'Can't you see that I'm trying my best?'
"I know, even though you're my husband, your heart belongs to another woman. You rush to marry me to protect your woman." Aylin Lui said softly.
'I can't separate two lovebirds. I don't want to be the third wheel.'
Aylin Lui looked at Ethan Chance with a serious expression on her face "So… Let's just pretend like nothing happened on the wedding night."
Ethan Chance's heart feels heavy after hearing his wife's words. He feels like a sharp knife cutting his heart into pieces.
This is Ethan Chance's first time that he feels like he lost everything.
He didn't get mad but he's heartbroken hearing what his own wife said.
Ethan Chance forced a smile and looked at Aylin Lui "Since I'm already your husband, I'll be royal to you. You don't need to worry about other women. You're my wife now. No other women are as important to me as you are."
"So don't say that I married you because of another woman." Ethan Chance stood up and walked up to Aylin Lui.
He sat next to Aylin Lui. He took Aylin Lui's hands in his hands. He stared into Aylin Lui's eyes with a serious face and said "We're husband and wife now. Let's not talk about unhappy things that are going to break our family apart."
'He said our family. Does this mean he considers me one of his family?'
Aylin Lui's heart softens after hearing Ethan Chance's words.
Aylin Lui smiled and said "Alright." She continued "You better keep your words. If you break them, I'll break your legs."
Ethan Chance smiles at his little wife words "I swear I won't break my words. If I do, you have every right to do anything to me."
"You better."
'Holding grudges is not going to do me good. So I might as well look forward to our future. He said he married me not because of other women.'
Ethan Chance pulled her into his embrace.
"Aren't you hungry?" Aylin Lui asked. "I'm sure that you're hungry by now since you work non stop."
"I am." Ethan Chance rubbed his wife's head.
Aylin Lui stood up, then she took Ethan Chance's hand "Let's go eat then. I'll treat you to something good."
Ethan Chance felt that the heavy rock on his heart was lifted by Aylin Lui's action.
It seems like Ethan Chance fell head over heels for his wife. She's the only woman who can make him worry, happy, sad, etc…
He thought that no one will make his heart beat really fast for the rest of his life. But after meeting Aylin Lui, he can't figure out his own heart anymore.
When they walked out of the elevator holding hands, all eyes were staring at them.
It looks like Aylin Lui was pulling him and Ethan Chance was following her.
When the front desk lady saw them coming out, she rushed toward Aylin Lui.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry about before. I should've done that." the front lady said anxiously.
Ethan Chance looked at his employee with confusion.
'Did something happen when my wife reached here?'
"What happened?" Ethan Chance looked at his employee and asked coldly.
The front desk lady was dead scared after hearing Ethan Chance's question.
'Oh no… I'll get fired for sure for keeping our CEO's woman in the waiting room for a few hours.'
"It's all my fault for not knowing ma'am is your woman and had kept her in the waiting room for a few hours there." The front desk lady said trembling.
'What a bunch of useless trash. They got the nerd to keep my wife waiting for a few hours?'
"You kept my wife waiting for a few hours? It seems like your work is too easy for you. Why don't you pack up and leave?"
'What? She's the CEO's wife? I never heard our CEO was married when I started working here. I'm so doomed. Why didn't I think before I did something?'
"When did our CEO get married?"
"Oh my god. That's why our CEO rushed down as fast as he could after receiving a phone call from her."
"What? Really?"
"Yes. He held a very long meeting. But as soon as he received the call, he ended the meeting right away just to come pick up his wife in the lobby."
"wow…"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it." The front lady said while tears falling on her cheeks.
Ethan Chance's face turned darker. The company's lobby temperature went down, which made the people who gather looking at them feel shiver.
Ethan Chance's cold voice spoke up "You didn't mean to? I don't even have the nerd to keep her waiting for a second, but you keep her waiting for a few hours."
"Secretary Bin." Ethan Chance said coldly.
Secretary Bin was watching what's happening in the audience. When he heard Ethan Chance's cold voice, he wished he could dig a hole and hide there.
It seems like his boss was fuming with anger right now. But what can he do? All he can do is rush up to where Ethan Chance and Aylin Lui is.
"Yes Master." The secretary answered nervously.
"Give this lady her last paycheck and make sure she never comes back here."
'It seems like I can't do anything about it. I made a big mistake. Who's going to take care of my parents and my sibling after I get fired?'
"Yes master."
'Alas, what's the big deal about it. Why did he treat his people so mean? She's his employee.'
'It can't go on like this. So many eyes are looking.'
Aylin Lui looked at Ethan Chance "Just let her go. She didn't do it on purpose."
