Chapter 27: Cut the Hearts Out! (Part 2)

Finally, the two emerged from the bath.

While they were teasing each other because of their big fluffy white robes, they were surprised when they were greeted by a row of servants holding assorted dresses and suits for Sakura and Syaoran to choose from.

Standing at the frontline was the head butler of the Amamiya manor, Uncle Xi.

"Ojou sama, Young Master" he greeted the two politely, as he and the fifteen servants behind him bend from waist.

"Goshujin-sama has instructed this servant to inform ojou sama and the young master to change into these clothes promptly since today's appointments cannot be cancelled. Ye Sha is already outside waiting."

He remained in a deep bow until he finished talking.

Syaoran sighed as he watch Sakura's previously serene face slowly crumple into a frown as she listened to Uncle Xi.

Uncle Xi shudder as he felt the young mistress' deathly glare fixed on him. He dared not to raise his head and meet her eyes. No, he doesn't dare. He would rather keep his waist bent for hours rather than do that!

Looking at this scene, Syaoran hugged Sakura's shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

"Don't be mad anymore, sweetheart. Let's just get today over and done with so we can play later, alright?"

He pinched her chin lightly and lifted her face so that he can look into her eyes.

"I love you Sakura. Smile for me now,"

She narrowed her eyes at him.

Syaoran chuckled and kissed her on the lips.

"I promise to make it up to you."

She curved her small mouth into a pout, "I want to punch Natsume-nii!"

"We'll get back at him, honey. Now go get ready in in under 30 minutes. I will wait for you in the living room with Ye Sha."

"Mmm."

-XOXOXOXO-

Exactly 30 minutes later, Sakura entered the living room and saw Syaoran, his secretary Rachel, and Eriol going through some documents. Ye Sha is on the phone standing not far from them.

Sensing Sakura's presence, Syaoran looked up and raised one of his eyebrows as he scrutinized her outfit.

She stared back at him and gave him a look that says 'No, I wouldn't change even if you ask me to.'

"Hey Sakura, I need to take a photo of you and send it immediately to Tomoyo. You know I can't not do what she says." Eriol smiled at her apologetically.

Sakura laughed a little and placed her hand on her hip. "I know. When I saw those rows of clothes I immediately knew they're all from Tomoyo. I already called her up and sent her a photo but she still insisted that you still have to do it too. Come on, just take the photo now so we can leave."

Syaoran frowned. "Isn't the slit of your skirt too high?"

Sakura glanced on her reflection on the sliding doors.

She was wearing one of Chanel's latest collections that her cousin Tomoyo sent her from France where she's been staying for the past six months.

Her outfit consisted of a plain beige silk camisole that she casually tucked inside the yellow tweed pencil-cut skirt that hugged her hips and slim thighs perfectly. The skirt is to be worn high-waisted and it shows off her tiny waist.

Partnered with a simple beige Yves Saint Laurent 3 cm high pumps, Sakura's outfit perfectly suited her as a modern heiress.

Syaoran doesn't mind these at first but when he saw that the skirt has a side slit on the left side that goes up to a bit higher than her mid thigh, he flipped.

"It is not that high, Xiao Lang."

"It is too high. And why would you wear a camisole to the office? You are not allowed to."

Sakura covered her mouth with her hand to muffle her laughter. "Honey, I have a blazer! I just did not wear it yet because I rushed here and suddenly I feel a bit warm."

A servant appeared behind Sakura and helped her wear the matching yellow tweed slim blazer. She also helped her wear short cream gloves, then the servant handed her a small beige Prada saffiano purse.

"Ojou sama, your mobile and other personal items are already inside the purse."

"Alright, thank you. You may leave now."

The servant gave bowed before leaving the room.

"Come on, we need to hurry up now. Natsume-nii kept calling my mobile a few minutes ago."

"What did he say?"

Sakura snaked her arms through Syaoran's as they head outside where two black Maybachs are waiting for them.

"Ignored it."

Syaoran tugged her arm to pull her nearer for a quick kiss.

"Mmm. I have a feeling Hyuuga is burning with rage as of this moment."

Sakura nipped his chin and murmured, "I really don't give a sh* right now."

A sound of someone clearing his throat came from behind them and Syaoran lifted his sight from Sakura's lips to look over.

Eriol pointed to his watch.

"Get in the car and just continue flirting inside. We need to get moving."

Sakura narrowed her eyes at Eriol.

"I hate everyone today." She angrily walked towards the car and the driver who was holding the door open for them kept his head low, praying that the ojou sama won't pick on him seeing that she is in a bad mood.

Syaoran held out his hand and took some folders from his secretary.

"I'll go through this on the ride over. Sit with Eriol on the other car. Ye Sha, stay with us."

"Yes, Boss."

"Yes, Li-sama."

Syaoran stepped into the car and the corners of his mouth lifted a little when he saw Sakura comfortably seated by the corner, a few large pillows were placed behind her and she was holding a thermos in one hand and an ipad on the other.

"Comfortable?" He teased her as he sat beside her. The car is very spacious inside. Although not as big as a limousine, Syaoran instructed to have a built in ref inside and with a switch of a button, a table will also appear in front of him.

It is normal for him to continue his work during rides to and from meetings or even when he is on his way to the airport. As the CEO of a famous conglomerate, his paperworks never ceases. His absence from work since yesterday has already cost him an increase in workload and so here he is, going through documents and signing contracts during the 30 minute ride to the main building of the Amamiya Group of Companies.

Syaoran was deeply engrossed in reading a file that he did not notice Sakura intently watching him as she sipped her black coffee from the thermos the driver gave her before.

She quietly pouted as she felt neglected during the ride. Yes, Syaoran gave her a quick kiss as soon as he got in and before he started working but… well, she's really bored right now.

She glanced at Syaoran's Patek Philippe watch and inwardly groaned. It's only been 10 minutes and she's already bored out of her mind.

She turned her attention towards the ipad in her hand and continued to read the business news. 'Might as well. Nii-sama might ask me some questions later and I need to be prepared.'

Twenty minutes in the ride, Syaoran finally signed two contracts. He glanced beside him to see what Sakura's doing and found her staring intently on her ipad. Curious, he leaned back a little to see what's caught her attention like that and he saw her looking at a Patek Philippe website, particularly on the women's rare handcrafted section. He squinted his eyes and saw the exact model she was looking at so he took out his mobile and quickly sent a message to one of his assistants.

"Honey, what are you looking at?" Syaoran set his documents inside the folder and set it aside.

He pulled Sakura to his chest and hugged her.

She looked up at him and happily snuggled to his side.

"Are you done with work?"

"Well, that's a tough question." Sakura love the way the corners of his eyes wrinkle whenever he smile or laugh. She pulled his head down and kissed the the corner of his left eye. Syaoran was taken by surprise, and his eyes sparkled happily.

"Anyway, what is my adorable wife busy looking at?" He took the ipad from her hands and looked at the screen.

"I want to have the same watch as yours so I was browsing through the website. But then I saw this one and it looked so beautiful, I was wondering if they have it in stock here in Japan. Can we check it out later?"

Sakura pointed at a handcrafted rose gold watch with almost two thousand small diamonds set in a beautiful foliage pattern.

"Mmm. This is worthy of my wife's wrist. Let's buy this. But I cannot accompany you tonight, Natsume and I have to go to six business meetings right after the general meeting at AGC." He pressed her tightly on his chest and intertwined his right hand with her right gloved hand. He placed it on his lips and said apologetically. "I am really sorry, Sakura. Are you disappointed in me?"

She quickly shook her head.

"Of course not. I understand that those businessmen are probably set to leave the country by tomorrow so today is the only chance to meet up with them. I can never get disappointed with you regarding this things, Xiao Lang. I know that you would rather spend your time with me."

A fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

"I blame Natsume-nii."

He chuckled and then bent down to kiss her full on the lips. When she passionately responded back, he placed her hand on his neck as he supported the bottom of her head with his hand.

Sakura closed her eyes and hungrily kissed him. She could never get enough of him and her body is very much responding to his caresses. She let out a moan inside his mouth and Syaoran gently bit her lower lip before pulling back.

"We'll be arriving in a few minutes. Fix yourself up first." He gave her one last kiss before reaching out for her purse. He opened it and took a few tissues and wiped away her messed up lipstick. "I'd rather lick away your lipstick than use tissue."

"Pervert."

"And it's not just the lipstick that I plan to lick." He wagged his eyebrows at her.

She felt the tip of her ears burning.

"Mou~~~ Xiao Lang! Stop teasing me anymore! If you can't finish it right now, then let's not continue anymore!"

He laughed at her cheeky response and roughly took her hand and placed it on his little brother. "It's not just you who's having a difficult time, Sak."

Sakura's face has now turned completely red.

"Xiao Lang!"

She pulled her hand away and turned her back at him as she scanned outside. She realized that they'll be arriving in 5 minutes so she quickly combed her hair and pulled it up in a simple bun at the top of her head. She took out a makeup remover wipes and cleaned up her messed up lipsticks and reapplied it. She fixed her pearl earrings and dabbed a few drops of perfume at the back of her ears, on the base of her neck, on her wrists, and on the back of her knees.

Syaoran frowned at her. "Do you really need to make the back of your knees smell too good?"

She winked at him "Of course. I want everyone to stare at my beautiful back once I pass by them."

He pinched her chin and gritted his teeth. "Are you purposely making me jealous?"

"Are you jealous?"

"Definitely."

Sakura laughed out loud. "Oh honey, why are you so adorable!" She pinched his cheeks and kissed the tip of his nose.

She then settled back on her seat as the car approach the front entrance of the domineering AGC building.

Syaoran grumpily checked his file folder to make sure all documents are secured. He refused to look at Sakura despite her calling his name, and Sakura found it funny.

"Come on honey, we're about to go down. Do you really want to fight now?"

She pinched his waist and he jerked away, feeling ticklish.

He glared at her.

"We'll discuss about this tonight."

"About what?"

"The places where you can put on perfume."

She laughed and threw her arms happily around his neck. She rubbed the tip of their nose together as she whispered to him,

"You are so cute, I want to eat you up right now. I love you husband!"

Hearing the words 'husband', Syaoran's mood was lifted but he still tried to act angry at her. "Alright, let's go now."

When the driver alighted from the car and went to their side to open the door for them, Syaoran went out first and he reached out to help Sakura out. He took her purse and instructed the driver to give his file folder to his secretary.

Holding Sakura's purse in one hand, and Sakura's hand on the other, Syaoran turned to face Ye Sha who is standing a foot beside him.

"Ye Sha, tell Natsume we'll meet him at Touya's office and that I am too busy to call him myself."

"As you said, Li-sama" Ye Sha quickly called Natsume as he follow behind Syaoran and Sakura who headed towards the VIP lift.

"Excuse me sir, may I ask -"

One of the two lady receptionists tried to catch Syaoran's attention, and when he glanced over to their desk, their eyes widened when they recognize who he is.

The two quickly stood up and bent their waist in formal greeting.

"Ah, good morning Li-sama. We apologize for our rudeness, we failed to recognize you from afar. The meeting will be held in the 40th floor, at the Sapphire Room."

Syaoran gave a curt nod and turned his back on them.

"Ano, excuse me Li-sama, but we need to take note of the name of the lady accompanying you besides Miss Rachel."

Sakura raised an eyebrow at Syaoran. Without looking back at the receptionist, Sakura instructed her, "Write down Li Syaoran's fiancé."

With that, she smirked at Syaoran and they walked briskly towards the lift, all eyes in the lobby turned at them.

"She's Li-sama's fiancé?" Receptionist #1 stuttered.

"Li-sama is engaged?!" Receptionist #2's hand trembled as she typed the information in the visitor's log.

"When did that happen? Was it in the news yet?"

Inside the private lift.

Syaoran pressed the code to Touya's office at the 55th floor before he turned to Sakura.

"Honey, you caused such a ruckus in your company's lobby. Your brother won't be too pleased." He gently pinched Sakura's nose and she angrily pushed him away.

Sakura raised her chin arrogantly.

"Did I say anything wrong?"

"You performed perfectly." Syaoran hugged her in his arms as she stretched her lips up to him, asking him for a kiss.

Which he definitely gave her.

"Cough, cough"

"Mmm?" Syaoran looked at Eriol who has clearing his throat.

"Come on man, we're all here inside. Cut the lovey dovey stuff and wait when we cannot see you."

Rachel's ears were bright red while Ye Sha appeared to be asleep as he leaned casually with arms folded across him.

Syaoran glared at his friend. He did not kiss Sakura anymore but he kept his arm around her waist. When the doors opened, they were immediately greeted by Touya's female receptionist and she lead them inside.

"Finally, you have arrived." Touya glanced at them for a moment before looking back at the documents in his hands. "Give me five minutes then we need to talk over some things, Li."

"Sure." Syaoran casually answered him as he lead Sakura to one side of Touya's office. It was Sakura's first time to go herr and her eyes were wide in appreciation as she look around.

Touya's office occupied half of the 55th floor, so one can imagine the grandness of it. On the side where they will wait for him, a sitting area was set right beside the full length glass window. As Eriol, Ye Sha, and Rachel sat down obediently as two of Touya's assistants serve them tea and snacks, Sakura ran towards the window and looked down at the beautiful Tokyo scenery before her.

"Wow, Nii-sama's office is so cool!"

Syaoran walked over to Touya's drink bar and got himself a glass of old scotch.

"You really like it?"

Sakura nodded eagerly.

"Want me to kick him out for you?"

Sakura made a face at him as she giggled childishly.

"Yeah right, Xiao Lang. Like you can do that to Nii-sama."

"Do you want me to? I'll do it if you ask." He took a sip of his drink and strolled over to where she was standing.

"Nah, not worth it. I'll think of something else then you go get it from Nii-sama for me."

"Anything for you, honey." he raised his glass to her and gave her a wink.

Sakura closed the gap between them and hugged his waist as they both watched over the city below, pointing at things and kissing from time to time.

"Oh brother." Eriol pressed the area between his eyebrows as he removed his eyeglasses. He is truly getting sick of these two that he cannot wait for the meeting to start. He glanced at his watch and sighed.

"Just take a nap." Ye Sha advised him as he leaned comfortably on the couch across Eriol.

Eriol groaned. "I wish I can. I seriously wish I can."
