Chapter 403 - Put My Heart At Ease
With Feng Xuan out of the office, Qing Chen worked a couple of hours longer. He was already in the search of a new person who was going to take his wife's place. Deep inside, he knew that she was not coming back. It was as if everyone knew that she was going to really try being an assassin, other than Feng Xuan herself.
He was on the phone when he got out of the limousine and into the house. He was immediately welcomed by the smell of cream and potatoes and Feng Xuan's "I'm in the dining!"
"Hey, wife," he said, continuously typing on his phone, completing the note he had for his secretary tomorrow. "How was your trip in the shelter? Did you find any cute ones?"
Feng Xuan looked at him over her shoulder and gave him the biggest smile. It was a relief seeing it. At least she looked happy today. "I did! I'm sure you'll love him."
Finally, Qing Chen pocketed his phone and saw the huge black figure sprawled on the floor and he almost took a step back. "Wow," the word left his lips.
"I know right?!" Feng Xuan said and bounded to the huge dog. "He's really tame. I made him smell your clothes earlier. Maybe that's why he's not barking at you."
The black dog was a fully grown german shepherd.
"I honestly can't think of anyone who would want to throw him out!" Feng Xuan said and squished her new pet's cheeks together. "He's so adorable!"
"Did they tell you why he was given there?" Qing Chen shrugged off his coat and hung it on the backrest of one seat.

"He was getting too big. The family was having a toddler and they were afraid for their little baby."
Qing Chen smiled at that. "And you're not afraid for us?"
"I don't see why we should be." She played with the dog's face for a moment. Qing Chen saw some of the items that Feng Xuan bought for the dog. The leash, the collar, the toys, and the huge bag of feeds leaning against their fridge. There was also a huge metal bowl for the food and the water. "Don't you think he's adorable?"
"Sure," he said. "I just didn't think you'll bring home a huge one."
"Did you really think that I was going home with a small puppy?" she laughed.
"I thought you were, honestly. But this is a nice surprise." Qing Chen knelt down infront of the dog and its brown eyes looked up to him. Yup, it didn't look harmful… for now. "One more bodyguard for you."
"I'll look for some training camps. But do you think they offer the ones like in the police?"
Qing Chen laughed at that. "You should really think about that first." He examined her face and smile. "Are you happy with your day?" he asked, combing her hair to the side.
"Yeah," she smiled at him. "It was a nice day shopping with a dog."
"Well, I'm glad that you're happy with what you did."
Feng Xuan stood up and returned to the stove. Qing Chen petted the dog for a few seconds before following his wife. "Another thing," she said. "I think I'll help Meilien and Yimin in YANG for the time being. Should be fun."
Qing Chen started setting up the table. "Let me know if you're going to need anything else for that event. We have a lot of venues you can choose from."
When they were finally seated, she told him, "I think I am turning into an old woman."
"What do you mean?" he asked, sipping on the hot soup and the familiar taste of his wife's delicious cooking.
"It feels like I can't stand myself sometimes. You know how some of the old ladies are in this society, they are so bored that they just throw their money everywhere."
Qing Chen's smile widened. "Most of the time it's for a good cause. Plus, they're busy with their households."
"Yeah, exactly. There I was last night thinking about new paint and furnitures."
Qing Chen cleared his throat. He could really hear the frustration in his wife's voice no matter how much she tried to downplay it. He didn't know a better way to phrase his suggestion other than, "I'll support you with whatever it is that you want."
He caught the slight hesitation in Feng Xuan's mind and he knew that they were both thinking the same thing. He was really right then. When she mentioned it the week before—that line about trying Wuming's job, that's not something that would just pop in your head if you haven't subconsciously thinking about it.
She really did want to cut people's throats.
Feng Xuan licked her lips and pull a forced smile. "Thank you, husband. I'm sure I'll find whatever it is that would put my heart at ease."

Later that night, Feng Xuan was lying awake. Qing Chen was already sleeping, his breathing even and steady beside her. She stared at the vase where her bucket list was. She was feeling excited about having to pick another paper but there was this feeling inside of her that makes her feel scared that she might never get enough of this.
Should she try being a YouTube star? This would make a good content series. But she was too lazy to film herself and thinking about the privacy of her life being out in the open was not something that she wanted to put in the spotlight.
Not when they have a lot of things that they want to keep hidden in the dark.
She closed her eyes, thinking that everything would be alright. She was going to keep herself busy. She was going back to YANG and make her mind occupied with things that have end goals.
Yup, that's the plan, she told herself, blocking all the thoughts that has anything to do with knives and guns.
