Chapter 1005: Did She Not Want to Spend New Year's Eve With Him That Much?
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Chi Xia came back from the weighing machine and asked Su Chen, ââWhat else do you want to eat?â
Su Chen glanced at Chi Xia and pointed at the potatoes beside him. Chi Xia then lowered her head and picked up two potatoes.
Su Chen asked, â Why did you only buy two? â
âItâs almost the New Year. You have to go home. Itâll be a waste if you canât finish all the food you bought.â Chi Xia said casually.
âHow did you know I was going home for the New Year?â
Su Chenâs words stunned Chi Xia. She looked up at him. â Are you going to spend the New Year here? Arenât you going home to celebrate the new year with your family?â
Then, Chi Xia remembered that Su Chen and his mother were not on good terms.
But even if they werenât, they couldnât not be together during the New Year.
Chi Xia could already guess the result when she saw Su Chenâs pale face.
He didnât even spend the holidays with his family, so he must be alone during the New Year.
Sometimes, she felt that this man was only glamorous on the surface and did not even have the most basic kinship.
Chi Xia was looking down at the dishes when she heard the man beside her say, ââWhen are you coming home?â
Chi Xia had wanted to tell Su Chen about this, but since he had mentioned it, she said directly, ââYoung Master Su, the school is on holiday. When will you give me a holiday?â My mom keeps calling me to rush me back to buy New Yearâs goods with her. â
Hearing this, Su Chenâs eyes darkened and he said coldly, ââYou can go back now.â
Such a straightforward answer stunned Chi Xia. A hint of joy flashed across her eyes. Before she could savor it, she heard the manâs voice again, ââ Five thousand a day. You can take a few days off and deduct a few days âworth of money. â
Chi Xia was speechless.
5,000 a day! How could he be such a scammer!
One week of leave was equivalent to a monthâs salary?
Chi Xia frowned. â Young Master Su, do you mean that you wonât give me a break for the New Year? You want me to spend the new year with you?â
âIf you want, I donât mind.â Su Chen said.
âOf course not!â Chi Xia replied subconsciously. After that, she noticed that Su Chenâs expression had changed. It was obvious that he was annoyed by her direct rejection.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. Did this woman really not want to be with him?
She couldnât wait to leave him as soon as possible!
Su Chen pursed his lips and remained silent. Chi Xia smiled and said, ââ Young Master Su, you have to spend the New Year with your family. If I donât go home, my parents will break my legs. â Actually, there was no need to explain to him at all. However, it was already very pitiful that he did not have any relatives to accompany him during the new year. If he was despised by her again, his self-esteem would be severely damaged. It was better to give him some face.
Chi Xiaâs words eased Su Chenâs expression. He said calmly, ââYour school has two months of annual leave. Youâve taken a yearâs salary from me, and you want me to give you leave according to your schoolâs holiday? Youâre working for me as a nanny, so you have to rest according to your normal working days. So, from the 30th of December to the 7th of the first month, Iâll give you a week off.â
Su Chenâs words made Chi Xiaâs mood plummet.
Was there a mistake? She was still a student. She didnât want to go home during the holidays and had to wait until the 30th of December?
As expected, this manâs money was really not that easy to earn!
Chi Xiaâs little face was wrinkled as she said in a gentle tone, ââYoung Master Su, you really donât have much leave this time. Can you give me a few more days? I really have to go back early for the new year. Why donât I go back early and come back a few days earlier after the new year?â
She could only use this kind of delaying tactic. After she got home, she would not care if his words were useful or not.
