He really dotes on me so much

Chapter 68: Jiang's Cunning Tricks

The little irritable kitten, Gu Nuan Nuan, was both happy that her husband had no exes and angry that he seemed to look down on her. Consequently, Jiang Chen Yu, driving the car, got scratched several times by his wife's little claws.

Upon reaching the company, Jiang Chen Yu held his wife's hand as they took the executive elevator to the top floor.

"I heard I'm going to be a 'dad' again," he teased.

Gu Nuan Nuan, recalling her lie from Saturday, felt guilty.

"This time, is it a daughter or a son?" he continued.

"It's just anger," she snapped.

Jiang Chen Yu's eyes twinkled as he looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Not bad, I can even plant 'anger' in your belly."

As they exited the elevator, the employees in the executive office all turned their eyes towards them. Seeing their gazes, Gu Nuan Nuan felt a surge of panic, remembering Jiang Chen Yu's words from the elevator.

Could it be... that everyone really believed she was pregnant?

She clutched her husband's hand tighter and hid behind him, whispering, "Husband, does everyone know?"

"Yes, they all know."

Gu Nuan Nuan was on the verge of tears. She hadn't expected her casual lie to spread so quickly. "What do I do? There's nothing in my belly!"

Jiang Chen Yu felt a sense of satisfaction at being needed by his little wife. "Tell them that once the anger is out, there's nothing left in the belly."

"How am I supposed to explain that? Husband, help me~" she pleaded, resorting to soft coaxing when faced with an unsolvable problem.

Jiang Chen Yu smiled and led her into his office. Outside, the employees resumed their work, pretending nothing had happened.

In the office, Gu Nuan Nuan continued to fret. "Husband, should I just go explain and tell them the truth?"

"They won't believe you."

She grabbed the documents from his hand to prevent him from working. "Then I'll tell them I was lying."

"That won't work," he said, opening another document.

She closed the document again, making him look into her anxious eyes. "This rumor spreading isn't good for anyone."

"I can clean up your mess, but you have to promise to let me sleep in the bedroom tonight."

"Deal, I promise."

Her agreement came so quickly that it was obvious she hadn't fully processed it before speaking. Jiang Chen Yu, triumphant, got up and left the office.

He went to the break room to choose a drink for his wife. Secretary Luo entered, asking, "President, did you manage to appease your wife so quickly?"

President Jiang: If coaxing doesn't work, use cunning.

His strategy had begun in the elevator. By mentioning he was going to be a dad, he planted a seed of guilt in her. Once she saw everyone's attention, her panic would drive her to want to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible, playing right into his hands. There was no way he'd sleep in the study.

"Other than peach, which flavor is good?" he asked.

Secretary Luo handed him a bottle of apple soda. "How about a refreshing drink for Madam?"

"Pick another one," he instructed, fearing a clear-headed drink would unravel his plans.

She then chose a grapefruit drink, which Jiang Chen Yu accepted. He returned to the office with the drinks.
