SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 1)

This morning, Xiang-zhe drove his car into the company car park. At his side sat his beloved newly-wedded wife.

l go off first and we'll meet at our usual meeting place after work? Sun-mei said as she released the seat belt and open the car door.

Let go in together? Xiang-zhe said to Sun-mei just as she is getting out of the car.
This is their first day to work after their wedding and yet Sun-mei is still reticent about letting their colleagues see them together.

Better not! Anyway, I'm already late, see you tonight? she smile, waving her hand at Xiang-zhe as she quickly ran towards the lift.

Xiang-zhe glance at his watch. There is still time to go in together but Sun-mei had already disappeared from his view. Xiang-zhe could only shake his head and smile.

When Sun-mei walk into the office, the first person she saw is Chen-shui who quickly stood up and addressed her good morning, Madam?

Sun-mei blush and could only nod her head in reply.

Shen Qi-dong walk towards Chen-shui and knock at the back of his head. ou and your flatteries? he then turn towards Sun-mei with a grin, Please put in some good words for me in front of the director? He then added slyly actually, you don't have to work so hard. If I were you, I would rather stay at home and enjoy life?

This is impossible? objected Lee Qin-see Sun-mei is the star of MBS now?.

Oh yeah! our director still need her to help him to make more money? Chen-shui added.

All of you, please don tease me anymore? Sun-mei begged, wishing there is a hole so that she could buried herself inside.

Now, everyone, get to work and don be lazy. Don forget that we have a spy in our department now? even Xian-da join in to tease Sun-mei. Everyone started laughing.

The day passed smoothly and soon it is time to go home. Sun-mei switch off her computer and was just getting ready to go and meet Xiang-zhe when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.
Hello, everybody? BR Isn that Xiang-zhe voice? Sun-mei could not believe her ears. She turn her head and there he was, standing at the doorway. Everyone stood up and respond to Xiang-zhe greeting.
Director Yin is such a good husband to come personally to fetch his wife home?Xian-da could not resist making fun of Xiang-zhe.

Well, this is part of the price you have to pay once you get married?Xiang-zhe replied. He then winked at Sun-mei and added sn it??

A flustered Sun-mei could only keep quiet.

We are going off now, see all of you tomorrow?Xiang-zhe then took Sun-mei elbow and steer her towards the door and out of the office.

Once they were outside the office, Sun-mei glared at Xiang-zhe didn we agreed that we will meet at our usual meeting place. Why did you come to our office? Tomorrow, everyone will start to tease me again?

Zhen Sun-mei, when have I agree with you on this? We are already married. Whoever heard of husband and wife meeting secretly outside the office. Don't you think that this is going to invite even more gossip? Xiang-zhe replied.

But?? Sun-mei couldn find a single retort, after all Xiang-zhe does has a point.

Horeover, the company does not have a rule that says that colleagues cannot go to work together? Xiang-zhe reasoned.

But? Sun-mei repeated.

No more buts? why don you worry about what to prepare for dinner tonight, my dear wife. I am famished? Xiang-zhe said, draping an arm over her shoulders as he led the way to the carpark..
Who told you that I must cook dinner nor did I ever agreed to? Sun-mei retort, cleverly avoided Xiang-zhe hand and sidestepped him neatly before calling out to him ace you to the car. The loser will have to cook dinner tonight? she challenged.

Watching Sun-mei fast disappearing back, Xiang-zhe laugh happily. As long as she is by his side, happiness seem to surround him which often make him wonder how he had survived the 30 years of emptiness of his life. Now, he felt as if he might burst from happiness. It seem impossible for one heart to hold so much joy.
