Chapter 90 "Cheating"

Didn’t you say you weren’t afraid when you bought the ticket?

Xu Qingwu could no longer hear what was happening in the movie; all she could hear was Cen Xihuai's breathing which was too close.

The earlobe was wrapped in his warm breath, and a faint itching spread throughout the body.

She shifted slightly uncomfortably.

Cen Xihuai noticed her little movement and asked in a low voice: "Sorry, did it make you uncomfortable?"

Xu Qingwu quickly said, "No, no!"

"Then can I still rely on you?"

“…Yes.”

"Thanks."

In the darkness, Cen Xihuai silently raised the corners of his lips, trying hard to suppress the urge to kiss her earlobe.

He didn't want his new wife to think he was a pervert...

Xu Qingwu just sat there stiffly, watching the entire movie.

When it was over, she walked out of the screening room and went straight to the bathroom.

The palms of my hands were covered in fine beads of sweat.

When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror with a slightly red face. She washed her hands and touched her cheek.

So hot!

Fortunately, she didn't wear any makeup today. After splashing water on her face to cool it down for a while, she wiped it clean with a tissue and walked out, walking towards Cen Xihuai who was wearing a black mask in the waiting area.

"Are we going back now?"

"Let's go somewhere first."

"Where are you going?"

“Buy a vegetarian ring.”

She mentioned it when Cen Xihuai gave her the diamond ring before he went on a business trip.

If he hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten it.

The two went to the counter and picked out a pair of simple rings, simple platinum models, simple and elegant.

Cen Xihuai put the women's ring on the ring finger of Xu Qingwu's left hand, then placed the men's ring in her palm and stretched out his hand to signal her to put it on him.

Xu Qingwu followed suit and put the ring on his left ring finger. As soon as she put it on, he held her hand.

"Let's go home."

"Okay~"

The hard, cold ring felt a bit rough against her palm.

Looking at the two people's clasped hands, Xu Qingwu once again felt the reality of getting married.

Although this marriage is dull, they have no worries about food and clothing, no quarrels, and no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, except that their sex life is sometimes a little excessive.

Overall, she is still very satisfied.

…

The cooperation has been reached and the only thing left to do is to complete the project.

Xu Qingwu had a rare moment of free time, so he even fished for a while.

She accidentally clicked on a trending search and frowned when she saw a photo.

Even though it was blurry, she recognized it as her and Cen Xihuai's profiles at a glance.

The first person to break the news was an amateur beauty blogger with millions of followers, and then major marketing accounts followed suit and reposted it.

The content was written vaguely but the direction was clear, and the words between the lines hinted that Cen Xihuai was "cheating" on her.

The internet trolls in the comment section worked in perfect harmony to confirm the accusation.

Because Cen Xihuai had been on the hot search before, and the time interval was very short, many netizens still remember that the hot search entry was removed and blocked.

The comment section exploded.

"Why not fuck your loving wife persona? The loving wife persona is the easiest to break!"

"The red flag is flying at home, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. If I were to ask a man, he'd better hang himself on the wall and be honest!"

"Don't you remember how quickly the trending searches disappeared a few days ago? Pei Su was even dragged out to take the blame. I suggest you be careful with your words and actions, or your account might be blocked. (doghead.jpg)"

"Just to say, this woman is so beautiful even in such a blurry photo. The boss may not have a good character, but he has good taste."

"Does anyone dare to tag the official Weibo account of the Cenjing Group?"

"You're trying to kill yourself upstairs!"

“…”

Suddenly, Xu Qingwu was poked on the arm by Yang Yu, who looked serious and asked her to look at the message board on the law firm's official website.

A chorus of abuse.

"Qingwu, what's going on? You're about to get promoted, and now this kind of thing happens, could it be..." Yang Yu turned his gaze to Huang Yun.

After all, only she and Xu Qingwu have a conflict of interest.

"Don't slander me. I don't have the habit of talking about people behind their backs." Huang Yun hurriedly clarified, "Xu Qingwu, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Even though you're married, you can still make the boss crazy. You're a role model for us."

Xu Qingwu never thought that one day she and her husband would be accused of cheating.

It's really laughable.

"Lawyer Xu, Lawyer Zhang wants you to go to his office."

It seems that the rumor has reached Zhang Yuan's ears. Xu Qingwu got up and went in. It was indeed necessary to explain the matter clearly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door of the conference room, a pile of photos hit her in the face.

"Xu Qingwu, your promotion is void, and you don't have to wait for leave approval. President Yi will suspend you for one month."

Xu Qingwu said calmly: "I can explain."

"What's there to explain? Your case has damaged the law firm's image, and several partners have already requested to end their cooperation early."

Before she could say anything, Zhang Yuan's phone rang. He glanced at her and said, "Hand over the work to Huang Yun today. Get out of here."

Zhang Yuan's tone was insulting and disrespectful, completely different from the last time she brought back the contract.

Xu Qingwu didn't say anything more and pushed the door open to go out.

She seemed to have become a monkey in the zoo, with people watching the show all the way.

With a boss who doesn't tell right from wrong and colleagues who gossip about others behind their backs, it seems there is no point in staying in such a profit-oriented company.

By the time he reached his workstation, Xu Qingwu had figured it all out.

Yang Yu looked worried: "Qingwu, what did Zhang Lu say?"

"Suspended for one month."

"I don't believe you are such a person. The photo must be photoshopped, right?"

Even if it is true, you still have to be careful. If someone takes a photo like this, the stinky man will hide himself and the women will be criticized.

Xu Qingwu whispered to her, "The person in the photo is my husband. Keep it secret for now."

Yang Yu was dumbfounded.

Xu Qingwu's husband is actually a big shot?!

After handing over his work to Huang Yun, Xu Qingwu printed a resignation letter and put it in Zhang Yuan's office. Zhang Yuan stamped it without saying a word. Xu Qingwu strode out of the law firm holding the cactus he had been raising since he started working there.

Online public opinion fermented violently, she was labeled as a mistress, marketing accounts were guiding netizens to dig out her personal information, her mobile phone number was leaked, and she kept receiving harassing calls.

When he received the news, Cen Xihuai was in a meeting with senior executives.

The online public opinion was overwhelming, but Xu Qingwu's phone was always busy and he couldn't contact anyone.

She should be working at a law firm at this point.

Cen Xihuai ended the meeting and was about to drive over when he received a WeChat call from Xu Qingwu.

"Clear mist."

Xu Qingwu really liked Cen Xihuai calling her name, the firm voice made her feel safe.

The situation became more and more serious. She wanted to post an explanation on Weibo. The only way to explain was to admit that she and Cen Xihuai were husband and wife, but she was not sure about Cen Xihuai's attitude.

Does he want to be open with her?

"Did you know what happened on the Internet?"

"I just found out. Please take a leave and I'll pick you up at the law firm."

"I've quit my job and am at home." Xu Qingwu looked at the short essay she had written on the computer screen. "Can I make our relationship public?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Xu Qingwu didn't know what Cen Xihuai wanted to do.

She didn't dare to act rashly and could only refresh her Weibo again and again...
