However, it seed that it wasn’t just that secretary who thought this way; even the other secretaries imdiately considered this possibility.
"Oh my God, Assistant Xue, could Xiaolin really be right?"
"Please, let’s hope not. If the CEO and his wife are divorced, we won’t dare to believe in love anymore."
"We’ve always believed those online reports are false, just dia nonsense. How could the CEO’s wife have a daughter with another man?"
"Hurry and tell this isn’t true."
"Yeah, the CEO’s wife is so nice, and it’s clear she loves the CEO. How could she cheat?"
"..."
Assistant Xue stood there looking at this group of secretaries. In reality, everyone had worked for so long that he always knew that where there are won, there are gossip. Even this group of usually diligent and highly capable secretaries liked to gossip during normal tis.
Sotis, they even gossiped about him and the CEO.
"Assistant Xue, say sothing..."
Assistant Xue looked at everyone, smiled, and said, "Your imagination is indeed rich. Does this an you have too little work to do?"
As soon as Assistant Xue said this, everyone imdiately began wailing.
One slightly older-looking secretary spoke up directly, "Assistant Xue, we have plenty of work already, there’s no shortage! We’re just concerned about the CEO and his wife..."
As soon as that secretary finished speaking, soone imdiately echoed, "Yeah, everyone really likes the CEO’s wife and has always felt that the CEO and his wife could go all the way, so these sudden events are taking everyone by surprise."
Assistant Xue said, "Alright, alright, you don’t need to worry too much about the CEO and his wife’s issues. What should co will co. Everyone go ho and rest, and co in early tomorrow morning to prepare for the press conference."
With that, he turned and left without bothering to hear what the secretaries were about to say.
The secretaries watched Assistant Xue leave, and they all felt their curiosity had been piqued, yet they couldn’t satisfy it, making them feel quite uncomfortable.
A secretary, probably in her twenties, sat at her desk, looking in the direction of the door for a while before retracting her gaze.
The office was very quiet, and no one spoke. She was the first to break the silence, directly saying, "Do you think the CEO is really going to divorce the CEO’s wife?"
This question echoed through the office, reaching everyone’s ears.
"Probably not, right? The CEO loves his wife so much; we can’t help but envy that love."
"But the news sounds so genuine that at one point I almost believed the CEO’s wife had a child with another man. After all, didn’t the CEO’s wife leave the CEO and go abroad five years ago? Five years is a long ti, and who can predict what happened in between? Maybe it really is as the news says?"
Those words from the secretary struck a chord with everyone, and they were suddenly speechless, exchanging glances.
...
When Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen ca out, all the employees in the company had already gone ho from work. The lights in the corridor were still on, and the security hadn’t co to turn off the breaker yet. Song Qiao’s hand was tightly held by the man as she followed closely behind him.
The man was in a good mood; although he didn’t show it too obviously, his gentle gaze had made it more apparent than usual.
After entering the elevator, the two stood side by side. Lu Jingchen tilted his head and gazed at the woman beside him, speaking, "Can you tell about our daughter?"
Song Qiao paused, turned to look at him, revealing a brilliant smile, and said, "Okay."
After thinking it over, Song Qiao told Lu Jingchen about various things regarding Song Nianhuan from birth up to now, without hiding that Chu Munan was the little girl’s godfather, nor hiding the little girl’s occasionally cunning nature.
From the elevator to the way ho, and then all the way to the villa, it was all Song Qiao talking about Song Nianhuan’s growth over the past four years.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in the villa’s garage. Lu Jingchen turned his head to look at Song Qiao and then spoke, "So, should I thank Chu Munan?"
His tone was so neutral it was hard to discern any emotion, but Song Qiao felt she could hear a kind of teeth-gritting sensation from the man’s voice.
Her hand paused in unbuckling the seatbelt, and she turned to look at the man sitting motionless in the passenger seat, saying, "You upset five years ago and even pushed , nearly causing to hit a table. If it weren’t for Chu Munan, who knows if our son and daughter would have grown up safely."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen’s expression imdiately darkened. Although it was already five years ago, the events of that year were still fresh in his mind.
Indeed, it had been his fault at the ti, but if it weren’t for Chu Munan’s presence, he wouldn’t have misunderstood Song Qiao and wouldn’t have accidentally pushed her.
For a mont, Lu Jingchen felt quite uncomfortable, but he couldn’t say a word despite moving his lips.
When it ca to Chu Munan, this ’rival in love,’ he really couldn’t maintain a good attitude or opinion, considering they had even fought over Qiaoqiao once before.
Damn, he had been beaten so badly that his chest hurt like hell back then, and it was even more frustrating that Song Qiao had stayed by Chu Munan’s side, and then wanted a divorce from him.
Thinking about it, Lu Jingchen blad everything on Chu Munan.
Song Qiao didn’t pay him any more heed. Just monts before, the two of them had been fine, but as soon as she ntioned Chu Munan, this man’s attitude changed drastically.
He beca sowhat irrational and indiscriminate.
When Lu Jingchen saw Song Qiao getting out of the car without looking back, his handso face instantly darkened. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and hurried after her, his long legs striding directly toward Song Qiao.
The man’s steady footsteps ca from behind, getting closer and closer. Song Qiao didn’t stop walking, but after a few steps, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and before she could react, she was pulled into a broad chest.
Her nose collided with the man’s chest, almost bringing tears to her eyes with the pain. Covering her nose with her hand, she looked at him with a bit of dissatisfaction and said, "Lu Jingchen, what are you doing?"
