Chapter 373: Chapter 373: The Henpecked Husband Who is Afraid of His Wife (1)_1

The HR Director, Mr. Qi, witnessed Han Jingnian’s icy, horrifying face become calm in an instant. He nodded gently toward the little head poking through the door.

Mr. Qi incredulously rubbed his eyes. Once he had confirmed that he was not mistaken, he could not help but gaze at the sky outside. Seeing that the sun was indeed setting in the west, he lowered his head in surprise and horror.

Such a miraculous scene actually occurred with CEO Han? If he did not still have residual fear, he would have thought that the furious CEO Han he had just seen was merely an illusion.

Only after receiving Han Jingnian’s approval did Xia Wan’an push the door open further. She then squeezed herself against the wall and slipped into Han Jingnian’s office.

She looked at Han Jingnian, then at Mr. Qi, and then spoke out again, "Um, could you let Mr. Qi leave first?"

Han Jingnian stared at Xia Wan’an, not reacting.

Xia Wan’an bit her finger, rotating her eyeballs, and then spoke again in a soft voice, "After all, this is a matter between us, husband and wife. It’s not quite right to involve Mr. Qi, an outsider, right?"

Husband and wife?

Hearing these two words, Mr. Qi’s eyes almost popped out, "..."

He didn’t mishear, did he? Director Xia actually used the term ’husband and wife’? She and CEO Han are in a marital relationship? My goodness, it’s good that he was wise enough to feel that Director Xia was not a simple person and treated her like a deity...

Also noticing the term ’husband and wife’ was Han Jingnian, but compared to Mr. Qi’s shock, his brows seemed to relax quite a bit. As if he thoroughly enjoyed this term from her mouth, he nodded his head and calmly said to Mr. Qi, "You can leave first."

"Yes, CEO Han." Mr. Qi, as if granted a pardon, bowed several times gratefully to Han Jingnian and then slipped away without looking back.

While slipping away, Mr. Qi thought to himself, who would’ve thought that the god-like CEO Han... is actually a henpecked husband?

Only Xia Wan’an and Han Jingnian remained in the office. Han Jingnian sat in his office chair, looking at Xia Wan’an without saying a word.

Even if his expression seemed no different from usual, Xia Wan’an could still sense his displeasure.

Xia Wan’an puffed out her cheeks, slowly edged to Han Jingnian’s side, then lifted her little face and smiled at Han Jingnian, "Are you...angry?"

Han Jingnian didn’t speak, but the tight corners of his lips noticeably relaxed.

Upon catching this subtle change in his expression, Xia Wan’an knew that he was calming down. Her courage grew, and she tugged at his cuff, "Don’t be angry anymore..."

The unhappiness in Han Jingnian’s chest evaporated instantly, "Alright, but he cannot enter the company."

Xia Wan’an naturally knew that the "he" he referred to was He Che. But she had already promised "Allure Love" that she had hired his recommended friend. She couldn’t break her promise...

With this in mind, Xia Wan’an quickly churned her thoughts and spoke, "You can’t let personal grievances get in the way of business decisions. He is truly talented. I clearly brought new talent into your company. Besides, what happened before is long in the past, and it was a misunderstanding back then anyway..."

"No." Han Jingnian cut Xia Wan’an off decisively, directly opening a document and beginning to work on official business. It was clear that there was no room for discussion.

Xia Wan’an glared at Han Jingnian, who was effectively ignoring her. After a while, she perseveringly spoke again, "Then tell me what it would take for you to let him stay?"

Han Jingnian, flipping through the document and ready to sign it, responded, "It’s not possible under any circumstance."

"Are you sure? Even an unspoken rule won’t work?"
