Despite this old man in front of her looked well advanced into his age, but he still held his back straight. His well-defined facial features were adorned with wrinkles. His sharp pair of eyes were like the keen eyesight of a hunting eagle, and it gave out an authoritative aura.It was the kind of old man who would leave lasting impressions on anyone. Su Kexin immediately recognized him from the many magazines and news reports he had appeared on.It was none other than Old Master Gu, Gu Yuanxiong. S City’s most elite family, the Gu family’s patriarch.Su Kexin could not believe her own eyes. Gu Chi’s grandfather was the Old Master Gu? In other words, the Gu family’s mysterious second young master was Gu Chi?Being the richest in S City, people were naturally curious about the Gu family. Old Master Gu only had one son, but his son and daughter in law had passed away early in life, leaving two grandsons behind.There was a huge age gap between Old Master Gu’s two grandsons. The elde
“Gu Chi, what are you...”This was a familiar scene for her. Memories of what happened two years ago came flooding back. Fear engulfed her. She shivered uncontrollably while her tears streamed down her face.Gu Chi seemed to have noticed the internal struggle that was going on within this lady beneath him. He looked up to be greeted with pearls of tears rolling down her face. At this moment, his body stopped what he had planned to do.He held back his aggression and propped himself up, placing his arms on her sides. He looked below him and with a low voice, he asked her, “Su Kexin, are you afraid of me?”Su Kexin only raised her hands to cover her trembling exposed shoulders while she remained mute.It was as if a splash of cold water was suddenly poured unto him and cooled down that burning fire in him. He quickly released the frightened girl. Looking at her pale complexion and the tears glistening in her eyes threatening to roll down any moment, he felt his heart ached.Damn it
Su Kexin finally understood what was going on. Gu Yihan did not know about her marriage to Gu Chi. On the contrary, he only knew that they have some sort of relationship going on hence he thought that Gu Chi was her wealthy sugar daddy?Su Kexin instantly felt her already cold heart became more spiritless.Heck.‘Gu Yihan, oh Gu Yihan. What kind of woman am I in your heart that when I seemed to have any connection with a rich guy, you would naturally form such filthy ideas?’To be honest, Su Kexin could somewhat decipher Gu Yihan’s train of thoughts. Gu Yihan’s impression toward Su Kexin was that she was like a prostitute who sold her body for money. How was it possible for her to be legally married to someone like Gu Chi?“Su Kexin! Answer my questions!” Gu Yihan could no longer hold in his anger.Su Kexin finally responded to him. She coolly looked up and answered him with a steady voice. “You’re free to think whatever you want to.”With that, she somehow found the strength to
Pindrop silence. Pindrop silence throughout the whole office.But it did not last for very long before everyone burst out laughing hysterically.“Haha! Sis Kexin! You are too hilarious! It’s funny of you to say that you are Gu Chi’s wife!”Su Kexin joined the laughter even though her heart sighed in relief. As expected, it was a better choice for her to admit it as a joke rather than to deny it, thus avoiding further questions regarding this issue.But the acting needed to be complete. She pretended to get upset. “What are you all laughing about? Why won’t you believe me? Am I such a poor fit for him?”“Sis Kexin, we don’t mean to say that you are a poor fit for him. As you know it, Gu Chi is from a different universe from us common people, how is it possible to have any relationship with him?” Xiao Mei placated her in between tears of laughter.Su Kexin pursed her lips before giving a small smile.There was no doubt about it. Logically speaking, Gu Chi and herself were from t
Su Kexin’s face turned pale. “You already know about it, don’t you? About the incident two years ago.”If Gu Chi had done a background check on her as what he had said, he would have also found out about that incident two years back.Gu Chi noticed how Su Kexin’s face paled within seconds. “I only know a summary of it.”What information that Gu Chi obtained regarding that incident two years back, it was from what rumors people had circulated back then. He did not dig deeper into the incident to investigate its authenticity.In the beginning, he did not investigate further was because he did not care about such a past. But later he still chose not to do so because he had hoped that Su Kexin would personally tell him the truth.Color from Su Kexin’s face continued to drain away as she struggled to speak. “Since you already knew about that incident, why did you still take me as your wife?”Gu Chi took a look at Su Kexin, he did not want to sugarcoat what he wanted to tell her. “Trut
The next morning, Su Kexin and Gu Chi were having their breakfast at the dining table. Gu Chi glanced at Su Kexin and asked, “How was your sleep last night?”Su Kexin looked up. “Not too bad. Why do you ask?”“I was afraid that you might be too scared to get a night of proper sleep because I was beside you.” Gu Chi took a sip of his coffee before he nonchalantly added, “If you need to, I can always move to the guest room to sleep.”Su Kexin wondered what he meant by that before she realized that Gu Chi was referring to that incident a few nights back. She blushed as she replied, “We’re a married couple, there is nothing wrong with sleeping in the same room.”Gu Chi looked at Su Kexin. “You don’t blame me for that night?”He still remembered vividly about that night, how when he tried to go near Su Kexin, the horror in her eyes, the resistance she had. All of it made Gu Chi felt uncomfortable.Su Kexin awkwardly looked at Gu Chi. “I don’t. What you did was understandable.”“Under
Su Kexin was not expecting that. She shook her head.Gu Chi had told her that some things should be left unknown for her wellbeing, that was why she never probed further.“Gu Chi met with an accident 10 years ago. Everyone had thought that Gu Chi had become a paraplegic due to the accident, but truth be told, he only had some injuries and recovered after being treated when he went to America.” Ji Xiangru nonchalantly explained as though it was not a taboo to speak about it.Su Kexin vaguely remembered that she did read about the news of the accident regarding the second young master of the Gu family.It was said that Gu Chi was not even 20 years old and was a freshman at university back then. He was abducted and the perpetrators had asked for a million Yuan worth of ransom money. This incident was sensational at that time, a lot of public attention was given to it and the media made a lot of coverage regarding it.Later, it was said that after the abductors had received the ransom
Su Kexin and Lin Xiaoru were half-siblings that shared the same father but different mother. Notwithstanding that they shared a bond by blood, but they had grown up in different environments with hardly any interaction. There was no sisterly bond between the two of them.Especially after the issue involving Gu Yihan, Su Kexin felt that the last bit of pretentious behavior usually displayed by Lin Xiaoru was completely unnecessary. She did not know why Lin Xiaoru called her.“Su Kexin, you don’t sound very happy receiving my call?” Lin Xiaoru’s plastic sweet voice was heard over the phone.“There is nothing to be happy about. Just cut to the chase, why are you calling me?” Su Kexin was impatient, she could not be bothered to put up an act to entertain Lin Xiaoru.“Of course it is due to something good if I phoned you. I heard that Aunt Su’s condition is improving.” Lin Xiaoru sounded like a squeaky little girl over the phone.Su Kexin’s heart sank. How did she know about her mother
