My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 631 - 026:

After Yun Yisheng ’hitched up’ with the wealthy Lu Xize, he was naturally the happiest, especially after seeing the style of his family villa and the home facilities, which were simply the house he had dreamed of.

Most importantly, Lu Xize had a great personality and could accompany him in playing video games and basketball, and his skills weren’t lacking in any aspect. Including discussing some exercises and test questions, he could talk with him as if they were on the same wavelength. He felt a keen sense of regret for not meeting Lu Xize earlier.

He occasionally regretted why he impulsively opened up his world, almost missing out on such a noble person, and nearly let his sister miss out on her own happiness.

After staying at Lu Xize’s place for about a week, Yun Yisheng started to experience the benefits, especially playing games which were evenly matched, while playing basketball spurred his ambition and drive when he was thrashed.

By the second week, Lu Xize began to make demands on him. Competing with him wasn’t impossible; he had to meet the requirements he set, which were related to his bad habits in life, including skipping classes and disdain for school.

In just over a week, Lu Xize inadvertently conducted a couple of psychological interventions with him. The effects, while not significant in just over a week, still resulted in some changes. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At least that week he didn’t skip any classes, he no longer resisted attending classes and doing homework psychologically. Although he still thought about gaming daily, he was willing to complete assignments and papers as long as Lu Xize asked him to.

He was gradually helping Yun Yisheng change, but his dates with Yun Xi were not delayed at all. Every day he gave Yun Xi surprises in various ways. They went from being happy rivals to sweet lovers as if in a dream, without any premonition, yet all of it was meticulously planned by Lu Xize.

Yun Xi’s mood became increasingly pleasant, seemingly softer than before, less irritable, with more patience towards everything and full of smiles with everyone.

This made people around her, especially Jiang Xinrui, somewhat unaccustomed.

Clearly, some things weren’t done well or were done wrong by her. Usually, Yun Xi would have scolded her harshly, but now, after seeing her mistakes, she just waved her hand with a smile, saying ’it’s okay,’ and gently advised her to correct it, even encouraging her to be careful and not sloppy. This made Jiang Xinrui wonder if she was possessed by some spirit during this period.

"Director Yun, are you... okay?" Jiang Xinrui cautiously asked as she took the folder from her hand.

Yun Xi looked up at her in confusion: "Huh? What could be wrong with me? What’s up?"

Jiang Xinrui shook her head, smiling awkwardly at her: "No... just think you’re a little different recently."

"Huh? Different? How am I different?" Yun Xi raised her eyebrows with a smile, put down the pen in her hand, crossed her arms, and curiously asked.

"Uh... can’t really put my finger on it, just think you’re different from usual. Everyone is talking about how you’ve changed so quickly, and they sent me to ask if everything is alright." Jiang Xinrui had been with Yun Xi for many years, and she knew her temperament well. Now with so many changes, she found it unusual, especially since Yun Xi usually wouldn’t reveal an issue even if something was bothering her. Even if she was upset, she’d still appear cheerfully, although her attitude might seem strange.

Yun Xi chuckled, shaking her head: "I’m fine, I’m great. Don’t worry so much, just focus on your work, and make sure not to repeat such simple mistakes again, because... such mistakes shouldn’t appear at all, understand?"

Jiang Xinrui grinned, nodding: "Yeah, I can guarantee that won’t happen again."

"Alright, get busy!"

"Okay, then... are you really okay?"

"Naturally, do I look like something’s wrong or seem unusual?"

"Not really..."

"Alright, hurry up and finish your work! It’s almost quitting time, in about an hour. Do you want to work overtime? But I must tell you, mistakes like this leading to overtime won’t earn you any overtime pay!" Seeing her hesitant look, Yun Xi understood what she meant. She was concerned but unsure how to express it.

"Oh, I’ll get to work now."

"Mm, go!"

Jiang Xinrui took a couple of steps toward the door, then stopped and turned back, saying: "Director Yun, even though we are superiors and subordinates in the company, I still think we’re friends. You can always talk to me if you’re feeling down."

Yun Xi was taken aback, then smiled warmly. Over the years, her relationship with Jiang Xinrui had already developed from superiors and subordinates to a normal friendship.

But such a feeling was quite nice too; at least knowing someone cared about and worried for her was something Yun Xi found quite precious about this unique friendship.

"Okay, I know, don’t worry!" Yun Xi gave her a reassuring and gentle smile.

Watching Jiang Xinrui leave the office, Yun Xi took a deep breath, pulled a mirror from the drawer beside her, looked at herself in the mirror, puckered her lips, held her face with one hand, and patted it, speaking to herself: "Have I been acting that out of the ordinary lately? Even they noticed, be more restrained, more restrained."

Just as she put the mirror back into the drawer, the phone on the desk rang with a pleasant ringtone. The caller ID was Lu Xize’s, and upon seeing the name, Yun Xi’s eyes sparkled, her mouth involuntarily curved upward.

Without even thinking, Yun Xi picked up the phone, her voice tinged with excitement: "Hello...?"

"When do you get off work?"

"In an hour." Yun Xi replied sweetly: "Why? Are you done with work?"

"Yeah, just finished, sent off the last patient for today, and called you right away." Lu Xize responded softly, glancing at his wristwatch: "An hour to go, what would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll make reservations in advance and then pick you up, okay?"

"Hmm... I’d like Japanese food." Yun Xi considered before replying.

"Which restaurant?"

"No preference, just pick one yourself!"

"Okay, I’ll come pick you up then."

"Actually, you could just send me the address, and I can come myself."

"No, I just want to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile: "Alright! Then let me know via WeChat or call me when you arrive!"
