The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

Yi Yichen had been in meetings all day, and it was already past four o'clock when he finished.

He went back to his apartment upstairs, washed up, and changed into dry clothes, a simple shirt and trousers. After removing his tie, he looked more approachable and relaxed.

"Has the car arrived?" he asked his assistant Xiao Song.

"Secretary Chu is waiting downstairs." Xiao Song followed behind him, with his hands crossed and hanging down, appearing respectful.

"You should get off work."

The elevator slowly descended and stopped at the first floor entrance. The usual Mercedes-Benz had been waiting for a long time. Secretary Chu stood in front of the car, dressed in a shirt and jeans, looking quite charming. The driver, wearing white gloves, waited respectfully at the door.

"Okay, you can go home now." Yi Yichen unbuttoned his suit jacket. "The sooner you can deal with Stephen Lee, the sooner you can get the emerald you want."

Chu Mu smiled without saying anything and took a step back.

The driver opened the back door and Yi Yichen got in. As he bent over, he saw that the car was empty. He frowned, looked at Chu Mu unhappily, and asked, "Where's the person?"

Chu Mu took a step forward, a faint smile on his face: "Boss Yi, Madam Yi is on vacation abroad with her friends and will not be returning for two months."

Yi Yichen's brows knitted together, the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he said with displeasure, "Did you tell her what day it is today?"

It was Mr. Yi’s 80th birthday, and it was also the first time that Yi Yichen and his wife officially met their parents.

It can be said that today's dinner is no less than their wedding.

"I did, but my wife said she can't come back." Chu Mu remained calm and collected. He only allowed Yi Yichen to disappear after marriage, but not her temporarily.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that Yi Yichen is even more outrageous. If this happened in ancient times, the groom's failure to show up on the wedding night could directly provoke a conflict between the two countries. She just used it as an excuse to travel. Only a kind-hearted person could do such a thing.

Yi Yichen was skeptical and looked Chu Mu up and down.

Chu Mu felt a little guilty when he looked at her, and subconsciously lowered her head. Yi Yichen was as sharp as an eagle, and he could see through her every little movement.

Suddenly, Chu Mu's blood boiled and her mind buzzed. A sudden realization struck her, and she quickly raised her head, looking ahead as if nothing had happened.

Yi Yichen didn't think much about it and just thought that she was feeling guilty because she had done a poor job.

His originally tense eyes gradually softened. Then, he dialed the number of the villa.

"Is the lady home?"

It was Wu Ma who answered the phone. She said something on the phone, and he relaxed.

Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had moved out of the villa some time ago and told Wu Ma that she was going to travel abroad and would not be returning home in the near future.

Not finding anyone in the villa, Yi Yichen called Chu Mu's private phone again.

The next second, the phone in Chu Mu's bag rang.

Yi Yichen raised his eyes and gave him a sharp look.

The call that had just been dialed rang on Chu Mu's phone?

I forgot to turn off my personal phone!

Chu Mu panicked, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly. She concealed her feelings slightly, but her face remained calm and composed: "Mr. Yi, my friend."

Chu Mu walked away, turned off her phone ringer, and pretended to be on the phone. After two or three sentences, she came back and found that Yi Yichen's phone had been disconnected by the operator because the other party had not answered for a long time.

Putting away his phone, Yi Yichen glanced at Chu Mu, then walked to the trunk. When he came back, he had a gift box in his hand.

"Put it on." Yi Yichen ordered.

Chu Mu opened the gift box, revealing a beige halter dress. Made of silk, it felt smooth and comfortable, the threads gleaming in the sunlight.

"You'll accompany me to the family dinner today." Yi Yichen said casually, as if anyone could be Mrs. Yi.

A trace of anger rose in Chu Mu's heart. Yi Yichen treated this marriage too lightly.

But considering the disparity in power between the Chu and Yi families, this child marriage was, to put it bluntly, just a marriage arranged by the Yi family to fulfill their promise to the Chu family.

Chu Mu felt relieved, and then came up with a plan. He bravely stepped forward and said, "Boss Yi, do you want something from me?"
