Little Miss Devil: The President’s Mischievous Wife Chapter 76

After their breakfast, Shen Yi started working again on his study while his brother took time to settle and bring over his luggage on one of the available guest rooms. While Shen Yi didn’t need to go to work every day there were still issues that needed his attention. Lu Xinyi understood his predicament but had set rules on his working hours.
Since their return from his business trip -slash- honeymoon, they both agreed that he will work nine to five from Mondays to Fridays which was his normal workday. Then every Saturday, nine to noon and he will have the afternoons off with Sunday as his day off. The only exceptions she let him have were the emergency meetings and conferences that he had to attend.
Shen Yi gave into her rules and understood her reasonings. Now that they have three months left until she goes to Silver Leaf, she wanted to spend most of the time with him. They may not have a child of their own but family is more important than work.
His lips curled into a smile when his eyes landed to a picture of him and Lu Xinyi on his desk. He wasn’t a very sentimental person but when Xinyi put this picture frame on his study, Shen Yi found it so endearing.
Shen Yi stood up and stretched his arms to relax his stiff muscles from sitting so long. He walked around the desk and an envelope caught his eye. He’d received this report from Qiao He when he asked a background check on Lu Xinyi after they got married.
He knew already what was written on it but he had been putting it off. Lu Xinyi’s connection with the Sun family was quite complicated than what he expected but for some reasons, he didn’t give a fuck what his family or the Sun family will say about their union.
He went out of his study and the scent of the searing meat, and baked goods from their kitchen assaulted his senses. His nose twitched at the smell of herbs and vegetables. His mouth started to water from hunger. In truth, he was really hungry and couldn’t wait what Lu Xinyi made for lunch.
If he wasn’t physically active, he would think that his wife was trying to make him fat from all those delicious cooking she made every day.
As he stepped down on the living area, their two dogs came running towards him and whine. Something must have happened for these two traitors to seek for his help. He knelt down and scratches both of their chins.
“Mallows! Milktea!” Lu Xinyi yelled from the kitchen. She came to the living area only to find her fur babies trying to hide from her wrath and sat down on their haunches beside Shen Yi. She was fuming in rage at their dogs.
“Mallows! Milktea! Both of you come here!” She was angry. Shen Yi had only seen his wife truly angry and this was the first time he was seeing her mad to her precious fur babies. What had they done?
The two Akita dogs whine and cowered in fear but Shen Yi was fast enough to hold on their collars.
“Stay,” he commanded while his wife came walking on their way.
Mallows and Milktea tucked their tails as their new mistress reprimanded them. Lu Xinyi held her favorite shoes that were already beyond recognition and smacked the dogs on their snouts. Mommy Xinyi was really angry.
“Bad dogs!” *smack* “Didn’t I told you, you can’t chew on my shoes?!”
Both dogs lowered their heads in shame. Lu Xinyi eyed them before turning to the nearest trash bin to throw her shoes.
“Damn it. Those were the last pair I bought with my own money,” she mumbled to herself.
Shen Yi arched a brow when he heard what she’d said.
“Dear, you can buy a shoe store and not bother by those shoes anymore. What brand of those shoes? I’m going to call Qiao He to find the same design.” he said.
“Darling, you don’t understand.” Lu Xinyi sighed. “It was special because I used my hard earned money and saved up just to buy that pair but I guess they really need to retire now.”
Shen Yi watched as his wife took steps upstairs.
“Can you check the one I left on the oven for a while? I forgot my phone upstairs. I’ll be back soon.” she said.
Making his way through the kitchen, Shen Yi looked around and saw his younger brother already eating the first batch of baked goods that Lu Xinyi made earlier. Not yet lunchtime and Shen Xue had already stolen his food!
