"Ouch --" cried Venus, whose fingertip was wounded by the rose thorns.
“My Goddess!” exclaimed Kerry in a concerning tone. Then he took her hand over and kissed on the wound to lessen the pain on it.The heartbeat of her turned faster and at this point, she looked like no more than a young girl who was shy about the intimate act from her boy. She let out her finger and tried to dodge the affectionate stare of Kerry.
"Stay for a while, I'll get the band aid for you." said Kerry, who patted lightly on her head and left for the medicine room. Venus took a breath of relief when she found Kerry went away.She sweared that she wouldn't be moved by him. Perhaps it was the sweltering weather that made her feel a unease. She turned a solemn look as usual when Kerry got a band aid for her and said, "Thanks, I can do it by myself." Then she took the band aid from his hand, tore off the package and stuck it on the wound with another hand.
"Well, my lady, let me do the trimming job for you." said Kerry. The job, of course, was the responsibility of his servants, but at this point, he could take it as an excuse to enjoy a good moment with Venus. When he engaged himself on the trimming job, Venus took a piece of newspaper and buried herself in it.
"By the way, the chamber of commerce will certainly call for donations in two days. How much do we donate?" said Kerry in a casual tone.
"It’s your own business." replied Venus.
"You know, you are my wife, and half of my property belongs to you. So it is our business."
"Shut up!" cried Venus, who stared at him with a helpless look for the marriage between Kerry and her did embarrass her.
Kerry turned a deaf ear to her and continued his topic, "Five million or eight million?"
Venus then showed him the news about the collapsed schools after earthquake and said," Well, rich guy, now you can do some good things like building schools with your money."
Kerry nodded and replied, "Alright. But you know, I have to ensure that my money can be well-spent, so perhaps I shall take the job of supervisor by my own rather than be a donor of the project."
Venus was a little surprised that Kerry would accept her suggestion, then she said, "Guy, it is a big deal, I hope you can make the decision by your own."
"I think you're right. Let's build a school." said Kerry, who bowed his head and was about to finish the trimming job. He had made up his mind to build schools for the poor kids, or perhaps for the will of Venus.
"Young master, Miss Chu, It's time for dinner. " cried Mrs Qin.
"Here we go." said Kerry. He put the two bunches of rose into the vase, and then took out the mobile phone for her and said, "Henry has brought your mobile phone back to you. You get piles of calls from Xuan. "
Venus was excited by the mobile phone in which the precious information of her son was stored. However, her face turned solemn and shouted, "Motherfucker, you must take a good look of my phone without my permission."
"Sorry, I think it was my naughty hands which touched your phone without permission." said Kerry jokingly, then he stretched out his hands in front of her and said, "Here they are, you can punish them, I am sure hands won't fight back without my permission."
A boring as the joke was, Venus was still amused by it. She held his hands and replied in joking tone, "Then you should take care of them next time." Kerry, however, gave her a cunning smile as a reply since he knew his hands would definitely be naughty again next time.
"Hello? Brother, my mobile phone was left in the office and I got it back just now. " said Venus in a dial to her brother.
"That’s good, and I am really concerning about your safety.” said Xuan, who seemed sincere in his manner.
"I am fine, how about you guys? "
"We're OK, but some of my fellows are so scared by the earthquake, and they want to go back to Hong Kong for a while until the disaster is over. Their departure bothers me a lot." said Xuan bitterly.
……
On the third day after the earthquake, the aftershocks were gone and the employees of Yehuang Group were back for work. It was a mess in the its offices in the first day. After the renovation of the building, the group was back to its right track, and employees who contributed to the renovation work received rich bonuses from their leader,which were what they deserved, indeed.
After this disaster, the relation between the employees seems much closer. Venus also returned to work in the original position. However, the fact embarrassed her that Kerry visited her more frequently in a bold way. Therefore, Meiling He, the girl who was promoted as the vice president, showed a really strong interest in her.
At noon, when Venus went to Kerry 's office for lunch, she found him fixing his eyes at a design drawing.
"This is a blueprint for the reconstruction project of the school. What do you say?"
Venus was a little surprised and replied, "A quick job you do! "
"Of course, the project should be quickly completed for there are still thousands of kids out of school after the disaster."
Kerry 's honesty moved Venus and she said, "I never expect that you are such a good guy."
"Perhaps I was not, but now I try to be a good guy because of your warning." said Kerry, who then folded up the blueprint.
"My warning?"
"Yeah, you have warned that doing bad things brings bad lucks for our child. So now I’d better do some good things to earn good lucks for our child. I hope God will bless him a good health and a happy life in the future.”said Kerry in a calm tone. However, tears came around Venus’s eye when she heard so.
