SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 29)
The Prime Minister of Korea will set off to America for a diplomatic visit next week. The news department of MBS appointed Yung-Hsi to follow up with the interview. However, her unexpected pregnancy gave this mission some last minute changes. They have to look for another suitable candidate to take over this important task. The Head of Department (HOD) from the news department, Xian-Da, Yung-Hsi were all in Xiang-Zhe’s office to discuss how to solve this tough problem.
“Had the doctor said that the early stage of pregnancy is not good for long distance flight, I would definitely not even give up this rare opportunity.” Yung-Hsi had become more beautiful after her pregnancy, but she doesn’t look happy at all.
Xian-Da’s eye’s rolled; there she goes again, “ Liu Yung-Hsi, even you don’t think for yourself, you should also think of the others who are working together with you. They are going there to work, not to look after a pregnant woman.”
“So here I am, sitting down right here with all of you discussing the topic,” Yung-Hsi has always admired Xian-Da’s impartial capabilities.
Xiang-Zhe turned to Yung-Hsi and smiled, “ Don’t worry about it, there will be more opportunities like this in the near future.”
“Actually, I have someone in my mind.” Holding back her unhappiness, Yung-Hsi said seriously.
“Oh! Who’s it?” If that’s the case, things will be much easier to handle.
“Sun-Mei is the first choice in my mind! The capabilities of Sun-Mei are more than enough to accomplish this important task.” As she has guided Sun-Mei personally, she was very satisfied with her performance.
“Sun-Mei!” Xiang-Zhe knitted his brows lightly to show his disagreement because this is the last answer that he desires to hear.
“Miss Zhen Sun-Mei is indeed a proper candidate!” The news HOD supported the suggestion. Xian-Da also nodded his head, implying that he also approved of this suggestion, and added, “ Moreover, it will be a good opportunity for her to gain more experience.”
Looks like Yung-Hsi is bent on looking at him being troubled by love!.
Xiang-Zhe breathed deeply and turned to Xian-Da, “Okay, this will be what we have decided on for the time being, but you still have to seek her personal opinion first.” However, deep in his heart, he wishes that Sun-Mei would look for an excuse to successfully cancel this business trip.
***************************
On their way home that day, Sun-Mei took a few glance at Xiang-Zhe and she pouted her mouth. She seems to have the intention to speak out, but!.
“What’s the matter?” She was usually like a sparrow, but why was she so quiet today?
“EUmmm! that is !.” She looked at him cautiously, “ the thing is!.regarding to the oversea interview that Senior Yung-Hsi is supposed to go, she is pregnant, so she can’t go!”
“Thus you are responsible for carrying such a big burden on your shoulders again?” He helped her to complete her sentence, for he always know that she would definitely place more importance on her job.
Sun-Mei quickly shook her head and said, “No, no, I haven’t promised the team leader yet.”
A sense of happiness rose from the bottom of his heart, “You rejected it?” Then he doesn’t have to go through the torment of thinking of her when she is not around!.
She shook her head again, “ Not really, I was thinking that it would be better if I can discuss the matter with you first.”
“Actually!.you can’t bear to leave me alone and you do not want to go, right?” He purposely teased her and took a glance at her.
“Who can’t bear to leave you? Be more serious, okay?” She smiled and glared at him, “I am discussing something serious with you!”
There was silence between them. Finally Xiang-Zhe broke the silence, “If you really have to go, then you just go!” To speak out this sentence to set her free is really not easy.
But he cannot obstruct Sun-Mei from soaring, she should be a happy kite, and he was willing to be the breeze to embrace her to fly higher than the usual heights!
“I thought Senior would not want me to be away for so long!.” She felt relieved now.
“This is your job, isn’t it? It only took a week, and how could he be so selfish to bury a good broadcaster.
He totally understood, he would be happy only if she is happy!.
She smiled and leaned closer to him, “Thank you!” Sun-Mei said to Xiang-Zhe happily. Thankful to him for his understanding, and even more touched by his strong support for her career.
“Zhen Sun-Mei, I am driving now, you don’t seduce me!.” He said feebly as he felt the heat in his body rising!
“ Have I?” Her cheeks turned rosy, and she felt innocent!
She did not know that he had already stepped on the accelerator and can’t wait to drive back to their home!.
******************
On the day when the team was supposed to set off, Sun-Mei and the rest of her colleagues have just finished checking in. She bent down to carry her luggage and was about to follow the others to the departure hall!.
“Hello, everyone!” The familiar hoarse voice of a male rang through the ears.
“Hi Director Yin!” Everyone was sending their regards and greeting him. That’s strange? Why has Director Yin has come to send us off personally? Within a second, they iUmmediately figured out the reason and turned to look at Sun-Mei. They were waiting to see how this couple is going to bid each other good-bye for many times!
“If all of you don’t mind, I would like to have a talk with Miss Zhen Sun-Mei in private.” He said politely and firmly, how can anyone say “no” to his request?
“Of course!of course! there’s still plenty of time. You can take you time and chat.” Everyone could only leave in reluctance, “Miss Zhen Sun-Mei, we’ll wait for you inside!”
Sun-Mei nodded her head shyly, and turned to look at Xiang-Zhe with sorrow in her eyes. She said to Xiang-Zhe, “Didn’t I ask you not to come? But you still come here!”
“The meeting in the morning was cancelled in the last minute!.” In order to clarify the doubt, he raised his hand to swear, “It’s true!”
“When you got fired, I won’t bother!” She can’t hold herself any longer!
A gentle smile ran across her face. Xiang-Zhe opened his arms to hug Sun-Mei!
Her long slender arms slipped under his arms and she embraced his broad chest.
“English style?” she smiled to Xiang-Zhe and asked.
He embraced her tightly on his body and said gently, “Lover’s style.”
Resting on his shoulders, she reminded him again, “ When I am not around, remember to take your 3 meals regularly, don’t work too late, smoke less, drink less wine. Do you get it?”
“My request is much simpler. You must remember to think of me!” That was his forcible but gentle request to Sun-Mei. Sun-Mei thought, “For sure, I will think of you. I am already thinking of your body temperature when I am still in your arms!.”
The deep affection and unbearable departure had made them unaware of things around them and they continued to their embrace!
“It’s almost time to leave. I need to go in now!.” Sun-Mei controlled her emotions and pushed him away gently.
“Be careful on the road!” When he spoke to Sun-Mei, his eyes were filled with reluctance. “Bye!” Xiang-Zhe has to let her go now.
Along the way, she suddenly turned around and made a funny face at him. Once again, this naughty angel had made him laugh again.
The business trip is only 5 days long, not 3 years. Why was this departure even more unbearable than the one in England?
Even when her figure was completely out of sight, he was still standing in the empty hall.
*****************
While discussing some office matters with Xiang-Zhe, Xian-Da noticed that Xiang-Zhe was glancing at the TV screen again. This was already the third time! There will be a satellite news transmission on Sun-Mei’s interview from abroad. No further prompt needed for Xian-Da to consider that Xiang-Zhe was waiting anxiously for the image of Sun-Mei. The one that he has been waiting for day and night.
“Looks like CBS is still in the lead,” Xiang-Zhe turned his head back quickly, trying hard to concentrate on his report.
The new programme “to hit the Sport News” has first broadcasted the new partners of Cui Chen-Sui & Shen Qi-Zhong yesterday. However, the results did not turned out well as expected.
“They have invited the most popular basketball star to co-host the programme; that’s why they have managed to maintain the watching frequency of the audiences.”
“A sport star is indeed a selling point!” He did come across this idea, but he wishes to have a sport programme which is more close to the needs of the people.
“However, according to the survey, the audience was satisfied with the performance of Shen Qi-Zhong and Cui Chen-Sui. I think!.”
Xiang-Zhe raised his hand to interrupt the talk of Xian-Da, “Shhhh!.” His eyes were glued to the TV screen due to the familiar voices of Sun-Mei on TV.
“Hello everyone, reporter is now at the White House of America at Washington D.C.”
Shining under the rising sun, her shoulder length hair that was being blown gently by the breeze also brings out his good mood.
Looking at her brilliant smile under the sun, he touched his forehead and secretly displayed a smile himself.
Xian-Da felt that the expression of Xiang-Zhe at this moment, was just like the scenario of a fly, being stuck on a flytrap. Xiang-Zhe was completely stuck to Sun-Mei no matter where she goes!
He purposely pulled out his handkerchief and passes it to him. Xian-Da said to Xiang-Zhe, “She is your wife already, wipe away your drooling saliva as soon as you can!”
Undisturbed by his friend’s teases, Xiang-Zhe fell into deep thoughts!
“You’ll be back tomorrow, right? I realized that I am getting less patient to wait. Really miss you and did you receive my telepathy?” Xiang-Zhe mumbled to himself from the deepest corner of his heart!
