"What are you talking about? I just ca out for so fresh air."
Su Chen definitely didn't want to admit that he had been driven out by Lin Ruoxue; wouldn't that be too damaging to his pride as a man?
"Why does it not seem like that to ?"
Zhao Lin gave him a sidelong glance, then walked over to him and leaned against the railing by his side.
But as soon as she leaned in, Su Chen moved slightly to the side.
"Manager, what do you an by that?"
Zhao Lin, seeing him dodging her, imdiately said unhappily:
"Do I have sothing dirty on or what?"
"No, it's just a bit hot."
Su Chen blurted out an excuse, his face looking sowhat unnatural.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes. It's almost winter, for goodness' sake, and yet he claims it's a bit hot; who's he trying to fool?
However, a mont later, her beautiful eyes shifted, and she instantly understood why Su Chen was behaving so oddly. A fox-like smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Manager, how could it be? I actually feel cold!"
Zhao Lin snuggled closer to Su Chen, her voice sickly sweet:
"Don't believe , feel my hands, they're still ice cold!"
With that, Zhao Lin stretched out a pair of slender, delicate hands.
If it had been any other ti, Su Chen would have touched them, and might even have said, "Since you're so cold, as your manager, I should help warm you up."
But now, how could he dare to touch, considering his wife was right inside the house, and might even be watching?
"If you're cold, you should hurry back and put on more clothes; it's not good if you catch a cold."
Su Chen said evenly, and at the sa ti, he shifted his body a bit more to the side.
"No, wearing too many clothes won't look good; then you might not like anymore!"
Zhao Lin said coquettishly, her voice becoming much more seductive than usual, continuing to move closer to Su Chen until she was almost in his arms.
On hearing this, Su Chen imdiately groaned inwardly, thinking: You little vixen, are you trying to kill ?
Don't you know that my wife is just in the room?
"Not at all. You all work diligently for the company. As long as it's for the company's best interests, as your manager, I like each and every one of you!"
Su Chen quickly spoke with righteous indignation.
"But manager, why are you staying so far from ? I'm not a tiger, and I can't eat you. Besides, you weren't like this before, were you?"
Zhao Lin pretended to be a bit puzzled and slightly sad as she spoke.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chen almost wanted to cry but had no tears left. Oh my goodness, you're really trying to play to death!
What was before was before, can't you see the situation now?
If I get close to you, Lin Ruoxue, who sticks to her official duties, might not do anything to you, but she'll certainly kill !
"Previously, we were nearby each other because we were discussing work; there was no avoiding that. But as the saying goes, 'n and won should not touch hands when they give or receive things.' It's not work ti now, so it's better for us to keep our distance, lest we give rise to misunderstandings!"
Su Chen said righteously, as if he were a true gentleman!
Thankfully, Su Chen was clever enough to quickly fill the pit Zhao Lin had dug for him, which even made him start to admire himself a bit!
Having a "fierce wife" really does train all sorts of abilities, doesn't it?
"Alright, I'm out of cigarettes. I'm going down to buy a pack."
Su Chen declared and imdiately ran towards the stairwell like a gust of wind, not even having ti to wait for the elevator.
He didn't know what else might happen if he stayed there, whether Lin Ruoxue would flay him alive!
Zhao Lin watched his flustered retreat and couldn't help but burst into laughter, then walked over to the other side.
anwhile, Lin Ruoxue in the room had just finished changing clothes. She looked out the window where the two of them had just been standing, clenching her teeth as she spoke:
"So this is how you usually work! It seems I've been too lenient with you!"
After Su Chen went downstairs, he smoked a cigarette, then went back upstairs. He needed to talk about Lin Ruoxue's side of the story!
"Wife, have you changed your clothes? Can I co in now?"
Su Chen gently knocked on the door and asked cautiously.
"Co in."
A calm voice ca from inside.
"Wife, the clothes you're wearing on the ship are really beautiful!"
Su Chen just pushed the door open and even before he saw what Lin Ruoxue was wearing, he had already started to flatter her, his face wearing a sycophantic smile.
Lin Ruoxue found his cautious manner sowhat amusing, but she soon reigned in her smile and returned to a composed expression.
"Wife, you haven't had dinner yet, right? How about we go out to eat now?"
Su Chen ventured to ask.
"Mmm, okay."
Lin Ruoxue nodded expressionlessly.
Su Chen was montarily confused by Lin Ruoxue's reaction; it wasn't supposed to be like this, at least Lin Ruoxue shouldn't be this calm, right?
Could it be that she didn't hear or see the scene with Zhao Lin and him just now? But they were only a few ters apart; even if she didn't see, she should have heard sothing, right?
"Didn't we say we were going to eat? Why aren't you moving?"
Lin Ruoxue spoke up and took the lead out of the room.
Su Chen watched Lin Ruoxue's retreating figure and felt sothing was off; this was not at all the scene he had imagined.
Even if it wasn't a storm, it shouldn't be as calm and sunny as it is now!
"What are you thinking about? Aren't you coming?"
Lin Ruoxue turned back, saw his dazed, bewildered face, and then turned around to continue walking towards the elevator, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp gleam!
"Oh, coming."
Su Chen, like a monk puzzled by a riddle, hurriedly followed.
Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Besides, isn't this good?
Am I so masochistic that I actually want Lin Ruoxue to blow up at ?
Shortly thereafter, the two of them ended up in a relatively clean, rather upscale small restaurant near the apartnt.
The appearance of a beauty like Lin Ruoxue imdiately caused a stir in the restaurant!
After all, a beauty like Lin Ruoxue is a rare sight in all of Huaxia!
However, both of them ignored the gazes of others and took a seat at a small table, ordering so dishes.
"Have you been behaving since you ca to Yandu? Haven't you caused any trouble?"
Lin Ruoxue asked. What she worried about most in Jianghai was this very issue, as she never underestimated her husband's tendency to cause trouble.
Jianghai was sowhat safer, considering the Lin Family was well-known there, but Yandu was different from Jianghai.
After all, it gathered the top echelons from all over Huaxia; if he upset so major figures or powers, it could spell disaster!
So before he ca to Yandu, she warned him thousands of tis to restrain his nature and avoid trouble here.
Yet, what she could never have imagined was that Su Chen's trip here was precisely to "cause trouble," and it was to stir up a major disaster!
But of course, Su Chen would never say this out loud. Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, he nodded hastily:
"Extrely well-behaved, in and out every day; don't worry!"
"I'd be surprised if I could!"
Lin Ruoxue gave him a sharp look...
