I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 264 Dinner

Star Castle Entertainment,

Xiaolei and Juu dropped by in a convenience store so it was already dark when they arrived in Star Castle. Xiaolei actually suggested to her husband this morning that he should host a dinner party with all the staffs including their babies in Star Castle tonight. Of course, the man agreed with the suggestion and he even ordered expensive foods from luxury restaurants that don’t usually accept take outs.

Yu Chen had also texted her that they will not start without her so she didn’t spend much time with the employees in Yu Empire anymore.

As they walked towards a hall that they had set up into a dinner hall just for tonight, the lines on Xiaolei’s forehead were slowly getting deeper. It was because the entire place, since they entered the building was very quiet.

"Do you hear a thing?" Xiaolei asked Juu and the man simply shook his head.

"That’s strange. Could it be that they’re trying to surprise us?"

The thought made Xiaolei smiled mischievously. She then put her finger on her lips, gesturing Juu to be quiet. When the man nodded, Xiaolei held the door handle carefully.

She slowly pushed the door open. Gladly, the door didn’t make any sound so she slowly peeked inside. She waited for the surprise but nothing came. Curious, she pushed the door wider and the instant she entered, her jaw dropped.

Everyone was here and they were not trying to surprise her or anything. They were just there, sitting silently around a long table while Yu Chen sat on the chair at the end of the table. The employees didn’t seem to be tensed but they looked like they were hesitating to move or talk, as if they were afraid that they will do something inappropriate in front of the boss. Looking at them, Xiaolei couldn’t help but imagine Yu Chen as the nonchalant serious Prince, while the employees were like his foot soldiers who were busy thinking if they deserved to eat with him.

Xiaolei let out a sigh, seeing the situation.

"Good evening everyone." Xiaolei finally spoke and everyone’s head snapped towards her.

"You’re here," Yu Chen stood and approached her. Everyone in Star Castle already knew that Xiaolei and Yu Chen were in a relationship, and that they were madly in love with each other because even though the two never said it, they didn’t hide their intimacy to them. But of course, no one knew that the two were already married. Even the I.x.U members only knew that the two were engaged. The employees were also strictly told not to disclose anything about them, especially about Yu Chen to anyone outside the company. Since Star Castle still had a few employees, it was easy to keep any information inside.

"Come, have a seat." Yu Chen led her towards the chair right next to him.

Once the two were seated, Xiaolei looked at her employees and smiled at them before she looked at Yu Chen. She had to change this silent atmosphere.

"Did you already told them?" Xiaolei asked Yu Chen and the man nodded. Oh... could it be that this was why everyone was silent? Because they were all sad that Yu Chen will no longer their CEO?

"I see..." she turned towards everyone and smiled at them. "It seemed like everyone didn’t want you to go."

The employees looked flustered. Xiaolei could tell that they wanted to speak so badly but then, again, they were hesitant.

And thus, Xiaolei clapped her hands.

"Okay, while we’re talking, let’s start the party now." Xiaolei then stood and started opening the bottle of wine and alcohol in her reach. Everyone also took their own bottles and opened them, following Xiaolei’s lead.

And then, everyone started to eat and drink. As time went by, the employees who were extremely well behaved finally start to slihow their real colors.

"Boss, it’s not like that. It’s true that we like CEO Yu’s leadership but we also want you back!" one of the employees spoke before she slowly sunk on her seat, upon realizing what she had spouted.

"Thank you. I’m glad you guys still want me back." She grinned playfully and everyone finally began to speak.

"We missed you, boss."

"Yeah, I want to work with you again."

"CEO Yu is too perfect. I always felt like I’m useless since he became our CEO. He’s too out of reach. T^T"

"Yeah. CEO Yu is like a godly existence. Peasants like us still felt tensed and doubtful to ourselves when he showed such a perfect and flawless results. Of course, boss Xiao is also almost on par with CEO Yu’s level but... I feel like boss Xiao understands us more."

"Yeah, I felt that too. I felt pressured and worried that my work is not good enough. And I’m still a little intimidated even though he is nice to us and never scolded us. CEO is awesome! I never thought someone like him exists in real life. It’s just that I feel like he’s not someone I could work alongside with."

"Me too. I can always ask boss Xiao for some suggestion and I could even reason out with her however I want, something I could never do with almighty CEO Yu. But then, yeah... CEO Yu is just amazing. Way too amazing."

As the employees continued talking to each other, already forgetting that the bosses they were talking about were sitting right there, watching them, Xiaolei was all smile as she looked at Yu Chen. She knew the drastic change Yu Chen had done. He was the one who adjusted and he didn’t force the employees to be the one to adjust for him. She knew he had tried his best to slightly lower his standards just for them.

But Yu Chen was starting to look gloomy because he finally found out that after all his effort these people were still actually scared of him. Seeing his expression, Xiaolei giggled softly before she cupped Yu Chen’s face and gazed at him with pride in her eyes. "You did well, hubby." She whispered and with that, the man’s face beamed. In the end, all he needed was his dearest wife’s praise.

At that point, Xiaolei’s attention finally fell on her babies. She realized that she never heard a sound from anyone of them so she looked at their direction. Even though three of them were still underage, Xiaolei let the others to drink during this kind of occasions, but of course, moderately.

Xiaolei also knew that Lu Xiaotian, Yang Xiu and Gian Zheng likes to drink and they even became quite talkative when drunk. That was why she was surprised with their silence. Could it be that Yu Chen forbid them to drink?

With creased brows, Xiaolei’s gaze swept through them and saw that none of them were drinking. They were just quietly nibbling foods and three of them looked like they were sulking as they kept glancing at the bottle of alcohols the staffs were drinking. Xiaolei was about to ask why they’re not drinking when her eyes fell on their table. There were no alcohols served for them. Instead... they all each have yogurts next to their plates.
