Chapter 129 - The one who moves first, wins

"Butler Min!" Lina came hopping down the staircase the nest morning, looking pretty as a picture and happy as a daisy. 

The butler turned in surprise. The couple had been at loggerheads last night. They had exploded at each other in front of everyone, and now the Madam was frolicking around the house like a sweet bundle of joy! 

The butler sighed quietly to himself. It definitely didn't get boring around the Moshi Mansion. 

Lina was dressed in a semi-formal white sleeveless jumpsuit that accentuated her petite figure and elegant legs. 

"Good morning Madam" the butler responded calmly, greeting her with a kind smile. 

"Please prepare breakfast for young master and me! He will be ready soon and come downstairs. We will eat together before we go to work." Lina instructed the butler, as her eyes twinkled. 

The butler nodded and was about to go off to the kitchen. 

"Oh, and butler Min, please prepare soft-boiled eggs for young master. He needs the protein!" she giggled quietly to herself as she hurried off. 

Butler Min there was left with a confused expression. But he went and followed her instructions nonetheless. 

Lina's mouth was upturned in a smile as she began preparing her doc.u.ments for work. After clearing their misunderstandings, Shen and her had decided she would go to work. 

On one condition. 

She was to visit his office for lunch everyday so he could see his wife and he could make sure she was okay. 

She turned as she heard her husband come down as well. He looked so handsome, Lina always felt like she was looking at him for the first time every time he made an entrance. 

He had just showered and washed his hair, and his strong, musky scent was exuding allure. He had his suit slung over one shoulder, his crip white shirt hugging his broad shoulders, sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular forearms. 

His slightly wet hair was swept back, giving him a clean, strong look. He was wearing his reading glasses, and he looked serious. But there was something about his seriousness that was extremely s.e.xy. 

Lina gawked at her husband shamelessly. Why should she control herself when he clearly had shown no restraint during their activities the previous night! 

As she ran over to hug him and he bent down to kiss her, the couple looked like they were posing for a photoshoot. 

"Just imagine how beautiful their little children would be! Don't they look heavenly especially when they're together?" housekeeper Tan whispered giddily to butler Min. 

Watching these two together was far better than watching all her romantic dramas at night. Why waste her precious money on channel subscription when her entire day around this couple was a massive dose of fluff and entertainment? 

Butler Min simply glared at the housekeeper, signalling her to keep her lecherous thoughts to herself. She immediately became silent as soon as the happy couple entered the dining room for breakfast. 

As they sat down at the table to eat, two eggs were placed in front of Shen. He didn't usually eat eggs, but Butler Min clarified the situation. 

"Madam said you would need the protein today, young master" he said solemnly. 

Shen's eyes widened in realization as Lina choked on her coffee, her face reddening. She didn't realize that the ignorant butler would actually go and provide her husband with that cheeky explanation she had given him. 

Butler Min failed to notice the looks exchanged between the couple.

Shen: 'So this is the mischief you've been up to this morning!'

Lina: 'Well it was you who was so vigorous multiple times last night! I'm only trying to...replenish your supply...'

Shen: 'My angel is too bold!' 

Nevertheless, he obediently ate the eggs. Truth be told, he would prove to her later in the evening just how much energy the eggs would give him for her. 

With such evil thoughts swirling in his head, Shen almost missed the phone ringing incessantly. 

"Yes?" He answered impatiently 

"Boss, you're late..." came the awkward reply from Ayu at the other end. There was an important meeting to prepare for since Moshi Corporation was pushing to acquire a smaller business that was playing hard to get. 

Shen looked at his watch. It was 10 am. He was so late. Usually he was working at home all night or at work before 9 am at least. Sometimes he was at the office at 6 am! 

But he glanced at his beautiful angel, enjoying her coffee and breakfast with so much enthusiasm, he didn't want to go into work at all! 

"I'm the boss, so I'm not late. Everyone else is just...too early" he said, almost sputtering at his own words. 

Lina looked at him and flashed him a pretty smile, and Shen hung up the phone, Ayu's mouth agape at the end of the line. 

Everyone else was too early, before 10 am?!?! 

Had Boss hit his head somewhere? Anyone entering the office post 9 am was fired on the spot! 

Lina quickly finished the remaining food on her plate and stood up promptly. 

"Okay, I'm off to work now!" She announces sweetly kissing her husband's cheek and scampering off. 

"I'm already late because of youuu" she yelled at him from the front door. 

Shen couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. It was him who was late, pushing back such important preparation just to watch her eat breakfast and she had just skipped off without a second thought and also blamed him for making her late?!? 

Butler Min looked confused and worried.

"Young master....Madam is going to work?" He asked awkwardly. That's what they had been fighting about for so long — how Lina wasn't allowed to go out and was to remain on the mansion grounds full time. 

Shen sighed, looking in the direction of where his wife had run off. His eyes were full off love and affection for her.

"Let her do what she wants. Let her roam as she pleases..." he said quietly.

After Shen walked out and drove away, housekeeper Tan went over to Butler Min again. 

"This must be what love is" 

Butler Min only raised his eyebrows. 

"Must be"
