Episode 16
"I know," Xiao Qing said, "His intentions were good, I’m not blaming him." However, what Lu Jinyang thinks about him is another matter.
After a brief silence, Xiao Qing suddenly said, "I really hope they can handle this matter quickly and come back soon."
"Yeah~"
...
Upon arriving in the United States, Gu Chen was the one who picked up Lu Jinyang and Xiao Anze.
After realizing they’ve been staying at a hotel, Lu Jinyang said irritably, "Didn’t I give you the keys to my villa?"
"Forgot to bring them~" Gu Chen replied.
Lu Jinyang didn’t respond, but glanced at Gu Li beside him. With his experience, just one look and he could see the interaction between the two.
He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; had Gu Chen finally found his happiness here?
Xiao Anze, on the other hand, wasn’t as interested in analyzing the couple’s relationship. He said, "Let’s go; quick and decisive—I have my wife and kids waiting for me."
Gu Li naturally knew Xiao Anze, as she had been personally appointed by him to be Xiao Qing’s assistant, so she said, "Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Xiao."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang instinctively questioned, "Did you receive his wedding invitation?"
Gu Li was puzzled and shook her head.
"Oh, I thought he had thrown a wedding party and didn’t invite his sister and brother-in-law."
Xiao Anze understood the implication of Lu Jinyang’s words and felt a bit awkward. He and Yang Qiao had a child out of wedlock—not only were they not married, but also not even engaged.
For so many years, he had only given Yang Qiao a title.
He cleared his throat twice and kept urging, "Are we leaving or not? If not, I’m heading out first~" Lu Jinyang was such a gossip! Had he known the man talked so much, he would’ve had his own people pick him up.
Lu Jinyang returned, and Gu Chen and Gu Li finally stopped staying at the hotel.
After arriving at Lu Jinyang’s place, Gu Li thought she could finally have a separate room from Gu Chen, especially since he’d been relentless these days, making her so exhausted she felt weak in the legs each time she returned to the hotel.
However, Lu Jinyang told them, "There are no extra rooms in the house, so you two will just have to stay in one."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen happily accepted, but Gu Li’s face turned grim—not that she could make any demands, as it was the home of her own CEO.
Originally, she thought that in the coming days, Gu Chen would tire her even further, but she found out that since Lu Jinyang’s return, Gu Chen barely had time to come home, spending most of his time outside.
She let out a big sigh of relief, finally able to get some proper rest for a few days.
-
At the hotel where Gu Chen and Gu Li had stayed before, in the room next to theirs, Lu Jinyang, Xiao Anze, and Gu Chen—three grown men—sat together, with Xiao Enli seated across from them.
Looking at this scene, it unmistakably seemed like three guardians bullying a child.
Xiao Enli instinctively swallowed and looked at Xiao Anze, "Bro, seriously? I sacrificed so much to let you find your wife and kids, and you treat me like this now?"
Xiao Anze smiled slyly, "Come on, man, you know I can’t be arrogant in front of my brother-in-law. My wife and kids are under his control, so you better cooperate with us."
Hearing that, Xiao Enli wished he could slap that turncoat. Had he known, he wouldn’t have informed Xiao Anze and would’ve just traveled around the world himself, sparing himself the heartache he’s experiencing now.
"Xiao Anze, you better pray I don’t get into any trouble!"
