My Wife is a Workaholic

After several rainy days in a row, it suddenly cleared up on the day Xishui was to be listed on the stock market.

Thousands of people in the company were waiting for this day to come. Their prolonged tiredness seemed to have disappeared instantly. Everyone was glowing like they had just eaten a legendary magical pill.

All the cameras were focused on the stage. When Zu Jin and Xu Tianqing pulled apart the red ribbon, everyone in the room applauded.

They had succeeded.

Today seemed to pass by very quickly. When the event ended and Zu Jin walked out of the building, she thought that there was a sweet smell in the air.

She stood at the side of the road and wanted to call Yan Lin and several other close friends to announce the good news.

But when she looked up, she saw Yan Lin standing under the parasol tree close by. He had his hands in his pocket and looked at her with a smile.

It was autumn. On both sides of the road, the parasol trees were rich in autumn colors, making the cold buildings around here a lot more alive.

As Zu Jin watched the tall, handsome and gentle man come closer step by step, she just had to hug him.

Over the past six months or so, the couple rarely had the opportunity to quietly hug each other. They did not like to show their affection too much outside, so it could be said that this was a very rare occasion for them showing it.

However, there was always an indiscreet guy who would appear and interrupt this couple’s happy time.

Xu Tianqing and a few colleagues were originally standing in the lounge on the first floor of the building to talk about some things. When they came out, they saw Zu Jin and Yan Lin. They immediately clapped their hands and walked towards them as they laughed.

“Look at this couple! They’re so lovey-dovey! My girlfriend is probably still sleeping at this moment. Sigh!”

Several of them were familiar with Zu Jin, so they also laughed with Xu Tianqing.

“President Yan really is a good man. My wife always asks me to learn from you, but if I don’t work and stay with her all day, who will support the family?!”

“Hahahaha…”

After these men learned of Yan Lin’s identity, they behaved very seriously.

But today, they were probably completely overjoyed by the company listing. That’s why a lot was let out at this moment, and they were no longer tense.

In truth, Zu Jin pretty much had the same feelings as them. Otherwise, how could she let her husband be made fun of by so many people? Then, she would tease Yan Lin when they went back.

Everyone joked around for a while before they took a car to the hotel.

That night, they held a banquet in the hotel to celebrate the success of the company listing. Later, they would celebrate with the employees of Xishui who contributed to the listing, and the people who helped Xishui in the past.

Zu Jin was simply feeling extremely great today. She was notoriously a good drinker, so she out drank a lot of men at the banquet.

""

When she was half drunk, she was invited to the stage by the host and sang a song with several young and handsome employees. However, she was tone deaf. She stood on the stage singing at the top of her voice while everyone in the audience laughed.

Finally, the host cunningly wanted to pull Yan Lin up and let the couple sing a verse together to satisfy everyone’s imagination.

However, Yan Lin came to the banquet only because he was Zu Jin’s husband. If he really went up there and was laughed at by everyone, the leaders of Xishui would feel a chill down their spine.

After fooling around for a while, Xu Tianqing and the others tried to smooth things over and asked the host to move on to the next program.

“Mommy?”

Zu Jin heard Zu Xiaofei’s soft voice. At the same time, Zu Jin felt that her face was gently hit by a small hand.

She gave a muffled grunt. Then, she turned over and tried to cover her head so that she could go back to sleep.

However the little girl had a lot of perseverance. When she saw that her mommy wanted to cover her head, she climbed into the big bed with a smile. After that, she went on top of her mommy, and tried to pull the blanket away

The little girl did not have a lot of strength, so how could she be Zu Jin’s opponent? Zu Jin let her daughter play around while she laid there motionless.

But this was seen by Yan Lin, who quickly went over to grab Zu Xiaofei.

“Feifei, you can’t do this to your mother.”

Their daughter was taken off the bed and Zu Jin was finally able to catch her breath.

She mumbled under the blanket, “Feifei, you’re heavier again.”

Ever since Zu Xiaofei started attending kindergarten, she had become very concerned about her own image.

Thus, no matter how young a girl was, the word ‘fat’ couldn’t be said.

Zu Xiaofei wanted to be angry, but she did not dare to do it because Yan Lin came in with a strict face. Instead, she pouted and ran out.

When Zu Jin heard her, she pulled the blanket away. She only saw Yan Lin shrugging his shoulders. She asked, “Is she angry?”

“Yeah. The food is ready. Are you going to get up?”

Zu Jin wanted to stay in bed since she had a hangover. Her head hurt when she sat up.

But she had to get up. “I’ll get up. I finally have free time, so I’ll spend some time with you today.”

She stayed at home all morning. In the afternoon, Yan Lin’s family called to ask them to come over and have dinner together.

She didn’t even have to think about it to know that this was a Feast at the Swan Goose Gate1

After they meet, Father Yan would definitely ask Yan Lin to think of a way to get Yan Yuelin out. However, Yan Yuelin was now involved in two murders. Moreover, the evidence was becoming more solid with each step. If he wanted Yan Yuelin to be let out, then how could Yan Lin continue to be a man of integrity?

The most annoying thing was that this phone call was from Mother Yan.

How could she try to trick her own son?

Zu Jin rolled her eyes and said, “What bad timing, mother. We have plans to have dinner with some partners this evening. Let’s have dinner another time.”

Mother Yan was shocked for a moment. “You two are working together?”

“Yes, it’s a big project, so the dinner this evening really can’t be rescheduled.”

After a few more words, Mother Yan finally hung up the phone.
