Married at First Sight Chapter 4488

He let out a long sigh of relief when the president said everything was fine.

No one knew what was going on with the president this afternoon—he wasn’t as focused in the meeting as usual.

In the past, President Zhan would always ask everyone to mute or turn off their phones, and he himself would never glance at his own during meetings.

But this afternoon, he placed his phone on the table without silencing it. From time to time, he would glance at it, as if waiting for a call.

No one dared to ask what was wrong.

They could only speculate in silence—what on earth was going on?

“Ring, ring, ring…”

At that moment, Zachary’s phone rang. He immediately picked it up and saw that it was Serenity calling. In an instant, his absent-minded expression vanished, replaced by a bright look of joy. Even before answering, the corners of his lips curved into a smile.

Everyone: …as expected. President Zhan was waiting for someone’s call.

Ninety-nine percent chance—it was the president’s wife.

Only the president’s wife had the power to make President Zhan lose focus.

Could they have had a fight?

Was the president just waiting for his wife to be the first to call?

No way.

Because whenever there’s a conflict, an argument, or even a cold war between the president and his wife, it always spells trouble for them. The president would take out his frustration on the team, making life miserable.

“Yichen, take over the meeting. I’m stepping out to take this call.”
Regardless of everyone’s speculation, Zachary picked up his phone, stood up, and walked out of the meeting room.

His impatient expression confirmed everyone’s suspicions—it was definitely a call from the president’s wife.

As soon as he exited the room, Zachary quickly answered the phone.

“Wife.”

He deliberately spoke in a pitiful, aggrieved tone. “Do you still remember you have a husband? I thought you went off to have fun and forgot all about the man waiting at home.”

Serenity burst into laughter at the sound of his exaggeratedly pitiful voice.

Zachary returned to his office, walked to the sofa, sat down, and said, “Wife, you’re still laughing? God knows how much I miss you. The moment you left, I started missing you.”

“You sent me a message when you arrived in Yangcheng, but you didn’t call until now. I waited so long, and now you’re even laughing at me.”

Serenity smiled and coaxed him gently, “Okay, okay, I won’t laugh at you anymore. It’s my fault. I should’ve called you right away. I thought you’d be working and didn’t want to disturb you.”

“I ran into Lao Qi, and he took us out for dim sum. Then we had a bit of drama—he ran into his mortal enemy. The scene between them was so intense that I got caught up watching and forgot to call.”

“Grandma and Second Aunt kept reminding me to push Old Seven to find someone, fall in love, and get married quickly.”

“So, I started paying more attention to him and his enemy. It was so entertaining—this happy-enemy dynamic was hilarious. I really regret not recording it.”

“After that, we went back to Lao Qi’s house. I suggested staying at a hotel, but he refused. He said if he didn’t host us properly, you’d skin him alive when I got home, and the family would scold him to death.”

“To spare him from being scolded, I brought the kids to stay at his place.”

“Then I called Grandma and chatted with her for a while. I figured you might be free now, so I called you right away.”
