Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

'Fried Chickennnn, fRIed cHiCken, fried chmkin...' Ying Yue sang these words in her head as she silently walked towards the restaurant. Her stomach rumbled reminding her how hungry she was. Speeding up her steps she went into a slight jog as she got closer to the familiar spot. Entering the restaurant the tasty scent of fried chicken filled the air. Taking in a deep breath she relished the smell before feeling her stomach grumble in protest. Standing in line Ying Yue quickly placed her order for a box of spicy fried chicken with cheese inside. As soon as she paid she sat down at the farthest table and took out her phone. While its only been eight minutes since she finished fighting and they probably weren't awake, she should still do some damage control. Dialing a short code the phone rang until a piercing voice picked up.

"WHAT'S UP?! Why did you call? Did you kill someone again?"

Feeling a headache, Ying Yue sighed as she replied, "No and must you always scream into the mic. Give the phone to gege."

"Gege? You must be outside then. Nope I won't give it to him, call me Unnie (1) and I will."

"First of all I'm older than you so if anything you're my dosang (2). Give the phone to gege."

"I said noooo -," she heard a cut and some rustling before Neo spoke into the phone. "What do you need?"

"HEY! Give back the phone, I was talking to her!!" Ying Yue chucked as she heard the shouting and fights as Ming Ming tried to steal the phone back from Neo. It was funny that they always seemed to bicker so much, even though it was more of a one-sided battle. Neo was on the quieter end and Ming Ming became a chatterbox to fill the void. Even with that, they would easily get into a fight over god knows what and now was no better. Neo had several inches on Ming Ming and despite being silent was a terror himself when angry. They had all trained in the same skills but excelled in different areas, even she did not know if she would want to mess with Neo considering his ace.

"What do you need Yi?" Hiding a smile from hearing his pet name for her she took a quick glance around ro see if anyone was paying attention to her before responding.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to complain about my workout today. The gym I usually go to was packed so it smelled so bad, could barely stand it that I had to leave early." She spoke casually and in code so no one would be able to decipher her conversation to hear what she really meant. A gym conversation versus I beat up 10 men in alleyway conversation was definitely less conspicious.

"Ahhh..., so someone bothered you at the gym and you fought so you want me to wipe all the CCTVs. Feel like I should just turn off all the CCTVs with how much I'm wiping them. Did you kill them as well?"

"No I'll probably go again this week if there is less people."

"Not dead. Clear, erasing it now."

"I wonder what made the gym so busy today, maybe there's a membership discount I don't know about."

"...saved their photos and their personal information on our database. Most of them are low level thugs while one of the guys is a noveau rich boy. You really f.u.c.k.e.d up his face huh?" Neo chuckled as he watched the clip of her beating them down. It wasn't a shocker for her to win but he enjoyed seeing their faces fill with fear and surprise when they lose. From the other side of the phone Ying Yue could feel the warmth in his tone as he spoke about the fight. She knew that the fight would be entertaining and would tickle the sadistic part of him. "It wasn't my fault, been having bad luck lately. Came by the gym when it was busy then dropped my keys and I forgot to mention....there was this guy at the gym. Not sure who he is but he tried hitting on me and was very much not my type."

"Got it. Done. Stop by soon."

"Mhm." She could hear Neo slowly getting tired of speaking, it was probably time for her to cut the call. "Okay bye, I'll talk to you ....-"

"Order number 34, spicy fried chicken box with cheese."

"...later."

"B*tch are you eating fried chicken without me?!?!? Neo if you don't give me back the phone I'll -" Cutting the call, she went to pick up her order before exiting her building. Ming Ming was probably steaming right now about her eating without her and was going to lecture her so she cut the call.

'Neo, I'm sorry I'll leave Ming Ming to you.'

Xi Long placed his palm against his face and sighed in frustration. No matter how much he worked there was always more to do. Its not like the work was any more than usual but spending time with his Kitten made him more reluctant to work. With everything he had planned it would be a while before he would be able to see her again. Picking up the papers he began reviewing the files and marking the part which need a revision. His eyebrows scrunched as he noticed a numerical error. 'Why do I hire idiots, I should just fire them.'

Putting the file to the side he reached into his jacket and opened a secret compartment in the sleeve to pull his chip. It was small and thin so was virtually undetectable unless you knew where to look and the jacket was modified to hide it. Reaching into the slit he tried to feel the chip but only felt the fabric against his fingers. A slight panic filled him at the prospect of losing this chip, it held important information that he kept secret and that is why it was always on his body. This week he had chosen to leave it in his jacket and it was there the last time he checked. Taking the jacket into his hands he pushed his fingers into the slit again to feel for the chip but felt nothing. Holding the jacket upside down he shook it to see if something would come out but still nothing.

Xi Long's blood turned cold. 'Where could I have dropped it???'
