Well I'm certainly not saying what he may have done okay, my point was simply that I'd see all affairs as involving cover-ups.
With regards to whether others in the company helped hide it, though, that's on them. Your boss can tell you to do something, you still have to agree and then actually choose to do it.

Affairs are normally secret, a cover-up implies others find out and are induced or choose to collude to keep it secret.
You're right. The problem is how he involved Nvidia in covering up for him.
Huang had an affair with a customer. He then had spokespeople say "the company that employed Ms. Huang, Megaspeed, was like any other regional customer" [1]. Just this Friday he had Nvidia lie for him: "Mr. Huang’s interactions with Ms. Huang were 'not unusual' and consistent with the kinds of meetings he has with any of Nvidia’s many customers" [2]. If that were the whole story this would be a massive breach of fiduciary duty.
Then we learn Ms. Huang was a Chinese spy. While Jensen was advocating for looser restrictions on selling AI chips to China. While Jensen was selling chips to Megaspeed that were being publicly investigated for re-shipping to China.
And he decides to come clean about this after control of the Congress flips in a way that guarantees his secrets will come out.
