Little Wife's Diary: My Husband is My Boss!
Chapter 230: Panic And Unease

Chapter 230: Panic And Unease

After lying on the bed for a while, Feng Zhexuan knew he had to get back to work. He slid his arm out from under her head gently, placing a pillow in its place. He kissed her forehead and left the bed without waking her up.

When he stepped out of the bedroom, he found Wei Zheming reading documents on the couch.

Wei Zheming looked up and asked, "Do you need someone to clean up the bedroom?"

Feng Zhexuan shot him a glance and said, "I was just napping. My wife is still asleep, keep your voice down."

"Oh, I thought you were busy doing something with your wife when you didn’t come out for the meeting," Wei Zheming teased.

Ignoring the remark, Feng Zhexuan asked him instead, "Is everyone waiting for me?"

"I told them there was an emergency and delayed the meeting for an hour. We have 27 minutes left," Wei Zheming replied while checking his watch.

"Good. Notify everyone to start the meeting in ten minutes," Feng Zhexuan said as he put on his tie, belt and suit jacket.

With him feeling refreshed, his work’s efficiency increased drastically. The delayed meeting ended an hour earlier than usual with a good result.

While he worked, the news of the president’s wife napping in his office spread throughout the building. It wasn’t long before everyone knew the president was a devoted husband who loved his wife to the core.

This prompted many Feng Group employees to become their CP’s fans and flood Yan Lingling’s article with support for their Madam, defending her fiercely and calling the article false information.

Overwhelmed by the backlash, Yan Lingling’s post was taken down and her alt account was banned by the platform. Not only that, she also received a letter from the Feng Group’s legal team. They were suing her for defamation and spreading rumors.

In a rage, she smashed her laptop and screamed, "Yan Yuling, you bitch!"

Just then, Lin Hao entered the room with a grim look. He looked around and saw the messy room with scattered glass fragments. At this moment, he saw that his wife resembled an enraged shrew with her disheveled hair.

Disgust flickered in his eyes as he realized how far her image had fallen from the goddess he once revered. He strode over, grabbed her arm, and said angrily, "Yan Lingling, have you had enough?!"

Already feeling angry, Yan Lingling swung her arm when she heard her husband’s words, trying to free herself from his grab. She glared at him while shouting, "Lin Hao, let me go! What do you think you are doing?!"

Seeing her still acting like a crazed woman, Lin Hao held both her shoulders and shouted, "Yan Lingling, enough!"

Startled by his outburst, Yan Lingling froze as she looked at him with wide eyes and said in disbelief, "You shouted at me—you actually shouted at me?!"

"Lingling, didn’t I warn you not to go against Yan Yuling? Why did you post that article?" Lin Hao asked through gritted teeth.

Hearing his words, Yan Lingling averted her gaze with guilt and said, "I don’t know what you are talking about."

Now that she had calmed down, Lin Hao released her shoulders and said, "Do you think no one knows you posted that article about your sister? Because of your actions, the Lin Group lost several major projects today."

The moment she heard this, Yan Lingling clutched her husband’s hand and asked, "Ah Hao, what do you mean? Why did the Lin Group suddenly lose major projects? Wasn’t everything going well?"

Feeling tired, Lin Hao sat on the bed and rubbed his forehead. He looked at his wife and felt that he might have made the wrong decision by marrying her.

"It’s because companies under the Feng Group intervened before we could close the deals. Their offers were much better than what the Lin Group could provide, so they secured the projects."

Yan Lingling was stunned by his words. She sat on the bed and muttered in a daze, "Why did they suddenly intervene? Those projects are just minor to them."

Lin Hao looked at his wife and said with a sigh, "Isn’t it because of your post? The legal team from the Feng Group came by this afternoon due to it. We need to pay 50 million yuan as compensation or face a defamation lawsuit for spreading false rumors."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingling stared at him and asked, "Why did you pay them? I didn’t lie. Yan Yuling did marry another man."

Lin Hao frowned and said, "We can’t afford a lawsuit right now. Our stocks are already unstable, being involved in this would make it difficult to save the company. We couldn’t lose our reputation or the Lin Group will be finished."

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Lingling, have you ever considered the possibility that Feng Zhexuan is actually your sister’s husband?"

As soon as he said this, Yan Lingling stood up and refuted, "Impossible!"

Seeing her agitation, Lin Hao’s expression darkened. He had noticed how his wife always paid attention to Feng Zhexuan. Before, he hadn’t given it much thought since no one had seen Feng Zhexuan’s face, and the rumors about his good looks could have been false. But today, after seeing his photo, he felt panicked.

Such a person was so close to them. So, it made sense that his wife would be angry and jealous of her sister. After all, without her, Yan Yuling wouldn’t have met Feng Zhexuan, let alone married him. Despite understanding his wife’s motives, Lin Hao still felt jealousy and unease.

No man would be pleased to know his wife desired another man, especially when her actions endangered her own husband’s standing. Lin Hao stared at his wife coldly and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Yan Lingling, oblivious to his mood, continued, "She doesn’t deserve to be Feng Zhexuan’s wife. She’s just a bastard. Why should she live better than me?"
