Chapter 216: Doted On By Many People
“Who are you?”
She furrowed her brows in unease at the deafening voice echoing from the phone.
“Are you the legendary sister-in-law?”
Her lips jerked. “Y-Yes…”
The caller gasped as though he was trying to suppress some kind of emotion.
“He he… Hello, sis-in-law.” His voice now sounded as gentle as a whisper.
“Yeah?”
“My name is Hei Qiang, and I’m Boss’s most favorite, favored, and treasured assistant. Without me, Boss would be missing an arm. That’s why I’m his most beloved man.”
The corners of her lips twitched. Beloved man?
“Pardon?”
“When are you holding your wedding ceremony and when can we meet you?” he asked in a fawning manner.
These questions put a smile on her face. “It’s not confirmed yet.”
“T-Then… once it’s confirmed, you have to inform me at first notice, alright? Please let me be the first one to receive your wedding invitation too, sis-in-law!”
She let out a chuckle. “Okay!”
“The guys said that they met you the other day. It’s a pity that I missed the chance to meet you that day, but Boss had sent me abroad to deal with certain issues. What a shame. It’s truly a shame. That group of shameless fellas was so happy while boasting about this in the group chat that they nearly flew to the sky.”
Ye Erruo poured herself a cup of water, sat on the bed, and lightly sipped at it. She had realized that her husband’s band of brothers was especially curious about her.
She had the feeling that many people doted on her. She had been receiving endless red packets on WeChat every day, had been added to a group chat, someone was always calling for her, and even more people wanted to chat with her. The number of WeChat messages she got was always over 99, which was way too many for her to reply. Now she knew why her husband had told her to change her phone number right from the start…
“Is that alright, sis-in-law?”
“Sure!” She readily agreed to his requests.
“Ha ha ha ha—” He hastily stopped laughing heartily.
“Don’t forget your promise, sis-in-law! Shall we add each other on QQ[1]? It’ll be easier for you to notify me then.”
The corners of her lips twitched. “Alright.”
Thus, Hei Qiang happily added his sister-in-law on WeChat and continued yapping away with her.
“Let me tell you something, sis-in-law. Boss was single and virginal for so many years that we all thought that he would remain a bachelor for life. We didn’t expect to see him marry someone in this lifetime. It wasn’t a simple ordeal by any means.”
This made the woman laugh. She then put the phone on speaker mode and went to get herself another cup of water.
“Oh, yeah. Boss is a very strict person with a foul temper. Even men can’t stand him, let alone women. If Boss flies into a rage and raises his voice, please don’t take it to heart. Just pretend that you didn’t see or hear anything. Since Boss has chosen you to be his woman, he must be very concerned about you,” said the man earnestly.
“You also have to tell us if he ever beats you, although we don’t think he would resort to using violence on you. Even though he usually likes to train us by using sick methods, he wouldn’t lay a hand on you.”
She lifted a brow. “He does have quite a bad temper.”
So Mo Jiangye often gets mad at them and resorts to using violence on them? I don’t think such a thing would ever happen to me, though.
“Yeah, that’s right! Don’t mind him, sis-in-law. Boss loves you very much. After all, the average woman wouldn’t be able to catch his attention. He might be a tad too strict and you might have to suffer a bit because of that, but after spending a long time with him, you’ll eventually discover his good points.”
