She furrowed her eyebrows and watched his gorgeous face as he slept . With an involuntary sigh, she bent down to remove his shoes and socks .
She grabbed both his legs and pushed him back on the bed, which required much effort .
Yan Rusheng lifted the blanket after she left . He was quite pleased when he saw that she'd removed his shoes and socks .
Guess she doesn't hate me that much .
. . .
Yan Rusheng glanced at his empty cup and dialed Xuxu's extension number . "Wen Xuxu . "
It was his assistant, Qiao Jian, who picked up . "President, the madam left the office after lunch . She said that she won't be coming back today . "

Yan Rusheng frowned at his reply and asked irritably, "Who did she ask permission from?"
But he hung up snappily before Qiao Jian could reply . Immediately, he dialed Xuxu's number .
The call went through, but it rang for some time before Xuxu answered, "Hello, President Yan . "
Yan Rusheng heard her addressing him formally, and it made him even grouchier . "Where did you go?"
Xuxu replied calmly, "I have something going on in the afternoon, so I'm taking the rest of the day off . "
"You—" Yan Rusheng stopped himself before he could lecture her . He paused and pondered for a few seconds before softening his tone . "Come home early tonight . "
Madam Mu Li seemed to find out from a source that they weren't speaking to each other . She called early in the morning to give him a good dressing-down .

Her advice included, 'Women are made of water, so a man has to be gentle because all women like men who are gentle . '
But he disagreed with the saying since Wen Xuxu didn't seem to be made of water . But indeed, she did like effeminate men like . . . Jiang Zhuoheng .
And so, he decided to give it a try .
Unsurprisingly, Xuxu was startled to by his gentleness . It took a while to collect herself before she responded, "Okay . "
Yan Rusheng hung up and was about to get some water for himself when his phone rang .
Lu Yinan was on the other line .
Why's that quack looking for me at this time of day?
He picked up the phone, but before he could utter a word, Lu Yinan began to splutter eagerly, "Third Yan, when did your wife start doing charity work?"
Charity work?
Yan Rusheng frowned without comprehending his question . "What charity work?"
"Oh dear, looks like you're clueless about this . " Young Master Lu sounded excited and continued, "There's a charity auction at Central South Plaza today . Your wife seems to be auctioning off her jade bangle and jade pendant to raise funds for Tiny Stars Orphanage . Yishan is the organizer for today's auction, and she called to inform me when she saw the auction's name list . "
Jade bangle and jade pendant . . .
Yan Rusheng recalled that his grandmother had indeed gifted Xuxu a bangle and pendant . No wonder she was looking for them a few days ago .
Damn it, how dare she auction off Grandmother's stuff?! That stupid woman is too heartless!
If she needs a donation, she could have come directly to him . If she really needed to auction something off, she shouldn't have chosen those two items . How much value could the items be worth?
For that paltry sum of money; it would be a disgrace if people found out .
Argh, that stupid woman keeps making me worry!
Young Master Yan decided to put his work aside as he rushed to Central South Plaza for the auction .
There was a huge turnout at the event, and Yan Rusheng recognized many familiar faces . They were all Flourish & Prosper's partners and clients .
He spotted Wen Xuxu in the crowd as she sat in the front row . She was looking intently at the stage, and he gritted his teeth when he saw her . He felt a strong urge to drag her away with everyone watching .
But . . . he decided to find a more secluded corner to observe instead .
