Chapter 244 Wife, I will protect myself
"Business trip? Where to?" Chu Rou asked.
“Country M,” Mo Chi said dejectedly, “my dad asked me to go there to discuss a project collaboration. He originally wanted my older brother to go, but my sister-in-law is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her, so he sent me instead.”
"Going abroad for two months?" Chu Rou didn't think much of it and was quite excited. "I've never been abroad before, so I might as well take the opportunity to do some sightseeing."
Mo Chi looked distressed as he hugged Chu Rou. "If I could take you with me, I wouldn't be so sad. My dad said you can stay at the company to temporarily take over my work, but I have to go abroad by myself."
"What? We're going to be separated for two months!" Chu Rou was furious. She never expected that Mo Chi wouldn't take her with him.
She stood up. "I'll go ask your dad. If that doesn't work, I'll go back to the Mo family and find Mom."
“But if you come abroad with me, what will happen to your Chinese medicine? Old Bai said that the prescription needs to be changed every half month.” Mo Chi was also conflicted, as he was very worried about Chu Rou’s health.
"When are you leaving?" Chu Rou asked listlessly again.
"tomorrow!"
"So fast!" Chu Rou's eyes widened.
Mo Chi hugged Chu Rou tightly, "Wife, I can't bear to part with you! You must be good, don't run around, don't talk to other men, and don't meet with other men."
Chu Rou:......
Who is the other man?
"I will. You must not have any contact with any women while you are abroad. You are not allowed to look at other women, smile at other women, or talk to other women. You must send me messages every day."
Mo Chi hummed in agreement. "I'm not interested in foreign girls."
"What do you mean?" Chu Rou pushed Mo Chi away. "You're not interested in foreign girls, so you're interested in domestic girls, aren't you!"
“I’m only interested in you,” Mo Chi said, his survival instincts kicking in. “No other female can catch my eye except you.”
"That's more like it," Chu Rou pinched Mo Chi's face, "If I find out you're cheating on me, I'll personally cripple you!"
Mo Chi was pinched in the face, but he felt a pain in his testicles. He believed that Chu Rou meant what she said, "Wife, don't worry, I will protect myself."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Chu Rou and Mo Chi separated, and Chu Rou called out, "Please come in!"
Guo Jia, with her large, wavy hair, pushed open the door and smiled as she placed the documents in her hand on Chu Rou's desk. "President Chu, these need to be signed. Please take a look when you have time."
Chu Rou felt something was off. After a few seconds, she looked up and asked, "What did you just call me?"
"President Chu!" Guo Jia smiled. "The company just issued a document that you have been promoted to vice president. Effective immediately, you will temporarily take over all of President Chi's work."
"Is that so?" Chu Rou opened her company email and sure enough, there was an unread email, which was her job appointment notification.
Chu Rou took the documents from Guo Jia's hand. "You can go back now. I need some time to process this news."
Guo Jia left the office.
Chu Rou ran to Mo Chi's desk, lifted his chin, looked him in the eye, and exclaimed with shining eyes, "Mo Bao, I got promoted!"
Seeing Chu Rou's overly excited expression, Mo Chi pursed his lips and said, "My dad is giving me a slap and then a sweet treat, but he slapped me and then gave you the sweet treat."
Chu Rou tried her best to control her smile, not letting her mouth stretch too wide. She cupped Mo Chi's face, lowered her head, and kissed him twice on the lips. "Is it sweet?"
"No!"
Mo Chi pulled Chu Rou onto his lap and kissed her deeply. After a long while, the two separated. Mo Chi stroked his lips, which were swollen from his kisses, and said, "This is much sweeter."
...
When Chu Rou got home that evening, she told Chu Weize about Mo Chi's trip abroad. Chu Weize didn't react much, only saying calmly, "Two months is just right. After you come back, you should prepare for the wedding. Rou Rou, you can focus on taking care of your health."
Mo Chi frowned slightly. Seeing his father-in-law's reaction, it seemed as if he knew beforehand. Could he have been tricked by his father-in-law and father together?
Chu Rou had no idea about all that. She grinned and said, "Dad, I got promoted! I'm now the vice president of the Mo Group headquarters, with the same responsibilities as Mo Chi."
Seeing Chu Rou so happy, Chu Weize joked, "My daughter is still obsessed with officialdom!"
“Being a leader is great! I can do whatever I want in the Mo Group,” Chu Rou said, puffing out her chest. “I won’t have to listen to those people talking badly about me behind my back.”
"Who spoke ill of you?" Mo Chi suddenly asked. "How come I didn't know?"
"So many people think I'm a mistress who hooked up with you, and they call us a scumbag and a bitch." Chu Rou said cheerfully, as if the insults weren't directed at her.
"Who are you calling a scumbag and a bitch!" Mo Chi was furious. "These people are really idle. I think they have too little work to do, and they still have time to gossip."
"I'll show them our marriage certificate in a bit and let them see that they are the real scumbags and we are a legally married couple."
"Let them say what they want. Once you get back, we'll send out wedding invitations to everyone and ask them to give gifts," Chu Rou advised Mo Chi dismissively.
Mo Chi calmed down and thought the idea was good.
Chu Rou didn't see Qi Hang, so she asked, "Dad, hasn't Xiao Hang come back yet?"
Chu Weize didn't even look up, and said casually, "I told him to go home and keep his mother company."
"Oh!" Chu Rou looked at Chu Weize, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Feeling Chu Rou's eager gaze, Chu Weize looked up at her and asked, "Rou Rou, what do you want to say?"
"Dad, do you also want to go back and see Aunt Qi?"
Chu Rou always felt that her father's divorce was a bit too quick. He and Qi Feiyao had been together for over twenty years, and it must have been a moment of anger that he wanted a divorce. They were both too proud to admit it.
"No, Xiaohang and Linlin are fine with her."
After Chu Weize finished speaking, he stood up. "Rou Rou, go help Mo Chi pack his luggage. Isn't he leaving tomorrow?"
"Oh!" Chu Weize didn't want to say more, so Chu Rou didn't ask any further questions.
Chu Rou and Mo Chi returned to their room. Chu Rou helped Mo Chi pack his suitcase, stuffing it with everything she could think of.
She straightened up. "Is there anything else you've forgotten?"
Mo Chi frowned when he saw the huge box full of things. "There's way too much stuff!"
"Not much, you'll be gone for two months!"
As Chu Rou spoke, she glanced down at the ring on Mo Chi's left middle finger. It was the matching ring they bought on the day they registered their marriage. Because they were secretly married at the time, they wore the ring on their middle fingers.
Chu Rou took Mo Chi's hand, took off the ring from her middle finger, put it on his ring finger, and examined it for a moment. "It looks much better this way."
