My....husband

Liling opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out, 'Was that really how Shen Ru saw her?'

"You can't say anything, that means I'm right then huh", her lips curled into a small smug smile as she continued, "Well does that mean you can help me get a promotion as well?"

Liling's expression turned even icier than usual, a look Shen Ru knew all too well - Liling was angry. Very angry. She looked at Shen Ru through narrowed eyes and coldly spat out her words; "Well if I can do it, you can too, get the promotion yourself", then she turned away and continued on her way,

As she walked, she could feel the pair of eyes that had been following her for a while, but she couldn't work out where the person was or what they wanted, and the fact they gave off no malicious intent didn't help at all.

She had turned the corner and was right beside her brother's room when she felt a hug from behind her,

All her anger melted instantly and she slightly ruffled Little Bun's hair, He was just like a ray of sunshine in her life,

She looked up to meet Li Hao's questioning gaze, "Where's your friend?"

She couldn't help but flinch at the word "friend" but quickly regained her composure, "She suddenly just had to leave"

Whether he believed her or not he didn't show it, so the question was therefore automatically dropped.

******************************

Xu Ming sat limply on his bed enclosed in a hug by his sister. As usual, she was practically crushing him but he could feel her worry just through her hug alone,

"Wow, if my sickness doesn't kill me, your hugs probably would", He joked

He had felt a wave of guilt wash over him and had said that in desperation to see his sister laugh,

"Oh shut up", She pushed away his shoulder and turned away dramatically feigning anger,

Just then a little head peeked out from behind Liling and locked eyes with Xu Ming,

With confusion evident on his face he asked, "Who's that",

"This is Li Qiang, but you can just call him Little Bun instead",

With that, Little Bun proceeded to climb Xu Ming's bed and circled him as performing an investigation on him, before wrapping his arms around his neck

"Well I guess that means he likes you", She was a little surprised seeing him do that since she was told he didn't like to approach strangers, but she couldn't keep her smile down at the cute scene displayed in front of her,

Xu Ming could suddenly feel the room getting colder and goosebumps rising on his skin,

He turned around to check if the door was open and letting in the cold air, but then he caught sight of the 6-foot-tall man with a darkened expression staring in his direction,

"Who's that", he said with widened eyes, his reaction was befitting of Li Hao's expression as anyone who saw him then would absolutely fear approaching him,

"Oh, that's just Li Hao, Little Bun's dad, my boss and my....husband"
