From the ingredients in the fridge, Gu Nuan hastily made some instant noodles. With meat and egg, they were fairly nutritious. After eating, she conveniently took a shower here, as she had some clothes brought from home in her luggage bag.
Though it was said to be a place found for her, as long as she thought about the fact that he had paid, Gu Nuan didn’t plan to really take this place as her own to do whatever she wanted. She didn’t intend to touch any of the furnishings in the room. She even kept her clothes in her luggage, not planning to put them in the wardrobe here.
In the bathroom, as she had expected, there were all kinds of items—shower gel, soap, essential oils, cologne, you name it. She arbitrarily picked up a bottle, its foreign label signifying all were genuine imported brands.
Gu Nuan had never used these skincare products. She left them untouched. She took a hot shower. Afterwards, she lay on the only bed in the bedroom and started chatting with Su Yixia.
During this time, since both of them were from the same school and graduated together, they had become closer while looking for jobs.
Su Yixia chattered on without mentioning anything about school, instead bursting out with a big piece of gossip first.
"Do you know what he did again?"
From Su Yixia’s tone, Gu Nuan immediately knew whom she was referring to—that son of the nation’s wealthiest man known as "National Husband."
This person had become very popular in recent years. Apart from constantly making shocking statements, primarily his own mysterious aura contributed to his fame. Other than being verified as the tycoon’s son, nobody outside knew his specific name. They only knew him by the name he claimed on Weibo as "Young Master Xiao."
What he looks like, nobody knows.
Last time, she mentioned that if it weren’t for the fact that his statements were somewhat related to the finance which she studied, Gu Nuan actually had no interest in the affairs of the wealthy circle. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
"What did he say?" Gu Nuan asked.
"Go check his Weibo," Su Yixia teased.
Gu Nuan had to open the Weibo page; she didn’t look at her own follows but only at the Weibo trending topics list. Sure enough, today’s top trending topic was Young Master Xiao’s shocking declaration.
One should say, today’s statement by Young Master Xiao was indeed more concise and practical compared to his past comments.
Young Master Xiao said, "I got married."
Four words to describe the impact of this statement on the internet would not be an exaggeration.
Someone commented directly under the Weibo post: "Young Master Xiao dropped a nuclear bomb!"
The post exploded on Weibo.
The comments refreshed at a rate of over a thousand per minute.
Densely packed, soon, there were tens of thousands of comments visible.
—Young Master Xiao, how could you get married? You are the nation’s husband, you belong to all of us!
—Young Master Xiao, didn’t expect a jerk like you would have a woman brave enough to take you. It really proves your saying, there are no jerks who cannot find wives,
only poor men who cannot.
—Young Master Xiao, hearing you got married shattered both my girlfriend’s heart and mine. Show us a picture of your wife, at least let us give up hope.
—As if Young Master Xiao would share a photo of his wife. He doesn’t even show his own picture. He must be too ugly to be seen, and his wife must be just as hideous.
Speaking of him not sharing his pictures, it was indeed a bit inconsistent with his usually narcissistic demeanor.
Some people inferred he must be too ugly to behold.
But thinking about it, it’s unlikely. After all, there were photos circulated online showing what Xiao Jianming’s wife looks like—a beautiful photo. Xiao Jianming often appeared in public, and though he was aged, he wasn’t bad-looking.
