Chapter 179: Chapter 179: My Wife is Here to Pick Me Up

What the hell?

They just heard what?

Liu Songhao earnestly squeezed his ears twice, wondering if he had misheard something?

Shen Yanqing’s mouth hung open, staring at Zhou Shuyan in disbelief.

Had he just heard some major gossip?

Shen Yanqing mechanically turned his neck and looked at Liu Songhao standing beside him, thinking he was whispering, "Manager Liu, I think I just heard something juicy about the CEO!"

Liu Songhao: "..."

Would you keep your voice down?

Lai Zhonglin’s smile froze on his face, his skin twitched, and he couldn’t quite manage to let his smile fall as he said stiffly, "President Zhou, what did you just... say... what? A wife, I must have heard wrong, haha!"

Lai Yuanxue’s face changed from a shy blush to a reddened hue bursting with both shock and disbelief.

Don’t ask how Yu Zeqin knew; his eyes were sharp!

Lai Yuanxue looked at Zhou Shuyan incredulously.

When did Zhou Shuyan get married?

Honestly, if Zhou Shuyan were to get married, it would be a big deal.

Not only within their circle, even the news would report it; it wouldn’t be quiet.

Many eyes were fixed on Zhou Shuyan’s marital news.

Many people sought opportunities to inquire from Mrs. Zhou.

But Mrs. Zhou seemed not to interfere with Zhou Shuyan’s marital affairs, never pressuring him, nor ever expressing a desire to introduce him to any girls.

She never talked much to those inquiring, simply stating she was not in a hurry.

As time passed, Mrs. Zhou no longer showed up in public often, making it hard for others to trace her whereabouts or probe into Zhou Shuyan’s affairs through her.

It was rare to get to know Zhou Shuyan at a dinner like today’s; Lai Yuanxue didn’t have much confidence, but still wanted to give it a try.

But how could she expect to hear Zhou Shuyan say he was already married?

When did that happen!

It was genuinely hard to believe as no one had ever heard about it.

Seeing Lu Youxi get out of the car and stand by the road, yet the taxi hadn’t left, Zhou Shuyan knew Lu Youxi’s intention.

She probably wanted the taxi to wait there, to avoid the difficulty of hailing one later.

If that was the case, the taxi’s meter was surely still running.

Right then, Zhou Shuyan felt a pang of heartache for the money Lu Youxi was spending!

"My wife is here to pick me up," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Lai Zhonglin and the others had only drunk enough to be slightly tipsy, not drunk, as they were there to discuss business, not just to drink.

So, their minds were quite clear.

Seeing Zhou Shuyan’s smile, Lai Zhonglin knew Zhou Shuyan meant his words, not just fobbing them off.

Lai Zhonglin knew that, with Zhou Shuyan’s stature, he didn’t need to lie about being married just to avoid contact with Lai Yuanxue.

Frankly, and even rudely, the Lai family wasn’t worthy enough for Zhou Shuyan to cook up such an excuse just to let them down easy.

However, seeing Zhou Shuyan’s smile now, Lai Zhonglin realized that although they’d seemed to enjoy their conversation during the dinner, Zhou Shuyan’s polite and appropriate smiles didn’t carry as much warmth as the one he now wore seeing his wife.

The smile hadn’t fully reached his eyes previously, completely representing the obligatory social smile seen in business interactions.

Unlike now, Zhou Shuyan’s face beamed with warmth.

Even in the slightly chilly autumn night, the warmth in his eyes could reach one’s heart, making anyone looking feel a bit warmer.

Everyone involuntarily followed Zhou Shuyan’s gaze.

They saw a young girl about the same age as Lai Yuanxue standing in front of a parked taxi.

Lu Youxi wasn’t standing very far, about ten meters away.

Standing under the neon lights, with the car lights passing behind her on the road, flashing over Lu Youxi’s figure, illuminating her, then fading, then illuminating again.

Lai Yuanxue had just stood under the neon lights herself, looking bright, but in that moment, seeing Lu Youxi standing there, they knew what a jade-like beauty truly was.

Soon after Zhou Shuyan looked over, the others also began to look.

Lu Youxi, a bit surprised, was hesitating whether to walk over.

Just then, Zhou Shuyan took steps toward her.

Lu Youxi simply decided to wait where she was.

But unexpectedly, as Zhou Shuyan moved, others followed him as well.

Lai Zhonglin and Yu Zeqin almost simultaneously started following Zhou Shuyan.

Seeing this, naturally, the rest followed as well.

Lu Youxi: "..."

Zhou Shuyan, tall and with long legs, made his way towards her quite swiftly, making it somewhat difficult for Lai Zhonglin and others to keep up.

Lai Yuanxue had to jog to catch up.

Lu Youxi looked at the only other girl in the group, who seemed around her age.

It was clear that this was the blind date Zhou Shuyan had mentioned that evening.

Seeing Lu Youxi look her way, Lai Yuanxue’s expression suddenly turned a bit unnatural.

She had come with high hopes of getting to know Zhou Shuyan, but she didn’t expect him to already have a wife, and for his wife to show up on the spot.

It was naturally extremely awkward.

Lai Yuanxue couldn’t help but look at Lu Youxi again.

Seeing Lu Youxi standing there calmly and composedly, in contrast to her own flustered attempt to keep up, she immediately felt embarrassed.

Her eyes reddened, feeling humiliated and even outshined by Lu Youxi.

Even if Zhou Shuyan was married and she had no chance, she still didn’t want to be outdone under such circumstances.

She wanted to show everyone that she was better, not lacking in any way.

Finally reaching Lu Youxi, Lai Yuanxue secretly sized her up from behind the others.

Close up, she noticed Lu Youxi was wearing very simple clothes, obviously cheap from the cut and style.

She hadn’t expected Zhou Shuyan’s wife to dress so... cheaply, without any class.

But she had to admit, Lu Youxi didn’t look bad in them.

"Thank you for coming to pick me up," Zhou Shuyan said, standing in front of Lu Youxi, his eyes tender beyond words, as though he wanted to wrap Lu Youxi in his gentle gaze.

Before Lai Zhonglin could speak, Zhou Shuyan introduced her to everyone first, "This is my wife."

Lu Youxi smiled and nodded, unsure how to address them, so she chose to remain silent.

Worried that Lai Zhonglin might reveal his identity, Zhou Shuyan quickly added, "Then I’ll go first."

After saying this, without even bidding farewell to Lai Zhonglin and the others, he dived into the taxi.

Lai Zhonglin: "..."

Was Zhou Shuyan in such a hurry to get home?

Lu Youxi also smiled at the group and said, "Then we’ll leave first."

After speaking, Lu Youxi also got into the car.
