Se connecterGu 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 Kexin!" The moment Xiao Mei saw her, she rushed over like a tornado. "Our magazine was published today and guess what? We broke our sales records in just one day!"
Xiao Mei squealed loudly, holding out the newly-printed issue to Su Kexin like a treasure.
Su Kexin lowered her head and immediately saw Gu Chi's photo on the cover.
Although it was clear that the man in the picture was sitting in a wheelchair, his extraordinary looks and the coldness in his eyes still stole the attention of anyone who looked at him.
"It's wonderful." Su Kexin was sincerely happy.
"Wonderful doesn't even cut it! It's stupendous, it's wondrous, it's utterly magnificent!" Xiao Mei was still lost in her la-la-land. "You really should go check out Weibo. Our President Gu is trending now! Everyone's arguing their pants off."
"Arguing? About?"
"About our Mrs. Gu's identity, duh! Sheesh, you'll know if you just check it out."
Since this was the first day of their issue going on sale, Su Kexin had nothing better to do and plenty of time to kill, so she turned on her Weibo app.
Gu Chi really was trending.
She casually scrolled through Weibo and saw the cries of Gu Chi's fangirls—
[Oh my goodness, why didn't anyone tell me that the Chiyao president is sooo hot?! Sorry exes, I have a new husband now!]
[Oh heavens, are you sure this isn't a model? This power is overwhelming.]
[What's the point of living this life if I can't get Gu Chi…]
Su Kexin read through the exaggerated comments, feeling exasperated.
It was true that Gu Chi was very good-looking, but more importantly, there was that halo around him—
He was a top double major graduate from one of America's Ivy League universities, and he had given up a high-ranking position in Wall Street to come back to this country, founding the Chiyao Group all on his own. Within a few short years, he was a force to be reckoned with in S City, and even in the entire country.
No matter how you looked at it, Gu Chi was almost unbelievably perfect.
As the netizens fangirled over him, they did not forget about Gu Chi's mysterious wife too, of course—
[Alright, since my husband has publicly announced our relationship in an interview, I won't hide it anymore. I am the legendary Mrs. Gu!!!]
[I'm guessing Mrs. Gu is the heiress of some financial power, right? Why else would Gu Chi make it so big within two short years?]
[Tch, could the guy above me not be so salty? For all you know, Mrs. Gu could be a veritable Cinderella.]
Cinderella?
Su Kexin burst out laughing.
That was right. With her background, the fact that she ended up with Gu Chi was nothing short of a Cinderella story.
Su Kexin was scrolling through her Weibo nonchalantly when her phone suddenly rang. The caller was none other than her best friend, Mimi.
"Hello." Su Kexin answered the call immediately.
"Hey, Kexin?" For some reason, Mimi's voice sounded rather careful across the phone. "Did you hear?"
Su Kexin blinked. "Hear what?"
"Gu Yihan… He's back…"
Su Kexin's smile froze in an instant, and all the blood drained out of her face, as though she had been hit by lightning.
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."Su Kexin
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, there was worr
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, what did

There was actually a ring on Gu Chi’s slender ring finger.It was the simplest of designs, inlaid with some melee diamonds.Was this not the ring Su Kexin had bought and tossed into her dresser table drawer?Su Kexin was stunned, and she even forgot to sit down by the dining table. Eventually, Gu Chi raised his head and looked at her.“What is it?” Gu Chi asked, but when his gaze swept across her empty finger, he raised his brow slightly. “Where’s your wedding ring?”Su Kexin was left feeling a little awkward there.Earlier, she had thought that the ring she bought did not suit Gu Chi, so she did not wear hers in front of him either. What she did not expect was for Gu Chi to find the ring she had stowed away and even put it on.Su Kexin had no choice but to take her ring out of her bag, but when she put it on, she could not help but say softly, “Sorry, I just simply chose the design.”Su Kexin’s lips curved. “It’s alright. It looks good.”Su Kexin did not know what to say to that, so
“Open the door.” When Su Kexin still refused to reply, Gu Chi spoke again outside the door. “You dropped something.”Dropped something?Su Kexin’s confused thoughts were finally cut short. After some hesitation, Su Kexin finally walked to the bathroom door and slowly opened it a creak.Before long, Gu Chi’s well-defined hand reached in, holding a soft and white towel.Su Kexin was instantly stunned.“You came out here to look for this, right?” Outside the door, Gu Chi’s tone sounded somewhat amused. Inside, Su Kexin felt her face burn up.“Thanks,” Su Kexin said hurriedly, grabbing the towel in an instant and closing the door after.When Su Kexin emerged from the bathroom, wearing her nightclothes, Gu Chi had already changed into dark blue silk pajamas. He was sitting in the bed with a laptop on his lap, typing something quickly.Su Kexin was once more confused.Since Gu Chi’s legs were not working very well, she had thought that he would have plenty of servants helping him out with h
