Chapter 274 Worried

The black house was quiet. The curtains were dancing with the gentle cold breeze as the pleasant morning light penetrated through it.

But outside the house, everyone was all ready. Cars were already lined up in front of the house, ready to leave. The men in black were also right there, waiting for their bosses to come out. Their bosses were always punctual so when they didn’t see them come out at the usual time, the men started to look at each other with all sorts of theories in their heads.

Most of them were thinking the same thing and they couldn’t help but grin meaningfully at each other. It looked like another little boss might come in the near future now and they were definitely not complaining about it.

Of course, a certain someone was the most animated among them all. He even sat near the flowerbed and started picking the petals.

"Girl? Boy? Girl? Boy? Girl?" he continued mumbling until Guan Ye disturbed him.

"Hey, are you really going to continue doing that? The lady boss will bury you and turn you to a nice fertilizer if she saw what you did to her flower." Guan Ye said and the man froze. His eyes fell on the mountain of petals on the ground and he straightened his back.

"Haha. A certain insect did this, Guan Ye. An insect." He told him as he wrapped his arm around Guan Ye’s shoulder, before dragging him away from the flowerbed.

"Yeah, an insect named Gu Wei."

"No, it’s a caterpillar Guan Ye."

Time ticked by and the sun was already high when finally, the door opened.

Yu Chen stepped out and saw that his men were still waiting so he cleared his throat and told them that they’re not going to work today. He even told the others to take a day off.

The men were of course, very pleased, but what made them extra happy that morning was because their big boss’ face was shining so bright.

Gu Wei captured that particular look none of them had seen before before he approached Yu Chen with a bright and mischievous smile.

"Boss... you looked extremely happy today, eh." Gu Wei teased, winking at him meaningfully.

However, Yu Chen ignored him. He told the men to leave before he cleared his throat again and called Guan Ye.

"Yes, boss?" Guan Ye stood before him. Of course, the historian didn’t leave. He stayed right next to Gu Wei, as if he too was called.

Yu Chen’s gaze wandered around and the men could see his face turning a bit red. Gu Wei nudge Guan Ye as they both glanced at each other.

"Do you need something? Or, do you have something to ask, boss?" Guan Ye continued and Yu Chen rubbed the back of his neck before he finally looked at him.

"My wife is still sleeping." He said.

The two waited for the rest of his words but it didn’t come.

"Lady boss is still sleeping, Guan Ye." Gu Wei seriously repeated Yu Chen’s words and Guan Ye almost want to smack him.

"Boss, is there something wrong?" Guan Ye could no longer bear this awkward situation.

However, Yu Chen stared at him like he was suddenly doubting him. The next moment,

"N-never mind," he said and left.

Guan Ye and Gu Wei only snapped out when the door was closed.

"What was that?" Gu Wei asked, still staring at the closed door.

"How should I know?"

"Was boss still half asleep?"

...

Yu Chen went back to their room again and peeked inside. He walked quietly towards the sleeping girl and when he saw the marks all over her body, he bit his lips and run his fingers through his hair. He looked at the clock and it was already 10 in the morning. His wife who always woke up early even after pulling all nighter was still sleeping so soundly. He knew he had exhausted her to her limit last night and he wanted to hit himself for failing to control himself.

He couldn’t help but feel worried. What if Xiaolei would scold him when she woke up? He didn’t mind, actually, he deserved to be scolded. He even wanted her to punish him for failing to consider his wife’s stamina despite being warned not to overdo it in the very first night. He couldn’t help but feel worried that his action last night might have upset his wife, or even made her angry, or overwhelmed her to the point that she might not want to sleep with him anymore. Well, he also remembered how he made her teared up last night and it made him feel even more worried.

Yu Chen was overthinking everything that before he knew it, he had dialed Zaki’s number. He went outside to ask for advice from Guan Ye but he remembered that the man wasn’t married, in fact, all of his men were unmarried, so he returned inside without asking anyone. He also considered searching on the web but he changed his mind. He thought that it was better to talk about this with his fellow married brother.

"Oh, you called. What’s up? I’m assuming that something good had happened last night." The mischievous man on the other side of the phone sounded like he was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Yu Chen had actually considered calling Sei at first but knowing his personality, he decided that the best choice was still Zaki.

Yu Chen cleared his throat. "Well... uhm... big bro... my wife is..."

"Hey, stop talking like a broken tape. Your wife is what?"

"Well, she’s still sleeping."

". . ."

For some reason, Zaki fell silent. And then, Yu Chen heard him sigh.

"Well, I’m just –"

"Stop." Suddenly, Zaki stopped him. "Ahh... I can’t believe this is happening again. Sigh..."

"What are you saying –"

"Listen, Yu Chen. If you’re going to ask me if your wife is fine because she’s not waking up, my answer is YES. If you’re going to ask me about her bruises, my answer is SHE’S ALRIGHT, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. Also, don’t even think about calling a doctor. Sigh..."

Yu Chen: ". . ."

Zaki: "Did you hear what I said? No matter how many rounds it was, she’s perfectly alright. No need to worry. Got it? Bye."

Yu Chen creased his brows as he stared at his phone. However, the next second, he dialed it again.

"What. I told you, she’s alright –"

"I know that she’s alright. I just want to ask you about what should I do to please her once she wakes up. I mean, I want to know if there’s something I could do so that my wife will forgive me for behaving... well... bad and not gentle last night."

Zaki: ". . ."
