THE FIRST OF MANY THINGS

The night before, while Yun Peng sat up in bed with his laptop seating on his lap, Xiao Maiguo had lay down with his face to the door and his back to the former. What had initially started as a temper tantrum had grown into a day, then two days, and now, almost a week of giving Yun Peng the silent treatment.At first, Yun Peng had cared. Or perhaps, he had pretended to. He had apologized with a bouquet of roses. Unaffected, Xiao Maiguo had walked out on him and his perfumed bouquet. After the first day, Yun Peng had started to act like he didn't notice Xiao Maiguo.Xiao Maiguo had gotten pissed and had decided to punish him. He had deliberately fired a couple of staffs from Yun Peng's department to give him a hard time. His plan had backfired as Yun Peng—according to him—used the excuse of a lot of workload to stay away from home. To Xiao Maiguo's annoyance, went to work in the early hours of morning and returned very late.
