Chapter 187: The Plan Succeeds

Fang Xiaonuan paced back and forth anxiously. She simply took the document her husband was holding and stopped him from working. “Why don’t I just confess and say that I lied before?”

Ji Lingchen said, “It’s useless.” As he spoke, he took the document from her and opened it.

Fang Xiaonuan took the document again, closed it, and threw it to the side. Then, she cupped her husband’s face with both hands and made him look at her. “If this news continues to spread, it won’t be good for everyone.”

“I do have a way to help you resolve this matter, but there’s something you have to promise me. Promise you’ll let me sleep in the bedroom tonight,” Ji Lingchen said.

“Alright, I promise,” Fang Xiaonuan agreed readily.

Ji Lingchen had succeeded. He got up and left the office. He first went to the pantry to choose a drink for his wife.

At this moment, Secretary Song came to the pantry. “CEO Ji, did you manage to comfort her?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Yes and no.”

Actually, he had already thought of this plan when they were in the elevator. That was why he had deliberately brought up the matter of him becoming a “father” in the elevator, in order to make his little wife feel guilty. As expected, when his wife walked out of the elevator and faced everyone’s gazes, she immediately panicked. Once she panicked, she lost her focus. She became consumed with how to explain herself. After that, she naturally fell into his trap. He would not have to sleep in the study!

“Other than peach-flavored drinks, what other flavors are good?” Ji Lingchen asked.

“Why don’t we let Madam drink a cup of green apple-flavored soda?” Secretary Song suggested.

“Is there anything else?” Ji Lingchen asked. If he let his kitten drink a refreshing drink, she might come to her senses and realize his plan.

Secretary Song chose another grapefruit-flavored soda and handed it to Ji Lingchen. “CEO Ji, this one tastes pretty good too.”

“Yes, this will be fine.” Ji Lingchen took the drink and deliberately walked around outside. He took his time. Then, he returned to the office with two drinks.

When Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband return, she quickly went up to him and asked, “Hubby, how did it go? Have you explained everything clearly?”

Ji Lingchen’s face was calm. “I’ve explained everything clearly.”

Fang Xiaonuan let out a long sigh of relief. The huge burden on her chest was finally lifted. “That’s good.”

Ji Lingchen opened the drink and handed it to his wife. “Wait for me on the sofa. I need to work for a while. Then, I’ll bring you out for a meal.”

Fang Xiaonuan took the drink, took a sip, and happily went to the sofa.

Looking at his little wife’s cute demeanor, Ji Lingchen’s lips unconsciously curled up. As he perused his documents, he kept looking back at his wife.

While Fang Xiaonuan was waiting for her husband, she wandered around the room out of boredom. She casually picked up the documents in the bookcase and looked at them. She realized that they were all in foreign languages, and she could not understand a single word. She put them back in their original positions with a look of disgust. Then, she went to the window and looked out casually like a child waiting for school to end. After a while, she ran back to the sofa, sat down, and looked up at the ceiling. How boring! She had finished the first drink. She picked up the second bottle and twisted the cap, but after trying for a long time, she could not open it. She pouted and twisted it again with all her strength.

Ji Lingchen happened to see this. He snickered. A moment later, he knocked on the table.

Fang Xiaonuan heard the sound and looked over. “What’s wrong, hubby?”

Ji Lingchen waved at her and opened his palm. Fang Xiaonuan walked over and handed the drink to her husband. Ji Lingchen easily opened the bottle and handed it back to his wife.

Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband had opened the bottle so easily. She pouted and asked aggrievedly, “Hubby, how many cows did you have to eat before you became so strong?”

Ji Lingchen was speechless.

Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue mischievously. By the time Ji Lingchen reacted, she had already skipped away with the drink in her hand. She returned to the sofa and played with her phone for a while. Then, she was in a daze. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to ask her husband, “Hubby, I’m the CEO’s wife, right?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Yes, is there a need to ask?”

Fang Xiaonuan frowned and pursed her lips. She mumbled, “That’s not right. Since I’m the CEO’s wife, whether I’m pregnant or not, how dare the employees gossip about me?”

The employees of the CEO’s office were always under her husband’s nose. How dare they talk about the CEO’s wife?

“Hubby, were you trying to trick me just now?” Fang Xiaonuan said, narrowing her eyes.

Obviously, Ji Lingchen could not come clean. He asked, “How did I trick you?”
