"No, not really. The missus rarely contacts me. In the early days of your marriage, she once called you and you told her to come to me if she ever needed anything. She then started calling me quite often, asking if you were available but never mentioned why. Once she heard that you were not there, she just hung up without saying anything. Later, her calls became less frequent. Over the last two years, she might have only called seven or eight times. Each time it was always the same, either that she was on a business trip and not coming home, or that she was traveling and not coming home..."
"However, every time the missus called, she would always say something like, 'As long as you're aware, that's enough. If he needs to know, tell him. If he doesn't, then don't mention it'. Interestingly, over the past couple of years, every time the missus has been on business trips, you've been busy with your own affairs and never thought of going home. So, I never reported these calls to you..."
After the assistant finished speaking, he glanced at Han Jingnian, who was standing still without any intention of leaving or responding.
His expression was not much different from usual, yet the assistant felt that his boss seemed different, although he couldn't exactly pinpoint how.
After some thought, the assistant asked tentatively, "So, Mr. Han, in the future if the missus calls again, should I...let you know?"
Han Jingnian said nothing.
The assistant asked again, "Mr. Han?"
Returned to his senses, Han Jingnian started walking towards his office.
He hadn't answered his question yet... The assistant hurried after him. "Mr. Han, what about my question just now? What do you want me to do?"
Han Jingnian quickened his pace.
The assistant chased after him more frantically, "Mr. Han, should I tell you when the missus calls again?"
Han Jingnian, about to enter his office, glanced back at the assistant, "What do you think?"
Then, without waiting for the assistant to reply, he pushed open the office door and shut it behind him, leaving the assistant scratching his head outside.
What does he think? How would he know...
When his wife first approached the boss, claiming she was willing to marry him, he was indeed rejected. Then some legal document suddenly arrived, and just like that, the boss agreed. Without preparation for a wedding, wedding dress, wedding ring or anything, he simply signed the marriage certificate with her. On top of that, he was the one who accompanied the missus to the civil affairs office that day...
He thought that he must be the first assistant to accompany their boss to get a marriage certificate, right?
After the wedding, the boss seldom went home, and even though he had been by his side for a long time, he had never heard him mention his wife... Therefore, he was very sure that the boss definitely did not like his wife. Thus, he was always curious, if the boss did not like his wife, then why did he marry her?
He had at times wondered if the boss had some secret love hidden deep in his heart. Yet, over the years, despite surreptitiously observing him so intently, he had never heard him mention any other women. Even in his contact list, the number of females could be counted on one hand...
If it were not for the fact that he, a good-looking and elegant man, had been by his side for so long and hadn't been seduced, then he would have suspected that his boss, like the rumors, prefers men over women...
