"Not yet."
Jiang Xu sighed. Just how many tis should he repeat it for this little brat to get it through his head?
It was still in the middle of the afternoon!
"Sleepover." The babyish voice on the other side of the phone turned chilling.
"Not yet."
CEO Jiang must have ant that it's still afternoon so Young Master can't go to this 'sleepover' yet, thought Assistant Ying, trying to interpret their exchange.
She knew CEO Jiang didn't speak much, but she didn't expect that Young Master Wuji was a reserved person too.
When she picked up the company phone after CEO Jiang stopped responding to his private calls, the voice on the other side had nearly made her skin crawl. Assistant Ying couldn't believe that Young Master Wuji was only four. His voice and aura had far surpassed most wanted criminals in the nation.
There were even so rumors that when the two Young Masters were born, only Young Master Shang was crying.
He imdiately stopped when Young Master Wuji gave him the evil eye.
There were only horror stories on how Young Master Wuji must have treated Young Master Shang inside their mother's womb, which led to the latter's terrible fright of his twin brother. Even while they were growing up, Young Master Wuji used various torture thods, like mixing mustard with baby food, to completely enslave Young Master Shang.
Assistant Ying secretly lit an incense stick in her heart for poor Young Master Shang.
"Don't you know that you're only going to bother her if you go to the apartnt now?"
It was clear how frustrated Jiang Xu was by the fact that he spoke more than ten words at once. Ten words was his normal limit.
"..." On the other side of the phone, Little Wuji had beco quiet as he contemplated what his brother said.
Feeling a hint of victory, Jiang Xu pushed on.
"Wifey will feel sad."
After another quiet pause, to Jiang Xu's relief, the phone finally clicked off.
Whew.
Success!
A lazy smile spreading across his face, Jiang Xu tossed the phone back to Assistant Ying and made a shoo-ing motion for her to get out of his office.
He could finally get back to sleep.
Assistant Ying clutched the phone in her hand and quietly closed the door on her way out. Looking up at the plaque displaying the word 'CEO', she had a gloomy expression on her face.
She knew CEO Jiang didn't have a wife.
So who was the girl he just called as 'Wifey'?
...
Back inside the office, Jiang Xu didn't imdiately go back to sleep like he thought he would.
Instead, after he closed his eyes, his mind conjured up the image of a girl with long black hair and captivating eyes.
From the first mont that he saw her, Jiang Xu had imdiately thought that Hui Yin was interesting. He usually didn't pay any attention to girls, except when they personally harassed him. This frequently happened during their years at the university, which irritated him to no end.
When asked for his opinion, Jiang Xu would rather marry his pillow than a girl who would interrupt his sleep to confess her love to him.
Hui Yin was Jiang Xu's seatmate. Not only did she not disturb him, she had the sa problem as he had.
Nurous boys would usually hang around her seat, throwing subtle hints about wanting her to beco their girlfriend.
One day, while Jiang Xu was staring out of the window absently, he heard her say to a hopeful suitor that she could probably not date him because she was harboring an unrequited love with her seatmate.
He turned around in surprise only to see her secretly wink at him.
Jiang Xu was not even aware that he was paying attention to their conversation. He liked her voice: soft, feminine, and gentle. It sounded like a lullaby, and although Jiang Xu felt sleepy when he listened to her, he also didn't want to sleep because he wanted to keep listening to her voice.
Before he knew it, ever since she beca his seatmate, Jiang Xu found himself sleeping less and less because he wanted to cherish the monts that she was sitting by his side.
