n“…”

nWhen did she become so timid? She was audacious enough to make up an excuse to give me the slip a few days ago, right?

nWalking up to her, he flipped the quilt aside to reveal her cherubic face. “What have you done wrong?”

n“Done wrong… I… I’m only lying here… What could I have done wrong…?” she stuttered along.

nHe cocked his brow at her guilt-ridden face. Is this a face that has done nothing wrong?

n“My friends will come over tonight.” Truth be told, he had caught that strange look of hers many times. However, he never pursued the matter further.

nHe was very satisfied with his little wife right now, so if she wanted to keep some small secrets to herself, he would not object.

nRemembering her role as his virtuous wife, she immediately quipped, “Do you want me to prepare anything for your gathering tonight?”

n“Something simple will do,” he told her.

nAlthough he had said that the dinner would be a simple affair, she dared not venture out today and, instead, stayed at home to get ready.

nOne of the rules for a virtuous wife was that the woman had to be capable, whether as a housekeeper or in the kitchen. In short, she should not disgrace her husband.

nTo start with, she made a call to PA Wang to find out the culinary preferences of his friends who were coming over tonight. Besides getting the kitchen helpers to prepare the meal according to their tastes, she also stepped in to cook some dishes she was good at.

nAfter that, she changed into an appropriate attire and waited for him to return home.

nWhen the man came through the door with his friends, she thought she was watching a fashion catwalk there and then!

nAll of them were slender, tall, and were absolutely drool-worthy oppas 1!

nIt was heart-throttling as they moved toward her in a singular line, so much so that she almost wanted to raise her hand to her chest to calm her racing heart!

nShe wanted very much to call Li Meng at this time. Surely, her bestie would go crazy being surrounded by so many handsome men!

nStill, despite her unsettled nerves, she maintained an elegant smile as she got up and greeted her husband. “Hubby, you’re back.”

n“Yes.” He hummed a soft acknowledgment.

nDue to his father’s poor constitution, the two of them had merely registered their marriage but did not hold a wedding. Hence, other than Gong Zeye, who was their marriage witness, the rest of his friends had not seen her before.

nThis was the reason they made a trip to his place tonight as well.

n“Good evening, little sister-in-law!” Gong Zeye led the troop to greet her.

n“Good evening, Mr. Gong.” She gave him a smile that was befitting of a graceful lady.

nAlthough she had dressed for the part of a good wife, formal and refined, her youthful and pixie-pie face gave away her age. As such, the rest of his friends decided to address her in the manner that Gong Zeye did.

n“Little sister-in-law, I’m Fu Siye.”

n“LIttle sister-in-law, I’m Han Yichen.”

n“My name is Meng Lichuan, little sister-in-law.”

n“Jin Chen here.”

n“Good evening, everyone.” Her smile became sweeter and wider.

n“This is a gift from us to you, little sis-in-law. Hope you like it.”

n“Thank you.” She received it with a smile.

nAfter exchanging courtesies, she went to the kitchen to get the food ready.

n“What do you think? How do you find her? Our little sister-in-law is indeed pretty and adorable, right?!” Gong Zeye blurted.

n“I didn’t know Brother Bao was into such a look,” Jin Chen retorted. He had been curious to find out what kind of woman their chief was in love with—one whom the latter readily doted on.

nAfter today, all he could say was that his chief liked freshmeat 1!

nThe rest of the guys chipped in their agreement; this was the last thing they expected, indeed!
