Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep

Chapter 219 - A Plan For A Surprise



Xie Eun returned home in a mood worse than the one in which she had left causing Aunt Su to stare at the girl questioningly as pots and pans were banged about. Well, she would have understood if the girl was cooking something but the food was on the table...Aunt Su winced at another loud bang and finally called Xie Eun to the table. Quietly the meal was served and Xie Eun chomped on it angrily. Even the tastiest dishes seemed to be unable to cool her down. Aika had seemingly sensed her foul mommy\'s mood and was now sleeping like an angel instead of the little she-devil she had been last night.

Seeing that Xie Eun was actually stabbing the food on her plate and not eating anything, Aunt Su cleared her throat and asked," Why are you so angry? Did someone steal your treasure?"

Xie Eun looked at Aunt Su and pouted," No. I just had a bad encounter and even though I was the winner, I felt no joy. Without Yu Seok, nothing is fun. I want to tell him everything that happens with me but when he is away, life is just colorless! Food was supposed to be my first love. But the food is also not tasty. We have been together foe so long now Aunt Su, then why is this feeling increasing instead of decreasing? Isn\'t passion supposed to fade? But every time we are separated even for a while it feels as if I am missing him more and more. And I have nothing to distract me Also. My company\'s work is going well without me. Aika is also more settled. I don\'t know what to do with myself!"

Picking up the plate of untouched food, Aunt Su smiled and said," That is what happens when you are deeply in love. Time has nothing to do with the fading of love. Now, my husband and I, we were hardly together for a few years before he went to war and never returned. I still miss him to this day."

"Aww. Aunt Su!" Xie Eun stood up and hugged Aunt Su from behind as the two women sighed with sadness. But before the atmosphere could get too melancholy, Aunt Su commented," Well, if you are missing him so much, you could just go and surprise him. Even if he is working, he would be coming back to the hotel for a while right? You can see him then. And you can surprise him too sometimes right?"

Perking up at this suggestion, Xie Eun squealed and replied," Aunt Su, you are the best! You always have he best ideas. I already have his itinerary. Let me look it up."

Happily, Xie Eun grabbed the plate that Aunt Su had placed on the side and got to booking the tickets and hotel. A little while later, Xie Eun threw her hands up in the air and stretched, calling out," Aunt Su! I hope you haven\'t unpacked yet! We are going on a holiday! If you have already unpacked, then you need to re pack!"

Hearing this, Aunt Su frowned and protested," What will I do there. You youngsters must go!"

"No, no, no! We are all going together!"

On another side of the city, a man smiled happily as he recounted the events of the day. Picking up the whiskey on his side, he sipped at it leisurely as he leaned back on the rocking chair. An open laptop was placed on a table in front on him. He re read the words that were written on the screen before frowning a bit. There was something still missing.

Just then, the phone on the table started to vibrate and he answered it distractedly. A voice on the other side answered," Sir, Chairwoman Xie has just booked tickets to go to country B for early in the morning. Would you like me to make arrangements for you?"

Hearing this Lee Jong let out a small smile before he said," Yes. Do it. And I will need some more thigs done. I will be sending the instructions in a while. Follow them carefully and if you make a mistake, let me tell you, I will not let you survive in the industry anymore. Understood?"

The other person reassured Lee Jong hurriedly before disconnecting. Lee Jong stood up from his chair, shut his laptop and walked back to his bedroom. Opening the closet door he leaned against it and sighed," What is this? I wanted to use this opportunity and now you are running away? Do you think you can escape me? I will simply follow you, beautiful Xie Eun. And it is a good thing that we will be somewhere outside this boring setting. And your husband\'s presence will make this challenge even more interesting. "

Picking up the clothes he, threw them haphazardly onto the bed. Taking out the bag, he chucked them into it, before walking out of the room. Once the packing was done, Lee Jong switched off his phone and fell on the bed. He would have to leave without telling Joe about this or the man would obstruct him. So the best plan was to do first and tell him later. Poor Joe. He was going to come to pick him up tomorrow and be so disappointed. Playing the sounds of soothing crickets, Lee Jong slept peacefully, looking forward to the upcoming chase.

Early in the morning, an excited Xie Eun checked in for the flight while little Aika stared around wide eyed. As they boarded the plane, Xie Eun was careful to send a voice message to Yu Seok to let him know that they were doing well. They had been playing phone tag for now and she did not want to risk that he guess something when he knew that her phone was switched off. At least it was only a few hours flight...

But the poor Lee Jong was thrown into a mess because for the first time his agent had shown some forethought and locked Lee Jong inside his own home...
