"Thank me for what? For being stupid enough to cooperate with your plans?" Daisy's eyes dimmed a little. She did not know whether she had the right to complain about it, nor did she know what she was insisting on. It was such a complex feeling.
"Daisy, are you still mad at me? Alright. I'm sorry. Don't be angry anymore, please." Brian rested his head on Daisy's shoulder. He apologized to her in a sweet tone as he deliberately ignored Edward's dagger stare towards him. He was her brother so it was acceptable for them to be that close thus, Edward would have no right to get mad at him.
"Honey, let's go!" Well, it might have been impossible for Edward to show his disapproval but that did not mean that he couldn't tear them apart. He grabbed his wife by her arm and pulled her away possessively. Brian almost fell flat on the ground with what he did as the man lost his balance from leaning on Daisy.
"Where are we going? Your company? I don't want to go there. It's so boring." Daisy was a bit reluctant to show up in FX International Group so often. She hated how it made her feel that she was showing off. Although she was the wife of the company's CEO, she was not an employee of the company after all. She did not want herself to attract too much attention. It was better to stay low-profile. She felt uncomfortable when other employees talked about her.
"Daisy, please go shopping with me! I just came back a few days ago and I need to buy lots of things. I am alone and have no one to accompany me to shopping. Please join me," her brother begged. It seemed that Brian had to stay there for a long time and wouldn't leave until Leo Ouyang turned better. The old man was in a bad situation nowadays and Brian needed to take care and keep him company. Leo was his father after all.
"Are you going to stay here for a long time, Brian?" Delight shone on Daisy's face as she asked. Of course, she was glad to hear her brother's long-term stay. Brian was the type of person who could tell right from wrong. The environment overseas might be better but there was simply no place like home. As many said, a leaf would always return to its root.
"I'm not sure yet. You know, Dad is in a bad shape right now. I really don't have the heart to leave him and just go away. I think I'll stay here for some time and decide whether to go back to abroad or not later," sighed Brian. He could not just abandon his father. Plus, it would be a good chance for him to stay with his sister and spend some time with her for a while. He could always bother his vice president anyway to handle his company.
But what about your company? You have a company to take care of. Is it okay for you to be away for such a long time?" Daisy was a little bit worried about him. The idea that someone might trick him and make him lose his company while he was away scared her a bit. She knew that he had great expectations and was ambitious.
"It's okay. I trust them. I would not even blame them if something bad happens. If ever, I should be the one to blame for choosing the wrong people."
A slight smile cracked Brian's lips. He was confident about his perceptions. As a matter of fact, he did not value money that much. Life was too short. There were only a few decades to live no matter who they were. Why should he bother about everything so much? Life would just be full of annoyance and unhappiness if he chose to be that stubborn.
"It's good to know that you have such thoughts. Then let's go! What do you need? I can give you tons of useful advice. You know, I'm always serious." It was rare for Daisy to go shopping with her brother and she couldn't be happier to accept his invitation.
"Hey, you seem to have forgotten about me. Just to remind you, I'm still here." Edward looked at Daisy with gritted teeth. How dared this woman act so closely with another man right on his face? Worse, they even seemed to have totally forgotten about him. Someone needed to be reminded about respect!
Oh? So you're still here! I thought you've already left." Surprise was in Daisy's voice when she turned to look at Edward. She honestly thought that he had already gone. Who could have thought that he was still there in the first place? She furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at her husband and thought, 'What is he waiting for? Did she just forget something?'
"Yes! My brother-in-law, please go back to your company and get started on your business. We will be leaving in order not to disturb you." Brian chanted in an innocent tone as he held his laughter back.
Edward's mouth opened and closed a few times as he tried to think for a comeback. In the end, he was rendered completely speechless with what Brian just did. He shut his lips tight and gave the two a blood-freezing stare, then without any more word, turned away and marched out of that place with furious long strides as he thought, 'Darn Daisy! How'd you forget about my goodbye kiss!'
"What's wrong with him? Why is he so angry? I don't get it." Daisy was totally confused as she did not understand why Edward grew so mad all of the sudden. Oh heavens! Please forgive her slow brain. Mr. Mu was jealous and she did not realize it at all.
"Let him be. He must be thinking of something." Brian just shrugged his shoulders as he watched his brother-in-law. An amused smile was still on his face when he looked back at Daisy. "Let's go, Sister." On the other hand, Brian knew why Edward got so worked up about them. He was a man too thus he could see through his brother-in-law's action. Anyway, he was not worried for Edward to stay angry for a long time. Edward loved Daisy so much that he was confident that the CEO would not do his sister wrong.
