Ashley was speechless. Was it as she had thought?
Johnny looked over at Ashley.
Judging by how his boss was looking right now, he thought that the decision-maker must definitely be
his wife. If the boss's wife agreed to go back, the boss would go back. If the lady refused, the boss
would stay here and wouldn't budge an inch.
Johnny couldn't say anything. What kind of a boss was he working for?
Johnny couldn't help but fix his eyes on Ashley and say rather firmly, "Miss Mu, please come back to J
City with us. You were worried about Miss Su. Now you've seen that she is fine here, and there is
nothing wrong."
Ashley looked at Ellie's tired face and then at Johnny. She had a headache.
She had just arrived in L City and hadn't yet met Ellie's grandpa and grandma. How could she leave
like this?
Ashley turned to Andrew and said, "You go back first, OK? I have something to talk with Ellie and will
come back tomorrow."
Andrew pursed his lips and replied, "Come back to J City with me."
Ashley pulled Andrew aside and said in a low voice, "Please go back first. You need to go to work
tomorrow. I promise I will be back as soon as I can. OK?"
Ashley felt like she was comforting a child.
Andrew didn't answer, merely staring stubbornly at her.
"Andrew Lu, what the hell do you want me to do?" Ashley pleaded helplessly.
"Go back to J City with me."
Ashley had said everything to make him happy, but all in vain. It angered her to no end.
"Andrew Lu, don't get fresh with me! I have something to do here," she said, not bothering to conceal
her irritation.
Andrew obviously didn't buy her explanation.
Ashley had had enough. She was fuming and at the moment, didn't care what Andrew wanted to do.
She turned to Ellie and said, "Ellie, let's go. Leave them alone."
Ashley pulled Ellie by the arm and made to walk around Andrew and Johnny towards the exit.
Andrew glanced coldly at the spot where Ashley was gripping Ellie's arm. Ellie was finding it difficult to
ignore the coldness in his eyes.
Ellie hesitated and shrugged off Ashley's hand. "Go back with them."
"Ellie?" Ashley said, looking at Ellie in surprise.
"You can figure out how you want to explain it to me."
A stab of guilt shot through Ashley at Ellie's words.
"What about grandpa and grandma?"
"I will explain to them."
Ashley finally got into the car and went back to J City with Andrew and Johnny.
The car was filled with bags and bags of snacks Ashley had bought. She had just visited a supermarket
as she felt hungry. It looked like she had brought the supermarket with her.
Ashley opened a bag of crisps and gorged on them. She hadn't eaten such snacks for a long time and
rather enjoyed their taste.
Andrew frowned from beside her, his eyes narrowing disdainfully.
Andrew had never eaten such food, even as a child. If he wanted to eat some snacks, he would eat
expensive ones imported from abroad, which were much different from these.
But seeing that Ashley liked them, Andrew didn't say anything.
"Would you like to eat some?" Ashley finally asked, realizing that there was another person beside her,
and deigned to offer the crisp bag to him.
As he watched Ashley enjoying the food, Andrew had been overcome with the urge to give it a try. He
took a piece from the bag in her hand and popped it into his mouth.
Ashley looked at him expectantly. "Well? How is it? Do you like it?"
Andrew chewed on the crisp, sensing a strange smell that made him uncomfortable.
It was sour and a little sweet and salty.
But when he saw Ashley's face, he nodded.
"I told you it's yummy. You can have this bag. Eat them," Ashley said, generously offering the bag to
him since Andrew had now admitted that the crisps were delicious. She then ruffled through the snacks
and brought out several bags of spicy meat.
Andrew speechlessly looked at the bag in his hand. Could this stuff actually be eaten?
But since Ashley had given it to him, he would eat it. He would eat anything that she offered him, even
poison. A crisp was no big deal.
Andrew believed that he was poisoned.
He was poisoned by something named Ashley.
If he didn't see Ashley for even one day, he would feel uncomfortable, as if a void had opened up in his
heart.
He glanced at her enjoying the food and realized that he was done for. He always wanted to be where
she was.
Now that Andrew had tasted it, he thought that the crisp didn't taste that bad. It was different and it felt
good.
Johnny drove the car without taking his eyes off the road. But he still observed the couple in the rear-
view mirror as he overheard their conversation, all with a stoic face.
Johnny was astonished to see Andrew eating the crisps.
Although his boss ate everything except spicy food and wasn't what was called a picky eater, he had a
high standard when it came to food. But Miss Mu had actually managed to satisfy him with a bag of
crisps.
Johnny was sure that this was the first time that his boss had eaten such snacks.
And he was eating them with such gusto!
Johnny couldn't help but touch his forehead to check if he was alright. It seemed that his boss would
never be above his wife in the future.
Johnny believed that it was wise to try and get Ashley's favor.
There was a strange smell in the car because of Ashley's snack-eating. Before, Andrew would have
gotten mad at any smell. But today, he didn't say anything.
As expected, other people couldn't be compared with Miss Mu.
It was just before dawn when they reached J City. Andrew didn't go back to the villa, but instructed
Johnny to drive to the company.
Ashley became sleepy after eating the snacks and soon fell asleep.
Andrew cautiously moved close to Ashley and put her head on his shoulder to let her sleep more
comfortably.
Andrew stared at Ashley's sleeping form and thought that he couldn't see her enough. He wouldn't ever
be tired of looking at her and could fix his eyes on her for a lifetime.
Looking at Ashley's lips that had turned red after she had eaten the spicy food, Andrew couldn't help
but kiss her on the lips.
Johnny was surprised to see his boss taking such gentle care of his wife.
Was this gentle and considerate man his boss? Or was he a fake? Would he leave them alone? He
didn't think he could bear to see that.
But right now, he realized how he looked, watching a couple in love, and caught himself in
time.
