70 JEALOUS

Yinyang Publishing

On the top floor of the publishing, Min Chu is busy organizing some files before her maternity leave, when her phone rings.

She smiled before answering, "Hello, Guan?"

On the other side of the line, Guan Ning draw a deep silent breath before answering.

"Hm, it's me. What time will I pick you tonight?"

Min Chu went stiff, the folder in her other hand fell. She never thought that he'd agree. Her lips curved into a beautiful smile as she answered, "Is 7 okay with you?"

"Sure. See you," Guan Ning said curtly.

"Okay, see you," she answered back and the call ended.

Min Chu felt glad in her heart. No matter how cold Guan is to her, as long as he is willing to meet her, that's fine.

It has been so long since she saw and talked to him. The guilt she felt years ago resurfaced, making her feel nauseous. She immediately ran to the toilet, making the employees turn their heads and gossip.

"What is happening? Is Ms. Min sick?" the Finance Manager asked.

"Maybe. Remember how she fainted and was rushed to the hospital? The main branch even told us to keep quiet. Is it that serious?" another employee answered.

"It's best if we ask Secretary Ji about it."

In the middle of their conversation, the elevator opened. As they saw who it was, their eyes widened. They immediately rose to their feet, bowed, and greeted, "CEO Guan."

Guan Qing nodded and strode past them. All their eyes followed his silhouette towards the EIC's office. Their faces full of admiration.

It's almost lunchtime, and they saw that the mighty CEO of Yinyang Enterprise is a thoughtful and doting husband as he brought lunch for his beloved wife.

"Is she inside?" Guan Qing asked the secretary. He wanted to give her a surprise visit today by bringing her lunch.

"Ms. Min went to the toilet a while ago, sir. Should I call and tell her that you're here?"

"No, it's okay. I'll just wait for her inside." Guan Qing is about to open the office door when he paused and turned back. "Ah, please don't tell her that I'm inside." He reminded the secretary with a smile.

"Will do, sir."

Min Chu walked back to her office feeling awful while holding her abdomen. She never thought that her first pregnancy would be like this.

She was stunned the moment she opened the door as she saw her handsome husband inside sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine.

Probably because he felt someone staring at him, Guan Qing turned his head towards the door. He smiled and stood up as he saw Min Chu, opening his arms wide.

She laughed and blushed at his gesture but still made het way towards his open arms. She breathed his familiar scent, calming her nerves.

"What are you doing here?"

Guan Qing pointed towards the coffee table, "Lunch", while holding her waist.

Min Chu's heart warmed at his thoughtfulness.

The both of them sat side by side. Min Chu noticed that the food he brought were the one she'd been craving for the past days. She then gave him a peck on the cheek as a sign of thanking him

In the middle of their lunch, Min Chu asked permission about the dinner with Guan Ning that night.

"Darling..."

Her husband peered at her while putting rice in his mouth. "Hmm?"

"Uhm, tonight…," she hesitated and bit the chopsticks. She swallowed hard before continuing, "…I'll have dinner with Guan. Is that okay with you?"

Guan Qing turned stiff for a moment that made Min Chu's heart leap out of her chest. He puts the food down the table and looked at her straight in the eyes. As she looked back, his emotions seems unreadable.

"Darling? It's fine if you won't permit me to go. I'll just…" she was cut by his chuckling. "Why are you laughing?" it made her a little bit flustered and annoyed at the same time.

Looking at her furious face, Guan Qing laughed even louder. Min Chu pouted and was about to stood from her seat and stopped eating when Guan Qing held her shoulders down. He remembered he can't stir her emotions because of their child in her.

"Hey, I'm sorry, okay? It's fine, you can go. Why do you think I'd forbid you to?" Guan Qing said, his laughter still audible.

"I thought you'd be jealous." Min Chu is still pouting.

"Why would I be?" Guan Qing hid the dimness in his eyes. Of course he's jealous! He's jealous about how his little brother's relationship with his wife all those years.

His mind once again, run wild. If it wasn't for their parents' agreement about their marriage, will she chose him? Or, did she even wavered about her feelings for him?

Guan Qing hugged her tightly while patting her back, comforting her, but more like comforting him.
