Chapter 16: His Body

Qi Xiaoyi thought he had guessed Xiang Wanqiao’s thoughts and said excitedly, See, I knew it.

Gu Jingzhan’s mouth, which had just been raised, slowly fell down again. His drooping eyelids covered the disappointment in his eyes.

Who knew that the next second, Xiang Wanqiao would say something shocking.

She slightly raised her chin and said proudly, I want his beauty and his body; is that not okay?

Qi Xiaoyi had three black lines on his forehead and was extremely speechless.

Gu Jingzhan was choked by Xiang Wanqiao’s words and coughed twice in embarrassment, with an unnatural look on his face.

Husband, what’s wrong with you? Xiang Wanqiao asked innocently.

Gu Jingzhan put his fist to the tip of his nose and cleared his throat. No, it’s okay.

Qi Xiaoyi frowned, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiang Wanqiao was really not friendly. He muttered angrily, You are such a shameless woman!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jingzhan glanced at him coldly.

If you can’t speak properly, shut up! His tone was full of warning.

Qi Xiaoyi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and continued, I don’t understand. What kind of magic potion did this woman give you? She would rather die than be with you. Now you can act as if nothing happened. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?

Gu Jingzhan’s fingers on his thighs curled slightly, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

He said lightly, As long as she is willing to stay with me, I am willing to give her a chance.

You are really hopeless!

Qi Xiaoyi shook his head and sighed, wearing the same look of disappointment as Lu Qingzhou before.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at Gu Jingzhan in front of her, and her heart ached.

This silly man, what is so good about her that he deserves to love and protect her so much in two lives?

Even though he knew that she had other purposes for staying with him, even though he could not possibly have a place for him in her heart, even though he knew that all this was a trap set by her…

He still loved her wholeheartedly without reservation.

Xiang Wanqiao took a deep breath and turned to Qi Xiaoyi, saying, Boss Qi, no one is perfect. I didn’t know what was good for me before, and I loved the wrong person. Now I have turned back from my mistakes. You can’t even give me a chance to reform, right?

After hearing this, Qi Xiaoyi chuckled, Who knows if you have really reformed? What if you are pretending to be subdued and intend to murder Brother Zhan?

She did this in her last life.

But in this life, she will definitely not let Gu Jingzhan down again.

Who cares whether you believe it or not, as long as Ah Zhan believes me. Xiang Wanqiao snorted at Qi Xiaoyi, then turned to look at Gu Jingzhan. Hubby, do you believe me?

Gu Jingzhan met her clear and bright eyes and saw himself reflected in her gaze, staring at her intently as if he were bewitched.

He opened his lips slightly and said, I believe it.

Xiang Wanqiao curved her cherry lips, and just like that, she leaned forward and kissed Gu Jingzhan in front of Qi Xiaoyi.

A reward for you.

Gu Jingzhan curled his lips, and a tender smile appeared at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he were still savoring the light kiss just now.

Qi Xiaoyi: …

It’s really unbearable to watch!

Brother Zhan, who has always been calm, self-controlled, and polite, is actually a love-brained person!

Xiang Wanqiao raised her eyebrows at Qi Xiaoyi with a smug look on her face and said with a hint of expulsion, Boss Qi, do you want to stay and have lunch with my wife and me?

Qi Xiaoyi opened his mouth and was about to say something when he received a cold warning from Gu Jingzhan.

Okay, okay, I’m leaving. I won’t disturb you guys from having lunch here, okay?

He stood up from his chair and was about to leave.

Boss Qi, are you leaving now? The food will be served soon. Why don’t you stay for a meal? Xiang Wanqiao said playfully.

Qi Xiaoyi rolled his eyes at her in resentment. I don’t want to be a light bulb. I’m annoyed to see you guys being so affectionate here!

After that, he left with an angry back.

After Qi Xiaoyi left the private room, he felt uneasy, so he sent a WeChat message to Gu Jingzhan to remind him.

[Yi: There is something wrong with this woman Xiang Wanqiao. You should be more careful.]

After lunch, Gu Jingzhan drove the car back to the downstairs of Gu’s Group and turned around to remind her, Be careful when you drive back by yourself, and pay attention to safety.

Yeah. Xiang Wanqiao put her arm on the center console, supported her cheek with one hand, and said playfully, I will wait for you to come back for dinner at home.

Originally, Xiang Wanqiao wanted to stay at Gu’s Group to work with him in the afternoon, but when she thought of what he said during dinner, she instantly gave up the idea.

If she made such a suggestion now, he would inevitably doubt her motives.

It was not easy to build up a little trust, and it couldn’t be lost so quickly.

So she thought about it seriously and decided to forget it.

Gu Jingzhan thought that the home she was talking about was the Xiang family and casually asked, Are you still planning to stay at the Xiang family tonight?

It’s our home, Guiyuan, Xiang Wanqiao explained to him.

Hearing the four words our home, Gu Jingzhan’s heart trembled violently, and his eyes sparkled.

He opened his lips slightly and repeated the four words, our home.

Isn’t it? Xiang Wanqiao blinked at him. Isn’t Guiyuan our home?

Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes and smiled, responding in a low voice, Yes, our home.

So, remember to come back early tonight, huh?

Okay.

Gu Jingzhan turned sideways, leaned forward slightly, and placed a gentle kiss on the woman’s brow.

Drive slowly.

Xiang Wanqiao smiled shyly and nodded in response, I know, I will pay attention to safety.

After watching Gu Jingzhan enter the Gu Group building, Xiang Wanqiao took out her mobile phone from her bag and called an unfamiliar number.

The phone rang twice, and the other party answered, Miss.

The shyness and smile on Xiang Wanqiao’s face disappeared instantly, and she became serious and indifferent, completely different from the appearance she had just shown in front of Gu Jingzhan.

She asked in a cold voice, How’s the thing I asked you to investigate going?

Miss, I have almost finished investigating the things you asked me to look into. I will send it to your computer after I organize it tonight.

Okay, let Hualing move faster on the acquisition of equity. I will start to act after the bidding conference for the West City Tourism Resort Development Project is over.

Yes.

Have Xiao Xuan’an and Lu Siwei met with anyone recently?

Xiao Xuan’an recently met with several shareholders of the Xiao Group in private. It seems that he wants to acquire their equity or win them over to his team. Lu Siwei is busy because the Lu Group was suddenly exposed to substandard product quality. Except for some partners, she hasn’t met anyone special.

Xiang Wanqiao tapped the back of the phone with her fair and delicate fingers, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, she spoke slowly: Let Hualing contact the shareholders of the Xiao Group that Xiao Xuan’an met and find a way to buy all their shares.

Okay.

The problem with the Lu Group is not just the substandard product quality; the company’s accounts also have big problems.

Send some information to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau and ask them to send someone to the Lu Group to investigate.

Yes.
