Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Caught Cheating Red-Handed?
After Su Wanxin sent Zhong Xian into the elevator, she came back to find Chen Lei and asked, "What did you need me for just now?"
Chen Lei looked up at her with a strange expression. Su Wanxin’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Is there something on my face?"
"President Su, I want to take some time off."
"Huh?" Su Wanxin was stunned for a moment. "What happened?"
"I’m feeling burned out."
Su Wanxin’s first subconscious thought was, could this man be going through menopause? But on second thought, that wasn’t right; Chen Lei wasn’t at that age yet.
So it must be his ’aunt’ visiting, feeling down. These days, it’s tough not only for women but also for men—who need to be comforted at the right time.
"It’s the end of the year and we’re a bit busy at the company, so I can’t give you a long holiday, but a week is doable. You go home and ask your sister-in-law where she wants to go, and let finance help book your flights and hotel as a year-end benefit."
Chen Lei: "..."
With President Su being so understanding and caring, how could he be someone who would have an affair?
But if not, what were those two doing in the room for nearly three hours?
What kind of major project would make Su Wanxin waste three hours negotiating with that guy?
Chen Lei was a little unsettled, wanting to call Fu Shihan to talk about this, but not daring to do so.
He didn’t know how to start, and couldn’t even bear to think about the consequences once he spoke up.
Volcanoes erupting, landslides, Mars colliding with Earth.
Maybe with a single blast of anger, Fu Shihan could destroy their company. Although Su Wanxin is formidable, Chen Lei still felt that Fu Shihan might be even more so.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going. Brother Shanshi, don’t stress too much. Email me any important tasks, and you can start your leave tomorrow."
After Su Wanxin finished speaking, she turned around and left. Chen Lei sat despairingly on the sofa, feeling hopeless.
A rare paid vacation with a free trip abroad, yet why was his heart struggling so much?
He can’t leave; he needs to observe a little longer.
But then again, where had he seen that man before?
Chen Lei scratched his head, thinking hard for a long time until he finally remembered.
He suddenly stood up, gasping for breath. That man from before, wasn’t he the psychological doctor who had been on a show with Su Wanxin before, what was his name again?
What kind of project cooperation could there be between a psychological doctor and a securities firm?
Chen Lei was blank—his limbs cold.
He would never associate Su Wanxin with depression.
In his eyes, Su Wanxin’s mental state was explosively good; he had never seen any woman as self-disciplined and strong as this girl in his life.
Chen Lei kept reassuring himself that he must be overthinking it—why can’t there be pure friendship between men and women? Wasn’t it just a bit of extra chatting? Look at how nervous he made himself, like some uncivilized person who hasn’t seen the world.
But then thinking about Su Wanxin’s flushed cheeks and her husky voice...
Chen Lei’s face turned green.
Su Wanxin was unaware that Chen Lei had seen Zhong Xian, and she didn’t know about the plethora of Chen Lei’s inner drama.
She was busy until off-work time and planned to head home after packing up. But as soon as she left the company, she found it was snowing outside.
Mu Xinghan, whom she hadn’t seen for many days, was leaning against the gate waiting for her.
"Miss, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
He dangled that smile as usual upon seeing Su Wanxin.
Su Wanxin nodded and followed him, then realized that he surprisingly hadn’t come on his motorbike today but had come by car.
She got into that flamboyant Lamborghini, buckled her seat belt, and asked him, "Why did you drive today?"
"The wind is strong; riding a motorcycle is too cold on the face."
"...Fair enough, makes sense."
