On the way to the company, Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng set three rules.
First, pretend that the two do not know each other inside the company.
Second, pretend that the two do not know each other near the company.
Third, do not expose their relationship in public.
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, his tone turning playful with a hint of coldness. "Am I really that unfit to be seen? Jian Yunong, you little ingrate, I just took you out for a nice meal. How can you turn your back on me after getting full?"
Jian Yunong tilted her head slightly, realizing it might be a bit excessive and anticipating that Huo Jincheng would not happily agree.
Jian Yunong softened her voice to list her reasons. "It's not that you can't be seen; you are light! You are electricity! You are the only divine light!"
Huo Jincheng: "..."
"Hehe... Is this joke not funny?" Jian Yunong had no choice but to return to seriousness. "You might not know, but many people think the First Lady is a great beauty, a daughter from a prestigious family."
Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Yunong, indifferent. "So what? I don't care about other people's opinions."
But Jian Yunong did care.
She knew she liked Huo Jincheng a bit.
In the past, Jian Yunong truly didn't care whether others knew or not; she concealed her marital status simply to avoid gossip, as it would complicate both her life and work.
However, now her reason for not wanting to tell others was that she felt inadequate.
Liking someone makes one feel inferior, feeling low to the ground. But Jian Yunong did not want to become dust; she wanted to bloom. She wanted to be an excellent person—if not equal to Huo Jincheng, at least better than she was now.
Jian Yunong placed her small hand against his small hand, her voice unconsciously lowering. "I am your wife. I don't want people saying I can't do anything."
Huo Jincheng's eyes softened as he leaned in to kiss her fragrant cheek.
"You can't do anything? You clearly know how to eat," Huo Jincheng said with a teasing tone.
Jian Yunong's tender feelings were completely shattered by his jest.
However, she couldn't get angry; it was the truth, and she didn't feel embarrassed.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
She didn't have a passion for buying designer bags, so what was wrong with this little hobby?
Jian Yunong shot him a glare, her watery eyes sparkling with charm, which made Huo Jincheng's heart flutter as he wanted to kiss his silly wife again.
Jian Yunong turned her face away, avoiding him.
"Promise me first."
Huo Jincheng looked seriously at Jian Yunong. "The third condition is not acceptable. I can only agree to keep our work and personal lives separate in the office."
"Fine." He agreed to at least two of her three conditions, which was a high success rate. "But you can't back out."
Huo Jincheng grabbed her wrist and kissed her first.
Ten minutes later, Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng entered the elevator at the same time.
Jian Yunong felt uneasy. "Can't you take the next elevator?"
He stood beside her, watching her cautious demeanor with curiosity. Jian Yunong used to be like a little hedgehog, always pricking people. Now she seemed scared at work. Huo Jincheng couldn't help but want to tease her.
He raised his hand and placed it on Jian Yunong's shoulder, pulling her soft body closer. This sudden move startled Jian Yunong quite a bit.
"There’s no one else in the elevator," Huo Jincheng said with a playful smile.
Jian Yunong watched the numbers in the elevator change rapidly, her face turning bright red. "Huo Jincheng, stop messing around."
“Hmm?” Huo Jincheng said with a stern face, “What did you call me?”
Jian Yunong could only plead with him pitifully, “Husband. You promised me that in the underground parking lot.”
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Huo Jincheng had no choice but to let go.
“What are you afraid of? If they see it, they see it. You are Mrs. Huo; your life is already different from others.”
Jian Yunong didn’t need to work as hard as others, becoming just a cog in the machine, a small part of a vast organization where no one was irreplaceable; anyone could do this job.
Jian Yunong glared at him angrily, “Fine. If you make it impossible for me to work properly, I won’t sleep with you tonight.”
Huo Jincheng: “…”
At that moment, the elevator opened, and Jian Yunong stepped out first, breaking into a small run. Like a little rabbit, she quickly disappeared from sight.
When Jian Yunong entered, her colleagues were all busy.
The head of the Secretariat glanced at the time and said, “Jian Yunong, why are you only just arriving? What’s your excuse this time?”
I went to have breakfast with the President!
Jian Yunong thought to herself, but in reality, she was too timid to say that and could only lie and make excuses, “I didn’t finish things at home. It won’t happen again! I’m sorry.”
The work in the Secretariat was tedious and required patience and attention to detail. So most of the time, everyone wore serious expressions; there was no laughter. When she put on a stern face again, even her beautiful features looked somewhat intimidating.
“Jian Yunong… if there’s another time, you’ll be leaving this department.”
As soon as those words fell, a tall and elegant figure walked in gracefully.
Huo Jincheng remained expressionless.
“Good morning, President.” Everyone stood up to greet him.
Jian Yunong dared not look at Huo Jincheng, lowering her head to gaze at the sharp corner of the desk, unable to see her expression. The redness spreading from her pointed ears betrayed her inner feelings.
Huo Jincheng frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Jian Yunong quickly glanced at Huo Jincheng, silently urging him not to get involved in this matter!
The people from the Secretariat never expected that the usually busy and indifferent President would suddenly take an interest in this issue.
They reported honestly, "A new colleague, she has taken too many leaves."
"Isn't that under Human Resources? They are responsible for tracking tardiness and absenteeism."
"Yes."
"If it really doesn't work, just follow the process to terminate her."
"Yes."
Huo Jincheng pushed the door into the office and then turned back, "You, the new one, bring me a cup of coffee."
Jian Yunong stood there in a daze.
It was someone beside her who knocked on her desk, "Hurry up and go make coffee in the pantry."
"Oh, oh." Jian Yunong finally snapped out of it and moved.
After taking a few steps, Jian Yunong turned back again.
The person in charge thought she was quick, but then saw Jian Yunong's voice was soft as she asked, "Where is the pantry?"
Someone nearby burst out laughing.
Jian Yunong had already been working for three days and still didn't know such a basic thing.
The person in charge said impatiently, "Turn left, at the end of the corridor."
Twenty minutes later, Jian Yunong entered the president's office with a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Huo, here is the coffee you requested."
Huo Jincheng looked up from behind the computer screen and glanced at her. "Why are you so slow?"
"..." Because she didn't know how to use the coffee machine!
Huo Jincheng took a sip and nearly spat it out.
"Why didn't you add sugar?"
"Ah... I'll go make another cup."
Jian Yunong walked over to take the coffee, but Huo Jincheng pulled her into his arms, causing her to fall directly into his lap.
At that moment, the office door was knocked open.
"Mr. Huo..."
