“Your sister-in-law is shy and easily frightened, so you have to lower your volume.”
The lady in question felt a little awkward when she heard his declaration. Feeling a little annoyed, she shoved him unconsciously and denied it. “You’re the one who’s easily scared.”
Was she really this useless? Even if she were easily thrown off, was there a need for him to make it public? It was made worse by the fact that he’d said it in front of so many people…
“Yes, I’m shy and easy to scare,” the man retorted meekly.
The evil chuckling sound behind them made the woman blush in embarrassment.
The crowd was swarming toward the grand hall as everyone shoved and pushed their way through.
“Baby Ruo, don’t restrain yourself. Act natural.” He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
“…”
“How do you do, sister-in-law?” The roar of a greeting came from the hall. Another batch of followers had been waiting inside.
A red carpet was lying on the grass patch outside the building, leading all the way into the hall.
“I’m well. I hope you are all well too.”
“Wow! Sister-in-law is so pretty.”
“He he… Her voice is sweet and melodious!”
“Ha ha! Our boss finally has a wife!”
The woman’s mouth twitched. His men seemed to be extremely pleased with him for getting married at last. Judging from the way they expressed their wonder, it seemed that getting this man a wife had been a tough feat.
Inside the spacious hall stood rows and rows of men and women, although there were more men than women. In fact, the ladies were so few that they could be counted on ten fingers.
They were wearing uniform tailored suits, and the sight of them waiting for her inside the grand room was impressive. Every single one of them was eyeing her with wide, sparkling eyes. Bliss and contentment were apparent in their gazes.
In the meantime, someone was seen squeezing through the crowd to reach the front. “Boss, share your secret with us! How did you manage to capture the heart of a beautiful girl like our sister-in-law? Most of us here are still single so you mustn’t leave us behind.”
“Tsk, tsk! Our boss communicates via telepathy with our sister-in-law. There’s no need for courtship here.” Xu Xu objected with a wave of his arm.
“Yes, we are connected by telepathy.” The man agreed with a faint smile. He liked the sound of it!
“Yo! That’s good to know!”
“Ha ha ha! Since our Chief has admitted that, why doesn’t he demonstrate what it means to communicate via telepathy with her?” someone suggested.
“Good idea!”
Xu Xu grinned. “How do we do that?”
Suddenly, a few women emerged from the horde with a set of clothing in their hands. “If our chief can find his wife, this will prove that they share a connection.”
“Yup! Get our sister-in-law to change into the same uniform as us and let’s get him to identify her while she is in our midst. He will have to do 300 push-ups if he fails.”
“Hey! There’s nothing special about this game,” Xu Xu said in disdain.
“Well, our boss has claimed that they are connected by telepathy.”
“I actually find this a great idea. If we up the punishment to 500 push-ups, it will be even better.” Wang Yiyang chipped in with a sneaky laugh.
In the past, their chief had made them endure horrible training with endless push-ups. Now that his wife was around, they could openly retaliate without fear!
“What do you think, Boss?”
Mo Jiangye asked his wife with a tilt of his head, “Are you game?”
Everyone looked at Ye Erruo in anticipation.
“Are you up to doing 500 push-ups?”
The expression on his face sank immediately. “Are you saying that I can’t find you?”
“Then let’s play,” she replied with a smile. If they were hell-bent on not wanting him to find her, then…
The few girls pulled the lady over to their side in an instant. “Let’s get ready, sister-in-law!”
The man could only watch his lady get taken away from him without a word. He knew what was on their minds! How could he possibly miss her in the crowd? Well, they could wait to defeat him in their next lives!
Somewhere not far away, a group of them had already gathered in a corner, getting busy planning their evil plot. Suppressed bursts of snides and gleeful laughter could be heard occasionally, and then a few of them surreptitiously brought out a long mat from the back.
