Chapter 44 - Come with me

"I didn't ask sister Amanda where you are going, " Zuni replied. "Which country are you visiting?"

"We will be travelling to more than 5 countries, " answered Song Jingren, stroking her hair. "Korea is our first stop. We will be signing a deal with a company in Korea."

"Korea is a beautiful country, " Zuni said with a smile. "Don't forget to enjoy the tourist spots when you go there. Don't just work. Focus on travelling after finishing work."

"Yes, madam, " Song Jingren nodded. When she came out of the washroom in a robe, she raided the closet to find an office dress while was lying on the bed, his head placed against the bedpost. He asked, "What are you looking for in my side of the closet?"

Zuni smiled in embarrassment. "It's cold and your socks are more pretty and cool. Can I take one pair of socks?"

"Sure, " Song Jingren agreed. "You can borrow for a day."

"Not borrow but take, " Zuni corrected him. Little did he know that it would be the day she would freely get access to his wardrobe. "Your belt collection is better than mine. Hubby, I'm taking this one too."

"Zuni, are you lacking clothes again?" Song Jingren asked. "Yesterday, you ordered a variety of clothes from my account."

"You said I'm allowed to do a little shopping as long as I don't leave the bed, " Zuni pouted. 

"Little shopping?" Song Jingren gaped at him. She put a dent in his bank balance and she still was saying it was little shopping. 

"Hubby-Chan, " Zuni scooted near him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "Don't be mad at wifey. I will massage your legs once you return from the office. Let's go to the office. We will work hard for our future. Fighting!"

Song Jingren's lips twitched. He kissed her forehead. Remember, kiss with no strings attached? 

"I'm going to Korea in the evening. How will you massage my legs?" Song Jingren raised his brow? 

"I will massage your legs when you return, " Zuni replied. 

"It may take me a month or so, " Song Jingren informed. 

Her face fell when he realized how long he would be out of the home. How was she supposed to live alone in this big house? She felt restless. Should she go to live with her Zhixin bro? Lei bro got into a relationship. It's not advisable to disturb him again and again.  

However,  she didn't want to live alone here. For some reason, she was having this weird feeling that she couldn't give a name to. She was sad but she didn't know why she was feeling this way. And now that he told her that he would be gone for more than a month, she began missing him. 

"Come with me, " Song Jingren whispered in her ear. He avoided looking at her face because he was scared that she was going to say no. 

"Where?" Zuni asked. 

"To the business trip with me, " Song Jingren answered. 

"As a company's polyglot?" Zuni blinked her eyes. 

Song Jingren paused for a moment and then nodded his head. As long as she came with her, it was fine. It shouldn't matter if she was coming as his wife or an employee.

"Okay, " Zuni agreed. Living here alone felt sad to her. She didn't want to be away from her. He kept her sane and happy. After this exchange, she happily went to change while he left the bed to take a bath. 

Song Jingren was looking in the mirror. The devil was sitting on his left shoulder wearing a black suit while the angel was sitting on his right shoulder wearing a suit. 

"He is falling into his trap again, " The devil snorted. 

"What he is doing is called being nice, " The Angel said with an eye roll. "Of course, a devil like you will not understand it."

"You whitey, shut up! He took her to the doctor and now she is fine. Why does he have to take her with him on a business trip?" The devil asked angrily. 

"He is just making sure that she is alright, " The angel retorted. "What if she fell ill again? Who would take care of her? What he is doing is solely for his health, nothing else!"

"If it helps him sleep at night, " The devil snorted. "Oh, how will he sleep? He has been taking care of his evil wife all day."

"Don't call my Ai evil, " The angel began getting angry. "She is my Ai. My love."

"She is a vixen who trapped him in his beauty trap, "The devil argued. 

"Both of you shut up!!!" Song Jingren shouted. "I don't need your help. I can manage my life just fine."

"Yes, that's why he kissed her, " The devil snorted before disappearing. "Don't come crying to me if she broke your heart."

"Remember, kissing with no strings attached, " The angel reminded him.  "Don't forget to kiss on your honeymoon."

Then, the angel disappeared with a puff. 

"Wait? Honeymoon? Zuni and I are going on Honeymoon?" Song Jingren shouted at the wicked angel. Why did he not get the memo that he was going on his honeymoon?

Little did he know the angel had sneakily put the idea of a honeymoon in his mind. All he could think was doing and undoing Long Reine!

"Hubby! I ordered food. Come soon, " Zuni yelle from the outside. 

When he saw her setting up the breakfast table, she said, "I ordered food from your restaurants. The one in the green bag is mine and the one in the red bag is yours and it contains meat. Since I can't cook for you, I thought it would be better to order a healthy breakfast. So, we can have a meal together."

"Will you be alright with sharing the table with me?" Song Jingren said. 

"We need to learn to co-exist with each other, " Zuni replied. "I have to learn to create the stench of meat or it will be very difficult for me in the future. What if someone used meat to kill me? After all, I have more enemies than friends. Sometimes, I wonder how can someone hate me?"

Song Jingren rolled his eyes and took the seat at the far end of the table. 

"That contains egg, " Song Jingren reminded her. 

"I know, " Zuni said as she took a bite. "My dad says the egg is not a non-veg food."

As always Song Jingren was rendered speechless by her logic. As long as her devilish green eyes shine brightly, he was good.
