Chapter 23 Did I cheat on my wife?
While Qiao Xu was eating cake with her girlfriends, all three of their phones rang simultaneously with WeChat notifications.
Ye Yurou nudged Qiao Xu's hand: "Your ex-boyfriend is looking for you."
She unlocked her phone and glanced at the pinned group chat: [Assistant Qiao, come to the office.]
Qiao Xu's face darkened, and she turned off her phone to continue eating her cake.
"Xuxu, aren't you going?"
"Let's eat first, then we'll go."
Fang Kexin gave her a thumbs up: "Sister, you are very brave."
Qiao Xu said nonchalantly, "If he's unhappy, he can either keep it to himself or fire me."
Ye Yurou scooped up a big mouthful of Basque and stuffed it into her mouth: "But Xuxu, why doesn't your ex-boyfriend message you privately?"
"Blocked."
Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin looked at her with admiration.
Blocking your ex-boyfriend is no problem.
Qiao Xu is probably the first person to block someone who provides him with food and clothing.
Is there any possibility of getting back together?
Qiao Xu countered Ye Yurou's question: "Would you go back to an old flame?"
The latter raised an eyebrow: "If my ex-boyfriend were President Xu, I would slap myself twice and reflect on whether I was the one who couldn't let him cheat on me."
Qiao Xu's lips twitched: "Meng Zhe might not be able to handle you like this. Find someone else you like."
"No, cousin, I only like your brother."
"But speaking of which, Xuxu, why did you and President Xu break up back then?"
Qiao Xu casually remarked, "He cheated on me."
"ah?"
Fang Kexin said, "That's impossible. President Xu has a very good reputation at headquarters. He is clean-living and doesn't get close to women."
"I heard that when the partners at the overseas headquarters sent female celebrities as gifts, he didn't even look at them."
Qiao Xu nodded: "It won't work for him."
······
Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin's expressions changed drastically when they saw the man walking out of the emergency exit.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Actually, it's not so bad. He's good-looking, and even if he weren't, many women would still like him."
Ye Yurou even cracked the cake spoon she was biting: "Xuxu, didn't President Xu want to see you? It must be something urgent. You should go right away."
"I'll go after I finish eating. He didn't contact me a second time in the group, so it probably isn't important."
The two exchanged a glance.
They didn't look for me in the group; they came to me in person.
"It's really not important. Is there enough cake? If not, I'll have someone go buy another one."
With a "snap," Qiao Xu bit off the plastic spoon in her mouth.
She gave the two people opposite her a meaningful look.
The weak and helpless Secretary Ye and Secretary Fang were almost in tears.
Qiao Xu turned around and smiled: "Sorry, Mr. Xu, it's not time to start work yet."
Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin simultaneously glanced down at their phones: 5:59 PM.
Xu Si'an took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and shoved it in front of her: "Can you ask Assistant Qiao to come to the office now?"
At 6 PM sharp, Qiao Xu picked up her phone: "Okay, Mr. Xu."
Xu Si'an turned and walked towards the emergency exit, with Qiao Xu following behind.
He even turned back to tell them to finish the cake so as not to waste it.
The sounds of men's leather shoes and women's high heels mingled together.
Qiao Xu lagged behind by two steps, looking down at the tips of her shoes.
Xu Si'an stopped and turned around, and she bumped into him unexpectedly, falling backward.
The man swiftly hooked his arm around her waist, pulled her back, and pinned her against the stair railing: "I cheated on you?"
Qiao Xu's soul almost flew out of her head in fright.
His tone was irritated: "If you want me to die, just say so."
"I cheated on you?"
Xu Si'an's dark eyes were filled with coldness and anger.
He has no idea that the reason he was dumped was because he cheated on him.
"Don't you have any idea whether you've cheated on me or not?"
Xu Si'an pinched Qiao Xu's chin: "Your mouth really deserves to be poked."
After they met again, she kept swearing at him.
It gets dirtier each time.
"Explain clearly, when did I cheat on you?"
He pinned Qiao Xu against the stair railing; with just a gentle push, she would be crippled or killed.
Xu Si'an looks a bit... not quite normal right now.
"Shouldn't Mr. Xu's focus be on something else?"
"You should have heard me say that you can't do it."
Xu Si'an's face was cold. As he leaned closer to her, his thin lips brushed against her cheek: "Whether I'm capable or not can be verified at any time, but the claim that I cheated on her is a fabrication, you know that?"
Qiao Xu turned her head away, saying, "I didn't spread rumors. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Then you definitely have something wrong with your eyes. I'll personally take you to see an eye doctor during your next physical exam."
Qiao Xu got angry and grabbed his collar, pushing him against the wall in the stairwell: "My eyesight is perfect, I can't mistake what I see with my own eyes."
“Xu Si’an, you looked so beautiful when you accompanied her to try on wedding dresses.”
"Who did I accompany? Qiao Xu, you need to explain yourself clearly."
Qiao Xu left Xu Si'an alone in the stairwell and went back to her office.
I received flight information from Song Jia.
"Assistant Song, what does this mean?"
"Sister Xu, Mr. Xu needs to fly to the Los Angeles headquarters to sign the overseas joint venture deal. I have things to do and can't get away, so you'll have to go with Mr. Xu."
Qiao Xu pursed her lips: "I'll handle things in Luocheng for you. You go with President Xu. It's inconvenient for me, a woman, to go on a business trip with him."
Song Jia saw the man standing at the door.
"Sister Xu, President Xu doesn't need anyone to take care of him. He just needs to handle his work. The other company in Luocheng has assigned me to follow up on things, so..."
Qiao Xu knew the rules of the industry and didn't make things difficult for her.
"Okay, then send me a document detailing what's happening in Los Angeles and Mr. Xu's daily routine."
Before the meeting, Qiao Xu stood outside the conference room answering a phone call: "Mom, I know. I'll consider the marriage. But no, I have to go on a business trip this week."
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Okay, okay, you can arrange it."
"Okay, Mom, go to sleep early. Goodnight."
She bumped into the man's arms as she turned around after hanging up the phone.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu."
But Xu Si'an wasn't going to let her off the hook: "Want to get married?"
Qiao Xu nodded: "Yes, my mother is anxious to find a son-in-law, and she keeps urging me to get one every day."
How am I?
Qiao Xu chuckled softly, "You're not worthy of my attention."
During the final late-night meeting, Xu Si'an was completely out of sorts, constantly spacing out, and his face looked terrible.
Song Jia, who was chairing the meeting, was on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, since Xu Si'an had to go to Los Angeles in person, the details could be finalized there.
Just as everyone was packing up to leave work, Qiao Xu's wrist was grabbed again.
"Everyone can go home now, Xiao Song, you too, don't wait for me."
After packing his things, Song Jia reminded him, "President Xu, you don't have any scheduled activities tomorrow, so you should get some rest. You haven't been sleeping much lately."
Xu Si'an nodded slightly.
Qiao Xu slammed the notebook shut: "President Xu has grabbed my hand under the conference table time and time again, which has caused me a lot of trouble."
"I hope you will approve my resignation as soon as possible."
"Back from Los Angeles."
Qiao Xu pried his hands away: "I remember what you said."
Xu Si'an loosened his tie in frustration: "Qiao Xu, make your point clear today."
"There's nothing to say. Doesn't Mr. Xu know what he's done?"
