The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

The banquet hall uses amber and white magnesium lamps, which emit enough light to illuminate every corner of the banquet hall.

"If I go in with you without any makeup on, people might think your girlfriend is inferior. I won't take the responsibility." She looked straight ahead, her manner was natural, and she appeared generous and confident.

He just looked at her without saying anything. He thought it was best this way, as she wouldn't attract more attention.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for coming to support us!" As they walked arm in arm to the door of the banquet hall on the second floor, someone came up to greet Lu Jingshen with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, you're too polite." Lu Jingshen just responded lightly.

So cool! Lin Jiaran couldn't help but glance at Lu Jingshen. Her father was always polite and courteous when he attended banquets. But Lu Jingshen showed no enthusiasm when others bowed and nodded to him. He just said five words indifferently with a blank expression...

"This person must be the daughter of Yuanfeng, Mr. Lu's fiancée." The man looked at Lin Jiaran again and said with a smile. The reason why Mr. Chen said this was because Lu Jingshen had never had any female companion to attend any event with him before. This was the first time he saw him arm in arm with a woman, and he also heard that he was about to get engaged.

"Well, this one is indeed the daughter of Yuanfeng." Lu Jingshen said this with a smile. He thought that the word "fiancée" sounded very pleasant to his ears.

"Please come in, both of you." Lin Jiaran had also taken etiquette classes and had received professional training in this area, so she responded with a professional smile.

"If my reputation is damaged because of you, you and Lin Qing will each bear half of the responsibility!" Lin Jiaran glanced at him indignantly. When she wanted to let go of his hand, Lu Jingshen signaled with his eyes that someone was watching, so she had no choice but to hold on again.

"I just responded to his identity and did not acknowledge our relationship."

"Does that matter? What will my dad say if he finds out? Why am I always involved with your family?" She glanced at him as she spoke.

"Your dad knows where you are interning. By the time I get engaged, this matter will be self-defeating. Why are you so afraid of your dad?" Their eyes met by coincidence, and he quickly avoided her gaze and said while looking straight ahead.

"Am I afraid of him? What a joke!" She refused to admit it. The reason why she was afraid that her father would misunderstand that she had an improper relationship between a man and a woman was mainly because her father was superstitious. Some Taoist priest told him that if she got married before graduating from college, bad things would happen. So when rumors spread that she had obtained a marriage certificate, her father was both angry and scared.

He couldn't help but smile.

Today's banquet is a business banquet jointly held by the wealthy merchants in Shancheng. The purpose is to promote mutual cooperation. There are also special arrangements for seating. Someone of Lu Jingshen's status naturally sits in the front row.

"Mr. Lu is not bringing his assistant today but a female companion instead." A lady with bright red lips came over and greeted Lu Jingshen. During the conversation, she focused her attention on Lin Jiaran who was sitting next to Lu Jingshen.

"Who he brings has nothing to do with you." Lin Jiaran took the boiled water on the table and took a sip, then said with contempt without even looking at him, with a majestic aura and sharpness in her words. If he said that Lu Jingshen had no relationship with her sister, she would pretend not to hear it, but unfortunately they did. How could she allow other women to think about her sister's people?

Lu Jingshen sat there like a bystander, ignoring the woman who was talking to him, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Jiaran. He knew that she was defending Lin Qing, and he was wondering when she would defend herself.

The woman walked over to Lin Jiaran and sat down.

"Why do you want him to sit next to me? I don't know you well." Lin Jiaran glanced at him with boredom, completely ignoring the woman sitting next to him.

"Your words just now seemed to indicate that you were dissatisfied with me." The woman said, taking a sip of the wine in her hand skillfully.

"I heard it, but you're still sitting here shamelessly. What are you doing?"

"The more you watch this man, the more curious he is about the outside world." The woman said intentionally or unintentionally. The two of them were engaged in a verbal battle without paying attention to anyone else, while Lu Jingshen remained silent beside them, believing that he didn't need to show up in such a situation, and she could easily take it down.

"I can see that you are experienced. Next time you hook up with a man, remember to see who he brings with him before you make your move. It's no coincidence that you came today. Even if he has an appointment with you today, he can't go." She also said in a polite manner.

"Little girl, I just want to say a few words to President Lu. There's no need to be so confrontational." The woman was still forcing a smile. She rarely met a woman like Lin Jiaran who would get straight to the point and confront her.

"Now that we've come to this, why don't you stay for the feast, auntie? There's no seat for you. I've seen people who don't know what's best for them, but I've never seen someone as shameless and ignorant as you." She had a blank expression on her face, and every word she spoke was sharp. She glanced coldly at the woman next to her with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"Even the strong smell of perfume can't cover up your sexiness!" The woman stood up and left with embarrassment on her face. Lin Jiaran said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

She glanced at Lu Jingshen with a bad look again. He could actually watch coldly! Even if he had a relationship with her sister, her sister was not with him often. If she was not here today, they would have gone to the bathroom to do something dirty.

"Who are you scolding?" The woman questioned Lin Jiaran in a restrained voice.

"So what if I scold you! If you don't agree, hit me. Since you have the guts to seduce other people's men, you must bear the consequences. Scolding you is the least of your worries." Lin Jiaran spoke in a provocative tone, her eyes extremely cold.

"When did President Qiao become so shameless?" Lu Jingshen spoke. If he didn't speak again, the people around him would probably think that he really had some relationship with this person.

Because of Lu Jingshen's words, the woman had to leave with an unhappy look on her face.

After what just happened, Lin Jiaran thought that the reason her sister broke up was because he often hooked up with others. Who could tolerate such a thing? But she couldn't say much about their affairs.

After the banquet, they returned to the hotel where they were staying.

Walking into the hotel lobby, they walked one after the other. At the front desk of the hotel where they checked in, a little boy happily called out "Mom", which caught her attention because she heard a familiar female voice. She looked over. She was so surprised that she almost shouted out the person's name. It was her sister Lin Qing.

But when Lu Jingshen was there, she calmed down. When did her sister adopt a child? How could she not know? But it shouldn't be adopted. If it was adopted, she could take the child home openly. But when did her sister give birth? Could this be the reason why she often went on business trips and broke up with Lu Jingshen?

"We'll go back to Ancheng the day after tomorrow. You can have a day off tomorrow and go shopping." Lu Jingshen was talking to her in the elevator. Lin Jiaran was still thinking about Sherlock Holmes's case in her mind and didn't hear what he said.

"Why are you looking at me?" She was thinking too seriously, and when she came to her senses, she met Lu Jingshen's questioning eyes.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in thought?" He spoke to her twice in a row, but she didn't respond. He raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, but she still didn't respond. He then raised his hand and lightly touched her forehead before speaking.

"Nothing." She avoided his gaze, expressionless, pretending nothing had happened.

After returning to the room, Lin Jiaran immediately called her sister.

"Who are you?" A soft, slurred child's voice came from the phone.

Lin Jiaran was full of doubts! Did she call the wrong number? Uncertainly, she turned on her phone and checked it. She didn't call the wrong number! She still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that she had read it wrong, so she called to ask. As a result, the child's voice proved that she was not wrong.

"Xiao Ran." Her sister's voice.

"Who just answered the phone?"

"My son." Lin Qing said without hiding anything.

"I'm in room 3080 on the ninth floor. Come down and I'll talk to you."
