Gu Chi looked at Su Kexin's back outside the windows and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, she's a little different."It was true that he did not expect Su Kexin to decline his offer so decisively.He had instructed Yang Zuo to investigate Su Kexin's past, and the results of that investigation told them that she should be a golddigger who could sell anything for a little bit of money. That was why he had chosen her, after all.A woman who could be placated with a little bit of money was much safer and easier to control than those so-called heiresses who were after his entire fortune. Of course, he had to admit that there was another reason he chose her. He simply did not hate her.This, however, was surprising. Was she really so disinterested in his money?Or was she even craftier than he expected? Was she baiting him?Gu Chi's gaze grew slightly darker and he finally drew it back."Get going."When Su Kexin arrived at the magazine company, the entire office was in chaos."Sis K
In S City's financial district, the top floor of Chiyao Group Tower. Gu Chi sat behind his desk, his fingers flying across his keyboard. The numbers and figures on the screen changed rapidly as he typed. Ding-ring-ring.The phone on his desk rang suddenly, and Gu Chi pressed it without thinking. Yang Zuo's voice spoke over the phone. "Young Master Gu, Young Master Lin is here.""Let him in."The office door opened soon enough, and a man with pretty features and a garish pink shirt slipped into the room."You're still working, Gu Chi?" When the man saw Gu Chi, he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I thought that since you finally got married, you would at least go on a honeymoon even if you skipped out on the wedding."Gu Chi's eyes did not leave the computer screen. He simply replied with two short words. "No time."The guest had already taken a seat at Gu Chi's desk. Gu Chi's cold attitude did not make him angry; instead, he narrowed his pretty eyes and chuckled. "Poor Sis-in-law,
Su Kexin could not remember how she took a cab back to the manor.The entire way, Mimi's voice just reverberated in her mind—He was back…How could he be back? Why was he back…?He left so decisively back then, without even a word of goodbye. So why was he back now?Su Kexin was completely dazed and distraught. It was only when she walked into the manor and saw Gu Chi sitting in the living room that she forced herself back to her senses."You're back so early today?" Su Kexin was surprised. "Yeah," Gu Chi replied calmly. Just then, Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang carried their luggage into the living room."Aunt Zhang, Uncle Wang, you're…""Young Madam, our son's getting married tomorrow. We're going to go join his wedding," Uncle Zhang said kindly."Really? Congratulations, then," Su Kexin said. "How long will the wedding be?""We're just having a banquet in S City, so we'll be back by tomorrow night." Aunt Zhang's smile was very gentle, but when her eyes fell upon Gu Chi, ther
Su Kexin blinked for a bit before she realized that Gu Chi was holding an electric razor. So his razor ran out of batteries, huh.Su Kexin immediately took the razor and looked at it before frowning. "It needs a button cell. Aren't there any at home?""I called and asked Uncle Wang, but it seems not.""We'll just have to buy some, then." Su Kexin peeked at Gu Chi. There was some black stubble on his chin, so he did need a shave. "Are there any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby?""No."Su Kexin was stunned. "None at all?"Gu Chi shook his head.For a moment there, Su Kexin felt defeated at the hands of these rich people. "What do we do now, then?" Su Kexin was quite exasperated. "Should we call your assistant to buy you one?""He's already on the road, and there's a really important conference today, so I'm worried he won't make it in time." Gu Chi frowned slightly. "I asked Uncle Wang. He has a new razor but it isn't electric, so I don't really know how to use it."
It was still the face from her memories, but compared to his youthful good looks back when they were students, the lines on his face were more pronounced now, and there was an air of steady maturity in his brow.More importantly, the gentleness she missed was long since gone from his face. All that remained was cold distance. He seemed to be listening to the reports from his subordinates around him, and he nodded occasionally, giving a few simple orders.His gaze never once looked toward the s
Jiang Lili was so blunt that it turned Su Kexin's face pale, and she could not say much more. She just said, "Don't pull my leg, editor. I'll head there right now."As she took the documents to Gu Yihan's office door, Su Kexin took quite a few deep breaths before she finally lifted her hand.Knock knock knock.Just knocking on the door seemed to sap her of all her strengths."Come in."Gu Yihan's familiar voice spoke from within the office, and Su Kexin pushed the door open, walking in.Al
Su Kexin's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Yihan disbelievingly.Her expression made Gu Yihan feel an inexplicable sense of frustration. It had already come to this, so why was this woman still acting dumb?He straightened up his body and walked up to Su Kexin again, pinching her chin and looking at her with intense disgust and contempt in his eyes. "Su Kexin, did you think that I, Gu Yihan, would continue to have feelings for a woman who could sell her body for money?"Su Kexin turned com
Still, it was better to hurt now than to drag it on for even longer.She swallowed the tears rising up her throat and said quickly, “If there isn’t anything else, editor-in-chief, I’ll take my leave now.”With that, she hurriedly left without even daring to give Gu Yihan another look.Su Kexin ran right out of the company, but when she arrived downstairs, she saw that it was raining heavily outside, and she had just happened to forget her umbrella upstairs.However, she did not have the guts
