His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 373

Upon noticing Mr. Xu's scowling face, Leila grabbed several tissues and tried to clean up his shirts in a hurry as she panicked. "Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry. How about... we head to the rest room? There I will be able to help clean your clothes properly, " she suggested in an apologetic tone.

"Fine, " Mr. Xu replied, as he got back up.. As soon as they entered the bathroom, Mr. Xu closed the door deliberately. Leila took some tissues from the counter, opened the tap and soaked the tissues. "I'm really sorry for getting you into such a mess with my clumsy actions, " she apologized as she rigorously kept wiping his shirts with tissues.

"It's fine, " Mr. Xu responded with a sly yet content smile. Leila's hands lingered around his chest for quite a while, which turned Mr. Xu on.

"Leila, " Mr. Xu called out her name, as he grabbed her hand and pressed her against the basin. "You are so beautiful, " he continued, as he stared at her with obsessive eyes.

"Am I?" Leila responded calmly, as she smiled at him. "Do you think that I am prettier than your assistant?"

Mr. Xu was shocked as he realized that Leila had found out about their relationship. "How did you know?" he asked, looking confused and curious.

"Her expressions showed how she felt about you very evidently, " Leila answered confidently. "When we were in the compartment, you didn't see her expressions. It looked like she was trying to kill me with her furious eyes. I am a woman, so I am sensitive and aware of these matters. I don't think she was so hostile towards me simply because I am more attractive than her. The only explanation for her hostility is you!" she explained as she perched herself on the edge of the basin.

"You are a good observer. There is nothing to hide really. Yes, she is my mistress indeed. But..." Mr. Xu said frankly, as he began to laugh.

"But what?" Leila asked as she continued to smile.

"But I am more interested in you now. How much does Mr. Lu pay you? I will pay double as long as you are willing to come work with me at my company. What do you think of my offer?" Mr. Xu offered as he pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Mr. Xu..." Leila said in a sweet tone, as she pulled his collar playfully. "You haven't answered my question yet. Who is more lovely, your secretary or me?"

"You, of course you. There is no doubt about it, " Mr. Xu replied without even hesitating for a second. Mr. Xu then pounced on Leila in an attempt to kiss her. All of a sudden, someone kicked the door open. "Leo, dare you to repeat this again?" his assistant shouted, as she strode to him.

"Carol, I can explain this..." Leo said, flustered. Leo immediately panicked at the sight of Carol standing at the door. Leila could not understand why he would fear his assistant like this especially considering what all he said.

"Explain? I first saw you flirting with this woman all night and now this, " Carol yelled at him, as she glanced at Leila with disgust and fury. Leila jumped down from the basin, and then smoothed out her clothes. Carol came inside blazing with anger when she saw Leila's gloating expression. "You're such a bitch. I know that you were trying to covet Leo all night long. I will teach you a lesson and let you know the consequence of seducing someone's beloved, " Carol scolded, with an intention to raise her hand to hit Leila who was standing across her.

"Carol, please calm down. This is not what you imagined. It is just a misunderstanding, " Leo explained, as he put his hands around her waist in a bid to stop her.

"Leo, if you don't let me go now, I will tell this to my cousin. I'm sure that she will fix you, " Carol warned him with an ultimatum. Upon hearing this, Leo withdraw his hands almost immediately. "Carol, you can't always use your cousin to threaten me. You know her temper. If she finds out about this, she will give me a hard time over nothing. Can you bear the thought of her beating me to death?" he said, with a rather upset look.
