Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 478 : 478
"Come, sit on the sofa and rest for a while."
Su Chen pulled Lin Ruoxue by the hand towards the sofa.
"Hey, what are you doing? I still have work to finish!"
"You'll never finish working this way, you really must rest properly."
Su Chen knew his wife was a workaholic, who once started working, seemed to forget about her own life.
"All right, all right, I'll rest, just stop pulling."
Lin Ruoxue was both amused and helpless, knowing that once Su Chen became insistent, there was no way for her to refuse him.
"Give me a massage, will you?"
Once Lin Ruoxue relaxed, she indeed felt her muscles and bones sore.
"Sure."
Su Chen gladly agreed and began massaging Lin Ruoxue.
Seeing that she was truly weary, Su Chen even infused a bit of True Yuan into the massage, and Lin Ruoxue immediately felt refreshed.
After the massage, Lin Ruoxue found herself wrapped in Su Chen's embrace, casually chatting about whatever came to mind without any restraint on topics.
"Oh right, honey, why don't you take a few days off at home and then go to Yandu?"
Lin Ruoxue suddenly suggested.
"Why though?"
"Of course, it's to prepare for the business of our Yandu branch office. I've already arranged for the heads of each department and some elites, and they'll be heading there tomorrow," Lin Ruoxue explained:
"But there's still a lack of a chief person in charge over there, and as my husband, if you don't help me with this, who will?"
After spending much time together, Lin Ruoxue knew that her husband was certainly capable of the task.
"Cut it out, my dear wife, please spare me. You know I hate dealing with these troublesome matters," Su Chen immediately raised his hands in surrender:
"I think Xia Qiuru is quite suitable. How about letting Xia Qiuru take the position of the chief person in charge?"
In Lin Ruoxue's presence, Su Chen certainly didn't have the daring to affectionately call Qiuru by name.
"Hmm, that's fine, but you still have to go to Yandu and give a hand in overseeing major issues," Lin Ruoxue mused and nodded her head, knowing full well her husband's reluctant nature.
"Fine, then."
Su Chen agreed verbally, but in actuality, he'd probably be too lazy to manage when the time came. As for Xia Qiuru, what was there not to trust?
"Wife, I've noticed you've lost quite a bit of weight recently, but that part hasn't shrunk at all," Su Chen suddenly spoke up, his gaze from above fixed on a certain part of Lin Ruoxue's body.
"What hasn't shrunk?"
Lin Ruoxue asked with some confusion, but soon understood as his "wandering hands" emphatically clarified for her.
"Smack!"
"This is an office, don't mess around!"
Lin Ruoxue swiftly smacked away his mischievous hand.
Lin Ruoxue felt truly exasperated. When this man wasn't around, she would miss him every day, yet the moment he returned, he started to be mischievous again.
"Wife, haven't you heard that it's more exciting in the office?"

Su Chen's voice was like someone using candy to coax a little girl, a playful smile spreading across his face.
That smile made Lin Ruoxue's heart flutter momentarily, and she stood up abruptly to break free from Su Chen's hold:
"Enough, I've rested, now you should leave!"
Lin Ruoxue issued a clear eviction order, who knew what this rascal would do next?
"Well, alright then."
Su Chen did not continue to cling to Lin Ruoxue, as he could see that she was indeed very busy.
"Take care of yourself, eat properly, and don't work too hard."
Su Chen bid his farewell and left.
"It's been a long time since I've seen those beauties from the public relations department, I wonder if they've been thinking of me."
Su Chen thought to himself with a cheeky grin and then headed straight for the public relations department.
As expected, the moment he stepped into the department, he was warmly welcomed by the chirpy and spirited women.
Su Chen finally got to freely caress Lin Ruoxue as much as he pleased, eliciting shy blushes from the women.
Almost every time he visited the public relations department, it was like entering a land of women, which made him feel extremely comfortable!
Just as he was getting along famously with the women, Su Chen's phone rang. He quickly pushed away two women who were cozying up to him and glanced at the caller ID.
Upon recognizing who it was, his passionate mood immediately cooled down.
Because the call was from Pei Rou, he had already agreed to have dinner with her last time, but because he was held up by Qin Ming's matter, he failed to make it.
Back then, he had excused himself by claiming an urgent business trip to fend her off.
He didn't need to guess to know that Pei Rou was calling to insist he come over to discuss the matter between him and Tang Yun.
"Hello, Aunt Pei."
Su Chen greeted her affectionately—after all, who else but he had taken liberties with her daughter and been caught in the act?
"You must be back from your business trip now, right?"
Pei Rou's voice from the other end sounded clearly annoyed; Su Chen's absence last time must have seemed like he was evading her.
"I am, I just got back today!"
"Good, come for dinner tonight."
After that, not allowing Su Chen to say another word, Pei Rou hung up...
......
Meanwhile, in the old Wu Family mansion, all the key members of the family had gathered in a living room.
Old Madam Wu sat at the head of the room in a commanding armchair, while the families of Wu Jingui and Wu Jinjun sat on either side, each person's expression somber, indicating that the discussion ahead was a serious matter.
"Situ Guang, the third son of the Situ Family, will be back soon. What should we do about his marriage to Ye Mei? Let's hear what you all think," Old Madam Wu said in a grave tone as she scanned the room.
"What else is there to say? We should make sure she's tied up and sent off if necessary!"
No sooner had Old Madam Wu finished speaking than Liang Jing, Wu Jinjun's wife, was the first to jump in.
"Sister-in-law, we shouldn't say such things. If we can persuade Ye Mei to willingly marry into the Situ Family, that would be most advantageous. If she then speaks well of us there, wouldn't that double our efforts?"
Wu Jingui shook his head with a smile.
"You make it sound so easy, but she has to be willing, right? How many times have we talked to her? Ten times? Twenty times? Thirty times? Has that wild girl ever relented?"
Liang Jing retorted directly, her tone showing little respect for Wu Jingui, her husband being the nominal Family Head.
However, Wu Jingui was entirely indifferent to Liang Jing's tone:
"What I mean is, we need to prepare for both the best and worst scenarios. On one hand, we continue to persuade her, appealing to her emotions and reasoning."
"Besides, although we've spoken to her many times before, to be honest, everyone knows how my sister-in-law used to treat her and her mother."
Wu Jingui glanced at Liang Jing and continued undisturbed:
"How could she possibly agree just because we say a few nice words?"
"Wu Jingui, what are you implying?"
Upon hearing Wu Jingui's words, Liang Jing immediately stood up, pointing at him and retorted angrily:
"Are you suggesting that I am solely to blame for this situation?!"
"I am merely discussing the matter at hand, why would my sister-in-law react so emotionally?"
Wu Jingui shrugged nonchalantly.
"Emotional? What am I emotional about!"
Liang Jing shouted in a frenzy, as if a sore spot had been hit.
"Silence! I am not yet dead!"
Suddenly, Old Madam Wu's sharp voice scolded:
"Liang Jing, sit down! What kind of behavior is this!"
