Chapter 596 A Wise Leader


    After getting into the bathroom, John closed the door behind him and lit a cigarette.


    He had been wondering about the reason he was feeling so nervous. He thought for a long time,


    but still could not arrive at a conclusion.


    After taking onest puff of the cigarette, he stubbed it in the washbasin. He just wanted to get the


    photos clicked and get married officially.


    Apparently, the smoke seemed to have helped him. When John walked out of the washroom, he


    was his usual cold, indifferent self with a sharp gaze.


    He sat beside Nina and held her hand while Caroline took photos of them. They looked beautiful


    with their fingers entwined.


    "So you''re all right after just one cigarette?" Nina asked, staring at John''s face from the side.


    Keeping his eyes fixed on the camera, John said calmly, "Stop looking at me and look at the


    camera, or else I am going to kiss you right here."


    Nina pursed her lips, looked at the camera as she leaned in closer to him, and teased, "I will do a lot


    more once we''re out of here."


    John looked at her from the corner of his eye and warned, "You are seducing me, aren''t you?"


    Nina gave him a seductive smile while she bit her lower lip.


    Although their behavior caught Caroline off-guard, she remained professional and captured the


    romantic moment.


    "If you are ready, I would like you to look at the camera," Caroline said with a smile.


    Nina moved her hand a bit and said with a smile, "Look at the camera, honey."


    Looking at the camera lens, John smiled. It was the first time that he had smiled in public in a long


    time. His smile was bright and beautiful, like the evening sun scattering through the thick canopy of


    a forest.


    His eyes were dazzling like that of a child that was seeing the world for the first time.


    Only Nina could match with his glow. She looked like a beautiful red rose, while he looked like a


    clearke.


    Caroline was speechless to see their beautiful expressions, but she quickly clicked the camera


    shutter and captured the breathtaking image.

    Once the photos were developed, Nina was shocked to see John smiling so brightly and beautifully.


    She had only seen him smile very faintly, even when they were alone.


    John was almostughing in those pictures, like a little child looking at a puppy. He seemed very


    happy, which attracted Nina even more.


    She instantly felt that all the lonely years in her life had vanished. She wrapped her arms around


    him, hugging him tightly. "I love you, John."


    John walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage licenses, holding Nina in his arms.


    Their rtionship was finally set in stone.


    John could not help smiling on his way back.


    It was not soft like the smile he had given when they were clicking their wedding photos. It was not


    a teasing smile or a gentle smile, but more like blissfulughter.


    Although heughed all the way, he made no sound.


    His smile died down after every few seconds and reappeared again. He tried to cover his mouth


    with his hand, but his happiness just could not be contained.


    It was endless, like the sky.


    The corners of his eyes were wrinkled from smiling so hard, but he could not stop.


    And John did not even try to refrain himself. He snickered like a child that had just found a chest of


    treasure, but he was worried that it might be taken away from him, so heughed in secret, covering


    his mouth.


    He was acting like a three-year-old boy, much more childishly than his own sons, who were four


    years old.


    Nina could not stand seeing that. "Do you realize that you''re driving, John? Don''t be careless. I don''t


    care if our lives are short, but I don''t want to die right after getting married."


    John calmed down and said, "All right, babe."


    Amy called to congratte them, but then ended up talking about work. "Mr. Shi, there is a meeting


    scheduled for 3:00 p.m. this afternoon, but you might not be able to make it before then, so I have


    postponed it to 3:30 p.m."


    "There''s no need for that, Amy," John said in a firm voice.


    ncing at the GPS, Nina retorted, "We have only ten minutes left to reach our destination. When


    did you learn how to race?"


    Her words rendered John speechless. He turned around and nced at her.


    Nina immediately understood that John wanted to cancel the meeting this afternoon. She could


    ept the fact that the leader of thepany was goingte because of her, but she wouldn''t take


    the me for the chaos that ensued in his absence.


    Besides, it was the second half of the year now. Three monthster, it would be the end of the year.


    Any meeting that took ce during this period of time was closely linked with the development


    strategy of the Time Group next year. John couldn''t cancel the meeting.


    "John. Try to be a wise leader." Nina looked at him seriously.


    John closed his mouth, which had been slightly parted. After being silent for two seconds, he said, "I


    remember that they submitted their application for leave today, but I haven''t had time to approve it


    yet. Amy, I''ll give you the password, and you can enter the system to approve it.


    They have devoted themselves to the development of the group. Today''s leave must be approved."


    When John finished speaking, he shot Nina a special nce, as if saying, "I''m a wise leader."


    Nina gave him a fake smile.


    ''I don''t think so!'' she thought to herself.


    Understanding Nina''s smile, John said to Amy, "Once you have approved their leave applications, I


    want you to send me a screenshot of it."


    Upon hearing that, Nina was speechless.


    She turned around and looked out of the window. She didn''t want to look at him anymore.


    All of a sudden, she felt that the beauty that was med by everyone in ancient times was really


    wronged. She hadn''t wanted to cause the chaos, but the me had fallen on her.


    Amy''s head was buzzing from the stress. "Okay, Mr. Shi," she replied in a faint voice.


    Sitting at her desk, Amy wrote an email to every person who was supposed to attend that meeting,


    in which she instructed them to write an application asking for leave, but they were supposed to


    make it look believable.


    John would be using the applications to fool Nina, but Nina was the hardest to fool, so Amy also


    warned them to be very careful, else John might think that they were trying to fool him.


    All of a sudden, everyone gathered in the conference room in order to think of excuses to mention


    in the leave application. The whole room seemed very chaotic.


    They all wanted to know the reason behind making them do that, and Amy informed them that John


    had gotten married that afternoon.


    Some people sighed wishfully, thinking that it would be amazing if John got married a few more


    times.


    After examining their applications, Amy forwarded them to John, who then showed them to Nina


    one by one.


    "It''s rare for me to get time off to be with you. Why don''t you cherish it?" John asked as he stroked


    Nina''s hair yfully.


    Nina was dumbfounded. She didn''t know whether to cry or tough. "Thank you so much. I don''t


    think I can repay you. How about I post it on WeChat Moments?"


    Nina posted the photo on the marriage licenses in her WeChat Moments. She also typed those


    words as a caption for the post.


    James seemed to know as soon as the photo was posted, as if he had installed a chip on the two of


    them.


    He immediatelymented below the post.


    "Shit! Does my grandpa have an illegitimate son?"
