Chapter 2086 - 2075: Exposed
"Wife, you wouldn't happen to be someone with mind reading divine skills, would you?""You're the one who's not human. Stop trying to change the subject."
"Wife, I'm sorry."
Xu Ruolan took a deep breath, "Tell me how you both met."
"...That's how it happened."
"At least you were honest, didn't lie."
Seeing Xu Ruolan wasn't as upset as he imagined, Ning Fan grinned and said, "Wife, how did you find out?"
Xu Rulan replied irritably, "You still have the nerve to ask. You two meet secretly at the company, you think I'm blind?"
"We really didn't do anything inappropriate at the company, just met once in a while."
Seeing Ning Fan's serious face, Xu Rulan sighed, "I believe you."
"Wife, I really didn't lie to you, at most a hug, nothing inappropriate."
Facing this situation, Ning Fan already felt guilty. Despite any flaws, he couldn't possibly fool around with another woman at the company while Xu Ruolan was busy.
Even if flawed, one couldn't be outrageously shameless.
"I really believe you."
Ever since knowing about this, Lan Kexin's information appeared before Xu Ruolan.
From the documents, it was clear that Lan Kexin was diligent and responsible at work, never late or leaving early, and didn't neglect her duties.
If something really happened over such a long period without any notice, it couldn't escape the attention of office mates.
Judging by Lan Kexin's diligence, Xu Ruolan concluded that nothing had happened; otherwise, she would have been furious, not as calm as she was now.
It's worth mentioning that Lan Kexin requested only one day off since joining the company.
Seeing the date of leave, Xu Ruolan immediately responded; it was precisely the day when Ning Fan didn't come home at night.
"Wife, why aren't you speaking?"
Xu Rulan rolled her eyes, "What do you want me to say?"
Ning Fan grinned, "You haven't said how you found out."
"She helped you fabricate so many attendance records, it's hard for people not to suspect your relationship."
Thinking of this matter, Xu Ruolan didn't know what to say.
Her husband collaborated with an employee, damaging the company's interests.
Xu Ruolan discovered Ning Fan's secret affair purely by chance.
One morning, she overheard staff joking in the HR department, saying Manager Lan fancied the recently resigned security guard.
Upon hearing these keywords, Xu Ruolan kept them in mind, as Ning Fan had resigned not long ago.
So Xu Ruolan secretly fetched Lan Kexin's details and Ning Fan's attendance, uncovering the trick.
She was very clear about Ning Fan's presence at the company, as his spouse.
However, at times when Ning Fan was supposed not to be there, there were punch-in records.
There were even instances when Ning Fan was right beside her, yet still, there was attendance logged.
Connecting rumors, truths emerged.
If Xu Ruolan hadn't understood later, knowing Lan Kexin shielded Ning Fan alone, she would've fired her.
But it also showed Lan Kexin's profound affection for Ning Fan, willing to risk being fired to help him.
After hearing the entire story, Ning Fan was completely stunned, his face expressed utter resignation.
At this point, he couldn't blame anyone but himself.
Who'd have thought Xu Ruolan could extract so much information from a mere attendance record?
Ning Fan stammered, "Wife, about this... what do you think..."
"I don't know."
Xu Ruolan changed her tone, "If I asked you to let go, would you agree?"
Seeing Ning Fan silent, Xu Ruolan suddenly smiled, "You handle it yourself."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know. They're coming out."
With that, Xu Ruolan walked towards Xiaoqing and the others.
"What do you mean by 'handle it yourself'?"
Recollecting Xu Ruolan's earlier demeanor, Ning Fan's thoughts multiplied, unable to grasp the meaning of her words.
Unfortunately, now wasn't the right time to ask.
Xu Xiaoqing didn't play pranks, forcing Su Meiniang to look ugly; she just disguised a bit, like a star going out, mask, large sunglasses, sun hat, and so forth.
Other than Xu Xiaoqing, the remaining three dressed similarly.
Though lacking in looks, the physique...
At most, considered a cute little beauty, hardly causing a sensation.
Watching Xu Xiaoqing's dark face, Ning Fan drove silently, barely protecting himself.
From noon till eleven at night.
Ning Fan finally experienced the primal power of women.
When it comes to shopping, women possess stamina akin to dragons.
This isn't a metaphor but a tangible comparison.
After shopping all day, the three women's spirits matched Vivian's, showing no fatigue.
The fiercest shopper among the four was Xu Ruolan.
Seems genuinely trying to compensate for earlier missed opportunities, Xu Ruolan didn't cease, only one word: "Buy."
Yet Ning Fan constantly felt she was intentionally venting.
Back home, after placing large bags down, Ning Fan headed back to the garage again, for the third time.
The vast seven-seat business vehicle, not just the trunk, but also the passenger cabin was filled.
Her shopping madness today was beyond imagination.
Seeing the stack of a myriad of goods, Xu Rulan's cheeks flushed, loudly she said, "Ladies, were you happy today?"
Ning Fan twitched as always elegant Xu Rulan was showing such an unusual side, naturally, there was a reason.
She drank before returning, and the quantity was a bit much.
"Today was so satisfying."
For Xu Xiaoqing, today was an epic achievement in shopping.
"Happy. Today, this humble servant made the sister spend a lot."
Su Meiniang shyly glancing at Ning Fan, didn't intend to buy anything.
Yet couldn't resist Xu Xiaoqing's persuasion, forced by shyness, bought some items supposedly making Ning Fan's nose bleed.
"As long as the husband likes, this humble servant is willing for anything."
Gazing at the bags with her winning treasures not far away.
"So happy."
Vivian beamed as if hugging boxes naively.
Regarding box size, Vivian had the smallest among the women.
But for value, what she bought equaled the others together.
No choice, Vivian was that devoted, her passion for jewels never wavered.
Fortunately, Xu Ruolan wasn't stingy or ordinary; otherwise, nurturing such expensive tastes would be challenging.
Xu Xiaoqing lounged on the sofa, lazily speaking, "Xiao Si, I'm thirsty."
"Second sister, wait a moment."
Lingering on the jewelry, Vivian resolutely chose to curry favor with the patron.
"Are you kidding, you're a majestic dragon, not some errand dog."
