In Li Xiwuâs opinion, this expression meant that there was someone else other than Pei Jingzhou in the office.
Li Xiwu asked, âWhoâs here?â
âItâs, itâsâ¦â Wang Kaiheng stammered.
Li Xiwu had already seen through it and smiled. âIt seems that Secretary Wang is too free usually. Youâre so free that you donât even know how to open your mouth to speak.â
Wang Kaiheng:
She went forward and knocked lightly on the door. Just as she was about to push the door open and enter, Chen Xin suddenly came out of the office. Seeing Li Xiwu at the door, he asked in a normal tone, âMadam, when did you come?
Li Xiwu said, âI just arrived.â
With that, she was about to go in when Chen Xin stopped her. âMadam!â Li Xiwu frowned and looked at Chen Xin in confusion. âWhatâs wrong?
Usually, when Li Xiwu came to the company, Chen Xin would welcome her in immediately. Today, Chen Xin stopped her outside. Li Xiwu couldnât help but wonder what Pei Jingzhou was doing inside. Or who he is meeting.
âMadam, Mr. Pei is on an important call,â Chen Xin explained.
Li Xiwu took a deep breath and said softly, âIf heâs meeting someone important, I understand that I canât go in and disturb him, but heâs just answering the phone. Why canât I go in?
Chen Xin knew very well that his words were a little clumsy just now, but if he let Madam in at this time and saw that woman, it would probably be difficult to explain. He did not expect Madam to suddenly come over at this time.
âChen Xin?â Li Xiwu called out.
Chen Xin came back to his senses and quickly replied, âAye.â When he answered, Chen Xin did not dare to look at Li Xiwu at all, afraid that Li Xiwu would see through his panic.
Little did he know that the more he avoided her gaze, the less he dared to look at Li Xiwu, the more it meant that there was something wrong. Li Xiwu did not intend to ask anything else from Chen Xin. She pushed him forward and pushed open the door to enter.
âMadam!â
Before Chen Xin could stop her, the door was opened by Li Xiwu. Just as Li Xiwu was about to enter, a woman suddenly appeared at the door. It was a woman Li Xiwu had never seen before.
It was a very unfamiliar face.
The woman was wearing a dark green cheongsam with a high slit. The cheongsam was printed with roses and permed flowers. Because the slit beside her legs was extremely high, it made her legs look fair and long. They were extremely seductive.
As the saying went, flirtatious, charming, and extraordinary. When Li Xiwu sized up Li Xiwu, she was also sizing her up. When they looked at each other, she covered her mouth and smiled. âYouâre Mrs. Pei, right?â
Li Xiwu replied calmly, âYes.â
Logically speaking, Li Xiwu should be very vigilant when a charming woman like Xiang Wanning appeared in Pei Jingzhouâs office.
But she realized that her emotions were calm. Was there a hint of anger? Yes, when Chen Xin deliberately lied to her just now. Other than that, she did not feel angry at all, because she did not think Pei Jingzhou would do anything behind her back.
She did not know why she was so firm in her belief, but she trusted Pei Jingzhou.
Xiang Wanning narrowed her slender fox-like eyes and said with a smile, guess those small employees wanted to take credit when I came to the company, so they reported it to Mrs. Pei, right?â
Li Xiwu smiled. âNo.â
âIsnât that so? I thought Mrs. Pei heard the commotion and specially came over. From the looks of it, Mrs. Pei is more patient than I thought.â
Chen Xin couldnât stand it anymore. âMrs. He, youâ¦â Halfway through his sentence, Chen Xin saw Pei Jingzhou coming out and immediately stopped talking.
Xiang Wanning asked Chen Xin with a smile, âWhat about me?
Pei Jingzhou said, âYou can leave.â
When she heard Pei Jingzhouâs voice, she did not turn around. She leaned her upper body against the door frame and smiled charmingly. âCompared to Mrs. Peiâs calmness, President Pei seems to be more impatient. I couldnât tell that President Pei is also very henpecked.â
Li Xiwu looked up at Pei Jingzhou. She had seen him since he came out.
Pei Jingzhouâs voice was cold. âThis is my company. Mrs. He, please save some dignity for me. If news of me being henpecked spreads from Mrs. He, as the boss, where will my dignity be in the company in the future?
Xiang Wanning smiled when she heard that. She played with her newly made burgundy manicure and said slowly, âPresident Pei is right. If I accidentally spread the news, not only will President Pei lose his dignity, but Mrs.. Pei will probably become a famous fierce woman in the entire aristocratic circle!â
