My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 53
Chapter 53: Chapter 53 – He Shang Fell into A Trap
The next morning, dark circles formed under Lin Yi’s eyes. Although they weren’t too dark, Lin Yi noticed them immediately.
Obviously she didn’t sleep well last night, as there was someone else sleeping in her bed with her.
Actually, Lin Yi wasn’t the only one who didn’t get to rest well. However, Li Tian seemed unaffected by it, perhaps it was because his body could adjust better than Lin Yi.
On the other hand, Wang Ma had a weird expression on her face when she saw Lin Yi’s eyebags.
After Lin Yi and Li Tian left the house, she immediately made a phone call.
“Ma’am, I have some good news. Last night, Miss and Sir slept in the same room. Yeah, I’m sure I saw it correctly. She looked exhausted this morning, but he looked just fine.”
…
“Honey, I think I better move back to my room tonight.”
Li Tian didn’t notice it last night, but he realized how exhausted Lin Yi looked this morning. It was as though she had stayed up all night.
Li Tian wasn’t a greedy person, he thought, it’s fine, she’s already my wife, she won’t run away.
Lin Yi felt comforted upon hearing Li Tian say this.
“Okay, just give me two days to get used to it and I’ll ask you to move back in after that.”
…
The two arrived at the office. As Lin Yi kept their relationship a secret, nobody in the office except for Chen Ya Jing knew about Lin Yi and Li Tian’s relationship.
That was including Su Xiao Yue.
Li Tian was puzzled, I don’t think I’ve ever offended Su Xiao Yue in any way. But, why does she always give me weird looks?
Li Tian didn’t know that just him sitting in front of the computer doing nothing bothered Su Xiao Yue upon seeing it. Additionally, he had also left the office yesterday without notifying her.
“Li Tian, the PR department will have three days off work starting tonight. The company has decided to fund a trip for us, where do you think we should go?”
Where do I think we should go?
Li Tian was surprised to hear that question from Su Xiao Yue.
You’re the head of the department, but you’re asking me, a mere assistant?
Would my opinion make a difference?
“Ma’am, I don’t think this is up to me.”
Li Tian replied.
“Why not? We can go wherever we want, and get reimbursed after we come back from the trip.”
“Huh? Then let’s go to the beach? The weather has been quite nice lately. Sitting in a hotel room whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea…”
Li Tian quickly made something up. Since it was summer, he thought it would be nice to go to the beach. However, he was just describing how he had imagined it would be, as Li Tian had never been to the beach to relax.
“No, no. It would be too hot. We’ll all tanned after a few days. What about something else, like hiking?”
What!?
Li Tian didn’t understand Su Xiao Yue’s logic. Wouldn’t it be too hot for hiking too?
“Hiking? Sure, where should we go?”
Li Tian could only agree to what she suggested. After all, she was still his superior at work.
“Of course Mount Tai, the best in Wuyue. It’s also not too far from here.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Li Tian really didn’t understand Su Xiao Yue’s reasoning. Why did she even bother asking me then?
However, Li Tian knew that things wouldn’t be as simple as this. Su Xiao Yue wouldn’t ask him for his opinion out of nowhere. After all, she was an enigmatic person.
Hmm…What’s the problem then?
Never mind, I’ll never figure it out.
Just like that, Li Tian spent another relaxed morning at the office.
After lunch, Li Tian made a phone call to He Shang.
“He Shang, what are you doing?”
“Hey, I’m very busy lately. If you don’t have anything important to say, don’t call me, OK?”
What the…he even used English…
“What are you so busy with?”
Li Tian exclaimed, clearly feeling irritated. You’ve already stabbed me in the back without realising.
“Hehe, I’ll be honest with you. I met the girl I was talking to yesterday, and we got along really well. Let me tell you this. I actually have a good feeling about her. She seemed like someone who could be my life partner. So, I’ve decided to just go for it. Perhaps I’ll even get married soon.”
Li Tian was speechless when he heard He Shang say this.
After all this time, he’s still hanging out with that woman?
“I thought monks can’t get married?”
“Nonsense. Who said monks can’t get married. A few of my seniors already have kids.”
“Um… I learned it from watching TV.”
“That’s all fake!”
“Okay, okay. Everything’s fake. Geez, calm down. Are you sure you want to date that girl?”
Li Tian asked, feeling unsure about it. Despite knowing that that girl was a member of the Dragon Soul and had ulterior motives when she approached He Shang, Li Tian didn’t have the heart to tell He Shang the truth after seeing how persistent he was about his relationship with her.
As long as He Shang was happy, Li Tian didn’t mind even if He Shang had betrayed him.
“Of course, brother! I know what love is when I see it. I swear, I fell in love with her at first sight. My heart has never beat that fast even when I was facing a machine gun. What kind of spell is that? After talking for a while, she didn’t even seem to mind that I wasn’t good looking at all. You know just how much I’ve been looked down on when we were overseas. It felt so good seeing her smile at me!”
“Okay, that’s enough!”
Li Tian quickly cut him off. He never realized that a man like He Shang was capable of saying all these mushy words.
“Suit yourself. I also have something to do these few days so I won’t be calling you any time soon. Just one more thing. Stay alert and don’t let anyone find out about our identities.”
Li Tian didn’t really mean what he just said. Why? Because they had already found out anyway. Li Tian just hoped that He Shang would be more careful as He Shang would be in trouble if the Dragon Soul took any action against him.
Li Tian suddenly wondered if he should pay the Dragon Soul a visit. After all, he hadn’t had the chance to ask them about Chen Ya Jing’s incident yet. At the same time, he thought he should give the people at Dragon Soul a little warning to not mess with He Shang, otherwise…
