It was 11.00 pm when Ju xi saw the evidence a broad smile spread on her beautiful face.
meanwhile, in song's ancestral house, everyone would stay at the ancestral house today and tomorrow so they can stay a little late but it happens only on Yi's birthday and everyone would be going to work only in the afternoon as most of their works were completed earlier for this week as they were prepared for Yi's birthday already a week before ...
Song Yi was opening her gifts with excitement yeah of course only five of the gifts among millions
first, her husband's, It was a key of their new penthouse in south Korea, but her face darkened as she remembered something, why a big house for two people was on her mind Jun or Shen, won't come there always this was on her mind but she didn't voice it out as she was scared of spoiling others mood.
Jun already returned to the mansion after a date with Bing and Shen was drowned in his phone, guests were already gone.
so it was a gift-opening ceremony after the family of four had their, dinner
Then it was Jun's gift it was a gold watch, which he bought a week ago, Jun it looks good just like your handsome face Yi said for which she got a proud smile from Jun,
Then Bing's gift as her's was next to Jun's gift which was wrapped in the same wrapper as his, it was a perfect gift from a couple, she opened it Song Yi saw a palm-sized, golden dragon's idol which symbolizes wealth, prosperity and health, how considerate said Yi with a brilliant smile as her heart moved to see the gift.
Mo Cheng saw his wife getting emotional as he remembered that fateful day of the past, while Jun was busy unwrapping the other presents which were ignored by Yi its not he's going to take them for himself, well even if he did Yi won't ask him either but he was just curious, yeah curious, curious to find the bubble wrap ! he likes to kill those baby bubbles while they shout a pat before dying [1] this why no take him to be serious and want him to act like a grown-up man than being stupidly childish this was also the reason he often gets compared with Shen who is responsible of course Jun can't blame others because Shen was the role for every young generation in the family and Shen was going through certain documents which secretary Zhang Yan sent earlier so no one other than Cheng noticed Yi getting emotional so he tried to change her mood before the guys could notice.
Ayia how rude you don't even appreciate me and compliment my lovely gift, but you complimented this little brat's gift as if he just realized that his wife didn't compliment him but complimented Jun and also called him handsome the sulking Mo Cheng pointed his forefinger at the innocent Jun who is busting the bubbles childishly who was dumbfounded by the sudden accusation thrown at him ....?as he blinked his eyes several times even before he could understand the situation he heard another harsh word from his uncle
And what about you calling this rat handsome while I am still in front of you looking like eye candy?
''....'' rat ? in which angle am I looking like a rat, Junkai wanted to cry.
Cheng can't you act more mature see Jun is getting spoiled only because of you if you talk like a child then why won't he act like a child busting bubble wraps yet you always complain him, said Yi looking at her sulking husband,
Jun who was again dragged into the conversation didn't know if his aunt was supporting him or rating him to his uncle while felt chills as his uncle was throwing daggers at him, but still, you only support this little monkey said the sulking Mo Cheng
oh, so it seems that aunt supports me, but what's up with this new name little monkey, seriously? it wasn't even a minute past his uncle calling him rat again now he came up with a new nickname monkey! it would be nice if those animals didn't file a suit on him for using their names, he sighed tiredly
Mo Cheng of course Jun is looking handsome don't call him with those names as he heard these words from Yi all his tiredness vanished into thin air, he smiled at her and then went back focusing his full attention on busting the bubble while Yi kept talking to her husband saying nowadays your acting even more like a childish.
sulking Mo Cheng: but >...<
Song Yi: of course I love your gift, Cheng said Yi with a beautiful smile which would still make Mo Cheng's heart skip a beat' however as he expected fortuitously her gloomy face vanished now as if it never existed moments ago.
fine, let's see what Shen had bought for me said, Yi.
by the time Shen had already finished his work so he distractedly lifted his gaze towards his aunt while Jun eagerly looked up even though he knew what was inside, he just wanted to see the reaction on Yi's face after all he knew whose gift was the next one which follows Shen's.
As Yi opened the package she was welcomed by a rose gold bracelet which was accompanied by a similar finger ring even Shen didn't know such a thing existed it was only while packing the sale's lady said that the designer made this ring along with the bracelet and the ring comes along with when one buys the bracelet, it sounded as if it was free but Shen being a businessman knew it well that the ring's cost is already included in the bracelet still he didn't care about it and asked Jun to get the package as he went in searching of the certain someone who vanished into thin air so he didn't see how it looked, only Jun had seen it, the bracelet had a floral design with ruby petals, diamond pollen, and emerald leaves and climbers with the perfect rose gold background, the ring had a flower with climbers on each side, and four leaves two on each side wow it's very nice said Yi with smiling eyes, for which she got a slight smile from Shen,
Last but not least Ju xi's gift ...
So, who's was it now asked Cheng, didn't you see my friend's daughter said, Yi.
Oh, that angry kitten said Cheng for which he got a glare from his wife.
As she unwrapped the package she was surprised to see the neck and ear Jewelry set which had a similar design as Shen's present.
See, Cheng I think they would be an amazing couple, even their taste seems to be alike said Yi for which she got a helpless smile from Cheng.
Even if the taste matches we would never be a couple said Shen harshly as he walked away, even Jun was shocked by this reaction it was only hours before he seemed to like the girl but what happened to his cousin now, maybe he was wrong he thought to himself but everyone realized Shen's tone was less harsh but they thought it was because of Yi's birthday but the real reason was the girl already did her magic on him that too without even showing her face, Yi shook her head sideways, while Jun sighed and Mo Cheng placed his hand on Yi's shoulder comforting her .....
While on the balcony Shen exhaled as he realized he didn't ask the girl, even though he was interested in her he would never accept it not even to himself, I don't want another heartbreak he thought to himself.
Next day morning at Ju internationals 8.30 am...
Workers have already come, everyone one was doing their job in silence likewise one and half hours passed.
sharply at 10.00 Am ...
JU XI came from her chamber and went near one of the workers who was an assistant team leader Li Wang.
confess commanded xi .....
Li Wang looked confused,
Do you want me to explain in detail ? asked xi
Meanwhile, Xin Yan came from behind!
You mole! you bloody culprit! you still wish to act clueless being caught red-handed you culprit I'll kill you, shouted xi's little assistant Bao Zhai, xi could only shake her head seeing the impatient bubbly assistant she felt like keeping a kinder garden kid as her assistant.
Suddenly Bao Zhai jumped on Li Wang pulling his hair saying how dare you to cheat our company and our boss she was pulled back Xin Yan.
Yan, Ge doesn't stop me I going kill this bastard
Xin Yan: do you wanna get on headlines.
I don't mind said Zhai.
you want others to talk about our company saying the assistant of Ju internationals bet a staff asked Xin Yan
Bao Zhai only calmed down then, she doesn't want anyone to question her company or her boss
but ... sulking Zhai wanted to say something but kept it to herself
Suddenly a slim hand landed on Zhai's head, it is her boss's hand, behave said xi then Zhai went completely silent like a living doll.
Xin Yan, called xi he gave her a phone which showed the video of Li Wang stealing the blueprint when everyone went out for lunch and placed another blueprint instead of that which was just like the stolen one but on closer look, one could say it's different the new one was full of mistakes which would cause the company to lose a heavy amount of money.
Li Wang who stood rooted on the floor started showing complicated reactions as his face paled and sweat started dripping from his body
I ....I.... his words start stuttering.
Of course, she had already planted a mole on the other company when she saw Li Wang talking to the secretary of the other company on the coffee shop near Ju internationals a couple of times how naive they didn't even search for some secluded place so she planted a hidden camera to li Wang's table when no one was around and linked it to the security department.
You should keep your mouth mum if you want to live and give this to the company u sold our blueprint said xi dangerously as she handed him another project, if you plan on revealing something don't expect me to be mercifully said xi and you should come to the company un till next week, as usual, she went back after giving that valuable advice to Wang.
Don't worry your family is enjoying in your house they didn't know anything or else said Xin Yan with a dangerous smirk.
Everyone went back to their work still confused about their boss's decision.
