Chapter 79 : Xiulan's Complaint

Xiulan felt her legs and arms were going to fall off after running away from Han Pierre's tea shop. She was carrying a lot of bags and running around with so much paper bags were definitely not in her "do it again" list.

She slumped on top of the soft sofa in the living room and rested for a little bit. She was really tired and she can feel her muscles slightly painful.

While she lays on the sofa, she can hear some whispering coming inside the kitchen. It looks like the head chef and Bai Rong are inside. She didn't hear Hongqi's voice yet so she assumed he's not yet home.

After resting for a few minutes, she stand up and took her paper bags inside the master's bedroom.

She changed her clothes to comfy house clothes before putting the paper bags inside her extended room. She doesn't want Hongqi to find these bags. He might nag at her again that she's not allowing him to dote on her.

Once she's finished transferring them, she suddenly received a message from her gynecologist reminding her to be on time tomorrow for her IUD schedule and what to prepare before the IUD implant.

She pulled out a sticky note from her bag that was placed on top of a small chair then she sat on the corner of her queen size bed. She started listing the things she should avoid and preparation before her implant. After jotting them all down, she stands up and went to find an ibuprofen in her medicine case. It was advised that she should take pain killers 30 minutes before she arrives in the clinic.

She attached the note on her planner with the rest of the things she need tomorrow and put it back inside her bag. She went outside to find Hongqi if he already arrived. 

The smell of butter and garlic coming from the kitchen was so enticing that she doesn't want to torture herself like this, so she had to come back inside the master's bedroom. The haughty husband always wanted to eat dinner together with her. She can't eat first and leave him behind.

She lay on top of the bed and checked her emails in her mobile phone. She was really lazy and tired today to even bother herself from reading Secretary Dandan's email and the other department's inquiries. Maybe, once she's finished having her IUD, her energy might come back.

Due to her sudden curiosity, she searched for Han Pierre and his Weibo account. She can't believe that annoying man is currently trending in top 10. His account also has a lot of followers. 

She clicked the articles that mentioned his 'comeback' to public and the uproar he caused around UU mall.

Her huge phone almost slip from her hands and hit her face when she saw her figure in one of the paparazzi pictures. 

"Han Pierre and Mrs. Xing were seen together in UU mall. Lovely date with a sister-in-law?" that was the photo's title. 

It was good that no one seems to mind this atrocious title since the comments were kind and no hate. Most are defending Xiulan and the others were fangirling over Pierre's fashion taste.

She checked more articles and there seems to be no hate messages against Han Pierre. Xiulan doubted that these are all his fans. She guessed that the comment section might be already sanitized by his PR team.

She looked back at Pierre's profile and background in a famous biography page of celebrities and famous people.

"The sole heir of Han Holdings and current COO (chief operations officer)."

Her eyebrows raised reading that he was a COO of Han Holdings. She didn't expect that he's affiliated with that 'Han' family. She now remembers that notorious family. Pretty much they lived their life lavishly.

Unlike regular rich families, the Han family are very notorious in spending millions or billions on unecessary stuff. Their wealth were also questioned by the mass and media before. Only a few knew about their connection to drugs, which was the source of their questionable wealth.

Now that Xiulan knew a little of his background, she definitely don't want to ever encounter him again. He treated her so rudely and he's also from that family of drug lords. She must stay away from him.

She was so engrossed in reading the articles about Han Pierre that she didn't notice Hongqi's presence. 

Hongqi had been standing there for five minutes now. He also took off his coat and tie while he surveys what his wife was doing. When he quietly peeked at her mobile phone, he was ticked off that she was checking Han Pierre's articles.

Add to his resentful mood, he found out an hour ago that Pierre invited Xiulan for some tea in Pierre's tea shop. That annoying bastard is really quick. They only talked about her last night and he immediately tried to see her.

To get her attention, Hongqi lay beside her and in his most deep voice, he called her "Aren't you enjoying reading too much articles about my good friend Han Pierre?"

Xiulan was surprised by his sudden appearance. She glanced at him and furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean by good friend? He's a spawn of Satan like you!" She nagged.

Hongqi didn't expect that accusations from her. "What did I do? Why am I being accused as a spawn of Satan?" He begrudgingly questioned. No one has ever said that to him! He may be a strict and domineering boss but it was for everyone to do their job properly.

"He was so mean! What did you guys ever experienced in your childhood that the both of you grew up to be so mean!?" Xiulan can't stop her nagging and her tone was obviously on fire. She was really frustrated from her encounter with Pierre.

She doesn't understand herself either why she suddenly snapped at Hongqi like that. But right now, she wanted to rant how obnoxious his 'good friend' Han Pierre and also include Hongqi's attitude too.
