Ning Wanxi was wearing pajamas, and she directly lay on the bed, even covered herself with a quilt. She was lying in the spot where Luo Chao had been sleeping and softly said, "Miss Li, sleep early!"
At this mont, what else could Li Ruotong do, was she going to kick Ning away? That would only confirm she had sothing to hide, so she just slept beside her, secretly thinking, Luo Chao, I really have no choice.
Lying under the bed, Luo Chao was utterly speechless and choked up. Luckily, he was trained as a special forces soldier and had gone through harsh environnts. Whether it was cold floor tiles or cramped space under the bed, it wasn't a big deal. However, having to sleep on a cold floor when a warm bed was available made him feel a bit aggrieved.
No words were spoken throughout the night. The next morning, Ning Wanxi got up early, and what surprised both Luo Chao and Li Ruotong was that Ning had really forgotten her key in the room. Early in the morning, she called the attendant to open the door to her room.
Luo Chao believed that with Ning Wanxi's cool nature, she wouldn't resort to such childish tricks. The sad thing was, because of Ning's carelessness, he had to spend the night on the cold floor beneath the bed.
In Luo Chao's mind, even if Ning Wanxi really forgot her key in the room, he felt she was using this as an excuse to punish him intentionally.
After Ning Wanxi left, Luo Chao imdiately got up to catch up on sleep. Sleeping under the bed was impossible, and he didn't dare get up, fearing he would wake Ning Wanxi.
Li Ruotong had to go to Tengyuan Group's costics division today, so she left early as well, and Luo Chao slept until 10 o'clock. When he arrived at the company, it was almost 10:30.
"Director Lu, you're late again," Le Xiao, the receptionist at the costics company, said with a helpless smile, seeing the two baskets of buns Luo Chao was holding. "Is that lunch or breakfast?"
"Lunch and breakfast combined," Luo Chao replied with a smile, "Want to join ?"
Le Xiao shook her head, "I wouldn't dare. Eating during work hours will deduct money from our paychecks."
At this ti, Company General Manager Chen Mang seed to know Luo Chao had arrived. As soon as Luo Chao got there, he rushed out, saying urgently, "Brother Lu, everyone's waiting for you, hurry up."
Chen Mang quickly grabbed his clothes, leaving Luo Chao no choice but to follow him into the company's eting room, still carrying the buns. Once he got inside, the sight shocked Luo Chao; Ning Wanxi, Li Ruotong, Fang Simin, and all the departnt heads were there, everyone was indeed present.
However, as Luo Chao entered, everyone slled the buns. Especially Ning Wanxi, who furrowed her eyebrows and placed her fingers under her delicate nose, her eyes full of anger.
Chen Mang was very skilled at reading the situation. Seeing Ning's expression, his face turned pale, silently cursing himself for being foolish. He should have made Luo Chao throw away the buns earlier instead of allowing him to bring them into the eting room!
Originally, everyone thought Luo Chao would sheepishly walk out with the buns, but they were astonished when he plopped himself onto an empty seat and started eating with big bites. Everyone's face turned green, sneaking glances at Ning Wanxi, who looked as if she might as well have been made of ice. The whole eting room felt like a freezer, chilling everyone with a suffocating coldness.
Ning Wanxi clenched her fists, nearly wanting to rush over and punch him. He was utterly ignoring her as the president.
Luo Chao noticed all eyes on him and laughed, "Isn't there a eting going on? Keep going, why stare at ; want to join ?"
"Director Lu! Follow outside!" Ning Wanxi suddenly stood up, and everyone felt Luo Chao must be in trouble, lanting that he had brought this upon himself.
Li Ruotong, however, was not worried. They were married, after all. Quarrels at the head of the bed passed by the ti they reached the foot; how far could it really go?
Luo Chao did not rush to leave but finished the last bun before getting up and following Ning Wanxi into the president's office.
"What do you an by this?" Ning Wanxi asked with a frown as soon as he got in, "Not only were you late, but you also ate breakfast in the eting room. Please correct your attitude."
Luo Chao pursed his lips and said, "What's wrong with my attitude? Food is necessary, you have to let finish eating before I have the energy to work. I ate in the eting room to save ti, not to waste company ti."
"You always have excuses," Ning Wanxi said angrily, "Why did you only co late this morning? Everyone was waiting for you. Also, where were you last night? Your phone was off when I called!"
"My phone ran out of battery. I ran into an old classmate, had too much to drink, and slept over at his place," Luo Chao said, feeling guilty, uncertain whether Ning truly knew he had been under the bed last night, but she seed unaware.
"Without there, did you sleep well last night?" Luo Chao asked with a forced laugh, trying to change the subject and probe Ning Wanxi.
Ning Wanxi coldly replied, "Slept well. Even if you can't co back, at least call ."
Luo Chao then realized what had happened the previous night; Ning was perhaps no longer used to sleeping alone because she was afraid of the dark, and she might have been testing if he was with Li Ruotong. Since he wasn't, she ended up sleeping with Li Ruotong.
This was not Ning Wanxi trying to catch him cheating but an unintentional act. However, Luo Chao felt even more miserable, wondering what he'd done to deserve sleeping under a bed all night.
"Yes, Ma'am," Luo Chao saluted, causing Ning Wanxi's face to blush slightly. But Shen soon returned to her cool deanor, saying, "Smooth talk, I don't know what you're saying."
Ning Wanxi huffed as she walked out of the president's office, and when she reached the door, she coldly said with a soft voice, "If you dare defy within the company again, you'll be kneeling on a washboard at ho!"
"What!" Luo Chao was shocked. He was just joking, yet his wife ca up with such an unexpected threat!
When Ning Wanxi returned to the eting room, Luo Chao followed with a spring in his step. Everyone was stunned, noticing the blush on Ning's face hadn't completely faded. It was as if they'd been struck by lightning, shocked at the sight that Ning hadn't done anything to Director Lu and instead, he seed in high spirits.
Where was the cold and stern ice queen president who used to handle matters with shocking efficiency?
