The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 83 Happy Times

Zhong Yuxuan's breathing was a little rapid, his deep eyes were full of worry, he grabbed my hand and said anxiously: "Luo Xue, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

I was confused by his sudden nervousness. I gently pulled my hand back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm working in the company, what could have happened? But you, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

He seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He took a deep breath and slowly relaxed his tense body. His eyes were filled with self-blame. "I... I saw the news. Those reporters were really too much. They actually ran to the door of the company to block you and asked those messed up questions..."

It turned out that he was worried that I would be embarrassed by the reporters. My heart warmed, and I smiled and shook my head: "I'm fine, I have dealt with those questions, don't worry."

Since we made our relationship public, reporters have been stalking us like cats smelling blood, trying to dig out some explosive news. Fortunately, Zhong Yuxuan was well prepared, and the security at the company entrance was also strengthened, so I was not scared by the "long guns and short guns" of those reporters.

"That's good, that's good..." He repeated this sentence, and his clenched fists slowly loosened, as if a huge stone in his heart had been put down.

Seeing how nervous he was, I couldn't help but joke, "Why, Mr. Zhong, are you afraid of those reporters?"

He looked at me, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Of course I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that you will be scared."

My heart was filled with sweetness, and my cheeks felt slightly hot because of his doting tone.

In the days that followed, we were immersed in a sweet love atmosphere. We would stroll in the park together after get off work, enjoying the rare tranquility and warmth; we would also drive to the suburbs on weekends to breathe fresh air and feel the charm of nature. The haze and misunderstandings of the past gradually dissipated in each other's company and understanding.

After my best friend Qin Xue learned about my happiness, she specially held a small celebration party for us. At the party, the blessings and laughter of friends filled the whole room, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Looking at the lively scene in front of me, my heart is filled with gratitude and joy. After going through so many ups and downs, I finally found my own happiness.

However, just when I thought everything would be fine, Zhong Yuxuan's father, Mr. Zhong Shuhao, suddenly asked to meet me. This news made me feel a little uneasy. I didn't know what his purpose was in meeting me this time, and I didn't know what was waiting for me...

Mr. Zhong Shuhao asked me to meet him in a stylish teahouse. When I arrived, he was already sitting there, with a set of exquisite tea sets in front of him. The aroma of tea was wafting in the air, but it couldn't cover up his aura of authority without anger. I twisted my fingers nervously, sat down opposite him, and whispered, "Uncle Zhong."

He looked up at me, his face expressionless, and said calmly: "Don't be shy, try this tea."

I picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea spread in my mouth, with a hint of sweetness amidst the bitterness. I secretly observed Zhong Shuhao, trying to figure out his thoughts from his expression, but he always looked indifferent, making it hard to figure out.

"I already know about you and Yuxuan." He put down the teacup, his tone calm, but it was like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake of my heart, stirring up a thousand waves.

I clenched my fists nervously, not knowing what to say.

"I was wrong before," he suddenly sighed, with a hint of guilt in his tone, "I mistook fish eyes for pearls, ignored you, and hurt Yuxuan."

I looked up in surprise, unable to believe my ears. Zhong Shuhao actually apologized to me?

"I know that nothing I say now can make up for my past mistakes," he looked at me with sincere eyes, "but I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you again."

I stared at him blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment. He actually invited me to have dinner at the Zhong family? You know, this was something I had never dared to think about before.

That night, I arrived at the Zhong family with a trepidation. Zhong Shuhao was amiable and kind, completely different from the cold and distant person he had been before. He held my hand, asked about my well-being like he was treating his own daughter, and even asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that I liked.

During the dinner, Zhong Yuxuan held my hand all the time, his eyes gentle but firm. I knew that I had finally gained the approval of his family.

After that, Zhong Yuxuan and I appeared in the public eye more openly. We attended charity dinners together and donated money and materials to children in mountainous areas; we visited lonely elderly people together and brought them warmth and care... We proved with practical actions that our love was not based on money and interests, but came from sincere and kind hearts.

However, happy times are always short-lived. On a starry night, we drove to the outskirts of the city to camp. Looking at the starry sky, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly knelt on one knee and took out an exquisite box from his pocket...

"Luo Xue," he looked at me affectionately, with stars twinkling in his eyes, "Marry me, okay?"

I covered my mouth, tears welling up in my eyes. At that moment, the stars in the sky seemed to have turned into sparkling diamonds, surrounding me in the light of happiness. I nodded vigorously, choking and unable to speak. He gently put the ring on my ring finger, a dazzling diamond ring, just like the shining love between us.

That night, we snuggled in the tent, counting the stars in the sky and expressing our love for each other. I have never been so happy as I was at that moment, as if I owned the whole world.

After returning home, I began to seriously think about our future. I knew that with my current ability, I was not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhong Yuxuan. I couldn't always be a protected little bird. I wanted to be an eagle that flew with him.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yuxuan saw me sitting by the window in a daze, and came over and gently hugged me.

"I'm wondering if I should learn some business management knowledge," I turned to look at him, with a determined light in my eyes, "I hope I can help you in the future."

He was slightly stunned, then smiled with satisfaction, "It's enough that you have this intention, but learning management is not an easy thing. Have you really thought it through?"

"Well," I nodded vigorously, "I have decided that I want to be a better person and worthy of you."

In this way, with the support and encouragement of Zhong Yuxuan, I began a busy study life. I went to the company to observe and learn during the day, and studied various management books at night. Although it was hard, I enjoyed it because I knew that everything I did was for our future.

I was like a sponge, greedily absorbing new knowledge. Zhong Yuxuan also often took time out to guide me. He always patiently explained various business cases to me and helped me analyze market trends. With his help, I made rapid progress and gained a deeper understanding of business management.

I know that there are still many challenges waiting for us in the future, but I am ready. I will study hard and keep growing to become a strong woman who can fight alongside him.

"There is a business dinner next Saturday. Please come with me." Zhong Yuxuan suddenly said to me that day.

I hesitated, "But..."

"I know what you're worried about," he interrupted me with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you've been studying for so long, I believe you can do it."

I took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I'll go."

I have a feeling that this dinner will be an important turning point, and I am ready to meet the challenge...

On Saturday night, I put on the dress that Zhong Yuxuan specially picked for me, stood in front of the mirror, and took a deep breath. The light blue dress set off my fair skin, and the rhinestones on the skirt sparkled under the light, elegant and lively.

"Very beautiful." Zhong Yuxuan walked behind me at some point, gently hugged me from behind, and there was a hint of appreciation in his gentle voice.

I turned and smiled at him, "Let's go."

The banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses, elegantly dressed people, and business celebrities gathered together. I held Zhong Yuxuan's arm and tried to keep a decent smile, but I couldn't hide my inner nervousness.

Zhong Yuxuan seemed to see my uneasiness, and he gently squeezed my hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'll take care of everything."

His words and eyes gave me great encouragement. I gradually relaxed and began to observe everything around me, listen carefully to people's conversations, and occasionally express my own opinions. To my surprise, my words attracted a lot of praise from people, and even several seniors took the initiative to exchange business cards with me, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

"I didn't expect that our Luo Xue also has a business acumen." Zhong Yuxuan joked on the side.

"Of course, don't you see whose girlfriend she is?" I replied with a smile, a confident light shining from my eyes.

After the dinner, Zhong Yuxuan did not take me directly home, but drove to an open space in the suburbs.

"Remember this place?" he said, pointing to a patch of grass not far away.

I thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, "This is... the place where we first met?"

"That's right," Zhong Yuxuan's lips curled up into a gentle smile, "That day you were like a frightened deer, rushing into my arms in a panic."

I couldn't help but blush and said angrily, "It's all in the past, why are you still bringing it up?"

We sat side by side on the grass, looking up at the starry sky, recalling every bit of the past, from our initial meeting to our later knowing and loving each other, a journey filled with laughter and tears.

"Luo Xue," Zhong Yuxuan suddenly looked at me affectionately, "Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."

I snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth, my heart filled with happiness and sweetness.

However, just when everything seemed perfect, the arrival of an anonymous letter broke the peace. There was only a thin piece of paper in the envelope with a line of words written on it: Do you want to know your life experience?

My heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over me...

The anonymous letter was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. I stroked the thin piece of paper repeatedly, but the short line of words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, weighing me down and making me breathless.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yuxuan noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I hurriedly stuffed the letter into my pocket and forced a smile: "Nothing, just remembered something about work."

He didn't ask any more questions, but just stroked my hair gently and said softly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We can face anything together."

I nodded, but I felt even more uneasy. The letter asked, "Do you want to know your life story?" Is there a secret about my life story? Was the life I had always believed in a lie from the beginning?

In the following days, I was always uneasy, the contents of the anonymous letter were like a nightmare that I couldn't get rid of. I didn't dare to tell Zhong Yuxuan, because I was afraid that he would worry, and I was even more afraid that I would lose my current happiness after knowing the truth.

I began to inquire about my life experience intentionally or unintentionally, but my adoptive parents had passed away many years ago and the neighbors around me knew very little about my life experience. I felt like I was groping in the fog and couldn't find any direction.

Just when I was about to give up, another anonymous letter arrived. This time, there was a photo in the envelope. The photo showed a girl of my age, with eyes and eyebrows that looked a bit like mine. Next to her stood a graceful and elegant woman. The look in that woman's eyes made me feel strangely familiar...
