A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Snowland Group, rooftop conference room.

The quarterly report meeting is in progress. Li Xixue is sitting at the head of the long table. Today, she has her hair loosely tied in a low ponytail at the back of her head and is wearing a pair of black flat shoes.

She wasn't wearing high heels.

That's why everyone present noticed it first.

You should know that their CEO always wears high heels to any formal occasion.

What about today?

The person looked... how should I put it.

She became gentler.

Yes, that's gentleness.

This is completely different from her previous aloof image.

If Li Xixue used to be a cold and aloof CEO, now she's like a gentle and virtuous wife.

The finance director standing next to her flipped through the PPT several times but couldn't find the page she was supposed to report on. It wasn't that she was unprofessional, but Li Xixue's demeanor today was just too strange.

Others were also looking at Li Xixue.

Multiple gazes met in mid-air.

They all seemed to be silently mouthing three words: "What's wrong with President Li today?"

The CFO was still speaking on stage.

"The gross margin in the third quarter improved compared to the same period last year..."

Li Xixue's gaze fell on the projection screen.

But her mind wasn't on those numbers.

She was thinking about what happened this morning.

The current result does not represent the true result.

She's probably fine.

Something might happen.

Li Xixue rested her hand on the table, her fingers unconsciously tapping twice on the corner of the folder.

She suddenly remembered what Lu Yang had said that morning.

If you're pregnant, just have the baby. What's there to worry about?

That's how this person talks; he says things so casually, as if it were eating or drinking.

But this is a child.

The fruit of love between husband and wife.

"President Li?"

At that moment, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

To be precise, Li Xixue was not only out of sorts today, but also somewhat absent-minded.

It's as if he's thinking about something.

But that doesn't make sense.

This CEO is usually decisive and efficient, so today is really unusual for him.

Just when everyone was puzzled...

Li Xixue's gaze sharpened.

The CFO stood at the front of the table, immediately straightened his back, and stared straight at her.

"Mr. Li... do you think this page of the budget allocation plan needs adjustment?"

Li Xixue glanced at the numbers on the screen and spoke calmly.

"Scroll down."

"Okay, let's move on to the fourth quarter..."

The CFO continued speaking.

Chen Yan stood to Li Xixue's right, jotting down key points of the meeting in her notebook, but half of her attention was on Li Xixue.

Mr. Li is not in a good mood today.

Could it be that she's with Commissioner Lu again...?

Thinking about this...

Chen Yan immediately stopped.

After all, this wasn't something a mere assistant like her could ask.

When the meeting was halfway through, Li Xixue finally spoke.

"Okay, send the rest of the data to my email once you've compiled it."

The CFO was still speaking, his mouth agape.

"Mr. Li, are there three more sections left...?"

"Mail."

The CFO immediately shut his mouth.

People in the conference room gradually stood up and started tidying up their documents.

Li Xixue picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table, took a sip, then stood up and walked towards the door.

It used to be the clattering sound of high heels, crisp, rhythmic, and exuding confidence.

Now I wear flat shoes, so they make almost no noise when I walk in them.

Several executives exchanged glances in the back.

The marketing manager leaned close to the finance director and whispered, "Did you notice? President Li's outfit today is a bit unusual."

The CFO nodded and said in a low voice, "Not only that, she only said three sentences throughout the entire meeting today."

"It wasn't like this before. In the past, we would at least ask the data several times."

"Do you think something happened?"

Let's see the wealth of people one by one.

The HR director chimed in, "Don't speculate. Maybe Mr. Li is just tired today."

"That's true, that's true. I noticed that President Li doesn't look too well today."

The marketing manager thought for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice to a level that was almost inaudible.

"You guys think... President Li might be pregnant?"

"Got it? Got it what?"

"Are you stupid? If you're pregnant, then you are..."

He mouthed two words.

Pregnant.

The three of them fell silent.

Normally, when a woman suddenly changes her style of dress, it's usually for one of these reasons.

Moreover, President Li has always maintained a straight face, so his unusual behavior today inevitably makes people suspicious.

"Impossible, right?"

"Didn't I hear before that Commissioner Lu and President Li had something going on...?"

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Chen Yan, who was standing next to her, coughed lightly.

It wasn't too big or too small, but it was big enough to shut up the whispering executives around it.

Of course, that's what she meant too.

The marketing manager was the first to fall silent, but his expression remained unchanged.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly mustered up the courage to ask a question.

"Assistant Chen, has President Li... had some good news recently?"

Chen Yan looked up and frowned.

She didn't say anything, she just looked at him.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The marketing manager's smile froze on his face.

"I... I was just asking casually."

Chen Yan did not reply.

The marketing manager immediately cleared his throat.

"Um, I have a meeting, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

Several senior executives followed behind.

The corridor fell silent instantly.

Chen Yan stood there and exhaled.

These people.

They don't seem to care much about their work, but they're all incredibly enthusiastic about gossiping.

However, to be fair, she herself is also a bit gossipy.

Mr. Li is definitely acting strangely today.

The shoes she was wearing were just a facade; what really concerned Chen Yan was Li Xixue's condition during the meeting earlier.

Distracted.

Li Xixue was distracted during the meeting.

It's worth noting that Li Xixue is always the most focused person during meetings.

She can be precise down to the decimal point for every piece of data and every slide of the PPT.

What about today?

She didn't ask a single question about the CFO's report.

With that thought in mind, Chen Yan picked up her notebook and walked back towards the president's office.

Push open the door.

Li Xixue sat in her office chair, her left hand supporting her chin, her right hand swiping across her phone screen.

Hearing the door open, she flipped her hand and slammed her phone face down on the table.

The movements were very fast.

"President Li, I've compiled the meeting minutes. Would you like to see them now?"

"Leave it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan placed the folder on her desk.

Then Chen Yan stood there and didn't leave.

Li Xixue looked up at her.

"Is there anything else?"

"fine."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, she added, "Well... there were a few people talking about it outside just now."

Li Xixue's brow twitched slightly.

"What are you talking about?"

"They think your style has changed today, and then they start making wild guesses."

"Guess what?"

Chen Yan hesitated for half a second.

"I'm guessing you might be... pregnant."
