SweetHeart in Honeyed Desire

Chapter 42

When they got home, it was almost ten o’clock. Tang Mi threw Fu Xin on the sofa and shook her goose bumps.

She always felt like she carried a corpse.

She took her pajamas and took a shower in the bathroom. When she came out, Fu Xin had already sat up from the sofa and looked at the dark sky outside the balcony with her hollow eyes.

Tang Mi walked up, and used her five fingers swaying in front of her eyes: “Are you okay?”

Fu Xin took a breath, her voice with the poet’s unique melancholy and vicissitudes: “My life is like the sky in front of me, dark and desolate.”

Tang Mi: “…”

She licked her lips and comforted her: “Everyone will experience the darkness of the workplace. Just be optimistic.”

“No, I can’t be optimistic, I decided, I have to resign!”

Fu Xin’s words were categorical. Tang Mi thought for a moment: “Your boss is really a bit too bad. If I were you, I will also resign, but if you resign, what about the debts you owe?”

Fu Xin looked up and said: “If I don’t give up the old ones, the new ones wouldn’t come. I don’t have any development when I stay in that broken company. It’s better to get out early and find a new good job!”

Tang Mi did not speak. Although Fu Xin was speaking up, but next morning, when she woke up, she would still go to work, because she owed debts.

The debtor had no right to be willful.

Fu Xin finished her own lofty ambition and slammed it on the sofa.

Tang Mi: “…”

She found a thin blanket covering Fu Xin and let her live in the living room.

After returning to the room, Tang Mi sat on the bed for a while, and took out the phone and called Luo Hao.

The phone was picked up quickly. Tang Mi was embarrassed to say: “Sorry, Mr. Luo, I called you so late this night.”

Luo Hao smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, but don’t let CEO Yu know.”

If the big boss knew that he was still on the phone with his sweetheart at night, he might deduct his half-year salary.

Tang Mi smiled at the microphone and said: “I mainly want to talk to you about the debt that Fu Xin owes you…” She said this, and felt a bit difficult to say, “That, she failed to get promoted and a salary raise. Can you wait  a little longer? “

At the end of the phone, Luo Hao frowned and asked: “Didn’t she got an interview with CEO Yu? He gave the most hotline news for  her.”

Tang Mi said: “You are right , but the credit was taken away by her superior.”

Luo Hao was silent. This kind of thing was common in the workplace. If you ran into it, you can only say that luck was not good.

Tang Mi continued: “This thing is really irritating. Fu Xin is also very emotional and has plans to resign.”

Luo Hao’s brow slightly raised: “Don’t you say that she owes a lot of debt? If she quits, what would the debtors do to collect debts?”

Tang Mi sighed: “If things really develop to this point, I can only help her first. I just saved some money this time.”

Luo Hao said: “Isn’t your money to open a dessert shop?”

“This thing can be pushed back. Those who collect debts if they won’t get the money, they will go crazy.”

Luo Hao thought for a moment: “I know, you can rest assured, I am just teasing her, I really don’t want her to pay for me.”

Tang Mi happily said: “Really? Thank you, Mr. Luo, I know you are not such a stingy person!”

Luo Hao raised his eyebrows: “So you have always thought that I am a very stingy person?”

“No, it was about the debt, hahaha.”

Luo Hao laughed and didn’t care about her: “Okay, it’s too late, you should go to bed early.”

“Okay, Mr. Luo, Goodnight.” After Tang Mi hung up the phone, she finally slept with peace.

**************

The next day, Fu Xin actually got up and went to work, but Tang Mi could see that her mood was still not good. She cut two pieces of cocoa-flavored pound bread, and poured two cups of yogurt, which were placed on the plate and brought to the living room.

“Eat something, you will feel be better when you are full.” She pushed the bread and yogurt to Fu Xin, and Fu Xin picked up the bread and ate it

Tang Mi looked at her and thought that she should tell her good news: “Right, Assistant Luo said that he doesn’t need you to pay back, aren’t you happy?”

Fu Xin’s action paused and she said, “The debt was originally for you to pay back.”

Tang Mi bowed her head to pick up the bread.

The phone on the table shook, it was an unknown number. Tang Mi hesitated when she looked at the screen, and then picked up the phone: “Hello.”

“Hello, Miss Tang.” The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the phone. The courteous and alienated tone made Tang Mi think of the wealthy women on TV. “I am Yu Yi’s mother. Are you free today ? I want to see you.”

Tang Mi’s brain was already blown up when she heard the words “Yu Yi’s mother”, and she was so flustered that Fu Xin, who was sitting opposite, noticed her strangeness.

Yu Yi’s mother waited for a while and didn’t receive her reply, then asked again: “Do you have time today?”

Tang Mi gave herself a deep breath and finally said: “Hello Ma’am, I have to work in the restaurant today. Is there anything wrong?”

Yu Yi’s mother was silent for a moment, and said: “It is not convenient to say it in the phone, I hope we can see each other, I will not delay you for too long, only a half an hour is enough.”

Tang Mi thought for a moment: “Well, we have two hours of rest in the afternoon.”

Yu Yi’s mother said: “I will send the driver to the restaurant to pick you up. I will see you in the afternoon.”

Even after Yu Yi’s mother hung up the phone, Tang Mi was just holding the phone. Fu Xin swallowed the bread in her mouth and looked at her. “What happened? Who called? Your face is pale.”

Tang Mi grabbed Fu Xin’s wrist and looked horrified: “What should I do! Yu Yi’s mother asked me to meet her!”

Fu Xin was almost caught by the bread, she openned her eyes and looked at her for a while, then stood up: “I did not expect the legendary plot to arrive so quickly!”

Tang Mi said: “What plot?”

Fu Xin held her fist in her right hand and put a soft cough. She looked at Tang Mi with a look of disdain: “There are 10 million here, you take it, and you should never appear in front of my son again.”

Tang Mi: “…”

Fu Xin was obviously stimulated by this plot, and excitedly screamed two times: “Hey! What must be experienced when you fall in love with the rich man!” she said, walking to Tang Mi and sitting down, staring at her eyes, “Promise me, if she throws the check on your face, you must pick it up and put it in your pocket! I heard that someone used this method to become a billionaire, how inspirational story!”

Tang Mi: “…”

She saw Fu Xin’s restored face, and only wanted to be alone.

After Fu Xin went to work, Tang Mi packed up the table, but her heart was inevitably scared.

Should she inform Yu Yi about this matter? She hesitated for a while, but decided to wait until she saw his mother and tell him.

She just packed up the things, and the phone on the table rang again. This time it was Bai Xiao.

Since she and Yu Yi were officially together, Bai Xiao had never contacted her again. Now she suddenly called her… Hey, was this another legendary plot?

The ex-girlfriend of the Rich man found the current girlfriend, and the ex-girlfriend said with arrogance: “Don’t think that he is serious about you, he is just playing with you!”

Tang Mi shook her head violently and smashed out the small theater filled within her brain.

The phone ringing was still lingering, and Tang Mi looked at the screen and picked it up: “Hello, Miss Bai.”

When she heard her voice, Bai Xiao smiled and said: “Sorry, I was busy during this time. When I came back, I realized that I haven’t made a cake for a long time. I don’t know if you have time today, I can’t be lazy anymore. “

The tone of Bai Xiao was very relaxing, and it was no different from the previous treatment of her, which made Tang Mi slightly relieved. But today, she had already made an appointment with Yu Yi’s mother. She had no energy to teach her to make a cake.

Tang Mi sighed softly and said: “Sorry, I have already made an appointment today, maybe another day?”

Bai Xiao’s eyes moved and asked sharply: “Who are you meeting? Why do you sound so depressed?”

“Oh, no one…” Tang Mi buried her head for a while, and then said, “In fact, it is Yu Yi’s mother. Suddenly she wants to meet me. I am nervous about it.”

Bai Xiao raised her brow and thought about it and asked: “Did you tell Yu Yi?”

“No, after all, I don’t know what it is.”

Bai Xiao said with relief: “You don’t have to worry too much. Yu Yi’s mother is not a bad person. Since you have something today, I will find you again next time.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Bai Xiao smiled and said: “You taught me to make a cake, how can you thank me?”

Tang Mi said: “Thank you for letting me teach you to make a cake.”

Bai Xiao was stunned and laughed and said nothing.

After hanging up the phone, she thought about it and changed her clothes and went out.

When Yu Yi’s mother saw Bai Xiao standing outside the door, she smiled and invited her into the door: “Why are you suddenly coming, what’s wrong?”

She held Bai Xiao down on the sofa, busy telling the servant to pour tea and take some snacks. Bai Xiao looked at her and smiled lightly: “Aunt Yu, don’t be so polite, I came here today, mainly because I want to talk to you about the situation about Yu Yi.”

The smile on Yu Yi’s mother’s face was stiff, and then she held Bai Xiao’s hands and asked, “Hey, did you hear the rumors outside? You don’t have to worry, those are definitely done by someone deliberately, you think about it, how can Yu Yi like the staff in the restaurant?”

When Bai Xiao was silent, she said to Yu Yi’s mother: “In fact, I heard about it from my brother before, Yu Yi told him that he fell in love with Tang Mi.”

Yu Yi’s mother’s face suddenly changed, and she looked at Bai Xiao and asked, “Did he say personally?”

Bai Xiao nodded, Yu Yi’s mother was so angry that she stood up from the sofa: “Grandma Wang, call Yu Yi, let him come back to see me soon!”

Bai Xiao saw her like this, and quickly followed up and stood up: “Don’t be angry, aunt Yu, it’s just a matter of falling in love about Yu Yi, it’s a normal thing.”

“Falling love with the staff in the restaurant?!” Yu Yi’s mother unconsciously raised the voice, and Yu Yi had always been very good in her heart.

Even if he did not join the family company, he ran out to work hard and also turned the Yu Group into a business as a well-known food kingdom.

So how can she accept that Yu Yi fell in love with a restaurant employee?

Bai Xiao licked her lips and looked at her: “Aunt Yu, do you know Tang Mi?”

“Why should I know her? Our Yu Yi is going to marry you!”

Bai Xiao sighed and said: “Aunt Yu, feelings can not be forced, you are so angry because you do not understand Tang Mi. I have been in contact with her, she is very good to get along, she does things very seriously, very responsiblely. Maybe you don’t know, she has always been my pastry teacher. Every time I go to class, she is very patient in explaining to me. I have learned a lot from her.”

Yu Yi’s mother’s slender eyebrows gathered slightly. She looked at Bai Yu: “What about this? Even if she is a good girl, does it mean that Yu Yi should be with her?”

Bai Xiao said: “She is still a very good pastry chef. The cake she makes can make you fall in love with it, if you take a bite.” She said that, and smiled at Yu Yi’s mother. “I know that aunt Yu also likes cakes. If you have an opportunity, you should really taste the cake she made, its just like magic, it sells very well in Sweet Dream.”

Yu Yi’s mother was silent, and held Bai Xiao down on the sofa: “Hey, even if Tang Mi is as you said, the character is good and capable, but you also have these, and it’s no worse than her, why does Yu Yi want to choose her instead of you?”

“Because Yu Yi likes her.” Bai Xiao took hold of Yu Yi’s mother’s hands and looked at her seriously. “Aunt Yu, you should be very clear. Yu Yi meets a person he likes is not a easy thing, so I hope that he can be with someone he likes.”

This sentence seemed to touch Yu Yi’s mother, she did not speak again with a calm face.

Bai Xiao said: “Aunt Yu, I will not marry Yu Yi, but this will not affect the cooperation between Bai’s family and Yu’s family, and Yu Yi will still be the best partner in our business.”

When she finished, she stood up from the sofa and said with Yu Yi’s mother: “All I want to say is, I hope you can consider what I said, goodbye.”

After Bai Xiao left, Yu Yi’s mother still sat on the sofa. After a while, the doorbell rang and Yu Yi came in from the outside.

Yu Yi’s mother looked up at him and did not speak. Yu Yi asked: “Why are you looking for Tang Mi?”

Yu Yi’s mother laughed, her voice was a bit ironic: “She complained to you?”

Yu Yi said: “She didn’t say anything, but you were so anxious to call me back, isn’t it for this?”

Yu Yi’s mother exhaled and got up and went to the dining room: “Don’t say this first, since you came back, have a meal by the way, I will let grandma Wang steam squid for you.”

Yu Yi looked at her back and suddenly said: “In fact, I have never liked to eat steamed squid.”

Yu Yi’s mother paused and turned to look at him.

Yu Yi moved his legs and walked toward the dining room: “I just didn’t have any food that I liked so much, so you think I like to eat steamed squid. I have no objection.”

He pulled the chair and sat down at the table. “But recently I started to have something I like to eat, grandma Wang, is there silver cod? Make a fried silver squid.”

Grandma Wang worked in the Yu’s family for more than 20 years. It was the first time she heard Yu Yi say what he wanted to eat. She was so excited that her tears almost fell: “Okay, I will do it as soon as possible!”

Yu Yi’s mother stood in the same place for a while before she came to sit opposite him.

When they were eating, neither of them spoke. Yu Yi’s mother had half eaten and suddenly put down the chopsticks. “Even if I agree with you and Tang Mi, your father will not agree.”

Yu Yi said: “I will tell him this thing. His disagreement will not affect the final result. But if you want to know Tang Mi, I can introduce you, so don’t sneak up on her. “

Yu Yi’s mother looked at him and took the chopsticks to continue eating.

Tang Mi’s nerves were tight today. She was nervous that she was going to see his mother. She was curious about how much amount she would give if she really gave a check to her.

Would it be a blank check, and then fill it out by yourself?

She thought, and was still a little excited. After all, she grew up so old, there was no one who has ever used money to smash her.

During the rest in afternoon, a black car was parked on time at the restaurant entrance. Tang Mi told the manager before, and then she went outside after changing her clothes.

It seemed that the driver saw her coming out, the co-driver’s window slowly descended. The driver twisted half of his body and said to her: “Miss Tang Mi, please get on.”

Tang Mi took a hiccup and nervously swallowed the word “hello”.

She quickly opened the rear door, and then was dumbfounded… How could Yu Yi be sitting inside? !

Yu Yi looked at her sideways and faintly said: “Get on.”

The big boss’s order, she did not dare to defy, and quickly got on the car.

After the door was closed, the car drove out. Tang Mi looked at Yu Yi beside her, curiously said: “Why did you come?”

Yu Yi said: “Why not it’s my mother , are you disappointed?”

“…no.”

Tang Mi felt that CEO Yu, who is joking, was so cute!

After Yu Yi looked at her for a while, he asked: “My mother asked you to meet, why didn’t you tell me?”

“Oh… because I don’t know why she is looking for me, so I plan to tell you after I see her, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Yu Yi’s eyes moved: “What is it for her to find you? To use money to make you stay away .”

Tang Mi opened her mouth in surprise. “She will really use money?!”

Yu Yi frowned: “Why do you seem so happy?”

“Who is not happy with money?”

“Even if the price is for you to break up with me?”

“Well, this…” Tang Mi showed a distressed expression. “It depends on how much she will offer.”

The atmospheric pressure of Yu Yi was low, and he approached her and threatened: “You dare.”

Tang Mi laughed out: “Why did’t you ask, I like your money or like you? I always look forward to it.”

Yu Yi slightly raised his eyebrows and asked: “So, do you like my money or like me?”

Tang Mi took his arm and leaned her head up: “No, I just like your face!”

The driver in the front row did not hold back and finally laughed out.

Yu Yi looked at him, and the driver immediately said: “I’m sorry, CEO Yu, I didn’t hear anything!”

Yu Yi regained his gaze and raised his left hand and rubbed Tang Mi’s head: “If my parents look for you again in the future, inform me at first.”

“Oh.” Tang Mi nodded her head. “So, will I never see your parents?”

Yu Yi chuckled: “Of course not, I will officially introduce you to them, so don’t sneak up like this.”

“Okay, I know.”

Yu Yi rubbed her soft black hair, as if he had thought of something, he pulled his arm out: “I have something for you.”

Tang Mi blinked: “What?”

Yu Yi took out a delicate little box from the suit pocket and handed it to Tang Mi: “Open it.”

Tang Mi could not wait to open the box, inside was a silver necklace, a female figure in the middle, Tang Mi looked carefully, and it was even a little similar to herself.

“This is made according to your photo, followed by an abbreviation of your name.”

Tang Mi listened to Yu Yi saying , hurried up and looked at it, there was really a letter of abbreviations of “Tang Mi”, there is a small row of English below, engraved with “heart”.

“It’s so beautiful!” Tang Mi looked up at Yu Yi and her eyes sparkled. “What festival is today, why are you gifting me this?”

“If I want to give you something, I don’t need to pick any holiday.” Yu Yi took the necklace from her hand and set her hair aside. “Turn over, I will help you wear it.”

Tang Mi turned around. When the cold necklace touched her skin on the neck, Tang Mi shook subconsciously: “Is this expensive?”

“It can be worth money, but you can’t put it for sale.”

Tang Mi couldn’t help but smile: “This idea is good!”

Yu Yi pressed her, and took a bite on her small earlobe: “I dare you to try it.”

Tang Mi’s ear was red.

Yu Yi smiled and helped her buckle the necklace: “Okay done.”

When Tang Mi came back, she was a bit awkward and changed the topic: “Where are we going?”

“Go to the afternoon tea.” Yu Yi said that, he looked at the necklace on her neck and was quite satisfied. “Right, I heard that you have been worrying about the debt of your roommate recently?”

Tang Mi’s eyebrows moved: “Did you hear about this from assistant Luo ?”

Yu Yi nodded. “Well, you don’t have to worry about this. I listened to Luo Hao that he helped your roommates pay off the debts owed.”

Tang Mi took two seconds to be surprised with her opened big eyes: “What dud you say?”

At the same time, Fu Xin also asked Luo Hao with the same tone and expression: “What did you say?”

Luo Hao smiled, and the smile fell into Fu Xin’s eyes. “I mean, I am your biggest creditor now.”

Fu Xin: “…”

The plot was too fast and too ridiculous, her heart can’t stand it!
