The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Chapter 189

After all, Liu Bo's hesitant demeanor didn't seem to indicate anything serious.

Xiao Li'er felt embarrassed as the others teased her.

Standing nearby, Shen Yin felt like she was intruding and prepared to leave. As she turned to go, she took a deliberate look, easily distinguishing between those who were married and those who weren't. She could immediately tell who Qin Zhenzhen and Yang Mo were.

She found herself wondering when she had become so nosy. It must be Xu Xiuhe's influence rubbing off on her.

In the company group chat, people were still enthusiastically shipping the "Yin He Couple."

Shen Yin returned to Xu Xiuhe's office and sat back down in the chair at his desk, picking up her phone.

"The 'Yin He Couple' has a nice ring to it," Shen Yin remarked.

"I don't particularly like it," Xu Xiuhe replied.

"Why not?"

"The implication doesn't seem positive. What is the Milky Way, after all? It's what separates the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, preventing them from meeting."

Shen Yin was taken aback.

"That's just a folk tale, a myth," she said.

[What are we going to do about Assistant Liu?]

Shen Yin looked at the message and asked, "Xiuhe, what happened to Assistant Liu? Why are people in the group chat wondering what to do about him?"

Xu Xiuhe walked over, having a general idea of the situation. While people above were shipping him and his wife, someone suddenly popped up asking what to do about Assistant Liu.

He had been keeping an eye on the group chat messages lately and naturally knew they were shipping him with Liu Bo.

[Liu Bo is in a relationship.]

[What? Bro, which department are you in? Is this info reliable?]

[Holy crap! The eternal bachelor has a girlfriend? I suddenly feel like I'm one step closer to finding love.]

[Oh my god, Assistant Liu has a partner? Could it be that the recent mixer was effective? Why don't I have a partner?]

[So who is it?]

A flurry of messages tagged Xu Xiuhe's alternate account.

[It's his assistant, Xiao Li'er.]

[Wow, internal affairs in the assistant department, huh? I heard there are still a few single girls there. Can someone set me up?]

It was just about time to clock out, and the messages in the group chat were multiplying rapidly.

[What did I just see? They've been keeping this under wraps so well.]

[A new ship has set sail!]

[Quick, come up with a couple name for Liu Bo and Xiao Li'er.]

[Glass CP? Bo Xiao CP? Liuli CP?]

[Let's go with the last one. Glass isn't as precious as liuli.]

The people in the assistant department were nearly dying of laughter as they read the group chat messages. If they remembered correctly, the person who just announced that Liu Bo was in a relationship was their CEO's alternate account.

So their boss knew about Liu Bo and Xiao Li'er's office romance? That was impressive—he really had his finger on the pulse of everything.

"Is it possible that the boss's wife noticed something between them earlier and used the CEO's phone to post about it when she got back?" Yang Mo suggested.

The others considered this and agreed it was plausible.

"Then she must have seen all the messages shipping the Yin He Couple too."

"I wonder how it feels to get the inside scoop from the main characters themselves."

Liu Bo was in his office, frantically reading through the group chat messages. He was panicking—how could the CEO just spill everything like that? It wasn't true; it was all fake!

He was now worried that Xiao Li'er would get angry and confront him later.

"Ready for dinner?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"Daddy, dinner!" the little one chimed in.

"Alright."

Xu Xiuhe put down his phone and picked up his son.

Shen Yin grabbed Xu Xiuhe's phone and the baby bag, and they headed down to the cafeteria.

This time, Xu Xiuhe didn't suggest eating out. The last time they ate in the employee cafeteria, things had gotten quite awkward. A successful man never stumbles twice in the same place, even if he knew that particular situation was unlikely to happen again.

Suddenly, Shen Yin's phone rang.

When she answered, Qi Ji's baby face filled the entire screen.

"Sister Yin Yin," Qi Ji greeted.

"Ah, Qi Ji."

"Wrong, not Qi Ji. From now on, you should call me your in-law."

Shen Yin looked confused for a moment before it dawned on her.

"Qi Ji, are you pregnant?"

Shu Yi, who had just entered the room, caught the tail end of the conversation: "Qi Ji, are you pregnant?"

"Oh my goodness, Qi Ji, you're my hero!" Shu Yi exclaimed.

Shu Yi was certain she hadn't misheard. Qi Ji was a woman of action—last month she said she wanted a baby, and this month she was telling them she was expecting.

"Don't get too excited. The most thrilled should be Zhengzheng—he's going to have a wife in the future," Qi Ji said.

"I'm so envious that you two are becoming in-laws," Shu Yi said, genuinely jealous.

"Can you really tell if the baby is a boy or a girl so quickly?" Shen Yin asked curiously.

"We can't," Qi Ji replied.

"Then how do you know the baby in your belly is a girl?"

"I'm guessing. It's a spiritual connection. Even if it's not a girl, it will become one."

"Hahaha, that's one way to look at it. As the godmother, I'd better work hard and earn money. In the future, I'll not only have to buy gifts for my goddaughter, but I'll also have to give a red envelope when my godson and goddaughter get married."

"You're thinking that far ahead?"

"Is it really that far off? Let me tell you some good news—I've just wrapped up this drama, and next, I'm going on a trip. I'm going somewhere far, far away."

"Where to?"

"The Tibetan City."

"Sister Shu Yi is so cute. One moment she's talking about working hard to earn money, and the next she's going on vacation."

Shen Yin chuckled as well. "I've got to go now. I'm getting hungry, so I'm off to eat."

"Bye-bye, Yin Yin."

"Bye-bye, in-law."

Shen Yin put down her phone. Xu Xiuhe had already set out all the dishes.

"Qi Ji is pregnant?" he asked.

"Yep, you've got an in-law now."

"In-law, in-law!" Xu Yunzheng clapped his hands.

"It's not your in-law. You now have a father-in-law and a mother-in-law. In the future, when you meet Uncle Jing Rui and Auntie Qi Ji, you'll have to call them Dad and Mom," Xu Xiuhe explained to Xu Yunzheng.

"But Zhengzheng already has a dad and mom," the little one protested.

"He's still young; he doesn't understand yet. When he's older, there will come a time when he'll want to call them that," Shen Yin said.

"Are you scared?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"Of what?"

"Afraid that when Zhengzheng gets a wife, he'll forget his mother," Xu Xiuhe said.

"Zhengzheng won't forget his mother when he gets a wife," the little one declared, lifting his face.

Hearing this, Shen Yin said, "I'm not afraid."

Shen Yin truly wasn't afraid. There's a saying that raising a child is a journey of self-cultivation, nurturing the parents' emotions and wisdom.

Shen Yin had always believed that if a child is raised well, they won't forget their mother.

There's a popular saying online: "The hardest job in the world is being a mom."

Although Shen Yin did not experience ten months of pregnancy, after such a long time together, the same blood flows in their bones. She has already made Zheng Zheng an inseparable part of her life.

Zheng Zheng is so well-behaved and kind now; his future path will surely be smooth.

Even if one day Zheng Zheng leaves her to sail far away on his own,

She will always wish him well. Even if he forgets her in the future, Shen Yin won't feel sad. Life always has partings, and most of life's journey is solitary. In the end, the only one who will accompany her into old age is likely to be her partner.
