My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One Chapter 57
Advertisement
This morning Xiao Long was barely visible at home. How not, even before everyone in the house woke up, Xiao Long had already gone to the office. He wanted to quickly resolve the matter of his branch company because Xiao Long didn't want to let things drag on. Yes, workaholics have been his nickname for a long time.
Meanwhile, Tao, who didn't even sleep last night because he had to gather evidence, seemed only to be stealing time while he was yawning, looking at Xiao Long, who looked annoyed. Yes, Xiao Long's annoyance was only silent, not angry or slamming things. It's enough to see from the look on his face that it looks colder, and his hands seem to be clenching tightly. Tao can't do much other than following whatever orders his boss gives him if it's like that.
"Have you sent Li Xuan to work there?" asked Xiao Long in the end. Tao nodded his head.
"Today Mr. Li is already working at our subsidiary, Young Mr. Han, and is just waiting for the results of Mr. Li's investigation. Everything was very well planned, so Young Mr. Han need not worry."
"No need to worry? What do you think all this time, how much money the company put into their accounts? I'll never let them have fun with my money," Xiao Long annoyed. Tao nodded. He looked back at his laptop.
"Have you brought in the company IT team to see what's going on?" Xiao Long asked again. Tao nodded again.
"They have already sent the data to us at 9:00 am this morning, Young Mr. Han. For now we can't do much, because we have to have proper evidence of who did all this."
"You don't have much time, Tao. I'm having trouble with the banquet tonight, so I can't do anything yet. After this, you must immediately hand over the results to me."
"But, Young Mr. Han. Didn't Young Mr. Han say that I still have two weeks to find out who did this, or roughly eleven more days."
"Then are you thinking of buying time, Tao?"
"I dare not do it, Young Mr. Han!" Tao said, frightened, and Xiao Long fell silent again. Then he looked at Xiao Long with his annoyed look. Meanwhile, Tao seems to feel weird because Xiao Long is in a rush right now. As if other problems are being faced besides this company problem. "Young Mr. Han, did something happen at home, or about Young Lady Han?" guess Tao carefully.

Hearing Tao's question, Xiao Long cleared his throat. How could I not? Qiao Xin had been ignoring her for the past two days, that trashy woman who had a talkative mouth was now a mute dirty scum, and Xiao Long was annoyed that he didn't have anyone to mock like Qiao Xin.
"You know," Xiao Long finally said, looking at Tao with an unreadable expression. "Ah, never mind, you just almost became an old virgin, why should I ask you about women's problems, I'm sure you will never understand at all,"
"Young Mr. Han, although I am not experienced with women. But believe me, I might be able to give you a little advice if it's related to Young Lady Han."
Xiao Long looked back at Tao mockingly, and then Xiao Long was also silent for a while.
"You seem to know my wife well, even though you've only met for the first time," Xiao Long finally said.
"Because maybe, we're both from ordinary families. So maybe I can understand Young Lady Han's difficulties in adapting to the Han family, Young Mr. Han."
Xiao Long looked at Tao with a confused look, something that made Xiao Long quiet again. Between telling the truth or not, Xiao Long seemed confused as well.
"That," Xiao Long paused, looking at Tao, who was already looking at him so seriously. Xiao Long finally cleared his throat. Being seen as such by Tao was not a pleasant thing at all. "That, how to deal with angry women, do you know how to get women to talk again?" asked Xiao Long in the end. Xiao Long cleared his throat again, his face red as if he was embarrassed by the question.
Hearing Xiao Long's question, Tao seemed to be holding back a smile. Even Tao closed his mouth for fear that his boss would be offended.
"Really, Young Lady Han why, Young Mr. Han? Has Young Mr. Han done something bad to her?" Tao asked. Xiao Long didn't answer, and he just looked at Tao with that stern and annoyed look. "Sorry, Young Mr. Han. Didn't Young Mr. Han used to have several women? Should Young Mr. Han be much more experienced to make such an angry woman happy?" Tao said later. Xiao Long cleared his throat again.
"The thing is, you know yourself, don't you. If some women are barely known to Grandpa, even everyone in this world. While Qiqi is a little different, she's a little weird and annoying at times," Xiao Long replied. Tao seemed to pull an eyebrow, an answer that didn't make sense, an answer that was far from Tao's previous question. Then, Tao looked at Xiao Long with a serious expression.

"Young Mr. Han, I think all women are the same. They prefer some valuable things, such as expensive jewelry, expensive cars, flowers and other gifts?" Tao said, giving an idea.
Xiao Long, who had been leaning on his chin, looked at Tao, then blinked his eyes. Jewellery, cars and expensive things? Would Qiao Xin like that?
Xiao Long fell silent again. He was deep in thought but couldn't answer that one question at all.
Of course, Qiao Xin will like it. Aren't all women the same? Xiao Long is now smiling. He snaps his fingers and looks at Tao with a happy look.
"In that case, you have to find the most expensive car, the most expensive set of jewelry, and all the things women like the most expensive and send them all to Qiqi, can you do that?"
"Alright, Young Mr. Han,"
Tao finally left, making Xiao Long smile again. This time his wife wouldn't be able to avoid him at all. Yes, Xiao Long was sure that Qiao Xin would come back to talk to him after this. Xiao Long knows all women's brains, and women can never escape luxury because all women are the same. Likewise with Qiao Xin.
Xiao Long was already preparing to get Qiao Xin's thanks later. Yes, he had to put on a very arrogant look so that Qiao Xin knew Xiao Long's strength was at its best now.
Meanwhile, Tao and the people he ordered to bring all the gifts for Qiao Xin had arrived at the Han family residence. Even though it took quite a while, the fact that the Han family's big-name made all of Tao's business easier. Then, Tao immediately brought the items to Qiao Xin.
All the servants of the Han family's residence seemed to be shocked, and the car procession entered the house's gate. There was even a luxury car there. The servant from the Han family was also buzzing. One of them immediately looked for Xiao Chuan and their children.
"Master Han, there is something strange outside," said the servant.
Xiao Chuan, who had been busy enjoying tea earlier, looked at the waiter who came to him, then he put down the magazine he had been holding.
"Weird? What?" Xiao Chuan asked.
Meanwhile, right then and there, there was Qiao Xin and her mother-in-law, who was busy looking at the few people who had come to decide on dresses and some things for them to wear later that evening.
"Outside Mr. Chen came with several cars, there was a new car, along with other items, which were started to be entered in the main room of this residence, Mr. Han," explained the servant.
Qiao Xin's mother-in-law also looked at Xiao Chuan, and then she stood up to Xiao Chuan.
"Father, what happened? Why is Tao here? Shouldn't he be working together with Xiao Long?" she asked then.
"I don't know, but it looks like we'll have to see so we don't get confused by all this," Xiao Chuan decided. He looked at the servant and told the servant to leave. "Qiqi, come with us. Looks like your husband is acting up."
Qiao Xin was reluctant. Even if it were necessary to put Xiao Long's head down, Qiao Xin wouldn't care. However, when Xiao Chuan gave the order, Qiao Xin couldn't dodge anymore.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'll come along," Qiao Xin decided then.
The three of them walked towards the house's main hall, and it seemed that the bustling voice was starting to sound even though it was slow. And how surprised they were to see all the luxury items neatly arranged and even almost filled the very large main hall. Xiao Chuan shrieked in surprise, seeing Tao, who had already bowed respectfully to him.
"Tao, what are you doing here? What is all this?!" Xiao Chuan snapped.
Tao, who seemed afraid of being blamed, immediately approached, then he looked at Qiao Xin, who still didn't understand the chaos that was happening.
"Mr. Han, I'm sorry. However I was ordered by Young Mr. Han to come over to the house to deliver all of this."
"What for?" asked Xiao Chuan then.
"All of these items were specially bought by Young Mr. Han for Young Lady Han, as an apology for offending Young Lady Han some time ago,"
"What?!" now it was Qiao Xin's turn to be shocked to death. She didn't expect Xiao Long to do something crazy like this.
