CHAPTER 11 : WIFE
1326 Words
That unusual morning made Rein get a headache. Sitting together with Jiangli in the same car made him feel uncomfortable but he had no choice since they were going to the same location.
He massaged his temple, his head had been aching the moment he saw Jiangli and he had been smelling this kind of strange scent that he couldn't even trace the source but upon sitting in the car, it was stronger and more irritable.
He frowned and turned to Jiangli, "What kind of perfume are you wearing?" he was a bit angry
Jiangli who was reading some documents regarding a deal turned to him, "Perfume?" he smiled, "I'm not fond of wearing any perfume."
That made Rein squint his brows, but he was sure that this strange scent is coming from him but since the man isn't good to ask about anything, he turned away signaling to end the conversation.
He turned to see through the car window when he felt someone leaning towards the crevice of his neck.
His eyes shot wide open seeing Jiangli seemingly sniffing his neck, "You..." he lifted his hand to push him but Jiangli caught it effortlessly.
He buried his nose on Rein's neck just to sniff him deeply. Rein flushed red and was cursing him nonstop.
The driver could only avert his gaze from the mirror which was reflecting the two.
Jiangli then withdrew his face and stared at Rein's reddened face. "You're so girly, I could still smell this faint but sweet fragrance coming from you," he said
This time, Rein reddened, "I'm not wearing any perfume." he said coldly
Jiangli smirked and went back to sit in his previous position, he fixed his coat as they finally entered the Farg industrial area.
He said, "I'm not talking about a perfume but your natural scent."
"What..." Rein was cut off when the car stopped right in front of a huge, tall building. It's the main building of the Fargon industry.
Several bodyguards in the black suit were waiting for them together.
They got off and were greeted by the Farg representative.
"Good day Mr. Houston, Mr. Valdir."
Rein didn't take his surname.
"This way please." they were guided inside towards the hall where the launching event is about to start and was greeted by several influential people that were exclusively invited.
Fargon is now launching their new products, joining the car industry with their newly designed products that have more efficiency and stable function compared to the commercial ones.
At that wide hall, some cars were placed in corners to look at. Shining brilliantly and in varied shapes and colors.
"Mr. Houston!" someone called.
Their head turned to see the tycoon in the business field, Mr. Wang.
Jiangli curve a smile, "It's been a long time no see Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wang laughed and they shook hands, "Not aging ah?" he said
"Mr. Houston!"
"Is it Mr. Houston?"
One and another, famous people came to greet him swarming around him because the young and handsome CEO was rare to see especially the fact that it's just a simple launching event.
Jiangli smiled, "I am glad seeing you all and by the way---" he turned to his side expecting to see Rein but that man was no longer there.
He frowned but couldn't get out from the crowd.
Rein already left his side the moment he took his eyes off him, he heaved a relief when he reached a corner.
Seeing Jiangli stuck in that crowd similar to buzzing bees talking nonstop, he smiled. Serves you right.
"Hello, Sir." Rein turned to see his secretary con me towards him.
Mierin had a presentable look compared to the normal days, she reached him, "If you told me that you'll go ahead here, you should have told me earlier." she said grumpily
Rein just informed her after he ate breakfast that he had no choice but to agree on Jiangli's demand.
"What's with the dog lace?" Rein asked seeing a black lace on her neck. It's been a trend for girls and male omegas but he found it ridiculous.
Mierin lightly punched his arm, "It's aesthetic. And I saw Mr. Houston went in together with you..." she realized something "...did you two drive here together?" she was a bit surprised since this friend of her was so stubborn, acting as an anti-Liu.
"Mm." he nodded with a disgusting expression he tried to conceal.
"Ohh~ okay, looks like... You two solved your conflict," she said remembering that scene yesterday.
She couldn't understand this two until now.
She shrugged it off and took his secretarial tablet, "We're here to supervise the products that are needed for the interceding project. Here's the data." she gave the tablet to Rein.
Rein immediately skimmed the data, scrolling down in focus while Mierin traveled her eyes around but she was targeting the beautiful figures.
There are several stunning alpha females and males that were stealing glimpses on Mr. Houstons who's currently busy talking with the Fargon CEO.
But her eyes fixated on one person whose more exceptional than anyone in the hall.
She hurriedly patted Rein, "Rein, Rein, is that Taylor?" she asked
Rein lifted his head to turn in the direction she was pointing at.
And there he saw a stunning male, an omega with his magnificent figure, he has long slender legs, fair skin that made him more alluring, and a face so gentle like that of an angel. He was Taylor, their super famous classmate back in their Senior Years.
Rein turned to her, "Did you forget? Taylor was the son of Fargon's CEO." he explained calmly
Mierin opened her mouth as she finally realize it, "Right...I forgot about it." Taylor then studied abroad after they graduated so she couldn't recall much about him in detail.
"But now seeing him again up close, I can't help but to conclude that he had features somewhat similar to Lin," she said
Rein didn't respond.
"Hey look!" Mierin was tugging his cloth again
"What is it this time?" Rein resumed reading and when he saw the scene she's pointing, he also can't help but observe.
Mr. Houston was talking to the Fargon's CEO when the CEO called for his son which was Taylor. They are now shaking hands, smiling sweetly at each other.
"That's so..." vulgar? Mierin thought
Rein felt something upon seeing the scene that made him frown but in the end, he just shrugged it off. He has Lin and he's already enough for him.
"I'm done reading. We should take close observations on the products that have been launched."
Mierin wanted to observe further movements from Jiangli and Taylor but she still need to work.
Some people recognized Rein while they were taking a look at the products some knew him and some were faking it, trying some techniques to please Rein knowing the fact that he's the spouse of the infamous Jiangli.
Rein shook hands with one of the marketing supervisors, "...but I wonder Mr. Valdir, it's been 2 years since you're married but there's still no fruit."
Mierin almost loses her hold on the tablet.
Rein just smiled, "We both think that it isn't necessary." he replied calmly
The man nodded, "Well, most business couples think that way." He laughed
He then whispered close to Rein, "But watch out, everyone is currently talking about how Mr. Houston and Fargon's son interact well. Some were even saying that they suit each other well."
Rein frowned but was still disturbed by how close the man was, he was about to step back to avoid him when suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him backward.
His back landed on a sturdy chest.
Rein lifted his head just to see Jiangli.
"May I ask what business does Mr. Han has to my wife?" he asked in a calm voice but it is clear in his tone that he was demanding an answer.
