Chapter 18 The Mysterious President's Wife

Su Chaoxi couldn't react for a moment, "Take the initiative?"

Wen Jingshu was somewhat disappointed, saying, "Mom has been asking around for you. These past few days, Tianyin has indeed been busy. He's been on business trips for several days now, and he hasn't even had proper meals."

Wen Jingshu took Su Chaoxi's hand and said earnestly, "As his wife, isn't it fitting that you show some consideration for your husband and send him a lovingly prepared lunch?"

Wen Jingshu was careful, her words tinged with a hint of probing.

If it had been before, Wen Jingshu wouldn't have dared make such a request.

She was afraid that Su Chaoxi would react just like before, with a scowl and an outburst of anger.

But Su Chaoxi had changed a lot these past few days, and Wen Jingshu still wanted the family to be more harmonious.

Fortunately, Su Chaoxi only seemed somewhat helpless as she said, "Mom, Tianyin might not want to see me."

"How could that be," Wen Jingshu hurriedly said, "It's just that Tianyin is busy. He still cares a lot about this family. Just show a little initiative, just a little, and Tianyin will definitely be very happy."

Happy?

Xie Tianyin?

Su Chaoxi found it hard to associate these two words with this man.

In Su Chaoxi's memory, Xie Tianyin was always aloof and displeased.

Anyway, every time he saw her, he couldn't possibly be happy.

Wen Jingshu knew what Su Chaoxi was thinking and said softly, "Between husband and wife, it takes compromise to make things more prosperous. Mom has already prepared the lunch box. Will you take it to him, please?"

Wen Jingshu's eyes were filled with earnestness.

Su Chaoxi had to nod, "Alright."

Wen Jingshu was overjoyed and immediately stood up, saying, "That's great. I'll go get it for you!"

As if remembering something, she said, "Right, Mom saw a dress while shopping yesterday. It was so pretty, I bought it for you on the spot. Go change into it!"

Wen Jingshu handed Su Chaoxi a paper bag and urged, "Hurry, go change."

Su Chaoxi was still a bit stunned as she received the clothes.

It seemed Wen Jingshu had been prepared for this.

With a resigned sigh, Su Chaoxi didn't want to let the elder down and quickly changed into the dress.

Dressed in the new outfit, even Su Chaoxi was amazed by herself.

The halter-necked, fiery red dress perfectly revealed her lovely shoulders, and her snowy jade-like skin was particularly eye-catching.

The moment she walked out, Wen Jingshu's face lit up with astonishment, and she praised without reserve, "You look so beautiful, absolutely stunning!"

Su Chaoxi felt a bit uncomfortable, "Isn't this too red..."

"It has to be bright and prosperous! That's the aura of the rightful wife!" Wen Jingshu smiled contentedly, "Our Chaoxi is truly gorgeous! Come, let me do your makeup!"

It was an offer she could not refuse.

Su Chaoxi had to sit down,

Wen Jingshu usually kept a low profile, but her makeup skills were surprisingly good!

The makeup Su Chaoxi wore was dazzling, yet clearly that of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Her eyes were gentle, her cheeks flushed.

It was indeed the aesthetic of the older generation.

And so, Su Chaoxi was pushed out the door.

Su Chaoxi had no choice but to steel herself for it.

She hoped Xie Tianyin wouldn't throw her out.

As soon as Su Chaoxi arrived at the Xie Group's branch office, she overheard the gossip of the junior staff, "Did you see it? Aaah, Min Xuexue really looks like a match for our CEO!"

"Yeah, Min Xuexue came again today. Could it be true like the reports say, maybe good news is close at hand?"

"If it were true, that would be great, but it's a pity that the CEO is already married."

"How can you be sure that the CEO's wife isn't Min Xuexue?"

...

Listening to these conversations, Su Chaoxi belatedly remembered the person Min Xuexue.

In her past life, Xie Tianyin had been betrayed by a joint scheme from Su Chaoxi and Xie Tianchen, losing his position as president of the subsidiary.

Min Xuexue, as the spokesperson for Xie Group, had not hesitated to follow Xie Tianyin and became the spokesperson for his new company.

After that, rumors of Xie Tianyin's affair with Min Xuexue were rampant, and Min Xuexue quickly rose to the top ranks, always supported by Xie Tianyin behind the scenes.

Many speculated that Min Xuexue was Xie Tianyin's mysterious wife.

After Xie Tianyin's death, Min Xuexue wore white for him and was said to have fainted several times from crying too hard.

Hearing Min Xuexue's name again, Su Chaoxi clenched the bag in her hand.

"Hello," someone finally noticed Su Chaoxi, "may I ask, who are you looking for?"

Su Chaoxi was about to answer, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure.

It was Xie Tianyin's assistant, Bai Hongyu.

Su Chaoxi's eyes lightly brightened, and she called out, "Assistant Bai."

Bai Hongyu didn't stop walking, but glanced over sideways.

Upon seeing Su Chaoxi, his eyes couldn't hide his surprise, "How come you are here?"

This was a rare visitor indeed!

Bai Hongyu was no stranger to Su Chaoxi, but his impression of her had always lingered as the crafty wife of Xie Tianyin.

Now seeing her all of a sudden, and seeing how nicely she was dressed, Bai Hongyu felt oddly flustered.

Could she have heard something and specifically come to make trouble?

Su Chaoxi picked up on Bai Hongyu's wariness and smiled, "I'm here to deliver something to Xie Tianyin, is he in?"

The front desk girl was secretly shocked.

She dared to call the president's full name so directly?

"He's in but..." Bai Hongyu furrowed his brow slightly, glanced at the bag in her hand, "perhaps I could pass it on for you?"

Challenging him, Su Chaoxi asked, "Is he not available to see anyone right now? Is he meeting with someone?"

Bai Hongyu got choked up.

Well.

How could it not be the case?

Su Chaoxi's half-smile suggested, "If it's really inconvenient, then I won't bother him."

As she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Bai Hongyu quickly caught up to her and said, "No, no, please wait, I'll make a call."

Seeing this, the girl at the front desk quickly invited Su Chaoxi to sit down.

Su Chaoxi was well aware that Xie Tianyin was probably with Min Xuexue.

If it had been before, perhaps Su Chaoxi, after delivering the items, would have politely left.

But now, everything had long been different.

She didn't want to hand Xie Tianyin over to someone else and then find herself in the same situation as Wen Jingshu, with her child also despised by the father's family.

Even if she had no feelings for Xie Tianyin.

Children are always innocent, after all.

After asking Xie Tianyin, Bai Hongyu finally escorted Su Chaoxi to the president's private VIP elevator.

Bai Hongyu smiled, "You can go straight up, I have something else to tend to, I'll take my leave."

"Okay, you go ahead, thank you for your trouble."

Bai Hongyu was even more astounded by Su Chaoxi's polite platitudes.

He couldn't help but take another look at her.

Not only did this woman not erupt in anger when she came today, but she also seemed polite and courteous; could she have changed her temper?

Su Chaoxi didn't pay attention to his gaze and quickly reached the top floor.

She had just gotten upstairs when she heard a woman's coquettish laughter.

It was a sweet and lively voice, Min Xuexue's.

Su Chaoxi lightened her footstep and approached, the president's office door was ajar.

Through the crack of the door, Su Chaoxi could see Min Xuexue leaning over the desk, affectionately calling out, "Tianyin, try the egg rolls I made, ah~~"

Su Chaoxi scowled.

What kind of relationship was this, she was even feeding him?!

She stepped forward and kicked the president's office door open.

'Bang'

The door struck the wall with a sound as if it had violently separated two clinging people.

Min Xuexue was so startled that she jumped up, spilling the food box all over the floor.

At the same time, Su Chaoxi distinctly saw a flicker of pleasure cross Xie Tianyin's eyes.
