Mr. Gu, Your Replacement Bride Is A Big Shot! Chapter 643

Chapter 640 - Jealousy

Gu Zhou stood up slightly and walked towards the desk. He glanced at the documents on the table and slowly placed them back into the drawer. “Oh.”

Qiao Nian was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected Gu Zhou to be so calm.

Wasn’t Gu Zhou curious at all about what Grandma had told her?

Qiao Nian stroked the snake’s head and continued, “I didn’t expect Old Master Lu and Old Master Gu to be comrades-in-arms. This kind of life-and-death friendship is really enviable. No wonder the relationship between the two families is getting better and better.”

“Yes,” Gu Zhou replied indifferently. He looked up slightly at Qiao Nian. Seeing that Qiao Nian looked interested, he said, “If you have anything to ask, just ask. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“I heard that you met the eldest daughter of the Lu family when you were young?”

Gu Zhou narrowed his phoenix-like eyes and sat lazily on the office chair. He casually picked up a fountain pen and spun it around. A trace of a smile flickered in his eyes. “I was engaged to her in the past.”

Qiao Nian was slightly stunned. She hadn’t expected Gu Zhou to tell her about this.

The pen in Gu Zhou’s hand stopped spinning. He placed the pen on the table and walked towards the sofa. He walked up to Qiao Nian and looked down at her.

“You—”

Gu Zhou bent down slightly, his face approaching Qiao Nian’s. He raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice sexy and hoarse. “Mrs. Gu, are you jealous?”

Qiao Nian’s ears turned red uncontrollably.

What nonsense was he spouting? She wasn’t talking about this at all, okay?

“If I treat her as my younger sister, will Mrs. Gu be at ease?” Gu Zhou asked seriously. His voice was low and magnetic.

Qiao Nian only wanted to ask if Gu Zhou had met the eldest daughter of the Lu family, but with Gu Zhou’s answer, she was too embarrassed to continue asking.

If she continued to ask, Gu Zhou might not tell her the answer. Instead, he might think that she was jealous.

She felt that she was not on the same channel as Gu Zhou. Some things would only get worse and worse.

“Why don’t we go to the Lu family together the day after tomorrow?”

“Hm.”

Qiao Nian didn’t expect Gu Zhou to agree so quickly. She wanted to get up, but Gu Zhou was a little too close.

For some reason, Qiao Nian recalled what Gu Qi had said to her.

Gu Qi had said that Gu Zhou had admitted to liking her.

She knew very well that Gu Zhou said this because he wanted Gu Qi to accept her as his stepmother.

However, her heart was still beating wildly.

Qiao Nian hurriedly threw those messy thoughts to the back of her mind. She thought of Chen Qing, who was standing at the door. She looked up at Gu Zhou and said, “Don’t let Chen Qing go out to do anything in the future. Let him stay by your side. With him by your side, he can take good care of you.”

“Aren’t you still at home?” Gu Zhou asked, clearly seeing the worry in Qiao Nian’s eyes.

When Qiao Nian heard Gu Zhou’s words, she was stunned. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.

Before she could speak, she heard Gu Zhou say, “And you’ll always be by my side, won’t you?”

Qiao Nian’s heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to break free from her chest. She didn’t understand what was wrong with Gu Zhou today. Why would he say such a thing?

Gu Zhou looked at Qiao Nian’s stunned expression and frowned slightly. His eyes were cold as he said, “Not only are you my wife, but you’re also my private doctor!”

So she had misunderstood.

Qiao Nian heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Gu Zhou straighten his back and move his butt to the side, she stood up and looked up at Gu Zhou, explaining, “I go out sometimes too. Let Chen Qing stay by your side.”

“Hm.”

Qiao Nian continued, “It’s getting late. I’m going to tell Little Qi a fairy tale. I have to go out tonight. Remember to ask Chen Qing to accompany you.”

Gu Zhou’s eyes darkened as he responded casually.

He didn’t ask Qiao Nian where she was going. Instead, he sat on the sofa and watched as Qiao Nian left the study.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze becoming more and more dazed.

Qiao Nian had just left the study when Chen Qing walked in.

Status: Ongoing Author:

Five years ago, Qiao Nian was schemed against by her sister, Qiao Xin. After spending a night with a stranger, Qiao Nian got pregnant. She did not know who the father of the child was, and eventually gave birth to a stillborn. Under the machinations of her mother and sister, Qiao Nian was stripped off of her shares in Qiao Group and sent to a mental hospital.

Five years later, her younger sister, Qiao Xin, was going to be married off to the Second Young Master of the Gu family. He was rumored to be extremely ugly. On the day he was born, the doctor predicted that he would not live past twenty years old. Her mother could not bear to see Qiao Xin marry such a person and thought of Qiao Nian, who was still locked in the mental hospital. Overnight, Qiao Nian was taken out of the hospital to replace Qiao Xin in her marriage into the Gu family.

Her mother said, "It's a good thing that Qiao Nian, this good-for-nothing, can replace Xin'er to be a living widow in the Gu family. If Xin'er were to marry into that family, I would be heartbroken."

Qiao Xin said, "Mom, don't say that about Sister. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what to do. I'm just worried that Sister wouldn't agree."

Her father said, "Xin'er, you're too kind. Have you forgotten how Qiao Nian slandered you five years ago? She has no self-restraint. She got pregnant before marriage and even gave birth to a stillborn child. We're treating her well enough by letting her marry someone from the prestigious Gu family! What right does she have to be picky?"

Qiao Nian sneered. Back then, the scheme against her had only succeeded due to a freak combination of factors, causing her to suffer. She was going to get back at all of them! Everyone thought that her actions were borne from a combination of a loser's mentality and mental illness, but little did they know that this marriage would be a strong union as impactful as Mars crashing into Earth! Taking advantage of her brilliant skills in medicine, Qian Nian made various trashy people and scumbags eat their words. In the blink of an eye, her multiple identities shocked the world as each of them got exposed. It turned out that she was rich enough to rival a country!

Later on, Second Young Master Gu placed a pair of Qiao Nian's miniature clones in front of her. Faced with these two children who resembled her and Gu Zhou, Qiao Nian blinked in shock. "When did I give birth to your children?"
