The CEO's Wife Has A Secret

Chapter 26 - Birthday

Lim Yi Sheng went out if his car right in front of Xi Corporation. He entered the building full of dignity, with Feng Jinnian who immediately caught up after handing the car keys to the valet.

With his eye-catching looks paired with his black tailored suit, all the eyes of the employees were automatically glued to the man who just entered. Some made noises while some were in a daze thinking whether they were actually dreaming or not.

Lim Yi sheng noticed the woman on the front desk who is busily typing on her computer, Feng Jinnian saw his boss' expression and knew immediately what to do.

He immediately walked up to the front desk and politely spoke. "Excuse me Miss, I was wondering if you could tell all the employees not to let the news of Young Master Lim's arrival to President Xi. I think you know what day it is today."

After realizing what Feng Jinnian meant, the other woman on the front desk squealed. Who would not know that today is the President's birthday, right? Perhaps, President Xi herself? After years of working for her, she never bothered celebrating her birthday.

"I understand. I will send a message to the employees right away."

"Thank you." with that he went back to his side and made their way to the elevator.

Upon reaching the Top Floor, all the heads instinctively turned towards the man who just came out of the elevator. Everyone immediately realized who it was, even being on the Top Floor of Xi Corporation means they are very much affiliated with different prominent figures in the corporate world they can say that Young Master Lim is certainly not a person you can easily meet.

But alas! Who would have thought that instead of them giving their president a gift for her birthday it was them who will be able to meet such an spectacular man on this day.

As if it was practiced, all the employees bowed 45 degrees in a unison manner and greeted the man with enthusiasm. Their greeting echoed on the entire floor but it of course it didn't reach Xi Ana's office as it was a sound proofed room.

The man nodded in silence and went straight to his wife's office. He knocked twice before finally opening the door. This is the first time they will celebrate her birthday as a married couple, though he knew of what transcended on her 7th birthday and how she had forgotten about it, he wanted to at least create memories worth to remembering.

Xi Ana turned hear head on the opening door of her office and the moment she realized who the man was. She was immediately greeted with a warm and radiant smile coming from him, she stood up and walked towards him.

"I didn't expect to see you early tonight." she warmly accepted his open arms and melted right into it. With her face buried on his c.h.e.s.t, she could easily smell the manly cologne that he uses. She had personally made it for him by a famous perfumer in France.

"I really wanted to have dinner with you tonight, so I had the head chef of Imperial Restaurant together with his team to specifically prepare something for us here. I hope you can spare me some of your time, my dear?" the smile on his thin lips never once left his perfectly defined face.

He gently pushed the strands of her hair on her face and combed it with his big hands before finally planting a kiss on her forehead. "It seems that my wife has forgotten what day it is today."

Xi Ana looked at him puzzled and tried to recall what day today is but unfortunately she can't remember anything special for today, her birthday is still a week away.

"Silly woman, its 13th of August today and it's your 27th birthday." he smiled lovingly. Xi Ana on the other hand felt her body stiffened upon realizing that it was actually her birthday today, it was her real birthday. She surprisingly let out a small laugh which made Lim Yi Sheng threw her a questioning gaze.

"Uhm?" Xi Ana shook her head in response.

"I just find it amusing how I managed to forget my own birthday." she smiled reassuringly.

"You're always cooped with too much workload, starting this year I wan t you to spend at least your birthday dinner every year. After all, we got a lifetime to be together." hearing his word, her heart felt the warmth transpired.

"Sure. I'll spend my birthday dinner every year with you." she might not have seen physically how her her words impacted him but his heart felt very delighted.

"Let's have Feng Jinnian arrange the table here, would that be alright?" she nodded as a response while he guided the small of her back towards the door.

As they opened the daughter, Xi Ana was startled when the whole of the Top Floor suddenly erupted in a greeting with full of enthusiasm that reverberated the entire floor.

"Happy birthday, President Xi!" this is the first time that someone else greeted her for her birthday, and this is also a first for them to greet her on her birthday.

They've always known about it but since no one dared to speak about it as their President is very aloof, they've always kept their sincere greetings deep inside them. Seeing her no with the man on her side, they can't help but feel as though the once cold and stoic President seemed to have soften a little.

Xi Ana felt a little bit awkward with how the situation had transpired but she can't really evade it now, the only thing she could do was to play along.

"Thank you. As a way of showing my gratitude to all of you, all of the employees who managed to reached their quota by today will receive a great incentive for me." she smiled as she saw their mix expressions.

Those who managed to do brimmed with delight while those who were still a bit short with their quota felt a little disappointed with themselves. It's not like they are lacking in any means, in fact their due date is not yet in two weeks time. Those who managed to reach their quota were insane, they're monsters!

On the sideline, Lim Yi Sheng already signaled Feng Jinnian to arrange the table and the dishes inside which he followed suit.

"Think of this as a way of improving yourselves, you are after all a part of my Top Floor. I polished all of you to the best of my abilities, but the moment you stepped on this floor you are already on your head. Without steady footing, you will easily be replaced. Do you get my point?" Lim Yi Sheng was amused at how his wife managed to use this situation to teach her subordinates. If she's in the military, she would make a great commander.

"Understood, President." they kept her words to heart. As what has always been mentioned, being a part of the Top Floor is really something.

"My dear, how could you lecture your employees on your birthday? Don't you think it's better to fill their tummies first so that the words you have imparted would stay with them and not be washed with hunger?"

The crowd burst into small laughters, "Then what do you suggest, Young Master Lim?" she asked with smile on her face.

The employees who were busy taking in the scene in front of them couldn't help but feel jealous of how sweet yet m.a.t.u.r.e their interactions were.

Lim Yi Sheng faced the employees and smiled. "I hope none of you had eaten dinner yet because I personally made a call to deliver a scrumptious meal for all the employees of Xi Corporation."

If it was Young Master Lim who made the call then this is not a simple dinner! It must be from a Michelin restaurant, this husband and wife pair is really great! One fed them with wisdom and the other fed them delicious meal. This must be a match made in heaven!

"Young Master, the meal has been served." Feng Jinnian called out.

"Excuse us, please do enjoy the meal that will be served." with that they went back inside the office and made their way on the table.

He guided her to her seat and pulled the chair for her before finally settling himself on his side. Meanwhile, the head chef gave a signal to serve the meal in front of their distinguished guests.

"Ah Mo, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to fulfill this request of mine." the man smiled.

"It will always be my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, Young Master Lim. I can always cook anytime for you and the Madame whenever you wanted, after all you were the one who had given me this chance, Young MAster." though normally he would not bent over anyone who requests his service unless they've made proper arrangements ahead of time but he will always do so for Young Master Lim.

The man is relatively young for a head chef, he's only around 24 or 25 years old yet he already managed to gain so much on the career path that he had chosen. Hearing what Ah Mo said, Xi Ana was quite intrigued with their relationship now. "Oh please do enlighten me, Ah Mo." she smiled and looked at the head chef of Imperial.

"Young Master Lim was the one who picked me up. After being kicked out of S Academy during my fourth year of culinary school, I didn't know what to do and to cut the story short he helped me and here I am now."

"I see, at least now I know why my husband could actually ask Imperial for a delivery meal."she chuckled a little.

"Well, I could break a rule or two, right? After all, without Ah Mo the current prestige that Imperial recently acquired would disappear. Also, didn't I tell you? I'm one of the investors of Imperial Corporation."
