SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 31)

For the past 2 days, Sun-Mei has been to a few animal shelters in order to prepare for the week’s theme of “Here goes, Broadcaster!”. She has finally finished filming the programme on time and she really felt exhausted. Recently, probably due to the humidity of the hot weather, Sun-Mei felt tired so easily and has no appetite. Walking towards the ladies restroom, she was wondering about the changes she experiences!!.

There was some whispering coming out from the ladies restroom. “Have you all heard of it? Looks like Assistant manager Kim will soon be kicked out of the board.”

“That’s right! How could we believe that Director Yin would be so cold-blooded, not considering the fact that they’re relatives, he really got rid of him!”

“That’s for sure! He’s the son of the CEO! No matter how powerful Assistant manager Kim is, he can’t possibly beat him.”

“Heard that this time round, Director Yin is going to sack all those followers of Assistant Kim.”

“The competition in a family business is really terrible!.”

“That’s right!.and!.”

The two colleagues continued their conversation and they did not realized that Sun-Mei was just standing near the door, having heard every word of what they said.

Is it true? Sun-Mei didn’t think that such a silly thing would happen. Would Senior really doesn’t care about anything?

The relationship between Senior and Assistant manager Kim has been an open issue to almost everyone in the company. However, if it’s because of their conflicts in ideas and drag those innocent along, it would really be unfair. Those people have ever devoted themselves to the company. They should not be sacrificed under the competition of anyone.

She would like to get to the bottom of it.

“Right now, there are many animal shelters like those of ‘Homes of the Mama Cui’, their mercy for these animals are being tested. Hope that everyone is willing to give a helping hand to these stray animals,” reported by broadcaster Zhen Sun-Mei

Xiang-Zhe was shocked when he saw Sun-Mei on the screen. Gosh! What was she doing? She was surrounded by a group of beast (Huge dogs) reporting the news and what made him sweat was this brave girl was trying to touch an Alsatian that jumped on her!!!

Once again, he realizes that he needs to have a very strong heart when he married her. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would die of shock!

Xiang-Zhe bowed his head down to smooth his brows. No! He can’t wait any longer and must discuss the specific topic with Sun-Mei immediately.

Just as he was picking up the handset, Sun-Mei pushed the door and walked in.

His bright eyes sparkled with familiar gentleness when he saw her. “Telepathy? I was just about to call you and you came.”

“I’ve got something to ask Senior.” Sun-Mei sounded serious.

“That’s good! I’ve got something to tell you too.” A big smile ran across his face. Hopefully they are referring to the same thing’.

Regarding the news that Assistant manager Kim and his colleagues are going to leave the company, does Senior have any comments about this? Is Senior familiar with the surprising news?

Xiang-Zhe nodded his head and said, “Yes, I am aware of this news.”

Seeing that Senior did not deny, Sun-Mei asked, “Senior, don’t you think it’s too much?”

“Sun-Mei!” Xiang-Zhe knitted his brows.

“Isn’t it? Isn’t everyone trying to do his best for the company? Even if there are times when ideas are not the same, you can’t drive them to a dead end,” she said furiously.

Seeing a fuming expression on Sun-Mei’s face, Xiang-Zhe also got angry.

“No matter what other people say, I don’t care. But even you join in the battle, I am truly disappointed as well.” Sun-Mei couldn’t believe what other colleagues just said. She hopes to get the answer directly from Xiang-Zhe himself.

Sun-Mei was really sad and she did not wished to discuss any further. She stood up and turned to leave.

“Wait! There are things I haven’t say!!” He called to stop her from leaving. To him, ‘Another Thing’ was the most important!

“I hope that you can stop ‘Here goes, broadcaster!’ temporarily and some of the outdoor shootings because...”

Sun-Mei stared at him and felt even angrier. “You don’t have to explain everything to me, Director Yin.”

What did he base on to make her stop the shooting of the programme? Is it because she has not put in her best effort? Sun-Mei thought. “You can do whatever you like.” Sun-Mei said coldly.

Watching her leaving his office, still fuming, Xiang-Zhe sighed helplessly...forget it! Will explain to her when they reach home.

However, that day, after work, Sun-Mei was still angry and did not meet up with Xiang-Zhe. She went back to her father’s house alone instead. After receiving Gui-Cheng’s phone call, Xiang-Zhe rushed there without delay.

Till he saw Sun-Mei sitting on the sofa, his heart then settled down slightly.

“Okay, okay! It’s very common that couple would squabble. Make peace! Don’t be angry anymore.”

Gui-Cheng & Zhen-Shu tried to be their mediator.

In the presence of his father-in-law and Aunt, Xiang-Zhe decided to clear the misunderstanding.

“I don’t know what you have heard from others, but the reason why Assistant manager Kim wants to leave MBS, is because he needs to take over another media group which our company has acquired recently. He has picked all the managers on his own. As far as I know, he was very satisfied to be given such an opportunity.”

So that was the reason. And to think that she misunderstood Senior again. Why was she always so childish and do it in a rash? It’s all her fault, but!!

“Then why was my outdoors shooting cancelled?” She bowed her head low, pouting her lips and asked softly.

“That’s because!.” He glanced at Gui-Cheng and Zhen-Shu, wanting to say but did not know how to put it into words!.

“I remember Senior once said, we are not the only ones working in the company. But now, you want me to give up part of my job which belong to my duties, what would the others think?”

“That’s because!” Xiang-Zhe considers how to put it into words. “You might be pregnant, those jobs are not suitable for you.”

“Moreover, the team leader said that my performance is getting better and better!..” Realizing what Senior just said, she suddenly raised her head. “What did you say?”

“You¡Xare¡Xpregnant!” He repeated every single word with gentleness.

“I!!.I!!” What? Sun-Mei felt that her mind was completely blank. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Then, she quickly dragged Xiang-Zhe towards the bedroom on the second floor.

Gui-Cheng and Zhen-Shu were really dazed for a few moments.

“Did I hear correctly?” Gui-Cheng slowly turned his face towards Zhen-Shu.

“My daughter is going to be a mother?”

This lady is really blur & adorable.

* * * * * * * * * *

Closing the bedroom door quickly, Sun-Mei asked in an uneasy manner, “What did you say just now? Who’s pregnant?”

Xiang-Zhe placed his hands onto her shoulders tightly and said, “Believe me. Your menstrual cycle has been late for a few weeks.”

Sun-Mei did not know he has observed her for the past few weeks. Xiang-Zhe continued, “Nauseous, feeling tired easily, temperamental, loss of appetite! These are symptoms which can be found in the early stages of pregnancy as stated in the books.”

Sun-Mei felt really ashamed! It’s her menstrual cycle, yet Senior knows better than herself??

“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Covering her fully blushed face with both hands, she felt embarrassed and did not know what to do.

Xiang-Zhe shook his head and smiled, “I thought that is the authority of the wife. I, as a husband, should be the one waiting patiently for you to break the surprise.”

Zhen Sun-Mei, you are really stupid! Don’t even know you are pregnant! And let Senior worry about you while hiding the truth!! Sun-Mei reprimanded herself.

Staring at Sun-Mei, seeing that she was still reprimanding herself, Xiang-Zhe felt that he was melting. Pulling down her hands, adoring her, he pulled her gently towards his embrace.

“It’s all because of you! What shall I do now?” She remembered the expressions on her father and Aunty. She didn’t know how to face them later.

Looking at her with a gentle smile, he said, “What to do? Of course we have to announce the good news to them! They will definitely be very happy for us!”

“How about Senior then? Senior, are you happy?” Sun-Mei was really concerned about how he felt.

“Besides having you, I have never been so happy before!”

The slightly yellowish lights reflected the deep love for her hidden behind his eyes. The man, who has the moist long eyes lashes blinking like the feathers, keeps the heart of Sun-Mei so warm.

Holding the back of her head, he filled up all of the satisfaction and happiness like the tender of the water flowing onto her lips!!

Seems like the two elders who were eagerly waiting for the good news downstairs have to wait a while longer!!.
