Chapter 216 - Imagination and real life is not the same

Kong Xianwang didn't stay at Mai Yuerui's house that long. After taking a small nap he got out from bed, took out a blanket and covered Mai Yuerui properly.

Then he went to her kitchen and made chicken porridge for his wife.

He poured the porridge in a thermoflask and placed it at the centre of her kitchen counter so that Mai Yuerui gets the see this when she wakes up. He didn't forget to leave a note for her.

Before leaving he again sneaked a peak at his wife and kissed her forehead lightly.

--------

The next day, Mai Yuerui woke up with the sound of her alarm. She was so tired that she slept the whole night and didn't even woke up for dinner.

After turning off the alarm she stretched her arms and gave out a loud yawn.....

She scratched her head while looking around and realized that she is in her apartment.

"When did I come home? I remember taking a nap in Xianwang's car." She said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Oh!" Mai Yuerui covered her mouth with both her hands when she realized that Kong Xianwang might have carried her to her apartment.

"Mai Yuerui, you idiot! Why did you slept in his car? Did he carry me all the way here? Ah...." She disheveled her hair out of frustration.

Then her eyes fell on the thermoflask. Her apartment is a one room apartment so she can see her kitchen from her bed.

She got off from bed and went to kitchen.

After opening the lid the aroma of chicken porridge tingled her nose.

"Smells good. I guess he won't have any problem if I don't cook for him." She said to herself.

As she was pouring some porridge for herself her eyes fell on the note left by her husband.

She picked up the note and read the content out loud.

"Do not devour the whole in just one meal. Eat some green vegetables too. You should go on a strict diet. You are quite heavy, you know."

Mai Yuerui crumbled the paper in a second and made a pouted face.

"If I am heavy, then who told you to carry me? You could have just wake me up, Jerk." She started to yell at her husband in her imagination.

Ting....

The notification sound of her phone moved her attention.

It was a message from Lin Zongguan.

It said that she needs to be with him today when Kong Xianwang arrives as she needs to submit her yesterday's report to Xianwang herself. So she should come early today.

After reading the message her face turned into a hopeless child as she dumped herself on the floor.

"God knows, what that jerk has in store for me today."

She let out a sigh.

"No matter what happens, I will not let him bully me." Mai Yuerui turned her palm into a fist as she motivated herself.

----------

Since she needs to report to the CEO, Mai Yuerui decided to wear a black colored jumpsuit with a black coat on the top.

After arriving early the first thing she did was to go and meet Lin Zongguan.

"Mr. Lin, Do I have to carry all these to the main building?" Mai Yuerui asked sheepishly.

There were at least 20 large box files. And by the thought of carrying them all the way to the main office made Mai Yuerui sweat.

"No. You also did a summary, right?"

Mai Yuerui nodded in reply.

"Just take them with you."

Mai Yuerui gave out a smile and started to pick the files.

When she was busy in looking for the summary files, suddenly Lin Zongguan came close to her and whispered slowly, "Mai Yuerui, did you, by any chance made CEO Kong disappointed?"

Mai Yuerui became dumbfounded by his sudden question.

"No, Mr. Lin." She shook her head.

"Then why is he..." Lin Zongguan paused and suddenly changed the topic.

"You come out with me after taking the file."

Lin Zongguan has noticed that Kong Xianwang has been playing tricks on her from the day she joined. He couldn't help wonder if she has made him angry or something in some way and also felt pity for the innocent child.

------------

Like everytime all the department heads are lined up in front of the main building to greet the CEO. Today Mai Yuerui also joined them.

It was not her first time in this awkward situation. So Mai Yuerui didn't feel awkward at their weird stares. She just stood there with a poker face expression while holding a number of box files.

'Why are you people staring at me? Put yourself in my position. An innocent little girl has to stand under the sun with this pile of files only to wait for your jerk of a CEO. Then you will understand my pain.' Mai Yuerui started to act like a victim in her mind.

.....

At 9 AM everyone is waiting for Kong Xianwang to arrive. And like always he came at 9.

He came out from his car elegantly and nodded to everyone.

He also wore a black suit today matching with his wife.

Since Mai Yuerui had a pile of files she couldn't see Xianwang. But other departments head were once looking at Kong Xianwang then turned to see Mai Yuerui.

They again wore matching outfits.

Kong Xianwang looked at his cute wife having a hard time to hold the files and walked towards her.

"Ms. Mai!" He loudly called her name out.

It was so sudden that it startled her making her fall a couple of files.

"Oh... I am so sorry, Boss. Let me took them. "Mai Yuerui apologized and was about to bend to take the files but Kong Xianwang stopped her.

"No, It's okay. May be my voice made you startled. Let me take them for you." Saying so Kong Xianwang took the files from the ground.

"Ah... Thank you, Boss. You can put them over these files." Mai Yuerui replied.

"No, it's okay. You are taking them to me anyways. I can carry them." Kong Xianwang politely requested.

But suddenly the expression on his eyes changed as he whispered in a very low voice to her, "Since I can carry you all the way to fifth floor, these two files is a piece of cake for me." There was a mischievous smirk on his face.

Even though only Mai Yuerui heard what he said but it still made her unprepared and she looked at him with her eyes wide open.

'Is he crazy? What if someone hears him?'

She immediately replied loudly so that people won't get any wrong idea that they are whispering with each other.

"That's so great of you, Boss. Thank you so much."

After replying loudly she sealed her lips.

After the greeting, Lin Zongguan and Si ying was about to follow Kong Xianwang to his office but Kong Xianwang stopped them.

"Mr. Lin, you don't have to come. I sure Ms. Mai can manage."

Then he looked at Si ying and added, "You too, Si ying."

Mai Yuerui didn't know how to react. She thought she had learned to tolerate people's stare. But before it was a stare out of pity. And now it's a scandalous type of staring.

She awkwardly nodded to them and walked inside the main building with Kong Xianwang.

....

After entering the building both of them stood together to wait for the elevator.

While they were waiting suddenly Kong Xianwang talked to her, " This must be heavy for you let me carry them."

"No, I am fine.you are already carrying some of them. This already helps." She replied.

"No, it's okay. It's my fault that you had to carry all this now. Let me help."

"Now you are realizing?" Mai Yuerui rolled her eyes at him.

"Let me." Saying so he took all the files from her.

While they were waiting, Kong Xianwang suddenly came close to Mai Yuerui.

"What are you doing?" Mai Yuerui became nervous.

"Did you forget that we have to act?" Kong Xianwang replied.

"No."

"Then this is time for another act." Saying so Kong Xianwang held the files in one hand and with the other hand he gently grabbed Mai Yuerui's one hand.

"What are you doing?" Mai Yuerui started to panic.

She was about to turn and look if there is people around but Kong Xianwang stopped her.

"Stay still. Don't turn."

"What?"

"Just grab my hand softly and look straight. Don't look elsewhere."

"Umm... O....kay..."

Her hands were shaking.

"Don't be nervous, dear. Just hold my hands naturally." Kong Xianwang tried to comfort her.

"I will try." Mai Yuerui pressed her lips and forced a smile.

But her hand was sweating out of nervousness. She intially thought that it would be fun like how it shows in the dramas. But now that she is actually doing it's really hard for an introverted girl like her.

Imagination and real life is not the same.
