Zong Jinghao played along with her. He looked up at her, narrowing his eyes, and said in his magnetic and deep voice, “If I say that I miss you, would you allow me to do something in the office?”
Lin Xinyan’s coquettish image was destroyed instantly, as she couldn’t put up the act any longer. There’s no way she could beat him in a battle of shamelessness.
She let go of his chin, but Zong Jinghao held her hand in place and chuckled. “Leaving right after teasing me?”
Lin Xinyan whined coquettishly at him. “I didn’t tease you. Plus, there’re no witnesses.”
Zong Jinghao burst into laughter and said, “From now on, I’ll take a video of everything you do to me as proof in the future.”
Lin Xinyan didn’t play around with him. Instead, she stood up from his lap. “Do your work. I’ll wait for you at the side.”
Zong Jinghao gripped her hand and refused to let go. “I’ll look through the documents with you in my arms.”
Lin Xinyan felt embarrassed. “What do we do if others see us?”
Zong Jinghao said righteously, “We are husband and wife, so they can’t say anything.”
Lin Xinyan was reluctant, but Zong Jinghao insisted and pulled her into his embrace, wrapping one of his arms around her waist while reading through the documents.
Knowing his personality, Lin Xinyan didn’t struggle anymore. She made herself comfortable sitting on his legs. Many men were plump at his age, but he didn’t have any paunch. All he had was a firm six-pack without an ounce of fat on his abdomen. Even women would be jealous of his figure.
Being swallowed by boredom, Lin Xinyan asked, “Don’t you feel uncomfortable hugging me like this?”
Zong Jinghao lowered his gaze at her and replied, “I don’t. I enjoy hugging you.”
Lin Xinyan smiled when she leaned in his chest. “What do you think Shen Peichuan’s girlfriend’s like? She must be something to enlighten Peichuan this dense about relationships.”
Shen Peichuan is a pretty nice man, but he’s really dense when it comes to love.
He actually has a girlfriend! He even denied it the last time Su Zhan insisted on him having one.
She asked, “Have you met Sang Yu before?”
Zong Jinghao said no.
He saw her, but he forgot.
Su Zhan brought her to the company when things went wrong last time.
Lin Xinyan couldn’t understand the documents, and she yawned as she grew tired. “When will you finish?”
Zong Jinghao patted her back and said, “Go ahead and sleep. I’ll wake you once I’m done.”
Lim Xinyan hummed in reply before closing her eyes.
Two hours had passed, and Zong Jinghao’s legs were numb. However, Lin Xinyan was sleeping soundly in his arms, so he didn’t move at all, as he didn’t want to wake her.
“You should wake me up.” Rubbing her eyes, Lin Xinyan got up from his chest. She gulped the glass of water from the table to relieve her dry throat after sleeping for a long time.
Zong Jinghao rubbed his numb legs and said, “You were sleeping so soundly, so I couldn’t get myself to wake you up.”
After putting the glass aside, Lin Xinyan hugged and kissed him. “Hubby, where do we go for lunch?”
Her calling him “hubby” shocked Zong Jinghao. “What did you call me just now?” And he looked at her in disbelief.
Lin Xinyan stood up straight and retorted, “Did I call you?”
Zong Jinghao laughed helplessly. “You’re getting more and more cunning by the day.”
“People describe foxes as cunning beings.” Lin Xinyan supported herself along the table edge.
Zong Jinghao stood up and carried her in his arms. “You’re a vixen.”
Lin Xinyan swayed her calves, enjoying the princess-carry, his warmth, and his care. “Do you like a vixen like me?” She smiled gently.
“I’m bewitched by one, and I wish to sleep with her.” Zong Jinghao placed her on the sofa. “Let’s eat at the cafeteria.”
Lin Xinyan nodded obediently and said, “Let’s do as you say.”
Zong Jinghao smiled and brushed her nose.
The lunch break for every employee was at ten past eleven. Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan were late for ten minutes, so when they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone was already there.
Guan Jing came later than them. He saw them while holding his meal tray and greeted them. “Mr. Zong, Mrs. Zong.”
Surprised at their presence, he asked, “Are you guys here for lunch?”
Lin Xinyan smiled. “What else can we do here?”
Guan Jing chuckled. The food in the cafeteria is delicious, but they can never beat those in restaurants.
At that moment, someone stood up and said, “Congratulations, Mr. Zong.”
On their wedding day, Zong Jinghao gave every employee a bonus of two thousand in a red envelope.
They got all warm and chummy and addressed Lin Xinyan as Mrs. Zong.
Before they had their wedding reception, everyone knew their relationship, but they didn’t dare to address Lin Xinyan simply.
But now, everyone in the country knew.
“Sit here. There are empty seats.” The secretary sat at a table and asked the couple to sit with her.
When they were busy in the past, Zong Jinghao always ate in the cafeteria, so everyone got used to it. But this was the first time the lady boss came here.
Somebody shifted and left an open space. “You can sit here too. We have some space left.”
“Thank you, guys. But we’ll sit here.” Lin Xinyan smiled and pulled Zong Jinghao to the secretary’s table.
The secretary is the first person to offer, so it is best to sit with her.
Everyone had a good impression of Lin Xinyan, as she was friendly and never behaved arrogantly. Now, she was with Zong Jinghao in the cafeteria, and they treated her with warmth and respect.
Lin Xinyan couldn’t enjoy her meal as people went to greet them once they finished their food.
“Get used to it. We finally have a lady boss, so we’re happy.” Guan Jing finished his food and walked toward them. He took the chance to blend in with the two people greeting her and teased her.
I regret looking down on her. She’s now so popular and well supported by others. Sure enough, I don’t have a keen eye for people.
And that’s why I couldn’t become a boss, but an employee.
Zong Jinghao looked up at him. “Are you not busy?”
Guan Jing laughed awkwardly and said, “I’m here to say hi.”
Before leaving the couple, he told Lin Xinyan, “See, he always pressures me.”
Lin Xinyan laughed and bumped Zong Jinghao’s shoulder. “You should treat your subordinates kindly.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Zong Jinghao snorted coldly.
Lin Xinyan stayed at the company for the entire day. After receiving a call from Zong Yanxi, Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan got off work and went back home to fetch their daughter, who insisted on going with them to the restaurant.
By the time they arrived, Su Zhan was already there.
