Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“No wonder I sent you CEO Lu’s photo. You said it was average. That’s right. You’re with CEO Lu all day long, and you’re already used to CEO Lu’s beauty!”
“That’s not true. I didn’t know he was the boss of our company at that time…”
“You two are a loving couple. I’m just a single dog who was kicked by someone on the roadside for no reason.”
“No, no, no, no. How can you be a puppy?”
“No wonder you said that your hubby is in the animation industry like me. So that’s why…”
“What I said was right…”
“So the higher-ups fired Jenny to help you vent your anger!”
“I didn’t know. I’m sorry…”
“It was you who sent those sentimental messages to CEO Lu!”
“How would 1 know that he’s projecting the screen…”
“So you’re the one who left a bite mark on CEO Lu’s neck!”
Jin Nian was afraid that Xia Yu would continue, so she pulled her to a corner. “Don’t say anymore, don’t say anymore…”
“No, I want to say it!” Xia Yu shook Jin Nian off in shock.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to not tell you…” Jin Nian whispered.
But suddenly, Xia Yu squatted down and hugged Jin Nian’s thigh, saying, “Madam CEO, Happy New Year! From now on, I’ll rely on you and never let go! Let me wish you an early New Year!”
Jin Nian was left speechless, sinking into a long silence.
After their secret marriage accidentally came to light, Jin Nian’s life at the company didn’t change much. At most, people would occasionally glance at her curiously, wanting to know what the CEO’s wife looked like. However, once they accepted Jin Nian’s ident.i.ty, the curious gazes lessened, and everyone returned to their usual behavior.
Jin Nian distributed wedding candies to the entire Whale company, each packaged beautifully. As for the lost ring, it was never found.
Jin Nian felt a bit disappointed, but Lu An believed they could easily replace it. With Lu An’s support and Jin Nian’s ident.i.ty as the CEO’s wife out in the open, she felt more relaxed at the company. Even colleagues with whom she had some conflicts in the past became much more agreeable.
When Lu An and Jin Nian were together, they no longer needed to hide from others. If Jin Nian wanted to go to the eighteenth floor, she would. When Lu An missed Jin Nian, he would come down to find her.
Sometimes, when Lu An needed to sign doc.u.ments, Jin Nian would be on the eighteenth floor, occasionally teasing him.
Sometimes, when Lu An was in a meeting, Jin Nian would boldly look at him because she was secretly moved by his decisiveness.
Sometimes, when Jin Nian was working diligently, Lu An would come down to her desk and watch her work. She would then drive him away impatiently.
Sometimes, when Jin Nian was busy in the livestream room, Lu An would leave a cup of her favorite milk tea on her desk, not wanting to disturb her.
During the times when they weren’t in the office, the younger colleagues in the office would discuss them.
“Oh my G.o.d, CEO Lu is so sweet. He gave her milk tea today, flowers yesterday, and even a small cake the day before yesterday!”
“I saw them holding hands after work yesterday.”
“So, the usually hot-tempered CEO Lu is so gentle in front of Jin Nian. He’s not hot-tempered at all…”
“It’s a fairy-tale love story! I ship them!”
“I have a reasonable suspicion that Jin Nian must have saved the entire galaxy in her past life.”
Office romance was nothing like Jin Nian had feared.
But as the days went by like a dream, this happiness made Jin Nian feel somewhat unreal.
One weekend, at breakfast, after their secret marriage had been exposed, the sunlight streamed into the room. Jin Nian felt a bit sore all over because Lu An had kept her up most of the night the day before.
As she got up, she heard Lu An chatting with someone on the balcony.
At that moment, Lu An was watering the plants, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and chatting on the phone with a relaxed demeanor. “What’s the point of mountains of gold and silver? None of them compare to Jin Nian.”
Jin Nian couldn’t help but feel helpless. Why did Lu An have to exaggerate their affection so much?
The person calling Lu An was his mother, Xie He.
Initially, only a few close friends knew about Lu An and Jin Nian’s secret marriage, but now that the entire Whale company knew, it was only natural that Xie He also knew.
On the other end of the phone, Xie He asked, “Don’t you know your status in Hong Kong? How could you suddenly marry a young girl with no family background? Did the Lu family not have any objections?”
Lu An sneered and said, “Xie He, do you think everyone thinks the same way you do? Don’t forget how you entered the Lu family back then..”
