Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 447 – Perfect Work-life Balance

Days passed by, and as there came the announcement of Keung replacing Zhiyuan as the CEO of the Han Corps, there immediately came unrest within the employees. They were used to working under Zhiyuan and now suddenly, the seat was handed over to his cousin.

Moreover, many of the senior employees who had been working for a long time knew about Keung's scandal of money embezzlement.

"No, no, no. It's impossible! Han Keung and the CEO?"

"How can Sir Zhiyuan make him the CEO? Did he forget how Han Keung shamelessly embezzled money from the company? It was the whole reason why he was sent abroad."

One of the female coworkers widened her eyes. "What? Really!?"

"Yes, you are new, so you didn't know. Plus, Sir had forbidden everybody to talk about Han Keung at all."

She gasped. "Oh, God. So, this is the truth! Last year I met Mrs. Han Guang, and I heard her saying how her son was abroad for studies and honing his capabilities."

"Pfft. What bullshit. That woman lied! He is her son. How could she see him getting humiliated? Heh. She just made up some story. Sir Han Huizhong just hates her to the core. She is a scheming and manipulating woman!"

"Yeah rumor has it that she planned the one night stand with Han Mingli to get pregnant."

"Shit. No wonder Sir Han Huizhong hates her! I hate such women who sleep to hug a rich thigh!"

"That's why it's even more confusing. Sir Han Huizhong would never ever agree to this whole thing. We know how he is…"

"Ugh, maybe Sir Zhiyuan is pulling a prank on us? Is today April first?"

"It better be a prank because if it's not, then I seriously worry about this company…We don't even know how Han Keung will treat all of us. Sir Zhiyuan always considered us as family."

They immediately stopped whispering to each other as they saw Keung stepping inside the office with grandeur. He shot a quick glance at everybody's faces and smiled. Without saying anything, he left towards the CEO's elevator.

The employees stood in a sharp silence.

"Fuck, did you see that!? He just used Sir Zhiyuan's elevator! That directly goes to the CEO's office!"

"Did you see him walking so arrogantly? Does it mean…"

Gloominess filled the air.

"But I don't understand. If Han Keung is the CEO, then what is Sir Zhiyuan doing right now?"

—

"What are you doing, Zhiyuan?" Xinyi dryly asked as she felt Zhiyuan's arm snaking around her waist. His face was closely pressed against her cheeks.

"What am I doing?" He whispered as he danced his fingers on her soft arm. 

Her mouth twitched. He pouted and kissed her lips. Then he pushed her down on the bed and climbed on top of her. "You look so beautiful."

Xinyi smacked his forehead. "We have serious work to do, Zhiyuan. Here, I am drafting a plan for our new company, and you are thinking of romance."

"Romance is equally important."

If the employees of Han Corps saw Zhiyuan right now playing naughty with his wife, they would choke themselves to death.

"I want a little Xinyi soon," he pursed his lips. 

She coughed. "We will think about that too, but we first need to-"

Zhiyuan cut her words off with a deep, ferocious kiss that took her breath away. He brushed his fingers along her soft neckline and shoulders.

"Hmm…I am not satisfied by the kiss alone. So, let me undress you…"

She widened her eyes and pushed him away. "Oof. We are in such a peril here, and you…"

He sighed. "Well worrying about it too much isn't gonna help us anyway. We should always be positive."

She smiled. "Mr. Positive Han Zhiyuan, take your laptop and start with your work if you wanna see positive results after the first quarter."

"I want to see a positive result on your pregnancy test more though."

Xinyi puked three liters of blood.

"So shameless!"

He grinned and kissed her forehead. "It's your fault. So take the responsibility."

She slapped his shoulder. "We need to start thinking about our office, investments, registration, team, marketing…ahhh, there are so many things to do!"

He frowned. "Office?"

"Don't we need a place for our office setup?"

"Our bedroom can be a great location for the office."

"…"

"I support perfect work-life balance," he indignantly said.

"And we carry out meetings in the bedroom?"

"Only personal meetings between you and me. Team meetings can be done in the study. Xinyi, don't be cruel. We cannot forget our daughter in this whole challenge."

Her brow twitched.

"Why do I feel you are more interested in the process of making a daughter?"

Zhiyuan ignored her concern. "I am equally interested in the process AND the result."

She narrowed her eyes. "Zhiyuan, are you planning something behind my back? Is that why you are so confident and carefree?"

"What do you mean? I am your capable husband," he pouted and buried his face in her neck in grievance, "I know how to run a company, and you are with me too, who is an even more awesome leader than me. Why should I be worried?"

"Still…I sense something…If you don't tell me what it is, then you can kiss the romance goodbye."

He gasped. "Xinyi! Don't threaten me with our cuddly time! It's important for me," he shed fake tears, "You are becoming a meanie, Xinyi. No, you are becoming more and more like Grandpa…"

"Well, then you have to tell me. You are definitely cooking something."

"I only want to cook our little bun inside you."

"!!!"

"Y-You you…" she blushed hard. "Fine, if you don't want to tell me!"

"No, no! I will tell you. But don't get mad at me please…" he showed a pitiful expression.

Zhiyuan leaned near her, and she glared at him. "You are definitely tricking me for a kiss!"

"Noooo! I want to say it in your ear."

"…You can just say normally."

He smiled. "Walls can have ears too, sweet wifey."

She suspiciously looked at him. Zhiyuan chuckled and whispered something in her ear.

Her eyes slowly widened, and her jaw dropped open. "What!?"
