The butler trembled for ten minutes before uttering two words: "Nothing’s wrong."
Aside from these two words, he dared not say anything more.
He was afraid that if he spoke, the next moment his head would be hanging from the beam for everyone to see.
The nanny saw his state and thought he had some hidden illness that suddenly acted up.
During those ten minutes, Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian hadn’t come over at all.
Just as the butler finally calmed down, Qiao Yuxian suddenly shouted very loudly: "Gu Yanjing!"
This time, not only the butler shook, but the nanny did too.
In all of Jingyu Garden, these two had been here the longest, since Gu Yanjing came to Jingyu Garden.
They had never heard anyone shout their Mr. Gu’s full name this loudly.
Even Old Sir Gu hadn’t reached this volume when calling his Mr. Gu’s name.
The two looked at each other and saw in each other’s eyes the intention of their Mr. Gu being ready to become single today.
And this intention of becoming single meant their new little wife was likely to be silenced.
With their over ten years of experience, their Mr. Gu wouldn’t let someone who dared speak to him remain in this world.
The two exchanged glances, considering whether they should sneak away first.
Lest they get caught up in it.
As they were thinking, they caught sight of Gu Yanjing coming over.
The two instantly stood straight and lowered their gaze.
Secretly watching as the two passed by the living room heading to the dining room.
Because they lowered their gaze, they could only see the legs of the two and their hands held together.
Also, because the two lowered their gaze, they didn’t see Qiao Yuxian’s face blushing red enough to drip blood.
The butler and nanny watched as their Mr. Gu and his wife, harmonious and loving, holding hands, went to the dining room.
When they couldn’t see the two anymore, they raised their heads and met each other’s gaze.
Was it a hallucination just now?
They definitely heard someone shout.
Then why didn’t their Mr. Gu react and just pulled the other person’s hand?
The two couldn’t understand.
But they soon understood.
Gu Yanjing accompanied Qiao Yuxian for a meal, though he didn’t eat; he sat next to her, serving her dishes.
The butler and nanny were stunned.
This scene for them was more astonishing than the sun rising in the west.
In an instant, the two decided that in this household, they must hold onto the wife’s leg tightly.
Mr. Gu could take a step back,
"Miss Lu sent me a message." Qiao Yuxian said while eating.
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing added a bowl of soup for her.
"Aren’t you going to ask what’s the matter?" Qiao Yuxian slowly ate her porridge, a bit hot, causing the wound on her mouth to hurt.
"What’s the matter?" Gu Yanjing asked.
"The person in her family who tipped off Feng Chuanbai has been found." Qiao Yuxian said, "She said she has sent the person over to you."
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing replied.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, lowered her eyes and smiled a bit.
He definitely knew what she wanted to talk about, and he definitely knew what Lu Mengyi told her.
Yet he still followed her words and asked.
"How did you deal with it?" Qiao Yuxian asked curiously.
Gu Yanjing looked at her without saying a word.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him again: "Hmm? What’s wrong?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her, paused for two seconds, and still didn’t tell her what he did to the person.
He instinctively wanted to hide his bloody and violent side in front of her.
"Handed it over to them, I didn’t see." Gu Yanjing said. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
This doesn’t count as lying.
He just talked about the disposition, and indeed didn’t see that person.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him again, vaguely understanding his thoughts: "Oh."
As she said "Oh," she was thinking, still quite mindful of his image.
Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing didn’t stay long at Jingyu Garden.
On Sunday, Qiao Yuxian gave the designer a rough idea, which would need refinement later.
After refinement, there would be renovations.
There will definitely be noise.
So they temporarily returned to Fenglin Villa.
A new week, Qiao Yuxian continued to excitedly go to work.
Even Gu Yanjing felt her excitement lasted a bit long.
Back when she was in school, he never saw her so excited.
So it was also a bit new.
Actually, half of Qiao Yuxian’s excitement was because of He Xin, their deputy team leader who was returning from his business trip.
An Zhiyi wasn’t giving her work; she needed to see what the deputy team leader meant.
So she went to work, all morning, going back and forth, continuously passing by He Xin.
Finally, she directly studied the coffee machine on the balcony.
Because according to her understanding with Lin You, He Xin would come to make coffee around 10:30.
Sure enough, at 10:35, Qiao Yuxian encountered people.
She was studying the coffee machine, heard footsteps, and looked toward the door. Seeing He Xin coming, her expression slightly surprised, she said: "Leader He, having coffee?"
"Hmm." He Xin smiled at her and walked over to the coffee.
Qiao Yuxian stood aside, drinking coffee while admiring the small potted plants on the balcony.
When He Xin finished brewing coffee and saw she hadn’t left, he asked: "Did you finish all your work?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at her again and said: "Hmm. The work is quite easy, so my efficiency is higher."
She didn’t mention An Zhiyi’s issue.
He Xin slightly smiled: "How’s the internship going?"
"Pretty good." Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "The workload isn’t much, and there’s quite a lot of free time. It feels much more relaxed than going to school."
He Xin smiled again and said: "I’m heading back to work. You should go back to your workstation too, or else you might get scolded if someone sees you later."
"Okay." Qiao Yuxian obediently returned to her workstation.
Then... before ten minutes passed, He Xin brought her work...
