It\u2019s not about work.<\/div>\n
Serenity\u2019s beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked him again, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? You said we are husband and wife, and there\u2019s nothing to hide. You also promised that no matter what happens in the future, you will never keep anything from me again.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWife,\u201d Zachary replied quietly, \u201cI was teased.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity was taken aback.<\/div>\n
Had she heard him correctly?<\/div>\n
Who would dare to tease Zachary?<\/div>\n
He wore a stern expression all day, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay, and a team of bodyguards accompanied him everywhere, ensuring no one approached him without permission.<\/div>\n
It seemed impossible for anyone to tease him.<\/div>\n
After considering it, Serenity asked, \u201cWas it a man? Is he gay and interested in you?\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity reasoned that only someone of the same sex would be permitted to approach Zachary, giving them a chance to flirt.<\/div>\n
After a pause, Zachary, still speaking softly, responded, \u201cIt was a woman. I was discussing business with a client tonight. Mr. Dawson\u2019s female secretary, Analia\u2014his only daughter\u2014flirted with me when we shook hands.\u201d<\/div>\n
He then released Serenity\u2019s hand, raised the right hand that Analia had touched, and complained to his wife, \u201cWife, it\u2019s this hand that was flirted with.\u201d<\/div>\n
Seeing his aggrieved yet disgusted expression, Serenity found it both amusing and slightly annoying.<\/div>\n
Although the couple had not yet held a wedding, their relationship had been officially announced. Who didn\u2019t know they were a legal couple?<\/div>\n
Gazing at his handsome face and admiring his suit and leather shoes, she realized he was mature, calm, shrewd, and capable\u2014all words that described a successful individual. He exuded an air of dignity. Such an exceptional man.<\/p>\n

The man was a magnet in his own right, easily drawing attention wherever he went. It was common for someone to be attracted to him and fall in love, just as she had. However, it was unusual for no one to like him; after all, most people are drawn to beauty. He was undeniably beautiful, which typically endears people to him. <\/p>\n

Serenity held his right hand, examined his palm, and smiled as she asked, \u201cShall I wash your hands for you?\u201d Zachary remained silent but nodded in agreement. Serenity led him to the bathroom, applied hand sanitizer to his palm, scrubbed it thoroughly, and rinsed it repeatedly at the sink. <\/p>\n

After a moment, she remarked, \u201cIt\u2019s been cleaned thoroughly, without a trace left behind.\u201d Despite her efforts, Zachary\u2019s handsome face remained tense. Serenity then guided him to sit on the sofa in the study. <\/p>\n

Turning to him, she asked, \u201cAre you still angry?\u201d She gently touched his face, pinching it playfully twice. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a man or a woman, being too good-looking can lead to trouble.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary replied, \u201cAppearance is natural but not perfect; what can I do? You can\u2019t disfigure yourself because of some unworthy individuals.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not! Why would you change yourself for others?\u201d Serenity lifted his right hand, kissed his palm, and added, \u201cI\u2019ll help you erase any trace of that woman. Don\u2019t look so disgusted; you can\u2019t just chop off your right hand.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary remarked, \u201cBy the way, Ms. Dawson is quite bold. She even dared to tease me. Aren\u2019t you usually accompanied by Jim and the others? You typically don\u2019t bring young women to business meetings.\u201d <\/p>\n

Everyone was aware of Zachary\u2019s preferences; those who wished to discuss business with him typically refrained from bringing a young and attractive secretary, often opting for a male secretary or their wives instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready married? Who would have thought that\u2026 married men are not safe?\u201d Serenity laughed and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s even more dangerous for married men. You\u2019re mature, stable, and successful in your career, which makes you attractive to many young women. They often shout the slogan of pursuing true love, disregarding the fact that you are someone else\u2019s husband, and they interfere in other people\u2019s marriages.\u201d<\/p>\n
