Su Chen and Qiu Jinghan were both startled, looking at Lin Xi with puzzled faces, not understanding her sudden outburst.
Lin Xi said in a dark voice, "I'm talking to you, Su Chen, are you still human? Didn't you see that my aunt's hand is injured? And you still let her cook for you!"
Qiu Jinghan thought it was sothing serious and imdiately said with a smile, "Miss, actually..."
"Auntie, don't talk!" Lin Xi rudely interrupted Qiu Jinghan and then pointed at Su Chen's nose, "Su Chen, what did I tell you? My aunt is not an outsider, and definitely not my servant; you should treat her as your family!"
Su Chen sneered at her words and said, "What about ?"
"You? Besides having a marriage certificate with , you're nothing, without , you would have starved to death long ago!"
Lin Xi was really angry. Qiu Jinghan was said to be her nanny, but in fact, she held a very high status in her heart.
Qiu Jinghan was injured, and Lin Xi was reluctant to make demands of her, but Su Chen, having hands and feet and idling away his days, not only mooched but even let an injured Qiu Jinghan cook for him. How could she not be furious?
Su Chen finally understood that in Lin Xi's heart, he was even less important than a servant.
"Rest assured, I'll move out now!" Su Chen put down his chopsticks, no longer in the mood to eat.
He had already found a job anyway and had an advance on a month's salary; he didn't believe he couldn't find a place to stay.
If he really couldn't find one, he'd go to the enchantress Qin and ask if she still took care of her secret boyfriend.
Without saying anything more, Su Chen went upstairs to pack his things.
As for Lin Xi, she didn't intend to stop him at all.
"Don't mind him, Auntie, let's eat!"
"Miss..." Qiu Jinghan looked sad; although Lin Xi treated her well, she knew her place.
Knowing her status, she felt terrible that her own master had quarreled because of her, and she couldn't eat.
"Miss…"
"Auntie, if you're going to plead for him, don't bother. I've had enough of him! It's better if he moves out, so I don't have to be bothered by his presence!" Lin Xi said angrily.
"Miss, actually, you've misunderstood; this al... was made by Su Chen..."
"He can cook? Haha, Auntie, if you want to speak up for him, find a better excuse." Lin Xi didn't believe that Su Chen made the al.
"Miss, didn't you notice that the taste of these dishes is different from usual?"
At that mont, Lin Xi had already taken several bites; initially, she hadn't noticed, but after Qiu Jinghan's reminder, she instantly felt that the taste was indeed different from usual.
Lin Xi had been eating als cooked by Qiu Jinghan for many years; how could she not notice the difference?
Could it be that bastard really made these dishes?
No, impossible! Could that bastard really possess such culinary skills? Even better than Auntie's cooking.
Lin Xi refused to believe it and imdiately said, "Auntie, you called for takeout, right?"
"Miss, you have a fear of takeout, even if I'm forgetful, I wouldn't forget that," Qiu Jinhan said.
By this point, Lin Xi started to believe a bit.
Speaking of this fear of takeout, Lin Xi didn't have it before, but once she found a hair in her food ordered from outside, and since then, she never ate takeout again.
"Is it really made by him? Auntie, don't lie to ..." Lin Xi bit her lip, realizing the gravity if it was truly that guy who cooked the al.
"Miss, when have I ever lied to you? Actually, Su Chen is a pretty decent person, and he has never treated like a servant. When you were absent, he even helped with chores."
"He... is that good..." Lin Xi was sowhat reluctant to accept this fact.
"Miss, listen to my advice, live a good life with Su Chen, I can see that although he seems carefree and unruly, he is a very considerate man. Even if he doesn't contribute to your career, he can at least take care of you well..."
Knowing she had misunderstood Su Chen, Lin Xi felt a rush of guilt and gritted her teeth, "But I've already scolded him..."
Qiu Jinghan chuckled, "Su Chen is not a petty person; Miss, if you go apologize to him, he probably won't hold it against you..."
Apologize?
Has Lin Xi ever apologized to anyone?
She's the goddess CEO who dominates the business world; even when she's wrong, nobody dares say so.
But tonight, she was indeed in the wrong, berating Su Chen without getting the facts straight.
Plus, Su Chen isn't her subordinate.
To apologize, she'd have to swallow her pride.
But if she doesn't and the guy really runs away from ho, she'll have no way to explain to Dad.
Lin Xi hung her head in dejection, not knowing what to do.
Finally, Lin Xi mustered the courage.
It was just an apology, could it really be that difficult for a female CEO like her?
Saying it was easy; doing it was much harder.
Firstly, their relationship was incredibly tense—almost hostile.
Secondly, every ti they t before, she would berate Su Chen and didn't give him the ti of day.
Suddenly having to apologize now seed like a loss of face.
Actually, Su Chen didn't have much to pack up, just so small trinkets that quickly filled his burlap bag.
He reached the door and saw Lin Xi blocking the way.
"Excuse , CEO Lin Xi, could you please move aside?" Su Chen said indifferently.
Being called CEO Lin Xi by Su Chen, Lin Xi suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation rising in her heart.
After all, previously this guy would shalessly call her 'wife.'
No matter how she warned or threatened him, he wouldn't change his address.
But today...
After struggling for a while, Lin Xi finally opened her mouth, and in a voice so soft that almost only she could hear, she said, "I'm sorry."
"What? I can't hear you," Su Chen obviously heard her.
"I said, tonight was my fault, I shouldn't have lost my temper at you without getting the details..." Lin Xi stood in the doorway, fiddling with the hem of her own clothes, like a little girl who made a mistake, nowhere to be seen was the CEO's commanding presence.
Su Chen was naturally not a petty person; since Lin Xi had apologized, there was no need to hold a grudge.
But that didn't an he should forgive her so easily, he had to make her understand the price of her mistake.
He imdiately said, "I can forgive you, but there's a condition. Call 'husband' and let hear it."
The word 'husband' was not easy for Lin Xi to utter.
Especially calling a man she greatly disliked 'husband.'
But it was her fault, after all.
When soone does sothing wrong, they should be punished—that was her style.
Just say it once, after all, she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh by saying it.
Su Chen crossed his arms, grinning in satisfaction, waiting for Lin Xi to call him husband. Being called 'husband' by Jiangdu City's number one goddess CEO would definitely be very satisfying.
After a long period of brewing, Lin Xi finally stamred, "Hus...hus..."
Just then, Su Chen's phone rang, and he answered without thinking, even putting it on speaker.
From the phone, a sultry voice erged: "Little Chen Chen, have you missed your sister?"
Just as Lin Xi was about to call him 'husband,' her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she roared at Su Chen: "Hus...hustler, you scoundrel!"
