Ch. 51..55: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife Chapter 51-55

Chapter 51: Arrangement

Proofread by Peter Gong

When Yu Fei takes a bath, Gu Yi makes a large bowl of ginger soup for her for fear that she gets cold after her exposure to the rain. The ginger soup in the bowl is steaming. Gu Yi takes a look at the clock on the wall and finds that she has already been in the bathroom for nearly one hour. The hot water will turn cold for such a long time, but why doesn't she get out? Does she...

A terrible thought flashes in Gu Yi's mind. He immediately stands up and goes straight to the bathroom without care. Does she make away with herself? Standing at the bathroom door, he knocks at the door harder and harder. He shouts, "Fei? Yu Fei? Can you hear me? Say something!" But there is no sound inside.

A desperate terror falls on him. When he is about to press down the doorknob, the door is opened from inside. With his pajamas on, Yu Fei walks out with wet hair dripping, which forms small water circles beside her feet. Yu Fei's complexion turns a little rosy after the long shower. Gu Yi looks at her carefully and doesn't feel relaxed until he makes sure she is okay. He blames her, "Why don't you speak? You've scared me!" Then he pats his chest to make a scared look. He does it in order to amuse Yu Fei. However, she doesn't have any expression as if she didn't hear his words.

Taking Yu Fei to the living room, Gu Yi puts the ginger soup in front of her, "take the warm soup. It'll ward off the cold of the rain." Yu Fei stares at the soup, lost in her thoughts that Gu Yi has no way to know. Although Yu Fei is in front of him, he feels there is a huge mountain between them and he can't overcome it no matter what he does because Yu Fei doesn't even give him a chance.

Seeing she doesn't take any action, Gu Yi spoons the soup, blowing to cool it, and he puts it to her mouth, saying, "Fei, take some soup." However, the word "Fei" reminds her of that man. Her facial expression finally changes a little. She slowly opens her mouth and takes the spoon of the soup which warms her belly as well as her whole body. She looks up and delivers her first sentence tonight, "I take it myself", which delights Gu Yi and he passes the spoon to her. His mind is slightly assured by her coloring face after she quietly eats all the soup bit by bit.

Then he puts the bowl in the kitchen. When he walks out, Yu Fei still sits on the sofa blankly like before. He sits beside her. Thinking twice, he decides to ask her, "Fei, will you tell me what happened?" Yu Fei keeps silent and doesn't say anything. He doesn't ask her any more when seeing her like this. So he accompanies her by quietly sitting beside her. Then, they just sit together without a word.

It's getting late. Gu Yi asks her whether she wants to go to sleep, and now she finally has some reaction and nods. Gu Yi doesn't leave her until he makes sure that she goes to bed. He walks out, closes the door and goes to the balcony. A cigarette is lit and produces smoke which blurs his face. Lights in the city fill his sight and his secretary's words in the day appear in his mind again, "Boss Gu, several of our bids are blocked by someone, so the project may be..."

Although Gu Company is not the flagship of the industry, it ranks high after he has struggled for so many years. No company can do trick to Gu Company except Ko Company. He is clear that it is Ko Chen who deliberately puts obstacles and his motive must be Yu Fei. It is Ko Chen himself who pushes Yu Fei away again and again, but he doesn't allow others to approach Yu Fei and now he even plays such tricks to warn him.

Gu Yi takes a puff, blows a cigarette ring and puts out the cigarette whose fire flashes and darkens immediately. "Ko Chen, come on, I really want to see who can laugh the last laugh." He sneers. He immediately calls the planning department and orders them to re-plan all the programs to take back all the projects.

Ko Chen is dealing with files on the bed with glasses on in the Ko House. He doesn't know what a decision Gu Yi has made and what a disaster Ko Company is going to face. When Duan Tsingfeng comes in, he sees Ko Chen dealing with his work again and sighs aloud deliberately, which disturbs Ko Chen who is on the bed. Ko Chen delivers a puzzled look at him, "Is there something wrong with the ears of such an International great doctor?"

He says it with a smile. Duan knows that Ko means that he sighed too loud so Duan doesn't take it seriously. He walks straight to Ko Chen to take out files in his hands. "I've told you so many times that you need to rest to cure your disease. You can work in the company, but you're not allowed to work at home." He has stressed it so many times, but Ko Chen doesn't take it at all. Ko Chen would have a rest when Yu Fei is with him before. But since Yu Fei is gone, he becomes a complete workaholic. He is dealing with files both at home and in the company now.

Ko Chen ignores him as usual, taking the files back, and he begins to check them, "Well, I won't be cured anyway. It's better to deal with my work, so one day if I... Fei and our child can still have a good life."

Although he pauses for a moment, Duan knows what he means. Ko Chen becomes passive again, and Duan doesn't know what to say, after all, it is Duan himself who brings both hope and despair. He really believed Ko could be saved when receiving his tutor's email before. Unexpectedly, a few days ago he received another email which wrote that the experiment went wrong and there may be a delay in obtaining the result, and it was uncertain how long it would be delayed. "Can't you believe me? As long as I'm here, you'll be cured." Duan Tsingfeng tries to convince Ko Chen, but Ko just looks up at him calmly, "Tsingfeng, do you forget how my father died?"

What Ko says chokes Duan Tsingfeng who instantly loses his ability to talk.

Ko Chen's father is Ko Hua, once the best actor with wonderful acting skills and a handsome appearance, dazzling the whole movie world and thousands of audiences. However, he died young due to the same disease. Ko Chen doesn't believe his illness can be cured exactly for this reason. All he can do is try his best in the rest of his life to arrange Yu Fei's future without him.

 

Chapter 52: Disclosure

Proofread by Peter Gong

The heavy rain of the whole night washes the city clean. Crystal drops slip off the leaves, and the fresh air is refreshing. Yu Fei wakes up from the nightmare, opening her eyes and seeing the cold-toned household style, feeling stunned for a second, and the memory of last night emerges in her mind little by little.

Ko Chen, the heavy rain and Gu Yi

With a headache Yu Fei covers her forehead with her hands, and her thoughts are chaotic. She stands on the ground with bare feet, and her skin feels cool from the foot floor. For a moment her sights blurs, and Yu Fei shakes her head, waiting for the sight to becomes clear, then she walks into the bathroom with her muddled head. Seeing the woman with the red face in the mirror, Yu Fei is stunned, is this person herself? She raises her hand and touches her face. The woman in the mirror does the same thing and her hands feel hot.

Even after being taken care of by Gu Yi last night, Yu Fei inevitably has fever. After washing in dizziness she walks out of the room. The room is empty and no one is here, but there is a note on tea table by Gu Yi, which is full of all kinds of matters needing attention. Yu Fei reads it line by line, and she can't tell what she feels but she feels warm. She was planning to go home, but according to her current state of health, staying at Gu Yi's home is the safest option. Daring not to take anti-fever medicine, Yu Fei can only cover her forehead with a towel soaked in cold water over and over again. Because she is not very conscious, and after doing this several times, she is out of strength, lying on the sofa limply and falling asleep soon. Yu Fei sleeps soundly in Gu Yi's home and doesn't know that Ko and Gu are at a bloody war at this time.

After receiving Gu Yi's instruction last night, the staff of the planning department stayed up all night to turn over and re-worked out all the cases. Gu Yi examined them carefully, pointed out a few minor flaws and let them modify them a little. Until the new proposal comes out is Gu Yi relieved. Glancing at the time at the lower right-hand corner of the computer, he realizes that it has been noon already. His full attention is devoted to work and forgets the time.

Yu Fei is alone at home and maybe she wakes up. Gu Yi frowns and can't help but worry. When he is about to call her, the secretary suddenly rushes in even without knocking at the door, "Mr. Gu, something happened!" Gu Yi frowns deeper and looks at him with his sharp eyes, which makes the secretary calm down immediately. Although Gu seems mild-mannered in daily life, when one gets familiar with him he will know that he is nothing like what he shows. He is actually a scheming man!

The secretary calms down and clears his thoughts, then reports to Gu Yi in a calm tone: "Mr. Gu, Ko's company took a step ahead of us to send a new plan, and cooperator even didn't look at our plan and signed the contract with Ko's company." The secretary's voice gradually becomes lower, by the end he has lowers his head completely, and is afraid to look at Gu Yi's face. Gu Yi scowls with insidious and ferocious eyes like a representative from hell. They only spent one night. How could Ko's company happen to change their plan before them?

"Call all the people in the planning department to here!" Gu yi controls his voice but people still can feel his fury. Being in business for so many years, he will never tolerates a spy that sells company information around him. Few minutes later, when the manager of the planning department takes all the staff to the office, Gu Yi sits in the office chair with his back to them, and they can feel his rage just from his back.

"Mr, Mr... Gu..." The manager shivers and says, and as soon as the word "Mr" is just out of his mouth, a stack of documents flies towards him, sweeping by near his ears and falling, scattered on the floor. He is so scared that he immediately shuts his mouth. Gu Yi turns around, sweeps over everyone with fierce eyes, trying to find a flaw in their faces, "I only ask once, who has leaked the company secrets?"

The silence in the office is so quiet that even the sound of the needle falling on the ground could be heard. Gu Yi stands up from his seat and says with a low voice, "No one admits, right? Well, I'll give you a day, either to find this mole or to get out of here all !" Gu Yi is really angry this time, and the manager's forehead sweats and the shirt behind wets. After all the people of the planning department go out, Gu Yi dials the inline phone to call the secretary in. Now the news that the case lost has spread throughout Gu's company. Everyone knows that Gu Yi is in a bad mood like an active volcano that may erupt anytime.

"Tell the monitor office, send the surveillance video of the planning department to my computer." That mole who has secretly contacted him is definitely afraid after he just lost his temper, and all he has to do now is wait patiently for his falling into the trap. He will figure out who dared to betray him. Gu Yi spends the whole afternoon looking at the surveillance video on the computer. To his surprise, no one in the planning department had any unusual performance except that they all looked more careful. It seems he has underestimated this mole chosen by Ko Chen.

At the other side of the city, in the Coyote building, Ko Chen looks at the latest news in the phone screen which was sent by "cat". "He found it. Investigating." Ko Chen presses the home key with a casual smile, then the screen turns black and those six words of the text message disappear together. Ko Chen plays the mobile phone with interest. He is not surprised that Gu Yi found "cat", and if he were not found, that would be unimaginable.

Although Gu Yi has perceived that, the mole isn't exposed. As Ko Chen knows, Gu Yi is unlikely to find out who is this guy. Since Gu Yi appeared beside Yu Fei for the first time, he found the "cat" and ordered him to keep hiding in Gu's company until last night Gu Yi made a temporary decision. The"cat" thought it was a good chance so he contacted with Ko Chen to tell him that Gu would re-do all the case.

Because of this, Ko's company can step forward to change all the cases and take them all, taking away Gu's chance. Ko Chen's eyes are clod. He has never lost in his business, and Gu Yi has no ability and opportunity to compete with him and he will not have these in the future. Besides, the man has been challenging his bottom line.

Ko Chen's bottom line is always only Yu Fei.

Chapter 53: Men's Rivalry

Proofread by Peter Gong Waiting.

Ko Chen only replies in one word "cat", but it is enough to express his attitude. Since they want to play, the terminator of the game can only be him. As time goes by, there is no news from the planning department, and Gu Yi does not see any flaws in the monitoring. And he, who has always been calm, begins to feel more and more upset.

It is going to be dark soon. Tapping on the desk with his fingers, Gu Yi writes down several names on the paper, and asks the personnel department to find out their resumes. After reading them carefully for several times, he writes a few names on the paper and erases them, leaving only two.

In fact, Gu Yi doesn't care to dismiss both of them, but that is tantamount to admitting defeat. As a man, he knows that this is the challenge that Ko Chen has posed to him. The other side has no action until now, that is to say, he's determined that he can't find out the leaker.

After straightening out his thinking, Gu Yi calms down and stares at the two names on the paper for a long time. Until the secretary comes in and asks if he would inform all the staff to work overtime, Gu Yi calmly takes back his sight. He glances at the surveillance screen which has not been closed and the owners of the two names are on the screen.

Zhang Le, who graduated from a famous university, won numerous awards in university. It can be said that his resume is perfect. He usually wears thick black frame glasses and doesn't communicate with people often; Wang Hui, a senior of Gu's company, has worked in the company for many years. He is sophisticated and slick.

In this way, both of them are likely to leak the secrets. Gu Yi finally takes a deep look at them, turns off the computer screen, grabs the suit coat on the office chair, strides out of the office, and waves to the secretary: "No, let's get off work." There is a party in the evening but Gu Yi is not in the mood to attend it. He simply asks the secretary to postpone it. Sitting in the car and leaning against the seat, he closes his eyes and wants to have a rest. The driver looks at him carefully in the rear-view mirror, and he doesn't start the car. "Why don't you drive?" Gu Yi doesn't open eyes, asking unmoved, which makes the driver shiver.

He just heard about what happened to Gu's company when he was waiting. And also he heard many people say that Mr Gu was in a bad mood today. Naturally, he should be more careful than usual, for fear that he might lose his job if he doesn't pay attention. Daring not to stay any longer, the driver quickly starts the car. After driving a short while, he asks carefully: "Mr Gu, are you going home or not?"

Gu Yi rubs his temples and slowly opens his eyes. Out of the window he sees the city's bright and colorful silhouettes. Gu Yi's eyes reflect colorful neon and he suddenly has an idea. At this moment, he especially wants to see Yu Fei. "Go home." Getting the order, the driver steps on the accelerator to speed up, and the black car roars past under the cover of the night.

Gu Yi opens the door and it's dark inside. There is no sound and he feels nervous suddenly. Is Yu Fei gone again? Even without taking off his shoes, Gu Yi turns on the light and hurries into the room. He stops at the moment when he sees Yu Fei on the sofa. He doesn't even think about it carefully and he spontaneously and unconsciously walks to Yu Fei in a gentle manner.

The woman is lying on the sofa on her side, with her small face on the back of her hand, and a small and delicate nose is breathing gently from time to time. Gu Yi squats down as if he were bewitched. The woman sleeps soundly and doesn't notice his coming at all. Gu Yi can't help but marvel at the touch under the palm of his hand when he unconsciously caresses Yu Fei's hair. The woman's hair is soft and thin, which feels like touching pet hair.

Over the years, many women have expressed or implied their love for him. What's more, there are women who try all ways to sleep with him. Gu Yi has tried to accept it. However, he always recalls the Yu Fei of college years at the last moment. The woman with black hair and a book in her arms became a beam of white moonlight in his heart, which could never be forgotten. But now, though the woman he has loved for so many years is in front of him, Gu Yi hesitates. He looks at Yu Fei's face. Somehow, he feels strange.

Gu Yi is in a trance. He wonders that he persists is because he loves her or because the man Yu Fei married three years ago is his long-term business rival, Ko Chen. The touch under his hand is real. Gu Yi just stares at Yu Fei like that and has no other action. Maybe she has been gazed for a long time, Yu Fei suddenly inhales her nose and opens her eyes without any sign.

They look at each other silently for several seconds, and Gu Yi reacts first. He quickly takes back his hand, stands up and steps back a little, with a usual gentle smile on his face. Yu Fei just opens her eyes and doesn't wake up. After preparing for a long time, she finally comes back to herself. She sits up and raises her hand to feel the temperature on her forehead. It is not very hot and she thinks she has recovered.

Seeing this action, Gu Yi immediately becomes nervous, takes a big step forward, and hurriedly asks, "you have a fever?" Yu Fei is frightened by his nervous posture, nodding and shaking her head. Gu Yi is more worried because of her stupidity. Without saying anything, he picks up the woman from the sofa and walks towards the door.

Yu Fei only feels a whirl in front of her eyes. When her mind comes back, Gu Yi has already stood at the door with her in her arms and there is only one step away from the door. She shouts in a hurry to stop the next move of the man. "Wait! Where are you going?" Gu Yi doesn't even look at her, but says seriously, "hospital." On hearing that, Yu Fei immediately struggles. She doesn't know how many times she has gone to the hospital in such a short time, which makes her feel sick when she smells the disinfectant. "Let me down, I'm fine!" Yu Fei's struggle makes Gu Yi hold her tighter in a hurry. If she falls down accidentally, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Be obedient," Gu Yi tries to soothe Yu Fei with a soft voice. "You are pregnant now. A fever is not a small case. You must go to hospital. What can you do in case it affects the baby?" Realizing that Gu Yi is really making a fuss, Yu Fei hurriedly explains: "I was sick a little during the day, but now I'm completely OK. If you don't believe me, just test my temperature, I'm really fine." Yu Fei wants to hold Gu Yi's hand and puts it on her forehead. However, the man is holding her so she can't draw out a hand at all.

At last, Gu Yi still can not resist Yu Fei's repeated explanations, so he has to make a concession and promises not to go to the hospital first, but he needs to take a thermometer to take a test and makes sure she is healthy. If not, she has to go to the hospital.

Chapter 54: New Hatred

Proofread by Peter Gong

Maybe it is the afternoon sleep that works. Yu Fei's body temperature really becomes normal. So, Gu Yi no longer forces her to go to hospital. But he also cooks a large pot of ginger soup for her. Yu Fei fully drinks two big bowls and burps in a loud voice.

She feels warm in her stomach, and her face blushes. Yu Fei raises her hand unconsciously to rub her face. When she turns her face to Gu Yi, she finds out that Gu Yi looks at her with a fascinated look. Her face seems to be on fire which instantly becomes redder.

Yu Fei looks away unnaturally, and deliberately diverts the topic. She asks Gu Yi if he has eaten dinner already. Gu Yi says no. Hearing the answer she just wants, Yu Fei breathes a sigh of relief and throws down a sentence "I'll cook something for you." and runs flying into the kitchen.

Gu Yi laughs at the back of Yu Fei who flees in a hurry. Although she has graduated for so many years and she is almost a mother, her mentality is the same as she had in the college. She is still so innocent and sweet.

Gu Yi doesn't stay in the good mood long enough when he receives the information from the planning manager, saying that the one who leaked the secrets has been found.

Although he said something serious today, Gu Yi doesn't think they could find the leaker in just one day. So, when he receives this text message, he is really surprised.

He is really interested in this message. When he swipes down and sees the name which is reported to him by the manager, Gu Yi is stunned for a second, then reveals an unknown smile. Miaoxin Lin, Gu Yi's assistant.

It is not that the manager puts the shit bowl on Assistant Lin's head for no reasons. Several photos are attached to the message. All of them are photos of Assistant Lin's meeting with Ko's people secretly. Gu Yi knows the man in the photo. He is an executive in Ko's Planning Department.

Gu Yi swipes his finger back and forth on the screen, looking at all these photos carefully. In each of these photos, Assistant Lin was dressed differently, which means these were not shot in one day. Things gradually become more interesting. Gu Yi has doubted almost everyone before except Miaoxin Lin.

He snorts, forwards all these messages to Miaoxin Lin, and then pushes the shutdown button. He decides to give a night for her to come up with a reasonable explanation which can convince him.

Even if there are those photos as evidence now, Gu Yi is still suspicious. Not to mention anything else, it's worth investigating that where those photos came from. Ko Chen is the one behind the person who leaked the secret. Gu Yi thinks Ko Chen won't let his men leave such a big handle.

Yu Fei comes to him with her hands holding a bowl of noodles. Gu Yi stands towards the window with his hands on his back. Although they are standing at a distance, Yu Fei still feels that there is a strong chill coming out from the man. This feeling is so unfamiliar. From college to now, Yu Fei always feels Gu Yi is like the sun in March. As long as she is with him, she feels warm. It is not like that now. She feels as if she's in a world of ice and snow.

Yu Fei puts the bowl on the table. Gu Yi hears the sound, immediately comes back to his mind and turns around. The chill from him disappears immediately.

Yu Fei looks at him for a moment in a daze. Her mind wonders for a while. She somehow has an unreal feeling.

After she watches Gu Yi finish eating the noodles, Yu Fei is still not able to get over that unreal feeling. When she returns to her mind, Gu Yi asks her seriously which movie she wants to watch.

"Ah?" Yu Fei doesn't catch what he said, so she asks subconsciously. Gu Yi is not pissed. He repeats the word with a good temper.

In the end, they pick an old comedy movie. It isn't the first time Yu Fei has watched it, but she is still amused by the characters in it, and soon leaves her doubts behind.

Gu Yi doesn't pay attention to the movie the whole time. In fact, he has been glancing at Yu Fei beside him. And he clearly sees the woman's every twinkle and smile. His heart beats again and again and he hears the beat clearly. Gu Yi knows how he feels about Yu Fei. He loves her even if she is pregnant with Ko Chen's child.

The ending song plays and the movie is over. Yu Fei feels she'd like to see more. Gu Yi suddenly leans close to her. Saying nothing, he immediately grabs her hands. The man's hands are very large and warm.

Frightened by his enthusiasm, Yu Fei wants to step back. But his strength is much stronger than hers. She could not move at all.

"what are you up to?"

Although this is not the first time Gu Yi has done this, Yu Fei feels particularly scared this time, because before she always thought that Gu Yi was a modest gentleman. As long as she is unwilling, he would not force her. But after they have spent some time together, she knows it's not the case. The man sometimes acts like a stranger to her.

A man and a woman stay in the same room. If Gu Yi really wants to do something to her, Yu Fei can't even escape.

Compared with Yu Fei's panic, Gu Yi looks much calmer. In order to watch the movie, all the lights in the living room are turned off. Only the big screen emits a little light. There seems to be ambiguous light in his eyes. Yu Fei can't see clearly and doesn't want to see clearly.

"Let me go." Yu Fei calms down and her voice cools down.

Gu Yi stares directly at her, showing no sign of letting go. An expressionless smile suddenly appears on his poker face. He comes nearer to Yu Fei and says, " What If I don't ?"

The man is very close to her. The breath of every word spoken hits her face, which makes her itchy.

Yu Fei can't figure out what Gu Yi really means. She simply stops talking, and looks at him with a dark face. After being stared at by Yu Fei for a while, Gu Yi takes the lead to surrender.

He lets go of Yu Fei, raises his hands to surrender, and smiles bitterly: "I'm just kidding. Why so serious?"

Yu Fei is still serious. After she sees the smile on Gu Yi's face disappears, she stands up and says slowly: "Gu Yi, we have known each other for so many years. What Kind of joke can be made and what kind can't, I think you should have known it better than me. "

Having said that, Yu Fei turns directly to the room without looking at Gu Yi again.

Actually, she already reminded the man when they were at the top of the mountain last time that they could only be friends. It is absolutely impossible if he wants to go further. She understands this in her heart, and she thought Gu Yi knew it as she did.

Gu Yi is left in the living room. The ending song in the big screen has already come to an end. The movie stops with the last picture in the screen. The clear and extinguishing light is on Gu Yi's side face and his fists which are held tightly. The expression on his face gradually becomes ruthless. He punches the sofa because he is unwilling to accept it. He is just as good as Ko Chen. Why does Yu Fei only love Ko Chen and can't accept anyone else.

Gu Yi's heart is full of unwillingness. Plus, his business is taken over by Ko Chen. The new hatred and the old hatred superimpose together. He now hates Ko Chen to the core.

Ko Chen, just wait and see!

Chapter 55: Stay

roofread by Peter Gong

Gu Yi has been in the living room and doesn't go back to his room until midnight. Carefully checking the living room, Yu Fei who went to her room early actually doesn't sleep and relax until hearing that Gu Yi closes the door and goes into his

room.

Before falling asleep, in a daze she has a consideration that moving out from Gu Yi's house tomorrow is a must for it's not good to live in an unmarried man's house when the divorce agreement hasn't been signed, although Ko Chen is determined to divorce her. What's more, it turns out that going after her is Gu Yi's purpose for he has shown it for so many times and she has to face the trouble and deceiving herself that they are just friends doesn't work any more.

Yu Fei and Gu Yi think likewise, but what he ponders is that he will try every means to make Yu Fei stay, because only by this way can he has a part in her heart as fast as possible since accompanying her one or two days cannot be equaled with her attachment to Ko Chen accumulated in three years when Yu Fei has been with him days and nights. Different plans take shapes in the east and west bedrooms.

An interesting play is going on in Ko House, where Ko Chen is tormented with headache and hard to open his eyes when seeing that Yu Fei slips into his room again, especially scantily clad.

"How did you get in?" Forcing himself to control his temper, Ko Chen takes a deep breath and asks her word by word. But his attitude doesn't influence Yu Yu who is approaching him in a charming manner, readying to stick to Ko Chen. She even pinches her voice, "Chen, please don't be so fierce." Then, she tries to attract him by winking as well as squeezing her cleavage.

Unexpectedly, Ko Chen doesn't even take a look. Grabbing the quilt in the bed, he throws it to Yu Yu to cover her scantily clad body. Stunned by his action, she pops her head out of the quilt discontentedly. When she is about to throw the quilt away, Ko Chen warns her with a cold face, "If you don't want to be thrown out again, behave yourself."

She is frozen by his words, rolling her eyes, and she finally decides to stop. Unlike last time when she took the risk herself, this time her mother knows, too, and if she is thrown out in dejection like last time, her lie will be caught. Her flesh creeps when she imagines Wang Feng's collapse after knowing the truth.

Yu Yu grasps the quilt with all her thoughts shown on her heavily powdered face. Lookingat the woman in front, he sometimes feels strange that why such a stupid woman has the confidence to frame others.

"Chen," Scared by his stare without a word, she can't help asking him, "Do you mean that I can stay here tonight?" Although she asks carefully, her excitement is palpable, because staying on the master bedroom of Ko House means her status is confirmed in this house.

Pointing at the sofa, without any tenderness he says in a cold voice, "You can stay, but you can only sleep there." Seeing it is a sofa when following his pointing, she forces an affected sweet smile immediately after a flash of unwillingness and annoyance on her face.

Although it seems that Ko Chen doesn't look at her, all her changes of expression have been noticed by him secretly. As if knowing nothing, he repeats with an air of non-negotiation, "Sleep on the sofa, or get out of here." She grinds her teeth and says "OK" with an unchanged smile, getting up from the floor, she lies down on the sofa with the quilt.

Ko Chen asks Uncle Zhang to find someone to change all the bedclothes, for thinking Yu Yu was once there, he has no willingness of sleeping on it. Although her face cannot be seen as she lies facing the sofa, servants who come in and out know it is Yu Yu when seeing her shadow.

Although Yu Yu stays in the master room, sleeping on the sofa embarrasses her, and she buries her head in the quilt like an ostrich avoiding the reality. After the bedclothes are changed, there stays only Uncle Zhang who later leaves with a few casual words, not referring to Ko Chen's illness or the company since Yu Yu is here.

With lights off, the room sinks into darkness which takes Yu Fei a few seconds to adapt herself to with her eyes open. Patterns on the sofa are identified in the moonlight. There comes a special faint scent of Ko Chen from the quilt, and smelling of it, Yu Yu who thought she would stay awake on the sofa falls asleep faster than usual.

Hearing a faint steady breath and noticing that she doesn't move in the last half an hour, he is sure that she falls asleep. Sitting up from the bed, Ko Chen checks the message that "CAT" sent, "SENT." Their conversations are always concise for two reasons. One is the fear that others would find, and the other is that their personalities are alike, that is, acts rather than words.

Things are going as Ko Chen plans. A huge intangible trap has been carefully dug for Gu Yi, and as long as he jumps, everything is all right. As night progresses, the busy city quiets down. All the noise stops, while the quiet becomes dominant. Intrigues and schemes pop out, leaping from one dark corner to another.

Ko Chen is leafing over Yu Fei's photos before going to sleep, which has been his habit after she leaves. Each of her smile is engraved in his mind, as if by doing so Yu Fei would be always with him. His yearning for her occupies the whole night as if being installed wings. Whether he closes or opens his eyes, Yu Fei occurs to his mind. He has to admit that she has been in his life.

Chapter 56: Fish Begins to Stink at the Head.

Proofread by Peter Gong

It dawns in the morning, and the first beam of sunlight breaks through the thick clouds, shining on weeds with colorful dew. Until the dawn Ko Chen finally falls asleep. Groggily he turns over and his arm accidentally touches something, and unconsciously he pinches it. That soft and warm feeling sobers him up immediately. As soon as he opens his eyes, he sees Yu Yu sleeping soundly on his side, her eyes closed and a hand around his waist, and it seems that she is dreaming about something, and murmuring something vaguely.

Without thinking, he claps Yu Yu's hand off his body, and gets out of bed and stands besidethe bed, condescendingly looking at her who sleeps with him without being noticed. He almost loses control of his temper. "Yu Yu!" Ko Chen tries to calm himself a little and calls her, but the woman doesn't have any response. Ko Chen calls her louder again, and finally her eyes move slightly and she wakes up. Seeing Ko Chen standing there, Yu Yu smiles sheepishly at him. She is too dazed to beware the anger of Ko Chen. Her smile makes Ko Chen much angrier, and he will definitely pull her out of bed immediately if she is not a woman.

"When did you come to my bed? Do you forget my warning?" Every word he says in anger seems to be clad in ice. Yu Yu sensitively feels the strong pressure from Ko Chen, instantly sobers up and sees his dark face. She couldn't explain it and silences for a moment in embarrassment. To be honest, even she doesn't know when she came here. She clearly remembers that she was lying on the couch before she fell asleep. Why is she in his bed now? It's impossible for him to pick her up to bed as regards his attitude, and the only person who was likely to do it is herself for there is no other person here.

It's a real headache that she completely has no memory about it while Ko Chen stares at her with his killing eyes. She chooses to tell the truth, throwing up her hands, "I don't know..." Ko Chen has no interest in her explanation and interrupts her, warning her in a serious tone, "That had better be the last time, cause next time you and your mom will get out of this house." Yu Yu, scared by his threat, shuts her month immediately and dare not speak again. Ko Chen directly orders without looking at her again," Go back."

Knowing he is in a fit of rage, Yu Yu has no courage to provoke him, obediently covering her body with the quilt and trotting to her room. As soon as she enters the room, she is caught by Wang Feng who waits for her for a while, "Yu, finally you're back." Yu Yu is startled by the sound that Wang Feng makes suddenly. She jumps up. The quilt falls and her sexy underwear is exposed in the air. As if she didn't see the clothes at all, Wang Feng has been asking Yu Yu what happened, and such a caring attitude is not like mother's to daughter. Yu Yu turns her eyes and decides to hide the truth of last night.

"Mom, what are you doing in my room?" Yu Yu looks at the flattering smile on Wang Feng's face, feeling sick and her stomach can't help trembling, but fortunately she holds back. "Tell Mom, you spent all night with Ko Chen, what did you do?" Wang Feng hasn't hidden her interest in gossip. "Mom!" Even Yu Yu can't stand her mother, impatiently shouting at Wang Feng, but says nothing else.

Asking so many times and getting no answer, Wang Feng is clever enough to understand that Yu Yu doesn't want to tell her, so her face suddenly darkens, and she asks her: "What do you mean? I am your mom!" Her meaning is clear that she is her mother so she has to answer everything she asks her. Yu Yu feels headache about Wang Fong' s bothering, and she simply lies on bed and covers her head by the quilt.

Her behaviour incurs a stronger reaction from Wang Feng, but no matter what Wang Feng says, Yu Yu just turns a deaf ear to her. Wang Feng feels tired, and then gradually stops. She stares at Yu Yu with anger, then slamming the door behind and going out. Finally the world is quiet, and Yu Yu uncovers the quilt to expose her head, changing a more comfortable gesture, and plans to continue her sleep.

What Yu Yu doesn't know is Wang Feng rushes out and unexpectedly encounters Ko Chen who is ready to go to the company at the door. When she sees Ko Chen, Wang Feng's angry face immediately turns into a quite flattering smile. Just in a short time of the morning, Ko Chen has to cope with Yu Yu and her Mother one after the other. Seeing Wang Feng, he feels his veins in temple jumping, as if to suggest that things will not be smooth the whole day. Wang Feng rolls her eyes, betraying all her intention, "Dear son-in-law, last night Yu Yu..."

Before she finishes her words, Ko Chen impatiently frowns. Fish begins to stink at the head. Remembering what was heard in bug in which Wang Feng persuaded Yu Yu to seduce him, he detests her increasingly. He doesn't want to stay longer, his eyes contacting Uncle Zhang, then he puts on his sunglasses and directly walks out the door. Wang Feng talks in high spirits, but suddenly finds that Ko Chen has gone. She is stunned for half a second, then quickly reacts, regardless of the fact that Uncle Zhang is still standing next to her, swearing at Ko Chen, "I'm your mother-in-law, your elder. How dare you be so rude! Is this what your father taught you?"

Although Uncle Zhang has always been gentle and polite, he can't stand her words, and he seriously warns Wang Feng, "Ms. Wang, this is the Ko's house, please pay attention to your words. Master wants me to pass you a word: Although you and Miss Yu now live in this house, but he can let you move out at any time, please weigh and consider." Wang Feng turns pale immediately, and the rest of her words are choked in her throat and she dares not to say one word. She is afraid that those words she just said will be relaid to Ko Chen. If he really forces them to move out, she not only loses face ashamed but also a living cash cow. With her mouth closed, Wang Feng flees back to her room, which looks so funny.

Chapter 57: Dismissing

Proofread by Peter Gong In Gu's home.

Gu Yi didn't sleep well all night cause something lingered in his mind so that he got up early. Before going out, he took a look at the second room and decided to leave an apology note for Yu Fei after thinking about his behavior of last night, and then he left the house.

Actually, the moment Gu Yi opened the bedroom door, Yu Fei woke up. She waited silently until he went out, and then she sat up from the bed and washed quickly. She didn't want to stay for a more second and escaped from Gu Yi's home. Yu Fei left in a hurry and didn't see the note Gu Yi left for her. It's still early and there are few pedestrians on the road while the breakfast shop is full of people. Yu Fei is hungry and wants to eat something. However, the moment she smells greasy food, she feels nauseous and retches several times.

Daring not to eat any more, Yu Fei has to go home directly. After drinking a glass of milk, she lies down on the bed. She slept uneasily last night, but now when she comes back to her home, she feels secure and sleepy soon. She breathes lightly and sleeps soundly.

In Gu's block.

Gu Yi comes early today which makes the security guards on duty surprised and they greet: "Mr. Gu 's really early today". It's reasonable to say that no one has come to work at this time. However, Gu Yi still finds that someone has arrived at the company earlier than him, and this person is none other than Lin Miaoxin. Having turning the phone off after sending those photos last night, he hasn't turned it on, and he doesn't know what her reaction is when she sees those pictures. Hearing the sound, Lin Miaoxin raises her head and sees Gu Yi. She calmly raises a professional smile at him which is no different from usual. Gu Yi also responds with a smile. He expresses nothing on face, but he is confused. Without saying anything, he walks into the office and turns on the phone. With several messages popping out, Gu Yi ignores others, and first checks Lin Miaoxin's which is replied simply with only two words: not me, and there is no other explanation. Gu Yi looks at the screen banteringly and curls up his eyebrows. Although he didn't doubt Lin Miaoxin, he has to admit that her answer is very agreeable, simple and powerful. Lin Miaoxin is the university junior schoolmate of Gu Yi and they come from the same department. It can be said that she is the most familiar person of Gu Yi in Gu's company. Originally, Gu Yi was a little surprised to see her resume from the personnel department. However, it's a pity to be a secretary with Lin Miaoxin's ability.

His mind suddenly drifts back to several years ago. Gu Yi still remembers that he asked Lin Miaoxin, who had just joined the company, that why she chose to be an assistant among many promising positions. Lin Miaoxin's answer has impressed him until now. Lin Miaoxin, who just graduated from the university, was still a little naive, but her eyes were earnest. She only said that "this position is closest to you." Because of this, Lin Miaoxin has worked by his side for so many years. Gu Yi slumps down. If he was asked to exclude someone first who would not frame him in the company, he would choose Lin Miaoxin without thinking. But now things are developing like this. Though he believes Lin Miaoxin's words, he has to say that the trust is covered with a layer of dust, not as pure as before.

It seems that Lin Miaoxin doesn't intend to explain anything else except that. Gu Yi has been sitting in the office, looking up at the door from time to time. Actually, he has some implicit expectations that Lin Miaoxin will explain it to him. Eventually, the manager of the planning department comes first instead of Lin Miaoxin. He sits down trembling in the reception chair with the fat on his belly that hinders his movement, which makes his movement look slow.

Without any superfluous words, Gu Yi asks directly where he got those photos. From the shooting angle, those photos of Lin Miaoxin are not simple, but extremely professional, which were taken deliberately. Sweats trickling down his forehead, the manager wipes with an handkerchief and stutters, "I don't know. I went home last night and the email appeared in the mailbox..."

Before he finishes his words, a folder is thrown at his feet which interrupts him. Gu Yi stares at him apathetically, and his voice is full of disbelief: "just with these unexplained photos, you put the ill fame on Ms Lin'? I don't think you want to work here any more." The manager is so scared that he falls down on the ground and he is shaking with the fat all over his body, which makes him look like walking flesh.

Gu Yi is upset as soon as he sees him. Such a person has no need to stay. "You're fired." Gu Yi says coldly and turns away from him. The manager raises his head in disbelief, and his face is all sweaty, and he explains in a panic: "Mr. Gu, my family lives on my salary. Mr. Gu, don't fire me, please believe me, I will find out the leaker today..." Gu Yi impatiently waves his hand and doesn't listen to him at all. He says in a firm voice "I won't say it the second time. Leave now."

The manager sits on the ground with a dead heart, looking very embarrassed. Gu Yi calls the security guard to come in and drags him out. The news that the manager of the planning department was dismissed soon spreads in the department and everyone has their own plans. Now Gu's company is in such an important moment. Firing a manager, there must be another person to replace him, so the candidate becomes important. Although nobody says it on the surface, they are secretly guessing.

In the office, Gu Yi calls Lin Miaoxin over, pushes the paper with only two names to her and asks her for advice: "I want to find someone to replace Yang Ko from these two people, who do you think is more suitable?" Yang Ko, the fat planning manager who was dismissed. Lin Miaoxin doesn't say a word but stares at the two names for a long while. While Gu Yi doesn't hasten her, and waits quietly. Lin Miaoxin is always the most reassuring. He would like to know which of these two men she believes more.

"If you say qualification, it must be Wang Hui; but if you say achievement, it's Zhang Le. If you ask my opinion, I prefer Zhang Le. Although he doesn't usually say anything, he has a strong business ability. Recently, he has done a few beautiful cases. As for Wang Hui, he is too flaunting his qualification." Gu Yi curls up his lips. Lin Miaoxin's evaluation is objective, similar to what he thinks.

Drawing a circle around Zhang Le's name, Gu Yi looks at Lin Miaoxin and asks the second question: "who do you think is the leaker of this case?" Suddenly the atmosphere quiets. Gu Yi and Lin Miaoxin look at each other in silence, as if they were in a contest.

Chapter 58: Invitation

Proofread by Peter Gong

Lin Miaoxin shows a very faint smile on her face. She looks straight into Gu Yi's eyes without fear, and only asks one question.

"Mr. Gu, since you already have someone in mind, why bother asking me?" After saying this, Lin Miaoxin walks out of the office without waiting for Gu Yi to answer.

Gu Yi looks at her slim back, and suddenly realizes that she no longer has the childishness. But he doesn't know when she becomes like this.

His eyes retreat to the piece of paper in front of him. Gu Yi's eyes stay on those two names for a long while. The look in his eyes is deep, and no one can tell what he is thinking about.

This affair has not been resolved yet when the secretary sends in an invitation of a wine party.

Usually, Gu Yi does not participate in this kind of event. But this time it is special. It is sponsored by the government. Even if Gu Yi does not want to go, he should show his respect by joining in. "What time is the wine party?" Gu Yi asks when looking down at the file.

His secretary opens the invitation and reads it carefully: "Tomorrow at 5:30 pm, female companion is required to bring."

Gu Yi stops writing when he hears the word "companion". He looks up and asks, "A woman companion is required?" His secretary nods.

"Pass it to me. I want to take a look." Gu Yi reaches out and his secretary passes the invitation to him. It does clearly say that he should bring a female companion. In the past, he always took Lin Miaoxin. But this time, he thinks there is a better person to bring.

When Gu Yi calls over, Yu Fei is still asleep. She picks up the phone in a daze and hears Gu Yi's voice. Several pictures of last night flash in her brain. Yu Fei opens her eyes quickly. She is totally awake right now. "Gu Yi? What's the matter?" Yu Fei thinks he finds out that she is at home. And he calls to ask for a reason. She thinks hard about the wording when Gu Yi tells her about another thing that is totally out of her mind. "I'm going to a wine party tomorrow night, and I need to bring a female companion. Do I have the honor to invite you, Miss Yu Fei, to come with me?"

Yu Fei's first reaction is to refuse. Her marriage to Ko Chen is well-known. If she attends the party with Gu Yi, she doesn't know what others would think about the relationship among the three of them. She doesn't want it to be too complicate. As she is about to refuse, Gu Yi has already seen through her mind and says, "You and Ko Chen are going to divorce. It's just a matter of signing a paper. Why do you care about it so much? What's more, I received this invitation. It is likely that Ko Chen has already received the invitation letter. He will also bring his female companion."

Gu Yi's words are not unreasonable. Now she has nothing to do with Ko Chen. Since he is so heartless, why should she give him face?

Gu Yi's constant persuasion makes her feel that if she refuses again, she would be a bit arrogant. So she says yes.

Gu Yi's goal is achieved, and he tells her something important before hanging up with satisfaction.

"Ko Chen, what expression will be on your face when you see Yu Fei is with me?"

As soon as he thinks of that picture, Gu Yi is satisfied in his heart. The corners of his mouth rise unconsciously, and his smile couldn't stop.

Ko Chen did receive an invitation letter. When he sees the request of bringing a female companion, his head aches for two seconds. If it had been in the past, he wouldn't have to worry about this problem at all. It is a little embarrassing to participate in such activities again since he and Yu Fei are separated.

The assistant sees Ko Chen's disappointed expression. He hesitates for two seconds and asks, "Mr. Ko, do you want me to contact Miss Lan?"

The "Ms. Blue" in the assistant's words is the most popular actress at this moment. Lan Xiaoxiao is not only beautiful, but also good at acting and singing. What is even more commendable is that she has zero scandal in the entertainment industry.

Other people don't know little about the fact that Lan Xiaoxiao and Ko Hua have the same teacher. Because of this, Ko Chen secretly helps Lan Xiaoxiao by giving her a lot of resources and blocking those irrelevant news which is only made up for high popularity.

Ko Chen waves his hand with a tired look on his face: "No."

If Lan Xiaoxiao were there with him, those paparazzi would be very happy. And they would make up a lot of fake news about them. Although Ko's Company is powerful enough to suppress the news full of gimmicks, Ko Chen still thinks they have no need to do that.

Waving the assistant away, Ko Chen takes out his cell phone and dials a number.

When Ko Chen calls over, Yu Yu just woke up. She is sitting on the bed, playing a game. It is the latest mobile game. She is hitting a critical moment when the call interrupts her. She swears. But when she figures out it is Ko Chen who calls, the expression on her face changes immediately.

It's Ko Chen's call! This is the first time Ko Chen has called her with his private number!

Yu Yu is ecstatic. She holds down her beating heart and barely calms herself down. She presses the yes button, and softens her voice: "Hey, you."

Ko Chen's scalp is numb for a while when he hears the affected voice. He bears it because he thinks about tomorrow. He tells her why he calls her.

Yu Yu is so excited when she hears that he is going to take her to the party. She is so surprised that she cannot even speak. The words she says are a lot of yes.

Ko Chen doesn't want to talk much with her. After hearing her yes, he hangs up the phone.

Back from the call interface to the game interface, Yu Yu sees that a big failure on the screen is flashing. But it can't affect Yu Yu's good mood at all.

She quits the game, jumps out of bed and opens the closet, ready to pick the best-looking dress. She wants to stand out when she is with Ko Chen tomorrow.

Yu Yu looks at every dress in her wardrobe. She feels that none of them is eye-catching. She thinks about it, calls Wang Feng and tells her the good news.

Wang Feng went through the incident this morning and is in a bad mood. So, she runs out to play Mahjong. She does not expect to hear such good news on the phone. She is so excited that she quits playing Mahjong immediately. "Of course, I'm going to buy you some new clothes! Go, Mom will go with you!"

Wang Feng hangs up the phone and tries to leave. The other three ladies are unwilling. "Mrs. Yu, it's not good that you want to run after losing the game? It's a bit fake. "

"Who has the mood to act with you!" Wang Feng looks at them in disdain, almost looking down on them with her nostrils. "My daughter is going to be Ko's younger mistress soon. I don't give a shit to this amount of money?" After saying that, she takes out a pile of cash from the bag and throws it on the table without counting, and she leaves without looking back.

When Yu Yu takes a taxi to the gate of the mall, Wang Feng is already waiting for her. When she sees Yu Yu, she comes to her and gives a big smile: "It is indeed my daughter, and I know that Ko Chen can't absolutely flee away from you. He can't get out of your palms! "

Chapter 59: The Wine Party

Proofread by Peter Gong

In the whole afternoon, Wang Feng and Yu Yu are shopping in the mall. They buy a new spring dress and jewels for tomorrow's wine party, and then return to Ko House with satisfaction after purchasing a lot of stuffs. At the gate they meet Ko Chen who just comes home from work. Due to tomorrow's wine party, he canceled tonight's dinner, thus going home earlier. Glancing at their bags in hands, he doesn't say anything.

At the sight of his expression, the conversation in the morning occurs to Wang Feng again. She thinks he will blame them for lavishing money, as after enjoying swiping cards, she didn't even look at the prices and bought stuffs she liked immediately in their later shopping, so did Yu Yu. As a result, she automatically hides the bags behind her back, which, however, is observed by Ko Chen. Sneering in his mind but not expressing it on his face, he says to Uncle Zhang, "Let bodyguards bring these to the room. "

Hearing his words, Wang Feng is relaxed. She takes over the bags in Yu Yu's hands with an ingratiating smile, saying "No, no, thanks. I can take them back by myself. You two talk." Then she throws a wink at Yu Yu and rushes into the room. Yu Yu knows what her mother is thinking about, that is, trying to create an opportunity for them to cultivate feelings. However, his distant expression doesn't show any hint of flirting state.

When Yu Yu is considering how to leave, Ko Chen starts to talk unexpectedly, "Will you sleep in my room tonight?" Stunned by his invitation, she is lost in words. Until Ko Chen is about to leave without patience does Yu Yu come to herself. She drags his arm in a hurry, "Wait, well, yes!" She looks back to see his stare and her shadow is reflected in his deep eyes where Yu Yu is gradually drowned unconsciously.

Yu Yu sleeps on the sofa as yesterday, but this time staying away his bed is emphasized by Ko Chen again and again. He even threatens her, "If you act like last night again, I will definitely call the bodyguard to throw you out right from the second floor." Were it said by others, Yu Yu would feel it childish, but it is said by Ko Chen, so the only thing she can do is nod with fear for she knows he is serious.

Nonetheless, her scared look is deliberately made, because she is clear that if only she can live in his room, it doesn't matter that she sleeps on a sofa, for no one else would know it. Furthermore, she will get Ko Chen sooner or later as long as a man and a woman stay in one single room.

It is a silent night.

Time flies to a new day's afternoon. Gu Yi goes to Yu Fei's home to pick up her two hours earlier. He was a little displeased when he found Yu Fei had been gone yesterday although he had predicted it. His unpleasantness doesn't diminish when he rings the door bell of her house. But when the door is opened and Yu Fei appears in front of him, his unpleasantness vanishes.

Yu Fei wears a white dress. Her breasts are vaguely revealed under the cover of lace, her exposed shanks look more slender under the wide hem, and the outline of her waist is drawn perfectly by the fitting dress, which shows no hint that she is a mother-to-be.

Her dress is obviously a little conservative but he feels it sexy in conservation. He is stunned at the door and has a strong desire to hold her into his arms. His reaction confuses Yu Fei, and she guesses it's because her dress doesn't look good, thus she looks down with a hesitation, saying carefully, "Truly, the dress isn't popular these days. Well, should I change it?"

Then she is about to go back to change clothes, but is dragged by Gu Yi, who stares at her and whose eyes are filled with affection. His stare slightly embarrasses Yu Fei and colors her cheeks. Yu Fei seldom puts on makeup since she is pregnant, but this time is a special circumstance, so she has made up lightly. Her bright eyes seem to be brighter, and her face is so fair that she seems like a fairy coming down to the earth. There are no other words but "beautiful" in Gu Yi's mind, he praises, "Really beautiful, really really!" His sincere praise makes her face rosier.

Along the road, Gu Yi's eyes are always fixed on Yu Fei's face unwittingly. Yu Fei observes it but has to pretend not to notice it. His feelings are so obvious that she can't respond to them, so she chooses to escape them like an ostrich, pretending to look outside.

People's eyes are fixed on them immediately when they walk into the hall with their arms intertwined. Gu Yi also wears a white suit today. When standing together, they look like diamonds that are so shining that no one is able to open their eyes.

Many people recognize Yu Fei and start to whisper, however, their looks are noticed by Yu Fei sensitively. Smile is frozen on her face, and then her arms are also frozen. Gu Yi feels her frozen gesture. Looking back and seeing her pale face, he instantly knows what's going on and covers her ear, gently saying, "Don't listen to them, just follow me."

His gentleness helps her to regain her confidence slightly and relax her upset mind. Yu Fei nods with a smile and then they walk into the hall formally. These days, Gu Company develops pretty well, so there are many people greeting Gu Yi, and Yu Fei has to keep smiling, too. Her facial muscles are sore due to her constant smiling, but she doesn't knead them for fear that her make-up would be ruined, and just lowers her head and opens her mouth for a while.

Just at this time, the crowd bursts into shouts. She looks up, seeing everyone looking at the gate, and she follows their sight, only to be frozen in place: it is Yu Yu and Ko Chen standing at the gate with her hand around his arm. Yu Yu wears a sexy black dress. Her beautiful legs are shown perfectly in high-split style, her white skin is snow-like in black dress, and her appearance is like a black swan ready to soar into the sky. Ko Chen wears a black suit, probably to match her. His cold character is more distinct when he is in black, as if he could freeze a man with just a look.

It is the first time for Yu Yu to attend this kind of upper-class wine party. Standing beside Ko Chen, she enjoys every look thrown at her with a delightful mind and unconscious smile. Just at this time, she sees the two in white while the two notice Ko Chen and her, too. They are distinct in colors, that is, black and white, as if making a contrast deliberately.

"Chen," With a big smile, Yu Yu gently drags Ko Chen's sleeve. He doesn't have much expression, but leans over tenderly to put his ear close to her. Their intimate gesture causes another stir.

Yu Fei hears someone whispering behind her, "I can't imagine Boss Ko would have such tenderness. I thought he doesn't like woman as he always puts on his poker face. Now it turns out that he just didn't meet the right person before." "Please mind your words, Boss Ko's wife is beside Boss Gu. She will hear it." With a totally different tone from her words, another woman says, apparently deliberately to Yu Fei as if to watch an interesting play. Yu Fei's palms turn cold. She just feels the light is so bright that she feels desperate to escape from here.

Chapter 60: Deceive Herself

Proofread by Peter Gong

Sensing the stiffness of the woman next to him, Gu Yi turns his head to look. Yu Fei can't stay calm anymore. Her eyes fix on Ko Chen and Yu Yu, and she bites her lower lip so tightly that her lower lip turns white. Gu Yi takes down Yu Fei's hand which holds him. In her doubtful eyes, his fingers intertwine with hers. He tries to tell her in this silent movement that even if everyone is against her he will stand on her side with no doubt. Yu Fei is a little moved and her lips curl up to show a forced smile. She draws back her eyesight that stays on Ko Chen all the time, turning around to avoid seeing them, "Let's go."

Yu Fei has said so and of course Gu Yi will not refuse. They go inside the venue with hand in hand. In fact, Ko Chen has been paying attention to Yu Fei in secret. She is like a fairy and Ko Chen can't help but be attracted. The distance between Yu Fei and him is only a few steps, but it's like a huge gap that can't be crossed. Seeing Gu Yi holding Yu Fei's hand, walking away step by step, Ko Chen's eyes turn colder gradually, which seems to freeze people. Yu Yu notices that Ko Chen seems to be a little different. Looking at him with wonder, she unexpectedly meets his scaring look, which makes her heart suddenly pound. Following his eyes, she finds it is Yu Fei.

Yu Yu understands immediately. Her eyes become icy with a hostile flash. Ko Chen always shifts attitude to her, which arouses Yu Yu's suspicion. Especially one time she heard he murmured Yu Fei's name when he got drunk, and this thing has been a thorn in her heart. Although she refuses to believe that, she has to admit that Ko Chen is most unlikely to forget Yu Fei. Thinking of that, she gnashes her teeth in anger and hatred. Yu Fei, just wait, Ko Chen will be mine!

Ko Chen takes Yu Yu into the center of the venue. Immediately there are a number of industry bosses who come around them with flattered smiles. Although Ko Chen is young, he has high position in business----he is the leader of this area. So if they have the chance to cooperate with Ko Chen, they will no longer have to worry their business interest. Such occasions Ko Chen has been through so many times since he was little boy, so he deals with these with efficiency. He holds a glass of wine and treats everyone politely but alienated, which neither shows intimacy nor embarrasses them.

"Mr. Ko, how are you? We haven't seen for a while." A greasy male voice comes from behind. Ko Chen slightly frowns, but when he turns his face has returned to its normal state, as if he never had that disgusted expression. This man is also a boss of an established company. He is not tall, bold, with a large belly, looking very experienced. Ko Chen doesn't have too much contact with him, but he has heard of his romantic affairs. This man is amorous, with a weak wife. It is said that he has slept with the women he can lay his hands on in the entertainment circle.

Without knowing his purpose, Ko Chen stares at him without speaking. The man starts looking at Yu Yu up and down, and his eyes stay at Yu Yu's chest and thighs for several seconds lustfully, almost slobbering. Yu Yu feels offended, but considering Ko Chen is still beside her, she tries to stay calm and moves closer to Ko Chen without being noticed.

Maybe sensing the hostility of Yu Yu, the man reluctantly withdraws his eyes and looks at Ko Chen again. Meanwhile his hands around the female companion unconsciously move down, then stops in her buttock and pinches, even without any effort to cover his intention in public. Ko Chen sees it clearly, thinking that this man is really a dirty old man as rumors go, as a result, he detests this man more and has no mood to speak to him. However, this boss Wang has no intention to leave, rubbing his girl's waist and asking "I've heard that Mr. Ko has won some projects recently, what an outstanding young entrepreneur. The young men like you are much more talented than us"

Ko Chen slightly curls up his lips, responding perfunctorily. But Mr. Wang doesn't care Ko Chen's indifferent attitude, still talking to himself with a hand continuing to touch his companion's body and glancing at Yu Yu occasionally. Yu Yu has no way to avoid and feels disgusted. Ko Chen notices his behavior, but he wants to trick Yu Yu, so just pretending not to see, while observing secretly Yu Yu's reaction.

Seeing that Yu Yu is on the verge of outbreak, Ko Chen thinks it's time to stop, interrupting Mr. Wang who is non-stop speaking, "Sorry, there are several partners waiting for me, maybe we can talk next time." Without waiting for his answering, Ko Chen has turned around and strides away with extremely arrogance. When Ko Chen leaves, Wang's expression immediately changes, and the smile disappears completely. He spits with an oblique glance. "Just a silver-spooned kids, how dare you!"" But his attitude changes immediately as soon as his companion comforts him, and flirts with him in public. People around them pretend not to see, but they disdain them in heart.

Yu Yu wears high-heeled shoes tonight, so it's difficult to follow the steps of Ko Chen. She whispers to him, "Chen, slow down, I can't keep up with you." Ko Chen turns a deaf ear to her words and doesn't slow his pace a little. Yu Yu feels hurt by his apathy, biting the lower lip with a little anger. Things are normal when they left home, but he changes as soon as he sees Yu Fei... Yu Yu curls up her lips and becomes more hostile to Yu Fei.

On the other side, Gu Yi and Yu Fei walk into the venue. All kinds of perfume mixed with the smell of food makes Yu Fei feel a wave of nausea. Gu Yi is talking with others happily, and Yu Fei doesn't want to interrupt them, so she quietly stands and walks to the balcony. Closing the door on the balcony, and all the sound in the venue immediately fading away, Yu Fei takes a deep breath of fresh air, feeling better, then she stands on the balcony looking at the distance in a daze. This hidden position with a large pot of green plants can block others' eyes. Yu Fei turns her head to see inside. Gu Yi is still talking to others without noticing her absent.

This is not Yu Fei's first time to attend this kind of banquet, but it is the first time she is least willing to attend, especially at the moment she saw Ko Chen, her idea is further confirmed. If she knows that she will encounter Ko Chen in this kind of situation, she will definitely refuse Gu Yi. She smiles bitterly, looking down at her belly, and saying to herself, "Yu Fei, why are you trying to deceive yourself? How can he not be invited to this kind of party? The reason you promised Gu Yi is that you want to see him again. You can't forget him ..." Her scattered hair is blown by colder wind of the night.
