Chapter 311: The Sleepwalking CEO's Secretary
"Honey, if you don't talk, I'll take that as your consent." Su Chen's hand slowly reached towards Lin Xi, preparing to lift her up.
"Stay and talk to me for a while." Just as Su Chen's hand was about to touch Lin Xi, she suddenly spoke.
"Oh, okay." Su Chen could only retract his hand that was about to reach its destination, while looking at Lin Xi eagerly.
Lin Xi turned her head, a teasing smile on her face, and said, "I asked you to accompany me in talking, I didn't say you couldn't use your hands."
Su Chen's eyes lit up at the words. Is the lady giving me a hint…
Looking at Lin Xi's stunning body, Su Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
His hand reached out again.
"I didn't say I'd allow you to touch me either."
Su Chen: "..."
Su Chen's face twitched.
Wife, you're not going to make any friends like this.
Su Chen's gloomy expression was fully captured by Lin Xi, who giggled, "Do you listen to everything I say?"
So that's how it is, wife!
Need some discipline, don't you?
This time, Su Chen directly lifted Lin Xi from the chair and walked towards her room.
"Wait, I didn't grab my coat…" Lin Xi's voice sounded coquettishly.
The two of them lay side by side, and indeed, they only chatted.
At this point, even Su Chen was somewhat disappointed in himself.
You know, in the past, if any beauty invited him to her room to chat, he would usually leave her unable to speak.
Or without the opportunity to talk.
Yet, for some reason, when he's with Lin Xi, he becomes quite awkward.
Even, he doesn't dare to touch her.
Maybe it's because he really cares.
When a man truly cares about a woman, he won't take the risk of offending her.
In fact, Lin Xi also didn't know why she had Su Chen come to her room to chat.
Maybe she was really scared today.
As the president of Yimena, the pillar of everyone, she can't show fear.
But that doesn't mean she's not afraid.
She's frightened too.
But she can't tell others.
So, she could only confide in Su Chen.
Even though Su Chen is also her subordinate, he still has a different status.
"Su Chen, if, I mean if, I was really bullied today, even thrown out onto the streets, would you… still want me?" Lin Xi told Su Chen about what happened today.
Actually, Su Chen already knew everything that had happened.
So she gets scared too.
No matter how independent, no matter how strong, she is still just a woman.
Moreover, the more a woman like Lin Xi appears to be strong, the more fragile she is inside.
"I'm sorry, honey, I should have been there with you, next time, I'll definitely be by your side." Su Chen could imagine the helplessness, the despair... Lin Xi faced at that time.
When she needed him the most, he wasn't by her side.
"What difference would it make if you were there? Could you confront the Eight Great Families like Mr. Su?"
Of course, Lin Xi didn't say this out loud.
After all, Su Chen is her husband, and to say that would seem to hurt his ego.
"Honey, although I'm not all that capable, if anyone messes with you, I'll fight them to the end." Su Chen's words were straightforward, not very romantic, but they gave Lin Xi a sense of security.
"Mhm."
Actually, for a high-intelligence woman like Lin Xi, sweet nothings don't really work.
It's this kind of plain-speaking that truly moves her.
Mess with my wife, and I'll fight you to the death.
"That…"
"What's up, honey?" Su Chen looked at Lin Xi, who lay on her side, revealing her stunning curves.
Lin Xi's cheeks were slightly red as she said, "Actually, I'm a bit tipsy…"
Lin Xi tipsy?
That can't be.
He remembers that at the Zhuang family's, Lin Xi could drink three big Zhuang family men under the table.
The drinks she had tonight were far less than what she had at the Zhuang family's gathering.
Could it be…
After racking his brain for a while, Su Chen suddenly realized.
Wife is hinting that she's drunk…
Lin Xi's eyes were already closed, her long eyelashes fluttering like playful sprites.
Her cheeks glowed with a faint blush, irresistibly alluring.
Clothed in a white shirt, her intellectual elegance shined through.
Observing Lin Xi so closely, Su Chen found his wife ever more enticing—beautiful and full of wisdom.
Facing such a woman, any man would be moved, right?
What else is there to say?
Just as everything was set, the moment was ripe, and out of the blue, he said, "So, honey, this time, will you cooperate?"
Then, there was no 'after'.
He was kicked off her by Lin Xi instantly.
Su Chen felt somewhat wronged.
He just wanted a little confirmation.
Who knew the wife would explode?
That's truly bringing disaster upon oneself.
But Su Chen wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't succeed, because someone knocked on the door.
Su Chen jumped in fright. Damn it, can't it be this coincidental?
Ran into a police room check?
Wait, she's my wife, so what if there's a check?
Damn, habitual thinking can be deadly.
Sure enough, Lin Xi gave Su Chen a dangerous look, "You should be the one who's scared, not me. Why are you afraid?"
"Eh... it's not that, I'm afraid our subordinates will know, it wouldn't be good…" Su Chen quickly explained.
Lin Xi thought about it and said, "Then hide in the closet."
Once Su Chen was hidden, Lin Xi tidied her slightly disheveled hair and opened the door.
And then, Tang Qian walked straight in.
Lin Xi was puzzled—what was this girl doing, coming to her room in the middle of the night?
"President, here's the contract you wanted, I'll put it on your desk." After saying that, she made a gesture of placing something down, then directly lay down beside Lin Xi.
Outside, Lin Xi and Su Chen inside the closet, both twitched.
Turns out, she was sleepwalking.
This is something else, even in her dreams, she's still working...
This dedication deserves praise.
Su Chen leaped out of the closet.
"What are you doing out here?" Lin Xi glared at Su Chen.
