章 31: The End of the "Cold War" 2

Kazuki's mind went blank and he was easily dragged to the second floor. They were near their rooms when he finally snapped out from his daze. Heyanked his hands away from Wu Hexie's grasp.

"Wu Hexie! Stop whatever you are doing. I'm not going inside. I can't believe you're one of those...girls!" Kazuki spat angrily. He can't believe she was seduc--

"B-Boss please! You haven't even read the business proposal yet! Give me a chance!"

"Huh? Business proposal?" Kazuki's voice softened. Wu Hexie thankfully missed his implied message.

"B-Boss, I beg you to carefully read my business proposal. You don't have to come into my room, stay here I'll just go print the papers. I don't have the original copy, I think I left it at Dad's office." Hexie ran to her room, but Kazuki followed.

"Boss, you didn't have to come inside my messy room..." Hexie was surprised when he entered her room.

He was very reluctant earlier. He must be a germaphobe, she deduced. The way he rubbed the part of his hand that she held earlier. She took note not to touch him inthe future.

And now that she thinks about it, her study table is a mess. Her medical books and notes are everywhere.

"No, I insist. Sorry I raised my voice earlier. Hopefully you would never offer any other guy to enter your room, we're practically strangers you know." Kazuki huffed.

"It's okay Boss. I understand. You will probably the only guy who can enter my room, as this house is yours. Unless my little devil brother or your sweet little brother visits. Anyways, please sit down anywhere you like Boss and make yourself comfortable..."

Hexie grabbed her laptop from her red backpack and connected it to the printer.

As she was busy, Kazuki on the other hand was watching her. He shook his head at his previous thoughts and actions.

What was he thinking! He couldn't believe he almost lost his composure earlier. He's currently feeling a surge of emotions today.

Should he be glad that Wu Hexie was finally talking to him? Or was it because she said he would be the only guy with permission to enter this room? But why should he be glad? Yet he was also feeling very guilty. He was very confused with himself.

"I have drafted these back when I was in Senior High School. I really wanted to help my family's business even though I chose Medicine instead of Business. This particular business proposal have undergone a series of revisions with my Dad's help..." Wu Hexie started talking.

"I didn't really have someone in mind to be our business partners with this proposal, but I found out that our marriage was because of our connection in the business of Techonologies and Sciences. So I thought, why not ask my husband to be my business partner? Haha!"

Kazuki looked at Wu Hexie who was still on her back printing some papers as he put his hand on his chest. The words 'Our Marriage' and 'My Husband' sounded weird to him especially when it was from that red haired girl's mouth. What's happening to him?

"I heard CE Technologies produce high quality phones, laptops and computers, so this proposal would make sense...well hopefully hehe..." This time Wu Hexie looked back and smiled for a second then continued sorting the papers again.

But it was enough for Kazuki to see how sincere she was towards him. This business proposal wasn't just about money and business, it was her way of establishing a connection with him.

"Okay~ It's finally done! Here, Boss! Please read them carefully," Wu Hexie gave him a thick stack of papers.

"You seriously made these?" He arched an eyebrow. Hexie sat down on her bed while facing him as he was elegantly sitting on the chair of the vanity table.

"The ideas are mine, the fancy words are from Dad. Uncle Huiliang also helped especially on the Smartphone, Computer Games and Mobile Applications part..."

"Fine. I will thoroughly read this. Then I'll give you my answer," Kazuki said and got up.

"And start packing up for the long weekend. We'll leave after school tomorrow. Good night."

Kazuki finally got out of the room and slid unto his.

The night was once again tranquil. The night breeze was neither cold nor hot. It was a perfect time to gaze into the beautiful moon.

But nevermind the moon, Nanny Lin saw and heard the young couple's exchange in the kitchen from the garden where she was sitting.

Then Nanny Lin saw how her Third Young Lady dragged the Young Master towards the second floor. And she happily reported it to both mothers. Who knew it would be her young mistress that would initiate first?

"Ahh...to be young and energetic! Reminds me of myself when I was in my peak!" Nanny Lin giggled to herself as she went on her way to her resting chambers as her work for today was done.
