CEO's Reborn Wife

Over there, someone sent him an emoticon of a pout.

James Black chuckled softly and sent her a voice message.

"What gift do you want?" — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Upon hearing this question from James Black, Jane Sampson’s mind instinctively jumped to a bunch of choices.

Peeled spicy crawfish? A bag of jelly? A row of yogurt?

It’s been a long time since she had candy, and she really wanted some.

Would a lollipop be better? Or cotton candy?

So annoying, why had she only gained four catties? If it were five, six, seven, or eight catties, she could choose like an adult.

But, even though her brain was buzzing with ideas, as a classy Monkey King of Sampson, Jane would never tell James Black the choices she absolutely would not make.

When James Black sent another question mark, Jane cleared her throat and replied in a particularly haughty tone.

"This is your problem, not mine. Don’t push what you have to do onto me. We’re both adults; if you keep doing this, I’ll be exhausted." — James Black’s wife.

The words were quite infuriating and very cocky.

James Carter and a few others stood nearby listening, wanting to laugh but feeling they shouldn’t; if they laughed, Jane might get embarrassed and angry.

Jane was hugging her mobile phone as she stepped off the electronic scale and was sitting on the sofa, grinning with her teeth out, waiting for James Black to reply. But after waiting for a few seconds, there was no indication he was typing, so Jane made a puzzled noise, muttering if her mobile was broken.

Then she humorously shook her mobile phone, making the people nearby almost burst out laughing.

"How long is Jane planning to stay in the countryside with your grandparents?" Father Carter asked Jane timely when he saw she was getting anxious.

Jane finally put down her mobile phone to answer her father’s question.

"About a week, I haven’t arranged much work for myself recently." Jane said, "Staying for ten days to half a month shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Your grandparents will be so happy. When I have time over the weekend, I’ll also go to the countryside to accompany you guys. I haven’t taken a vacation for a long time either." Father Carter felt a bit envious of his already retired parents and his semi-retired wife, and also of his son, who’s his own boss.

Anyway, he’s the busiest in the family and hasn’t taken a vacation for a long time.

"Sure." Jane replied happily, "Then when you come, Daddy, Brother and I will cook something delicious for you!"

"I’m in for a treat." Father Carter felt very warmed by Jane’s words.

Just as they were talking, Jane’s mobile phone buzzed.

"James Black replied to you, check it out quickly." Father Carter urged Jane with a smile.

Not only Jane, but he was also very curious about what James Black would reply to Jane.

Father Carter really didn’t know how interesting things were between Jane and James Black in private.

James Black’s reply was a voice message.

Opening it revealed his signature deep and pleasant voice.

"Hmm, this is my problem. I’ll prepare these four gifts for you, but when you return, I want to check if you cheated. If you did, the gifts are canceled, and you won’t get even one." — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Jane, upon hearing this, pouted. James Black was threatening her either to go back early or ensure she eats well and maintains her weight, without losing a single catty.

It’s all part of the scheme.

Jane thought, James Black surely assumed she’d choose to return quickly within the weight-maintaining time to get the gifts.
