144 Yes, We’re In A Relationship!

Chen Xin’s attitude was very upright and he did not hide anything. After all, the more he hid it, the easier it was to make things worse.

Li Xiwu frowned. “I mean, why did you do that?”

Chen Xin panicked. “I-I was confused.”

He shouldn’t have done this. He shouldn’t have done private matters during business, so Chen Xin was very regretful.

Li Xiwu took a deep breath and reminded Chen Xin, “I remember that your family background is not bad to begin with. You’re also a top student who graduated from Qingbei. When you came to R.E, you were directly placed in an important position by Mr. Pei and became the enviable senior assistant of the president. Your annual salary is nearly ten million. You have the best honor and the highest experience, but why did you do something that destroyed your future?”

Chen Xin: “…”

These words frightened Chen Xin. And he was very frightened! He… Wasn’t he just in a daze and took the opportunity to be intimate with his little girlfriend on the way back from Mr. Pei’s mission? How did it escalate to the point of destroying his future?

Although, this was indeed not good.

Not only was it damaging to his image, but this was also Mr. Pei’s car. He really shouldn’t have kissed Xue Jinzhu in this car. But according to Miss Li’s tone, it was too serious…

In fact, Li Xiwu still thought that Chen Xin had slept with Pei Jingzhou’s woman. Therefore, in her opinion, this matter was very serious! Pei Jingzhou was such a dictatorial person. How could he tolerate his assistant cuckolding him? If Pei Jingzhou found out, Chen Xin’s career would come to an end.

She said, “I still suggest you get a serious girlfriend. I’ll pretend I didn’t see her tonight. You—”

Before she could finish, Chen Xin interrupted hesitantly, “Uh, Zhuzhu is my girlfriend.”

Li Xiwu was stunned.

Chen Xin’s tone was very firm. “Miss Li, I don’t know if you’ve misunderstood something, but I still have to make it clear that Zhuzhu is my girlfriend. We’re in a relationship.”

With that, Chen Xin noticed that Li Xiwu was clearly stunned. Chen Xin immediately realized that Miss Li had indeed misunderstood something. “Miss Li, are you…”

Chen Xin was about to ask something when Li Xiwu suddenly raised her hand and gestured. “Wait!” Then, she asked, “You said that Xue Jinzhu is your girlfriend. Are you in a relationship?”

Chen Xin replied, “Yes, we confirmed our relationship this year, but we’ve known each other for many years. I’m her… senior.”

Li Xiwu: “…”

So what she saw at the hotel that day was actually Chen Xin and Xue Jinzhu hugging each other?

Had she seen it wrongly?

Li Xiwu carefully recalled the scene. When she walked out of the corner, she saw Xue Jinzhu hugging a man and kissing him. The jacket on the man’s hand was Pei Jingzhou’s jacket. Because they were kissing, she didn’t pay close attention to his face.

Just from that jacket, she was certain that the man hugging Xue Jinzhu was… Pei Jingzhou!

At this moment, Xue Jinzhu, who had been waiting obediently for a long time, naturally heard Chen Xin and Li Xiwu’s conversation. She walked over and whispered, “Sister Li.”

Li Xiwu looked at Xue Jinzhu.

Xue Jinzhu said, “Sister Li, it’s my fault this time. I shouldn’t have pestered Brother. If you want to scold me, scold me. Don’t tell President Pei about this. I’m afraid President Pei will fire Brother in anger.”

It took Li Xiwu a long time to calm down. She looked at Xue Jinzhu for a long time before asking, “Are you and Chen Xin really in a relationship?”

Xue Jinzhu whispered, not daring to do what she had done during the day. “Yes.”

Li Xiwu said angrily, “That day at the hotel, were you also hugging Chen Xin?”

It had been a while since the hotel incident, and she and Chen Xin would occasionally go to a hotel, so she couldn’t remember which time it was at the hotel.

Seeing that Xue Jinzhu’s expression seemed to be recalling, Li Xiwu said, “The hotel where you first met me.”

Her words reminded Xue Jinzhu. She remembered.

“Oh, that day…” Xue Jinzhu said as she recalled. “Before that day, Brother had already been on a business trip with President Pei for a few days. I was very angry that he didn’t come back for my birthday. I lost my rationality in my anger and ran to pester Brother. Brother had to deal with me and coax me while dealing with work with President Pei.

“I swear, that was the first time I thought that President Pei was easy to talk to. I complained that he had arranged too much work for Brother. He was scared to death, but President Pei was not angry.”

At that time, Xue Jinzhu did not know where she got the courage. It was fine if she followed him all the way, but she even dared to complain about him oppressing his employees in front of Pei Jingzhou.

While she was complaining, she did not notice that Chen Xin had seen Li Xiwu and even went over to greet her. When they reached the elevator, President Pei took the time to reply to her. “I’ve been very busy with the project recently. When I’m done, I’ll ask him to take a day off to accompany you.”

Chen Xin was filled with gratitude. Although the boss was dictatorial, he was also very humane. The next day, he asked him to take a day off to accompany Xue Jinzhu.

“Miss Li? Miss Li?” Chen Xin shouted twice before Li Xiwu came back to her senses. Chen Xin’s expression was very solemn. “This matter…”

Li Xiwu said quickly, “I didn’t see this.”

Chen Xin was stunned. “But Miss Li.”

“I really didn’t see anything.” Li Xiwu took a deep breath. “It’s rare for you to meet. Xue Jinzhu still has to go to Mount Liang tomorrow. Have a good chat. I’ll go back and rest first.”

With that, Li Xiwu turned around and left.

Chen Xin quickly stopped her. “Miss Li, the boots…”

Li Xiwu walked quickly, not caring about the boots. Now, only Xue Jinzhu and Chen Xin were left. Xue Jinzhu looked at Chen Xin with a frown. “What should I do? I think I got into trouble.”

Chen Xin took Xue Jinzhu’s hand and pulled her into his arms to comfort her. “It’s fine. I’ll take care of it, but I think Miss Li must have misunderstood something.”

–

Li Xiwu hurried back to the inn. As soon as she went upstairs, she met Han Qianye, who was about to go downstairs.

Li Xiwu turned to the side to make way. Han Qianye did not leave. Li Xiwu looked up at Han Qianye. “You’re going downstairs?”

“No.” Anyway, it was good that you were back.

The last sentence was in her heart.

Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu’s pale face. She did not want to care, but she still said with concern, “How long were you in the cold outside? Your face is pale. Aren’t you cold?”

Li Xiwu raised her hand to her face.

Only then did she realize that her cheeks were very cold. She retracted her hand and had no choice but to spout nonsense. “I chatted with Director Yu outside for a while longer. Fortunately, it’s not very cold.”

Han Qianye was annoyed that she cared about Li Xiwu again and quickly said, “I’m not concerned about you.”

Li Xiwu said, “I know. You were just asking.”

Han Qianye: “…”

Li Xiwu turned to the side. “Then I’ll go back to my room.”

“Hey,” Han Qianye said.

Li Xiwu turned. “Yes?”

There was no one else around. Han Qianye walked up to Li Xiwu and said inexplicably, “I missed another appointment with my best friend this afternoon.”

Li Xiwu was not sure who Han Qianye’s best friend was. There were many people in her circle of wealthy wives. However, what was Han Qianye doing with her?

Han Qianye paused and continued, “Rongrong wants to introduce her niece to me.”
