“Gu Xiao Xiao didn’t know about your identity and agreed to marry you?” Xu Ming asked, intrigued. If Chu Yi Chen had hidden his identity, then Gu Xiao Xiao probably had pursuers who were far better than Chu Yi Chen.
“She doesn’t like people who are rich.” Chu Yi Chen continued his story with his head lowered. He very nonchalantly answered Xu Ming’s questions.
Xu Ming almost laughed out loud. He remembered what Chu Yi Chen had just asked him to do; to just listen to the story and forget about it. But how can he just forget it after hearing about it?
“How do I organize Gu Xiao Xiao’s work in the future then?” Xu Ming asked tentatively.
“Don’t pull any tricks. My wife advocates for the liberal policy. Whatever she likes, let her choose.”
If Xu Ming didn’t just hear this with his own ears, he never would’ve believed those words just came out of Chu Yi Chen’s mouth. After staring at him for a while, Xu Ming walked out of his office, his eyes shining.
Gu Xiao Xiao doesn’t like people with money, yet she found herself someone wealthy. Chu Yi Chen doesn’t want to tell her the truth and doesn’t want others to know they are married. So, Xu Ming had high expectations of how things will look when the truth gets revealed.
Nighttime came and Chu Yi Chen left the office to go home. After opening his condo door, he saw nobody inside. After a while, he knocked on the door across the hall and then quickly found the person he wanted to see.
Gu Xiao Xiao stuck out her head and peeked at him. Then very quickly, she shifted her gaze and didn’t dare to exchange glances with him. She stepped back two steps and let him in.
“Gu Xiao Xiao is sleeping here. Don’t try to steal my person.” Chu Xiao Xi was eating take out food in giant gulps at the dining table, she twisted her head and glared at Chu Yi Chen, then said straight up, “She has to work for me these upcoming days. She has no time for you.”
“Work for you? How are you calculating her salary?” Chu Yi Chen took off his jacket and walked over to ask.
“Are you for real? You are going to discuss this with me?” Chu Xiao Xi looked up at him in disbelief.
“Of course. She’s taking unpaid leave.”
“Go, go, go, go, go, go. You need to leave right now.” Chu Xiao Xi impatiently waved her hand. “Without any warning, you stole my person and I haven’t even worked through that with you yet. You sure have the face…”
Chu Yi Chen didn’t speak more. He merely gave a meaningful look to Gu Xiao Xiao. A very faint smile hung on his lips. This seemingly there grin of his reddened Gu Xiao Xiao’s cheeks.
After last night, her strength has restored but the heat inside her body never dissipated. On the contrary, as time dragged on, she felt worse and worse.
In the end, she wasn’t even sure what time she fell asleep. Anyway, they stayed up till really late…
Chu Yi Chen let Gu Xiao Xiao stay wherever she wanted and didn’t give her a hard time. However, the quiet statement he whispered beside her ear before he departed made Gu Xiao Xiao blush from her cheeks to the ends of her ears.
“It seems like last night really tired you out. It’s alright, I’ll let you rest.”
After making this statement, Chu Yi Chen left and slammed the door, leaving behind Gu Xiao Xiao who stood there in silence and with a lowered head. It took her a long while to regain herself.
She came by the couch and sat down, then she took a deep inhale and buried her face into a couch cushion. She suddenly thought of herself as a lucky person.
“Gu Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?” Chu Xiao Xi dragged her up and asked her with many thoughts in her head.
“I am wondering how I am so lucky.”
“Lucky?” Chu Xiao Xi thought she heard her wrong, “You call yourself lucky when Jin Jing and Mu Yun Fan treated you the way they treat you?”
