Why can't you just say what you want directly?
Do you have to torture yourself and your boyfriend at the same time?
"Since you insist on going, if this CEO refuses, it seems heartless, so alright, I'll reluctantly agree to let you go." Lin Xi held a milk cup with an indifferent expression.
Su Chen was instantly covered with black lines.
When did he insist on going?
But at this time, he naturally couldn't deliberately poke through Lin Xi.
"But, you can't go as my husband." Lin Xi said after taking a sip of milk.
"Do you know who I'm meeting today? They're my high school classmates, all of whom went abroad to study after graduating, all educated people..."
Lin Xi didn't finish her sentence.
But Su Chen understood.
Disgusted by his lack of education?
"Cough cough, boss, you seem to have forgotten that I graduated from Mashen University of Technology." Su Chen said, discontented.
Su Chen initially felt confident.
But listening to Lin Xi's 'hehe', he suddenly felt less sure.
He indeed had a diploma from the Mashen University of Technology.
Too bad he never actually attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"What was your major? What's your advisor's name, how many professors were there at your thesis defense?" Lin Xi shot out several questions.
"I..." Su Chen's forehead started sweating.
"Hmph, that day after coming back from the villa rented by He Tianqi, I specifically asked a friend abroad to investigate—you never existed in Massachusetts Institute of Technology!" Lin Xi huffed.
Su Chen was convinced.
"However, the fact that you managed to get a diploma from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and even got acknowledged by the president, that's quite something." Lin Xi's tone softened slightly.
"Look, I was mainly worried that you'd play your role too big, and it would be hard to wrap up later, especially since most of my classmates are abroad, including some from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It'd be so embarrassing if you were exposed."
"Alright... you're right." Su Chen's face twitched.
"Plus, I was one of the top goddesses in school; imagine if they found out I got a husband...like that, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?" Lin Xi batted her large eyes.
"Fine, can I just say I'm your bodyguard?" Su Chen said with a dark face.
"Mm, that's what I thought too. Do well, bodyguard, I won't treat you poorly." Lin Xi walked over to Su Chen and patted his shoulder.
Then she sashayed upstairs.
Half an hour later, Su Chen and Lin Xi left the house together.
But Su Chen received a phone call.
His expression suddenly looked troubled.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi frowned.
"Well, honey, your subordinate told me to rush to the office immediately or I'll be fired!" Su Chen whispered to Lin Xi while covering the mouthpiece.
The call was from Qin Keren.
Su Chen was already often late, left early, or even skipped work.
Ever since he found out his wife was the big BOSS of the company, he doubled down on those habits.
"Su, let me tell you, if you don't come to the office today, hmph, even the president can't save you!" Qin Keren's voice came from the phone.
"Director Qin, I need Su Chen today, so he won't be going to the office." Lin Xi took the phone from Su Chen's hand.
"Who are you... ah, President, hello!" Qin Keren suddenly realized.
"Mm, any problem?" Lin Xi asked indifferently.
"No, since the president has personally given him leave, of course, there's no problem." Qin Keren replied respectfully.
"When did I say I was giving him leave?" Lin Xi said.
"Just mark him absent."
"What? You don't want to go to work and still want a salary?" After hanging up, Lin Xi looked arrogantly at Su Chen.
"You decide..." Su Chen was covered in black lines.
It seems having a domineering CEO as a wife isn't all that great.
"Um, honey, you're using my phone." Su Chen pointed to the phone in Lin Xi's hand.
Lin Xi paused slightly.
Yeah, she had forgotten about that.
Doesn't that mean she's telling Qin Keren that she's currently with Su Chen?
The time is just past seven in the morning, not yet eight...
It's not hard for people to imagine that Su Chen and Lin Xi were together the previous night.
"So what? I can just say that I bumped into you at the company gate and asked you to do some errands for me!" Lin Xi declared assertively.
At ten past eight, Su Chen and Lin Xi finally set off.
He had thought they would drive, but unexpectedly, Lin Xi opted to take public transport.
"Honey, are you being low-key because you want to show off?" Su Chen couldn't help but think so from Lin Xi's actions.
She's a big CEO with a Maserati, yet she chooses to ride the bus...
If that's not showing off, what is?
"Show off my foot, my car is restricted today!" Lin Xi said irritably.
"Wow, do we also have car restrictions in Jiangdu City?" Su Chen scratched his head and said, "Then we could just take a taxi."
Lin Xi gave Su Chen a look and huffed, "And how can we show off if we take a taxi?"
Su Chen was utterly speechless.
After all, it was for showing off.
"Anyway, just don't treat me as a CEO right now, treat me as a poor person."
Actually, Lin Xi wasn't really trying to show off.
She just didn't want to be too high-profile.
It was just a casual meeting with classmates, to have a meal and chat.
Identity wasn't important.
"Honey, if that's the case, I feel like I can't be your bodyguard anymore." Su Chen suddenly said seriously.
"Why?" Lin Xi looked at Su Chen, a bit puzzled.
"A poor person like you doesn't deserve a bodyguard!"
Lin Xi had never ridden the bus.
If she had, she would definitely regret her decision now.
Now, during peak work hours, the bus was packed with people.
Lin Xi really felt like crying.
She felt like she was being squeezed flat.
And there was a high risk of being taken advantage of.
In such situations, even if you are taken advantage of, you can't find who did it.
So, on the bus, it's quite common to encounter gropers.
With so many people, it's impossible to know who it could be.
Naturally, Su Chen couldn't let this happen and directly shielded Lin Xi in his arms, pressing her against the bus wall.
