Little Miss Devil:The President's Mischievous Wife

Thankfully, it was almost weekend, but Lu Xinyi noticed that her husband was unusually busy lately. He would wait for phone calls and would try to distance himself every time he received one. Not that she suspected that he was cheating on her when he couldn't keep his hands away from her lately.

It wasn't that much of a big deal anyway. Ever since the confrontation last Monday, Shen Yi made a point to give her a call whenever he is out to check up on her. She hadn't left their home and only accepted Xiao Lan's company lately, much to Shen Yi's chagrin. It was something about losing his treasures to his brother and Xiao Lan.

The hot and humid season was almost over, and she couldn't wait to see the latest trends in the culinary world. Speaking of culinary, she wasn't sure what Shen Yi did to her application at Silver Leaf Academy. She was staring down at a large envelope in her hand, unsure if she should open it or not. The envelope had an insignia from Silver Leaf Academy.

It had been sitting at the table in the entryway when she went downstairs while her husband was still asleep in their bedroom. Madam Jin might have left it there since she wasn't around.

Without wasting another moment, Lu Xinyi had snatched the mail from the tabletop before taking off, reaching the stairs in a few moments before running back to their room. She silently closed the door behind her and took slow deep breaths to put herself under control.

It was only her and Shen Yi who were aware of her plans to go to Silver Leaf. The school that her father attended many years ago but failed to complete his degree. Silver Leaf Academy was one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the country, and she yearned to take up the same degree her father took before.

She wanted to be a chef like him. A chef that could bring a smile to everyone tasting dishes that could leave a lasting impact on anyone. Sure, Lu Xinyi could follow her father's footsteps, but she knew that it wouldn't be easy. She wanted to learn about the craft. It's all about the craft.

But she knew she needed to get into the academy first; that would help her tread along the path she had chosen.

Lu Xinyi clutched the envelope tighter in her hand, afraid to open it. What if she really didn't get a confirmation letter for the examination? Meng Jiao had sabotaged her application before. While she knew all of these had happened because of her husband, Shen Yi couldn't force the academy to let her in without her passing the exams.

What if she didn't get in? How should she face her own husband with this failure? Would he be disappointed in her? Besides, she didn't want to tarnish Shen Yi's reputation. He'd helped her, so she better do her best if the academy gives her a chance.

Sighing to herself, Lu Xinyi moved away from the door and sat on her side of the bed. Her trembling fingers ran over the envelope, almost like a caress from a lover. She just needed to open it. What was she afraid of? She could just rip it open and get over it if she failed to get a slot for the entrance exam.

"Okay. Just open it." Lu Xinyi told herself and, without further ado, ripped the envelope open. Pulling a thick folded paper from within, she closed her eyes for a moment before unfolding the paper in her hands and read the contents.

When she was done, her eyes read the words written on the paper a few more times before it sank into her mind.

She got an exclusive slot for the entrance exams for Silver Leaf Academy. These exclusive slots were only given to those with individuals who had support or were sponsored by corporations or companies.

Lu Xinyi held the exam admission card with wide eyes. Her name was written on it as well as her sponsor. SY Holdings? She blinked. Lu Xinyi expected that the Shen Group would be the one sponsoring her studies.

Shouting in joy, Lu Xinyi jumped from her seat before tugging the blanket from her sleeping husband. Shen Yi groaned and sat up, running a hand through his messy hair and wondering what made his wife so happy and ecstatic early in the morning.

"You did it! You really did it for me!" She straddled her husband and, with both hands, pulled his face towards her for a deep kiss, showing him her gratitude for his efforts.

Shen Yi stared at her for a few moments before realizing what had happened. He smiled at her kiss. Ah, what a great way to surprise her wife. All of those long, boring conversations he'd endured these past days were worth it, seeing her smile brightly at him. He'd do anything for his lovely wife.
