Xiao Long seemed to be looking at his cell phone because it was ringing all the time. From a message to several calls. Xiao Long seemed to pull an eyebrow. How could he not? Qiao Xin had been trying to contact him all this time. What about the wife he doesn't love? How on a supposedly sunny morning there should be such an annoying distraction from his ugly wife? Or did Qiao Xin know that her mother and uncle were here? That's why Qiao Xin contacted him to help his family.

Meanwhile, Jiang Min glanced at Xiao Long. How could he not? From what Jiang Min knew, Xiao Long was the type of person who could not be bothered by anything and anyone at a meeting. It is said that Xiao Long always turns off his cellphone when he is in a meeting. However, for now, why didn't the big boss do it? He even looked at his cell phone that kept ringing.

Then, Xiao Long cleared his throat and raised his hand for Jiang Min's employee to stop her presentation.

"Just a moment," Xiao Long finally spoke. He picked up his phone after he cleared his throat a few times. "Qiqi, don't you know that I'm in a meeting? What is it?" Xiao Long's voice made everyone present smile. Even though they don't know who Qiqi is, they seem to understand that maybe the person named Qiqi is Xiao Long's wife.

"Don't you know how tormented I am right now? why do I have to do so much practice to be your wife, Young Mr. Han. Why should I study personality, learn how to walk, sit, eat, even smile. Has this gone crazy? Am I married to a royal? Or am I currently being used by you? I don't want to do all this!" Qiao Xin shouted from the phone, and Xiao Long even had to put his phone away, then he took a deep breath. He couldn't imagine that that trash woman had to do all that training. Xiao Long knew very well how incompetent Qiao Xin was.

Xiao Long looked at everyone who was already looking at him, and then he chose to stand up, away from them, to reply to Qiao Xin's long words.

"Ugly, don't you know that the Han family is similar to the royal family? The Han family was a noble family and not a random family. So everything you are doing now is what you should and must do. stop complaining, and don't complain too much, after the weekend things will get better, so don't say anything weird anymore. I-"

"And this kind of thing is not in our agreement, Young Mr. Han. I don't want it if I have to die because of this torturous training, I—"

"You won't die, and stop playing drama. I am busy!"

Xiao Long immediately hung up his phone, and then he walked over to his seat. He seemed to be looking at everyone who was already looking at him curiously. Xiao Long raised an eyebrow, without a word, he finally sat back down in his place.

"Ehm, was it a call from Mr. Han's wife?" Jiang Min asked. Xiao Long nodded. "It seems, Lord Han's wife has missed it. Understandably, newlyweds, Mr. Han should have taken time out for your honeymoon, but instead it worked like this. I think Mr. Han is very dedicated to your work, I am very proud of a boss like Mr. Han,"

Xiao Long was silent. He ignored Jiang Min's words and continued the meeting. Because for him, it is very unimportant to have to discuss issues like this.

On the other hand, Qiao Xin seemed to be pissed off to death. How not? The phone was disconnected unilaterally by Xiao Long. Qiao Xin had no idea that Xiao Long would be this cruel. At a time when she already felt that Xiao Long was the only one who could help her because her mother and uncle were now getting permission to go out somewhere before they went home.

"Young Lady Han, can we continue our training?"

The voice managed to make Qiao Xin, who was hiding in the bathroom, immediately hide her cellphone, then she came out of the bathroom, and there was a trainer in front of the bathroom door. Qiao Xin just smiled blandly, and then she nodded her head.

"Sorry, I seem to have a stomach ache, Madam," Qiao Xin replied. How could she not? She had to explain it. Otherwise, she would be considered strange because she always had permission to go to the bathroom almost every thirty minutes.

Qiao Xin then followed her teacher's footsteps, and then she got another series of lessons. Starting from her head, she was given a pile of books, sitting properly and correctly, and practising dance that made her stiff body flexible like jelly. Even time began to pass, from morning until late evening. Qiao Xin really couldn't concentrate on it. She was tired, she was sick, she was hungry, and she felt tortured.

"Young Lady Han, it's not like that. but keep your back straight and lower your legs slightly, spread your arms straight, lift your head and don't move just yet. Because balance is the most important thing Young Madam Han has to do right now."

Qiao Xin let out an exasperated breath, but she nodded anyway. How else can it be, indeed? She couldn't complain at all.

"Miss, don't you think I'm very stupid about this lesson? I will fail, believe me, and you shouldn't have to teach me wholeheartedly like this. I feel bad about it, I feel guilty for all of you," said Qiao Xin, trying to persuade them to give up and then go home, and Qiao Xin could eat a lot, then she would sleep.

"We know that until this moment Young Lady Han still hasn't learned any of the basic techniques we have provided. However it is our duty, that weekend Young Lady Han should be able to learn all this, otherwise we will all be fired from our jobs. So, we will do our best so that Young Lady Han can do everything well, and we don't get fired."

Hearing that explanation, Qiao Xin's mouth was perfectly shut. She had no idea that the best of all the teachers sent by Xiao Chuan was such a terrible thing. Was she fired from work? Qiao Xin already knew how painful it was when she was forced out of the company she loved so much, and Qiao Xin didn't want to let all the women in front of her feel the same way she did.

Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath. She couldn't be weak, she couldn't complain, and she couldn't grumble. Qiao Xin now had to help them to at least not get fired. Yes, Qiao Xin would do everything she could, although she couldn't guarantee that she would do well.

"Alright, can we take a fifteen minute break? I'm sure if you guys are tired and hungry too, I'll take some food here, after that we'll practice again until the evening. How?" asked Qiao Xin giving advice, hearing that all the women there looked at each other then they seemed to be scared too.

"No need, Young Lady Han, we have been paid dearly. We-"

"Never mind, don't ever protest or feel that you are the most guilty person. You are human, not robot. Teaching me from morning until almost evening and you guys haven't eaten, isn't that justifiable? I'll bring food, and you can't complain anymore."

"Qiqi, you can invite them to eat at the dining table. The maids have already prepared food for them."

Qiao Xin turned her head, and she saw her mother-in-law standing in the doorway. Hearing, Qiao Xin immediately ran, then she hugged her mother-in-law's body very tightly.

"Thank you mom. I didn't think that if Mother was so considerate, I would take them to the dining room and eat first, okay? After that I will practice again," Qiao Xin said. She also invited the seven teachers to eat, making her mother-in-law smile sweetly.

Yes, the hug that Qiao Xin gave earlier was very warm, a very warm touch that made her mother-in-law look at her own daughter's figure, compared to the figure of the daughter-in-law in front of her.

"Qiqi, you are indeed different. Mother will never let you out of Xiao Long's hands. You have to be Madam Han, you have to stay by Xiao Long's side. You must be together forever, because I know that you are a husband and wife who complete each other. Maybe right now neither you nor Xiao Long are aware of many things, but Mother, as well as everyone who has seen you two more than understands that you two really get along well together. And thank you for treating me like your own mother."

"What about Jiang Min, I don't understand him at all. Didn't you see that we also saw Jiang Min walk into his office this morning, right? Then why did the female employees even say that Jiang Min was not in the office. This is strange, does he think we should come to borrow money from him?" annoyed Qiao Xin's mother.

Even Qiao Xin's seemed silent. He glanced at his older sister with a long sigh. At least now, all he had to do was stay positive no matter what.

"Don't get me wrong and think bad first, Sister. It could be if what we see is not Jiang Min. but rather a similar figure, didn't Xiao Long also say that Jiang Min was out of town on a business trip. So we-"

Qiao Xin's uncle stops words as his older sister grabbed his arm, then Qiao Xin's mother looked at her younger brother with an unusually sharp gaze.

"Jia Min, you see, isn't that Jia Min, Qiao Xin's ex-boyfriend?"
