Sun Weimo and Zhao Fei walked into the office, ready to report to Yan Xingyao, but he hung up the phone in frustration.
"What's wrong, Boss?"
Yan Xingyao sighed unwillingly." Xiner called me just now to tell me that she's going to have lunch with my father-in-law. I asked her to come to the office to have afternoon tea with me after dinner, but she refused.”He was her beloved husband! Was her husband more important or was her father more important?
Boss was jealous! Sun Weimo thought, amused. "You can't blame Sister-in-law. Which woman would feel happy when she sees her husband being loved by so many women? It was already good enough that she didn't make you jealous. What are you complaining about?"
Yan Xingyao frowned." Awei, what nonsense are you talking about?" Why can't I understand?"
Sun Weimo raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his boss to be so slow, but…it wasn't impossible. Ever since he had Sister-in-law, all the animals of the opposite sex could not enter his eyes.
"Boss, don't tell me you don't know how many female employees in the company are in love with you? Before marriage, you were the number one golden bachelor in the entire company. One can imagine how many women's dreams were shattered when the news of your marriage spread. The head office almost had a flood because of it! Think about it, those women would definitely be furious when they thought about how the person they coveted was being monopolized by Sister-in-law. Why would they be polite to Sister-in-law? Would Sister-in-law want to come and see people's faces?”
"Are you kidding me? Sister-in-law was the CEO's wife. Who would dare to give her a hard time?”Zhao Fei did not believe it.
Yan Xingyao's expression changed slightly." Why haven't I heard Xiner mention it?”
"Don't you know Sister-in-law's personality?" Sun Weimo said with a faint smile. Even if she had seen the other party's expression, she was not someone who would snitch. Those who put on an expression would naturally not be stupid enough to turn themselves in to you. How would you know?”
"Who is it?" Awei would never joke about such things. Yan Xingyao was furious. Xiner was his beloved baby, and he couldn't wait to protect her. Someone actually dared to show her such a bad attitude. No wonder she refused to come again after coming here once. He felt his heart ache when he thought of this.
"Don't you have anyone in mind? For example…"
There was a sudden knock on the door. Sun Weimo remained silent, but the corners of his mouth curled up into a disdainful smile.
Zhuang Lin did not wait for any response and automatically pushed the door open. She said gently and considerately,"I saw that you guys had a meeting for so long. You must be thirsty. It's not good to drink too much coffee, so I specially made some fragrant tablets.”
She thoughtfully placed a cup of fragrant tea in front of each of them. "This morning, I specially asked Aunt Duan to make the dishes that Yao likes. They're currently being kept warm in the dining room downstairs. I think it's almost lunchtime.”
When did the CEO become Yao? Yan Xingyao had been less strict recently because of his blissful married life. He did not notice when Zhuang Lin had become so presumptuous.
Seeing her act so matter-of-factly and deliberately trying to please him, Yan Xingyao immediately understood who Sun Weimo was referring to. He was instantly enraged.
"Secretary Zhuang, this is the CEO's office. When did I allow you to enter and leave without permission? Also, this is the company, not Yan Zhuang. Can't you even tell how to address me?”
" I…I…" Her face was pale, and her embarrassed expression looked very pitiful. "Yes, I will."
"Get down!" Yan Xingyao remained cold and unmoved.
Zhuang Lin couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She hurriedly closed the door and left.
"Is she really that bold?" Zhao Fei asked. He knew that Zhuang Lin was like a lioness, treating the office as her private domain and rejecting other women from invading. But... Boss was already married, not to mention that Xiner was Boss 'wife! How could she dare?
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
Yan Xingyao remembered that the last time Xiner came was a long time ago, so he was dissatisfied with Sun Weimo's ignorance." Why didn't you say so earlier?"”
Sun Weimo was stared at innocently." I thought that it was understandable that she would have a bad temper if she fell in love, so I just warned her. Later on, she thought that something was wrong. Zhuang Lin dared to be so rude to Xiner in your office, not to mention that Zhuang Lin also lives in Yan Villa. With her arrogant personality, it was impossible for her to restrain herself. Xiner didn't like to come to the company today. Perhaps it was because she was annoyed by Zhuang Lin at Yan's Villa at night. She didn't want to come to the company during the day to be annoyed again.”
"What love is gone? Zhuang Lin was nothing! Damn it, how dare you give Xiner a hard time. If I don't teach her a lesson, how can I appease the hatred in my heart!”Yan Xingyao slammed his fist on the table. His heart was filled with Xiner, so he didn't pay much attention to the women around him. He didn't expect these women to dare to anger Xiner. They were too detestable!
Sun Weimo and Zhao Fei looked at each other and shrugged. Zhuang Lin deserved it. They didn't want to intercede for her, lest they were bombarded.
Looking around the room full of gifts, Wang Ningxin felt a headache coming on.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. The Yan family had always had good relations in the political and economic circles. Old Lady Yan was also a highly respected authoritative figure. Naturally, Yan Zhuang would receive gifts from all sides.
Wang Ningxin took a look at the gift register and found that these gifts were mainly health supplements, and the quality was very good. "Aunt Wang, I see that there are so many gifts. It's useless to keep them. Apart from the few items that I've chosen, you can distribute the rest to the employees of Yan's Manor according to their wishes and needs!”
"Young Madam, are you…serious?”Housekeeper Aunt Wang was surprised and happy. The servants around her also had a look of disbelief.
The young madam's order was a great blessing to the servants of Yan Manor. In the past, these rare and expensive tonics were left in the storeroom for the owner to use. They were often left to rot after the expiration date. In the end, they were taken out and thrown away during the year-end cleaning. Although it was a pity, they had no choice.
"Of course. We can't finish it anyway. Why don't we share it with everyone? These things are all very good.”She browsed through the gift book." Aunt Wang, Yan Zhuang has been giving you a hard time all these years. You must remember to pick a few tonics for yourself. Auntie Duan, Aunt Julia, Uncle Wang, and the others are older. Remember to save some for them.”
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Young Madam.”Young Madam's thoughtful words immediately warmed everyone's hearts.
"Wang Ningxin, do you even know how to run a household? With your extravagance, even if the Yan Family has a mountain of gold and silver, it will be squandered by you sooner or later.”Zhuang Lin was just passing by the entrance of the small living room. When she heard that Wang Ningxin wanted to give all the gifts to Yan Zhuang's servants, she immediately flew into a rage. "These gifts sent to Yan Manor are all high-grade goods. They should be kept for the master to use. There's no reason for them to be given to the servants. Don't you think it's too wasteful?”
Her disdainful tone and attitude made the employees at the side very dissatisfied. However, seeing that Zhuang Lin was a guest of Yan Zhuang, no one said anything, but they could not hide their dissatisfaction.
Wang Ningxin glanced at her, not knowing what she was angry about. "It's because the quality is good that we have to give it away! Besides, how long would it take to eat all of them? These tonics had a shelf life and couldn't be eaten after they expired. Of course, he should distribute them to everyone now. How about this? If you want it, you can pick it up first. The rest can be divided among us.”
Wang Ningxin intended to keep the peace, but Zhuang Lin was not grateful. Instead, she thought that Wang Ningxin had said that in front of the servants. Not only did it make the servants unhappy with her, but it was also a deliberate reminder that her status was actually similar to the servants. Hence, the anger in her heart suddenly rose." You want me to choose first? Alright, I'll take them all!" She looked at Wang Ningxin provocatively.
As soon as she said that, everyone present immediately looked at her sideways.
Wang Ningxin was very surprised that Zhuang Lin did not know the big picture and even provoked her openly. Zhuang Lin had been rude to her in private, but for the sake of the old madam, she had endured it. But she shouldn't have openly provoked him. If she continued to give in like this, how was she going to be the master in the future?
"Miss Zhuang, Young Madam is the mistress of Yan Villa. She is the one who has the right to make decisions about Yan Villa's affairs. You are just a guest. As the saying goes, the guest follows the host.”Duan Zhi couldn't stand Zhuang Lin anymore.
Usually, Zhuang Lin would speak coldly to this Young Madam, which made her very angry. She did not expect that she would not know how to restrain herself and dare to openly defy the Young Madam's decision in front of everyone. What right did she have! Duan Zhi's face was red as she glared at her.
"How dare you use such a tone…"
"You don't know how to respect others, so you naturally can't ask others to respect you.”Wang Ningxin looked at Zhuang Lin deeply before turning around and instructing,""Aunt Wang, just deal with these things as I said just now.”
"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper, Aunt Wang, immediately ordered the servants to move the mountain of gifts down.
The butler and the servants 'swift and agile movements had already fully expressed who was their master.
" You…" Zhuang Lin was both embarrassed and angry. Her face turned green and white. She stomped her feet and ran away angrily.
As soon as Zhuang Lin left the living room, she bumped into the old madam and Aunt Silk who were standing in the corridor.
In fact, Wang Ningxin had already asked the old madam for her opinion on how to deal with these gifts, and the old madam had agreed with her generosity! After all, there were only three masters in Yan's Villa, and the masters could live comfortably because of the attentive service of the servants. Although there was a fixed salary and bonus, it was also very important to give such small benefits at the right time.
The master and servant had originally wanted to see how she was going to distribute the food, but they did not expect to see this scene.
The old madam's expression did not reveal anything, but Aunt Silk's reproach was obvious on her face.
" Aunt…" Zhuang Lin's heart skipped a beat and she panicked.
As soon as Zhuang Lin left, Duan Zhi immediately jumped up and cheered,"" Yay, Young Madam should have taught this kind of person a lesson…Young Madam, why did you…Ah!" She screamed and held Wang Ningxin's pale face.
" Zhizhi, it's okay. Don't be nervous. I just suddenly had a headache…" Halfway through her sentence, she felt her vision go black. Then, she collapsed into Duan Zhi's arms and fainted.
Duan Zhi hugged her and shouted in panic,"Aunt Wang, come quickly. Young Madam has fainted!”
In the warm and elegant bedroom, the doctor was examining Wang Ningxin while Yan Xingyao and the old lady were anxious.
When the doctor was examining him, Yan Xingyao was obviously anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything, afraid that he would distract the doctor. However, after the examination, he had no qualms.
"Zhang…"
"Congratulations, Old Madam!”Just as Yan Xingyao was about to speak, Doctor Zhang had already congratulated him.
The grandfather and grandson were dumbfounded. This time, Aunt Silk's reaction was much faster than theirs. She said in surprise,"Young Madam is pregnant?"
"Really? How old is my little grandson?" The old madam was only a beat slower and immediately reacted.
"Of course it's true. Being pregnant is a big deal. How could I dare to say it casually? And the fetus is almost two months old."
"That's great, that's great. I'm finally going to be a great-grandmother.”The old madam patted her chest.
Aunt Juan saw this and quickly came over to support her." Old Madam, calm down. Don't forget that you have heart disease!”
" Old Madam…" Doctor Zhang also remembered the old madam's illness when Aunt Silk mentioned it.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. I still want to live to hug my great-grandson! How could he fall? I…Eh, Yao 'er, what are you daydreaming about? Didn't you hear what Doctor Zhang said? You're going to be a father!"
Yan Xingyao was like a robot whose switch had been triggered. He walked stiffly to the head of the bed, his expression dull as he muttered,"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father…"
The old lady frowned and then smiled in relief. Fathers-to-be had all sorts of strange reactions, and he was not the strangest. Back then, when Yao 'er's father heard that he was going to be a father, he immediately fainted on the ground, scaring a bunch of people on the spot.
He made a sharp turn as he walked towards the bed. Yan Xingyao suddenly rushed towards Doctor Zhang and said anxiously,"Doctor Zhang, you haven't told me why Xiner fainted. Although Xin 'er's stamina was not good, she had never fainted before. What was going on?”
"Young Madam should be in the early stages of pregnancy, and the mother's body is not adapting well. Just as Young Master Yan had said, Young Madam's physical strength was weaker than the average person. Now that she was carrying a child, the burden on her would naturally increase. In the future, she had to rest more and pay attention to her nutrition. Also, it was very important to let the young miss maintain a happy mood. Pregnant women were most afraid of fainting, falling, and other accidents. It was very harmful and sad to have fluctuating moods. Since Young Madam has a record of fainting, I suggest that it's best to send someone to follow her during the first few days of her pregnancy.”
Because Wang Ningxin's physical condition was rather special, Doctor Zhang also explained some things to take note of. Yan Xingyao listened very carefully and even promised to bring her to the hospital for further examination tomorrow.
In order not to disturb Xiner's rest, Grandma Jian and Aunt Juan immediately went to the kitchen to discuss with Aunt Duan about the nourishing soup for pregnant women after sending Doctor Zhang out. Duan Zhi stayed behind at Yan Xingyao's suggestion.
He sat at the head of the bed and caressed Wang Ningxin's pale cheeks." Duan Zhi, you heard what Doctor Zhang said. When I'm not around in the future, I'll leave Young Madam in your care. You must follow the young madam at all times and pay attention to her safety, do you hear me? If he really had something to do, he would have to find someone to replace him before he could leave.”
"Yes, Duan Zhi understands. I'll definitely pay close attention to Young Madam's safety.”
Duan Zhi and Wang Ningxin were not only master and servant, but also friends and sisters. Naturally, her safety was her top priority.
"Yes, and did Mrs. Hunt suffer some kind of trauma? Otherwise, why would she suddenly faint?”Seeing her troubled look, Yan Xingyao shouted coldly,""Don't hide anything. I want you to tell me everything.”Earlier, when Doctor Zhang mentioned that pregnant women should be happy, he noticed that Duan Zhi's expression was very strange, so he deliberately asked her to stay and clarify things.
Duan Zhi had always been afraid of Yan Xingyao. When she heard him shout like that, she did not dare to hide anything even if she had the guts. She immediately told him about Zhuang Lin. The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She even almost forgot that the person sitting in front of her was the young master she feared the most.
"I didn't mean to be rude to the guests, but that Miss Zhuang is really too much.”
"Yes, I understand. Xiner has never liked to argue with others. If there's anything in the future, you must inform me first. I'll settle it. Don't let Xiner suffer for nothing.”
"I know." Although it was not a good thing to snitch, what the young master said made sense. An arrogant woman like Zhuang Lin should have been taught a lesson long ago. She would not have caused the young madam to suffer so much for nothing.
Duan Zhi gently closed the door and left. The bedroom instantly became quiet, so quiet that even the sound of her heartbeat could be heard.
The afternoon sun shone through the curtains and cast a hazy shadow on the bed, making Wang Ningxin's pink cheeks crystal clear. Her long and curly eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes. She was half-awake as she looked at a handsome face right in front of her. He yawned childishly and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Yao, you're back. I…Mmm…"
His chest was sore from the sudden surge of tenderness. He could not help but lower his head to kiss her. His kisses were as light as butterflies dancing in the air, landing densely on her eyebrows and lips.
She moaned and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She raised her chin and revealed her delicate neck.
When the big palm with fire came to her lower abdomen, it suddenly stopped. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and he stopped all his movements. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was enduring great pain. Beads of sweat kept pouring out from his forehead, and his body that covered her body could not help but tremble.
Wang Ningxin opened her lustful eyes in confusion." Yao…"
" No, baby..." He gritted his teeth. He used his elbow to support himself on the bed, buried his face in her shoulder, and quickly inhaled her fragrance to calm himself down.
"You can't?" Her big eyes were filled with doubt. She wondered if she had heard wrongly.
He finally let out a long breath and kissed her pink cheek before lying down beside her." You fainted just now. Do you still remember? " And…" He stood up again, his thick and powerful palm gently caressing her lower abdomen, his eyes filled with love. "I'm afraid of hurting our baby."
"Our baby?" " You mean…I'm pregnant?" I have a baby in my stomach?" She suddenly sat up, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
He also sat up and held her nervously." Be gentle, be gentle. You have a baby in your stomach. You can't move too much in the future to avoid hurting the baby.”
"I'm going to be a mother, I'm going to be a mother, wow! I'm going to be a mother." She didn't care. She hugged his neck and shouted. She was so happy that she almost flew to the sky.
"Yes, yes, yes. I know. I'm going to be a father too.”He happily shared this big surprise with her, and his pair of iron arms hugged her tightly in his arms, but he had to be careful not to be too tight to avoid hurting the little darling in his stomach. After a long while, he said," Look, you're going to be a mommy soon. You can't say that you can't eat in the future, and you can't go to the company alone to drink tea with Daddy. That's too dangerous. Hurry up and return the company's matters to Dad. You're not allowed to go online to deal with official documents. I heard that the radiation from the computer will hurt the fetus. Also, you have to eat the supplements obediently. You have to know that you're eating for two people now…"
He kept nagging about this and that, which made her feel that it was very harsh. She frowned and simply pouted her mouth to stop him.
Hehe, she was going to be a mother!
How cruel and torturous it was to not be able to be warm in his arms! He moaned in pain and hugged her even tighter.
Two naked bodies were rolling on the round bed in the hotel.
Zhuang Lin panted…
The man smiled evilly…
"Boss An, you're already the chief of the Sky High Alliance now. You must have more benefits, right?”She had noticed his branded clothes and a few lackeys by his side when she was at the pub.
"Ha, as expected of the flower of the wine country. You have good taste.”He lay comfortably beside her and panted.
Out of all the women he had seen, Annie was the most outstanding and satisfied him the most. He decided to keep her on the spot. Back then, he didn't have the ability to have her all to himself. However, things were different now.
Once he made up his mind, he bragged about his achievements even more." I'm now in charge of the Sky High Alliance's southern region. Not only do I earn a lot of money every day, but I also have dozens of underlings under me.”
When Zhuang Lin was in university, she used to be a young lady of the famous hotel," Hua Gong ". She was famous for her Annie's name. After moving into Yan Villa, she tried her best to hide this filthy past. However, she didn't care about anything else now.
"Boss An, can I ask you for a small favor?”
"Yes, of course."
……
"Zhizhi, are you…happy?" Wang Ningxin looked at Duan Zhi hesitantly.
" I..." Although she didn't make any sense, Duan Zhi knew what she meant. The hand that was holding the wool paused, and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes. She then looked up and forced a smile." Young Master Fei has an imposing appearance and extraordinary achievements. Not only is he a good friend of the young master, but he is also the Prince Charming that every woman dreams of. It's such a glorious thing to have such a boyfriend. How can I not be happy?”Duan Zhi's eyes immediately lit up with a dreamy mist when Zhao Fei was mentioned.
" But…" Wang Ningxin sighed. She did not care about glory or Prince Charming!
Of course, she was happy for Duan Zhi because she had an outstanding boyfriend. However, Fei Zai and Duan Zhi didn't look like lovers at all. Every time they met, they were like a master and a maid. One was cold and distant, while the other was eager to please.
On the contrary, Wang Ningxin felt that Fei Zai and the strong woman from the accounting department were evenly matched. The moment the two met, sparks flew everywhere. In comparison, Duan Zhi appeared to be too weak and could only be bullied.
"Ning Xin, you were born to be pampered and spoiled. At home, you were the apple of your parents 'eyes and now, you're being cherished by the Young Master, doting on you like your life. But I'm just the daughter of a cook. I look ordinary and I'm not smart enough. I know I don't have a stunning appearance, but I'm confident that I can be a good wife and mother. I've liked to do housework since I was young. As long as you give me a home, I will make it very warm and comfortable. Young Master Fei is with me, so I will definitely serve him well and not let him regret it.”
"Who wouldn't regret after paying attention to that boorish Fei Zai? I'm asking if you're happy!" Wang Ningxin pouted.
She had never looked down on Duan Zhi, but she could not tell that Zhao Fei liked Duan Zhi at all. But if he was not interested in Duan Zhi, why did he ask her to date him?
"Didn't I say that I'm very happy? I know you care, but I promise you, I really know what I'm doing.”Duan Zhi glanced at her watch and immediately started to pack up the wool and needles. She stood up and helped her pull up the warm blanket that slid down her waist." Alright, you've been reading for the whole night. It's time for you to close your eyes and rest." I'll go to the kitchen to get you some ginseng soup. I'll be right back!”
"Oh, it's time for the tonic again!" Wang Ningxin sighed and closed her book listlessly. Ever since she got pregnant, she had an endless supply of supplements, causing her to turn pale at the smell of medicine. "Zhizhi…"
"No!" Duan Zhi knew what she was going to say before she could finish, so she immediately refused and quickly walked out of the study.
What a joke! If Young Master or Old Madam knew that she was helping the pregnant Young Madam drink the tonic, she would die even if she had nine lives!
As soon as she closed the door, Duan Zhi saw a tall man standing outside. Yan Xingyao nodded slightly, and she immediately turned around and went downstairs. It was time to change hands!
He held the medicine cup in one hand and gently pushed open the door with the other. He saw his beloved baby lying comfortably on the recliner with a few feather pillows behind her and a light and warm quilt around her waist.
Wang Ningxin smelled a familiar masculine scent and quickly opened her beautiful eyes." Yao, are you done with your work?”
"Yes! After spending a night, they finally settled the matter of the American branch.”Yan Xingyao gently helped her sit up." What about you? Why are you frowning?"
" I..." Her bright eyes saw the medicine cup in his hand, and her small face immediately scrunched up. She unconsciously rubbed her stomach and made a final struggle. "Yao, I ate too much for dinner. My stomach is so bloated. Can this bowl of ginseng soup…"
Here it comes again! There was a baby living in her round stomach, but it was not because she was too full. She could not figure it out. He smiled." What do you think?"
" Yao…" She pulled his arm and shook it, looking like she was about to cry.
" You…" He shook his head helplessly and drank the ginseng soup.
She was delighted. Ha! Escaped a disaster.
Who knew that he would suddenly hold her head and kiss her, pouring the ginseng soup into her mouth. She struggled, but how could the delicate her be his match? In just two or three gulps, the cup of ginseng soup was finished.
"Yao, you're so cunning!" She glared angrily at her treacherous husband.
"You flatter me!" He shrugged his shoulders without any shame. He carried his wife out of the small study firmly and prepared to return to their sweet little nest to sleep.
Wang Ningxin glared at him, but she couldn't do anything about it.#
