Chapter 224 - You are a stupid CEO

"Can you forgive him?"

Ning Tan's question made her freeze for a moment. Even though she told Han Yefang that she can forgive him. But it's not easy as it seem.

Mai Yuerui held both her friends hand and said calmly, "I am not a saint, Ning Tan. Of course I hold grudges against both him and Shu Ren. I know it's hard. But he is not entirely responsible for everything that happened with me. So I will try to at least face him with a smile. Then may be I will be able to forgive him one day."

"Aww... Mai Yuerui..." Ning Tan started to get emotional and hugged her friend. Mai Yuerui didn't try to get away from reality that lie that she forgave him. Instead she explained her situation like a rational human being. That's what she likes about her the most.

After Ning Tan released her friend from her embrace, her eyes fell on the diamond ring on Mai Yuerui's hand.

"Wow, what a pretty ring. When did you buy this, Ruirui? Not only that it's diamond. I never seen you were things like this before."

Mai Yuerui looked at the ring and remembered.

"Oh! This? You don't how what a terrible thing I had to face today! Actually the reporters caught me with Han Yefang in his suit. There were bursting with trashy questions. That's when he came and taught those reporter lesson. He was looking very cool you know. He opened this ring from his pocket and put it on my finger. You should have seen those reporters face then." Mai Yuerui started to narrate every detail.

She was literally moving her hands here and there trying to inact every detail of the incident.

"Whoa...! So that means this is your weeding ring?"

"Umm... You can say that." Mai Yuerui said as she looked at the ring. It was the first time she was having a good look of the ring since her mind was preoccupied earlier.

'Not bad. He has good taste.' she thought in her mind.

"That means you have to wear this to the office now?"

I think so. Damn it. He could have given me a simpler one. It's not convenient to wear this in the office." Mai Yuerui said.

Suddenly her mind though of something.

"Wait a minute..."

"Everyone in the office know about us now." Mai Yuerui got excited.

"Yes..."

"How will I face everyone tomorrow, Ning Tan?" Mai Yuerui started to panic.

"There you go. Again started to panic. Don't worry. Everything is gonna be okay. Besides, you have your Kong Xianwang to protect you." Ning Tan said with a wink.

"Hey... Don't say thing like that." Mai Yuerui started to hit her with a pillow. But Ning Tan still didn't stop she also started to pillow fight with her with her nonstop blabbering.

--------

After gossiping for a long time, Ning Tan left.

They didn't even realize it was already late.

When Ning Tan realized the time she immediately left for her home.

Mai Yuerui also had a great time with her. She is the only person with whom she can share all her life. Both past and her present.

After Ning Tan left Mai Yuerui picked up her phone and searched online.

The news of her and Kong Xianwang's marriage was trending at no. 1 news of the country.

Various articles are written about them and various speculations are posted about them on how they may have known each other.

Ning Tan and Mai Yuerui had been going through every news about them the whole afternoon.

Even though she had seen this clip of their news more then a couple of times with Ning Tan, Mai Yuerui still found it intriguing no matter how much she sees it.

"How can this pervert be this much cool in this type of situation? Did he practice at home for this type of thing before?" She started to wonder.

She looked at the ceiling and said to herself, "I should also practice when I am home. So that I can also be this cool and support him when he needs."

Ding dong...

The sound of the door bell attracted her attention.

When she looked outside through the peephole she found Kong Xianwang standing outside.

She looked at the clock and so the time to be 8 AM.

'What is he doing this late at night?' she thought.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

Before he could say anything Mai Yuerui opened her mouth, "Mr. Kong, what are you doing here this late at night? Do you want people to gossip about us?"

"I am here to meet my wife. What's there to gossip about? Is it a crime to meet my wife?" Saying to he made himself welcome in the house.

Mai Yuerui sighed deeply before closing the door.

"Tell me, what brings you here?"

"I came to give you this." Saying so he took out a bouquet of roses from behind him.

"What is this?" Mai Yuerui smile a little due to shyness.

"I thought these flowers can cheer you up."

"What do mean?"

"You had a foul mood because of those reporters, right?"

"Well, I did had a bad mood that time. Anyways thanks for what you did today." Saying so she took the roses from him and put them in vase on the kitchen counter.

After Mai Yuerui put the flowers on the base, she turned around and saw Kongnwang opening his coat.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I am putting my coat on the bed." He replied.

"Yes. Why are you putting.it on the bed? You have given me the flowers now you can go." Saying so she pointed her fingers at the door.

"I am your newly married husband. How can you treat me like this? Can't I have a good meal with my wife?" He pouted.

"What are you planning to do?" Mai Yuerui came straight to her point.

Hearing her Kong Xianwang came close to her and asked with puppy eyes, "A meal with my wife."

Mai Yuerui chuckled at his cuteness.

"Okay. Tell me what you wanna eat? I will order it for you."

"Why do you have to order?" Kong Xianwang asked.

"I always eat takeout foods. I can't cook, remember?"

"It's okay. I can cook, remember. I will cook for both of us."

"But..." Mai Yuerui wanted to stop him but he didn't listen. He went straight into the kitchen.

He opened the fridge and other cabinets and found decent amount of ingredients.

"You are saying that you can't cook. But you have quite an amount not ingredients in store. Of you can't cook the who uses this?"

Mai Yuerui pressed her lips. She couldn't find any excuse for this.

Them she suddenly replied proudly, "I keep them for decoration."

Hearing her Kong Xianwang instantly dropped an egg on the sink.

"Y...you what? You keep these for decorations?"

"I have this big fridge, you know. Tell me, whenever you opened the fridge and find it empty, how do you feel? Sad, right? But if you see your fridge packed with food, this instantly fills your mind with satisfaction."

Kong Xianwang was shocked to hear her explanation. But she was right in a way. It really makes us sad to see an empty refrigerator. It makes us check the fridge in every hour only to see the emptiness.

Mai Yuerui was still not finished, she continued, "But it's not true that I make the food spoiled. Ning Tan comes around every now and them. That time she cooks for me."

"Tch... Tch... Tch... You are such a spoiled brat." Kong Xianwang said as he shook his head.

----

After about an hour, her house was filled with the aroma of delicious food made by Kong Xianwang.

There were not that much groceries. But he still managed to make egg rolls, grilled cheese and tomato pasta.

"Where did you learn cooking?" Mai Yuerui asked.

"I had been abroad for a while. And seeing alone makes you learn doing things yourself."

"Oh..." She exclaimed.

"But may be it doesn't apply with all. Since you still don't know how to cook. Tell me how did you manage to survive all this while?"

"I have money." Three words from her made everyone clear to him.

Kong Xianwang knows that fact that all these five years Mai Yuerui never asked a penny from her family. She earned her money for her daily expenses herself. But if she says it as if it is all her parents money then Kong Xianwang will pretend to think that as well.

"I was right. You are a spoiled child." He said as he ate a piece of egg.

"I may be a spoiled child. But what about you? You are a stupid CEO."

"Stupid?" Kong Xianwang couldn't get what she was referring to.

"Yes... A stupid CEO who doesn't have a screenlock on his phone."
