Yan Xiuchen arrived home late in the evening. His head was aching from the prolonged meeting he just attended. He was supposed to come home earlier, wanting to welcome Xiao Rufeng upon her return, but it was impossible to ditch everything to his subordinates.
'She must already be asleep by now.' He thought as he strode towards his study, wanting to clear his mind before retiring for the night. It was a pity that he wasn't able to see Xiao Rufeng today, now that she was here. If only time would pass faster, so he would be able to see her early in the morning.
He took off his jacket and placed it on his arm, while his right hand fiddled with the top buttons of his dress shirt. He opened the door of his study and stood frozen on the spot when he found Xiao Rufeng seated on the couch, browsing the latest newspaper. She lifted her head and broke into a smile when she spotted him.
"Hey. You look tired. Long day?" Xiao Rufeng asked.
