Even though he knew Huo Xiao was protecting him, Lin Ye was still worried and would rush to the garment factory every day after get off work.
You have to cherish your own wife!
That Huo Xiao looks young, like a little brother, but his wife is becoming more and more charming, so he has to be careful.
After a few days, Lu Wanqing got used to it. As long as it didn't interfere with his work, it was nice for the couple to leave work together.
That day, Lin Ye arrived at the factory gate as usual, but he did not see Lu Wanqing.
At that moment, she was holding an emergency meeting in her office and couldn't get away for the time being.
Lin Ye asked the gatekeeper and, after learning that she hadn't left yet, waited quietly to the side.
Huaihua was sitting on the back of Wang Yong's bicycle, heading to dinner, when she saw his forlorn figure.
She patted Wang Yong on the back, signaling him to stop the car, and then asked him to wait on the side before walking towards Lin Ye.
"You must be my brother-in-law?" Huaihua smiled radiantly.
Lin Ye frowned, looked around to make sure the person was speaking to him, and then said coldly:
"Comrade, we don't know each other, don't shout nonsense here!"
Huaihua covered her mouth and laughed even harder, "I'm Chunhua's younger sister, Huaihua. I just started working at the factory recently. It's understandable that you haven't seen me before and don't recognize me."
From now on, we're acquainted. Brother-in-law, are you waiting for our factory manager to get off work again?
After a brief self-introduction, Lin Ye finally realized who the person in front of him was, and his expression softened a little.
After overhearing the discussion among the sisters that day, he had put the matter out of his mind. Unexpectedly, she came over to say hello herself.
"Yes, they're probably delayed by something and haven't come down yet."
Originally, the two weren't close, and a simple greeting would have sufficed, but Huaihua suddenly gave a wicked grin and said in a cheeky tone:
"Brother-in-law, you're such a good man, picking me up from work and dropping me off. Why doesn't Sister Wanqing appreciate it? She's always keeping that pretty boy by her side, and they're really getting along. Last time you risked your life to save her, I would have thought they were so close!"
The sound wasn't loud, but every word penetrated Lin Ye's ears.
He clenched his fists, wanting to grab her collar, but he restrained his temper and warned her with a dark face:
"What are you saying? What kind of employee talks about their boss like that? Does your sister Chunhua know how foul-mouthed you are outside?"
Huaihua was intimidated by his imposing aura and took a half step back, but pretended to be innocent.
"Brother-in-law, I'm just trying to be helpful! The factory workers are all saying it, it's not just me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard across the face.
"I've never liked hitting women, but if someone's mouth is too foul, I have to make an exception!"
Remember this: my wife and I have a great relationship, and you won't easily sow discord with a few words. If you want to keep working at the factory, you'd better watch your mouth.
Huaihua covered her face and glared at him angrily.
"Hmph, you've wasted my kindness!"
After saying that, she ran away. Although she had been slapped, she was very pleased with herself. What man could remain indifferent to the fact that his wife had cheated on him? She was just waiting for the couple to start arguing!
She ran to Wang Yong's side. When Wang Yong saw the finger marks on her face, he asked her with concern what happened. Of course, she couldn't say that she had been beaten for talking nonsense, so she just had to lie and get away with it.
She didn't need to say much to Wang Yong; after all, he was just a temporary meal ticket.
Lin Ye waited for a while, and then Lu Wanqing came out in a hurry.
"Have you been waiting long? There was an emergency meeting that took up so much time," she quickly apologized.
Lin Ye smiled and ruffled her hair, then got on his bike.
"Let's go home. Dad's coming over for dinner today, and they're already cooking. It's okay if we're a little late."
"Really? I can eat Dad's fish again. He knows Mom loves fish, so he makes it whenever he has time." Lu Wanqing smiled and got on her bike to ride alongside him.
The two returned to the entrance of the courtyard house, but Lin Ye suddenly stopped, looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
“Wife, while I was waiting for you, Huaihua came to see me and said some bad things about you. I think you should be more careful with her in the future, and don’t let her ruin your reputation.”
Actually, she had noticed that he was in a bad mood the whole way and had been waiting for him to speak.
So that's what it was about. She told Huo Xiao to pay more attention to Huaihua, how could she not know that Huaihua was secretly gossiping about him behind his back?
However, other clothing factories suddenly launched a large number of new women's summer clothes, which seized the market, catching her off guard and leaving her no time to argue with her!
"Tell me, how did she ruin my reputation?" she provocatively asked.
She never expected that while other men would be furious upon hearing that their wives were having an affair with another man, he could be so patient and only care about whether her reputation was damaged.
Lin Ye's face flushed slightly, and he stammered a little:
"So you mean your relationship with Huo Xiao... isn't simple."
"Honey, I trust you. He saved you last time; it was his duty as a bodyguard. I won't overthink it."
Yeah, right!
Lu Wanqing chuckled. Lin Ye's awkward demeanor reminded her of when she first went back to find him, when he was shy and domineering.
She quickly hugged his waist, buried her head in his chest, rubbed her face against him, and murmured:
"My husband is so amazing, how could I possibly fall for another man, let alone a little kid!"
Actually, from what I've observed, that child, who has grown up like that and works as a bodyguard, must have an unusual background. I just wanted to find out what he was up to that I kept him by my side.
Lu Wanqing's explanation finally put Lin Ye's mind at ease. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her haphazardly, as if he could never get enough of her.
"I knew my wife only had eyes for me!" he boasted again.
This scene was witnessed by Lin Chunhua, who was returning home from get off work, along with Meng Hui beside her.
Oh dear, these two, they should go inside to kiss. What are they doing cuddling at the front door? Do they even want to eat dinner? They're already full from eating all this dog food.
Lin Chunhua, feeling a little embarrassed, sent Meng Hui away before meeting the two of them and going back to the house together.
Lu Wanqing didn't intend to hide the matter of the locust flowers from Lin Chunhua. During the break before dinner, she gave her a heads-up.
“Wanqing, Huaihua and I have always been distant. You can punish her however you like. Her crying to me won’t do any good,” Lin Chunhua stated her position.
With those words, Lu Wanqing felt more confident.
She didn't want to ruin her relationship with the locust flowers because of this.
Lin Chunhua helped manage the clothing store with all her heart; you certainly wouldn't feel as at ease hiring any outsider.
She had already made up her mind how to punish Huaihua.
