Chapter 401 - Find A Chance To Announce Loudly To Feel The Excitement (2/2)
He walked up to Ruan Danchen’s desk, then asked in a polite manner, “Mrs. General Manager, you’re not going back yet?”
It took Ruan Danchen quite some time before she realized that Manager Zou was speaking to her. She was not used to being addressed this way, especially in this office and Manager Zou being her superior.
Ruan Danchen raised her head and touched the tip of her nose with a pen, then said uncomfortably, “Manager Zou, how you have addressed me and talked to me in the past, you should interact with me in the same way in the future. All these Mrs. General Manager and ‘You'[1], I feel very pressured when you address me like that during working hours.”
“…” Manager Zou hesitated for some time before he spoke, “With a Manager’s spouse working under me, I’m feeling pressured too.”
“…” Ruan Danchen noticed that extremely stern facial expression on Manager Zou’s face, then sighed, “then let’s make a deal. In private you can call me Mrs. General Manager all you like, but during working hours we address each other based on our seniority. Will that work? You see, even if I’m the General Manager’s wife, our company does not have a position of Mrs. General Manager. During working hours, you are my superior. We’ll just handle this professionally, okay?”
Manager Zou gritted his teeth, then reluctantly agreed, “Alright.”
Ruan Danchen smiled, “What do you need me for?”
“Oh right, the General Manager is waiting for you right outside,” Manager Zou quickly replied after he remembered the reason he looked for Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen looked over and saw that Qi Chenglin was waiting outside. She had forgotten about the time while working. She quickly called out to Qi Chenglin, “You wait a minute, I’ll pack up now.”
To have Qi Chenglin waiting outside for her to finish her work, she felt greatly pressured.
At that moment she could really empathize with Manager Zou’s feelings.
As she was busy packing up, Qi Chenglin got tired and walked right in. He looked at her draft that was almost finished, “How much left?”
“It’s just five minutes of work. I’ll bring it home to finish it,” Ruan Danchen said and packed everything.
She followed Qi Chenglin and left the office. When they arrived at the carpark, she saw from afar his black Mercedes-Benz.
At that moment, Xiao Yang got out of the car and stood to the front car. The back car window wound down and Lil’ Qi Youxuan’s head poked out from the car.
During Winter time, Ruan Danchen insisted that he put on a hat while being outdoors. That day he went to Jade Field Park with Guan Liya. When Xiao Yang brought him over from Jade Field PArk, Guan Liya also insisted for him to put on his hat.
That was why he did not style his hair that day. The soft and fine hair stuck to his head smoothly, making him look even cuter than usual.
“Daddy, Mommy!” Qi Youxuan immediately waved at them, causing the other coworkers in the parking lot to look over. Seeing Qi Youxuan’s cuteness, they all could not help but smile.
“Why did Youxuan come along?” Ruan Danchen quickened her pace while asking Qi Chenglin.
“We’re getting the ring tonight, and I’m afraid he might be impatient at home, so I brought him along. We’ll just have our dinner outside as well.” Qi Chenglin held her hands, raised them, and then rubbed them. “We’re already married. I feel that I should put on a ring to avoid others mistaking me to be single.”
Qi Chenglin threw a look at her, that pair of black eyes full of warmth and gentleness, smiling, “Next time if any woman tries latch on to me, I don’t have to say much and just show them my left hand.”
“You know of the incident this afternoon?” Ruan Danchen put on a smile that did not look like a smile. Qi Chenglin felt that she was making fun of him for leaving her with such a mess, throwing so many love rivals for her to get rid of.
“Cough.” Qi Chenglin raised his head and looked upwards. “I did not expect her to be that smart to think of using you to enter the company.”
Unfortunately for Chang Qingqiu, her attempt at being a mistress ran right into the legitimate wife. Was that not looking for trouble?
Ruan Danchen harrumphed angrily. If not for him being too attractive, why would a woman take the initiative to come all the way to the company to find him?
Nowadays women can behave in a scary manner when they take the initiative. Discovering a man with good conditions, they would fight for him to no end.
Even though this incident was not Qi Chenglin’s fault, but to express her dissatisfaction of him being too attractive, she insisted to sit in the backseat with Qi Youxuan.
Qi Chenglin looked at her, feeling wronged. He did not purposely attract them.
However, since Ruan Danchen was angry, he did not dare to voice out. Instead, he secretly felt rather happy. The angrier she gets meant the more she cared for him. Later he would put in the extra effort to coax her. His heart was bubbling up with feeling of sweetness.
As he entertained those thoughts, the corner of his mouth started curling upwards, driving away happily.
Ruan Danchen saw Qi Chenglin’s lips curling upwards via the rear-view mirror, thought to herself that he seems to be in a good mood with her being angry. However, considering Qi Chenglin’s temper, she could somewhat guess the reason behind him being in a good mood and then could not help but smile.
Qi Chenglin’s brows twitched, his pair of black orbs smiling.
He thought to himself that his wife was just that cute and so understanding. Without needing any coaxing, her anger was gone just like that. Thinking about it, the smile on Qi Chenglin’s handsome face got even brighter. He was thinking that he could now legitimately and openly proclaim ‘my wife’. Just silently saying it to himself in his mind was already so exhilarating, he needs to find a chance to announce this loudly and feel the excitement.
Qi Youxuan had some snacks during the day while he was at Jade Park Field so he was not really hungry. Only after Ruan Danchen had made sure he was not hungry did she agree to Qi Chenglin’s suggestion to head to the shop for ring purchase first.
…
When they reached the store, Qi Chenglin picked a simple ring for himself. It’s just a simple round ring with no patterns or diamond inlays worn over his ring finger on his left hand, yet it looked extremely elegant on him.
His long slender fingers elegant and distinct, the ring simple and majestic.
After that, the manager went into the backroom, took out a tray from the safe with a ring on it. When the manager came out, he was surrounded front and back by two serious-faced bodyguards dressed in black.
Looking at the seriousness of the two bodyguard’s expression, Ruan Danchen felt greatly pressured. Even Qi Youxuan felt nervous and leaned in closer to Ruan Danchen’s leg.
The manager put the tray down and removed the flannel on top, revealing a little transparent box underneath.
It was obvious the box was made with some sort of anti-theft glass. Ruan Danchen did not know if there were any more technologically advanced and more amazing materials. The bottom bracket underneath the box came with a passworded lock.
Through the glass, Ruan Danchen could see a diamond ring within it. The blue diamond was more towards the hue of powder blue instead of a sharp blue color. The craftsmanship of the cut was exquisite, unlike the classy flair of modern craftsmanship. However, it looked more beautiful than any other ring out there.
This store’s brand was famous. Ruan Danchen had only ever heard of it. The commonly priced ring in this store was something she could afford, but would definitely be unwilling to buy. If it were the better looking designs, then she really could not afford them.
When she entered the store, Ruan Danchen felt a little dizzy. She felt that every design here had its own uniqueness, refined and beautiful.
However, after looking at that particular ring, the rest of the rings were incomparable.
Even though the band of this ring was not a complicated or rare design, but instead just a simple ring.
