My gorgeous wife

Chapter 336: Chapter 313: What, your mom is asking me to come over for dinner again?

The next day, as a stream of sunlight poured in, Li Chen turned over and continued to sleep, but suddenly, he felt a chill on his body, and cracking his eyes open slightly, he found that his quilt had been flung aside.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Li Chen said, somewhat exasperated. Why did this sister-in-law have to come every morning to throw off his quilt?

"Brother-in-law, the sun’s already shining on your butt. Are you still sleeping?" Lin Xiaoxiao complained.

Damn, if it weren’t for you wanting to sleep with my beautiful wife last night, I would’ve been up by now.

Li Chen was angry. It was precisely because he hadn’t been able to vent his energy that he found himself tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, which in turn made it hard for him to get up in the morning—it was a vicious cycle.

And isn’t that Xiaoxiao’s fault?

"Brother-in-law, I’m going to class now."

Lin Xiaoxiao turned and left, her back carrying a bag. Before long, Li Chen heard the roaring sound of the sports car.

For Xiaoxiao, who had a sports car, getting to and from school was very convenient.

Li Chen got out of bed and went downstairs, only to discover that Lin Yi was already sitting on the sofa.

"Honey, you’re up," Lin Yi said, smiling at the sight of Li Chen, who brightened at the sight of her.

Today, Lin Yi was dressed in her work attire: a short skirt with black tights, and her slightly made-up face exuded a sense of mature allure, making her look like a fully bloomed rose.

Damn, this gorgeous wife of mine is just too enchanting—she gets more beautiful every day. When I first met her, she was mature but still had a hint of greenness and wasn’t as bewitching. These days, she’s become more and more charming, just like a sprite.

But I like it.

Li Chen chuckled inwardly. This was his wife, after all.

As soon as Lin Yi got closer, Li Chen embraced her without hesitation.

They remained embraced for a long time before parting, with Lin Yi’s face tinged red, she said, "I still have to work today."

"I’ll come with you," Li Chen said.

Li Chen took the breakfast from the table and got into the BMW with Lin Yi.

The BMW headed towards Lin’s Group, arriving at the company after not too long.

Walking into the lobby, employees they encountered all greeted Lin Yi.

"Good morning, President Lin!"

"President Lin, good morning."

The employees greeted her, and Lin Yi nodded with a smile in response.

Li Chen observed that the number of employees in the company had not changed from before. The company had been on the brink of dissolution, but after Lin Yi’s phone call, the employees had all returned.

Actually, Lin Yi had great credibility in the company, and the employees admired her—it wasn’t easy for a woman to be president.

Moreover, Lin Yi had offered to pay the full salary for the past ten days, which made the employees return without hesitation. Although some employees had left, the key positions were still filled.

After splitting up with Lin Yi, Li Chen went to the Fragrance Laboratory, where he found Wang Lei and others already present.

"Wow, Mr. Cheen, we haven’t seen you for a long time."

"Mr. Cheen, hello."

"Good morning, Mr. Cheen."

Everyone greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Cheen, you look radiant. Recently, you must have had some good news."

They chatted away, and Li Chen responded to each person.

"Mr. Cheen, the company was talking about disbanding a few days ago, and then yesterday they said work would continue as normal. Do you know what’s going on?" an employee’s curiosity was burning. They thought Li Chen was extraordinary and might know something.

Why extraordinary? After all, someone who didn’t need to swipe a card to come to work and whose absence for a few days caused no issues must be extraordinary, and there were rumors that Mr. Cheen was close to President Lin.

The rest of the employees were all ears, but Li Chen chuckled, "Little Zhao, how would I know? I guess President Lin just couldn’t part with the company."

The employees wanted to keep asking, but at that moment, Wang Lei walked in. As soon as they saw Wang Lei, they all dove back into work without hesitation as if seeing the King of Hell!

Their earnest appearances and exceptionally quick hands amazed Li Chen—he could swear the computer screen had a game on it just moments ago, but in 0.001 seconds, it had switched to a PPT page?

Wang Lei first smiled and nodded at Li Chen before glancing over at everyone and said indifferently, "Don’t slack off, you should live up to the salaries you’re earning."

Seeing Wang Lei enter his office, everyone stuck out their tongues.

Li Chen also casually took his seat, and at this moment, another girl hurried into the laboratory. Li Chen looked up and saw that it was Wang Qianqian.

Wang Qianqian was still a bit out of breath, but as usual, she was dressed very beautifully today.

All the male colleagues couldn’t help but sneak extra glances at her, once, twice, thrice—after all, Wang Qianqian was the flower of their laboratory.

When Wang Qianqian saw Li Chen making faces at her from his seat, she couldn’t help but smile. However, she then walked to her own seat, which was right next to Li Chen’s.

"Qianqian, looking good as usual today?" Li Chen whispered in her ear.

"Brother Cheen," Wang Qianqian whispered back.

Wang Qianqian’s face turned incredibly red from Li Chen’s light teasing, her heart pounding rapidly.

"Qianqian, don’t be shy, I have time today," Li Chen said with a chuckle. Wang Qianqian looked up and caught his teasing expression, and felt embarrassed enough to bow her head again.

"Back to work, back to work." Just then, Wang Lei came out and clapped his hands, "Alright, you’ve all read the materials for the new fragrance we gave you last time, so stop dawdling and start working. We’ve already wasted so many days. If we don’t speed up the R&D process, I’m afraid our competitors will catch up."

The employees were all ready to start blending fragrances, and Wang Lei saw Li Chen and Wang Qianqian, smiling slightly before walking over, "Mr. Cheen, may I borrow Qianqian for a moment?"

Wang Qianqian was about to stand up when she heard Wang Lei say this. Her face instantly turned red. Borrow? Did that imply she belonged to Li Chen?

It seemed the entire laboratory knew.

Wang Qianqian hummed softly with her head down, her face as red as a ripe apple. Li Chen waved magnanimously, "Sure, but you have to return her."

The other employees’ ears had perked up, listening in on the conversation, the implications of which were clear. They had long wanted to dig into the gossip about Mr. Cheen’s team!

And given Li Chen was rumored to be close with President Lin, they were especially curious. Li Chen’s words undoubtedly affirmed that Wang Qianqian was his girl.

Wang Lei gave a wry smile and then said, "Mr. Cheen, I also need to borrow you for a moment. As you know, the company has been stalled for so long. If we don’t accelerate our pace here, we won’t be able to develop the new fragrance properly, so I need your help."

"No problem, I’m free anyway," Li Chen laughed.

So, Li Chen and Wang Qianqian started to get busy, spending the whole morning assisting with fragrances.

Soon, it was noon, and Li Chen had finished his work. Then his phone in his pocket started ringing, drawing sideways glances from everyone at the sound.

"You are my little, oh little apple, how can I not love you too much..."

A "Little Apple" tune started playing, causing the employees to pause. Huh? Wasn’t Mr. Cheen’s previous ringtone "The Vast Sky is My Love"? Had he changed it?

Li Chen pressed the answer button and stepped out of the laboratory.

"Teacher Yang, what’s up?" Li Chen’s tone was teasing as the caller turned out to be Yang Xin.

"Hmph, can’t I call you if there’s nothing wrong?" Yang Xin snorted from the other end, her petulant mood unmistakable, "I’ve called you so many times in these past dozen days, and you haven’t answered."

Li Chen was startled, but then he bitterly smiled, he had left his phone in the villa the day he went to Duan Ya Mountain, and it had almost run out of battery by the time he came back. He had only just recently charged it.

"That’s my fault, but I wasn’t in Linchuan before. So, Teacher Yang, how about I make it up to you?" The way he emphasized the word "make up," Li Chen’s intentions were clear, and Yang Xin certainly caught on.

She snorted again and then Yang Xin said, "I’ve got something to tell you."

"Mhm."

"You should brace yourself."

"Mhm."

"It’s like this," Yang Xin hesitated for a long while on the other end, her tone seemingly filled with disbelief. As Li Chen was getting curious about what it could be, Yang Xin finally said, "My mom wants you to come over for dinner."

Ah?

Li Chen’s eyes widened, Dinner? Dinner?

For some reason, his scalp tingled at the thought, and he blurted out, "What, your mom has invited me over for dinner again?"

Li Chen didn’t mind having dinner, but the thought of Ning Wan’s enthusiasm made him feel like he couldn’t handle it. For someone who always talked about wanting grandchildren, all Li Chen could do was give a bitter smile.
