My Brilliant CEO Wife

"Ahem, I've been really busy lately, haven't had any time to spare, you know?" Yun Hao rubbed his forehead with one hand, a colossal mistake—he should've called Ying'Er if he'd known Park Yueyao would react this way!

At least Ying'Er wouldn't babble on like a scorned woman. At most, she'd just shout, "Can't you stop bothering me all the time?"

"Ahem, Yue Yao, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor." Finally, Yun Hao found an opportunity to insert a word with difficulty.

"What is it?"

"Well, it's like this: Is there someone named Li something Zhuo in your country? He recently came to Huaxia, and there's supposed to be a new song release event tonight?"

"Li something Zhuo? Are you talking about Li Zhongzhuo?"

"Yes, yes, that's the guy!"

"What's up? Is there some conflict between you two? My dear Yun, it's best not to mess with him easily; his background is not simple!" Upon hearing Yun Hao's confirmation, Park Yueyao switched from her previous nagging tone to one of extreme seriousness.

"Why would I provoke him? I don't even know who the hell he is! He's the one who tried to mess with me, having the nerve to invite my woman to a candlelight dinner!"

Yun Hao couldn't care less about Li Zhongzhuo's background. Inviting Zhao Shishi to a candlelight dinner without directly killing the guy was already considered a blessing for him.

"Yun, listen to my advice: don't provoke Li Zhongzhuo. I've investigated him for a long time, but there's no headway, and none of my people sent to track him have returned alive. I suspect he has a powerful backer. If things don't work out, why not just let that woman go with Li Zhongzhuo?"

Park Yueyao understood Yun Hao's character well, and that was why she was trying so hard to persuade him. She knew Yun Hao would definitely go and trouble Li Zhongzhuo, which would put him in great danger!

Betting one's life on a woman is really not worth it. Although Park Yueyao is a woman herself, she believes that there are women everywhere; if you lose one, another will come along. But life, once it's gone, it's gone forever!

"You know I could never do as you suggest, but there's one thing I'm very curious about: what kind of background does this Li Zhongzhuo have that makes you so fearful? Also, your men went missing, and yet you dare not retaliate?" Yun Hao decisively rejected Park Yueyao's suggestion!

Are you kidding me? If a man can't even protect his own woman and is willing to give her up just to stay alive, what right does he have to be called a man? He might as well chop off his own hand to spare good girls any hassle.

Meanwhile, as Yun Hao probed into Li Zhongzhuo's background, upstairs in Zhao Shishi's room, Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi were having a private chat.

"Shishi, you're not seriously going to have dinner with that Li Zhongzhuo, are you?"

"Well, I already agreed to meet him, how can I refuse? But it's not exactly a candlelight dinner, it's just at the Yunteng Hotel."

"But even so, I bet Yun Hao, that big jar of vinegar, will be upset. Do you remember how angry he was when I dined with someone else in the past?"

"I really don't want to, but Li Zhongzhuo's team set the event at the Yunteng Hotel. As the General Manager, I have to host, and then he said he wanted to invite me to dinner as a thank you after the event. I can't really refuse, can I? What if he refers more such high-profile events to our hotel?"

"I was just thinking of helping you two earn a bit more money!" Zhao Shishi felt helpless. Although she always claimed that Li Zhongzhuo was her idol, it was merely talk, based on the role he played in some innocent TV show.

Honestly, since knowing Yun Hao, she had long outgrown that phase. This was just a coincidence.

Then, when she got home and saw Yun Hao and Chu Yan cuddling on the sofa, she felt a bit jealous. So she decided to use this as an excuse to tease Yun Hao.

"How about this: when you go down later, just ask Yun Hao to come along with you and have him by your side. That way, he shouldn't get mad, right?" Chu Yan thought for a moment and offered her a suggestion.

"Are you sure? Meeting another man and bringing him along to watch—doesn't it seem more likely to make him angry? You know how petty Yun Hao is!"

"Are you silly? Just introduce Yun Hao as your boyfriend when you meet Li Zhongzhuo. This will show your stance and also satisfy Yun Hao's vanity!"

"And what about you..." Zhao Shishi had considered this, but she was worried about what would happen if Chu Yan got upset. After all, Chu Yan is Yun Hao's official wife.

"I don't mind at all. Besides, there's one thing I haven't told you..." As Chu Yan said this, she was still cautious even though there were only the two of them in the room. She looked around the room before whispering into Zhao Shishi's ear: "Yun Hao this time when he came back..."

When Zhao Shishi heard Chu Yan comparing her to a fire extinguisher, she immediately felt both embarrassed and angry, and they began to playfully fight.

They both knew well enough what 'fire extinguisher' meant.

After their playful scuffle, the two ladies went downstairs together. Although Zhao Shishi was in a dress, it wasn't one of those revealing types showing too much cleavage as they had initially joked about.

"Honey, why don't you drive Shishi there, and then pick her up safely when she finishes?" After they got downstairs, Chu Yan spoke to Yun Hao, who was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, according to what she had discussed with Zhao Shishi.

This was initially something Zhao Shishi could have said herself, but because her words earlier were too bold, she had Chu Yan say it instead!
