Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 30 - See You At Home, Dear Wife

"Ms. Kim, bring a set of fresh clothes for Mey." Li Qiao ordered Ms. Kim on their way to his office.
"Yes, Sir," She bowed her head before leaving to follow his orders.
When he entered his office with Xu Mey following behind, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
She knew he was asking about why she didn't tell him before coming to the office.
"I was hungry." She said it like these words would explain everything. But she was not wrong, these words were enough for Li Qiao to know that she didn't want to eat alone and decided to come here on the whim of the second.
He made her sit on the couch and picked his phone to call Ms. Kim again. "Bring food as well." He terminated the call without hearing her reply.
"Go take a shower, your clothes will be here by then." Observing his somber countenance, she quietly walked into the elevator in his office which led to his penthouse.
Ms. Kim was the most efficient person she had ever met in her life. She always completed her task with ease. She was even more efficient and loyal than her own assistant, Qin Hao. By the time she took a shower, a fresh set of clothes was already placed on the bed outside.
It was a jersey top with skinny jeans. Simple... Just what she liked.
After dressing up in new clothes, Xu Mey came back to Li Qiao's office to see him working on his laptop with his other hand holding his phone near the ear. There was food neatly placed on the coffee table at one corner. There were steamed buns, dumplings, hot spicy soup, rice, and some other side dishes.
Xu Mey sat down on the couch while waiting for Li Qiao to join her. She picked her phone to play games to kill time. She was about to get the 1st place in the game when the phone rang making her scowl.
"Hello!" She said with an annoying expression.
"Dear wifey, someone ran away with your food?" Ye Jie's husky amused voice made the scowl on her face to vanish.
"Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Your words are really cruel, dear wife." His voice held a pained tone. "Does a husband need a reason to call his beautiful wife who's working so hard?"
Xu Mey's lips curled a bit upwards. "Don't they?"
"No, they don't. A husband just needs to miss his beautiful wife's voice. That reason is enough. Isn't it?" He asked anxiously.
"Hmm... Maybe." Her 'maybe' was like a thread he needed at this moment. He smiled brightly.
"So, when is my dear wife coming home?"
"Why? Don't you have work to do at the office?"
"I have only a short unimportant meeting in 10 minutes and after that, I'll be free. So, I thought we should binge watch Black Butler. After all, it was a promise to my wife." Ye Jie asked with a hopeful expression.
The meeting described as 'unimportant' happened to be about a new business venture. It was anything but unimportant.
He waited patiently for her reply. Upon hearing about Black Butler, she was really excited and it took a lot of effort to control her scream. "I'll see you in 2 hours, then?"
"Okay. See you at home, dear wife." Ye Jie was all smiles with her answer. But he didn't know the effect of his simple 'see you at home' on Xu Mey. The thought of having a place to call home made her heart skip a beat.
She felt like an idiot for losing her composure over an ordinary sentence.
Li Qiao was watching her while she was on the phone, he couldn't hear anything from where he was standing but her smile was enough to make everything clear to him. Her sweet smile brought a faint smile to linger on his own lips.
He walked over to her and sat beside her as he rubbed her head lovingly. She gave him a radiant smile which he reciprocated happily.
Xu Mey was placing some side dishes on Li Qiao's bowl when they heard a knock on the door and after a moment, Song Yuling sauntered inside. Looking at Xu Mey, she paused for a second. Song Yuling with her beauty and aura deserved the title of Goddess Song in the industry. She had a long, slender, and beautiful pair of legs. Her phoenix-like eyes with long straight black hair intensified her beauty.
Li Qiao quirked his brow in a questioning manner looking at her just standing there. Song Yuling bit her lip in nervousness. "President Li, I signed the contract with Director Yang."
"Ms. Kim has already informed me about that. You didn't need to come personally." She stood there with her head down. "If you have nothing more to say, you can leave." He really wasn't giving any face to his company's top-star. Song Yuling didn't bother him any further and left briskly.
"You really don't want to give her another chance?" Xu Mey asked after she saw her disappearing figure.
"You asked me to give her another chance with her dreams and I did. But asking for a second chance in my life? Isn't that a bit too much? Focus on eating now." His statement left no room for further discussion.
