Xin Siyue left the dining hall and turned a corner by the stairs. She was about to call Chen Sinan when she saw the caller ID. Director’s call? Did something significant happen?
Xin Siyue just picked up when the Director asked, “Host Xin, did you eat yet? We’re planning to head out so let’s go out for lunch.”
The confused Xin Siyue agreed to eat out with them. When the meal was about to end, she heard the Director say, “In the future, if we need President Chen’s help, we are going to trouble Host Xin to give a good word for us in front of President Chen.”
Xin Siyue said, “Director, you’re being too polite…” She finally understood the ‘hidden meaning’ behind this meal.
Xin Siyue was really speechless with today’s events. What made her even more shocked was how the lights were still on at home when she tiredly returned and was about to take off her high heels.
She was shocked and she straightened her back to look inside. She stared at Chen Sinan who stood in the middle of the living hall wearing black pajamas. He asked naturally, “You’re off work?”
Xin Siyue was speechless.
Wait!
She hurriedly interrogated him, “Why are you in my house?! Wait no, how do you have the key to my house?!”
She clearly saw him attending a news conference in the afternoon. That meant he left, so how could he still come in?
Chen Sinan pointed at her shoe cabinet and said as though it wasn’t his fault, “You placed a backup key in the left drawer of the shoe cabinet.”
Black lines fell down Xin Siyue’s forehead. “Chen Sinan, do you know that you’re trespassing my home like this?!”
“Why don’t you go and sue me? I want to see which police officer will care about the grudges of a married couple.”
“Who’s married to you? Don’t lie through your teeth!”
“I did everything that I should already. I already made it known to millions and millions of audience that I was going to pursue you. How are we not a couple? Even if we aren’t right now, we will be in the future.”
“Heh, you’re too confident.”
“No, I’m just discussing the matter as it stands.”
“I don’t care. Give me the key.”
“You want the key that is in my pocket? Then, come and get it yourself.”
Xin Siyue ran out of words again. She really couldn’t win Chen Sinan who was too shameless. Xin Siyue directly shooed him out the door.
Her temple hurts from being angry.
Chen Sinan knocked on the door a couple of times. Seeing that she really won’t open the door for him, he was able to take out the backup key to open the door when he received a call from Zhuang Zhu.
“A Nan, let’s go out to eat! Bring sister-in-law as well!”
Chen Sinan answered in irritation. “I don’t have time and I’m not in Sheng Jin City.”
“I know, I know. So, I came to A City. Quickly come. I’m waiting for you!”
Zhuang Zhu waited a good half an hour before he saw Chen Sinan. But, it was just him.
Zhuang Zhu was confused, “Where’s sister-in-law? How come I don’t see her?”
“Is she someone you can easily see?” Chen Sinan glanced at him.
Zhuang Zhu immediately responded in an exaggerated tone, “Oh my! The fact that you treasure her so much… are you still the Chen Sinan I know?”
“If you can’t speak normally, then leave!”
“Can I not even joke around?” Zhuang Zhu continued to make fun of him, “I especially came over from Sheng Jin City to see our sister-in-law who could make our President Chen confess in front of the media!”
“Leave.” Chen Sinan knew that this news conference will probably be a joke amongst Zhuang Zhu and the rest of them for a long time.
Zhuang Zhu didn’t make a big deal out of this and he continued to say enthusiastically, “Well, you’re not interested in the Sheng woman. That is as expected. She’s Mo Bei’s type and you guys don’t even look like a couple together. But, I don’t understand. Back then, when Mo Bei was back, how come you didn’t deny that the Sheng woman was your girlfriend? Aren’t you afraid that sister-in-law will misunderstand?”
Chen Sinan hadn’t explained before because he purposefully had the intention of making Mo Bei worried and anxious. He knew that Mo Bei had feelings for Sheng Wenyang. How could he let Mo Bei successfully gain the woman he loved when his own path to pursuing his woman was full of obstacles? Humph, it’s best to have a partner.
When Zhuang Zhu saw that he wasn’t responding, he asked again, “How are you so sure that sister-in-law won’t reject you because she misunderstood your relationship with that Sheng woman?”
“Heh. In short, I won’t let her escape.”
