Chapter 11 Her Husband

• Ruan Cheng went upstairs.
• In the room, the housekeeper was cleaning.
• She nodded to the housekeeper politely and went to the closet. She got herself a set of clothes that was ironed yesterday and went to the bathroom to get changed.
• The housekeeper was cleaning speedily.
• There were hardly any traces left by Mu Chenjue in the room after Ruan Cheng finished washing up.
• She was relieved.
• Ten minutes ago, Li Ye sent a message to her: Cheng, we have finished our project discussion. I'll go to H City to look for you at your hotel this afternoon, and we can have a day off tomorrow.
• Ruan Cheng replied to his message: Sure. I'll send you the hotel address.
• She didn't know why she felt guilty when she looked at the room where Mu Chenjue had slept all night.
• Ruan Cheng furrowed her eyebrows as she drifted away in thoughts.
• “It's all cleaned up.” Said the housekeeper with a smile. She stood by the door with a garbage bag in her hand.
• Ruan Cheng quickly came back to her senses and said, “Thank you. I appreciate your hard work.”
• The housekeeper informed her, “I have put that underwear in the cabinet's little compartment.”
• “Underwear?” Ruan Cheng was confused.
• She didn't remember throwing away her underwear...
• “It is a man's underwear. Is it your husband's? I found it in the laundry basket in the bathroom!” said the housekeeper with a smile before she turned and walked away.
• Ruan Cheng was shocked.
• Men's underwear... Her husband...
• She opened the closet again and squatted down to look for it.
• Indeed, under the cabinet, she found a pair of men's underwear.
• Suddenly, Ruan Cheng's face turned red. She took a few slow breaths and pursed her lips. She felt as if her head was burning because she did not know how to deal with this underwear.
• It's not like I can give it back.
• Forget it. Just throw it away.
• Boss wouldn't care if he had lost a pair of underpants.
• Ruan Cheng felt herself getting hot when she picked up the underwear. At the same time, she thought of the remark from her friend, who was the designer for the brand of the underwear.
• She once teased Ruan Cheng and said, “The underwear of this brand was designed so that it stays close to the skin. The dark color especially highlights the masculinity of men and reflects their mature and assertive character. If you meet a man wearing this brand, just grab him!”
• Ruan Cheng shook her head at the thought.
• Right at that moment, her mobile phone rang.
• Zhou Xiaosu was calling her.
• Ruan Cheng quickly threw away her boss's underwear and answered the call.
• “Zhou,” she answered.
• “Cheng, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, please go now. After breakfast, we'll meet downstairs at ten o'clock. There's a meeting I want you to go with me.”
• “All right. I'll see you downstairs at ten o'clock.” Said Ruan Cheng. She was worried if her task today was to take care of children again.
• Although she liked Ruanruan and Anan, she came here to work after all, not to be a servant.
• Since T group paid her salary, she hoped that she could contribute to the company and develop her skills further.
• This is what father had hoped for.
• When Ruan Cheng thought about his father, her facial expression suddenly became dim.
• Li Huizhen was a beautiful woman. She was nearly 50 years old but still elegant. One could not imagine how beautiful Li Huizhen was when she was young.
• Father really loved this woman from his second marriage, and he was very devoted to Li Huizhen.
• Ruan Cheng was a little confused. From her childhood memories, she remembered that her father was deeply in love with her mother too. If not, her father would not drink all day long to numb his pain for eight years when her mother left.
• Her father, who suffered the loss of his wife, also lost his reason to live.
• ....
• At 10 a.m., Ruan Cheng went downstairs.
• “Get in the car.” Zhou Xiaosu motioned to Ruan Cheng.
• In this line of work, they did not need to dress up fancifully for work.
• Ruan Cheng dressed up like Zhou Xiaosu. They wore a formal suit with a plain shirt top paired with a hip skirt. Their outfits showed off their distinctive figure as a woman.
• They hired two cars to go for the meeting this time.
• Zhou Xiaosu and Ruan Cheng were in the front car, while Mu Chenjue and Li Tao were sitting in the luxury car which followed behind.
• “Mr. Dong is not coming with us?” Ruan Cheng asked as she was not familiar with her work yet, so she would ask questions whenever she had the opportunity. “Zhou, what do I need to do when I get there?”
• “Mr. Dong is taking the boss's children to the Ferris wheel.” Zhou Xiaosu explained to Ruan Cheng. “When you get to the place, you don't have to do anything. Listen carefully and pay attention to every detail. At this stage, it's more important to gather some more practical experience.”
• “Alright.” Ruan Cheng nodded.
• When they arrived at Mingmen Hotel, all the waiters were ready to serve, and the meeting room was located on the 99th floor.
• This was the first time Ruan Cheng attended a business conference. The scene of two successful businessmen shaking their hands professionally as a deal was nailed could indeed capture the attention from the ladies around.
• Mu Chenjue was like a completely different person when he was at the negotiation table.
• This man could handle any problem with ease. Even when he was faced with someone whose status was higher, he was able to maintain his composure and carried himself in a stellar manner.
• Ruan Cheng didn't dare to daze off and listened carefully.
• Director Xiao, who was sitting next to Mu Chenjue, looked at him with a smile on his face. He said, “My little girl insisted on coming with me today. She demanded that I persuade you to bring her to A City for a short trip. If not, she won't address me as her father anymore. Chenjue, tell me if I have spoiled my daughter?”
• Ruan Cheng, just like the other inconspicuous people in the room, did not dare to show any expression.
• Even a fool would know that they were talking about private matters.
• ....
• It was around half past one in the afternoon when they left Mingmen Hotel.
• Ruan Cheng carried a laptop and went into the car. Zhou Xiaosu followed from behind.
• In front of the hotel, Director Xiao and his daughter were shaking hands with Mu Chenjue as they bid goodbye.
• “Did you see that? I think Director Xiao wants to marry his daughter into the Mu family.” Zhou Xiaosu said with a smirk.
• Ruan Cheng didn't know how to respond, so she answered ambiguously, “If they got married, who would get the upper hand? It's hard to say, right?”
• Zhou Xiaosu chatted casually with Ruan Cheng. “I think it's Director Xiao and his daughter's wishful thinking for now as nobody could figure out what Mr. Mu is thinking. In my opinion, Mr. Mu would never marry a woman he doesn't love, so even if she is the daughter of the Jade Emperor...”
• Indeed, that should be it.
• Ruan Cheng raised her head and took a look at Director Xiao's daughter as she thought to herself,
• If the boss is marrying her, then she will be Ruanruan and Anan's new mother.
