Chapter 198 - 198: The Hidden Madam of the CEO
At this moment, someone was already sending messages in Jin Nian’s group chat.
“So, Sister Nian’s husband is CEO Lu?”
“The person next to me is the CEO’s wife!”
“Jin Nian, you’ve hidden this so well.”
“Jin Nian, why aren’t you saying anything? Say something!”
Jin Nian didn’t dare to speak.
She chose to remain silent.
At this moment, the organization’s office resembled a boiling pot of water. People in the group chat quickly spread the news to those who were unaware.
Colleagues from the same team looked curiously at Jin Nian’s workstation and found it empty.
This fueled their imagination further.
He Ming noticed that Jin Nian hadn’t sent any messages to the group for a while and sent a private message, “Oh my god, did you send the wrong message to the group?”
Jin Nian and He Ming had nothing to hide from each other, so she replied with a crying emoji.
He Ming understood her.
He Ming said, “Wow, so you’re the legendary CEO’s wife!”
At this point, the boss, Lin Qianyu, also sent a private message to Jin Nian, “Are you CEO Lu’s wife?”
Jin Nian suddenly felt the urge to block Lin Qianyu.
If he hadn’t suddenly sent a question mark in the group chat, everyone might not have been paying attention to the work group, and they wouldn’t have caught on so quickly.
This guy had asked in the group and even sent her a private message!
Jin Nian didn’t want to respond to this guy’s message. Lu An, who was standing nearby, took Jin Nian’s phone and replied, “Yes.”
On the other end, Lin Qianyu might have been too shocked to reply to Jin Nian immediately.
“Lu An!” Jin Nian felt like a bolt from the blue. “Aren’t you just causing trouble for me? I wanted you to help me!”
“Isn’t this helping you?” Lu An said confidently.
“You’re just seeking trouble for me!”
It was almost time to finish work. Jin Nian and Lu An stood by the window.
The sun was setting in the west, casting warm orange light through the glass onto Lu An. It highlighted his neat short hair, his handsome profile, and the smile he was struggling to suppress.
Lu An was always like this. Things that seemed catastrophic to others were no big deal to him.
Jin Nian furrowed her brow, lowered her eyes, and then looked up at Lu An, appearing innocent and helpless.
Lu An also wanted to show sympathy for Jin Nian at this moment, but he couldn’t hold back and let out a laugh.
“You’re still laughing at me!” Jin Nian exclaimed in disbelief.
As she spoke, Jin Nian gently punched the man’s chest with her fist. “Tell me, are you enjoying this?”
Lu An struggled to stifle his laughter. “I am not.”
Jin Nian felt embarrassed and annoyed. Just as she was about to hit Lu An’s chest, he smiled and pulled her into his arms.
Moments ago, when Jin Nian had rushed into the office and shouted for help, Lu An had thought something terrible had happened.
Now that he understood the situation, Lu An was the happiest person.
During this period, Jin Nian had been avoiding Lu An at the company, and she even insisted on sleeping with her back to him at home.
Lu An had contemplated going straight to Jin Nian’s desk several times when he passed by, but he had second thoughts. He didn’t want to risk making Jin Nian even angrier and ending up with separate beds.
Today’s incident was simply a godsend for him.
“Do you want us to secretly date for the rest of our lives?” Lu An gently consoled Jin Nian.
Jin Nian was too embarrassed to respond. Of course, she knew that wasn’t feasible.
“Besides, what’s the harm in people knowing that you’re my wife?”
“I don’t know.” Jin Nian’s thoughts were all over the place.
“Everyone’s here to work and get paid. Who would gossip about you?”
Jin Nian found his reasoning convincing.
“Who are you? You’re my wife. When the time comes, if you don’t like someone, I’ll fire them.”
“That won’t do.”
“If you don’t want to work, 1 can lie flat at home with you, and if you want to travel, we have the money.”
Jin Nian blinked, tempted.
She hadn’t gone on a trip for a long time, and she wanted to take a long vacation to relax.
“So, it’s not worth letting this kind of thing affect your good mood.”
However, that wasn’t Jin Nian’s primary concern. She touched her empty ring finger and said, “I searched for a long time, but 1 couldn’t find that ring. 1 really couldn’t find it.”
“Don’t worry. Leave the ring to me.” Lu An was completely unperturbed.
At this moment, it was time to finish work. Colleagues from the CEO’s office streamed out. Just as they were about to exit the door, they unexpectedly saw Lu An, who was usually composed, carrying a young woman.
In an instant, time seemed to freeze.
Over a dozen people from the CEO’s office huddled at the door, pushing and shoving, sticking their heads out to see but too afraid to look, and wanting to leave but hesitant to do so..
