Qin Yuheng stood up calmly. "Mr. Mu please excuse yourself. You don't have to show discord in our relationship, come here running like a homewrecker!"
Mu Chen stood up from his seat. "Homewrecker?! The third party is you!"
"If not for you, we would have been together now!"
After saying that, he left angrily yet satisfied, smiling to himself. Mission A, is accomplished. Now, Mission B."
After Mu Chen left, there was a loud bang coming from the CEO's office.
The secretaries jumped in shock. Finished! What did this man say to anger the President so much?
The door suddenly swung open, and Qin Yuheng stepped out, his face was ashen. The secretaries quickly scrambled to appear busy, sneaking a glance at the angry CEO.
Wang Xu, his heart in his throat, dared to speak. "President Qin, are you—"
"I'm going home," Qin Yuheng interrupted curtly, his tone sharp as a blade.
Without another word, he stormed out of the building.
Wang Xu didn't dare to say any anymore and followed him.
After returning home, he directly went to the study and shut himself in.
When the servants saw Qin Yuheng's dark face, they can only pray for Mrs. Qin to come back home soon, to appease the angry lion.
Amidst the depressed situation at the company and home, the restaurant was filled with laughter and jokes.
Lu Nan asked after some time, "There's no news about President Qin's marriage. So... you two didn't hold the wedding?"
Shen Ning gave a small, nonchalant nod.
Yun Xi tilted her head, confused. "Does his family not approve of your marriage?"
Shen Ning shook her head. "No, they are very good to me. It's me, I don't want to hold the wedding at the moment."
"Oh..." Yun Xi murmured, but her brows furrowed with thought. "You don't want to publicize your marriage with President Qin?"
Shen Ning smiled faintly. "Exactly. I want to focus on my studies first."
But then, her eyes lit up with a sudden thought. "Shen Ning, how about you introduce us to some of your husband's single friends? You know, help us out a little from the single status."
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh. "Sure, I see if I get the chance. But no promises, they might be too good-looking to handle."
Lu Nan leaned in, intrigued. "Too good-looking to handle? Shen Ning, are you teasing us, or is President Qin running a secret model agency?"
Shen Ning chuckled.
Yun Xi groaned dramatically. "Ugh, this is so unfair. First, you married the most eligible bachelor, Qin Yuheng, and now you're teasing us about his equally swoon-worthy friends? Where's the justice in this?"
Shen Ning raised a brow, amused. "Justice? What do you want me to do? Bring them here with a résumé and headshots?"
Yun Xi's face lit up. "Exactly! Add hobbies, income, and maybe a quick personality test while you're at it."
Lu Nan doubled over laughing. "Yun Xi, you're shameless!"
Shen Ning's smile deepened, her tone carrying a playful edge. "Careful, Yun Xi. If I lined them up for you, résumé in hand, would you even know what to do with them?"
Yun Xi tossed her hair, her confidence exaggerated. "Please, I'd conduct interviews like a pro. Start with their hobbies, their income—oh, and their relationship history. A thorough background check never hurt anyone."
Lu Nan choked on his laughter. "Right. And the moment one of them looks you in the eye, you'll turn into a stammering mess."
Yun Xi's eyes widened in mock indignation. "How dare you! I'll have you know I'm excellent under pressure."
Shen Ning fired back, her voice sweetly mocking. "Like that time you tripped over your own feet when the barista called you 'beautiful'?"
Yun Xi slapped her hands against the table, scandalized. "Shen Ning! You swore to take that story to the grave!"
The three of them broke into laughter, the kind that drew the attention of nearby tables.
Yun Xi leaned on the table, her playful expression returning. "Alright, Shen Ning. Spill it. What's President Qin like at home? Is he as cold and untouchable as he looks in those pictures?"
Shen Ning's lips curled into a faint smile. "Cold? Hardly. He's… meticulous, I'd say. Sometimes, he cooks for me. And whenever I get too busy with my studies, he would prepare something for me to eat."
Yun Xi let out an exaggerated sigh. "Why, oh why, Shen Ning, must you flaunt this perfect husband in front of your single friends? It's cruel."
Shen Ning shrugged, unable to hide her smile. "Hey, you asked."
