"Thank you for today..."

To be precise, she should thank him twice. Song Mai was already very grateful to him for saving her from danger at the critical moment last time.

This time he stepped forward again at this time. If it weren't for him, she would really have been taken away by Liu Weiqiang.

The man didn't care: "It's okay, at least I'm still your nominal husband for this year, it's my duty to protect my wife."

Song Mai thought for a moment and said worriedly, "By the way, you must be careful in the future. Liu Weiqiang is not a good guy. If he sets his sights on you, you will probably have a lot of trouble in the future.

This time the man didn't even turn his head.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

After another night's rest, Song Mai finally felt much better.

Apart from feeling a little weak and tired, there was nothing unusual.

Chu Xing left early as usual.

When Song Mai got up, he was nowhere to be seen.

After taking the medicine, she prepared a simple breakfast for herself and went to the company after eating.

As soon as she sat down at her workstation, Lin Ran came over with a sour face.

"I noticed that you became distant from me after you got a husband. You rarely responded to my messages about you. Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief only after Song Mai told him the whole story of how he got sick after being caught in the rain.

"I was scared to death. I thought something strange had happened again. After all, the last time you asked for leave was because of that incident. You, a money-grubber, never ask for leave. This time, you asked for leave because of illness for the first time. It's really rare."

Song Mai smiled bitterly. Who would be willing to take leave if it wasn't necessary?

After all, after working hard for a month, if she takes one day off, her attendance bonus will be deducted. She originally felt it was a pity yesterday, but after what happened in the afternoon, it was worth it to deduct the attendance bonus.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Lin Ran touched her forehead with his hand.

"How is it? Are you feeling better now?"

Song Mai patted his chest loudly:

"Don't worry, everything is fine now. I was originally very sad about having perfect attendance, but this month's attendance bonus is really worth it."

While it was still early, she recounted what happened yesterday from beginning to end.

Lin Ran got furious when he heard this.

She slammed the table, as if she wanted to tear Song Mai Saozi and the others to pieces.

"This is too much. They are your family! Especially your mother. How could she sell her daughter like this? Just 500,000 yuan was enough for them to go through the trouble of selling you to Liu Weiqiang. Even after you got married, they still wouldn't let you go."

Lin Ran had met Liu Weiqiang, and to be honest, she admired Song Mai's mother and sister-in-law very much.

To a face like that, to a person like that, he could lie to such an extent with his eyes open. How could this not be a skill?

Seeing that many of her colleagues' attention was drawn to Lin Ran, she quickly lowered her voice and said:

"Keep your voice down. Fortunately, everything has been resolved. I was able to escape without any danger. I originally just wanted to stay at home to recuperate. God might have been afraid that I would lose the money, so he arranged such a worthwhile thing for me."

Lin Ran checked her up and down many times, and confirmed again and again that she was not injured, only then did he feel relieved.

"But I didn't expect your husband to be so powerful. I take back what I said before. Before, I just thought he was a gigolo, but now my opinion has changed. It doesn't seem so unacceptable for you to support him. After all, it's just like hiring a bodyguard."

Song Mai nodded, she thought so too.

The two chatted about Song Mai's family for a while, and Lin Ran suddenly seemed to remember something.

He immediately bent down and moved closer to Song Mai.

"By the way, let me tell you a piece of gossip."

"what?"

"Fang Yu's wife came to the company yesterday. Guess what she came for?"

Song Mai thought for a moment and said, "Send food?"

Lin Ran suddenly felt like a hopeless case, so he cupped his fingers and tapped Song Mai hard on the forehead.

"Can you be a little gossipy? Do I need to tell you about something like delivering food?"

"That is?"

Song Mai was still puzzled. She had always turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the company. She only focused on doing her job well and didn't care about other things. So as Lin Ran said, she didn't have the spirit of gossip.

Lin Ran looked around furtively, and when no one noticed them, she uttered two words:

"Catch rape!"

Now it was Song Mai's turn to be confused.

"Are you sure you didn't eat the wrong melon? Who is it that came to the company to catch someone having an affair?"

In her impression, Fang Yu was quite honest and had decent business skills, so Song Mai always respected him.

Lin Ran glanced in the direction of the front desk:

"We didn't catch him. I heard that he didn't come home all night, and when he came home, his wife found a lipstick mark on the collar of his shirt, so she came to find him. Fang Yu said that he was out socializing and had no choice but to get in, but his wife obviously didn't believe it, otherwise she wouldn't have made a fuss at the company."

Song Mai thought carefully about the company's recent projects.

"I remember that the company doesn't seem to have any new projects recently. Is there anything we need to socialize with? We are the Spanish department, not the marketing department. We don't need to socialize outside all day long."

"Bingo!"

Lin Ran immediately gave Song Mai an admiring look, as if she had finally figured it out.

"It's because we are in the Spanish department, and everyone knows that we haven't been involved in any new projects recently. Fang Yu's wife didn't have to put in any effort. She could have found out that what Fang Yu said was false by just asking around in the company. It's a pity that she made a big fuss in the company but got no results."

"Fang Yu has been trying to stop her, and she even spread the word in the department, saying that anyone who has an affair with her husband should come forward. Who do you think would come forward in this situation, even if it's true in our department?"

Song Mai glanced at the people in the department. Most of them were young girls, and quite a few of them were pretty, so it was not a problem for Fang Yu's wife to be so suspicious.

But she couldn't really tell who it was.

Lin Ran curled his lips and smiled: "Actually, I guessed it."

"Who?"

Lin Ran kept it a secret:

"Just imagine, who has suddenly become so close to the manager recently? And Fang Yu is helping her with everything, and she is enjoying many benefits?"

With Lin Ran's reminder, Song Mai didn't have to think much and a person's name automatically popped up in his mind.

"Zheng Yao!"

Lin Ran nodded repeatedly.

"I think it was her. The day before yesterday I saw strawberry marks on her neck that couldn't be covered up even with foundation. I haven't heard that Zheng Yao has a boyfriend. If she wasn't Fang Yu's mistress, how do you explain the strawberry marks on her neck?"
