1515 Am I Your Home?

While having breakfast with the family, Mr Wen said, "Wen Zac, you don't need to come to the office. I will suggest that you take a leave for a few days more."

"Leave? What are you saying, dear," Mrs. Wen interrupted, "Here I was planning to send them on honeymoon which they had missed."

Cough! Cough!

Ming Lan's face turned red as she didn't expect her mother-in-law to say it. Wen Zac passed her a glass of water. She accepted it and had a few sips. Her face had turned entirely red with the mix of embarrassment and coughing as well. "Are you alright dear?" Mrs Wen asked. "I..am fine," she replied in a low voice and resumed eating. "Take it slow," Wen Zac said as he watched her stuffing food in her mouth and then looked at his mother, "Mother, Lanlan is back home just now so let her spend time with us all as she must have missed home. Also, there is Lian and Rusheng's wedding soon and if we two disappear at this moment, those two won't allow us to even enter their wedding hall."

Ming Lan felt relieved to hear it. Honeymoon? This word gave her shivers as she didn't know how to react to it. They were not newly weds now though they were yet to….

"That is true as well," Mrs Wen agreed and suggested, "How about you take Lanlan to visit your office? She is back after so long and let our staff get used to seeing their next Lady boss."

Wen Zac looked at Ming Lan to know her opinion, she looked clueless on what to do and simply looked back at them. "If you have nothing to do today, we can go to the office for a while," Wen Zac suggested.

She nodded and Mrs Wen smiled at her effort of giving them time together. She was sure her son would end up going to the office. "We have recently renovated another ancestral mansion in the northern part of the city. You can take Lanlan there and show it to her. It's among our most valuable properties," Mr Wen suggested. "I have been planning to be there, father. I made my last visit there two months back to check the progress," Wen Zac said, "I was planning to visit there anyways."

"You two can also visit nearby places as well. They are good tourist spots," Mr Wen suggested.

Wen Zac agreed. "We will do that."

Mrs Wen observed this pair of smart father and son and how they already planned everything out of sudden and finally the new couple would be away to have their own time. She smiled and felt glad. Ming Lan didn't mind it as they wouldn't be going away and will be back in a day or two. The innocent soul could not understand the intentions behind being sent away. Mr Wen knew his son was smart enough to get the opportunity which was given to him

Wen Zac and Ming Lan went to the office, where everyone greeted their Young Mistress. She was not just the wife of their president but she was also the daughter of the powerful Ming family, the grand-daughter of elder Ming Shihong and it added to her profile for being respected by them.

Wen Zac showed her most of the places in the corporate office building and finally took her to his office. It was the first time she was going to visit his office and she wondered how he liked his work place when her own work place was never the same and far from having any facilities. But she loved it.

They entered one of the top floors as they were welcomed inside the luxurious and stylish reception area of the president's office. The two receptionists as well as others present immediately bowed and greeted them. Ming Lan observed that grand reception area which showed these people from big companies loved everything grand and stylish just like how she had seen her family's, the Ming industries office. Wen Zac led her way towards the double side huge size door on that floor and outside she saw the nameplate of the president's office and his name written on it. Wen Zac's assistant opened the door for them and Wen Zac led her inside his office. His office was so…she didn't have words to say. So stylish and well arranged and beautiful to eyes. The only thought came to her mind, 'Thank god, he didn't ever see in what kind of conditions I work and how I deal with everything. If he knew, he would have thought twice before marrying me. Thank goodness he can never come to wherever I work.'

"What are you thinking?" she heard Wen Zac. It pulled her out of her thoughts, "Ah, I was thinking your office is so beautiful, so perfect that one would want to be here and work."

He smiled and went to the other side of his table and stood behind his chair, "Come here."

Ming Lan went to him and heard him again, "Sit here."

She looked at him questioningly, "It's your chair, president's…."

"The President's wife can sit in it," he replied, which left her with no space for argument. She sat in the chair and felt like as if she could feel Wen Zac's warmth in it. She didn't know sitting in her husband's chair could make her feel so different and overwhelmed. He walked on the side and looked at her, who looked at the work table. On the table there was a picture frame- their wedding picture. She lifted that small frame and smiled, "I have the same with me."

"With you?" he asked. Ming Lan realised she said something which she didn't intend to but as she had said now, she explained as she looked at him, "I carried one with me when I went for work after our wedding."

It surprised Wen Zac as he didn't think she would even do it. She was always so focussed on her work to even think about such things. He walked closer to her, turned her chair to face him and leaned down with his hands resting on the armrest of the chair. His eyes looked at her startled face, "Why did you carry it?"

She collected herself, "The same reason as you who kept one picture on his worktable."

"Still I want to hear it from you," he insisted, his gaze not leaving the sight of her. "Isn't it normal to keep your wedding picture when you are married?" she answered. "That's it?"

"Yes." "But I don't think you even get the chance to look at that picture even once. Then why….."

"I get enough time when I go to bed," she interrupted him, her gaze not backing down as well. He paused for a moment as his gaze turned intense, "So you look at our picture when you go to bed."

Ming Lan suddenly felt like the wrong meaning was being drawn from her words. She tried to correct, "I just liked looking at our picture and I didn't feel lonely at all. I could sleep peacefully."

"Do you feel lonely when you are there, working away?"

She nodded, "Sometimes. Just like everyone else, I tend to miss home as well."

"So am I your home now?" he asked. "Yes. I feel comforted with the thought of having you," she said her honest thoughts. Wen Zac felt like her honesty left him speechless. No words he had but he could show his honesty through the action. ===
