Back at his work station, Xiao Jiang clicked on the [Assist Squad] group chat. The boss was not in this one. The group with the boss in it was called [Wedding Front Row Squad].

He looked at the group name again to confirm that he had read it correctly and let them know: [Sister Luo has accepted another person’s suit. Chief Jiang will probably not be in a good mood these days. You all should take care.]

[Luo Qi’s decision to apply for Ruipu Medical Treatment should be related to Chief Jiang.]

[What do you mean, was Chief Jiang’s confession rejected?]

[Eight out of ten. Maybe even nine. Otherwise, who would want to go to Ruipu?]

Although her salary as the General Manager for Ruipu would be higher than Luo Qi’s current salary, she would be far away from the center of power in Yuanwei Group. Everyone wanted to go to Yuanwei Medical because it was a company founded by Chief Jiang himself with great effort—but Ruipu was different. It was a direct competitor of Yuanwei Medical that Chief Jiang acquired to remove from Yuanwei Medical’s path and the intention was always to let it fend for itself.

There was no future in going to Ruipu.

[There is also Shu Rui. Everyone in the industry knows that Shu Rui has a deep mind. He seems to be easy to talk to, but he is actually the most difficult person to talk to.]

Xiao Jiang has dealt with people like Shu Rui who speaks impeccably and makes people feel like a spring breeze was blowing, giving people the illusion that they were easy to get along with, but in fact they were really not.

He was good at making people feel like they’re hitting cotton with every punch, but he himself didn’t make any mistake.

Xiao Jiang asked: [Chief Jiang really agreed to Sister Luo going?]

[He should have. Didn’t he take Sister Luo to Ruipu last week?]

Xiao Jiang didn’t know this: [Then maybe it happened when I was away from the company at that time.]

He discussed with them: [What should I do with the name of our old work group chat?]

Now that things have come to this, [Wedding Front Row Squad] was really heartbreaking.

Secretary Ju should not have chosen this name in the first place.

Others were silent, this was indeed a hot potato; he couldn’t throw it away, and he would be burned to death if it’s kept in his hands.

Someone joked: [Shouldn’t we worry about ourselves the most? We know Chief Jiang’s secret.]

“…”

There was a message notification from the [Wedding Front Row Squad], and Xiao Jiang hurriedly opened it.

Jiang Shenghe had given each of them a big red envelope and sent: [“Thank you for your hard work this year.”]

[Chief Jiang, you are too polite.]

The words from the rest of the team were all in a similar vein.

Several people accepted the red envelopes and thanked him.

Jiang Shenghe added a long message: [Assistant Luo will receive a new appointment soon and a new colleague will join the President’s Office. The plan was not able to keep up with the changes. I promised you that you would sit in the front row of my wedding. Right now, I don’t know when the wedding will be held. It may be a few years later or it may be very soon. I don’t know for sure. Regardless of whether you are still in Yuanwei at that time or not, as long as you are willing to participate, this promise will always be valid. Thank you all for keeping this secret for me without revealing it or causing any trouble to Assistant Lou. From now on, you don’t have to worry about my personal affairs. This group will no longer be maintained.]

Seeing the words ‘plan not able to keep up with changes’, ‘my wedding’, ‘I don’t know…’, it seemed that they had guessed it right: Luo Qi rejected the boss. The boss may still get married, but this wedding would just be for him and would no longer involve Luo Qi.

If there was still hope to be with Luo Qi, the boss would not disband the group.

Xiao Jiang wanted to say a few more words, but before he had even typed half of it, he received news from the system that the [Wedding Front Row Squad] was deleted.

At that moment, Xiao Jiang’s heart went cold.

The tavern where they had that group dinner before was recommended by his wife, who was very sentimental. She heard that the boss had been secretly in love for so many years, and she was moved.

He sent a message to his wife: [The CP you are addicted to… BE.]¹

Luo Qi carried the flowers back to her office, picked up the card and looked at the three written numbers again. They looked like Jiang Shenghe’s handwriting… but not quite. She put down the card and went to find Jiang Shenghe, but she couldn’t begin to guess why he wanted to give her these.

She had just approached and before she could knock on the door, Jiang Shenghe’s voice already reached her, “No need to knock.” He signaled to her, “Close the door.”

To be on the safe side, Luo Qi asked clearly, “Chief. Jiang, did you order that bouquet? If not, I will ask the front desk to help handle it for me.”

Now that she was his legal wife, she will only accept flowers from him.

“I sent it.”

Jiang Shenghe took out a kraft paper envelope from the drawer. The envelope was bulging and seemed to contain a lot of odds and ends.

He put the envelope on the table. “I’ll give you a copy of the villa’s access card, the spare key for the code lock, and the key to my safe.”

It’s hard for him to ask her to live there right now. It didn’t matter; he could wait until she has adapted to their relationship and didn’t instinctively reject it anymore.

“Keep it. This way, you don’t have to ask me for the keys when you want to go there someday.”

Jiang Shenghe looked at her and said, “Luo Qi, we are married. We are husband and wife. This is also your home now.”

Luo Qi didn’t hesitate anymore. In truth, she also wanted to take care of this relationship and treat it seriously.

She took the envelope; it was unexpectedly heavy.

She had to keep reminding herself all the time that the boss in front of her—who never shows his joys or sorrow on his face but was always strong and a bit cold—was her husband, the person she would spend the rest of her life with from now on.

She also wanted to give him a small gift, but even after thinking about it for a few days, she couldn’t think of anything suitable.

“Do you have plans tonight?” Jiang Sheng asked her before he made other arrangements.

Luo Qi said thoughtfully, “Yes.”

Jiang Shenghe didn’t mention the date again. She has stayed with him from morning until night. She probably wants to have her own space.
