My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 331: The Bossy President Got Selfish (Part Two)

Jing Yichen shook his head and chuckled. “Honestly, women should not be too smart. I liked it when you were a bit dumb.”

His young, beloved wife had seen through him. He did have an ulterior motive of getting her out of the financial department.

“I don’t want to be dumb!”

Shangguan Ning had never thought of herself as someone smart. She was excellent in language and sports, but she was normal at everything else.

She belonged to the group who were strong in muscle but simple in brain.

But however dumb she might be, she understood that Jing Yichen couldn’t possibly want to remove her from the financial business if she was so good and make her go somewhere else, without any valid reason. These two departments were operating well with the respective deputy presidents and she wouldn’t have anything to do there.

The car soon reached the Landscape Compound. Jing Yichen parked the car and went up the elevator hand in hand with his wife.

The morning sun shone upon the spacious and clean bedroom through the large floor-to-ceiling window. It brought a golden warmth to the entire house, making the couple feel comfortable.

Sitting on the bed, Jing Yichen pulled Shangguan Ning upon his thighs and put his chin against her head as he said softly, “I was being selfish in removing you from the financial department. Oh man, I mixed private affairs with business, what should I do?”

Shangguan Ning felt helpless. She said in disbelief, “Are you still jealous of Ji Bo?”

Jing Yiran said in composure. “Yeah? So what?”

“.....”

Shangguan Ning really had no idea what was she supposed to say. He was admitting that he was being selfish. She was a Deputy President, lower ranked than the President.

“I object! I have nothing to do with Ji Bo. What are you thinking all the time? If I liked him, I would have gotten together with him ages ago.”

Jing Yichen smiled seeing that she got anxious.

He trusted his wife, but he didn’t trust Ji Bo.

He was a man and clearly understood what Ji Bo’s look had meant. He had an appreciating look when he looked at Shangguan Ning, but not when he looked at his own fiancée.

But he was not going to tell his wife about that. He was not stupid enough to tell his woman that someone else had eyes upon her.

Jing Yichen was not going to sit still if some other man had eyes upon his wife.

Ji Bo looked like a gentleman on the surface. He was not going to do anything to Shangguan Ning upfront and Jing Yichen couldn’t just tell him to get out of his sight because of that.

But he just couldn’t stand Ji Bo’s looking at Shangguan Ning and that’s why he had to ask his wife to take over another department to stay away from Ji Bo.

Jing Yichen placed his hand on Shangguan Ning’s smooth cheeks with a smile. “I trust you, Ning, I know you don’t like him, because I know that this place...”

He moved his fingers from her cheeks to her heart, “Of yours only belongs to me. I don’t doubt that. You don’t need to explain anything, I can feel it all, baby.”

“But there is one more reason why I don’t want you to be the head of financial department any more.” Jing Yichen paused.

“Family Ji’s Enterprise has been extremely active, recently. Ji Bo is getting closer and closer to Jing Yiran and he is a dangerous man. I don’t want you to step into the dangerous pit. I will handle all the dangers. It is a war between men and you have nothing to do with it. What you need to do is to stand behind me and enjoy whatever happiness and peace a woman should enjoy.”

Shangguan Ning felt her heart hop.

That was what he was always like. He barely said any passionate words and almost never said “I love you”. But she would be moved to tears by whatever he said when he was being serious, and she would always feel her heart soften.

He was such a chauvinistic man who felt that he should bear all the responsibilities and face all the difficulties alone. He wanted to create a place for her where she could live happily and without any concern.

If she had not insisted upon going to work, Jing Yichen would have never let her. He would have said the following words –”I can work and you can focus upon being pretty. Spend as much as money you wish and I will take you wherever you want to. If you want to run your own company, I will send you a team of technicians.”

She had heard about Ji Bo’s constant communication with Jing Yiran and she also knew that the gentle looking Ji Bo was an ambitious man. Jing Yichen was right about the potential danger.

Actually, it wouldn’t make any difference for Shangguan Ning whichever department she worked for.

Just as Jing Yichen said, she had good knowledge about real estate, because that was what her Uncle’s business was all about. She had been close to her Uncle and had heard a lot of babbling about real estate since she was young. He had intended to give half of Family Huang’s Properties to her, and kept telling her about the knowledge and experience related to real estate.

She just found it weird that Jing Yichen suddenly wanted to remove her from the financial department.

Shangguan Ning knew pretty well that she was not a match against Ji Bo. She was just a businesswoman who had previously been living in the Ivory Tower with no competition. She didn’t have so many countermeasures to compete with Ji Bo who had grown up in the business field.

She smiled and pinched Jing Yichen’s face. “Tell me straight up if you have anything to say next time. No more hidden messages. I am dumb, remember?”

That was basically a “yes” to leave the financial business.

Jing Yiran felt his heart full of warmth and a happy smile hovered on his lips.

His wife always cared so much about him and was always so understanding. She could let go of the financial business which she had spent so much effort upon, so easily.

“Aren’t you feeling any reluctance? The financial department staff admires you a lot, now.”

Shangguan Ning looked up at his handsome face. “Nothing to be reluctant about. I have achieved so much with them because of you. If not for your talks with Ji Bo, we would not have gotten that extra help. Also, you are my husband and the financial department belongs to the enterprise that belongs to you, who belongs to me. So I have got everything, and there is no such thing as a loss.”

Jing Yichen burst into laughter after hearing her reasonable statement. “Yes, yes, you are my queen. Everything I have acquired is yours.”

As a matter of fact, the main reason why Jing Yichen removed Shangguan Ning from the financial business was because he had decided to establish a professional financial business team to negotiate with Ji Bo.

And Ji Bo’s dream would be fulfilled if he was to meet Shangguan Ning every single day of the negotiation.
