Chapter 128 About Confession

on Monday.

Today is Xu Qingwu’s first day at Juncheng Law Firm.

I haven't been to work for a while, and my biological clock is a little disrupted. I'm still a little uncomfortable returning to the workplace.

The biggest problem is: I can’t get up.

Only after all three alarm clocks set in advance rang did Xu Qingwu struggle to get out of bed and wash up.

When she finished tidying up and went downstairs, Cen Xihuai was already sitting at the dining table, looking at some information on his pad.

"Good morning~" Xu Qingwu sat down opposite him.

Cen Xihuai poured a glass of milk and handed it to her: "Good morning, I'll take you to work after breakfast."

"You're sending me?"

"We're together. Have you forgotten we're on the same route now?"

"profound."

When she was at Heyi Law Firm, they were in opposite directions, while Juncheng and Cenjing headquarters were in the same direction.

The two sat down in the back row. Cen Xihuai hadn't finished reading the information in his hand yet, and Xu Qingwu was bored.

"Cen Xihuai, why don't you get carsick when you use electronic devices in a car?"

"Are you carsick?"

"A little bit. If I play with my phone, I will feel even more dizzy. I don't even dare to drive..."

Cen Xihuai turned off the screen of his iPad and discussed with her seriously: "People who are carsick won't get carsick while driving."

"Really?"

"Really, because driving requires a lot of concentration."

"Then I want to learn how to drive."

In fact, she had always had the idea, but she had put it aside because she was afraid of motion sickness. That night when she went to see Cen Yue, she didn't know how to drive, and she always had to wait when taking a taxi, so the idea of ​​learning to drive became even stronger.

Since Cen Xihuai said that driving wouldn't make her carsick, she wanted to give it a try.

Cen Xihuai expressed his full support: "If you want to, go ahead and try it. I'll practice with you when I have time."

Xu Qingwu nodded: "Okay~"

Juncheng Law Firm was not far from Qingyu Garden, and they had arrived while they were talking. Xu Qingwu got out of the car and went to the office building.

She was a little nervous about having to adapt to the new environment.

The HR department assigned her a workstation, introduced her to her team members, and then left.

Xu Qingwu sat down at his workstation.

She hadn't been assigned any work yet, so she used her computer to access Juncheng's homepage through the intranet to familiarize herself with the company culture.

With nothing to do, Xu Qingwu had no choice but to slack off.

Cen Yue posted good news in the group. Qi Siyang helped her get a divorce number from a scalper, and she could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for registration immediately.

Xu Qingwu was happy for her, but also a little worried: "When will you tell your family the truth?"

Cen Yue sent a withered rose and said, "Let's keep it a secret for now. There's a thirty-day cooling-off period after registration. I'm afraid if I confess, my mom will ruin my divorce and that would be the end of it."

Cen Yue continued, "I really don't understand. If you don't even need to steal your household registration booklet to get married, why is it so difficult to get a divorce?"

She really benefited from the disadvantages of the times.

When they got married, her family did not agree, so she and Qi Yan got married by stealing their household registration book.

Now it's her turn to get a divorce, but she can't get a number and there's a cooling-off period. The process is so slow and tedious that it's frustrating.

There was nothing that could be done about the rules, so Xu Qingwu changed the subject: "If I remember correctly, you have your prenatal checkup this Friday? I'll take some time off to accompany you."

Cen Yue: "No, it's not good to ask for leave right after you start working. Qi Siyang has arranged it for me."

There was a scent of gossip, and Xia Xiaoxiao came over: "Xiaoyue, does Qi Siyang want to be a father for free? He is too good to you."

Cen Yue didn't take it seriously: "That's called being responsible. Last time he rear-ended me, I even got bloody. Shouldn't he be nicer to me?"

Xia Xiaoxiao: "Not necessarily. It's just a matter of paying some money and it's over. He's such a big boss and he can be ordered around by you."

Cen Yue: "My sister, can you please stop reading those domineering CEO novels on Tomatoes?"

Xia Xiaoxiao: "No, it's my spiritual food."

Xu Qingwu didn't see their conversation because a project suddenly came up and he had to go to the conference room for a meeting.

…

Cenjing Group Headquarters.

After the weekly reporting meeting, Cen Xihuai returned to the office.

Before closing the door, he called Yao Wei in.

"Boss Cen, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Please sit down."

Cen Xihuai pointed to the sofa and poured a cup of tea for Yao Wei, who raised his hand to take it.

The teacup was just the right temperature, yet it felt like a hot potato.

Yao Wei was a little nervous. Why did he feel weird?

Cen Xihuai showed Yao Wei the screenshot of Xie Yingfa's post in the group chat yesterday: "Qingwu posted this on WeChat Moments yesterday."

Yao Wei knew what Cen Xihuai was talking about without even reading it. Please, he and his wife were WeChat friends.

"I saw it yesterday." Yao Wei pointed to the picture of an Ai comic book character depicting a family of three. "I liked it. This is me."

The Cen Jing Group used internal chat software for communication and rarely used private WeChat, so Cen Xihuai didn't even notice that Yao Wei had changed his profile picture.

"Then what do you think Qingwu meant by posting this on WeChat Moments?"

What else is there to say? Just post it if you want to.

He thought so in his heart, but Yao Wei couldn't say that. A good assistant should learn to guide the boss to express his true thoughts. When the boss asks questions, in most cases they already have the answer in their hearts.

"What do you think?"

Cen Xihuai: "I think she is expressing that she likes me."

Come again?

How do you know, my dear boss? !

Yao Wei pondered, "Posting to Moments is generally about sharing your life. Of course, what you said is not without reason. The wife's message specifically mentioned you."

Cen Xihuai added: "Except for the week of the wedding, she posts on WeChat Moments about once a week. She never posts anything irrelevant. It's always about her bestie gatherings and cats. She likes her bestie and they also like cats. This post is about me, so by the same token, she likes me."

This Chinese reading comprehension is probably something that the author himself didn't even think of. Boss, it would be a waste of your talent if you don't do Chinese reading comprehension questions!

Seeing the changes in Xu Qingwu's feelings towards him in Cen Xihuai's cognition, from "she seems to like me", to "she should like me", and now "she likes me"...

Yao Wei felt that he could no longer allow his boss to indulge in his own thoughts. He had to lend a hand to justify the bonus he received for his wife.

"I don't know if you've ever seen a movie where it says love starts with a bouquet of flowers and a formal confession. You could take the initiative."

Cen Xihuai frowned and said, "We are already married, and Qingwu is allergic to flowers."

Yao Wei was a little speechless: "I was just using an analogy. What I meant was that a relationship needs to be clearly expressed."

"Oh." Cen Xihuai seemed to be thinking about something. "Then how did you confess your love to your wife?"

Yao Wei blushed a little: "We were college classmates, and my wife confessed to me."

Cen Xihuai gave him a look that was hard to describe: "How can you let a girl do something like this?"

Yao Wei: "..." What can he do when his wife loves him so much?!

Assistant Yao, who had no experience in confessing his feelings, was kicked out of the office by Cen Xihuai without even being allowed to drink tea.

In order to avoid making the same mistake as Assistant Yao, Cen Xihuai felt that he had to confess to Xu Qingwu before Xu Qingwu clearly expressed her love to him.

So he took out his phone, found the anonymous forum he had stumbled upon earlier, and posted a message.

How do I confess my love to my wife?
