. She could play deaf and dumb, pretend not to see or hear, but that didn’t mean she could tolerate hearing about other women from his mouth — that would be too cruel to her.
Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, she broke free from his hand. “Because I’m not like them, I won’t beg you to stay. If you don’t like it, you can leave.”
Looking at her unappealing stubborn expression, Xia Er Xi rolled over, propped his chin, and tilted his head to look at her. “Xin Luo, I’m really curious about what exactly you want.”
This wasn’t the first time; he truly enjoyed testing her limits. They had been together for eight years, during which women came and went around him like fish in a river. He believed she must know, yet she still maintained this ambiguous attitude.
If he didn’t know her so well, he might have suspected she was playing hard to get.
“……I’m not after anything from you.” Xin Luo coldly dropped the words and turned to leave.
What he couldn’t give her, she wouldn’t foolishly beg for. “Are you angry?” He laughed self-deprecatingly, chasing after her and hugging her from behind. “…No.” “You’re lying, your face is clearly red with anger.” “You know my rule, in this room, I don’t want to hear about any other women from your mouth.” Her request was already so small, here, he could only be hers alone. “Sorry, it’s my fault, don’t be angry.” He gently kissed her cheek. “…” “Don’t be angry, today is your birthday, you don’t want to have an unhappy birthday, right?” He softly coaxed. “I haven’t even wished you happy birthday yet!” “…” She glanced at him, biting her lip and staying silent. This man, blessed with natural charm, found it too easy to win women’s emotions, and fundamentally didn’t know how to cherish them—yet countless women still flew to him like moths to a flame—including herself. “Are you hungry? Shall I cook some Italian pasta for you?” She didn’t want to continue this topic. The path was her choice, she had nothing to complain about, willingly being a hidden mistress, because this was the only way she wouldn’t get hurt. By not having expectations from the start, she naturally wouldn’t feel disappointed. “First tell me what gift you want, I’ll give you a gift.” “I don’t have anything special I want.”
」 “There must be, every woman will have a gift she wants, think carefully and take a look.” 」 “…” Looking at his confident and handsome face, Xinluo fell silent. “Hmm?” He raised his eyebrow. “…” What she wanted was actually very simple, she just wanted him to linger a bit more on her… Just a little more… “Xinluo?” “Mr. Genie… why don’t you give me a table full of food! I’m already starving.” She paused, giving him a very unromantic answer. Unable to say what was in her heart, Xinluo ultimately chose to protect herself. Believing her expression must look somewhat ugly, Xia’erxi suddenly let go of his embrace. “Go cook noodles! Talented girl.” He muttered without hiding his displeasure, knowing so many women, but she was the hardest to please, and he still fell for her tricks! Damn! Not minding his cold and stiff face at all, Xinluo walked into the kitchen to prepare ingredients, her attitude very calm. Recently, she had been having an ominous premonition, a feeling so strong that it scared her, their emotions seemed to be about to end, she and he—— were about to be over! Murmuring “The CEO Wants to Play a Game” Chapter 2 “…Erxi, which necklace do you think looks better on me?” Focusing back and forth as the counter lady took out necklaces for her to try on, Zhenyun’s eyes lit up.
Growing up in a well-off family, she had never had the opportunity to own such expensive jewelry worth over six figures. Indeed, knowing a wealthy young master was different – he was generous and lavish. “They’re all good,” she answered without much enthusiasm. Xia’er Xi’s attention was drawn to a simple necklace.
He suddenly remembered he still owed Xin Luo a birthday gift. A simple solitaire style would definitely suit Xin Luo’s elegant temperament, and it would surely look dazzling on her fair, delicate neck… Unfortunately, every time he thought about her unappealing response that day, his desire to give a gift was greatly diminished.
That woman was completely unwilling to satisfy his male ego. If she would just be a bit coquettish and speak some soft, sweet words to him, he would have no problem buying her a house. She was the one who initially requested to be together, yet she arrogantly made him gnash his teeth!
“Oh? General Manager Gao is here for an inspection!” The sharp-eyed counter girl immediately smiled warmly upon seeing her direct supervisor.
“Yes! Don’t mind me, continue your work,” Gao Yi Zhe waved his hand, completely lacking the pompous attitude of a department store owner.
“Is Secretary Qi accompanying the General Manager?”
“Mm, I have something to do later, so I’m accompanying the General Manager to take a look.”
The familiar soft voice rose nearby. Xia’er Xi involuntarily looked up, seeing Qi Xin Luo standing with a refined and handsome young man, chatting intimately. Suddenly, a hint of displeasure swept through his heart, and he unconsciously frowned.
