Lu Xinyi went outside the house with Shen Yi on his side, followed by their dogs . His assistant came to pick him up for work .
His hand held hers on a tight grasp as if he was afraid she will vanish on his side .
"Wait . I forgot something . " Shen Yi stopped and opened his hand in front of her . "Give me your phone . "
Not wanting to argue with him, Lu Xinyi handed her phone to his waiting hand and watched how he quickly type his number and saved it on her phone .
"Here . I saved my number on your phone . Call me if you need anything . "
Shen Yi patted Lu Xinyi's head gently, He was glad that his wife didn't repulse his confession earlier .
"Xinyi, don't let anyone hurt you again . Don't let them escaped unharmed," he said .
As much as he wanted to crush Gong Yijun for hurting his wife, he will let Lu Xinyi reap her own revenge to those who had wronged her . Shen Yi had faith on her, that she could get back what was rightfully hers without his help but anyone who dares to harm her will suffer his wrath .
"Is my husband doubting my capabilities?" Lu Xinyi teased back .
"No, just making sure you wouldn't come back to me crying again . "
Remembering the last time he saw her cry made his blood boil in anger again .
"Let me deal with them . I'll surely make them taste of their own medicine . " she grinned .
No, she wouldn't allow them to step on her and bully her . Not when she was Shen Yi's wife, not when her eyes were already opened to their lies and maltreatment . It was time for her to face her own problems .
She sighed . Her peaceful moments with Shen Yi were cut too short . If only they could stay longer on the cruise vacation and leave everything behind .
Her dogs pleaded for her attention which she quickly granted . Lu Xinyi gave them a satisfying rub on her chins and murmuring her words on those two spoiled furbabies .
"Say, Xinyi . " Shen Yi had been meaning to ask this before but he couldn't find a right time ask her .
"Hmm?"
"What are your next plans after leaving that rat hole?" He meant he previous job .
"I really want to go back to study . I think I have enough savings to enroll for the next semester . " Lu Xinyi said . She was a little ashamed to tell him that she didn't finish her studies due to her financial problems . After graduating from high school, she started working full time to save money .
"Do you still want to get in Silver Leaf?"
Her face fell . As much as she wanted to attend the Silver Leaf Academy it will be impossible without getting a slot for examination and passing it . She was quick to hide her frustration . Lu Xinyi shook her head . There was nothing she could do about it . Not being able to receive a confirmation letter like Meng Jiao only means that she'd failed .
"No . I think it wasn't for me and I have to accept that . "
She shook her head because she wasn't sure how she could possibly go to her dream school . If the fate really wouldn't give her that path, maybe staying at Shen Yi's side, cooking the meals she always wanted to try would be enough in her heart .
Lu Xinyi didn't really want that much . If she always wanted to become a chef like her father but she could be also satisfied living a normal life without much drama .
Shen Yi was quick to see the truth behind her lies . Did she really think she could lie to him like that? The truth on her face was bright as the daylight .
"Lu Xinyi, do not lie to me ever again . Do you want it or not?"
After hearing the seriousness on his voice, Lu Xinyi thought and weighed the pros and cons of her choices .
"I want it . " she decided . "Can you take a slot for me?" she grinned as if challenging her husband .
"Xinyi . " Shen Yi helped her up back on her foot and pulled her into an embrace . "I told you, you only need to ask and everything should fall in your hands . " Shen Yi reached out his hand and gently stroked Lu Xinyi's lips . He was really tempted to lean forward to taste those luscious lips that seemed to tease him .
Lu Xinyi froze for a moment before she took the opportunity to wrap her arms on his waist . In his arms, she found the peace in her arms . In his embrace, she knew no one will dare to harm her .
"Come home early," he told her .
"Why?" Lu Xinyi asked as she loosened her hold on his waist .
"I asked Madam Jin to prepare Filet Mignon for dinner . "
Shen Yi could only smirk as his wife grinned like a spoiled child with her eyes sparkling with joy .
