"What are you doing here?" Aoi Xiu was not-so-happy to see her husband . They had ceased communicating for awhile now because they argued about the partnership with the Zhou luxury dining restaurant .

"I miss my wife . " He looked sincere .

"You know that that stopped working ages ago . Also, you look guilty of something . " She squinted her eyes at him .

After she pointed out that he looked guilty, his expression continued to give it away . Though he had no intention of flirting with another woman, he still felt guilty that Su Linyu had the chance to suggest such a preposterous thing during their meeting, which in the first place, was the very reason why his wife had not talked to him for weeks .

Her avoidance was so intense that he felt as if he was infectious, even during the time that their son had just awakened .

"Well, what did you do now?" Her brow twitched up as her expression turned icy .

"Sweetheart, I did not do anything wrong . In fact, I was wronged . . . well, in a way . " He tried to walk towards her . However, she shot him a look which made him sit back with a lousy seiza (1) .

She continued to stare grimly at him as she sat down opposite him on the other side of the table . Her seiza was perfect . "So, how did you let someone wrong you?" Her tone was completely accusing him .

Suddenly, he moved to her side and bent to a dogeza (2) . "Sweetheart, I was wrong . You were right about how it would be awkward to have the partnership . . . "

"What . Did . You . Do?!" She looked down on him like she might kill him depending on his answer .

Dan picked up his wife after work, despite her protests inside her office . The argument ceased for awhile as they went down the garage . As they sat inside the silver SSC Ultimate Aero, she continued to nag him about appearing in her office .

"My people are starting to recognize you! Even if my brother will take over in about a week, I am still their CEO right now! Your upcoming 'engagement is not helping my case either! Do you want people to think that I'm your mistress?!"

"When will he take over?" Yes, that was the only thing that he picked up from what she said .

Midori's voice lowered to her normal tone . "The following week . "

"Where will you work then?" He was aware that she had a position in the Igarashi group in City T .

"I . . . " She was guilty . She had yet to inform him of the possibility that she will be sent back, and now he was asking her . She felt that it was unfair to him .

"You will go back to the Igarashi group . " he concluded .

"Dan, I . . . " Her previous angry expression totally turned to one of gulit and sadness .

"I think it's a good idea . " he said nonchalantly .

"What?!" She was confused . This clingy guy actually said that it was a good idea for her to return to City T!

"Your brother has woken up . His assassination plot is still under investigation . If I were him, I would also send my family back to a safer environment . " He looked at her gently . The words 'my family' were emphasized in the sentence too much that the message was clear . Dan would also send her there if he would make a decision, just to keep her safe .

"Darling, I don't think . . . " She tried to reach out to caress his face .

He took her hand and kissed it . "I also have too many issues that I need to resolve right now . Your return could confuse my family regarding my relationship with Madeline . They would think that you gave up because I got engaged . It would divert the attention of everyone away from you . "

He pulled her closer into an embrace . "Don't worry . I will always find time to see you . "

She looked at him with furrowed brows and pouting lips .

"You don't believe me?" He smiled .

"I might miss you too much . " Her pout remained .

He chuckled . "Even if I spend billions on fuel, my private plane will always be on stand by for a City T flight, okay?"

After she nodded, they sat back on their chairs as he fastened her seatbelt for her .

They drove back to their villa .

Though reassured, Midori still remained quiet as she was cooking in the kitchen .

This continued throughout dinner even with Dan's effort to cheer her up .

As they lie on their bed, she was still pouting and contemplating .

Dan was at his limit on this . They cannot sleep with her being like this, ao he pulled out his trump card .

"Darling, in order not to miss me that much while you're away, why don't we make a baby?" He flashed his perfect smile .
