Chapter 19

Jiang Lai was slightly stunned when she saw the figures of Shen Xun and Lin Shutong, and she subconsciously stood a little further away, seemingly knowing that she needed a bit of propriety, justice, integrity, and shame.

Shen Xun didn't know that she had signed the divorce agreement, and others wouldn't know either; in their eyes, she was still Shen Xun's wife.

Secretary Cen called out with a smile: "President Shen, and this one, Mrs. Shen?"

When Lin Shutong heard this "Mrs. Shen," the look she gave Jiang Lai held even more provocation.

"No." Shen Xun said, looking at Jiang Lai.

The smile at the corner of Lin Shutong's mouth froze, and she said: "A-Xun and I are friends."

Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan often saw various presidents and knew that everyone liked to keep underground lovers, so they understood and smiled as if they knew nothing.

Jiang Lai stood to the side, cold from head to toe.

"Jiang Lai." Shen Xun suddenly called her.

Lin Shutong also smiled: "Jiang Lai, why do you seem like you don't know A-Xun and me? Don't misunderstand, we're just shopping together."

Shopping after buying a large flat?

And shopping in the mall that Shen Xun had promised her but never fulfilled.

Sure enough, where love is, money is.

Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan were surprised and asked Jiang Lai: "You know President Shen?"

Jiang Lai looked at Shen Xun, her expression indifferent: "I know him."

She didn't expose their relationship; Shen Xun felt that she should be happy that she was sensible, but he didn't know why his heart felt blocked instead.

Lin Shutong didn't know the people around Ke Zhongyu and said with a smile: "Are you Jiang Lai's friends? Bringing her out shopping, but Jiang Lai hasn't been to this kind of place much; if there's anything that makes a fool of herself, you have to bear with it."

They say women understand women best; this tea-like scent was already ready to burst out.

Secretary Guan's expression changed slightly.

Secretary Cen's eyes circled the three of them and she took Jiang Lai's arm and said: "That's right, the three of us are friends, here shopping. We'll go first; wish you two a happy shopping trip."

She originally wanted to say, "So what if she hasn't been to this place?" but this woman was President Shen's friend, and she didn't dare to offend her.

The two pulled Jiang Lai and left.

"Jiang Lai." Shen Xun spoke again, stepping forward to grab Jiang Lai's hand.

Jiang Lai stood still: "President Shen, what is it?"

Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan observed everything, intuitively feeling that the current situation was very wrong.

Secretary Guan took out her phone.

【Help! Zhou Zhou! President Shen of Star Universe Technology seems to have taken a fancy to Secretary Jiang and is trying to force her; send support immediately.】

【How can our Ke Clan people go with Star Universe people? Think of a way, Zhou Zhou.】

On the other side, Special Assistant Zhou saw the message and felt dark; President Shen and Jiang Lai were husband and wife, so there was no such thing as forcing, but their President Ke seemed to want to pry someone away from their spouse.

On this side, Jiang Lai pulled her wrist away.

"What did you call me?" Shen Xun had heard Jiang Lai call him "Senior," call him "Husband," call him "Shen Xun," but never "President Shen," as if she were deliberately drawing a line.

Jiang Lai repeated: "President Shen."

"Are you angry at me for last night?" Shen Xun looked at her reddened wrist and softened his tone, "Let's talk about it when we get home, okay?"

The man had clearly returned to his previous tenderness, but Jiang Lai was not happy at all; her heart still felt nauseous, just like that apple she had been longing for since she was a child, thinking it was left for her by someone else, only to take a bite and find it was all rotten inside. The bitterness would spread in her mouth, and the rotten stench couldn't be washed away even with mouthwash.

"I'm at work, President Shen."

Shen Xun looked at the mall, "At work?"

Secretary Cen nodded: "Yes, President Ke asked us to come buy things."

Lin Shutong gradually realized, "You are Ke Zhongyu's?"

Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan looked at each other; this woman called President Ke by his full name, did she know President Ke? And had a good relationship with President Ke?

"We are President Ke's secretaries, and so is Jiang Lai."

Lin Shutong was slightly surprised; she had only mentioned it to her grandfather yesterday, and her grandfather had acted so quickly?

"Jiang Lai, you got promoted so quickly, congratulations." Lin Shutong's smile looked sincere.

Shen Xun, however, was unhappy, but he couldn't take her away in front of Ke Zhongyu's secretaries.

"Shutong, you go back first; I have something I want to say to Jiang Lai."

Lin Shutong had already won Shen Xun's heart before, and she had won Shen Xun's body last night, so she wasn't afraid at all and said with a smile: "Okay."

She left.

Shen Xun said politely again: "Two ladies, can I have a word with Jiang Lai alone?"

Secretary Cen and Secretary Guan both felt something was wrong, but this was the famous President Shen; what could they do?

Jiang Lai didn't want her affairs to involve them and asked them to go ahead and wait for her.

The two left, and as soon as they reached the corner, they took out their phones, frantically sending messages to Special Assistant Zhou, and even secretly took photos.

Jiang Lai was pulled by Shen Xun in the opposite direction, arriving at the stairwell of the emergency exit.

"Jiang Lai, why did you call me President Shen just now?"

"I am now President Ke's secretary, and it's work hours; shouldn't I call you President Shen? Last night, you also called me Secretary Jiang."

"You really are angry because of this." Shen Xun gripped her shoulders and bent down to explain, "Jiang Lai, it's not that I don't want to acknowledge the relationship between us, it's because my status and your current status don't allow it. The wife of the President of Star Universe Technology is the secretary of the President of the Ke Group?"

"Let go first." Facing a man much taller and larger than herself, Jiang Lai couldn't break free at all.

Shen Xun didn't let go either, but after sighing, he admitted his mistake: "Okay, this matter is my fault, but can you think for me? Either you have a good career, or you are a housewife; I can tell people either one. But you insist on not being a good Mrs. Shen and go do such a job."

"Even if you became Ke Zhongyu's secretary, do you know how many people look down on the secretary profession? Haven't you heard the saying? If there's something to do, the secretary does it..."

"My wife, yet she's another man's secretary?" There was disgust in Shen Xun's eyes, mixed with a trace of jealousy he didn't even know he had.

"That's why I asked you to resign; hurry up and finish the resignation procedures." Shen Xun's tone became solemn, "Jiang Lai, hurry up and finish the resignation procedures, and let's have a child; you can decide how many to have. I know you've always wanted children, and saying you didn't was just angry talk."

"Shen Xun." Jiang Lai also called his name, her tone also very solemn, "Why did you suddenly want children? You used to say you didn't like children and wouldn't want them."

"The past is the past, and now is now."

"Why did it change?" Jiang Lai stared at his face, not letting go of a single change in expression, "Or did it never change, and I just didn't know?"

Shen Xun's heart was shaken.

He suspected that Jiang Lai had heard something.

He panicked a little.

"Wife..."

"I don't like you calling me that."

Emotional infidelity is a chronic poison in the bone marrow; physical infidelity is a clean-cut, dirty blow.

Shen Xun had done both.

Too dirty.

Jiang Lai couldn't help but want to vomit again and turned to look for a trash can.

Shen Xun grabbed her wrist: "Jiang Lai, what's wrong with you? Last night you didn't come back, and now you're vomiting. Where did you go last night? And what did you do with whom?"

Simply a thief crying "thief."
