The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 179
“So we’re good with Wednesday next week right?”
They agreed that the press conference will be on on Wednesday next week, since it is still Monday today they still have a lot of time to prepare and to free their schedules as well.
“Yeah, I don’t think we have any problems with that. During this time, we’ll slowly deal with the others.” it doesn’t mean that the press conference will be held next week, their plans would only be executed by then as well.
Naturally, their plans would be implemented as soon as possible.
“We’ve mostly covered everything, I think that’s it for now.” Li Jingli said.
Xi Ana leaned her back on the couch and stretched her sore neck a little. Her neck was stiff since this afternoon, with the long duration of work and with this meeting it’s no wonder it is already sore.
“I think I need a cup of coffee. How about the two of you?”
“I’m good, I just want to stretch a little bit.” Xi Ana said with her eyes closed.
Fang Wenna turned to Li Jingli, “How about you?”
Li Jingli waved his hand as he answered, “It’s okay, don’t mind us and make your coffee.”
“Alright.” Fang Wenna then strode off to the kitchen.
On the other hand, Li Jingli turned to Xi Ana as he noticed her discomfort. “Is it painful?”
“It’s bearable, don’t worry.”
“I’ll get pain relieve patches to lessen the soreness.” before Xi Ana could tell him not to bother he is already at the entrance to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Xi Ana frowned. “Why were their legs so long?” she mumbled to herself before closing her eyes once again.
It’s already past 11 when they finished everything they needed to do, every papers that needs to be signed has already been signed and since all has been done it’s already time to go home, Xi Ana thought.
Her husband might still be awake right now. She stood up, gathered her things and picked up her phone which she hadn’t touch since the moment their meeting started.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/husband-is-here!_51951844519374659″>#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/husband-is-here!_51951844519374659</a> for visiting.
She would just wait for the two so that she could go. Just when she was about to check whether she had received any messages or calls during their meeting, Fang Wenna came out of the kitchen carrying a mug for herself.
“You’re still going home?” seeing her friend ready to go home, Fang Wenna widened her eyes as she asked.
“Set down your mug, you might burn yourself!” Xi Ana reminded.
“Oh, right! Anyway, don’t tell me you are still going back to Imperial when it’s already this late?”
It’s reasonable that Fang Wenna would ask because from Sky City to Imperial Residence, it will still take at least an hour of driving.
“Yeah, I already told Yi Sheng that I will still go home tonight though a little bit late.” she unlocked her phone but there was no messages and so she just dropped it inside her bag.
“Just give him a call and tell him that we finished later than what you had expected I’m sure he will understand.” there was a trace of worry on her face and it’s clear that she is reluctant to let her leave.
“It’s fine, I’ll let one of Jingli’s trusted person to accompany me back home, will that make you feel at ease?” ever since before, Li Jingli would only let those who he trusted most when it comes to driving them anywhere and he would only resort to this if he really can’t drive them to where they will go.
It’s not like this is the first time that she will go home late, there are times when she would even go home at dawn so something like this isn’t new but today it seems like they were more worried than usual?
Even Lim Yi Sheng reminded her earlier to just ask Li Jingli for someone who can drive her back. What’s with these two today?
Is there a superstitious belief about that, well anyway Xi Ana does not believe in superstitions but for the peace of mind of everyone, she should just ask Jingli for a driver.
“Li Jingli, can I borrow one of your trusted subordinates?” she called out.
Li Jingli also came out of the kitchen carrying patches on one hand and a glass of water on the other. When he saw that Xi Ana is already prepared to leave, he also eyed her questioningly!
He walked towards her and handed the things he’s holding. The warmth of the glass of water travelled through her palm.
“Are you planning to drive home when it’s already this late? Sleep here, for what reason do you even own this suite if you won’t use it for the purpose of sleeping. Call Lim Yi Sheng and tell him.” he sounded like a father scolding her daughter for wanting to go out in the middle of the night.
“I already told her that but she seems adamant on going home.”
Just what is the matter with her driving home? Did they check her horoscope for today that’s why they were acting like this?
“There is nothing to worry about, if you guys don’t want me to drive then I won’t. You can pick a person to send me back .Furthermore, aren’t there enough people to protect me?” since this is them caring and worrying about her, she really should not blame them.
“If you really insist on going home then I’ll drive you back. Wait here for me, I’ll just grab my keys inside my room.” this is Xi Ana’s suite but the rooms that she had booked for Fang Wenna and Li Jingli are also on this floor.
Before Xi Ana can refuse and Li Jingli could go out to get his keys, Xi Ana’s phone suddenly rang from the inside of her bag. “Stay here and don’t get out. I’ll just answer this call.”
She said to Li Jingli because she still wanted to persuade him that it doesn’t have to be him ho will drive her home, traveling back and forth will take almost two hours!
When she took her phone out, she saw that it was Lim Yi Sheng who is calling. Another worrywart, she thought to herself but her lips were curved in a smile.
With her back on her friends, she answered the call. As soon as the call was connected, she heard the voice of her husband, “Are you done, dear?”
Xi Ana could tell from his voice that he still didn’t sleep.
“Yeah, we’re done. I’m actually about to go home. Anyway, you should have gone to sleep already.”
“I see then I’ll wait for you down here.”
He said ‘i’ll wait for you down here’, right? Did she hear what he said correctly? “What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’re here at Sky City?”
Xi Ana could already see the probability that he is really here, it’s just that it’s a little bit surprising.
“Uhm.. I’m here. Take your time going down, let’s talk later.” he said cooly.
“Was that Lim Yi Sheng?”
Xi Ana turned around, her face still has trace of shock on it. “Yeah, unexpectedly he is already waiting at the parking lot so you don’t have to send me anymore.”
She drank the water that Li Jingli gave and stuffed the pain relief patches on her bag.
“He’s already here?” Li Jingli is also surprised. If he’s already here then who knows what tie did he leave Imperial Residence.
“Apparently.”
“If he’s already here then I’ll just send you until the parking lot. Do you miss each other this much?” Li Jingli joked but Xi Ana ignored the latter part of his sentence.
“There’s no need, I can go by myself. You two can rest for the night.”
“Ana.”
She really intended to just go on her own but the stern voice of Li Jingli leaves her no choice but to yield .
“Alright, as you said so.” if she insists more, she ‘s sure that she would be reprimanded by this man again
“You coming, Wenna?” Li Jingli asked Fang Wenna though she would probably say no.
“No, just send my regards to Lim Yi Sheng.” Fang Wenna refused since she is already tired for the day, even though there is an elevator it will still be tiring to go down from here to the ground floor.
“Alright.”
“I’ll leave for my room already after finishing my coffee, once you go up just go straight to your room as well. We’ll see each other in the morning anyway.”
“Okay.”
Li Jingli walked towards the coat hanger and took their coats and he handed Xi Ana her own.
“See you next week, Wenna.” Xi Ana said.
The next time they will see each other will be on the day of the press conference already because they will be heading back to City M in the morning.
