My Breathtaking CEO Wife - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 – The Visit to the Bride’s Home?

Li Tian walked out of the corner and headed straight to home.

He didn’t care much about the man who had been following him. If he dared to follow Li Tian, then he should’ve been able to bear the consequences that would come with it.

Although he wasn’t completely sure who ordered that man to follow him, Li Tian had an idea of who it could be.

The Kong Dong sect. He heard Qin Yu Han mention them before. As Li Tian knew a little about some of the major sects in the country, Li Tian wanted to tease the people from the Kong Dong sect.

After she came home, Lin Yi sat on the sofa as she usually would. However, she couldn’t focus on reading the magazine in her hands.

She witnessed Li Tian get into Chen Ya Jing’s car right in front of her eyes. It was only around 6:30 in the evening then, but it was now almost 11.

Needless to say, it was quite obvious what they were up to.

Lin Yi really wanted to ask Li Tian why he did this. Was it because he wasn’t satisfied with her although she had been trying her best?

However, when she looked up, she immediately saw Li Tian with a busted lip. She suddenly forgot what she wanted to ask him before.

“You got into a fight with someone again?”

Lin Yi wrinkled her eyebrows and asked.

“Uh… I guess you could say so.”

Got into a fight? I just killed someone.

“Ask Wang Ma to get the first aid kit for you. There’s some ointment in there.”

Lin Yi thought that she said the right thing at that time. After all, she was still in the process of ‘learning’ how to be more caring towards Li Tian.

“It’s fine, it’s just a small injury. It’ll heal by tomorrow.”

Li Tian didn’t seem to mind anyway. If he knew that Lin Yi was actually trying to care for him, he would’ve laughed out loud because it didn’t even feel anything remotely close to that.

“Rest well. Tomorrow, we’ll go to my house together.”

Huh?

Suddenly, Li Tian remembered something.

Oh yeah. We’re supposed to visit the bride’s home tomorrow.

Does that mean that I can’t go on the trip with the team?

Li Tian had completely forgotten about going back to Lin Yi’s home. He thought that he should let his colleagues know that he wouldn’t be able to join them as soon as possible.

“Okay, I’ll make a call to inform our colleagues that I won’t be able to make it to the trip.”

Li Tian knew which was more important, so it was easy to arrive at a decision.

Never mind. There’s always a next time.

Lin Yi didn’t say much. Although she was the one who decided on when the PR department was going on the trip, she never expected that Li Tian would be in the team as well.

“Ma’am, I can’t make it tomorrow. I have to return to my wife’s home with her tomorrow.

“Of course I can’t postpone it. There are rules to follow, you know.”

‘Ma’am, would it make any difference just because I won’t be there? There’s no need to get angry. Just calm down…”

Li Tian hung up on the call feeling annoyed. He then glanced at Lin Yi.

“You should manage your staff better, she called me a ‘jerk’…”

Li Tian complained to Lin Yi. He thought, I’m her husband, so she should side with me and teach Su Xiao Yue a lesson, right…?

Okay, perhaps she won’t do that. But she’ll at least tell Su Xiao Yue to apologize to me, right?

As expected, Lin Yi took her phone out right away.

“Xiao Yue, there’s a guy called Li Tian in your department, right? He’s already applied for a leave from me personally.”

Lin Yi said in the gentlest tone possible.

Hey, she just called your husband a ‘jerk’! Don’t you feel the need to say something to her?

“You… really need him to go on the trip?”

Suddenly, Lin Yi said, as her eyebrows wrinkled.

Li Tian was stunned when he heard that. What was that? Did Su Xiao Yue just go against the CEO?

“Oh, I see. Then, you guys can go there first tomorrow. I’ll tell him to join you in the afternoon so he should be there by evening.”

What? Li Tian thought that he misheard Lin Yi. Did she just say that she would tell me to go there tomorrow?

Where? Hiking with the rest of the PR department, of course!

“Honey, what did you…”

Li Tian asked right after Lin Yi hung up the phone.

“We’ll go to my house early tomorrow morning and be back by lunchtime. I’ll arrange a driver to send you there. You’re a new employee at the company so it’s not good to miss out on team building events like this. Just enjoy your time with them for the next two days, I won’t blame you.”

Lin Yi headed upstairs as soon as she finished talking.

You won’t blame me? I’ll be the one blaming you.

Why? He simply didn’t want to rush here and there tomorrow. Plus, she just called me a ‘jerk’ just now, how could you not say anything to her?

Li Tian didn’t expect that Lin Yi and Su Xiao Yue would be this close, to the point where Lin Yi would choose to side with Su Xiao Yue instead of Li Tian.

The truth was when Su Xiao Yue told Lin Yi that she needed Li Tian to join them, Lin Yi immediately came to a decision.

He’d be meeting that homewrecker if he stayed here anyways. I’d rather him go there.

That was Lin Yi’s thought when she told Su Xiao Yue that she would let Li Tian go join them in the afternoon.

As Chen Ya Jing was new to the Advertising Department, naturally, she wouldn’t be able to leave the office without a valid reason. Anyways, now it seemed like she had no chance of seeing Li Tian for the next couple of days.

Li Tian really wanted to know what Su Xiao Yue told Lin Yi. How could someone who had been asking him to go back to her parent’s house with her suddenly agree to let him go on the trip?

As the old saying goes, ‘the demon must be here when something unusual happens’. However, Li Tian didn’t know who the ‘demon’ was supposed to be.

Lin Yi? I don’t think so. She’s my wife, she wouldn’t betray me, right?

Perhaps it’s Su Xiao Yue?

Of course it’d be her. She hates me, but still wants me to be there!

However, there was something more important to worry about. He was visiting the bride’s home tomorrow.

Technically speaking, Lin Yi and Li Tian didn’t have a wedding reception when they got married so it was up to Lin Yi if she wanted to have the ‘replacement’ ceremony. As for tomorrow, Li Tian felt nervous due to the fact that he was going to meet the entire Lin family this time.

However, the next morning, Li Tian woke up to find a bunch of stuff on the table in the living room.

“Wang Ma, these are…”

Li Tian asked.

“Sir, these are the gifts sent by the Li family. There’s a lot of lavish presents, such as fine white tallow jade, premium quality emerald, and hundred-year-old ginseng.”

Wang Ma briefly introduced the items to Li Tian, but Li Tian’s expressions turned sour when he heard that they were sent by the Li family.

As expected, their reputation and image are the most important to them! However, Li Tian was secretly relieved when he saw the gifts, as it meant that he didn’t have to worry about getting gifts for the Lin family himself.
