“…” Gu Juexi did not reply.
Did he say something wrong?
Gu Juexi lowered his head to look straight into Ye Yuwei’s eyes. The look in the eyes of the girl in the big fire and the girl in the university chapel many years ago had indeed changed.
“You’re even more attractive now,” Gu Juexi said calmly without blushing.
Ye Yuwei was speechless.
Ye Yuwei was secretly delighted by his words, but she still looked at him with a straight face. “Mr. Gu has been very adept with his words lately.”
“Always have been.” What Gu Juexi said sounded shamelessly boastful.
Ye Yuwei made a vomiting face at him and looked around. “Then, would you dare to piggyback me out of here?”
There were many people in the neighborhood, especially old men and old ladies who were taking a walk downstairs.
Ye Yuwei was just pulling his leg since she knew how concerned Gu Juexi was of his reputation.
However, what Ye Yuwei did not expect was that when she cut across Gu Juexi to leave, Gu Juexi lifted her on his back directly. Ye Yuwei hugged Gu Juexi’s neck in a panic and said, “Hey—”
“You asked for it,” answered Gu Juexi with a calm face as he carried her out.
Ye Yuwei buried her head in Gu Juexi’s shoulder when the old men and women turned around to look at her. How did she end up being the one feeling awkward?
Gu Juexi carried Ye Yuwei on a piggyback without a care of being seen by others. What was wrong for him to piggyback his own wife?
Ye Yuwei internally scoffed that, in terms of brazenness, no one in the world could compare to Gu Juexi. Yet, it was exactly this kind of brazenness in him that she fell madly in love with.
In Gu Enterprise’s executive assistant’s office, Xiao Yaojing was lying on the sofa as she ate the apples that PA Wen had cut for her, her hands were busy scrolling on her phone. PA Wen was not in the office at the moment; he was attending a meeting.
When Xiao Yaojing saw the news about Gu Juexi, she cursed in her heart. Her man was working so hard at the company, but Gu Juexi still had the heart to go around distributing dog food?
Just as Xiao Yaojing was about to send a message, the secretary knocked on the door. Xiao Yaojing sat up straight and let the secretary in.
The secretary greeted Xiao Yaojing with a respectful ‘Director Xiao’ before coming in and placing the folder on the table.
“What’s that?” Xiao Yaojing stood up curiously and walked to the desk.
“It’s a folder containing the information Executive Assistant wanted on Ding Enterprise,” the secretary explained, turned around, and left the office.
Ding Enterprise?
Was it about Ding Junqi’s family?
Xiao Yaojing reached over for the folder. There was a label ‘2’ on it. It was probably not the first folder.
However, before Xiao Yaojing could open it, Wen Tao had already returned from his meeting.
Seeing that Xiao Yaojing was standing at his desk, PA Wen came over and put down the documents in his hand. He hugged Xiao Yaojing from behind and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Xiao Yaojing shook the document in her hand. “Why are you looking into the Ding family? As far as I know, the Gu Enterprise hasn’t had any projects with the Ding family recently.”
Pa Wen glanced at the document in her hand and reached out to take it. He sat down on the chair and opened up the folder. “Do you remember the previous report saying that Shan Shan has a forty percent genetic match? ”
“I’ve always thought that Le Tian is related to your family. For example, your mother—my mother-in-law—actually gave birth to two babies back then.” Xiao Yaojing placed her hands on the table and looked at her husband with a cheeky grin.
PA Wen’s gaze fell on Xiao Yaojing’s stomach. Even today, he was still in disbelief whenever he thought about the results of her last checkup. Initially, he thought that Xiao Yaojing had simply eaten too much. Xiao Yaojing’s belly had already started to bulge when it would normally have taken other people three or four months into pregnancy to reach the same size. After a checkup at the hospital, they found two embryos in her belly. This was definitely a surprise for PA Wen.
