After their breakfast, Shen Yi started working again on his study while his brother took time to settle and bring over his luggage on one of the available guest rooms . While Shen Yi didn't need to go to work every day there were still issues that needed his attention . Lu Xinyi understood his predicament but had set rules on his working hours .
Since their return from his business trip -slash- honeymoon, they both agreed that he will work nine to five from Mondays to Fridays which was his normal workday . Then every Saturday, nine to noon and he will have the afternoons off with Sunday as his day off . The only exceptions she let him have were the emergency meetings and conferences that he had to attend .
Shen Yi gave into her rules and understood her reasonings . Now that they have three months left until she goes to Silver Leaf, she wanted to spend most of the time with him . They may not have a child of their own but family is more important than work .
His lips curled into a smile when his eyes landed to a picture of him and Lu Xinyi on his desk . He wasn't a very sentimental person but when Xinyi put this picture frame on his study, Shen Yi found it so endearing .
Shen Yi stood up and stretched his arms to relax his stiff muscles from sitting so long . He walked around the desk and an envelope caught his eye . He'd received this report from Qiao He when he asked a background check on Lu Xinyi after they got married .
He knew already what was written on it but he had been putting it off . Lu Xinyi's connection with the Sun family was quite complicated than what he expected but for some reasons, he didn't give a fuck what his family or the Sun family will say about their union .
He went out of his study and the scent of the searing meat, and baked goods from their kitchen assaulted his senses . His nose twitched at the smell of herbs and vegetables . His mouth started to water from hunger . In truth, he was really hungry and couldn't wait what Lu Xinyi made for lunch .
If he wasn't physically active, he would think that his wife was trying to make him fat from all those delicious cooking she made every day .
As he stepped down on the living area, their two dogs came running towards him and whine . Something must have happened for these two traitors to seek for his help . He knelt down and scratches both of their chins .
"Mallows! Milktea!" Lu Xinyi yelled from the kitchen . She came to the living area only to find her fur babies trying to hide from her wrath and sat down on their haunches beside Shen Yi . She was fuming in rage at their dogs .
"Mallows! Milktea! Both of you come here!" She was angry . Shen Yi had only seen his wife truly angry and this was the first time he was seeing her mad to her precious fur babies . What had they done?
The two Akita dogs whine and cowered in fear but Shen Yi was fast enough to hold on their collars .
"Stay," he commanded while his wife came walking on their way .
Mallows and Milktea tucked their tails as their new mistress reprimanded them . Lu Xinyi held her favorite shoes that were already beyond recognition and smacked the dogs on their snouts . Mommy Xinyi was really angry .
"Bad dogs!" *smack* "Didn't I told you, you can't chew on my shoes?!"
Both dogs lowered their heads in shame . Lu Xinyi eyed them before turning to the nearest trash bin to throw her shoes .
"Damn it . Those were the last pair I bought with my own money," she mumbled to herself .
Shen Yi arched a brow when he heard what she'd said .
"Dear, you can buy a shoe store and not bother by those shoes anymore . What brand of those shoes? I'm going to call Qiao He to find the same design . " he said .
"Darling, you don't understand . " Lu Xinyi sighed . "It was special because I used my hard earned money and saved up just to buy that pair but I guess they really need to retire now . "
Shen Yi watched as his wife took steps upstairs .
"Can you check the one I left on the oven for a while? I forgot my phone upstairs . I'll be back soon . " she said .
Making his way through the kitchen, Shen Yi looked around and saw his younger brother already eating the first batch of baked goods that Lu Xinyi made earlier . Not yet lunchtime and Shen Xue had already stolen his food!
