Chapter 44 - Taking bribes ~ (2)

Hearing Ling Xi’s words, Xu Yizhi unexpectedly had some fantasies.

Unaware of his thoughts, Ling Xi took off her shoes and lay on the side of the sofa. Seeing him still standing in place, she gently patted the space left for him. “Husband, sleep here.”

Xu Yizhi sighed softly. Ling Xi had no idea that she was more attractive to him than a poppy flower. The last time he had hugged her in bed, it had taken him a lot of effort to suppress his impulse.

He took two pillows, placed them under her head and lay down without.

Ling Xi immediately clung to the man’s waist like a magnet and rested her head on his arm. The man’s body stiffened again.

An faint fragrance once again jumped into his nostrils, making him restless.

It wasn’t long before he heard the sound of even breathing by his ear, the breath spraying into his ear upon exhalation. It felt as if a small hand was scratching at his heart, so itchy, but he had to endure. Had to.

This happiness had come so fast, he still hadn’t accepted it yet, was still affected by it.

An hour later, Secretary Yang knocked lightly on the door from outside.

Xu Yizhi who was gently looking at Ling Xi’s face was suddenly shocked, and with displeasure in his eyebrows, carefully pulled his arm from Ling Xi’s and walked out through the door.

“President Xu, the video conference in the United States is at three o’clock and they are already waiting for you.”

He lifted his wrist to look at the time. “Let them wait for ten minutes.”

“Okay, President Xu.”

Secretary Yang was secretly frightened. The President was always punctual to every meeting every time, but looking at his appearance just now, it seemed like … he wasn’t full?

Xu Yizhi went back to the sofa and saw that Ling Xi had woken up and was rubbing her sleepy eyes, her hair a little messy. “Hey, where did my shoes go?”

Seeing the high heels she had kicked aside, Xu Yizhi stooped to pick them up, walked to the edge of the sofa, and carefully put them on for her.

“Yizhi, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it first! It’s time for me to go to the show, too.” Ling Xi had not yet woken up, and her confused appearance made Xu Yizhi’s eyes warm. Ling Xi’s waking up appearance was really cute! Like a lazy kitten in the sun.

“Okay, wait for a while and I’ll let the driver send you off.”

… When Ling Xi came out of the elevator, it caused a small stir again. “I have never seen a woman who stay alone with the President for such a long time.”

“Do you think the President was in the think this is the only explanation that makes sense.”

“Be careful what you say. If it gets to the Vice President or the President, do you still want your job?”

The news that Ling Xi had joined ‘Yi Ling’ blew around like a tornado.

After hearing the news, Chi Jiayang and Ou Mengxue panicked.

“What are you talking about? Ling Xi has signed up with ‘Yi Ling’? How could it be so fast?”

It took about a month following the normal process.

Ou Mengxue was also worried. She had thought that when Ling Xi recovered her memory, she would return to ‘Star Charm’ and was assured that by that time she wouldn’t cancel the contract.

But now that things were out of her control, how could she not be anxious?

“Manager Chi, the media should have just released the news of the signing. I’ll call Ling Xi first.”

In the ‘Contact’ list she found ‘Ling Xi’ and dialed the number, putting it on hands-free mode.

“Hello, Ling Xi. Have you already signed up with ‘Yi Ling’?”

After a few beats of silence, “I didn’t expect the news to spread so fast. Although it’s not yet done, it’s almost the same.”
