Chapter 9 - "Eat some Congee"

Seeing Yu Huiyin be so upset with him, Xie Jingyu could not help but touch his nose embarrassedly. He had indeed tricked her, and he had gone slightly over the top with this.

But usually, he disliked women being close to him, however this one he was curious about, and she was able to make his emotions go on a rollercoaster ride from merely frowning, smiling, or thinking.

To get what he wanted, Xie Jingyu was used to doing anything in his power, not caring if he needed to use underhanded means.

This woman was indeed someone he wanted. From he had seen her first time lying on the ground in a pool of blood, even until now where she was ignoring him, he could not help but feel that she was special.

Since she was unique to him, he had to capture her heart. The best way was to make her stay by his side, and he could think of no other ways than to marry her.

Usually, he would have been against marriage, his grandfather had done all in his power to convince him to get married, but to no avail, however, now he had taken the initiative. He was even feeling excited and eager to marry her.

Yu Huiyin could feel that this Xie Jingyu kept staring at her, his eyes were like a blazing flame against her back, and she trembled slightly.

The sun began brightening up the sky outside; the long and exhausting night was coming to an end.

This night was nothing like what Yu Huiyin had initially planned. She had wanted to go home after work and sleep. Now she was engaged to a tycoon of unknown background.

At least her family had been informed that she was okay, and they could rest without worrying for her, but Yu Huiyin could not help but worry about her own situation.

Frowning, she felt exhaustion wash over her, and she slowly succ.u.mbed to the darkness, her eyelids so heavy that she could not keep them open.

Although Yu Huiyin had her back facing Xie Jingyu, he had been aware of her actions. When he heard her steady breathing, he knew that she was asleep.

She had not slept much that night, and she needed a lot of rest to get better, so sleeping was an excellent thing for her.

He rose to his feet and walked to her side, his hand reaching out and brushing aside a bit of hair that was cascading down, hiding her face in the shadows.

"We have a long time ahead of us," he muttered to himself as he felt her soft skin on his fingertips. It was smooth and comfortable; it was indeed an addictive feeling to touch her.

Retracting his hand and fighting the urge to pinch her cheeks, Xie Jingyu went out to make a phone call.

The one he called was his assistant. He called to ensure that when Yu Huiyin woke up, she would get a nutritious meal. Although the hospital provided food, it was not of the same quality as the high ranking restaurants.

Xie Jingyu was not sure why, but he had an urge to pamper and spoil Yu Huiyin. Ensure that she had anything she could possibly want and need. As long as she did not leave him, he would give her the world.

It was close to noon when Yu Huiyin woke up again. Her eyes were unfocused, and her mind dazed as she was not sure about where she was.

It was not before her eyes landed on the attractive man who was seated by her side that everything returned to her, and she sighed. Why, oh why, did she have to sign that contract. She was banging her head against a wall in her mind, blaming herself for signing something she had not read. In the future, she would be much more careful.

"Wifey, you haven't eaten for so long," Xie Jingyu said, his voice mellow and attractive, making Yu Huiyin forget her resentment towards him for a moment. "I had Assistant Song picking up some different dishes of congee for you from Jiyi Jiudian."

"Jiyi?" Yu Huiyin was puzzled as she c.o.c.ked her head. Anyway, her stomach was growling, so she was happy to get something to eat, especially since it was congee; that was something she could eat right now.

Jiyi Jiudian was known to be the most upscale restaurant within the entire capital. To eat there, one needed a membership card, and a meal could easily cost over a hundred thousand yuan!

Xie Jingyu saw that she was feeling better, and he felt relieved. If she was not rejecting the food he brought, did this mean that she had started to accept him?

However, this was wishful thinking made by Xie Jingyue. Yu Huiyin had not accepted him. She had just realized that there was no use in complaining as things would not change. Instead, she was going to do her best to convince him to have a divorce sooner rather than later.

While Yu Huiyin was busy hoping for an early divorce, Xie Jingyu was busy feeling excited about her being somewhat obedient now. Perhaps she was finally falling for him, if nothing else, perhaps his appearance?

The only one who was able to see things clearly was assistant Song. It was clear that their lady boss was brewing up schemes, while their CEO was busy dreaming unrealistic dreams.

Shaking his head and sighing internally, he could not help but clear his throat.

"Madam, please have a pick and see which congee you prefer."

After saying this, he found a lot of different congees, but in the end, Yu Huiyin picked congee with lean pork and century eggs.
