"I just came here," Violet answered innocently. She didn't want Greg to misunderstand her in any manner. 'This man is so bossy that I feel so trapped, ' she thought to herself.
Greg put his pen down, rose and moved up to Violet.
Standing in front of Violet, Greg stretched out as he pulled her in his arms.
Greg lowered his head and looked at Violet. "Don't you know that you are very late?" he asked trying to intimidate her.
"Late, are you serious?" Violet retorted. Struggling to break out of Greg's arms, she said,"Let go of me! This is a hospital. If anyone sees us like this they are going to gossip."
"It's normal if I hug my love. No one dares to gossip," Greg replied casually.
"Can you stop acting so bossy, Greg Xiao?" Violet whined, frowning. 'What's wrong with him? Why does he always try to dominate me?' she wondered.
"What did you just call me?" Greg asked in a serious tone. 'This woman has dared to call my full name, ' he said to himself.
"Greg Xiao. I do not think you have any other name," Violet replied with a smug smile on her face. She understood what Greg meant. 'I usually call him Greg, but today I called his full name. He must have got irritated by now, ' she giggled inside.
"Do you think it is proper if you call out my full name?" Greg asked. 'This woman knows what I mean. She just tries to play dumb in front of me, ' he said to himself.
"What do you mean by that? Can you please explain? Is it illegal if I call you Greg Xiao?" Violet snapped, pouting. 'I'd like to see how this bossy man is going to respond to this, ' she snickered inwardly.
"Violet you are not allowed to call my name and that is confirmed by law," Greg declared.
"Law? What law? Why haven't I got to know about this?" Violet asked, looking up at Greg trying to show disbelief and shock.
"This isn't issued by any government but is one of our family rules. You must follow this," Greg said arrogantly. He wondered, 'At first, I thought she would play the fool. But now she is raising such a silly question. Where is the clever girl I knew before?'
"Ah, family rule?" Violet murmured. Pretending not to understand Greg's words, she went on,"Thankfully we don't have any such rule in the Chu family. All the rules have been set by my mother. Only my father and brother need to obey them. I and Mom are free from the rules."
Cheekily, she looked up at Greg. She was trying to piss off Greg on purpose.
