Chapter 22 I Miss You



Xu Zhe smiled and met those burning, dark eyes.

She reached out her arms to hook her arms around his neck and pulled herself toward him.

A hint of surprise appeared on Xu Zhengxi's face, but it quickly vanished.

He didn't keep her waiting long...

......

Xu Zhengxi glanced at the clock; the hands pointed to 1:30.

It's almost time to go to the meeting.

But he was not satisfied.

Xu Zhengxi had no choice but to try his best to feed her.

......

Finally, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Zhengxi settled her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went to the bathroom for a quick shower.

While he was getting dressed, Butler Zhou announced from outside the door that Secretary Chen had come to pick him up.

Xu Zhengxi responded and frowned slightly as she looked in the full-length mirror.

He looked at the dark red stain on his shirt collar with some annoyance.

That bright red mark was clearly imprinted on his Adam's apple.

I tried on several shirts, but nothing could hide it.

Butler Zhou reminded them twice more from outside the door.

Xu Zhengxi had no choice but to open the door and go out.

When Xu Zhe woke up, it was already evening.

The sky was dark and gloomy.

She was still in Xu Zhengxi's room, and she was still alone.

But she was no longer afraid.

Her heart was filled to the brim, with the satisfaction of binge eating.

Xu Zhe rubbed his aching back and slowly sat up.

The sultry smell in the room and the red marks all over her body gave her a strange sense of peace.

She tried to get up slowly, supporting herself against the walls and furniture as she moved into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she discovered that Xu Zhengxi had added her bath towel and bathrobe to his bathroom cabinet.

Its pink color contrasts beautifully with his white.

Xu Zhe smiled, his face beaming with sweetness.

Xu Zhengxi wasn't there, so she ate dinner alone at the large dining table.

She was so exhausted that she ate with extra relish.

Aunt Lin was worried that she would overeat and upset her stomach, so she specially brewed her some tea to help with digestion.

Xu Zhe sat in the TV room, drinking tea and listening to the news.

"Lingnan News reported that a meeting was held on the afternoon of May 27th... chaired by Xu Zhengxi..."

Upon hearing Xu Zhengxi's position, Xu Zhe immediately looked up to watch television.

The news footage includes a panoramic view of the meeting, close-ups of other attendees, then cuts to panoramic and wide shots of the meeting...

There were no close-up shots of Hsu Cheng-hsi from beginning to end.

Hsu Che was puzzled. According to the order of the news footage, Hsu Cheng-hsi's close-up should have been shown before everyone else's.

Moreover, in the panoramic view, Hsu Cheng-hsi is also slightly lowering her head.

This is somewhat different from his usual composure and extraordinary, magnanimous and relaxed demeanor.

She couldn't figure out why, but she realized she missed him.

"Are you back?"

Xu Zhe sent him a message.

For the first time, she took the initiative to ask him when he would be home.

Xu Zhengxi replied to the message quickly:

"On the way."

"It will take about fifteen minutes to get home."

"What's up?"

Xu Zhe held his phone, looking at Xu Zhengxi's reply, and smiled sweetly.

It turns out that "disturbing" him is not a taboo subject.

Look how frequently he replies.

Xu Zhe smiled and typed: "I miss you."

Xu Zhengxi arrived less than ten minutes after those three words were sent.

The housekeeper didn't notify her to come and greet him as usual. Xu Zhengxi went straight to the TV room and clung to Xu Zhe as soon as she entered.

She turned her head to look at the TV screen, but the next second her chin was grabbed and Xu Zhengxi turned her face towards him.

He tilted his chin slightly, showing her his neck completely.

There was a dark red mark on his Adam's apple, as if it was about to bleed.

Xu Zhe then understood why there were no close-up shots of Xu Zhengxi in the news.

She really didn't consider Xu Zhengxi's image last night; she acted impulsively...

"I acted impulsively... I'm sorry~"
