The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 517: Chapter 517 – Punishing You With Durian_1

When she heard no response, Wen Yue called out, sounding perplexed, “Dongfang, are you listening?”

In an entirely normal tone, Hai Xiaotang said, “Sorry, Dongfang Yu is asleep. I’ll have him call you back later.”

Wen Yue, who had probably not expected Hai Xiaotang to answer, fell silent for a moment and then said, “Miss Hai, it’s nothing important. It’s a business matter. Have Dongfang Yu give me a call when he wakes up.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright.” After she had said this, Hai Xiaotang hung up. Her mood grew gloomy, and no matter what, she couldn’t seem to cheer up.

She knew Dongfang Yu was planning to open a branch in B City, but hadn’t he mentioned not collaborating with the Wen Family?

Then what was the purpose of Wen Yue’s call?

Could it be that they were having some sort of covert affair under the guise of business?

Hai Xiaotang shook her head vigorously, trying to rid herself of these wild thoughts.

Dongfang Yu wouldn’t betray her. If he truly liked another woman, he could just dump her; there was no need to hide anything.

Yet, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something off between those two.

A woman’s intuition is often accurate. In any case, Hai Xiaotang was convinced that there was more to their relationship than met the eye!

Dongfang Yu didn’t wake up until the afternoon.

With no one present in the room, he got up, freshened up in the bathroom, and then went downstairs.

As he walked into the living room, he was met with a strange smell.

Hai Xiaotang was just coming out of the kitchen, holding a durian she had just peeled.

Seeing Dongfang Yu, she smiled brilliantly and asked, concern apparent in her voice, “Honey, you’re awake! How are you feeling? Are you better now?”

Dongfang Yu’s eyes flickered.

For some reason, his instincts were telling him something was off with Hai Xiaotang. As to what was off, he wasn’t sure. He just felt she was acting strange.

Masking his confusion, he nodded, “Much better, I’m fine.”

“That’s good. Hurry and come eat this freshly peeled durian!” Hai Xiaotang set the durian on the coffee table, beckoning him over, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Dongfang Yu sat down and eyed the durian with distaste, “You like eating this?”

“No, I prepared this for you.” Hai Xiaotang offered him a piece, “I worked so hard to take care of you while you were unwell. So, consider this durian as a reward for your hardship. Eat up quickly – there’s even half of it left in the kitchen! It’s all yours, see how kind I am?”

Dongfang Yu raised an eyebrow, “All for me?”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, her expression innocent, “Yes, they’re all yours! This is the same durian you kneeled on last time. I had the kitchen preserve it, and it’s just right to be eaten.”

By this point, Dongfang Yu was completely sure that something was up with Hai Xiaotang.

Pinching her nose, he scoffed, “Out with it. What kind of prank are you planning on pulling using a durian to torment me?”

Knowing full well he detested this fruit, yet insisting he eat it – if it wasn’t born out of dissatisfaction, then what was it?

Hai Xiaotang put on a heartbroken expression, “I was truly being nice to you, how could it be torment? Dongfang Yu, you have hurt my feelings! Humph, as punishment, you must finish eating the durian now!”

Dongfang Yu stared at her with amusement, “What did I do, little one, to upset you?”

Thinking about something, his eyebrows creased in suspicion, “Did I… did I call out for Lin Xinxin in my sleep again?”

Hai Xiaotang suddenly broke into an ill-omened smile, “If you dare call out her name again, I’m not just going to make you eat durian fruit. I’ll make you eat the durian rind!”
