"No! Five years is too long!" She exclaimed, crossing her arms this time. "Four months!"

    He was quiet for a while, raising an amused brow at her. Was she bargaining? Then sure, two can play the game. "Four years."

    She bit her lower lip and continued to bargain, "One year."

    "Three years and a half. Take it or leave it."

    As she gazed into his hardened look, she knew that it was the final bargain. If she didn''t take it then he would not give her a card of her own. Shi Enxi could have just gone and open one for herself but applying for a card like her husband''s was not that easy. Besides, if her husband was against it, he could make things harder for her and the process for it will take longer than expected. She didn''t want to use her own money to pay the bank. She was still planning to use her husband''s money all the way.

    "Fine. Three years." She said in defeat.

    "Great." A grin crept upon his lips after hearing her words. "Since this will be your first day-"

    "The first day will be the moment I receive the card." She quickly said, cutting his sentence off.

    "Alright. Let''s do it that way." Lu Mello didn''t have any problem with that. He took his phone and sent a message to someone who could process the card under his wife''s name. After sending the message, he kept his phone and faced her, eyeing her dangerously, "Now then, I want my reward for working hard."

    She blinked a few times and stammered, "R-right now?"

    "Of course," he lowered his head, his eyes landing on the tent on his pants. "It''s your fault that he woke up."

    As she looked at the bulge, she ended up gulping unconsciously. "We''re at your office," she said, her eyes still locked on his tent.

    "And I''m currently free." He cupped her chin and made her face him, A s.e.xy smirk plastered on his lips, "Don''t it excite you, sweetheart? Doing something naughty inside my office?"

    A light flashed in her eyes, the side of her lips curling up as she snickered back at him. "Then we have to make sure no one''s going to disturb us, dear husband." She eyed the door which was unlocked.

    Just before Lu Mello could say something about it, they were interrupted when the telephone in his desk began ringing.

    "Aren''t you going to get it?" She asked, raising a brow, smirking at her.

    "That can wait."

    "Really?"

    The phone continued to ring and it began getting on his nerve. Just when they were about to spice things up, why were they suddenly being disturbed?

    "We''ll continue this after."

    Shi Enxi inwardly sighed in relief at the timing. When she felt his arms loosen around him, she got up and moved to sit beside him, straightening her disheveled blouse.

    On the other hand, Lu Mello g.r.o.a.n.e.d and was instantly put in a bad mood because of the sudden disturbance. He got up and went towards the desk to answer the call. Liu Ying''s voice was heard on the other line, "Sir, your sister, Lu Xingyan is here. She''s heading there."

    His sister? He sighed heavily. If lounging didn''t call, his sister might end up seeing something she shouldn''t.

    "Alright." He ended the call and turned to his wife, "Entertain my sister, will you? I have to deal with this problem you caused me."

    Shi Enxi giggled softly and retorted, "Take your time, darling."

    "It will be easier if I had your help tho."

    Lu Xingyan entered the room only to see Shi Enxi, holding the same book she had earlier and was reading it. She lifted her head and looked at her, a small smile forming on her lips.

    "Xiao Xing, what brought you here?" Shi Enxi asked calmly, closing the book she was holding.

    "I''m here to see my brother... And you?"

    "Me too."

    "Where is he?"

    "He''s at the restroom. He had a bad stomach so it might take a while before he comes out." She said as an excuse. "Anyway, why don''t you have a seat while we wait?"

    Lu Xingyan went and took a seat on the couch that was located opposite her sister-in-law''s. "How are you feeling lately?"

    Shi Enxi knew what she meant so she smiled at her concern, "I''m fine, thank you for your help." Now that she thought of it, she wasn''t really able to thank Lu Xingyan properly. If it wasn''t for her, she would be back in Japan and would probably still be sulking in a hotel with Xia Liqin visiting her from time to time just to ask her for money. She would still be confused and broken.

    Back then, she did say that she wanted to spend time alone, away from everyone just for a break. She was planning to come back. And Lu Mello was already willing to give her time to cool off. The only mistake she did was when she disappeared without saying a word to everyone including her husband. She made others think that she was already dead after she woke up but who could blame her? After waking up from that miracle, the soul that entered her was someone from the past, her past self with her memories intact.

    "Anyway, are you here to discuss something important to my husband?" Shi Enxi asked curiously. It made her wonder why she came all of a sudden.

    Lu Xingyan hesitated but decided to tell Shi Enxi about the truth about her family. Her sister-in-law already knew that Lu Mello was just like her so it was only proper to include her and let her know the situation, of the truth about the Lu family. "Yes, it''s important..."

    If it''s important then she would have to leave the room... "I can give you both some privacy later and-"

    "You don''t have to leave." Lu Xingyan interrupted. "You''re my sister-in-law... And after what happened, you have the right to know the truth."
