Chapter 121 Let's requisition your beat-up little car
No one knows Xu Si'an's mouth better than her.
It can make someone so angry that they pull out their own oxygen tube.
Unexpectedly, the old lady beamed and asked, "Xiao An, do you have a picture of that boy? Is he handsome?"
Xu Si'an showed the old lady Si Shen's photo: "Handsome."
"Grandma, look, isn't he more handsome than your good-for-nothing son of a bitch?"
Qiao Xu: ······
No wonder He Yanxun said that his brother would stab him in the back at the drop of a hat.
Every strike is deadly!
The three of them stood on the same platform under the gaze of hundreds of guests.
He Yanxun took the microphone from the emcee.
"Thank you all for coming. Ms. Xue and... what's your name?"
"Never mind, it's not important."
"Thank you all for attending Ms. Xue and her girlfriend's engagement ceremony. I'll cover the cost of the banquet today. Please enjoy yourselves."
In a corner of the audience, a man dressed in a very ordinary black suit was holding a mobile phone.
The man on the screen had a complete view of the scene.
"Mr. Si, would you like to continue reading?"
Si Shen, far away in Chicago, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a black bathrobe and holding a glass of red wine.
Looking at the scene behind him, it's an office.
"I'm not watching anymore."
He originally just wanted to see what it would be like for him to marry someone else.
If they're not going to marry, what's the point of watching?
As soon as He Yanxun stepped off the stage, someone grabbed his ear and gave him a scolding. Xue Wanning took her girlfriend's hand and led her to her parents.
"I'm having my engagement party today, so if you want to call me, I'll call you when I get home."
She casually picked up a clean wine glass from the table: "Young Master He, thank you for hosting my engagement banquet today. You will sit at the head table on our wedding day."
Finally, she added, "Bring your boyfriend along."
He's parents were instantly furious, as if struck by lightning.
"He Yanxun, if you don't give me an explanation today, you're getting out of here."
He Yanxun pulled up a chair and sat down as if he were just there to eat at someone else's table: "I hardly ever go home throughout the year."
"You...you unfilial son."
Mrs. He was so angry that her chest heaved, while the old lady said, "My dear grandson, why didn't you bring your boyfriend along?"
"If you tell Grandma that your boyfriend is a handsome young man, Grandma won't introduce you to any random people."
He Yanxun poured himself a glass of red wine: "Grandma, you gave a very good introduction. Don't do it again next time."
What was supposed to be a lovely engagement party suddenly turned into a business banquet.
Xu Si'an's [Anqiao International] is now considered an unattainable force in the business world of Los Angeles.
Countless people would do anything to try some meat.
Xu Si'an pointed to the man next to her who was being scolded: "Today is President He's event. If you want to cooperate with An Qiao, you can make an appointment with my secretary."
At He Yanxun's house, Xu Si'an threw him onto the sofa.
"Was drinking so much a way to mourn your engagement party that died before it even began?"
When Qiao Xu heard this after closing the door, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You've really gone too far. Hurry up and get him into the room. It's snowing outside."
Xu Si'an went into He Yanxun's doghouse, took out a quilt, and covered him with it.
"Never mind him, I've called his assistant."
Xu Si'an had to go on a business trip in the afternoon. After he hurriedly entered the villa, Qiao Xu quickly packed his things for him.
"Does he really think of me as his assistant?"
"Go take a break."
Xu Si'an picked him up and pressed him down on the sofa in the dressing room.
"Honey, when I get back from my business trip, can I borrow your beat-up little car?"
"Don't be crazy."
Qiao Xu pushed him away and got up to change her dress.
He took out three suits, two casual outfits, and some everyday loungewear from the closet.
Xu Si'an leaned against the side and watched her busy herself.
"Assistant Joe is really dedicated. As the boss, I'll give you a special reward later."
Qiao Xu threw what she was holding in his face.
“Keep it yourself.”
"You can't spoil a jerk like that."
Xu Si'an threw his things onto the suitcase, picked up the person walking out, and took a few steps to the bedside.
"Stop messing around, we need to catch our flight."
"There's still time."
The man's tender kisses landed on Qiao Xu's face and neck.
Xu Si'an grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to the garage? To find your beat-up little car?"
He was fixated on that car, determined to see just how good its quality was that made Qiao Xu so fond of it.
Ideally, it should be extremely durable; it wouldn't be fun if it fell apart.
Qiao Xu glared at him, her face flushed red: "Pervert."
"Am I a pervert?"
"Baby, didn't you say that? My Rolls-Royce is wrecked."
He whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her skin: "However, I think the car's owner..."
Qiao Xu immediately raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"Shameless."
Xu Si'an pulled her hand to his lips and kissed her five fingers.
His voice was extremely low and hoarse: "If I want to save face, I have to be without a wife."
"I can tell which is more important, my wife or my face."
Qiao Xu was furious and bit his Adam's apple. She didn't bite hard, but the bastard insisted on making a low groan.
Qiao Xu's mind went blank for a moment: "Shut up."
"I'm innocent, baby! I didn't open my mouth at all."
Qiao Xu's waist was grabbed by him, and she couldn't dodge it, so she kicked him, saying, "You'd better go pack your things."
"We'll collect it later!"
Qiao Xu didn't see when he took the things out of the drawer.
While she was thinking, Xu Si'an had already "pushed open the door" and entered.
——
Qiao Xu lay on her side on the bed, looking at her husband who had just taken a shower, whose hair was still wet, and whose face still carried the lazy look of someone who had just finished eating.
He was carrying the black suitcase that he had just tossed onto the floor of the dressing room.
He walked to the bedside, bent down, and kissed her: "Go to sleep. I'm leaving."
"I've already instructed the secretary's office to handle the company's affairs these past few days. If the president's wife is tired and doesn't want to go, then she doesn't need to."
Qiao Xu pursed her lips and glared at him: "Get lost."
He did it on purpose.
My neck is so thick with neck tissue that I can't wear business attire at all.
She can't exactly wear a business suit with a scarf, can she?
What's the difference between this and "protesting too much"?
After Xu Si'an left, Qiao Xu still clocked in for work as usual.
These past two days, she's changed her shirts into turtleneck undershirts.
It was cold, but no one found it strange.
On the second day of Xu Si'an's business trip, his chief secretary knocked on Qiao Xu's door.
"Assistant Qiao, Assistant Song has been hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. President Xu has a very important business dinner tonight. I was wondering if you would be available to take over Assistant Song's duties?"
It's not that the secretary can't go, it's just that they all feel that...
When it comes to accompanying the boss to banquets, only the boss's wife is the most suitable.
Qiao Xu knew that Xu Si'an's business trip was only an hour and a half away from Luocheng by plane.
"Okay, send me the flight information. I'll go home and pack my things first."
The secretary quickly booked the earliest flight and sent it to her.
Qiao Xu picked up her car keys, turned on her phone, stopped, hesitated for a few seconds, and walked through the president's office next door from her lounge.
Half of Xu Si'an's wardrobe in the lounge was filled with her clothes.
Qiao Xu grabbed two sets of clothes at random, then went back to her office, picked up her coat, and headed out.
"No, hehe, the censorship is a bit too much!!"
