“What’s the use of talking about this? We should just hurry up and go eat. We really have to thank Mrs. Bai. If that meeting went on for any longer, I would have fainted from hunger…”

“You’re right. I hope that Mrs. Bai can call her husband every day to remind him to come home on time for dinner. Hahaha…”

It was not just the high-ranking officials in the conference room who were in shock. It was the same in the CEO’s office. Qiu Ming was being tagged like crazy, as everyone wanted to know more about Bai Qihan and his wife.

[Qiu Ming, when did the boss get married? Why was there no news at all? Do you know?]

[Is there a need to ask? Qiu Ming definitely knew. He’s the boss’ special assistant. He’s with the boss every day! Brother, you’re not being nice. Why didn’t you tell us when you knew?]

[I heard that Mrs. Bai only turned 18 recently. Is that true? Oh my god, the boss was actually such a person? What a beast…]

Qiu Ming had gone out to deal with the project in the development zone. As soon as he got into the car, his phone kept buzzing from the constant stream of notifications. He thought something had happened, but when he saw what it was, his mind went black. He quickly typed out a reply: [Don’t spread such baseless rumors! The madam is not eighteen! She’s 25 years old this year! She’s an adult.]

The people in the group continued to ask, [I don’t believe it. Do you have any photos of her? I want to see what she looks like. If you send some photos, I’ll treat you to milk tea.]

[What a horrible reward! What’s he going to do with milk tea? Introduce him to a girl instead! The boss already has a wife, yet he’s a single dog and has to follow them around every day. I feel embarrassed for him. Hahaha…]

Qiu Ming, [I don’t have any photos! Don’t even think about it! If the boss finds out, your year-end bonus will be deducted!]

The group quickly shut up. The year-end bonus was clearly a big deal to them.

At this moment, Qiu Ming only wanted to say that he was really tired.

Luo Yun had no idea that her phone call had caused such a huge commotion. She sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow as she watched TV and waited for Bai Qihan to come back and eat dinner with her. However, while waiting, she actually fell asleep.

At this moment, a sound came from the entrance. Luo Yun woke up in a daze and saw the butler pushing Bai Qihan over. She hurriedly got up from the sofa and ran over. “You’re back?”

“There was a bit of traffic on the way back. Sorry for making you wait.”

“It’s fine.” Luo Yun shook her head and pushed him to the dining table. “Let’s eat.”

“You don’t have to wait for me next time. It’ll just take up your time,” Bai Qihan said.

Luo Yun sat down. “It’s fine. Why were you still in a meeting when it was already so late? How are people supposed to eat…” As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something. Other than Bai Qihan, who else could make him hold a meeting? She felt like she had said something wrong. She had never really understood a CEO’s working hours.

“I’ll be careful and keep better track of time in the future.” Bai Qihan thought about it and actually agreed.

“Then, if you can’t come back in time in the future, can you tell me in advance?” This request seemed normal to Luo Yun.

But for Bai Qihan, other than the Bai family’s old master, no one had ever made such requests from him. As such, he was unfamiliar with such things.

Luo Yun just looked at him like that and thought, “Does he find it troublesome?”

“I’ll get Qiu Ming to send you my schedule. If you have any requests, tell him to adjust the schedule,” Bai Qihan said slowly.

Luo Yun was speechless. Is this the world of a tyrant? If she had a request, she would have to request a change in his schedule in advance. She tightened her grip on her chopsticks. “Do I really have to make an appointment in advance if I want to see you or eat with you?” It did not sound wrong. After all, generally speaking, anyone who wanted to see Bai Qihan would have to make an appointment in advance.

However, she was his wife; they were not business partners, so why did she have to make an appointment with the special assistant in advance for a meal between husband and wife? If his special assistant were a woman, would it not affect the harmony of the family too much? Besides, her not having any special privileges as his wife caused her to become a little moody.

Bai Qihan noticed it in time and probed, “Tell Qiu Ming?”

“Can’t I tell you directly?” Luo Yun looked at him.

“Hm, sure.” Bai Qihan nodded. “Just send me a message if you need anything. I’ll reply once I see it.”

Seeing that she was still a little angry, Bai Qihan picked up a piece of braised pork with preserved vegetables for her and even chose the largest piece. “No one will disturb you today. Eat more meat.”

When Luo Yun heard this, she could not help but laugh out loud. He still remembers what happened yesterday? “You should eat more too.” She picked up some food for him. In a short while, a small mountain piled up in his bowl.

“There’s too much,” Bai Qihan said helplessly. “I don’t even know where to start.”

When Luo Yun saw this, she immediately picked up a piece of pork rib from his bowl and placed it in her bowl. “There, that should be enough.”

A second ago, she was still a little moody, but the next second, she was happily eating ribs. Was this what a woman was like?

Bai Qihan thought to himself, “Well, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with this.”
