Ch. 81..90
Chapter 81: Accompany Him to the Company Gu Shimo had only wanted to tease Ye Qingwan and kiss her for a while before letting her sleep.
Who knew that after a moment of stiffness, she would respond tentatively.
He couldn’t stand any of her teasing and taking the initiative.
In the end, he still loved her fiercely.
That night, she had been sleeping soundly on his arm.
At dawn, Gu Shimo woke up. Ye Qingwan was looking at him.
Their eyes met, and there was still a coldness in her eyes that she had not had time to hide.
He was stunned for a second.
His gaze fell on the hickey on her neck and automatically blocked the coldness in her eyes.
His thin lips curled up and he said happily,” Wanwan, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
Ye Qingwan replied hesitantly and was about to sit up.
Gu Shimo grabbed her slender waist and forced her back into his arms.
“What are you doing up so early?”
The man’s voice rang beside her ears.
Ye Qingwan turned to meet his deep eyes and said lightly,” To work.””
“Work?”
Gu Shimo frowned, his face full of disapproval.
“Yes.”
“Rest at home for a few days and go to work after you recover.”
“But it’s so boring at home. I’ve already slept for a day yesterday. If I sleep for another day today, I’ll die of depression.”
“Don’t you have Zixi? You can…”
“You just said that I’m sick and can’t go to work, and now you want me to stay at home to take care of the child?”Ye Qingwan’s face turned cold.
Gu Shimo did not expect her to think this way. What he meant was to get Zixi to talk to her.
He smiled.” I’m not asking you to take care of the child. Why don’t you come to the office with me? You don’t have to do anything and just play in my office.””
“Is it convenient for me to go to your company?”
“It’s convenient.”
Seeing that she did not reject him, Gu Shimo’s handsome brows relaxed a little.
“Then get up. After breakfast, come with me to the company, but you can’t work. You have to rest until you’re well before you can work.”
“..”
Ye Qingwan didn’t agree or refuse.
Gu Shimo said what she wanted to say. She could not be too enthusiastic, or he would suspect her.
After breakfast, Gu Shimo let Ye Qingwan take her medicine before driving her to the company.
Ye Qingwan’s phone rang as soon as she reached the office.
She pulled out her small hand from his palm and took out her phone. It was Gu Ziyang who called.
Gu Shimo narrowed his long and narrow eyes and walked towards his desk.
Ye Qingwan’s voice came from behind him.” Hello, Brother Ziyang.””
Wanwan, are you home?”
“No, what’s the matter, Brother Ziyang?”
“I heard that you had a cold and a fever, so I wanted to come and see you. You’re still going to work when you’re sick?”
Gu Ziyang’s gentle voice was filled with concern.
Ye Qingwan looked up at Gu Shimo, who was a few meters away.
He had already walked to the back of the desk. Their eyes met, and his gaze was as deep as a lake.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and said truthfully,”I didn’t go to work. I came to his company with Brother Shi Mo.””
After saying this.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Ye Ziyang’s voice sounded again, mixed with disappointment.” I see. My brother is so worried about you that he has to bring you to work.””
“Yes, Brother Shi Mo is very good to me.”
“Then, when you’re better, come home with my brother for a meal. I’ve been back for so long, but we haven’t had a good gathering.”
Last time, he had asked them to go back for dinner, but things had changed at the last minute.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and thought of what Bai Shanshan had said the other day. Zhao Qinlan still had medicine in her hands.
Hence, he replied,” Alright.”
Gu Ziyang said a few more words of concern before hanging up reluctantly.
“Why is Ziyang looking for you?”
Gu Shimo asked gently as Ye Qingwan walked to the desk.
His eyes were locked on her, never moving away.
Ye Qingwan smiled and said calmly,” Brother Ziyang heard that I was sick and wanted to visit me at home. He even asked us to go back for dinner.”
“In the future, you can just call him Ziyang.”
“Why?”
Ye Qingwan didn’t understand.
Gu Ziyang was older than her, and she had always called him that.
Chapter 82: She Had Already Been His Wife Behind the desk.
Gu Shimo said softly,” After we get married, Ziyang will still call you sister-in-law.”
“We’ll talk about the future later.”
Her small face changed slightly as she retorted.
“Come here.”
He frowned slightly, dissatisfied with her words.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and stared into his deep eyes.
Wanwan, come here.”
Ye Qingwan walked over when he called her a second time.
As soon as she reached him, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his lap. Another warm palm wrapped around her waist.
The thin fabric could not block his warmth from passing to her.
The warmth turned into an ambiguous factor that quickly grew in the air.
The man’s gentle words fell into her ears.” Wanwan, in my heart, you’re already my wife. You should know that I didn’t cancel the wedding with Bai Shanshan because of your requests. Don’t think about secretly leaving me one day.”
He knew why Ye Qingwan had followed him to the company.
She had a secret with Bai Shanshan and didn’t want him to know.
Ye Qingwan’s body was a little stiff. She was not used to such an ambiguous position.
Even though they had done all sorts of intimate things, they were in his office. She was not as thick-skinned as him.
“I didn’t think about anything.”
Against her conscience, she said,” It’s just that no one knows what will happen tomorrow. I’m used to calling him Brother Ziyang.”
“Don’t get too close to Ziyang.”
He turned her small face and met her gaze.
Their auras intertwined.
His gaze fell on her lips, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. He could not help but lower his head and kiss her lips.
“Brother…”
Ye Qingwan said softly.
Her head was held by the man’s large palm, and he gently and lovingly conquered her…Until his phone suddenly rang.
The flirtatious scene behind the desk was interrupted.
He left her lips, which were getting more and more tender from the kiss. His hand was still on her waist, and he picked up the phone on the table to answer the call.
It was Zuo Zhi.
Ye Qingwan gave up the idea of leaving.
She continued to sit on his lap and be held in his arms.
They were like lovers who loved each other deeply.
“What is it?”
Gu Shimo picked up the phone, his cold voice spilling out of his thin lips.
Zuo Zhi’s voice could be heard.” Master, Madam called the capital.”
“Which family in the capital?”
Gu Shimo repeated his words.
” Mm.” Zuo Zhi replied on the other end of the phone.” She might be looking for someone to get Zhao Zhongtong out. Master, it’s the Tang family in Beijing. It seems that this is the first time Madam has contacted them. She wants to look for the head of the Tang family.””
“Continue to pay attention.”
“Yes.”
Someone knocked on the door and Gu Shimo let go. Ye Qingwan got up and walked out of the office table to sit down on the sofa.
The person who came in was the secretary.
She told Gu Shimo about today’s schedule.
He was meeting clients in the morning and had a lunch meeting. In the evening, he had a banquet.
After the secretary left, Gu Shimo asked Ye Qingwan if she was going to meet the client with him or if she was waiting for him in the office.
Ye Qingwan chose to wait for him in the office.
“If you’re sleepy, go to the lounge in the inner room to sleep.”
After pouring her some water, Gu Shimo left the office and went to the meeting room to meet the client.
After he left.
Ye Qingwan was nestled on the sofa in his office, working on her phone.
Her eyes hurt from looking at her phone for a long time. In addition, she had taken her medicine and was feeling dizzy.
An hour later.
Ye Qingwan put down her cell phone and started doing eye exercises.
There was a message on his phone.
Ye Qingwan opened her WeChat. It was from Yang Feng.
[Wanwan, I’m returning to the country on the 1st. I’m going back to the capital first before going to South City to look for you.]
The Imperial Capital.
It reminded Ye Qingwan of what Zuo Zhi had said on the phone.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Yang Feng was the young master of the Yang Family, one of the Ten Great Families in the Imperial Capital.
The kind that had a very close relationship with the Tang family.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked,”You’re returning to inherit the family business. Aren’t you going back?”]
[You guessed right. Besides, I might stay in South City for a while.]
After Yang Feng’s text, he sent an emoticon.
[South City? What if you come to South City to develop your business?]
Yang Feng had said before that his dream was not to inherit the family business.
[It’s a private matter. I’ll tell you when I reach South City.]
Chapter 83: Haven’t You Always Disliked Me for Not Being Clean? In the afternoon, Gu Shimo dragged Ye Qingwan to dinner.
This was his first time bringing a female companion, and she was not even his fiancee.
Although the customer was a little shocked, he did not inquire too much.
During the meal, Gu Shimo took meticulous care of Ye Qingwan. The others looked on and only smiled ambiguously.
After dinner, Gu Shimo returned to the company and asked Ye Qingwan,” Be my date tonight, okay?”
“It’s more appropriate for you to bring Bai Shanshan on such an occasion.”
Ye Qingwan didn’t want to appear in public with him.
She was also invited to the banquet tonight. Bai Shanshan would definitely be there.
Gu Shimo’s expression darkened.” I only want to bring you along.”
“Big brother.”
She stood behind the door and looked at him warily. She raised her hand to move his hand away from her cheek.
The warmth seeped into her skin, causing her heart to beat uncontrollably.
“Promise me that you will be my female companion tonight.”
He moved closer, and his mature breath landed on her ear. If he moved a little closer, his lips would be able to kiss her skin.
“I have a recording of Bai Shanshan sleeping with another man. As long as you’re my date tonight, I’ll give it to you.””
“..”
Ye Qingwan widened her eyes.
Thinking of how he had asked Zuo Zhi to monitor Bai Shanshan, her shock instantly disappeared.
“Wanwan, I said I would prove my innocence. Although I lost my mind five years ago, I’m sure I didn’t sleep with two women.”
“So?”
She licked her lips, her mouth dry.
This man was too good at flirting.
He was so close to her that he took away all her air. All she could smell was his scent.
“So…”
He curled his lips.
He leaned over and kissed her gently.
It was ticklish.
He hooked.
“That night, I only wanted you alone. Other than that night, I never touched Bai Shanshan. Didn’t you always think that I was unclean? I can tell you now with certainty that I am very clean.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart was in a mess.
His words seemed to be a confession.
“Wanwan, I know you still have a lot of misunderstandings about me, so I’ll prove it to you.”
“You…”
She wanted to say,” Can you speak properly?”
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, he took the opportunity to squeeze in, kiss, and plunder.
” Promise me?
He stared at her with a burning gaze while she exhaled.
A large hand unbuttoned her shirt, acting like a hooligan.
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan grabbed his hand.” This is the office. Let go first.””
“Yes.”
Gu Shimo locked the door and bent down to carry her to the resting room.
—-
After the rain.
Ye Qingwan slept on the bed in the resting room.
Gu Shimo was working outside.
She woke up at four in the afternoon.
Ye Qingwan listened to the secretary talking to Gu Shimo outside, but she did not go out.
He opened WeChat.
He found Bai Shanshan’s profile picture and sent her a message.]
When Bai Shanshan received the news, she was about to go to the Gu family to look for Zhao Qinlan.
She wanted to attend the banquet with Gu Shimo.
However, when she called Gu Shimo, he did not pick up.
Bai Shanshan could only start from Zhao Qinlan. Before she left, she received a message from Ye Qingwan.
She gritted her teeth and replied,[Got it.]]
An hour later.
Bai Shanshan’s car stopped outside the Gu residence. After waiting for more than ten minutes, she saw Gu Qinlan walking over and quickly got out of the car.
She went forward and greeted her warmly,” Auntie, you look so beautiful today.”
Gu Qinlan had been in a bad mood for the past two days because of Zhao Zhongtong’s matter, so she did not rest well.
Although she knew that she wasn’t in a good state, she still smiled happily when she was praised.” Shanshan, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there anything you need?”
Chapter 84: Let Him Go to Hell Early Bai Shanshan held Zhao Qinlan’s hand and said,”Auntie, I’m going to a banquet tonight. Shi Mo will be there too, but I’ve been calling him, but he hasn’t picked up.””
“I see.”
Zhao Qinlan was furious at the mention of Gu Shimo.
Bai Shanshan nodded.”Auntie, if this continues, I’m afraid that Shi Mo will change his bride on the wedding day and marry that b * tch Ye Qingwan.””
“He probably won’t.”
Zhao Qinlan said unconfidently,” If he really wanted to marry that little slut Ye Qingwan, he would definitely cancel the wedding and break up with you publicly.”
“Auntie, I want to use the medicine you gave me last time tonight.”
Although she was talking about disgusting things, Bai Shanshan’s smile was gentle and dignified.
Zhao Qinlan was too busy these two days and had forgotten about this matter.
Upon hearing her mention it, he suddenly said,” Shanshan, something happened these past two days and I really forgot. Do you want it now?””
“Yes, it’s still early. I’ll accompany Auntie to get the medicine, and then we’ll go to the beauty salon. Auntie, you have good taste. Can you help me pick out tonight’s dress later?”
“Alright, I’ll give you the medicine.”
Zhao Qinlan and Bai Shanshan chatted as they returned to the living room.
“Shanshan, wait here. I’ll go upstairs to get the medicine.”
“Alright.”
Bai Shanshan nodded with a smile.
Zhao Qinlan returned to the room upstairs and opened the safe.
Downstairs, Bai Shanshan waited for two minutes before she went upstairs with light footsteps.
Just as she reached the second floor, she met Gu Ziyang, who was coming down from upstairs.
She stopped in her tracks and smiled.” Ziyang, you’re home too.””
“Why are you at my house?”
Gu Ziyang looked at Bai Shanshan unhappily.
Bai Shanshan smiled and said,”Auntie invited me.”
“Even if my mother invited you, you shouldn’t have barged in.”
“I just wanted to go upstairs and look for Auntie. She just said that she had a gift for me. By the way, are you going to the Smiths ‘banquet tonight?”
“What does it have to do with you?”
“It’s none of my business, but Shi Mo will probably bring Ye Qingwan there tonight. Ziyang, it’s still too late for you to pursue Wanwan now. Your brother and I are about to get married. You don’t want her to be called a mistress and Zixi to be called an illegitimate child, right?”
“Mm, you’re right. I’ll call my brother now and tell him to break up with you and give Wanwan an honorable identity.”
As he spoke, he really took out his phone to make a call.
Bai Shanshan was so scared that her expression changed drastically.”Ziyang, don’t be rash. I was just joking. If Shi Mo wanted to break up with me, he would have done so long ago. I’ll tell you the truth. Actually, it’s Wanwan who doesn’t like Shi Mo and is unwilling to marry him because the person she likes is you.”
—-
In the room upstairs.
Zhao Qinlan stood in front of the safe.
He looked at the three small bottles inside.
Her hand touched the first bottle. Just as she was about to pick it up, she thought of something and a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
He changed his mind.
He picked up the second small bottle.
He took out two white pills.
This would destroy the nervous system and cause hallucinations, or even worse…medicine.
That year, she had given Lu Yarou this medicine.
However, the person Lu Yarou saw in her hallucination was not Gu Xiaoquan, but her own husband…
She wanted to see if Gu Shimo had known about her background long ago, which was why he had been so cold to her all these years.
She even dared to touch her family, the Zhao family.
If he already knew about his background, then she would make him go to hell as soon as possible.
She put the medicine into a small bag and sealed it. She closed the safe and went out.
—-
In the CEO’s office of the Gu Corporation.
Ye Qingwan saw the scene of Zhao Qinlan opening the safe to get the medicine.
Her heart skipped a beat.
After Zhao Qinlan left the room, she immediately exited the video call.
He put on his clothes and opened the door to the lounge.
~~
P.S. I’ve had a headache these past two days, so I’ve updated a little late.
Seeking a wave of votes!
Chapter 85: Returning to the Gu Mansion to Get Medicine (1) Gu Shimo was the only one in the office outside. His secretary had already left.
He turned around when he heard her voice and the corners of his lips curled up.” Wanwan, you’re awake?”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan wanted to lie and leave.
She had just heard it, but Gu Shimo had not received the news yet.
She suddenly regretted not destroying Zuo Zhi’s equipment that night.
Actually, it was only temporary. It was useless.
“After I’m done with these documents, I’ll accompany you to do your hair and try on your dress.”
Gu Shimo’s gaze fell on her exquisite face.
She was born beautiful, but her usual attire was already so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
If she wore a gown, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist hiding her.
Ye Qingwan blinked and smiled.” Brother, you can do your work. I’ll go by myself.””
“I’ll accompany you.”
“There’s really no need. I’ve already made an appointment with Xiao Duan.”
“Then I’ll pick you up half an hour earlier.”Gu Shimo stared at Ye Qingwan with a look of inquiry.
She added,” Wait a moment. I’ll get Gu Feng to pick you up.”
“Brother, I’ll call Gu Feng myself.”
Ye Qingwan only hesitated for a second before agreeing to his arrangement.
Gu Feng would not betray her.
It was not a bad thing to ask him to return to the Gu residence together.
—-
At the Gu residence.
Zhao Qinlan came downstairs. Bai Shanshan was waiting alone in the living room. Gu Ziyang had already left.
She glanced at the necklace on Bai Shanshan’s neck.
“Shanshan, why did you change your necklace? Don’t you like the necklace Shi Mo gave you anymore?””
Bai Shanshan’s eyes flashed.
She frowned and said,” No, I accidentally lost it when I was shopping today.”
“Ah, lost it?”
“Yes, Auntie, don’t tell Shi Mo. I’m afraid he’ll be angry.”
In reality.
It was this afternoon when Liu Yunzhi had forced her to do it, and he had pulled it off for her.
He even forced the necklace he had bought for her to wear on her neck, saying that he wanted to see her wearing the necklace he had given her at the banquet tonight.
Otherwise, he would tell Gu Shimo about their relationship.
Her father, Bai Ruixing, was fawning over Liu Yunzhi.
Bai Shanshan had something to deal with him. Now that the wedding was about to begin, she didn’t dare to anger Liu Yunzhi too much.
Liu Yunzhi was determined to let her give birth to his child.
He had been staying in the Bai family for the past few days.
He had to do it with her more than twice a day.
This afternoon, she had gone even further. She had pulled the necklace that Gu Shimo had given her and wanted to force her to give him a blow.
In order not to be disgusted to death, she put on the one he gave her and thought that she would take it back in a few days.
“Your necklace looks good too. It’s also the latest model.”
Zhao Qinlan stared at Bai Shanshan’s necklace a few times. Bai Shanshan immediately raised her hand and took the necklace. She smiled and said,”Auntie, if you like it, I’ll give it to you. I’ll buy another one later.””
“How can that do?”
Zhao Qinlan clearly liked it, but she said no.
After pretending to reject her, Bai Shanshan put the necklace on her neck and went upstairs to put her own necklace away.
Then, he went to the beauty salon with Bai Shanshan.
—-
After Ye Qingwan left the Gu Corporation, she called Gu Feng and asked him to go back to the Gu residence.
She took a taxi to the Gu residence.
As soon as she got into the car, her expression changed because of their conversation.
Bai Shanshan took off her necklace.
Zhao Qinlan stopped wearing it again.
She had not gathered enough evidence yet.
Ye Qingwan frowned.
She dialed Gu Ziyang’s number.
The phone rang twice and Gu Ziyang’s voice came through. He sounded warm and happy.” Hello, Qing Wan.””
“Brother Ziyang, where are you?”
“I was just about to go to your house to make an appointment with Zixi…”
“Brother Ziyang, you don’t have to go. I’ll go find you.”
Wanwan, are you coming back?”
Gu Ziyang’s voice was mixed with joy.
Chapter 86: Returning to the Gu Mansion to Get Medicine (2) Ye Qingwan smiled and replied,” Yes, I have something I need your help with, Brother Ziyang.””
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Gu Ziyang had liked Ye Qingwan for many years. Even though she had become his brother’s woman, he couldn’t let go of her so easily.
He sometimes thought that after his brother and Bai Shanshan got married, there would be no more entanglements between them.
At that time, he could marry her and take care of the mother and son.
Because he did not know about the grudges of the previous generation, Gu Ziyang’s heart was still full of fantasies.
He hung up the phone and waited for Ye Qingwan in the car.
Ye Qingwan asked Gu Feng to wait for her not far from the Gu residence.
When she arrived at the Gu residence, Gu Ziyang saw her getting out of Gu Feng’s car.
He smiled and went up to her and asked with concern,” Wanwan, have you recovered from your cold?”
Ye Qingwan chuckled and raised her eyebrows.” Don’t you think I’m in good spirits? I’m fine now. I don’t have a fever anymore.””
“You shouldn’t run around if you don’t have a fever. If you have anything in the future, just call me directly. I’ll go over and look for you.”
The two of them talked as they walked side by side.
Gu Feng did not follow them. Instead, he waited in the car.
After entering the living room, Gu Ziyang poured some water for Ye Qingwan and asked gently,” Wanwan, why are you looking for me?”
Ye Qingwan suddenly frowned and covered her stomach.
Seeing this, Gu Ziyang’s expression changed slightly.” What’s wrong?”
“I think I had a stomachache at noon. Brother Ziyang, wait for me for a while. I’ll go to the bathroom.”
“Go ahead.”
Gu Ziyang nodded. He did not hide the concern in his eyes.
“Brother Ziyang, is my room still there?”
“Yes.”
He nodded. Bai Shanshan had stayed for a few days before, and his brother had asked someone to change everything in the room.
Ye Qingwan forced a smile.” Wait for me. I’ll tell you later.””
With that, she held her stomach with one hand and ran upstairs.
—-
“Master, Bai Shanshan’s necklace was taken away by Liu Yunzhi.”
In the CEO’s office of the Gu Corporation, Gu Shimo sat behind his desk and listened to Zuo Zhi’s report.
His handsome facial features were immediately covered with a layer of coldness. His voice was deep and cold.” When did this happen?”
“This afternoon, Liu Yunzhi took it away when he did that thing with her. The necklace is now in Liu Yunzhi’s hands… However, she’s with her wife now…”
Zuo Zhi was not stupid.
After Bai Shanshan escaped from the surveillance camera, he immediately listened to Zhao Qinlan.
Then, he learned that Zhao Qinlan’s necklace had also been taken off.
He hung up the phone.
Gu Shimo did not call Ye Qingwan’s phone. Instead, he called Gu Feng.
Gu Feng told him that Ye Qingwan was with Gu Ziyang.
Gu Shimo knew that Ye Qingwan had gone back to take the medicine from his mother’s safe.
What she could see, the Left Executive could see too.
Therefore, he knew what Ye Qingwan wanted to do.
He closed the document, picked up his car keys, walked out of the office, took the elevator downstairs, and dialed Gu Ziyang’s number.
Walking out of the building, Gu Ziyang’s voice came from the other end of the phone.” Brother.””
“Ziyang, did Qing Wan go back to look for you?”
Gu Shimo asked as he walked towards the garage.
Gu Ziyang felt a little disappointed when he heard that he was looking for Ye Qingwan the moment he opened his mouth, but he still answered truthfully,” Brother, Wanwan said she needed me for something, so she came back.”
“Yes, is she beside you now?”
“No, she had a stomachache just now and went back to her room to use the bathroom. Brother, is there anything urgent you need from Wanwan? I’ll tell her when she comes downstairs. Or, I can go up and call her…”
“No need. It’s not an emergency.”
Gu Shimo stopped Gu Yang from going upstairs.
He laughed and got into the car.” There’s a banquet tonight, so Wanwan’s coming with me. Ziyang, you’ve been back for a few days now. Have you thought about when you’ll start working at the company?””
Chapter 87: The Woman in the Picture “Brother, you know that I don’t like the deception in the business world.”
Gu Shimo did not force her and said casually,” Are you still planning to go abroad?”
“I’m not leaving.”
Gu Ziyang heard the sound of the car starting and asked curiously,” Brother, are you driving?”
“I went back to fetch Wanwan and promised to do her hair and pick out her gown. Do you want to go to the banquet tonight? There will be elites from all walks of life attending the banquet tonight, and there will be many directors as well.”
“I won’t go. Brother, you’re going to attend the banquet with Wanwan. What about Bai Shanshan? Is she willing?”
Gu Ziyang hesitated for the second half of his sentence.
It was a little stiff.
“What she does has nothing to do with me. In a few more days, she will be nothing.”
Gu Shimo’s voice suddenly turned cold.
“Brother, focus on driving. We’ll talk when you’re back.”
Gu Ziyang wanted to hang up when he heard the honking of the car.
It wasn’t safe to make a phone call while driving.
However, Gu Shimo said indifferently,” It’s okay. I can still chat with you while driving. Why would Wanwan go to your house to look for you? Is Mom not at home?”
Zhao Qinlan didn’t like Ye Qingwan.
This was something they all knew.
“Mom and Bai Shanshan went out together. I think they were accompanying Bai Shanshan to do her hair and choose a gown. Brother, can you promise me one thing?”
“What is it?”
Gu Shimo’s long and narrow eyes narrowed.
“Since you want to bring Wanwan to the banquet, don’t let Bai Shanshan bully her or anyone else bully her.”
“I won’t let anyone bully her.”
Gu Shimo’s voice was very calm, but the determination in his tone was unquestionable.
“Brother, I won’t talk to you anymore. Wanwan went up for a long time and hasn’t come down yet. I’ll go and see if her stomach hurts badly.”
“No need to go.”
Gu Shimo’s tone instantly became heavier.
Gu Ziyang explained in a low voice,” I’m just worried. I don’t mean anything else.””
“I know you don’t mean anything else, but you don’t have to look for her. Since she said that her stomach was uncomfortable, it’s normal for it to take a little longer. Just now, you said that you don’t have to go to work. Are you really going to join the film industry and direct your own works?”
“Brother, I think so.”
“In the next few days, I’ll buy over the Bai family’s film and television company. At that time, you can choose whatever you want.”
“The Bai family’s film company?”
Gu Ziyang had heard that his brother had touched the Bai family.
However, she was still a little surprised when she heard him mention it.
On the second floor.
Ye Qingwan didn’t really go to the bathroom.
Instead, she went straight to Zhao Qinlan’s room. The camera that Gu Shimo had installed for her was facing the safe.
When Zhao Qinlan opened the safe, she saw the password very clearly.
At this moment, she wore gloves and opened the safe.
What entered his eyes was an old photo.
Although the photo was full of needle marks, her eyes widened in shock when she saw the man and woman in the photo.
At first glance, the woman in the photo was her mother, Lu Yarou.
The man in the photo was the young Gu Xiaoquan. Because he looked a little like Gu Shimo, she could recognize him at a glance.
Ye Qingwan’s brain froze for a few seconds.
Then, she picked up the photo with trembling hands.
After taking a closer look, her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
She had gotten too many needles just now, so she was mistaken.
Actually, the person in the photo was not her mother.
It was just that her figure was similar to her mother’s and her clothes were the same.
She had mistaken him.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingwan took out her phone and took two pictures.
She stared at the photo again before putting it back into the safe.
His target was the three small bottles.
There were no labels or words.
However, the color of the cap was different.
Ye Qingwan didn’t know what was in the three bottles.
What was its use?
Chapter 88: She Doesn’t Want You to Know Ye Qingwan picked up the first bottle and opened it. It was a small yellow pill.
She glanced at the small bag next to her.
In the end, he gave up on using it and took out a tissue from his pocket.
He carefully put the pill in and wrapped it up.
He then took two pills from the other two bottles and wrapped them up.
In Zhao Qinlan’s safe, other than the medicine and photos, she briefly looked through the rest of the things.
It was not what she needed.
There were only some jewelry and cash.
After closing the safe, Ye Qingwan took out the retracting lever from her bag.
He removed the sticker from the camera.
Then, he put it into his bag.
After doing all this, she quickly walked out of the room.
He returned to his previous room.
He entered the bathroom and locked the door.
—-
Gu Shimo had just arrived at the Gu residence when he received a call from Zuo Zhi.
He held his phone in one hand and opened the car door with the other. He heard Zuo Zhi say,” Master, I don’t know what Miss Wanwan did in between…”
Gu Shimo’s tone was very calm.” It’s fine if you don’t know. She doesn’t want you to know, so you have to keep a close eye on her. Don’t only find out about everything after Wanwan.”
“Yes, sir.”
The Left Deacon felt that he was always missing the most important moments.
Actually, he had always been there.
When he missed it, he went to solve a necessary problem.
Compared to whether Zuo Zhi could see what Ye Qingwan had done, Gu Shimo was more concerned about whether Ye Qingwan had gotten what she wanted.
Zuo Zhi said that his mother had taken the medicine from the safe.
So, even though Ye Qingwan deliberately blocked the camera, he knew that she had opened the safe.
She took the medicine from inside and gave it to Bai Shanshan. This meant that the medicine in the safe was aphrodisiac.
Ye Qingwan obviously didn’t need that medicine.
He recalled the private updates she had posted on her Moments.
He held his breath for a moment.
Gu Shimo tightened his grip on his phone and gave Zuo Zhi a few more instructions.
He hung up the phone.
Gu Feng stood two steps away and called out unnaturally,” Master, why are you back?”
Gu Shimo raised his eyebrows and an invisible aura approached him.” Why? Can’t I come back?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“..”
Gu Shi Mo glanced at him and left.
Gu Feng did not dare to stop him.
He only prayed silently in his heart that Miss Wanwan had already finished what she needed to do.
After watching Gu Shimo’s back walk a few meters away, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Ye Qingwan.
On the second floor.
Ye Qingwan came out of the bathroom and heard a knock on the door.
She quickly walked over and opened the door. Outside, Gu Ziyang looked at her with concern.” Wanwan, what took you so long? Are you alright?””
Ye Qingwan’s brows furrowed slightly. She grabbed the doorknob with one hand and the other hand was still wet.
“I’m fine. My legs are just numb.”
She looked a little embarrassed.
Gu Ziyang gave a relieved smile.” It’s okay that your legs are numb. It’ll be fine in a while. I was worried that your stomach was hurting badly, so I came up to take a look.””
“Brother Ziyang, you’re too nervous.”
Ye Qingwan smiled.” If I’m really in pain, I’ll call you.””
Gu Ziyang nodded.” Maybe I was too nervous. Oh right, my brother called just now and said that he wanted to pick you up to do your hair and try on your dress.”
Gu Ziyang looked at Ye Qingwan with a deeper gaze.
Seriously and seriously, she asked ” Wanwan, do you really want to attend the banquet with my brother?””
Ye Qingwan blinked and said lightly,” Yes, I promised him.”
“But he and Bai Shanshan didn’t break up. In the eyes of outsiders, they are fiancees who are about to get married. It’s not good for your reputation to appear in public with him like this.”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and called out softly,” Brother Ziyang.””
Chapter 89: You Were Willing to Do That Gu Ziyang’s heart tightened and he instinctively wanted to protect her.” Wanwan, if you’re unwilling, I can tell my brother not to force you.””
In the past few years, Ye Qingwan had often complained about Gu Shimo’s tyranny and strictness.
It was also because of this.
Gu Ziyang felt that his brother must be forcing Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan shook her head.” Brother Ziyang, I’m willing.””
Seeing the pure concern in Gu Ziyang’s eyes, she suddenly felt a little sad.
All those years, Gu Ziyang had always treated her very well.
He was not as strict and domineering as Gu Shimo. He would grant almost all of her requests.
However, when she thought about how she had used him just now.
She might even use him in the future.
Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but feel guilty.
This was a feeling that she did not have when she was using Gu Shimo.
This was because she had made a deal with Gu Shimo. That man would never let himself suffer.
“Wanwan, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but with my brother and Bai Shanshan’s current relationship, once your and Zixi’s identities are exposed, you’ll be scolded.”
“I know.”
Ye Qingwan mocked herself.” This is only temporary.””
“Wanwan, you never told me what happened five years ago. Why did you suddenly disappear?”
Gu Ziyang was not a fool.
He could feel that Ye Qingwan had a secret.
Or rather, there was a secret between her and her brother.
He did not know what secret it was.
“Brother Ziyang, let’s wait for a while. I can’t say it now, and I don’t know how to say it. After some time, I will tell you everything.”
“Alright.”
Gu Ziyang smiled warmly and did not pursue the matter further.
Instead, she changed the topic and asked,” Didn’t you say that you were looking for me for something? Can you tell me what’s the matter now?”
“Yes.”
“Are your legs still numb? Should she go over to the sofa and sit down?”
Ye Qingwan nodded, slowed down, and sat down on the sofa.
Gu Ziyang hesitated for a moment before closing the door and sitting down on the sofa beside her.
—-
Gu Shimo entered the living room but did not see Gu Ziyang and Ye Qingwan.
He pursed his lips, went upstairs, and knocked on Ye Qingwan’s door.
It only knocked once.
He opened the door.
Gu Ziyang and Ye Qingwan, who were sitting on the sofa, turned around at the same time.
“Brother.”
Gu Ziyang stood up and walked towards him.
Ye Qingwan also stood up.
Gu Shimo’s gaze went past Gu Ziyang and landed on Ye Qingwan.
After sizing her up for two seconds, she said in a low voice,” Wanwan, it’s almost time. I’ll accompany you to get your hair done and pick out a gown.””
“Sure,”
Ye Qingwan smiled.
He walked over to the door.
When Gu Shimo pulled her into his arms, she smiled and said to Gu Ziyang,” Brother Ziyang, I’ll ask you another day.”
Gu Ziyang suddenly felt disappointed. He said gently,” You can look for me anytime. I have a lot of time.””
Gu Shimo did not stop.
After saying a few words to Gu Ziyang, she held Ye Qingwan’s hand in front of him and went downstairs, leaving the living room.
With him around, Ye Qingwan did not take Gu Feng’s car anymore.
The car drove off.
Gu Shimo turned to look at Ye Qingwan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. He asked calmly,” Why did you come back?”
“I have something to discuss with Brother Ziyang.”
“What is it?”
“Brother, why are you asking this?”
Ye Qingwan frowned and looked at Gu Shimo’s handsome face with dissatisfaction.
She said stiffly,” Can’t I have my own privacy and have to tell you everything?”
Gu Shimo suddenly smiled.
” I’m willing to give up my privacy for you. You don’t have to hide everything from me, do you?””
“That’s what you want. I’m not willing now.”
Ye Qingwan gave him a look that said,” If you don’t want to, you can return the watch to me.”
Chapter 90: Be Good, Just for a while… “Alright, I’ll wait until you’re willing to tell me.”
In the end, Gu Shimo compromised.
His deep eyes swept across her bag. If he wanted to know the secret inside, it was not impossible.
—-
Shanshan, you’re so beautiful.”
On the second floor of a private custom-made socialite in Southern City, Zhao Qinlan looked at Bai Shanshan, who had changed into a gown.
His eyes were filled with envy for her youth.
Bai Shanshan had a good figure and a beautiful face.
She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction.” Auntie, you have good taste. If I had to choose, I definitely wouldn’t have chosen such a beautiful gown.”
“Nonsense.”
Zhao Qinlan said angrily,”It’s because you’re good-looking and have a good figure. I guarantee that you’ll charm Shi Mo until he forgets who he is tonight.””
Bai Shanshan asked the shop assistant to wait downstairs first.
She looked at Zhao Qinlan in the mirror and asked gently,”Auntie, can the medicine you gave me really help me get Shi Mo?””
“Of course.”
A cold smile flashed across Zhao Qinlan’s eyes.
“Then I can rest assured. Actually, I know that the person Shi Mo wants to marry is Ye Qingwan. Auntie, if one day Shi Mo is determined to break up with me, will you still help me marry him?”
“Of course, I’m on your side. Shi Mo has always had his own opinions. You have to seize the opportunity tonight. He could say that he lost his mind that night five years ago. I don’t know if it was you or that bitch Ye Qingwan. But if you sleep with him again tonight, he won’t be able to deny it.”
“Yes, that’s all we can do for the time being.”
Bai Shanshan nodded.
Tonight, no matter what, she had to get Gu Shimo.
—-
Gu Shimo accompanied Ye Qingwan to do her hair and watched her try on the dress.
The designer recommended a black gown that matched Ye Qingwan’s skin tone and temperament.
The simple and elegant style could perfectly show off her good figure, but it would not be too revealing and appear vulgar.
When Ye Qingwan came out of the fitting room, Gu Shimo put down the cup in his hand and stood up from the sofa.
A pair of deep eyes locked onto her tightly. A moment later, he strode towards her.
The staff quietly left, leaving them alone.
Ye Qingwan watched him approach from the mirror. He held her shoulder with his big hand. The man’s warm and slightly rough fingers caressed her smooth skin. It brought a string of numbness, like an electric current that struck her heart.
Wanwan, you’re so beautiful.”
He stood behind her and slid his palm down.
He pulled her into his arms and pressed his chest against her back.
In the mirror, the man’s masculinity and the woman’s delicateness were closely pressed together, and the ambiguity spread in an instant.
He couldn’t help but lean over and kiss her fair neck.
He felt the person in his arms tremble slightly.
His eyes were burning and his kisses were as dense as rain.” Wanwan, I regret it.”
“Regret what?”
Ye Qingwan couldn’t stand the trembling and twisted her body.
“I regret saying that I’ll bring you to the banquet and still wearing this.”
The more he kissed her, the more passionate he became. His large palm was not content with only resting on her waist. Instead, he pulled down her shoulder strap and searched for her most sensitive spot.
“Brother…”
Ye Qingwan called in a low voice.
His legs were so weak that he could barely stand up.
This call sounded like an invitation to Gu Shimo.
He wanted her even more.
He turned her around and kissed her until they reached the door. Then, he locked the door.
He pressed her against the door.
“Brother, no, there are surveillance cameras here.”
Ye Qingwan panicked.
She knew that she looked good in this gown.
However, she did not expect Gu Shimo to have such thoughts.
When his large palm passed by her, her body was ignited.
His voice was hoarse and sexy, and it was extremely seductive as it landed beside her ear.” I won’t want you here. I’ll just kiss you for a while. Be good and let go of you after a while.””
Five minutes later.
Ye Qingwan could finally breathe some fresh air.
