Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

”Call all the Eldorado’s shareholders and tell them to gather,” Su Zhinian said.

Cheng Qingchong was startled. She glanced at the time; it was already 10:30 pm. She asked hesitantly, ”Now?”

”Yes, now. I’m calling a shareholder’s meeting now.” After a pause, Su Zhinian continued. ”Also, call Lawyer Zhang, have him come over here as well. Tell him to prepare a stock transference form and stock purchase form.”

”Yes, CEO Su.”

…

After hanging up on Cheng Qingchong, Su Zhinian stood before the window and did not move. The crying in the bathroom gradually quietened down until there was no more. His tense heart also gradually relaxed.

Time ticked by slowly. Su Zhinian raised his arm to look at the time. Song Qingchun has been in there for an hour already, she’s still not ready yet?

After a moment of contemplation, Su Zhinian turned around to walk toward the bathroom door. He knocked on the door and called out, ”Qingchun?”

The bathroom was quiet. Other than water, there was no other sound. Su Zhinian’s heart skipped a beat before he raised his hand to knock at the door again, this time with more urgency. ”Qingchun? Have you finished showering?”

Still, his question was met only with silence. Su Zhinian frowned slightly. He was about to knock for the third time when someone knocked on the room door.

The door to the bathroom was just next to the room door. Su Zhinian pulled it open since he was just standing there. The waitress had returned with everything he had asked for.

Su Zhinian turned to look at the coffee table and nodded at it, telling the waitress non-verbally to place all the stuff there. Then, he reached out to knock on the bathroom door again. ”Qingchun, please answer if you hear me or else I’m coming in.”

Similar to before, other than the sound of rushing water, there was no response.

Su Zhinian was reminded of how flustered she had been when she raced into the bathroom earlier, and his heart was assaulted by anxiety. He turned to ask the waitress, who had placed everything on the table and was leaving, ”Is there an extra key to this door?”

”I’ll go get it now, Mr. Su, please wait for a minute,” the waitress said politely before rushing out of the room. Two minutes later, she returned with a whole ring of keys. Fishing one out, she passed it to Su Zhinian and said, ”Mr. Su, here you go.”

Su Zhinian did not say anything as he accepted the key, pushed it into the lock, and turned it. The door clicked open, and Su Zhinian returned the key to the waitress. He then pushed the door open and walked in.

The beige white tiles of the bathroom floor were covered in water, and the steam clouded everything in the bathroom. Su Zhinian closed the bathroom door softly behind him. Ignoring the fact that his leather shoes would be ruined by the hot water, he stepped deeper into the room.

He walked toward the bathtub when he finally saw Song Qingchun.

She was curled in the bathtub, and the faucet beside her was opened to its maximum. The water flowed freely even though the bathtub was already full. Water spilled out of the edge of the bathtub, forming a miniscule waterfall of sorts.

The showerhead above the bathtub was also opened to its maximum. There were several emptied shower gel bottles floating outside of the bathtub, and the tub was filled to brim with bubbles. They ran out of the tub, following the overflowing water and flooding half of the bathroom.

Seemingly not privy to his approach, Song Qingchun was holding a shower gel bottle in her hands and continued to squeeze its contents into the bathtub.
