Chapter 42 - Chapter 41: “Acting CEO: Just Kidding… or Am I?”

(A prank too perfect to ignore. A husband too cold to crack. And one wife who absolutely will.)

🏠 Morning – The Perfect Setup

Xu Yinyin sat with Grandpa Lu at breakfast, biting into toast.

"Let me pretend to be CEO for one day. Just to mess with him."

Grandpa sipped tea and gave her a look full of wisdom and mischief.

"He deserves it."

"Then we'll need an office banner, fake appointment letters, and acting skills."

"Done. I'll make the call."

🏢 Lu Corporation – 9:00 A.M.

Lu Zeyan arrived at the office like any other day. Cold. Composed. Deadly handsome.

But the moment he stepped in…

"WELCOME OUR NEW CEO — XU YINYIN!" 🎉

He froze.

Confetti fell. Staff clapped awkwardly. Grandpa smiled with his arms behind his back.

Yinyin strutted down the hallway in a blazer, heels clicking like power.

"Morning, Assistant Lu."

"I'm the CEO."

"Not today."

🪑 Meeting Room – Queen Yinyin Takes Over

She called a "board meeting." Staff were utterly confused. Zeyan was fuming.

"Today's priorities:

• We fire anyone who looks grumpy.

• Free milk tea for the creative team.

• And my husband? He's demoted to coffee duty."

Zeyan stared, arms crossed.

"This isn't real."

"Neither are your social skills," she shot back sweetly.

🧃 Lunch Break – It Gets Worse

Yinyin changed his office nameplate to:

"Lu Zeyan — Hot, But Not In Charge"

She even took over his schedule.

"Cancel your 3 p.m. meeting. I need you to buy snacks."

"This is harassment."

"This is marriage."

🕵️‍♂️ Zeyan Cracks the Code

Something felt off.

• Grandpa was way too supportive.

• The paperwork didn't look legal.

• And HR kept giggling.

He marched into his own office and confronted them both.

"This is a prank."

Grandpa: "Is it?"

Yinyin: "Are you sure?"

Zeyan narrowed his eyes. He spotted the giveaway — Yinyin's signed contract… printed on pink glitter paper.

"You forged this with your craft printer."

"It sparkles. You're welcome."

🧨 End Scene – The Reveal

Yinyin burst into laughter and fell onto the couch.

"Okay okay okay, you win. It was a prank."

Grandpa shook his head fondly.

"A very entertaining one."

Zeyan exhaled. Then slowly walked toward her.

"You're unbelievable."

She looked up, still laughing.

"But did you believe it?"

He leaned down.

"Yes. And you'll pay for that tonight."

Her eyes widened.

"Wait what—"

Blackout.
