After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

Xiao En was a little confused by the sudden concern, but out of politeness, she said, "Um... thank you, but will it wake him up?"

Tang Xiaoli replied, "Probably not. Let's be gentle. President Lu isn't the unreasonable type."

"it is good."

Xiao En agreed, and her legs were also a little numb.

The two subtly switched positions, and after a few moments, Lu Chen rested his head on Tang Xiaoli's black-stockinged legs.

Xiao En stood up and stretched, when her phone suddenly vibrated.

After glancing at it, Xiao En whispered to Tang Xiaoli, "Um, Sister Li, my friend is looking for me. I'll go over there first. Please tell President Lu."

Tang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, you go ahead. I'll stay here with him."

Xiao En nodded and was about to leave when Tang Xiaoli said again, "Don't take the suit thing to heart. My intentions were good, and I wasn't targeting you. Let's have a meal sometime."

Xiao En looked surprised when she heard this.

She was a little confused about what the other person wanted. They had that attitude before, but now they were all smiles and grins...

But since they had already said it, Xiao En, a naive young girl, could only politely agree.

As for the suggestion to have dinner sometime, she took it as just a polite remark.

After Xiao En left, Tang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief. She first glanced at Lu Chen, who was fast asleep, and then gently patted his face.

Seeing that he was still asleep and didn't move, she took out her phone, posed, and took a picture with Lu Chen.

After taking more than a dozen photos, Tang Xiaoli looked at them with satisfaction and then used a beauty filter on herself.

Then, she posted all the photos on Douyin (TikTok) with captions.

I love the way you look when you sleep.

Then, she patted the spacious CEO's office, cleverly including Lu Chen in the photo.

This seemingly casual video perfectly illustrates her current life.

After uploading the video to her best friends' group and Douyin, Tang Xiaoli put down her phone and gently stroked Lu Chen's cheek.

"So handsome..."

Tang Xiaoli murmured to herself. She had seen Lu Chen in many different ways, but this was the first time she had ever seen him sleeping peacefully.

After making a sigh, Tang Xiaoli noticed Lu Chen's phone, which was placed not far away.

She stared at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally quietly reached over and picked up Lu Chen's phone.

She did this to see her place in Lu Chen's heart, and incidentally... she had another purpose.

After unlocking the phone with Lu Chen's finger, the first thing Tang Xiaoli checked was WeChat.

The moment the interface appeared, Tang Xiaoli saw no fewer than ten girls, and they chatted every day.

Of course, all of this was within her expectations. It would be abnormal if Lu Chen only had his wife as a contact in his phone.

Scrolling down, Tang Xiaoli found herself in a very late position, and Lu Chen had read all her messages but not replied.

"Ugh!"

Tang Xiaoli sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed but otherwise nothing more.

Her identity didn't really hold much value in Lu Chen's eyes; it was far inferior to that of other women.

Tang Xiaoli opened her WeChat Moments and found that the posts from the girls who chatted with Lu Chen mostly featured photos of them with Lu Chen.

These girls are all extremely beautiful, each with her own unique charm.

As she watched, Tang Xiaoli suddenly felt a little inferior...

She always thought she was quite pretty...

"No wonder he doesn't take me seriously."

Tang Xiaoli felt relieved; the knot in her heart had been untied.

Then, Tang Xiaoli glanced at Lu Chen cautiously…

She opened Lu Chen's banking app, which was what she was most curious about.

She wanted to see just how much money Lu Chen had.

Soon after the fingerprint authentication was successful, Tang Xiaoli eagerly checked her balance.

The long string of numbers left her speechless. After realizing what was happening, she counted them carefully.

"Holy crap... this is over a billion? And this is just a personal account, if all the assets are added up, it must be tens of billions?"

Tang Xiaoli was deeply shocked, but also felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

Since graduating, I've been working hard, leaving early and returning late every day, but in the end, I haven't saved a single penny.

As for her boyfriend, he did save up some dowry money, but it was only a little over 100,000 yuan.

For Lu Chen, a mere hundred thousand is nothing.

Tang Xiaoli stared at the string of numbers, contemplating whether she should break up with her boyfriend and focus on serving Lu Chen from now on. Perhaps she could even obtain an identity from him!

Just then.

Lu Chen, who was fast asleep, stirred. Tang Xiaoli immediately exited all interfaces, turned off her phone, and put it back in its original place.

Lu Chen quickly opened his eyes. He first touched his leg and, finding it was stockings, looked up...

"Tang Xiaoli, how could it be you?"

Lu Chen was puzzled. Wasn't he sleeping on Xiao En's lap? How did he end up as this woman when he woke up?

Tang Xiaoli replied, "Xiao En went out on business, so I came to find you... Mr. Lu, why don't you take a nap?"

Lu Chen sat up, first touching Tang Xiaoli's black-stockinged legs, and casually asked, "Are your legs numb?"

A feeling of gratitude welled up in Tang Xiaoli's heart...

"It's alright... Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chen nodded: "I'm hungry, go get me some food."

"it is good!"

Tang Xiaoli readily agreed: "Mr. Lu, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Lu Chen yawned, picked up his phone, and said, "I don't eat garlic or spicy food."

"okay, I get it."

Tang Xiaoli picked up her phone and started ordering takeout.

She even chose a nice Hunan restaurant, and the five or six good dishes plus rice cost her a total of over two hundred yuan.

You should know that when she eats takeout, she always orders pre-made meals.

As it turned out, Lu Chen was hungry, so she ordered two hundred yuan worth of Hunan cuisine.

Lu Chen returned to his office and began to handle the official business he had left behind before going to sleep.

Seeing that he didn't let her leave, Tang Xiaoli took it upon herself to stay and stand aside to serve him.

Lu Chen looked up at her and smiled, "You sit down and rest, don't worry about me."

"it is good."

Tang Xiaoli let out a breath, sat on the sofa and rubbed her legs. After being used as a pillow by Lu Chen for so long, they were a little sore and numb.

Twenty minutes later.

Tang Xiaoli received a call from the deliveryman. She was about to tell him to leave it at the front desk when a familiar voice came through the phone.

"Xiao Li? It really is you..."

Tang Xiaoli's expression froze. She looked at her phone; the number on the screen was a virtual number.

But the deliveryman's voice was that of her boyfriend.

"Uh!"

She covered the microphone and said to Lu Chen, "Mr. Lu, the takeout has arrived. I'll go get it."

"Go ahead," Lu Chen said without even looking up.

Tang Xiaoli quickly covered the phone and hurriedly opened the door and went out.

Chapter 171 Face to Face

Tang Xiaoli quickly got off the elevator, grabbed a bottle of water from the front desk, and then went to the company's main entrance.

An electric scooter was parked at the entrance, and a dark-skinned, honest-looking boy in a rider's uniform was smiling and waving at her.

Upon seeing this face, Tang Xiaoli's lips twitched, but she still smiled and walked forward.

"Gangzi, it's you? Weren't you resting at home? Aren't you hot?"

Her eyes were full of tenderness, her voice was gentle, and she was concerned.

Gangzi, the dark-skinned man, smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No rest! Isn't there a subsidy today? Seven yuan per order! I'll just come out and run some errands."

As he spoke, Gangzi took out the takeout and handed it to Tang Xiaoli. He then asked, "Xiaoli, are you eating all this by yourself?"

Tang Xiaoli shook her head: "No, you know how much I eat. This is for the boss, and he'll reimburse me later."

“I see…” Gangzi nodded: “Okay, then hurry up and deliver it, I’ll run a bit more.”

Tang Xiaoli handed over the water: "Here's some water for you to drink on the way, so you don't get heatstroke."

"Hehe..." Gangzi took the water and smiled憨厚ly: "I know, Xiaoli, you're so good to me! I will definitely marry you."

However, at that moment, Tang Xiaoli's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lu Chen calling... Not daring to delay, Tang Xiaoli answered the call.

On the phone, Lu Chen only said one sentence: "It's too hot. Have your boyfriend come up and take a shower. There are free showers at the company."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoli's hands trembled slightly; she seemed to know what Lu Chen was about to do.

But she dared not disobey Lu Chen's orders...

After putting down her phone, Tang Xiaoli stopped Gangzi, who was about to ride away on his bicycle.

Gangzi asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiaoli?"

Tang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Gangzi, look how hot it is. Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower before running? It won't make a difference if you wait a little longer."

Gangzi was taken aback, feeling quite touched, but then he looked at himself and said somewhat awkwardly, "My clothes... I smell of sweat, it's not really appropriate to go in."

"It's okay." Tang Xiaoli took his hand and said, "You're my boyfriend, no one will mind. Come on upstairs."

These few words moved Gangzi even more, and he almost cried...

"Xiaoli, you're so good to me. I, Gangzi, swear that even if it costs me my life, I will give you a good life and make you the happiest woman!"

Tang Xiaoli nodded, a mocking glint flashing quickly in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, I believe you~ Let's go upstairs and take a shower first, and I'll introduce you to my boss while we're at it."

Tang Xiaoli took Gangzi upstairs. After he finished showering and put on the company's free bathrobe, Tang Xiaoli led him to the rooftop garden.

Gangzi felt a refreshing coolness as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.

Then he was amazed by the hanging gardens.

"Holy crap..." Gangzi looked around and shook his head in disbelief: "Xiaoli, these evil capitalists really know how to enjoy life!"

Tang Xiaoli felt embarrassed and clicked her tongue to remind him, "Gangzi, don't say that. President Lu specially arranged to meet and talk with you here."

"Hehehe..." Gangzi still grinned: "I know, we should thank him. Didn't you get promoted? Now you can earn more money, and our whole family can enjoy life from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoli frowned immediately…

What are you saying?

What do you mean by saying that if I get a promotion and a raise, my family will be able to live a good life?
