"Were you enchanted?" Xie Jingyu asked with a smile as he saw the dazed expression on Yu Huiyin's face.
But she had already gotten her senses back when she heard him, and a snicker appeared on her lips. "I was amazed by how thick your skin is," she grinned and shook her head.
"I say Madam, one needs thick skin when chasing after their love."
Yu Huiyin blushed and looked away. He might not be embarrassed when saying words like those, but she was shy!
Shaking her head, she began looking over the papers flustered. She could not make heads or tails of what she was reading, but she just wanted to escape Xie Jingyu's burning gaze.
Xie Jingyu sighed. His wife was truly too shy. Although she had counterattacked last night in the shower, ultimately, she could not stand flirting too much yet, and he was not going to push her before she was ready.
"I got a meeting, I'll come back soon," he said as he left the office and began walking towards the meeting room together with Assistant Song.
Yu Huiyin finally took a deep breath and relaxed. The papers were much easier to deal with now that he was gone, and she focused entirely on her task.
When it was noon, Assistant Song appeared in the office. "Madam, you can go for lunch first. It seems that the meeting is going to take quite some time, so CEO Xie can't return for now."
"Okay, thank you, it's been hard on you," Yu Huiyin said with a nod of her head and left the office.
Everywhere she now walked, everyone was referring to her as 'Madam,' and they were all extremely polite. Clearly, the display of Assistant Song this morning had made all of them understand her status.
Yu Huiyin left the office, feeling that everyone was observing her every move. She had initially planned on going to the office cafeteria, but after sensing how all of them were staring at her, she felt it was not the best idea.
Leaving the office, she went to a nearby restaurant that seemed decently priced, and it was not very busy.
Here, Yu Huiyin ordered a few dishes and a drink. She was looking out the window watching the bustling life on the street and was deep in thought.
Her life had truly changed after she married Xie Jingyu. She was not sure if their relationship would last, but for now, she felt extremely content and happy with what she had.
Yu Huiyin sighed. Soon,the dishes arrived at her table. She began eating them slowly. Although they were decently priced, they tasted very good, but she could not understand why such a place was almost empty.
Looking around, she found that the waiter was staring at her with squinted eyes, even the manager was observing her every move, and she started to feel weird.
At that moment in time, another figure walked in through the doors, and naturally, Yu Huiyin's eyes were drawn to the figure.
It was an attractive man, but while Xie Jingyu was attractive in a mature and steady manner, this man was seductive and alluring. He was oozing with a bad-boy aura, and Yu Huiyin instantly knew that he was not someone to mess with.
The man looked around the empty restaurant, and his eyes landed on Yu Huiyin who, once more, had lowered her head and was focused on eating, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Wasn't this the woman that he had asked his men to investigate? This was Xie Jingyu's wife?
Why had she gone to his restaurant on his own, did she have some purpose?
He narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and walked to Yu Huiyin's table, where he sat down opposite her.
Looking up, Yu Huiyin narrowed her eyes when she saw the alluring peach-shaped eyes and the mesmerizing smile on his lips.
"Can I help you?" she asked confusedly, her expression quite adorable, and not at all fake.
"Why are you here?" the man asked, making Yu Huiyin frown. She looked at the meal in front of her and then cocked her head slightly.
"This is a restaurant. It's decently priced, and the food is tasty. It has a good location, and I can sit and watch the streets, hence I felt it was suitable for me to eat my lunch here."
Her voice was full of confidence and confusion. Why was this person so weird? She did not know him, did she?
"You might want to leave," the man said, but Yu Huiyin looked at him puzzledly. "I will leave when I have finished eating, of course," she said naturally.
However, before she had the time to finish eating, ten men in big, black suits entered the restaurant.
Yu Huiyin's pupils constricted when she saw that the men were holding guns in their hands.
Without waiting for them to look around, she pulled the alluring man's arm, dragged him to her side, and flipped the table.
As soon as she acted, the sound of gunshots could be heard, and many of the bullets left dents in the table that was made from heavy metal.
The gunshots came harder and harder. Clearly, the men were etching closer to them, but the man by her side was just looking at Yu Huiyin with surprise and excitement. What would she do next?
Seeing that he had no intention of moving, she gritted her teeth and looked at him.
"Give me your gun if you have no intention of dealing with them yourself!" she growled at him, and surprisingly enough, the man handed his gun over to her without a second of delay.
Was he a lunatic?!
