novelMy One And Only Love
| ← Ch.178 | Ch.180 → |
In the afternoon after having tea, Xie Ming went to shopping with Mother Jin and Jin Liang as planned.
Xie Ming sat at the passenger seat as Jin Laing was driving the car while Mother Jin took her seat in the back.
Initially, she wanted to sit at back but Mother Jin insisted to sit at the back so she had no choice but to sit in the front.
Xie Ming and Mother Jin was chatting about her audition and other stuff. Xie Ming also happily answered her questions.
She liked Mother Jin. From Mother Jin, she can feel the motherly warmth that she was yearning for so long.
At that moment, Xie Ming's phone rang.
She looked down and her expressions froze seeing the name on the screen.
Seeing her shocked expression, Jin Liang leaned towards her seat and looked at the name on the screen.
His eyes widened in shock.
In the next second, he burst out in laughter.
" Haha. What the hell? Haha. How... Can you use such a cheezy name for the brother. Ah. That's so cringy. Yuck."
"Do married people call each other like this? It's so... eewww."
Xie Ming's face turned beet red from embarrassment.
The name on the screen was showing, " My one and only Love" with two hearts.
She clearly remembered that she had put his name as Liwei but how come it's changed to this.
' This damn husband. He must've done this when I was not around. '
' I need to change my password. How can he change his name on the phone and that too this one. Don't he feel any shame when he was putting his name as ' My one and only love'?'
She was fuming in anger internally.
He embarrassed her in front of the whole family in the morning by kissing her and now this.
Mother Jin tried to control her laughter after peeking on the name displaying on the phone. She hit Liang on his shoulder and said, " You. Don't tease your sister in law."
" Xie Ming, you don't bother with him. The name... It's really cute." she said to Xie Ming while holding her laugh.
Embarrassed Xie Ming wanted to hang up the phone but in the end, she swiped right, and picked the phone as she said, " Why did you call? "
She was not in the mood to talk now. He has already embarrassed her so much how can she talk in the car in front of everyone.
" What are you doing, " he asked her while signing a document in his office.
Gu Shao came to get his signature on a few documents and was startled when he heard the soft and warm tone while he was on phone.
A few minutes back, he was shouting at an employee for not doing his work right and told him to redo the report. And now he was using such a soft and warm tone while talking to the Lady Boss.
It was getting hard for him to get adjusted to Liwei's split personality.
"We're going for a shopping, " she replied Liwei's question while rubbing her temples in annoyance.
She was controlling her temper for changing the name as she can't shout at him right now.
" Oh. Really? Who else is with you?" he asked while signing another document.
His mood was bright as he has given Liang a stack of work to complete by evening so he couldn't go for the shopping with them.
She pursed her lips and said, " The same. Didn't I told you this morning?" she wanted to end this call quickly. Because as they were in the car his voice can be heard by everyone even her phone was not on speaker. Due to the silence in the car, his voice was quite loud in this atmosphere.
Jin Liwei stopped signing the document in the middle and his eyebrows furrowed.
" Is Jin Liang also going with you?" he said with a heavy tone.
" Yes, " she replied as she felt the coldness in his tone.
Liwei tightened his grip on the pen and spoke in a heavy voice, " Pass the phone to Jin Liang, I want to talk to him."
Xie Ming blinked her eyes at Jin Liang and puts the phone on speaker and pass it to him while he was driving.
She held onto the phone for him.
Jin Liang spoke while his eyes on the road, " What's up brother? You have something for me?"
" Did you complete the work I send you? I told you I want you to read the script soon and you need to record an audition video by evening? How can you go shopping leaving all the work aside?" she asked in a cold voice.
Liwei has especially arranged work for him just to make him busy so that he cannot go on the shopping. But he left everything and went shopping?
" Brother, don't worry. I have already read the script and recorded the video for an audition. I even sent the video to your mail. Didn't you see the mail yet?" he asked coolly.
Jin Liwei looked at Gu Shao and asked in a heavy voice, " Did you receive any mail from Jin Liang?"
Gu Shao hurriedly shook his head and replied, " No sir, I don't."
Jin Liwei's expressions darkened, " I didn't receive any mail. Don't lie. If you hadn't done the work, then how can you lie so shamelessly. Go home and do your work first."
" Brother, check your personal account. I have sent it on that one."
Liwei opens his email and indeed there is an mail from Jin Liang. The atmosphere suddenly turns chilly in this hot weather.
Liwei took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone, "Liang go to Global World after dropping Xie Ming and Mother at the mall, there is some emergency."
"Eh? Emergency? What emergency?"? Liang spoke when he heard his brother's words.
He talked to his manager this morning and there was nothing important and he was given a day off.
But then his brother sent him a script telling him to record an audition video for it. Despite his day off, he had to read the script and record the video.
' Now what emergency could it be?'
"Just go there. I am not giving you money to dawdling like this. You need to focus on your work. So go there when I am asking you to." Liwei said coldly.
Jin Liang frowned hearing his word.
' What does he mean by giving money like this? I am damn working to earn that money? He made it like he was giving me money for free. ' he scoffed inwardly.
Xie Ming smiled awkwardly while holding onto the phone.
' His words, were mean. How can he talk to his brother like this? I am also gonna be the artist of Global World soon? Does it mean he will treat me the same way? 'her eyes grew in nervousness.
Her husband is gonna be her boss. That is something she had never dreamed of it.
She breathed heavily.
Jin Liang saw this and looked at her pitifully.
They were in the same boat now. He could feel her insecurity. It's worse tolerating a husband with such temper than a brother.
But what can he say? Her husband is his brother.
They both have no choice but to tolerate him.
" Sigh"
