Spice Of Life Chapter 6

Chapter six

At seven in the morning, when Lin Xi was only half-awake, he heard someone calling him. He flipped over impatiently and buried his face into his blankets and muttered, "Stop bothering me, I'm super tired…"

Immediately the blankets on top of him were torn away. Burning with rage, he sat up, eyes still closed, and shouted, "Are you f.u.c.king deaf? Didn't hear me–"

Something flashed through his mind in the middle of his rant, and he immediately felt awake and scared enough that cold sweat was running down his back. After three seconds of dumb silence, he opened his eyes cautiously to see the man sitting next to his bed with an unreadable expression. Shuffling over on hands and feet, he kissed him and made a pitiful face, "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"

Duan Shen's gaze was cool.

Lin Xi pursed his lips unhappily, "I'm really tired…didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night…haven't slept with anyone since I was five…"

Rubbing his eyes, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. In the middle of brus.h.i.+ng, he suddenly turned around, confused, and asked through a mouthful of toothpaste, "…Why did you wake me so early?"

"I reminded you yesterday," Duan Shen said calmly.

"If you hadn't finished your apology by today, then you'd come into work with me."

Lin Xi: "…"

An hour later, Duan Shen reverse parked his car into his spot in the underground lot. Lin Xi came out from the pa.s.senger's seat and followed the man into the elevator, right up to the executive's office.

Su Heng came over to report his schedule, but hesitated when he saw Lin Xi. "Mr. Duan, your brother?"

Duan Shen's footsteps slowed as he skipped through the question entirely, "Set up a small table and chair in my office."

Standing behind the two, Lin Xi was looking at the clean-cut wedding ring on Duan Shen's left hand. He looked back at his own empty hand and hummed slightly, saying nothing.

Duan Shen had a meeting in the morning, and Lin Xi's brain was firing off with mischief. He still made an effort to look decent while he was sitting obediently in the office, adding on the remaining hundred or so words to his apology.

After the older man had departed with his a.s.sistant, Lin Xi flipped through the whole thing and proofread it twice before stacking it on top of the other man's office desk and swaggering out of the office. While walking, he pulled out his cellphone, "Hey there Mr. Lu, have time to come out for a gathering?"

Lu Lingxing's voice was lazy. "Who the h.e.l.l are you?"
