The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 22 Happy Times

Yuxuan did not return home all night.

The morning sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, but my heart was still heavy. The anxiety and fear of last night were like vines entwined around me, making it difficult for me to breathe.

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang, and I thought it was Yuxuan coming back. I ran to open the door in surprise, but saw Qin Xue standing at the door with breakfast in her hand.

"Why are you here? Where is Yuxuan?" I asked, unable to hide my disappointment.

"He was called away by Uncle Zhong early in the morning, saying that there were important matters to deal with at the company." Qin Xue said as she changed her shoes, "Don't worry, he specifically asked me to come and accompany you, and even bought you your favorite breakfast."

I took the breakfast, but it was tasteless. Yuxuan's abnormal behavior made me feel uneasy. The content of the mysterious phone call and his hurried departure reminded me that something was happening quietly, and I was kept in the dark.

"Luo Xue, stop imagining things. Look at you, your frown could kill a fly." Qin Xue saw my anxiety and said jokingly, "Come, let me tell you a joke..."

Before Qin Xue finished her joke, my cell phone rang.

"dad……"

It was Zhong Shuhao calling.

I hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Luo Xue, is it convenient for you to come to the hospital now? I have something to tell you." Zhong Shuhao's voice sounded a little tired.

My heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to Yuxuan?

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

I hurried to the hospital and saw Zhong Shuhao sitting in the ward. His face was pale, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" I asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I just figured out some things." Zhong Shuhao looked at me, his eyes full of apology, "Luo Xue, I was wrong before. I had many misunderstandings about you and did many things that hurt you. I hope you can forgive me."

I was stunned. I didn't expect him to apologize to me out of the blue.

"Dad, don't say that. Let the past be the past." I was a little at a loss.

Zhong Shuhao nodded and continued, "Luo Xue, after you and Yuxuan got married, I was always worried that you would be like my ex-wife, who married into the Zhong family just for money. But during this time, I saw your sincerity and kindness, and the sincere feelings between you and Yuxuan. I finally understood that you really love him, just like he loves you."

Hearing this, my eyes were moist. I never expected to get Zhong Shuhao's approval, but his words made me feel unprecedented warmth and touched.

"Dad, Yuxuan and I truly love each other, and we will be together forever." I said firmly.

"Okay, okay." Zhong Shuhao smiled with relief, "I believe you. Luo Xue, we are a family from now on. You can tell me anything, okay?"

I nodded, my heart filled with gratitude and hope. Perhaps, the relationship between me and the Zhong family can really change slowly from now on, just as Zhong Shuhao said...

"By the way, Luo Xue, I have an idea and would like to ask for your opinion..." Zhong Shuhao's voice brought me back to reality.

"Dad, what do you think?" I asked curiously, but I was wondering in my heart, could it be about the company?

"It's like this," Zhong Shuhao paused, "You know, since you married into the Zhong family, our family hasn't had a good gathering. I think, why don't we take advantage of the weekend and go on a picnic in the suburbs together, what do you think?"

I was a little surprised, but more of a delight. Ever since I married Yuxuan, I have been eager to truly integrate into this family, and Zhong Shuhao's proposal undoubtedly gave me hope.

"Great! I'm looking forward to it!" I said excitedly, and couldn't wait to tell Yuxuan the good news.

"That's settled! I'll arrange the time and place and notify you then." Zhong Shuhao also showed a rare smile on his face.

After leaving the hospital, I immediately called Yuxuan and told him the good news. He was silent for a moment, then said gently, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange the time."

Although it was just a short sentence, I could feel the joy and anticipation in his tone.

The weekend in the suburbs was sunny and breezy. Our family came to a green meadow with rich food and laughter.

Zhong Shuhao prepared the barbecue grill himself, and Yuxuan helped to light the fire. Qin Xue and I spread out the picnic blanket and placed various fruits and snacks.

"Luo Xue, you are so lucky to marry such a good man like Yuxuan." Qin Xue teased with a smile while arranging the fruits.

My cheeks were slightly red, but my heart was sweet. Indeed, meeting Yuxuan and getting his love is the greatest luck in my life.

"You should find a boyfriend as soon as possible and stop worrying about me all day long." I joked with a smile.

"Alas, I just haven't met the right one yet!" Qin Xue sighed helplessly.

We chatted while preparing our picnic. Soon, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, making us salivate.

"Come, try my cooking!" Zhong Shuhao handed us the grilled skewers.

"Wow! It smells so good!" I couldn't wait to pick up a skewer and take a bite. The meat was tender and fragrant. It was simply delicious!

"Dad, your cooking skills are top-notch!" Yuxuan also praised with a smile.

In this way, our family sat on the grass, enjoying the food and chatting, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After this picnic, Zhong Shuhao seemed to have developed a strong interest in family gatherings. He began to take the initiative to organize various activities, such as family game nights, weekend movie theaters, and so on.

Qin Xue also became a frequent visitor to our home. She always brought all kinds of fresh and interesting games and topics, adding a lot of laughter to our family gatherings.

At a family gathering, Zhong Shuhao suddenly suggested: "Luo Xue, you are bored at home every day, why don't you come to the company to help me?"

I was stunned for a moment. Before I could answer, Yuxuan said, "Dad, Luo Xue doesn't know much about the company..."

"It's okay, I can teach her slowly." Zhong Shuhao interrupted Yuxuan and looked at me with burning eyes, "Luo Xue, what do you think?"

I felt mixed emotions, both surprised and expectant...

Zhong Shuhao's proposal surprised me and made me a little nervous. Although I had no business experience, deep down I also wanted to be independent and share some of the pressure with Yuxuan.

"I..." I hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

"Dad, Luo Xue knows nothing about the company's affairs. You will put a lot of pressure on her by doing this." Yuxuan saw my dilemma and came to my rescue.

"Yes, uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well and fail to live up to your expectations." I followed Yuxuan's words.

"What's so difficult about this? I can teach you!" Zhong Shuhao seemed determined to let me join the company. "Yuxuan, you too, how can you look down on your wife like that? I believe Luo Xue can do it!"

Looking at Zhong Shuhao's expectant eyes, my heart warmed, and I secretly made up my mind to study hard and live up to their expectations.

So, under Zhong Shuhao's arrangement, I began to receive systematic corporate management training. At first, I felt very overwhelmed by those boring reports and complex business models. But whenever I wanted to give up, Yuxuan would always patiently encourage me, study with me, and help me analyze problems.

"Don't worry, take your time, I believe you can do it." Yuxuan always said to me so gently.

His encouragement and companionship gave me endless motivation. I began to try to understand the meaning behind those seemingly boring numbers, learn how to make a reasonable business plan, and how to conduct effective marketing.

In addition to learning business management knowledge, Yuxuan often took me to some business gatherings and charity events. In these occasions, I came into contact with many business elites and celebrities, and learned a lot from them about how to behave and how to operate business.

I remember one time, we attended a charity dinner for children in mountainous areas. At the dinner, Yuxuan generously donated a large sum of money, and his good deed won applause from everyone present.

"Yuxuan, you are awesome!" I exclaimed sincerely.

"It's nothing. I just do my best and hope to help the children in need." Yuxuan said modestly.

That night, we delivered the donated materials to the children in the mountainous areas. Looking at the innocent smiles of the children, my heart was filled with warmth and touching.

"Thank you, Yuxuan, for giving me the opportunity to participate in such a meaningful thing." I held Yuxuan's hand tightly and said gratefully.

"Silly boy, we are husband and wife, we should support each other and make progress together." Yuxuan looked at me gently, his eyes full of love.

This charity event not only brought us happiness and touched us, but also deepened our relationship. I increasingly feel that Yuxuan is not only my lover, but also my mentor and helpful friend. He always gives me strength and support, allowing me to continue to grow.

And I am looking forward to being able to stand on my own as soon as possible, share the pressure with Yuxuan, fight side by side with him, and create our future together.

That night, the Zhong family held a grand family dinner and invited relatives and friends to attend. As we drank and chatted, I felt an inexplicable tension and anticipation, as if something important was about to happen...

The light from the crystal chandelier fell, illuminating the table full of delicacies and laughter. I sat beside Yuxuan in the dress that he had picked out for me, feeling a little awkward.

"Everyone," Uncle Zhong suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, cleared his throat, and swept his kind eyes over everyone present, "Today, I also want to announce a happy event."

My heart skipped a beat and I subconsciously held Yuxuan's hand. He turned his head and gave me a comforting smile.

"After this period of study and practice, I believe that Luo Xue has the ability and qualities to become a member of the Zhong Group." Uncle Zhong's voice was loud and firm. "From today on, Luo Xue will officially join the Zhong Group as my special assistant. I hope everyone will support her!"

As soon as I finished speaking, applause came like a tide. I was a little flattered, but I couldn't help but burst into tears. This was not only a recognition of my ability, but also an acceptance of my integration into this family.

"Come on, wife, I believe in you!" Yuxuan said softly in my ear, with pride and love flashing in his eyes.

I nodded vigorously, my heart filled with gratitude and determination. I will work harder to live up to Yuxuan and Uncle Zhong's expectations of me, and to protect this hard-earned happiness.

After the dinner, the moonlight poured down into the courtyard garden. I held Yuxuan's arm and strolled along the cobblestone path, the evening breeze bringing bursts of floral fragrance that was refreshing.

"Are you okay? Do you feel this is too sudden?" Yuxuan stopped and gently stroked my cheek, his eyes full of concern.

"It's okay, it just feels a little sudden and I'm a little nervous." I leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "But I will try my best and will not let you and uncle down."

"Silly, I believe you." Yuxuan held me in his arms, and his gentle voice sounded in my ears, "Let's work together to make Zhong Group better, okay?"

"Yeah!" I raised my head, looked into his deep eyes, and nodded solemnly.

Under the moonlight, we hugged and kissed each other, and a sweet feeling of happiness spread in our hearts.

However, just as we were immersed in happiness, a rapid ring of the phone broke the tranquility of the night. Yuxuan took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and frowned slightly.

"Hello?" He answered the phone with a hint of impatience in his tone.

A strange and low voice came from the other end of the phone, like the whisper of a demon from hell, which made people shudder.

"Zhong Yuxuan, don't think you've won. The real game has just begun. You and everyone around you, be careful!"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

I felt Yuxuan’s body stiffen instantly, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white.

My heart was in my throat, and a bad feeling came over me...

The knuckles of Yuxuan's fingers turned white from the force with which he held the phone. I felt the air pressure around him drop a little, and a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come made me feel a little breathless.

"What's wrong?" I asked cautiously, afraid of touching his tense nerves.

He took a deep breath, put his phone back in his pocket, and tried to force a smile on his face. "It's okay. It's just a small problem at the company. Don't worry."

I knew he was deliberately hiding it, but I didn't want him to face it alone, and I didn't want to be excluded by him. "Yuxuan, we are husband and wife. No matter what happens, I want to face it with you." I held his hand, trying to pass my warmth to him and let him feel my determination.

He looked down at me, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including worry and struggle, which eventually turned into a helpless sigh. "Luo Xue, there are some things that I can handle on my own, you don't have to worry."

"But……"

"No buts." He interrupted me, his tone gentle but unquestionable, "Believe me, huh?"

I understood his concerns and knew that there were some things that were beyond my control, so I could only suppress my uneasiness and nodded.

The evening breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and dispersing the charming atmosphere just now. It seemed as if there was an invisible film between us, and we could feel each other's emotions, but we couldn't really touch each other.

In the next few days, Yuxuan became extremely busy, often leaving early and returning late, sometimes even handling official business in the study late at night. I knew he had something on his mind, but I didn't know how to ask him.

It was not until that day when Qin Xue asked me to go shopping that I learned from her that the company had recently received some anonymous emails containing negative news about Yuxuan, and even some groundless rumors.

"I suspect someone is deliberately targeting Yuxuan and wants to bring him down." Qin Xue held my hand and said worriedly, "Luo Xue, you must pay more attention to Yuxuan. He is under a lot of pressure now."

My heart tightened, and a chill ran from my feet to my heart. The content of the mysterious phone call came to my mind again. Could it be that all this was controlled by that person behind the scenes?

After returning home, I looked at Yuxuan who was busy in the study, and my heart was filled with worry and distress. I poured a cup of hot milk and gently knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

I pushed the door open and put the milk on the table. "Don't work too late. Go to bed early."

He raised his head, a smile on his tired face, "Okay, I see."

I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Yuxuan, has the company encountered any trouble recently?"

He was obviously stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, "It's no big deal, I can handle it."

"Yuxuan, we are husband and wife. I hope you can trust me and let me face it with you." My tone was firm, with unquestionable strength.

He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, telling me everything that had happened recently, including the mysterious phone call.

"I've asked someone to check, but the number is no longer in service and no information was found at all." There was a hint of powerlessness and frustration in his tone.

My heart sank, and a feeling of uneasiness spread in my heart. Who is behind all this? What is their purpose?
