Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

"Can you be more childish? No no what?" He pulled his shirt collar and adjusted it on his body. The fabric was form fitting and sweat resistant, sometimes it bunched on his shoulders making him readjust. Grabbing a pair of pants he went to change but paused as he re-thought his decision.

Heading towards the door, he reached for the light and flipped the switch on. 

Wei's voice lazily drifted into his ear as the surroundings became visible. "No no as much as I want. I have no dėsɨrė to listen to you."

Looking down at the man laying upside down on his bed, his eyebrows furrowed again by his positioning. The bed was a king size mattress and had plenty of room to roll around. Yet, Zhuang Wei decided to lay facing the ceiling, his head at the foot of the bed and his feat where the head should of been.

"You come into my room and decided to fight back by....putting your feet near my pillows? I'm three seconds away from throwing all of this out."

There was a slight anger to his tone as he stared at the feet in question. It was pretty rude to put your feet where someone lay's their head. Obviously, the disrespect wasn't done intentionally but it irritated him nonetheless. There was an OCD aspect to him and just imagining the germs from his feet on the sheets made him uncomfortable. Even if Zhuang Wei moved right now, he had to change these sheets before going to bed.

Sensing his tone Zhuang Wei looked down at his feet and quickly got off from his position.

"Um...well I didn't do that intentionally....sorry about that. I'll have the maids change all the sheets while you have dinner. I'm ȧssuming you haven't had dinner, there's a bunch of food in the kitchen. Its still warm since we had dinner less than an hour ago."

"I'm not having dinner, can you grab the maids right now. I'd like it changed immediately." His face cringed in disgust again before heading towards the bathroom. 

Pulling opening the bathroom door, he quickly went inside and locked it. He went about his business and freshened up before changing his pants. Slipping it on, he debated on keeping it long but he removed parts of it to make it shorts. It was one of those pants where you could add or remove length to your dėsɨrė, so they could be ankle length pants or knee length shorts.

Once he was satisfied with how everything felt, he dropped his clothes into the hamper alongside his socks. Once they started fighting the socks would be a hinderance to him and could make him slip. 

Washing his hands once again, he threw some water on his face and wiped it off with his towel. He knew that once he left the bathroom, he had to propose the old childhood fight. It was 50/50 if Zhuang Wei would accept and he had no backup plan if he said no. 

Taking the plunge, he left the bathroom and saw that Zhuang Wei was now sitting on the edge of his bed. As if he was careful not to touch anything else or dirty anything further. Xi Long could see that the sheets had changed. It was previously a white colour and they had become a faint blue now. He didn't say anything with regards to the sheets and just silently acknowledged the change. The maids they hired were efficient and quick, he could appreciate how fast they had it changed. Estimating the seven minutes he had taken in the bathroom, Wei was able to find a maid, grab new sheets, dispose the others, and drape them onto the bed. 

Guessing that Zhuang Wei had no intention of making the first move, he took a deep sigh and went to stand in front of him. Leaning against the wall behind him, he stared at Zhuang Wei and spoke again.

"How long are you going to sit silently? I'd rather much hear your annoying taunts or words of anger than this weird silence. Is this how you're going to be all night?" His last sentence had a little bit of force behind it. The emphasis was not out of anger but to indicate that he hadn't forgotten their earlier conversation.

A sigh left Zhuang Wei's mouth right before he responded. "What do you want me to say? I still don't think I was completely out of line for what happened this morning. I know you don't agree and now we're in this weird impasse. I don't expect you to take my side blindly but...."

"But what?" XI Long's voice remained calm as he replied back, he didn't want to give any emotions away before he heard the full sentence.

"But....I honestly think that you're going to fast and are being a little biased right now. Everything seems more 'bad' since you're interested in her. If another person, that you liked to a lesser degree, went through the same thing. Can you say you're reaction would be the same?"

"It would not bec-"

"See! You don't even know her. Albeit I think she's nice but all of this hidden information about her is too suspicious. There's not enough information to prove that she isn't a danger to us, I can see what you mean about her openly showing us things she could have hidden.. Like the needle and her face but how is that enough?? We take those itty pieces of 'evidence' I'm not even sure what to call it, and then run with it? This is such a critical time and you know exactly why my reaction is more extreme than usual." .
