Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

vacation!”

Ajia: “Hey, team leader, will you come see us before your official vacation? If I knew, I would’ve said goodbye to you last night.
@Xu Xinghe”

Ethan: “Wait a minute.
Wait…what are you talking about? Did we hear the same news at lunchtime?”

Xiao Zhou: “Obviously not”

Ajia: “You guys are too late”

Ryan: “When you say this, I feel that my news is a little behind, wait for me to inquire!”

…

Xu Xinghe: “?”

Team leader Xu looked at the screen of unpredictable and unintelligible messages, and typed a question mark.

Ryan: “The team leader has appeared!!”

Ajia: “Ahhhh, Brother Xu, how are you feeling now?”

Xu Xinghe: “What, aren’t I talking to you now?”

Ryan: “The team leader should avoid contact with electronic equipment in the future! There is radiation!”

Xu Xinghe was stunned: “…How can you, a person in the technical department, say such nonsense that electronic products have radiation??”

Having to ask for leave because he watched a horror movie last night, and was too frightened he couldn’t fall asleep until after 3 a.m.
in the morning… it’s really difficult to explain, and unreasonable.

Xu Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then secretly made up a plausible excuse: “I’m not feeling well, so I took a day off and will go to work tomorrow as usual”

Ryan: “?!”

Ajia: “?!”

Ethan: “…”

Xiao Zhou: “Okay”

Xu Xinghe looked at their replies, and his ominous premonition became heavier and heavier: “Wait a minute, what do you think happened to me?”

Ryan: “…nothing.”

Ajia: “Team leader, can you really come to work tomorrow??”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

When he saw that these guys in the group suddenly faltered and pretended to be deaf and dumb, he instantly became a little irritable.

What the hell is going on? Could it be that Boss Liang said something in the morning?

Xu Xinghe wasn’t naive enough to hope that Mr.
Liang couldn’t tell it was Ling Changfeng who answered the phone this morning, but Mr.
Liang isn’t a gossip, so it stands to reason that he wouldn’t spread it around.

Xu Xinghe asked tentatively, “What did Mr.
Liang say at the meeting this morning?”

Ajia: “He just talked about the work arrangements, nothing major.
Team leader, if you are not feeling well, take a rest first.
We’ll talk about it when you come to work tomorrow.”

Ryan: “Speaking of Boss Liang, do you think his face didn’t look very well this morning?”

Ethan: “Ah, a little bit, he wasn’t in the right state in this morning’s meeting.
The documents were reversed at the beginning.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He remembered the appearance of Boss Liang’s white temples, and inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.

Xu Xinghe: “That’s all? He didn’t say anything else…about me?”

Ryan: “I told you, he said you were on sick leave.”

Ethan: “There’s something in the team leader’s words, what do you think Mr.
Liang said?”

Xu Xinghe: “…Hehe, I thought he would ask about the progress of 3A-Z’s investigation, and praise you as wastes.”

Team leader Xu said this, but he was silently relieved.
Listening to this situation, Mr.
Liang should not have leaked anything.

So what are these people talking about?

Xu Xinghe: “I’ll give you one last chance.
What outrageous news did you hear? Leniency for those who confess, resistance is a dead end!”

Seeing the silence in the group for a while, he continued to attack their psychological defenses with words: “If I find out you’ve spread rumors after coming to work tomorrow, you’re all finished.
Tomorrow, if the 3A-Z investigation is not finished, no one should leave work :)”

When everyone heard this, they began to confess –

Ajia: “I declare in advance that I have not spread rumors, I just heard that you were pregnant, and asked Director Wang for parental leave this morning…”

Ryan: “I declare in advance that I have not spread rumors, I just heard that you exercised last night, and immediately asked for leave this morning… Later, I heard that you were in that period, and it seems that you were marked…”

Ethan: “What I heard is relatively normal, I just heard that our Team Leader Xiao Xu1Adding the xiao before his name is like calling him “little boss” was a little uncomfortable after being tossed last night.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He licked his back teeth, smiled and began to turn his face and refused to recognize anyone: “I changed my mind.
The 3A-Z investigation work, I think it’s better for you all to finish it today :)”

After saying that, he ignored the group full of mourning and turned off the smartphone.
Out of sight, out of mind.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Changfeng, who was sitting across from the long table, looked towards him at some point, as if he had been observing him for a while.

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, “It’s nothing, I’m talking about work.”

In the end, he was too naive, thinking that as long as Boss Liang didn’t talk about the phone call in the morning, no one would think about it.

But he forgot that in that broken place in the Ark – the pantry – rumors of him being pregnant could be spread every day in the afternoon! Even if he really took sick leave, after half a day, all sorts of rumors would definitely spawn.
What’s more, this is the first time he’s asked for leave; it’s not strange for those gossip mongers to get excited.

Ling Changfeng looked at his face and asked, “Have you encountered any problems at work?”

Xu Xinghe shook his head: “No, it’s just that as soon as I didn’t go to work, some nonsense started to spread in the pantry… However, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

He thought about it.
This kind of thing really doesn’t matter.
Anyway, rumors like pregnancy will be self-defeating as long as he goes to work as usual.

After hearing this, Ling Changfeng frowned: “Nonsense? What did they say?”

The pair of pupils were originally cold, but at this moment, the brows were wrinkled, and the end of his eyes showed a sharp coldness for no reason.

But then, Ling Changfeng discovered that the situation was not what he imagined.

His little spouse didn’t seem to be angry at these rumors, but hesitantly said, “Nothing… what can they spread? It’s all rumors anyway! Don’t pay attention!”

At the end, he was a little out of breath.

Then he lowered his head and picked up a piece of cake, pretending to eat it.

A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
But when he saw Xu Xinghe’s slightly flushed ears the next moment, he suddenly became enlightened.

He could probably guess what kind of rumors they were.

Ling Changfeng put away the coldness in his eyes, but still said solemnly: “No, how can rumors be ignored?”

After speaking, he changed the topic quietly: “Unless this rumor will come true in the future.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He rubbed against the ground and stood up: “I’m going to feed the cat.”

After saying that, he rubbed oil on his feet and slipped away without looking back.

What a joke! Want the rumors to come true? Wait until his next life!
