“I am glad that we are on the same page.” He smiled a little. His smile looked very nice.
“I have a request for you and I hope you can do it.” Lu Man looked up at him.
Pei Xiuyuan was waiting to listen to her request.
“Be loyal in the marriage!” This was her only request.
Pei Xiuyuan was quite happy upon hearing this. It meant that she cared for him, wanted to keep him to herself. But who knew…
“If someday, you meet someone whom you truly love, you can tell me. I will give you my earnest blessing. Just don’t be a two-timer.” She could never tolerate betrayal. If he did not like her and did not want her anymore, he could just tell her and she would let him go. She just did not want to be made a fool and for him to abuse her trust for him!
Pei Xiuyuan’s heart felt heavy. She still cared about the other person. She had not overcome her pain.
However, this was not the main reason why he was unhappy. He was unhappy because she could give him up so easily. He did not want to be a dispensable thing for her.
Lu Man continued, “I will do that too. I will be one hundred percent loyal in our marriage!”
“If I don’t leave you, you will not leave me?” His eyes were fixed upon her.
Lu Man looked at him. She could not say a word.
‘I will not leave you if you don’t leave me.’ She had read it in books. It was a commitment one would give to her most beloved person. It meant that he had given his all to her, and if he still loved her, she will forever be his.
But if she did not love him, he would not love her anymore.
She also did not want to put herself in others’ hands and that her emotions were controlled by the other party. She might be pushed off the cliff at any time. She did not want to suffer the same kind of pain again.
She kept silent.
His eyes darkened. She did not say anything after some time so he looked away.
The silence stiffened the tension in the air.
Pei Xiuyuan looked back at Lu Man. Her head was still hanging down and she did not say anything. He gently lifted her chin and stared into her eyes.
Looking into his eyes, Lu Man was flustered. She did not dare to look into his eyes so she looked away.
“My dear wife, look at me.” His voice was gentle, but it carried a demanding tone that could not be refused.
Lu Man could not escape anymore, so she could only meet his eyes.
“Someday I will make you say yes.” His tone was still soft, but it felt like a heavy mountain pressing on her.
She knew what he was talking about. She wanted to escape but did not know how.
Not knowing what to say, she just kept silent.
One week passed.
The online business Lu Man ran was mainly to help people audit their financing records. She just checked for any problems in the accounts when someone sent her one. The workload was too meager. She had only received a total of three orders from the beginning until now, and the pay was very low.
Pei Xiuyuan had given her a black card three days ago so she was not worried about having no money to spend, but it was not her money. She did not want to be a dependent person.
When people were bored, they had no spirit and would not feel like doing anything.
One day, after dinner, Pei Xiuyuan went to get some business done. She turned on the TV and aimlessly switched channels.
Pei Xiuyuan saw what she was doing so he walked forward and embraced her.
Since he always found chances to caress her in any kind of situation, she had gotten used with his intimate touches and her body was no longer as stiff as it was before.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing,” Lu Man answered habitually.
Pei Xiuyuan sighed. “Your face showed that you have something bothering you but you tell me that it’s nothing. Do you really see me as your husband?”
Knowing that he was a bit angry, Lu Man quickly explained, “I am really alright. I am just too bored!”
“So you want to look for a job?” Pei Xiuyuan already saw through her earlier, but he did not say anything because he did not want her to go to work. But he could not bear seeing her being so bored now.
“Yes.”
“Our company just happened to have an accountant leaving. Do you want to try it?” He wanted to let her work but still under his wings.
Just happened to leave…
It was such a coincidence. Lu Man naturally would not believe him.
“I do not want someone to lose his job because of me.” She would not accept a job like that through the back door.
“My wife, you overthink.”
Lu Man pouted. “How can there be such a coincidence?”
“It really is. An accountant in our company is pregnant so she is leaving. I did not approve her resignation yet because I have not found a suitable replacement. You are actually helping her if you take the job.”
“Why would a CEO like you be concerned about the affairs of a small department?”
“My wife, you simply do not believe in your husband.” Pei Xiuyuan was a little disappointed. He seemed to be not a trustworthy person to his wife.
Lu Man was speechless.
She just could not believe that it was just a coincidence.
“My dear wife, would you be willing to help that poor woman?”
“Uhm…” Working with him in the same company, everyone would know that she was the wife of the CEO. Then, would she be able to work happily?
“My wife, you know that the finance department is the core department in the company. I need someone reliable to work there. Can you help your husband, please?”
Hearing this, if Lu Man refused again, she would be too sorry for the fact that they were a couple.
“I do not wish for people to know our relationship.”
“So you want to keep our relationship a secret?” Pei Xiuyuan cocked his eyebrows.
Lu Man felt helpless. “I just do not want to have such a high profile. Don’t you want to get a reliable person? If everyone knows that I am the wife of the CEO, how can I work properly?”
Pei Xiuyuan looked down, then raised his eyebrows. “It makes sense, let’s make it that way.”
“Okay.” Lu Man was very happy for being able to convince him.
After a while.
“So what identity should I use to join the company?” Pei Enterprise was very hard to get into. Many a time, more than one hundred people would apply for just a single position. She had tried to apply for the accounting position in Pei Enterprise before, but was rejected in the first stage of selection because of her education qualifications.
“What do you think?”
“What about being a friend of that pregnant woman?” This could help her keep a low profile and it suited her way of landing a job with a parachute.
“Okay.”
Pei Xiuyuan was quick in his action. He used only one day to get Lu Man into the company. Now she was being introduced to her colleagues by the manager.
“Li Fen, help her to get to know her new colleagues!”
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site OnlyLi Fen, the pregnant woman Pei Xiuyuan had mentioned, was his friend’s sister. Lu Man came in as Li Fen’s friend, so naturally she would be the one introducing her to the others. They had met two days ago and chatted. Since they got along very well, they had really became friends.
“She is my good friend, Lu Man. She will be our colleague in the future. Please help me take good care of her!” Li Fen introduced her to everyone.
Since Li Fen’s identity was a little special, everyone was very kind to her. They would definitely be kind to Lu Man as well.
Therefore, there would be no such thing as being bullied as a newcomer.
However, deep down, they still secretly looked down on her.
