My Mysterious Husband

The problem is that she is both Venus and Yan Chu. She didn’t know how to make of her complicated emotions.
“Forget it.” She thought to herself. “You must remember you are Yan Chu! You are not Venus! The important thing is to save the
kid!”
For the rest of the journey, Kerry kept saying nice things to her, hoping to get her forgiveness. Every time she showed interest in
some kind of souvenir, he would ask her whether she wanted him to buy it or not. But her answer is always no. “I don’t like it.”
“It’s too ugly.” She would say.
There was nothing Kerry could do. He stopped her and put on a sorrowful expression. He said in a soft voice: “Please stop being
angry. I know I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have kissed you in front of so many people.” Kerry answered.
“It has nothing to do with the environment! You shouldn’t have kissed me! That’s what truly matters!” Venus said angrily.
“But I did it. What should I do to make you forgive me?” Kerry said in a naughty way.
Venus rolled her eyes and said: “Go back to those shops and buy every single thing I showed interest in.”
“Every single thing?” Kerry was surprised.
“Yes! Every single thing! If you don’t miss anything, I will forgive you.”
“Deal! Just wait here.” Kerry said. He then turned back and walked towards those shops. He is a very smart person and he has a
sharp memory. So it was not a difficult task for him.
Venus sat on a stone seat and waited for him. People passing by cast glances at her from time to time, especially these men
who were traveling alone.
A bold man walked directly to her and asked: “Young lady, are you traveling alone?”
Venus glared at him and said: “No. I have company!”
That man walked away with disappointment.

She knew her exceptional beauty could make her a target for these single men. So she wore a cold expression, indicating that
she didn’t want to be bothered by anyone. But her strategy proved to be useless. Because soon, another man walked to her and
tried to flirt with her.
“Are you here to travel?” He asked. He wore a pair of glasses and he had a big backpack.
Venus looked at him coldly. She didn’t say anything, thinking: “What else could I possibly be doing here?”
The man didn’t give up. He said: “If you are alone, we can be partners. It’s dangerous for a girl to travel alone.”
“I have a partner.” She said. She noticed Kerry came back with lots of big and small bags from the corner of her eyes.
“You have been sitting alone here for a long time. Where is your partner? You are lying.”
Venus then looked at Kerry and smiled. That man followed her gaze, and he saw a tall and strong man with very handsome
features was walking towards them. Kerry’s presence was so formidable and that young man escaped in an instant.
“Here are the things you want. Did I miss anything?” Kerry smiled and put the stuff on a stone table.
Venus looked at the goods carefully. Apart from all the things she wanted, Kerry also bought some snacks.
“You didn’t miss anything.”
“Can you stop being angry?” Kerry asked.
Venus didn’t answer him. A flicker of a smile crossed her face and she said: “I’m hungry.”
Kerry noticed her smile and he sighed with relief. He said: “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the best restaurant here.”
“Sure.”
They had a sumptuous meal. Venus felt much better. They strolled along the street, which was washed so clean by the rain.
“Where are we going tomorrow?” Venus asked.
Kerry said: “We will have a good sleep. Then I will take you to the street that is known for its various kinds of snacks.”
“That sounds great!” Venus stretched herself and said: “I’m so tired. We walked a long way. Don’t wake me up tomorrow
morning. I will sleep till the noon.”

“Sure. You can sleep as much as you want to.”
They arrived at the hotel and they went back to their rooms. Venus took a shower and went to sleep.
......
It was very early in the morning. But someone called Venus and she was wakened. She grabbed the phone and answered it.
“Who is it?”
“Director Chu. It’s about our project! The supplier of the equipment for our amusement park wants to raise the price all of a
sudden. They said the price we give is too low.” It was Shixuan Tang’s voice.
“Why are you telling me this? What do I know about the business?” Venus said. Her eyes were half shut.
“The point is that we are not familiar with the situation here in this city, and we don’t want to get scammed. Luckily, this supplier
was introduced to us by a friend, or we will need to pay more money.”
“So what do you want me to do?’
“I heard you and Director Ye are traveling. Can you ask him for some advice? Our company is responsible for this project but he
is also a partner of ours. So he will help.” Shixuan said.
Venus finally opened her eyes and said: “Fine. I’ll give it a shot.”
“I’ll send all the materials to you, and also, I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance to the highway.”
“Alright.”
Venus hung up the phone. She stayed in bed for a few minutes and then dragged herself out of it. Her identity was the second
daughter of Chu Family, so she must be responsible for the family’s business.
She washed herself and walked to Kerry’s room with heavy steps. She knocked the door but there was no response.
“Where is he?” Venus murmured. She then yawned and called Kerry.
“Why are you up so early? I thought you won’t get up till noon. I am downstairs.” Kerry said.
“I have something to talk with you. Wait a second.” She said.

Kerry was reading a newspaper, while sipping a cup of coffee. He heard the creaks of the stairs and he looked up. Venus was
still yawning and her eyes were brimmed with tears.
“What’s so important?” Kerry said smilingly.
Venus took a seat beside him and heaved a sigh. “It’s the supplier of the Ferris wheel. They want us to pay more, or they won’t
sell it. But we already went over our budget. That’s why Shixuan called me just now. ”
“Didn’t you sign a contract with them?” Kerry asked.
Venus frowned. “We only have a verbal agreement. We are about to sign a contract two days later but they suddenly changed
their mind.”
“This happens a lot in the business world. So what’s your plan?” Kerry put his newspaper down and took a sip of his coffee.
“Our plan is to ask you for help. Shixuan told me that you have some good connections and he wants you to introduce a reliable
supplier to us.”
Kerry thought about it and said: “I do know someone who can help you. But we haven’t talked with each other for a long time. He
is in G city.”
“Then let’s go and meet him.” Venus said excitedly.
“Now?”
Venus nodded. “Yes. Now.” She grabbed Kerry’s arm and pulled him up. “We can travel whenever we want to. The business is
more important.”
Kerry smiled dryly and said: “Henry went to buy the breakfast. Should we wait for him?”
Venus released his arm and said: “Call him now. Ask him to come back. Oh, I almost forgot. I’ll send you the materials about the
Ferris wheel.”
“Why are you so interested in this project all of a sudden?”
Venus shot him a sideways glance and said: “I am always interested in this project, okay?”
“Are you?”

“You are so annoying. Call Henry now! Ask him to come back.”
Kerry took his phone out from his pocket. He shook his head smilingly and said: “Is this how you ask for help? With this kind of
attitude?”
Venus changed her tone and said: “Mr Ye, Director Ye. I am begging you. Please.” Her eyes were sparkling
Kerry rubbed her hair and called Henry.
......
They met Shixuan at the entrance to the highway, and they drove together towards G city.
When they were about to arrive at G city, Venus suddenly remembered Xiran Xiao, the friend she made last time, was also living
in G city. So she decided to meet her as well.
“What are you thinking?” Kerry noticed she was smiling all of a sudden.
“My friend Xiran also lives in G city. I think I can see her this time.” Venus said. She then called Xiran and said: “Hello? Xiran? I’m
Yan Chu. Do you still remember me?”
“Of course I do. I’ll never forget you.”
Venus smiled. “Are you in G city? I am going to G city today.”
“Yes, I am. Are you coming to work? Or are you traveling? Do you need me to pick you up?”
“I’m traveling on business with my colleagues, so you don’t need to pick me up. I’ll call you when my work is done. I really want
to see that handsome guy you mentioned earlier.” Venus said.
Kerry frowned when he heard about that handsome guy.
“Sure. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Kerry looked at Venus’s smiley face and asked: “Handsome guy?”
“Oh, it’s a friend of hers. Last time she helped him to find a doctor.”

Kerry nodded. “So he is a patient.” He suddenly remembered she just called her friend: Xiran. Is she the richest girl in G city? He
thought.
“What’s your friend’s family name? Is it Xiao?”
Venus froze. She then said: “Yes. Her name is Xiran Xiao. What’s the matter?”
Kerry smiled. “Don’t you know her background?”
“No, I don’t.” Venus was displeased. “Do I have to know a person’s family background before I make a friend? I just think she is a
nice person.”
Kerry comforted her by saying: “Calm down. Don’t get so excited all of a sudden.” He continued: “If I remembered it correctly,
Xiran Xiao is actually one of the richest people in G city. Her family is a very grand family and her parents are doing business all
over the world. I am very surprised that you can make a friend with her.”
Venus was so shocked and she widened her mouth. She knew Xiran is a rich person because Xiran was driving a super car the
last time she saw her. But she never imagined she could be so rich.
“You are saying she is the richest person in G city?” Venus swallowed nervously.
“At least she is still on top of the wealth list.”
“Are you serious?” Venus felt she admired Xiran even more. “Now I am feeling stressed to meet her.”
Kerry searched on his phone and showed a picture to Venus. “Is this your friend?” He asked.
Venus looked at the picture and nodded.
“Then we are talking about the same person.” Kerry put his phone away. “But don’t feel nervous. You are friends. You are not
business partners. Besides, you are also from a great family. Be confident in yourself.”
