Chapter 99 Asking for Trouble

  When Gu Yan turned around, her eyes had become calm again. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll go upstairs."

  "Hey, aren't you going to take a bath?" Xiao Qian looked at her with some surprise.

  Gu Yu shook her head, "It's the same going upstairs to wash."

  The upstairs bedroom also has a bathroom, but it's just smaller than the one downstairs.

  Xiao Qian watched as Gu Yu took her phone and went upstairs without looking back, feeling a bit strange. Gu Yu seemed to be walking away with a distant gaze, not the gentle and soft one she had before.

  Gu Yu closed the door, took off her clothes and stepped into the bathroom.

  She took a deep breath and felt that the stuffiness in her chest had not dissipated.

  It's been these few days that they've always been together, so she's also confused. Actually, whether or not he saved her number doesn't matter much. After all, two people who see each other every day don't often make phone calls; even when there's something going on, it's more common to find each other through their assistants than directly with each other.

  But...

  She still keeps his number, from the moment she entered this family, no matter how many phones she changed, she still kept his number, writing down his name properly, even if it's rarely used, but at least he is there.

  She thought that for a careless man like him, these details were nothing at all.

  Besides, he didn't like her, why be so meticulous with her.

  Yes, her only hope is that even if they get divorced, she hopes they can still leave a good impression on each other, rather than thinking back and saying, "She was a terrible woman." Who doesn't want others to praise them when talking about them, at least say something nice, not just say, "That woman was especially terrible..."

  Gu Yu shook her head, she had been mistaken for a few days and forgot that person was Xiao Qian.

  In Xiao Qian's eyes, she had always been a useless woman. How could six years change in just a few days?

  She's thinking too much.

  Laughed and shook his head helplessly, but felt relieved a lot.

  At this time, however, they heard a knock at the door from outside, and it was Xiao Qian who was knocking.

  "Gu Yan?"

  Gu Yu locked the door from the inside to prevent him from taking advantage of her being alone and getting physical with her.

  She wasn't dressed and didn't intend to open the door, "What's up?"

  Xiao Qian said, "Nothing's wrong with you?"

  "What can I do?"

  "Oh, never mind, I just thought you looked a bit strange."

  "It's been so long since I've done anything with my hands, even wrapping dumplings is tiring. I'm exhausted, let's just meet again tomorrow if nothing else comes up."

  Xiao Qian seemed to have left, and Gu Yu only walked in, feeling the water from the showerhead starting to warm up, washing away a day's fatigue.

  After washing up, she picked up the hair dryer and wanted to blow her hair when she saw the phone flashing.

  Gu Yan picked it up and took a look, and it was actually Jiang Xiaoxuan...

  It's simply...

  The lingering spirit...

  Gu Yu cursed in her heart, picked up the phone and said with a polite tone, intentionally trying to please him, "Director Jiang, is there anything I can help you with?"

  "Director Gu, I heard that your family's old man is so inhumane, he actually paired you with Xiao Qian and sent you to the border to have children... When I heard this, I was really heartbroken. What does the Xiao family take you for? Are you a tool? Are you human? How can they forcibly lock you up with him like that?" Jiang Xiaoxun's voice was also filled with pain and indignation.

  Naturally, compared to acting, she is definitely not as good as Jiang Xiaoyun at doing things.

  "Never mind, I came voluntarily and there's no coercion to create people. If nothing else, I'm very tired and want to rest."

  "Hey, don't hang up, I'm here to surprise you."

  "What?"

  "Stick your head out of the window and look outside."

  Gu Yu listened to Jiang Xiaoxuan's light and quick voice on the phone, and for a moment, she only felt that something was not quite right.

  She grabbed the phone with one hand and hurried over to open the window. She really looked out, but saw at a glance...

  The man standing outside the white railing, leaning on the railing, holding a phone in one hand and waving at her with the other. Who else could it be but Jiang Xiaoxuan?

  Gu Yu felt shocked and shouted into the phone, "Jiang Xiaoxun? Are you crazy? What are you doing here?"

  ”

  "I've come a long way to bring you some midnight snacks, come and take them quickly. I specifically asked someone to order from a famous restaurant, thinking that in this godforsaken place, you probably can't get anything good to eat, so I came to treat you specially."

  Gu Yu didn't want to go out and just yelled into the phone that you're crazy.

  However, she was indeed hungry and felt very hungry after eating, because her mood was not good, turning sorrow into appetite is the easiest thing for a woman to do.

  She is also an ordinary woman, and she should be.

  A few minutes later.

  Gu Yu directly went downstairs and looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan, saying loudly, "The thing, give it to me."

  Jiang Xiaoxuan gazed at her across the dark night, sizing her up for a moment before smiling and quickly retrieving something from a parked car nearby.

  A delicate food box appeared in front of Gu Yu.

  Gu Yu took it and said, "Thanks, bye."

  "Hey, Gu Yan, aren't you going to pay for that? You just took the thing and left?" Jiang Xiao Xun hastily called out to her.

  "Oh, I'll pay you back later, and I'll also give you 100 yuan for gas and 100 yuan for your trouble. Thanks for the delivery." said Gu Yan.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan's face was innocent.

  It seems like he's being treated as a delivery guy now.

  "You can't be so heartless and ungrateful, I came all the way from far away, it took me more than two hours to drive here, you..."

  Gu Yan turned around, looked at Jiang Xiaoxuan with a helpless expression, "Director Jiang... I really don't know what you mean by this. As a married woman, meeting you in the middle of the night is not good for my reputation. I'm already married and have nothing to gain from being seen with you, but you're different, Director Jiang. You still have a bright future ahead of you, and there are many people who want to pursue you, from the imperial city to Shanhai Pass. Why bother ruining your own reputation here?"

  "Ah, Director Gu, you don't know, I'm just such a sentimental person, I myself am moved by my own infatuation. My heart aches for you, the more I see you following that insensitive Xiao Qian, suffering like this, the more I feel unbearable pain in my heart. If I don't save you, I'll feel unfulfilled."

  Gu Yu speechlessly stared at this thick-skinned and astonishing man, for a moment she was left speechless.

  Jiang Xiaoxuan was about to speak again when a cold shout came from inside.

  "Gu Yan, what are you doing outside?!"

  Gu Yu was taken aback.

  That was naturally Xiao Qian's voice, coming from the entrance hall.

  Xiao Qian went downstairs from Gu Yan's place and heard her voice.

  Gu Yu was off in the evening, and Xiao Qian had already noticed it.

  So, even after a long time, Xiao Qian still couldn't fall asleep, he just sat there, browsing the news on his computer, listening to the noise outside, and soon heard Gu Yu wearing slippers going downstairs.

  He didn't expect that at almost 11 pm, Gu Yu was actually out seeing a man!

  And this man was none other than Jiang Xiaoxuan, that son of a bitch.

  Xiao Qian took one look at Jiang Xiaoxun, who was dressed in a crisp suit, and felt a surge of anger rising up his throat, his fists clenched involuntarily.

  But Gu Yan...

  He turned around and took a look at Gu Yu, suddenly, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

  Gu Yan wore only a nightgown inside, with an outer jacket on the outside. She had just taken a bath and her hair was still dripping wet, water droplets falling onto her shoulders, making them all wet... like this... like this...

  It's all right then.

  Did she just directly appear in front of Jiang Xiaoxuan?

  Xiao Qian's anger almost burst out, but then he heard Jiang Xiaoxuan smile slightly and say, "Hey, Director Xiao, how's it going? I heard your old man ordered you to come here and study. How's the studying going?"

  He swallowed his anger and stared at Jiang Xiaoxun, the quiet night passed over his face with a cold silence. After a while, he suddenly smiled and looked at Jiang Xiaoxun, "Ashamed, ashamed, Grandpa always taught us that being a person is about following rules and laws. If we made mistakes, we should follow the rules and take responsibility for ourselves. Since I did it, I dare to take the consequences, follow the law, and learn from it."

  "Wow, I didn't expect Director Xiao to still be such a young and vigorous youth." Jiang Xiaoxun said.

  Xiao Qian chuckled and said coldly, "Yes, we're not like Jiang Zong, we have a family and a business to consider. We've always been timid and afraid of trouble for the sake of our families. One day, Jiang Zong will also have a wife and a family, and he'll understand how I feel. It may seem like just one more person at home, but truly, with this person, it's a real family." As he spoke, he walked over and pulled Gu Yu's arm,

  The man put his arm around her and placed it on her shoulder.
