The meeting room was quiet. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the man sitting at the top.

But it was not a good thing to be in such a deadlock. Is he continuing the call or not?

On the big screen in front of Qiao Yu, although his eyes were on it, his mind was elsewhere. He could hear her light breathing on the phone.

At this time, she should be sitting there in a daze. Yes, she had always been like this. She did not advance or retreat. She would not take the initiative to curry favor, nor would she cower in fear.

It was not that he did not know this. It was just that he did not want to face it in the past. He always thought that she would be like before, warm, and proactive. He was wrong.

In the Qiao house, Xia Ning was sitting on the couch. Enoch was drawing on the table with a pen.

He said he was in a meeting but it was quiet. She knew he was listening.

And she had been in a deadlock with him for five minutes. Five minutes like this was probably longer than fifty minutes.

“You should go.” Xia Ning finally spoke. In fact, she was waiting for him to hang up first.

But he did not want to. In that case, she should hang up first. Just as she was about to hang up, a man's voice came from the other end.

“Wait!”

“Huh?”

“I'll come back for dinner tonight.”

“Oh,” Xia Ning answered and hung up.

So what he meant was to talk tonight? Xia Ning smiled knowingly. It seemed to be a turning point.

Qiao Yu looked at the phone and went silent for a while. In fact, he should not have taken a step back so fast. But she was like an ostrich. If he did not step up, she would not know how to comfort him.

And this time, he was really angry.

“Let's start,” Qiao Yu put down his phone and said to the person giving the report across him.

“Yes, Boss,” the person giving the report replied and continued.

The people below heaved a sigh of relief. The moment the call was hung up, the suffocating feeling disappeared.

But Boss's words were really intriguing.

I'll come back for dinner tonight!

They were even cohabiting. This speed, this plot, Boss even had a woman without anybody knowing. He even had a mistress in the house. Was Boss going to have a son one day?

Judging from the situation just now, Boss must have quarreled with his woman. Now that they were in a fight, Boss could still go home for dinner. Where was the dignity of a man?

It could only mean that Boss really loved that woman!

It seemed like they were going to meet their Boss's wife soon. It was just that they did not know which woman was so lucky to be able to settle this king-like man.

In the Qiao family's house, Xia Ning stared at her phone for a while. She remembered that she had not inquired about the male lead of the scandal yet. She frowned. She wondered if Jin Yan was sober.

The call went through and someone picked up.

“h.e.l.lo, Xia Ning?” It was Li Man's voice.

Xia Ning asked, “Is Jin Yan awake?”

“He's awake. He went to the bathroom just now. He was torturing me from being drunk last night.” There was a hint of pride in her voice. “Why are you looking for him?”

“It's just…” Xia Ning was about to say something, but she stopped herself at the thought of the gossip between her and Jin Yan. “Can I talk to Jin Yan?”

“Is there anything I can't know?” Riemann's voice sounded a little playful.
