Chapter 21.1 : Overturned V

After saying those words, the two of them parted ways unhappily.

Yu Zhi walked directly into the guest room next to the master bedroom. That room was originally intended for him to live separately before getting married, but it was never used.

Jiang Qianchen watched as she moved all the toiletries from the master bedroom and pursed his lips.

“Why don’t you move back in?” Jiang Qianchen fell silent for a moment. “No one has ever lived in the guest room, and it’s too small.”

He stood at the entrance of the bathroom, hesitating to step forward, but ultimately didn’t come in.

While quickly packing her facial cleanser and skincare products into a storage box, Yu Zhi answered without looking up, “Auntie usually cleans it, and the room size is just right for me to live alone.”

After finishing, she held the packed box in her arms and bluntly said to Jiang Qianchen at the door, “Excuse me, I’m going to sleep.”

Without even turning her head, Yu Zhi entered the adjacent room, too lazy to see Jiang Qianchen’s expression.

Then she locked the door, turned around, and lay on the big bed like a salted fish, deciding to have a beauty sleep to reduce the wrinkles caused by her anger just now.

Why would a fairy bother with a scumbag man? It’s not worth hurting herself.

Without someone to hold her hands and feet, she happily rolled around in bed, forgetting where she wanted to roll and peacefully entered dreamland.

Meanwhile, just a wall away, Jiang Qianchen struggled to fall asleep for a long time.

He got up from the bed and paced to the desk. The once comfortable bed now seemed spacious yet lonely. He stood up from the chair and opened the documents, only to realize that he hadn’t even turned to the second page for a long time.

Finally, the next morning arrived. Normally, at this time, Yu Zhi would wake up together with him. However, today he waited patiently but didn’t hear any sound of her getting up from the next-door room.

Jiang Qianchen regretted a bit that he had hired the most professional construction team and used the best materials for this villa, resulting in excellent soundproofing inside the house. He randomly picked a tie from the wardrobe and tried to tie it five or six times, but it still didn’t meet his satisfaction.

Jiang Qianchen stood in front of the closed door of the adjacent room, holding the tie, attempting to catch a glimpse of her figure through the wooden door. However, his efforts were in vain.

“Sir, breakfast is ready,” Aunt Chen reminded him.

Not knowing how long he had been standing there, Jiang Qianchen finally realized that it was time for work.

He absentmindedly finished his meal and instructed Aunt Chen, “Make sure my wife wakes up early and eats, don’t sleep too late.”

As if he had thought of something, Jiang Qianchen paused for a moment and finally said, “Forget it, let her be.”

Aunt Chen opened her mouth to ask but stopped herself. Something significant seemed to have happened last night when there was no one in the villa. She had watched Jiang Qianchen grow up from a young age, from his first speech as a child to becoming the leader of the new generation, but she had never seen him hesitate like he did this morning. Seeing him hurriedly leave the villa without saying much, Aunt Chen sighed. She glanced at the guest room upstairs where they slept separately and eventually decided to wait for the madam to wake up so that the couple could have a good talk.

In the car, Secretary Xu also keenly noticed that President Jiang seemed unhappy today.

Not only that, he also noticed a different detail from before – President Jiang’s tie was unexpectedly not neatly tied!

This was a shocking event! You see, based on his many years of experience following President Jiang, he knew that President Jiang was a person who held himself strictly. Not to mention basic etiquette and manners, even during the internal struggles within the company, he never had any flaws in his attire, even when working overnight. But today, there was an unexpected mishap.

Secretary Xu tactfully refrained from reporting work to President Jiang, who had a terrifying expression.

When they arrived at the company, Jiang Qianchen finally calmed his emotions. He pressed the button for the elevator that went directly to the top floor and glanced at his silent secretary beside him. “What are today’s schedules?”

Secretary Xu quickly entered work mode and reported one by one. Finally, he cautiously asked, “Also, President Jiang, Mr. Fang from the Urban Construction Company invites you to attend his daughter’s coming-of-age birthday party tomorrow night, and Mr. Xu Wenhan wants to schedule a meeting with you.”

“Cancel them all,” Jiang Qianchen replied.

Jiang Qianchen said indifferently, “Arrange it so that the department heads come over to give their performance reports.”

“Yes,” Secretary Xu replied. When he closed the office door, he couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed like another day of overtime.

The secretary’s office was so quiet all day that you could hear a pin drop. Watching the executives come and go into the CEO’s office, no one dared to make a sound.

Finally, when it was time to leave work, everyone dared to secretly discuss:

“Is President Jiang in a bad mood today? I can tell from the expressions of those executives leaving the office.”

“Yeah, the atmosphere today is too oppressive. I didn’t even dare to go to the restroom, afraid that President Jiang would see me not at my desk.”

“Have you noticed,” although it was taboo to gossip about the boss’s personal matters, a certain sharp-eyed employee couldn’t help but share, “President Jiang’s outfit seems a bit mismatched today.”

Everyone turned their attention to her, listening to her analysis. “I’ve been secretly paying attention to President Jiang’s attire because I wanted to buy a suit for my husband. You may not have noticed, but President Jiang never repeats a suit within a week, and even the small accessories like cufflinks are always well-coordinated.”

“But today, President Jiang wore this suit not only on Monday, and the tie doesn’t match well, it’s even a bit crooked.”

“But this is just my subjective guess, I might be talking nonsense, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s correct.”

Several people looked at each other, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.

In the past, it seemed like this matter was the responsibility of the wife. President Jiang had unintentionally shown them gifts from his wife before, and they had sadly eaten dog food at that time. But now, with the various signs they discovered, could it be that there was really some problem in the relationship between President Jiang and his wife?

No wonder the atmosphere today was so gloomy. Everyone could only silently pray in their hearts, hoping for world peace.

“It probably isn’t the wife’s fault anyway,” a certain employee whispered. The wife was beautiful and gentle. When she came to the company before, she even thanked him when he helped her carry things. She was simply a fairy.
