The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Rumor

In the afternoon, Secretary Shi picked up the candies that Lin Xiao Feng had ordered and distributed them around the office.

Everyone was confused when they received the candies. Their confusion turned to shock when they heard that Lin Xiao Feng was no longer an eligible bachelor.

Instantly, they pulled Secretary Shi to the side, wanting to ask her about their boss’s marriage. As the secretary, Shi Ning had spent a lot of time with Lin Xiao Feng. Everyone thought that she should know the identity of Mrs. Lin.

However, Secretary Shi could not give them an answer. She too was curious about the identity of Lin Xiao Feng’s wife. She could not remember if she had seen Lin Xiao Feng getting close to any women for as long as she had worked under Lin Xiao Feng.

Therefore, Secretary Shi was also curious about his wife.

Unfortunately for her, Lin Xiao Feng did not say much about the wife he had recently married.

Other than asking her to distribute the candies to celebrate the happy event in his life, Lin Xiao Feng did not say anything else.

“Secretary Shi.” One of the girls, Xu Zhen pulled her aside as Secretary Shi entered the pantry with an empty coffee mug in her hand. Xu Zhen swept her eyes around before looking at the secretary again. “Mr. Lin really got married?”

Secretary Shi’s expression turned uglier. She was tired of answering this question.

After she had helped to distribute the wedding candies for their boss, everyone came to look for her to ask the same question that she did not know the answer to.

“That is what Mr.Lin told me earlier.” Secretary Shii forced herself to stay calm.

“It’s not fake news?” Xu Zhen asked again. “Mr. Lin had remained single for a long time. I never heard or seen him getting close to another woman outside. How can he be married?”

Secretary Shi wanted to leave. However, the girl continued to hold her arm tightly.

“That’s right,” Xu Zhen continued. “Yi Jiao said that she saw the wedding ring on Mr. Lin’s hand. Secretary Shi, is that true?”

“There was indeed a wedding ring,” Secretary Shi mumbled. Her brow furrowed as she recalled the wedding ring that Lin Xiao Feng wore. She thought that the wedding ring was unsuitable for the man. She felt that the wedding ring was too ugly and too loose for her boss’s finger.

It was an eyesore.

Xu Zhen inhaled a sharp breath upon hearing the secretary’s confirmation.

Secretary Shi snapped out of her thoughts and looked the girl in the eyes. “Xu Zhen, I’m busy. If you still want to ask questions about Mr. Lin’s marriage, why don’t you go and find him yourself?”

Without waiting for the girl to answer, Secretary Shi turned around to leave.

She came to the pantry to make herself some coffee. But after running into Xu Zhen, Secretary Shi was no longer in the mood for coffee.

Xu Zhen watched Secretary Shi leave the pantry in disbelief. Once the secretary’s figure could no longer be seen, Xu Zhen let out a scoff. There was a hint of mockery on her face.

Everyone in the office knew that Secretary Shi had feelings for their boss.

In the past, Shi Ning was very proud to become Lin Xiao Feng’s secretary. Everyone knew that Lin Xiao Feng was single and had tried to find a chance to get close to him. However, Lin Xiao Feng was not someone who would be tempted by beauty.

Seeing that Secretary Shi was the only woman that their boss was close to, a lot of people in the office started to pair Secretary Shi and their boss.

There was a rumor that Secretary Shi and Lin Xiao Feng were secretly dating.

A lot of people started to believe the rumor. It made Secretary Shi a little arrogant.

It felt as if Secretary Shi began to believe the rumor as well. She began to think that she had the chance to become Mrs. Lin and never thought about refusing the rumor.

Unfortunately. Lin Xiao Feng showed up at the office after a long vacation and announced that he was a married man.

Xu Zhen could see that Secretary Shi’s expression turned uglier. This made Xu Zhen a little happy. She did not know the person that Lin Xiao Feng had married. However, Xu Zhen was already on An Nuan’s team.

For someone who had to face Secretary Shi’s arrogance for years, Xu Zhen was happy as long as Secretary Shi was unhappy.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao Feng was unaware of everything that happened in the office.

He did not know that the people in the office were curious about his status as a married man.

After he instructed his secretary to distribute the wedding candy to everyone, Lin Xiao Feng was too preoccupied with the documents in his office.

Lin Xiao Feng planned to return to Y City in a few days to find his wife. Before he could return, there would be a lot of work that he would have to settle.

Lin Xiao Feng had his head buried in his documents until he received a phone call from the mayor’s assistant.

Hearing that the old man was looking for him, Lin Xiao Feng tidied up his table and left his office. He did not dare to delay at the thought that the mayor was looking for him for something important.

Before he left, Lin Xiao Feng did not forget to grab a few boxes of the wedding candy that his secretary had delivered to him.

The mayor’s assistant was waiting for him when he arrived.

Lin Xiao Feng knocked on the door and entered the room with a small paper bag in his hand.

“Xiao Feng.” Mayor Jiang smiled when he saw the young man in front of him. He leaned on his chair as he gave Lin Xiao Feng a look over. “What is this news that I am hearing? You are married?”
