My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Chapter 60 – Takes Precedence with Reason
Every sentence and word that Li Tian said had a profound impact on Lin Yi’s heart.
Dating? To be like the other couples, and go to the amusement park, watch movies, or go for a walk beside the lake?
She really wanted these things because she had never experienced them before.
Almost subconsciously, she replied, “Okay.”
It was only after she replied that she realized what she said and blushed.
It didn’t matter how strong she was in the business world, she was still a girl who hadn’t experienced much. When it came to romance, it was sometimes better to be indirect. Since Li Tian had asked her directly, it was normal for her to be a bit shy.
When Li Tian saw the shy look on Lin Yi’s face, he wished that he could hold her and kiss her.
For real, his heart was moved and conquered by this strong yet pure girl.
Perhaps, it was conquered by her long ago. Perhaps, he had only realized just today.
But soon, Lin Yi reacted and resumed her usual character.
“I said okay but I have some requests. I hope you can meet them.”
“What requests?”
“Firstly…”
“Wait? What do you mean by firstly? Do you mean that there’s more than one request?”
“Of course. There will be at least three to five requests. Otherwise, how will I be able to restrain you?”
“Well, I guess so. I’ll promise I’ll do whatever you say.”
Li Tian could sort of guess Lin Yi’s thoughts. However, he didn’t say them out loud.
“The first one is that you’re not allowed to stay out at night without my permission!”
“Haven’t I agreed to this before?”
“Really? Then, that one doesn’t count.”
“No, let’s count it.”
…
In brief, there was a series of unequal rules. Why were they unequal? It was because the rules were there to solely restrain Li Tian and they had no effect on Lin Yi.
For example, he wasn’t allowed to meet Chen Yajing in the office. He wasn’t allowed to flirt with the beautiful women in the company and wasn’t allowed to call himself anyone’s boyfriend.
In fact, Lin Yi wanted to ask Li Tian and Chen Yajing to break up their relationship completely. However, after she thought about it, she realized that it wasn’t that practical. If she said this, it might have a reverse psychology effect on Li Yian. If that were to happen, her losses would outweigh the benefits.
In fact, she didn’t even know what she was afraid of.
In short, Li Yian eventually yielded after some resistance, and they came to an agreement.
Yes, overall there were a few basic rules.
Li Tian was a little flabbergasted. He had never thought that such a day would arrive.
According to their agreement, they would be able to date in the next week. However, as for how exactly they would date, he definitely could not go and ask Lin Yi.
When dating girls, there is something that you must remember. And that is to have a plan. When a girl asks, “Where are we going?”, you can’t say something casual or ask her to decide. If you do that, even if the girl doesn’t say something on the surface level, she will definitely think in her mind that this man is not reliable.
(Li Tian’s dating experience of 10 years has been shared with you. Hurry up and reward him!)
“Wife, let me ask you about something. What did you and Su Xiaoyue talk about? Why did you want me to go find them all of a sudden?”
The two people were almost done talking. Li Tiansun conveniently asked some other questions.
As soon as they talked about this question, Lin Yi replied with a question: “Did you do something to offend her? Otherwise, she wouldn’t ask me to tell you to go. I know her character. If you were to go over, you definitely would not get something good out of it.”
It turned out that she knew, but Li Tian thought that Lin Yi didn’t know.
Under the circumstances that she knew, how did she call her husband out in such a direct fashion?
“How have I offended her? She just doesn’t like the look of me. Wife, hurry up and tell me how she plans to give me a hard time. If it is too violent, I won’t go. You can tell her that I’m taking a holiday. Is that okay?”
Li Tian was terrified. He would rather offend someone who was petty instead of offending a woman. This was because he might not know how he would even die if he offended a woman.
“This… I can’t help you with this. You should go by yourself. Nothing major will happen. The most that might happen would be that she would give you a bit of trouble. She is that type of person. Once her anger is gone, it’ll all be better.”
Once her anger is gone, it’ll all be better? I’m your husband. Are you not afraid for your husband to be tormented?
Li Tian was angry. The way Lin Yi sided with someone else was evidently an issue, no matter how one looked at it.
“Wife, you can’t be like this. What is our relationship and what is your relationship with her? She’s an outsider. How can you help an outsider?”
Jealous, Li Tian was evidently jealous.
“Who said that she is an outsider?”
“Is that not true? At most, she is your most capable assistant. However, I am your family!”
Li Tian attempted to persuade Lin Yi to reveal a bit more to him.
“What do you think of Mother Wang?”
Suddenly, Lin Yi asked a question that was completely irrelevant.
“She’s pretty good. Why do you ask?”
“Then, do you regard Mother Wang as part of our family?”
“Of course, Mother Wang is like my relative. She is so good to me.”
“Then, that’s not okay. Su Xiaoyue is Mother Wang’s daughter. How can you say that she is not our family?”
“W-what?”
Li Tian was in shock. Su Xiaoyue was Mother Wang’s daughter? Wasn’t Mother Wang unmarried? How did a daughter come about out of the blue? And also, Mother Wang never mentioned it before and Su Xiaoyue had never visited her either.
“Mother Wang was actually married before. However, her husband died early. But she couldn’t help not having children. And thus, she went to the orphanage and adopted two children. One of them is Su Xiaoyue. She has the surname of her husband, Su.”
If it weren’t for this relationship, why would Lin Yi willingly give such an important department to Su Xiaoyue and Su Jin? One had to know that Su Jin went abroad as a vice president of their company.
In short, Lin Yi said this much to prove that he was a close relative and Su Xiaoyue was too. Even if she stood with the side of reasoning, who decided what side had more reason? When one compared Su Xiaoyue and Li Tian, although Li Tian was more reasonable, he would still be deemed as unreasonable. This was because one side was a girl.
Wasn’t there a saying? Ladies first and thus they take precedence with reason in an argument.
“Then, why hasn’t she come to see Mother Wang. I don’t believe this.”
“Who said that she didn’t come to see her? She comes here every week.”
“Then, why didn’t I see it?”
“How often do you even come here? There are three days left in this week. She typically comes here on Friday. However, this time she has to travel. When travelling is over, she will definitely come.”
Only then did Li Tian realize something very important. It seemed that every single time he came over here, he didn’t come for a long time.
If he thought about it carefully, it was exactly seven days. Today was Friday, and the last time that Li Tian came over was last Saturday.
Did he really miss it?
“Okay, I’ll go then. Even if it were for Mother Wang, I would go. However, my wife, you have to call me whenever you have time. Please don’t let me die in the midst of this confusion.”
“She’s not that sort of person.”
“She’s not a person when she’s like that!”
