Strategic Marriage

Chapter - 55

Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo were having breakfast when Zhan brought up the matter of last night.

"What happened to you last night?" Zhan asked.

"Grandpa scolded me that's why I was upset." Yibo lied.

"Why did Grandpa Wang scold you?" Zhan asked.

"That. I can't tell you. It's a confidential matter of our company." Yibo said and Zhan nodded his head.

"Next time, if you want to go for a drink, inform me. I can accompany you." Zhan said.

"Are you that free?" Yibo asked while raising his eyebrow.

"I can make time. If I can't I will at least know where you are so that I don't have to worry about it." Zhan said and Yibo nodded his head.

Then they went back to eat silently. After a while, Yibo sighed and Zhan stared at Yibo.

"Sometime I want to quit." Yibo mumbled while thinking about the mental stress he had to go through in the office.

"Then quit." Zhan said and Yibo stared at him.

"What did you say?" Yibo asked while tilting his head.

"If you want to quit working then you can quit. I think I can support both of us. You just stayed at home or enjoy your life. It's yours choice." Zhan said and Yibo laughed.

"Are you telling me to be a house husband?" Yibo asked while raising his eyebrow.

"I said it's your choice. You can do whatever you want." Zhan said and Yibo nodded his head.

"Well, your offer is temptating but I have to reject it. I have worked so hard to reach where I am today. I don't want to quit now and give the opportunity to the vultures who are eyeing my position. No, I won't. I am not that kind." Yibo said.

"Then do whatever you want to do. I will always support you." Zhan said.

Hearing Zhan's words, Yibo was touched. He kept quiet for a while and then nodded his head. After that, they finished their breakfast in silence.

Zhan and Yibo came to a jewellery shop to buy a gift for the anniversary of Xiao Xiang an Xiao Xin. They were chosing gifts when they heard the sound of a child crying.

Zhan turned around to see Chen Ling who was holding a child in her arms and coaxing the child. Yibo followed Zhan's gaze and his mood became sour.

"Sorry to disturb you." Ling apologized when the child stopped crying.

Suddenly, Ling's eyes met Zhan's. She was stunned but smiled and approached Zhan.

"Long time no see, Zhan." Ling said with a smile.

"Long time no see." Zhan said as he stood up and Yibo stood beside him.

"How are you doing?" Ling asked.

"We are doing well. What about you?" Zhan said.

"I am also doing well." Ling said and glanced at Zhan.

"Are you happy, Zhan?" Ling asked.

"Why wouldn't I be happy? I am very happy." Zhan said without any hesitation.

"Then it's good." Ling said and smiled.

"What about you, Ms. Chen? No, not Ms. Chen. I should call you Mrs. Zhang. Are you happy?" Yibo asked while raising his eyebrow.
