Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

In confusion, she looked at the man. His looked like she owed him a lot of money and refused to pay it back.

“President Gong? Please take a seat.”

Immediately getting back to work, Si Wan occasionally frowned, nodded her appreciation or shook her head helplessly and didn’t care about Gong Siming’s constant gaze at all.

If it was in the past, however hard Si Wan tried to feign indifference, she couldn’t have continued her work so nonchalantly.

Sharp pain was spreading in Gong Siming’s heart. Sure enough, he was losing Si Wan.

Every move, angle, and expression of Si Wan was so brilliant and fascinating.

He looked at her quietly. No language was needed to obtain happiness.

When she finished her work, it was already noon.

Her empty stomach was growling a protest.

She looked up and saw Gong Siming still sitting motionlessly in the front.

Feeling a little sorry for him, Si Wan bit her lip.

“I’m sorry, President Gong, I thought you had left, but we can eat and talk if you want.”

With an indifferent and emotionless look, he grudgingly walked outside.

Following Gong Siming closely behind, Si Wan felt a little helpless.

Xiaoyu had been waiting at the elevator. At the sight of Gong Siming and Si Wan walking out together, she couldn’t help widening her eyes.

It seemed both of them were in a good mood.

Spotting Xiaoyu from the distance, Si Wan gesticulated at her with a smile and signaled to her to join them.

This move, however, brought Xiaoyu into a difficult position. Gong Siming looked extremely handsome, and that was why millions of women were anxious to dine with him.

But at the thought of the things he did to Si Wan, Xiaoyu felt irritated and forgot to care about his appearance.

Xiaoyu responded happily. Both girls walked in the front, arm in arm, and Gong Siming followed behind all alone.

When they reached the restaurant, Si Wan habitually ordered many dishes Gong Siming favored.

Finally, his facial expression softened.

Remaining in silence, he ate quietly and listened to the girls’ gossip.

In his perspective, Si Wan cared about nothing except her work. On any occasion, she would show a businesslike attitude.

He had never seen this side of Si Wan. In fact, he had once seen it, but back then he never cared to notice.

Just when they were chatting happily, Xiaoyu’s phone rang.

Without even looking, Xiaoyu hung it up and resumed her happy chitchat with Si Wan.

But it was as if her phone was under a spell. It kept on ringing despite her efforts to hang it up again and again.

Sitting next to her, Si Wan couldn’t bear it and told Xiaoyu to pick it up.

It should be someone she cared about. Otherwise, he should have been blacklisted and unable to call again.

Shooting a helpless glance at Si Wan and Gong Siming, Xiaoyu answered the phone uneasily.

“Why didn’t you answer the phone? Did Si Wan asked you to sacrifice yourself and save her ass again?”

His voice was loud enough for Gong Siming and Si Wan to hear clearly.

At the sight of Gong Siming’s frosty face and Si Wan’s titter, Xiaoyu regrettably covered the receiver.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Well, President Gong, Director Si, please excuse me, but I have to deal with this!”

After that, she dashed off like a little mustang.

Only Gong Siming and Si Wan were left in the booth. The atmosphere became as quiet as a horror film.

They tacitly lowered their heads and ate. Neither of them was willing to break the silence.

She could see out of the corners of her eyes that Gong Siming was having the food in his plate elegantly as if he was the Prince Charming in fairy tales.

At a closer look, however, his handsome face was born imposing as if he was the mythological Mars.

She felt bitterness in her heart. Wasn’t he the person she knew? He was both decent and evil. No one knew exactly what his real intention was!

That was exactly the reason why he was invincible in business, battlefields, and romance.

Also subdued by him, she had been a captive willingly for over 20 years.

She worshiped him as a lofty and exalted king, who could trample on her ardent love and broken heart at his will.

But now, it was all over. From now on, Si Wan wouldn’t live as humbly as she did.

He looked up and saw Si Wan lowering her head. Under the reflection of light, the tears were pricking Gong Siming’s eyes and heart like thin thorns.

They didn’t hurt much but made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He could neither pull them out nor make them dissolve.

“Do you like cold weapons?”

His expression remained indifferent, but his tone unwittingly softened a lot.

Si Wan looked up at Gong Siming and his serious expression. She found herself ridiculous, but this man didn’t feel awkward at all. Why should she torture herself with unpleasant thoughts?

“Yes! I love them.”

Love was a much more intense feeling than like!

“So do I!”

He sai nonchalantly as if it was only chitchat. But if others saw this, they would feel awkward!

“I love daggers the most, they are perfect for melee and very challenging!”

Si Wan talked while eating.

“Me, too!”

Unexpectedly, they shared a common hobby.

“I have many daggers, all designed by myself. Once you have time, you can come over and pick what you like. Consider it my compensation for your injury.”

If she didn’t mishear it, Gong Siming was apologizing to her.

Beyond her expectation, Gong Siming would apologize to others.

In an instant, she felt like nothing mattered at the moment. At least, it was not his intention to hurt her.

“That won’t be necessary, but those you sent me are pretty good! Besides, I rarely use them.”

Putting down the chopsticks, Si Wan wiped her mouth gracefully. Her eyes were shining while the corners of her mouth were curved upwards.

Presently Gong Siming also put down his chopsticks.

“You’re finished? Men should have more!”

Said Si Wan casually.

The hand he raised halted, then he rose and walked out.

This man was such a male chauvinist. Si Wan also rose and followed him out.

As they walked shoulder to shoulder, she reflected how persistent and stubborn she was in the past, which made things worse, and the two of them tortured each other like enemies.

Now, as she had no intention of fighting for more, she could walk with him side by side and have a normal chat.

Her heavy heart immediately felt relieved.

Her pace also became brisker, and the atmosphere was not as weird as before.

When they reached the gate of the company, Gong Siming stopped suddenly, and he turned sullen.

“If you need a certain cold weapon, just tell Hua Er, he will lead you to my arsenal.”

After that, he walked into the company without looking back.

With a hearty smile, Si Wan swallowed back her affirmative reply on the tip of her tongue.

Since she was already nonchalant, she wouldn’t fear of meeting him again.

Si Wan shook her head helplessly. Regardless of his attitude, at least she was already nonchalant, right?
