The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 167 Julian Is Overreacting

"You don't have to overreact about this..." Susan said weakly.

"Was I?” Julian was rather excited. “I just want everyone to know that my wife is the most exceptional person."

"I just won a small competition!"

"That's because there is no bigger competition than this. If not, you'd still be the champion,” Julian said without any hesitation. "That's it. I'll go and order a banner first."

"A banner?" Susan looked at Julian in shock.

Julian nodded his head. "I need two banners. One will be hung in the company, and another will be at our home. I even thought of what would be written on the banners. Congratulations to Susan for winning the design competition.”

Susan was deeply shocked.

He even wanted to hang the banners at both their company and home.

Susan felt that she would go crazy any minute.

Susan pleaded, "Please don't."

"Why? I want the banners to have a grand design too. It'll be very prestigious!" Julian was still quite excited.

No matter how grand and prestigious those banners were, they were still nothing more than plain banners.

Susan felt quite exhausted with him.

After half an hour, Susan was finally able to eliminate that sudden creative idea which emerged in Julian's mind.

"Why shouldn’t I hang the banners...” Julian felt that it was a waste not to do so.

Susan could not help but roll her eyes at him.

"We can forget about the banners, but we must hold a celebration party for it." Julian stood up all of a sudden. "We're running out of time. I'll go and settle everything now. Moreover, we still have the guest list

Julian murmured as he started taking action.

"Have mercy on my soul!" Susan lay down on the giant bed and complained about it loudly.

The next day at Ningcheng City.

"Did you receive the invitation card from the Shaws?"

"Yes. The butler sent it over this morning."

"Me too."

A few rich people met each other.

"This is indeed Julian’s first time holding a party at his home since he took over the Shaw Corporation. We must be there."

"That's for sure. This is a good chance to get close to Lanyard Construction."

They were having a heated discussion.

"Then do you know why Julian is holding a party this time around?"

"It seems like... his wife won the design competition."

"Don’t talk nonsense here! Why would he invite all of the rich and famous people in the entire city for such a trivial thing? I think that it might just be a ruse.

Julian is definitely going to do something big during the party!”

"I think so too. This party is going to be something."

It was the first time Julian had held a party at home since ten years ago. He even invited all of the famous and rich people. The others could not help but have all kinds of conjectures.

Julian decided to arrange the party at a suburban manor.

The employees started their work in the middle of the night the previous day. They began decorating the venue in order to ensure that the party could begin according to the appointed time.

The next morning, there were all kinds of fresh ingredients that were being airlifted to the manor.

The entire manor was bustling with all kinds of activities.

“Susan, is Julian holding a party?" It was a call from Madam Shaw.

"Yes,” Susan said.

"He has finally come to his senses.” Madam Shaw seemed rather delighted. "I told him earlier on that we need to build relationships with others as businessmen. It is inevitable. This party is indeed a great chance for everyone to communicate and build their relationships. He even thought that it

was troublesome and refused to listen to me. At last, he listened to me. Did he hold the party on the basis of celebrating your success in the design competition?"

"Yes," Susan continued. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Madam Shaw could not help but exclaim in wonder." Julian has indeed become a much mature businessman now. He's more thoughtful. This excuse i s just nice, not exaggerating anything. By the way, why is he in such a hurry in organizing a party as grand as this? Did he have any important decisions or plans to announce to the world? It’s been a long time since I inquired about Lanyard Construction. I didn't receive any news."

Susan’s lips twitched inevitably.

What kind of decision and plan was there?

"Mom." Susan took a deep breath in resignation. "He had no decision or plan to announce anything to the others. The party is being held just to celebrate my success in winning the competition."

Madam Shaw was quiet for a short while. After that, she continued, "Susie, don't make jokes here. Just forget about it. Julian certainly has his own plan. I'll not ask about it first since everything will be made known tonight. Is the party going to be held at Breeze Manor? I'll go and supervise the progress for you. It's the first time we’ve held a party in ten years. There must not be any mistakes or errors.”

After that, Madam Shaw hung up the phone in a hurry.

Susan felt extremely nervous after she heard what Madam Shaw said.

Actually, she wanted to say that...

They really had no such motives in mind.

They were holding the party just to celebrate her success.

But it seemed like only both Julian and she believed that kind of excuse.

Susan felt that they were in trouble now.

"Susie, what do you think about this? Will I look good i n this dress?” Ayl a approached her excitedly and showed her a full dress on the phone screen.

"It's rather good," Susan replied. "You’re fair, and the purple dress will match your skin color perfectly."

"I think so too," Ayla said happily. "Then I’ll look at more full dresses. Later, I'll rent one and wear it to the party."

Susan coughed twice. "Actually, tonight's party is just an ordinary party. You don't have to go all the way and trouble yourself with wearing a full dress."

"It can’t be so!” Ayla said immediately. "This is the first time Mr. Shaw has ever held a party. Moreover, we’re going to celebrate your success in winning the competition. I will definitely try my best to dress myself up nicely.”

"That’s true. We can’t embarrass our company." The others agreed with her.

"Besides, Mr. Shaw even let us take the afternoon off. We have plenty of time to prepare ourselves for the party."

"Mr. Shaw is going to hold a party. We're really looking forward to it.”

"I heard that a lot of prestigious people from Ningcheng City are invited to the party too other than the employees from Lanyard Construction.”

"Not only that, but I heard that Mr. Shaw even hired great stars and artists to perform during the party."

They had a heated discussion about the upcoming party.

Susan touched her forehead in resignation.

Julian went out of his way to hold the party, and it seemed rather crazy.

There were around five hundred employees from

Lanyard Construction who would be attending the party that night.

In addition, there would be another five hundred prestigious people from Ningcheng City too.

Hence, it meant that they would be hosting a party for around a thousand guests.

It was all because of her success in winning a competition. She wondered whether it was necessary t o hold a party for a thousand people just because of that?

Susan was speechless.

Everyone left work in the afternoon.

All of them went home to prepare for the party happily. They cared so much about the party. So Susan could not embarrass herself too since she was the hostess. The professional makeup artist came to her home at an early hour, and she was forced to let the makeup artist help prepare her look for the party.

In the evening, Susan was finally done with her makeup. Julian was standing at the door, staring at her.

When he saw Susan, he narrowed his eyes inevitably. Susan was wearing a ful red dress that night. She seemed extremely gorgeous with her exquisite makeup.

"Does this color...seem too striking?" Susan was rather awkward.

Her closet was filled with plain and dull-colored clothes. She never had clothes that had striking colors.
