The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: How is That My Fault?
“Mrs. Lin, I did not expect you to be so cruel,” Secretary Shi said.

An Nuan raised a brow.

She had very minimum interaction with this secretary and now, she had suddenly become an evil woman? Just what did she do?

An Nuan observed Secretary Shi closely and finally noted that the woman was on the verge of crying.

Fortunately, there was no one else around in the restroom. Or else, someone might think that she was bullying Secretary Shi.

“I know that you don’t like me that much,” Secretary Shi said. “But how can you ask Mr. Lin to fire me?”

Lin Xiao Feng fired his secretary?

An Nuan would not know about this if Secretary Shi did not tell her.

“Secretary Shi, my husband fired you. But why would you blame me? How is that my fault?”

“Why wouldn’t I blame you?” Secretary Shi asked. “Mrs. Lin, if it was not for your instigation, Mr. Lin would not fire me.”

An Nuan suddenly recalled that day she visited Lin Xiao Feng at his office.

She ran into Secretary Shi and this woman was preventing her from meeting Lin Xiao Feng.

An Nuan was unhappy but she did not say a word to Lin Xiao Feng about her encounter with Secretary Shi.

But now, she was blamed for something that she did not do.

Wasn’t this interesting?

“Secretary Shi, you are wrong,” An Nuan said. “I have never meddled in my husband’s work matters. Why would you think that I instigated him to fire you? What makes you think that my husband would listen to me?”

“You’re his wife. Why wouldn’t he listen to you?”

An Nuan looked at the secretary deeply. Her eyes narrowed. “Secretary Shi, you should be careful with your words. My husband had a very good reputation. Are you trying to ruin his reputation by saying that he is someone who would harm others for his personal gain?”

Lin Xiao Feng was about to be promoted.

Right now, An Nuan knows that Lin Xiao Feng has a good reputation. He was capable in his work and was a clean man.

If others heard Secretary Shi’s words, they would doubt Lin Xiao Feng’s character.

Then, his chance to get promoted would lessen.

She was not going to let anyone ruin his future.

Everyone only sees how Lin Xiao Feng had a good position beside the mayor now.

However, as someone who grew up with this man, An Nuan had seen how Lin Xiao Feng worked hard.

He seemed to know that he wanted to enter politics from early on and had been listening to his grandfather’s words.

As teenagers, the boys his age would still play around.

But Lin Xiao Feng studied hard in school. The only time she saw him having fun with his friends was at the basketball court.

Thinking about it, An Nuan realized that Lin Xiao Feng’s life was not very easy, especially with his strict grandfather.

The light in An Nuan’s eyes dimmed as she recalled the old scars on Lin Xiao Feng’s body. Her heart was aching for him.

“Secretary Shi, you’re looking for the wrong person.” An Nuan chuckled. “If you’re unhappy with your dismissal, shouldn’t you look for my husband and ask him?”

An Nuan thought of countless reasons Lin Xiao Feng would fire the secretary. However, she would never link the secretary’s dismissal with herself.

Lin Xiao Feng pampered her a lot but he will not fire Secretary Shi because of her.

“Secretary Shi, I’m sure that my husband has given you a reason for your dismissal,” An Nuan said. “If you think that it was unfair, you can fight him. Find a union, lawyer, or something. Do I have to teach you everything?”

Initially, An Nuan thought that Secretary Shi should be an intelligent person. Otherwise, Lin Xiao Feng would not keep her by his side. But recently, An Nuan felt that this secretary was quite brainless.

Secretary Shi choked on her breath.

She had prepared to say a lot of things to An Nuan but she had never expected to hear An Nuan telling her to hire a lawyer.

Just what kind of wife was willing to see her husband get sued?

While Secretary Shi was in a daze, An Nuan took the chance to leave.

A breath of relief escaped her lips once she walked out the door.

An Nuan planned to return to the hall and find Lin Xiao Feng before he started to worry.

Thinking of her conversation with Secretary Shi made An Nuan frown.

She wondered if she should ask Assistant Lu about Secretary Shi’s dismissal. Surely, Assistant Lu would know something.

An Nuan did not believe that Lin Xiao Feng would dismiss his secretary without a reason.

She was about to reach the hall again when the door was pulled open from the inside.

A second later, Lin Xiao Feng walked out with an anxious look on his face. Their eyes met. An Nuan watched the frown on Lin Xiao Feng’s face disapperared and be replaced with relief.

It seemed that this man was worried when she did not return for a long time.

The thought made An Nuan smile.

“Why are you here?” An Nuan asked as she walked closer to Lin Xiao Feng. “Have I been gone for too long?”

Lin Xiao Feng had an awkward smile on his face. It took a brief second for him to compose himself. “No. But I suddenly missed you.”

An Nuan was stunned upon hearing Lin Xiao Feng’s words. Then, she broke into laughter.

This man was telling her that he missed her with a straight face.

Her husband was too adorable.

“Sweet talker. I was away for a few minutes,” An Nuan said. She poked his chest with a finger while. “Be careful. If someone hears your words, they might laugh at you.”

“I don’t mind.” Lin Xiao Feng smiled. “It’s best for everyone to know how much I am in love with my wife.”

An Nuan felt as if her heart was drenched in honey.

His words were very pleasant to hear.

She liked this man more and more each day.
