"En. It's a small French perfumery called Sang Bleu," Lisa confirmed.

Jennie alternated looking at him and at the purchase of business agreement in her hands. The documents were written in three languages: Chinese, French and English. The pile was certainly thicker than the documents she received for Gold Heights last Christimas.

She didn't know exactly what to feel at the moment. Why did the man keep on buying companies for her? At this rate, she would end up owning all of the companies in the world if he kept on buying and gifting them to her on every single special occasion.

"Hon, why?" she asked, feeling exasperated. At the same time, she also found him adorable.

He reminded her of their cats. Both Lily and Leo loved bringing them goodies as a display of their affection. The goodies included their toys, Jae's newly laundered socks (they couldn't handle the used ones, Leo once puked after smelling them), and some small dead animals like grasshoppers and birds.

Lisa was like the cats in the sense that he frequently gave her goodies as well. It was just that his definition of goodieswere extravagant surprises and companies.

"You don't like it?" he asked after realizing that she didn't look excited about his present.

He looked a little hurt when he didn't get the reaction he expected. However, he quickly covered it up behind an impassive expression. His lips pressed into thin line. Then he grabbed the documents from her and marched away.

"What are you doing?!" Jennie was horrified when she saw him toss the documents into the trash can. She ran and picked up the documents from the trash. "Hon, how could you?!"

"You don't want it, then it's useless. It belongs to the trash now," he said in a cold voice. "Throw it away."

Her chest hurt hearing the coldness in his tone. She immediately felt sorry for not reacting enthusiastically at his present for her. However, she didn't want to lie to him and give him a fake reaction. And even if she were to do that, he would probably detect that she was just pretending anyway.

"No, this is your anniversary present for me. I'm not going to throw it away," she said.

"Throw it. I'll get you another present," he replied. His voice was still cold.

She didn't like this cold Lisa, especially now that it was directed at her. Her eyes watered without her control, feeling guilty and hurt at the same time. But bubbling beneath these emotions was anger.

How dare he act cold to her? There was a strong urge to lash out at him, but she quickly controlled it. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

"Let's go to sleep now. It's late," she heard him say.

When she opened her eyes, he was already walking away. Her chest tightened, as she watched him disappear in their bedroom without waiting for her.

Huh? Were they fighting? Was this really happening during their anniversary? No!

A sense of panic flooded her. Without thinking, she immediately ran after him. She didn't see him when she arrived at the bedroom. Her panic intensified. Hearing some noise from the bathroom, she tossed the documents on the bed and headed there. She found him removing his belt in front of the sink. He was already shirtless.

She was momentarily distracted by his naked torso. His wide shoulders, muscled chest and hard abs...she almost drooled. She shook her head out of her daze, trying not to think too much of his deliciousness. This wasn't the right moment!

He only gave her a glance before ignoring her. Then he proceeded to brush his teeth, acting as if she wasn't even there.

"Hon?" she called in a small voice.
