My Wife Is Dominant Chapter 23 The Beautiful Secretary

It never crossed Wang Weixi's mind to be like the other general managers, who had capable and pretty secretaries, who also possessed fantastic figures with all their curves at the right places. He did not take Yi Duanfang's suggestion to make a secretary work for him. He had always believed that it was sufficient to have Chen Kexin by his side.

　　However, all men thought they would remain faithful to one woman before they saw another beautiful woman. Once a man saw another beautiful woman, there would be varying responses.

　　Although Wang Weixi was not especially taken aback, his heart did flutter a little when he saw the girl, Lan Ling sitting quietly before him.

　　She had a small face with impeccable complexion, delicate facial features that were as lovely as Chen Kexin. There was also an air of aloofness about her, just like Chen Keren. Her sharp chin was especially adorable. With beautiful shiny black hair cascading down her shoulders and a long black dress, she looked exceedingly elegant.

　　It was rowdy with everyone talking in the room and Lan Ling's quietness was a contrast to the noisy environment.

　　Standing next to Wang Weixi, Yi Duanfang tried hard to hold in his smile. He thought Lan Ling was handpicked by the CEO and himself so naturally she was definitely Wang Weixi's type.

　　"Yo, Weixi's here." A lady in blue dress announced when Wang Weixi arrived. She was Jiang Ming, Wang Weixi's direct superior, therefore she was a junior architect. She had always been very kind to Wang Weixi and in return, Wang Weixi respectfully called her "Big Sister Jiang".

　　Wang Weixi came back to his senses and tore his gaze away from Lan Ling. He smiled at everyone and greeted them, saying, "Big Sister Jiang, Big Sister Li, Big Sister Wang, Little Lang, Little Hu and Baozi, thank you all for coming." Thereafter, he followed Yi Duanfang to sit down at their reversed seats.

　　Wang Weixi sat at the seat next to Lan Ling. He smelled a subtle flora fragrance in the air. He half closed his eyes as if he was intoxicated, at the same time, he fought the urge to turn to look at Lan Ling.

　　"Weixi, don't just keep greeting us. Look at this lady sitting beside you. Do you know her?" Big Sister Jiang said with gently.

　　Wang Weixi composed himself and turned towards Lan Ling, when, Lan Ling simultaneously turned to face him, and their eyes met. Lan Ling immediately looked down in embarrassment and said shyly, "Hi Manager Wang, I am your secretary..."

　　It surprised Wang Weixi, that when Lan Ling was not smiling, she appeared aloof; when she spoke she was so elegant. This woman was indeed very charming.

　　"Hi, there is no need to stand on ceremony. I am also new to my job, heh heh..." Wang Weixi was obviously awkward in his interaction with woman.

　　Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes at Wang Weixi and sneered, "So clueless."

　　Everyone burst out laughing while Wang Weixi awkwardly adjusted his spectacles in embarrassment.

　　To Wang Weixi's surprise, no one at the table seemed to have the intention of distancing themselves from him. On the contrary, everyone seemed to be sincerely rejoicing with him over his promotion. He could not help but feel ashamed of himself. Apparently these people had full confidence in him, while he was the one having doubts in them. At this thought, he filled his glass and raised it, saying, "Weixi had been in the company for so long and you guys are the handful of true friends I've made. My promotion came so unexpectedly and I know there must be many people who have a different opinion of me. However, because of you here were agreeable to it, I am truly thankful. Let me toast all of you!"

　　All of them looked at each other, then lifted their glasses and clinked them together in a toast. At this instant, Wang Weixi's eyes were suddenly clouded with mist.

　　Seeing everyone drink up their wine, Lan Ling also downed an entire glass of wine.

　　Wang Weixi was a little concerned and he said, "Lan Ling, drink only as much as you can take."

　　Surprisingly Lan Ling returned with a sweet smile and replied, "Don't worry, Manager Wang. I can take it."

　　Wang Weixi forced a smile and turned his eyes away. Apart from feeling that Lan Ling was very beautiful, Wang Weixi felt an uncomfortable feeling creeping up from within him. He could not put a finger to that uncomfortable feeling. It was a faint feeling that Lan Ling was not just an ordinary character.

　　Xiaolang and his gang looked longingly at Lan Ling, thinking to themselves how lucky Wang Weixi was.

　　On the otherhand, Yi Duanfang was in high spirits and was all smiles. At some point, he was even encouraging Lan Ling to drink more. This really annoyed Wang Weixi.

　　If this playboy, Yi Duanfang had eyes on her, it would still not be as bad as implicating Wang Weixi. As Wang Weixi pondered, he absent-mindedly helped himself to the food while listening on to what the rest were discussing.

　　Everything went on smoothly until 9pm.

　　Wang Weixi took out his mobile phone and suddenly thought of Chen Kexin. He wondered if she was alone at home or stay with Chen Keren. Wang Weixi could not put off the thought of it being strange to have left Chen Kexin with Chen Keren.

　　After a moment, Wang Weixi put down his mobile phone and took a sip of the wine. Anxiety was written all over his face.

　　"What happened Weixi? Are you thinking of your dear wife?" teased Big Sister Jiang playfully.

　　All of a sudden, everyone stopped talking and threw Wang Weixi the same sympathetic look. This made Wang Weixi uneasy. He betrayed an awkward smile as he blushed.

　　Yi Duanfang threw his chopsticks down and said in an irritated manner, "Come on, why behave like a lady? We are here to enjoy the fun. Stop thinking about the woman at home!"

　　The man started laughing in response to Yi Duanfang's words, while the ladies faces fell.

　　Displeased, Big Sister Jiang patted Yi Duanfang and said, "Director Yi, you are so "manly" indeed. Are you then looking down on us ladies? What is it that you are not happy about?"

　　Yi Duanfang quickly waved his hand sheepishly and said, "Big Sister Jiang, that wasn't what I mean. I am sorry, it's all my fault. How about I drink more as a punishment?" He downed his glass of wine immediately.

　　Wang Weixi laughed secretly at Yi Duanfeng, who reaped his retribution for tormenting him.

　　"It's getting late. I am just worried that she is home alone," Wang Weixi explained.

　　Big Sister Jiang nodded and said in an approving tone, "Look at Weixi! A role model to all man indeed. You ought to learn from him, Duanfang."

　　Yi Duanfang snorted with contempt. On the other hand, an indescribable expression flashed across Lan Ling's face.

　　"Take a look at your boss, Lan Ling. You are going to have a hard time working for him, given that his mind is filled with his dear wife," Yi Duanfang grab hold of the opportunity to speak when he saw the expression on her face.

　　Wang Weixi was caught off guard by Yi Duanfang's comment. He turned round and said to Lan Ling with an embarrassed expression. "Don't listen to his nonsense, heh heh."

　　However, Lan Ling only shook her head and said in a kindly voice, "I think it's good that Manager Wang thinks in this way."

　　What she said stunned everyone present.

　　A surprised look flashed across his face.

　　Yi Duanfang took this opportunity and added, "Really? I thought you would fancy man who esteems his career over all other matters. How surprising for you agree with Wang Weixi. Tell me, how is he good? I really can't tell."

　　... Wang Weixi almost lost it then. He felt like giving Yi Duanfang a punch.

　　Yi Duanfang, on the contrary, was all the most gleeful.

　　Lan Ling, who was still blushing, said, "A good man is one who is both successful in his career and caring for his wife. Wouldn't be so boring marrying a man who works all day long?" She threw an admiring glance at Wang Weixi.

　　Everyone could see that look of admiration in Lan Ling's eyes because surprisingly, she did not try to hide it. In an instant, the entire atmosphere became awkward.

　　Wang Weixi was not totally ignorant. In fact, he got what Lan Ling was trying to say to him from her eyes. However, he could feel a subtle sense of disappointment. A woman should not be expressing herself in this way, knowing that he was a married man.

　　Yi Duanfang would admonish Wang Weixi for being so abnormal if he knew what Wang Weixi was thinking.

　　Wang Weixi said impassionately, "Thanks for your compliment, Lan Ling. And Duanfang, will you stop playing a fool. I shall make a move first. Although I would love to stay and drink with you, I can't stop worrying about Kexin."

　　Lan Ling hang her head, looking slightly downcast.

　　The rest of the people nodded in unison as Big Sister Jiang stuck out her thumb and said, "Kexin must be such a lovable person for Weixi to be so protective of her. I haven't had a chance to get acquinted with her since your wedding day, Weixi, I am so looking forward to our meeting next Saturday."

　　Wang Weixi's expression froze for the a second upon hearing the word "meeting", but he forced a smile and did not comment.

　　Yi Duanfang on the otherhand was disinterested in their conversation. He considered himself to have succeeded in half of his plan. He was just amazed by Wang Weixi's lack of awareness.

　　In fact, Lan Ling had known about Wang Weixi from a long time ago. That year, when Wang Weixi was giving his graduation speech as a fourth-year undergraduate, Lan Ling was still an adorable freshman. It was at that time, she fell in love with Wang Weixi.

　　Lan Ling came from a rather well to do family. She was elated when she came for an interview for a job in this company and saw Wang Weixi's photograph.

　　Di Duanfang had always been an observant person. When he bumped into Lan Ling, an exceptional beauty, who was staring at Wang Weixi's photograph on the notice board, he knew right way what was in her heart.

　　Although Lan Ling certainly did not review her admiration for Wang Weixi, Yi Duanfang could see it clearly and had engineered her to become Wang Weixi's secretary.

　　Yi Duanfang was absorbed in his jubilant thoughts as he tasted the red wine in his glass. "Did you say you wanted to find a good man for your sister, Chen Keren? Let me tell you, we will do the same for Weixi too, ha ha..."

　　Wang Weixi glanced at the Yi Duanfang was laughing to himself. Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong with you, Duanfang?"

　　"Nothing," Yi Duanfang sneered.

　　Wang Weixi could only shake his head. As he looked out of the window at the dazzling city lights, Wang Weixi's thought turned to Chen Kexin. How he wished he could be home as fast as possible.

　　What he was not aware of was that Chen Kexin was eating food prepared by another man right at that moment. A man who is much better than Wang Weixi.
