"My wife will never do that, she has a lot of trust in me," Qin Chu said with emphasis .
Before Zhang Manlin could continue, Sun Xiaoxiao followed up, "Yes, President Qin and his wife are considered to be a model couple within our company . They're very affectionate . "
"Honestly, things like love . . . all have an expiry date . After a while, the freshness will be gone, and the pillar for support will also be gone . Often, during a time like this, people will fight over the smallest things and will give each other the silent treatment . Some of them might even get a divorce . For those couples that have not gone through this phase, they might look calm on the outside, but deep down, they've already secretly turned infatuation into family love . After several years, the man will start swaying and begin to look for a new love outside . After all, they can no longer find that same feeling with their wives anymore . So, a lot of the times, when people reach middle-age, a lot of families face the issue of a cheating partner," Zhang Manlin rambled on, seemingly to make sense to the point that Sun Xiaoxiao didn't know how to reply .
Qin Chu didn't even give Zhang Manlin a glance, and he simply said, "Miss Zhang seems to be very knowledgeable . For those who know, they will think you're in finance, for those who don't, they would probably think that you're a relationship expert . "
"Hehe, President Qin is very humorous . Us girls like to gossip, so I like to browse Weibo when I don't have anything to do . So, naturally, I'd see more stuff, and understand things a little better than others . "
"President Qin, have some food . You haven't eaten much since you walked in . I ordered a lot of dishes, but I don't know if they are to your liking," Sun Xiaoxiao said anxiously, she was nervous about being a bad host to her boss .

The table was filled with appetizing dishes; there were even some luxurious lobster and mitten crabs .
Looking down, Qin Chu ate slowly, and only had a couple of bites of veggies .
His side profile looked very handsome, Zhang Manlin couldn't help but throw a couple of side glances at Qin Chu's face . After a little bit, she picked up a mitten crab liberally and munched on it like no one was watching .
"I love seafood . When I was young, I'd always go to the ravine near the farm to fish out some tiny lobsters . Back then, we didn't have any money, so I never had any precious seafood like this . It wasn't until after I started working that I was able to buy some . Last time, when my mom visited me, she was laughing at me and saying maybe I should just marry a seafood seller," Zhang Manlin said .
"Miss Zhang's mom is so humorous," Sun Xiaoxiao cooperated to keep the conversation going .
"President Qin, do you like to eat seafood?" Zhang Manlin asked .

"I don't eat a lot of seafood unless my wife eats it . Then, I will have some with her . "
"Your wife likes to eat seafood too? Our vice-director?" Zhang Manlin asked in surprise .
"Uh-huh . "
"Ha, that's easy then . Next time we want to bribe our vice director, we can just gift her seafood," Zhang Manlin half- joked .
As a young girl, it was a miracle for her to be so comfortable in front of strangers . She ate without a worry in the world, wasn't pretentious, or dramatic . To Sun Xiaoxiao, Zhang Manlin was very amiable and easy-going . At least in her eyes, Zhang Manlin was not deliberately trying to ingratiate President Qin, nor was she trying to cotton him up . She acted rather normally, unlike all the other girls that tried to get close to Qin Chu .

The entire meal was relatively easy-going, and in general, everyone was having a good time .
"President Qin, thank you again for saving my life with Miss Zhang," Sun Xiaoxiao gave a toast .
Qin Chu rarely drank and used tea in the replacement of alcohol .
Zhang Manlin, on the other hand, drank quite a bit . Her flushed cheeks stood out on her face .
Sun Xiaoxiao got up after the meal . "Bill, please . "
"Mr . Qin has already paid . " The waitress smiled .
"Uh . . . President Qin, we agreed that I would be treating, how can I take this gesture from you?" Sun Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed by Qin Chu's action .
"It's fine . I don't have the habit of letting women pay . Let's go . " As the three of them walked out, Qin Chu led the way . Perhaps Zhang Manlin was a little dizzy, she lost her balance and tripped forward . Sun Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her . "Miss Zhang, are you okay?"
"Yes, ha, I'm fine . "
"Where do you live? I will drive you home," Sun Xiaoxiao said .
"Oh . . . my home is in the same direction as our vice director, haha . . . " Zhang Manlin chuckled .
As she finished her sentence, Qin Chu stopped in his tracks and gave her a glance .
