Chapter 221 - You Did The Right Thing My Little Wife.
Xie Ming took a taxi in front of the Global World to go to the Jin Mansion because Jin Liang has messaged her that he is busy.
As soon as she gets in the taxi, her phone rang. She smiled when she saw a set of numbers.
It was Liwei.
She picked up the call and said, "Hello."
Liwei was holding his phone in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other while looking at the documents in front of him.
A smile appeared on his face when he heard her voice which was mellow to his ears, " Did you sign the contract?" he asked while taking a sip of his coffee.
" Hmm. I have signed it and" she took a pause while speaking and said, " I also told Tang Nian about our marriage. Did I do something wrong?" she fidgeted with her dress while thinking if she did anything wrong by telling her about her marriage.
She asked cautiously. She was worried that Liwei might get angry with her because she told Tang Nian without talking to him first and she was the one who wanted to keep their marriage a secret.
When Liwei heard her words, he was surprised and raised his brows in amusement.
He knows that she was not the type that can lie easily but he never thought that she will tell about their marriage so early.
After a pause, he asked, " Did you tell her who is your husband?" he asked playfully.
Xie Ming immediately shook her head and said, " No. I just told her that my husband is just a simple businessman and is not a part of showbiz so it won't be a problem."
"simple businessman?" Liwei chuckled when he heard her words.
No one has called him a simple businessman yet. He was a man who not only rules the business industry but also the entertainment industry with Global World.
In what way he can be considered a regular businessman?
Xie Ming raised her brows when she heard his voice. She doesn't know why but she can't help but smile while talking to him.
Liwei didn't say anything and took a deep breath and said, " You did the right thing, my little wife."
Xie Ming felt her heartbeat became faster when she heard him saying ' my wife.'
Her ears turned red out of embarrassment and took a deep breath to calm her hyped nerves.
She loved it when he casually calls her out like this. The feeling of being loved is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.
That's what Xie Ming was feeling right now. She hung her head down shyly and smiled while pursing her lips to laugh.
They both didn't say anything for a while but just listening to each other breath over the phone.
Liwei heard the sounds of car honks and asked, " Where are you?"
Xie Ming looked towards the window and saw that they were stuck in the traffic. She said in a low voice and said, " I am on my way to the Jin Mansion. It just I am stuck in the traffic." she said when she laughed dryly.
Liwei's voice became stern as he asked, " Is Jin Liang with you or not?"
Xie Ming sensed the coldness in his voice. It seems that he figured out she was not with Jin Liang.
Initially, she was not planning to tell him that Jin Liang didn't come to pick her up because he might get angry with him because of this reason.
But she could feel that he already knew about it from the coldness of his voice.
He hesitantly said, " Erm.. No. He was busy so I took a taxi to the Mansion. But don't worry, there won't be any problem." she said lightly.
Liwei was looking at the picture of Jin Liang with the director and producer with whom he went outside earlier and frowned when he heard Xie Ming's words.
He had asked her to pick her up from the Global World but he didn't do as he had told him.
After she woke up from the coma, he became overprotective about her. He doesn't want her to go away from his gaze.
Xie Ming was feeling uncomfortable with his silence and said hurriedly, " He was busy so I was the one who asked him to not come and that I will take a taxi. It's not his fault."
She was talking on the phone with her head hung down and didn't notice the turn that her car has taken.
" Don't take his side. He was just trying to brush his responsibility off," he said with a heavy voice.
He was visibly angered at Jin Liang but didn't say much because Xie Ming.
Xie Ming sighed when she heard her words.
" Do you take me as a kid? I can take… " she was talking to Liwei but stopped when she looked outside the window. She was going to say that she can take care of herself but the words didn't make their way to her mouth.
All this while she didn't notice where the driver was driving her.
Her words stuck in her throat when she saw the isolated area with the old construction building in front of her eyes.
The place was very quiet and secluded. There are only buildings which were in construction or have been abandoned and nobody seemed to be around there.
When she was in Jin Liang's car, she has seen her surroundings outside the car and there was no building that was in construction on their way.
Her body trembled when she felt a cold shiver through her spine.
She cautiously raised her head to look at the driver, who was wearing a cap that has hidden his face.
But suddenly the driver raised his head and looked at Xie Ming through the mirror which made her startle in horror.
When his mysterious dark eyes met with Xie Ming's shocked gaze, his lips curled up in a smile that was scary and mysterious.
The driver had a burn mark on his face which makes him look more vicious and dangerous.
His dark piercing eyes made a shiver ran in her spine. She tightened her grip on the phone as she stuttered, " Where are we? This is not the way to Southern Avenue. Where are you taking me?" she questioned him in a stern voice.
Her whole body became cold as she shivered in fear because the eyes of the driver were mysterious and dangerous.
Liwei, on the other hand, was drinking his coffee froze in his actions when he tried to listen to her words because the network was wavering at this moment," Xie Ming. Hello. What happened? Are you still there?" he questioned when she suddenly stopped talking.
But when he heard her voice again, his face darkened when he heard her words. He could hear her trembling voice when she was talking to the driver.
His eyes became sharp as he suddenly stood up from his chair and went outside his office with the phone near his ears.
*Southern Avenue is the name of the street where Jin Mansion was located.*
