Chapter 401 - A New Scandal
While walking back from dinner, the newlyweds continued discussing their plans for tomorrow.
It seemed that there was a local market and a few sightseeing places worth checking out. Moreover, the hotel's receptionist had suggested a few interesting activities and they planned to look at it another day.
As they entered the bedroom, Lu Xun's phone started to ring. Seeing that it was from Assistant Bei Yuan, Lu Xun picked up the phone and walked over to the sofa.
Song Xing Xing watched her husband and sighed. The two were on their vacation but he was still busy with work.
Thinking about this, Assistant Bei Yuan was also quite pitiful as he had to manage a lot of things for Lu Xun.
However, she could not deny that she do enjoy the serious look on his face as he was talking about business. She watched him from a distance for a while before deciding not to disturb him.
Putting on her shawl, Song Xing Xing walked to the balcony and sit down on the rattan lounge chair to enjoy the night view at the beach.
The wind blew gently and the soft rustling of the coconut trees could be heard.
From where she was seated, Song Xing Xing could see the stars scattered in the sky and the blinking of a ship distances away.
The atmosphere gave her comfort and make her feel a little lazy.
Her stomach was full and the wind was just nice. After watching the view for a while, Song Xing Xing gradually fell asleep.
She only stirred from her sleep when she felt something warm touching her cheek. As she opened her eyes, Lu Xu's face appeared in front of her and he did not look too happy.
"Why did you sleep here?"
"It was unintentional. I was going to look at the view." Song Xing Xing pouted and flashed him an adorable look so that she won't get scolded.
Just as she had expected, the look on his face turned gentler when he looked at her.
"The wind is getting colder. Let's go inside."
Song Xing Xing stretched up both hands at him and blinked.
His brow rose and Lu Xun made a gesture wanting to pull her up. However, Song Xing Xing wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down instead.
His body was pressing on hers. When he looked up, his wife was smiling mischievously at him before she gave him a peck on his lips.
"Let's stay here and look at the view for a while," Song Xing Xing said. "With you beside me, I won't be cold."
Lu Xun wanted to argue but his resolution faded when he saw the look on her face.
Song Xing Xing shifted in her seat to let him sit down. Just like that, the two of them sat at the lounge, hugging each other while enjoying the scenery outside.
It was not sure who was the one who had started it, but soon, the couple's breathing turned heavier and the air around them turned hotter.
Lu Xun looked at the person in his embrace for a long time. Her eyes were a little hooded and there was a tinge of pink on her cheek.
He watched as she raised her gaze and was not surprised to see the hint of lust in her eyes.
All of a sudden, the scene at the restaurant appeared in his mind. His throat rolled as he traced her slightly opened lips with his finger.
Lu Xun stood up suddenly and carried her into the room. Closing the sliding door, he then moved to the bed and the two of them started to roll on the mattress together.
The night was still early and the newlyweds were not in a hurry to explore each other.
...
The next morning, Song Xing Xing stirred in her sleep and stretched her hand to hug her husband in reflex.
A deep frown appeared on her face when she could not find the person she was looking for. She rolled around in bed and squinted as the sunlight shone on her face.
She looked around and finally heard his voice outside the room.
Song Xing Xing wrapped her body with the thick blanket and walked over to find her husband. Just as she had thought, the man was seated on the sofa while talking on the phone in a low voice.
She leaned on the door frame and watched him from his back as he continued to speak in a low voice.
It was only after the call has ended that she tiptoed over to his side. Song Xing Xing gave a peck on his cheek and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Her chin rested on his shoulders. "Good morning."
Lu Xun moved his head to look at her and smiled. "Good morning." Seeing the languid look on her face, he could not help but lean over to peck on her lips.
"Some trouble at work?"
"Hmm..." Lu Xun removed her arms around his neck and pulled her over to sit on his lap.
"What's wrong."
"Nothing much." Lu Xun ran his fingers on her hair, helping to smoothen her tangled hair. He pondered for a while and tapped his fingers on his phone screen. "It's related to Huo Yun Chen and your friend, Miss Xia. There's a new scandal."
Song Xing Xing sat up straight and looked at her husband with a puzzled look on her face. "What happened to them?"
Lu Xun showed her the email that someone had sent to him. It was reported that Celebrity Huo Yun Chen was seen dragging a woman into the hotel room. Huo Yun Chen's face was clearly photographed but the woman had her head down and the photographer could not get a clear look at her face.
Song Xing Xing looked at the picture provided by the reporter and thought that the woman beside Huo Yun Chen was a little familiar.
Although her face could not be seen clearly, Song Xing Xing could still recognize her well.
"Isn't this is... Xia Yu?"
"Mhmm..." Lu Xun nodded. "Someone sent this picture to Director Fei. The news hasn't come out yet but as soon as it came out, the PR department will do their best to suppress this news."
Her eyes narrowed as she inspected the photo further. "This place... isn't it the Orchid Hotel in Y City?" Her eyes flashed as she saw the dress that Xia Yu wore.. "I remember that Xia Yu was wearing this same day at our wedding banquet."
