Chapter 12 - A gift

As her eyes spring open, she could see she was alone in the bedroom. Remembering they had arrived in Bejing at night and Lu Cong made her sleep before he went to study room, probably he was still in there.

Shaking her head in disapproval, she climbed out of bed as she made her way towards study room. Slightly opening the door, she saw Lu Cong sleeping, his head peacefully on his folded hands, sighing she went inside.

Rubbing his back, he groggily sat up. Smiling at his grogginess she pulled him up, leading the way to the bedroom as she made him sleep, his head on her lap as he slept peacefully.

Making sure that he was deeply sleeping, she slipped from the bed and went in the bathroom to get fresh.

Changing into white shirt and formal black colour pants with white flats and Gucci's white purse, she made her way downwards to the kitchen. Having some toast with coffee she gave instructions to maids and left for the office.

When she reached her, she saw her newly appointed assistant waiting for her. Introducing herself as Wu Biyu.

She gave the files to Zhao Ling. Sitting in her chair back in her office felt like a treat. Smiling to herself she started working.

It was afternoon break and Zhao Ling was drafting when she received Lu Cong's call, picking it up she heard his bored and heavy voice.

" First you made me sleep and then you leave me alone."

"Mr Lu I don't own this office, so I have to work my ass off."

Slightly smiling he replied her cockily.

"Fine, I'll come to pick you up."

"Are you being compassionate towards me?"

Grinning like a adolescent boy, Lu Cong replied.

"No, I want to gift you something as a wedding gift."

Smile dancing on her lips she said her byes to Lu Cong.

Almost in the evening, her assistant Wu Biyu came in telling her that her clients were coming to meet her tomorrow.

Nodding she told assistant Wu to set appointments with the clients allowing her to leave.

Sitting alone in the office, she was waiting for Lu Cong's call when Chen Bihua walked in.

It was her and Li Bo's firm. Smiling at Zhao Ling she sat in her chair opposite of Zhao Ling, as she said.

"Ms Zhao, it's nice to meet you again."

"Yes, its good to see you again."

Smiling both the woman tried their best to maintain their smile, they were not friends and neither was fond of other but they worked in the same company and held same interests.

"So how was your first day?"

"It was good, but definitely you are not here to ask me about my day... what's up?"

"You are right.....I want to talk to you about something, but it's your first day so why don't we talk about it tomorrow."

"I have appointments, and meetings....I think it's best if we meet up somewhere rather than here."

Thinking about it for a moment, Chen Bihua nodded, shaking Zhao Ling's hand she left her office.

Recieving Lu Cong's call, she went to the parking lot where a Audi R8 was parked and in front of her was Lu Cong, standing his arms folded waiting for her arrival. Smiling she went towards him as he opened his arms and she crashed into him, caressing her hair he whispered.

"This is for you."

Looking up at him in a confused expression, she thought for a moment and reality dawned on her as she asked him.

"Is this Audi R8 for me?"

Grinning he nodded as he touched her forehead to see if she had fever or not, but Zhao Ling was not happy as she refused blankly.

"I can't take this."

Frowning he asked her furiously.

"Now, this is a gift and I hope you don't hurt my sentiments."

Opening her mouth she wanted to argue but one look from Lu Cong told her that he was not in the mood of fighting, sighing she took the car keys from him and sat in the driver's seat, amused by her change in behaviour, he sat in passengers seat as she slowly ease the car backwards and then with a steady speed she turned right, getting out from the parking lot. Glancing at the rearview mirror and feeling a little adventurous, Zhao Ling shooted the car forward as she stepped on the gas. Making them collide with their seats backwards, stunned for a minute, lu Cong opened his mouth to complain when Zhao Ling once again dropped the gear, shooting them forward going in a seventy five per hour speed. Lu Cong glued in his seat was just staring at his wife who in this spead was dodging cars and lurching forward very smoothly, as they came to a bridge Zhao Ling once again steped on the gas as they sped ninety-five per hour speed.

Laughing loudly Zhao Ling was enjoying herself and Lu Cong had his eyes closed just praying silently.

When they reached their villa, Zhao Ling was happy and smiling and Lu Cong was just sitting in the car saying nothing.

Turning to her husband Zhao Ling asked him.

'How was the ride."

Still looking at her, his lips turned upwards as he answered her.

"You are mad, brave and a very good driver."

Laughing one more time she pulled him closer as their lips met, Giving him a current in his entire body, Lu Cong lifted Zhao Ling, and placed her on his lap as he aggressively kissed her. For her this was the best thing after the ride.
