Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Late Night Conversation
As soon as Lin Mengyao stepped into the bedroom, Xu Ke followed with a glass of honey water and asked, "Did I upset you just now?" Xu Ke handed the honey water to Lin Mengyao and said in a low voice, his soft and fluffy hair standing atop his head, much like a big dog waiting to be scolded for its mistakes.
"Thank you, this has nothing to do with you. We've never gotten along well; if not today, we were bound to argue tomorrow." Lin Mengyao took the warm cup, heated by the water, and spoke softly.
"Have some honey water. I noticed you've been upset today. Did something happen at the office?" Xu Ke asked, sitting on his own sofa.
There was a small sofa in their bedroom, bought by Lin Mengyao when they got married, and Xu Ke had slept on it for the past three years. Although it wasn't tiny, with Xu Ke's height of almost 1.9 meters, he had to curl up to fit on it without falling off.
In the past, Lin Mengyao would never discuss company matters with Xu Ke. Perhaps it was the meal he prepared today, or maybe his behavior during the engagement ceremony affected her, or it could just be that the beautiful moon stirred something within her, compelling her to speak.
The urge was overwhelming, and by the time she realized, she was already speaking. "That's how it is," Lin Mengyao recounted what had happened during the board meeting.
People are like that; it's always difficult the first time you open up, but once you do, the words begin to flow more freely.
Lin Mengyao tightened her lips into a straight line, using the cool moonlight and Xu Ke's inability to see, she revealed her vulnerability and sadness in her shimmering eyes for the first time.
"So, what are your plans?" Xu Ke asked in a deep voice.
