Chapter 409 - 410: Left, My Darling

She hung up the phone with a “snap”, took a long breath, looked up, and immediately turned to stone.

At the door of the room, the Fifth Lord of Gu was leisurely leaning against the door. An utterly languid pose that somehow looked noble, graceful, and pleasing to the eye when done by him.

The noble, graceful, and pleasing to the eye Fifth Lord of Gu was raising his eyebrows, gazing at her with a mockingly playful expression.

Thinking about the words she had just said to Jee Xiu, Ye Xingbei’s face turned beet red.

She glared at Gu Junzhu, gritting her teeth, “How did you get in? Where is Xiao Tao?”

“Finished working?” Gu Junzhu twirled the special elevator card for the upper floors in his hand, “Don’t I have my dear wife’s special pass here? Smooth sailing all the way!”

YeXingbei: “…Pah!”

He clearly stole it!

Gu Junzhu put away the elevator card, leisurely walked up to her, leaned over the table with his hands on it, his eyes and eyebrows full of teasing smiles, “Wife, I haven’t seen you for a few hours and I was missing you so much, I must come to the company and have lunch with you. My dear wife, don’t be annoyed with me!”

Ye Xingbei:

She felt like crawling into a hole!

Seeing her embarrassment and blushing face like she had put on rouge, Gu Junzhu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, caressing her cheek, “Darling, you did well today, the excuse was nicely used! I indeed miss you terribly, unable to take a few hours apart, eager to come and have lunch with you. My dear wife, will you grace me with your presence?”

Ne Xingbei really wanted to say “get lost”, but she was afraid that the Fifth Lord of Gu would hit her back with his “roll the bedsheet” version of “roll” and take her right there in her office. She swallowed the words that came to her mouth. She almost choked!

Just her luck, the lie she casually spun was heard by the very person involved.

Wait.

They always had lunch at their respective companies, why did Gu Junzhu suddenly come to her company this noon?

Ye Xingbei forced herself to stay calm, her face tense, “Why are you here? And coming in without knocking?”

“Ye Xingli invited me,” Gu Junzhu said with a smile, gazing at her. “The man who once tried to steal you away is here, how could I not come?”

Ye Xingbei:

She really wanted to laugh!

She thought Brother Li had the guts to help Jee Xiu undermine the Fifth Lord of Gu.

And his… Brohter Li’s so unremarkable!

He actually tipped off the Fifth Lord of Gu!

Gu Junzhu smiled, walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Let’s go, darling, let your clingy husband take you to lunch!”

Ye Xingbei:

What kind of tongue twister is this!

Embarrassed by this seemingly unmerciful man, she really wanted to die!

She was forcibly led out of the office by Gu Junzhu.

She was too embarrassed to leave the office!

The elevator dropped to the first floor, and the two walked out only to see a group of people coming out of another elevator.

Seeing the two people being surrounded in front, Ye Xingbei really wanted to say something obscene.

The people who came out of the other elevator were Jee Xiu and Ye Xingli.

Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, Jee Xiu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He thought that Ye Xingbei was just using Gu Junzhu as an excuse to turn down his invitation.

He never thought it would be true.

He would rather have Ye Xingbei use Gu Junzhu as an excuse to refuse him than see Ye Xingbei truly with Gu Junzhu..
