Callous Boss and Awkward Wife

Proofread by Peter Gong

Yu Fei doesn't respond to his words and eats silently. The sudden silence confuses Aunt Lee, who looks at Gu Yi with doubt. Gu Yi signals her that she can leave now. After Aunt Lee leaves, only Gu Yi and Yu Fei are left in the house. It is originally sunny, but now it suddenly turns cloudy. At this time, Gu Yi almost finishes his meal, putting down his chopsticks, and looks outside.

Finding that he doesn't look at her any more, Yu Fei feels relaxed and takes a deep breath. Although he doesn't look at Yu Fei, he secretly pays attention to Yu Fei and her relaxed state. The rest of the dinner time is passing in silence, which makes them awkward. After the dinner, Yu Fei is about to wash the dishes but is stopped by Gu Yi. He asks Yu Fei to sit down on the sofa, putting the remote control in her hand, "Sit here and have a rest. Let me do the dishes." Before Yu Fei can respond, Gu Yi has gone to the kitchen.

It is impossible for Yu Fei not to feel moved when seeing Gu Yi, the proud president of Gu Company, doing these housework with no complaint. This is what she has never experienced with Ko Chen. When she is still thinking, Gu Yi has finished his work and stands in front of her in suit and with a bowl of washed fruits. He puts the bowl on the table, saying, "It's done. I'm going to the company now."

But his consideration only embarrasses Yu Fei. She knows his feelings for her, which is exactly the reason why she doesn't know how to refuse him. Her thoughts are immediately known by Gu Yi. But he only smiles and gropes her head, which seems to bring them back to the time in the university and they feel stunned for a while. Just at this time, the phone rings and brings them back to reality. Gu Yi withdraws his hand and picks up the phone, and Yu Fei lowers her head uncomfortably.

It's something about his work. Gu Yi responds simply but anxiously, "OK, I'll be right back. Tell each department that we'll have a meeting one hour later." He hangs up the phone. And before he can talk, Yu Fei smiles, "Work first. You can go now." But Gu Yi still worries about Yu Fei and says, "Be careful when you are alone at home. If your step-mother comes again, don't open the door and call me immediately. I'll talk to her." "OK, OK, I know." Yu Fei responds, and closes the door after she sees him entering the elevator.

The empty room relaxes Yu Fei. Having a good stretch, she speaks to herself, "The phone call sounds like there are problems. Hopefully it's not a big deal. "As she has expected, the call is about the problems of Gu Yi's company, and moreover, severe ones. The instant Gu Yi enters the elevator, the smile on his face disappears, and he changes into an expressionless and distant face. Walking out of the elevator, he gets in the car but doesn't start it immediately. Thinking twice, he calls someone. The call is connected in a second, "Mr. Gu." It is Zhang Le's voice. "Zhang Le, immediately take over the projecs with Lin Xiu Company." "OK."

Hanging up the phone, he feels relaxed. He is clear about Zhang Le's capability, so it's better to appoint him to be the project manager. But when thinking about the phone call from Lin Miaoxin, he can't help grasping the steering wheel tighter. "Mr. Gu, Lin Xiu Company asked us to provide all the funds for the project. Although the contract states that each provides half of the fund, it obscurely notes the time limit in the following subsidiary conditions. We are trapped." Squinting his eyes, Gu Yi starts the car and thinks about all the things since the stock market crashed. It is strange that Lin Xiu Company appeared at such a time, and now it turns out that they do have other aims in the name of cooperation. The moment Gu Yi goes back to the office, Lin Miaoxin follows him and gives him a file, "Mr. Gu, this is the personal information of the president of Lin Xiu Company." Her tone sounds a little strange, so Gu Yi turns his head to look at her. Lin Miaoxin doesn't say any more but moves the file forward. She sips her lips, "Mr. Gu, please read it before the meeting."

Gu Yi takes it with doubt. He understands why she had such a reaction with just a glance. The reason is that the president of Lin Xiu Company is Tan Lin who represents Ko Family. Gu Yi can't know more about what this family means. "We are trapped?" Gu Yi thumps hard on the desk, which makes a loud noise and scares Lin Miaoxin. She walks forward without thinking and checks his hands carefully. "What are you doing? You can't hurt yourself even if you are angry!" Lin reproaches him. Seeing that his fingers turn red, she takes out the first aid kit and applies it to his hand carefully.

Gu Yi looks at her side face silently, and asks suddenly, "For so many years, you don't ask for promotion or salaries. Why? What are you working for?" She pretends not to hear his words and doesn't answer, throwing herself into applying medicine. But Gu Yi seems to be crazy about her answer. He withdraws his hand and looks at her seriously. She also looks at him. Her eyes are so clear that his figure is reflected in her eyes. Suddenly, his cold heart is warmed.

Lin looks at him adoringly. Seeing he takes no action, she closes her eyes and leans forward subconsciously. Their distance is closer and closer, so close that she can even feel his breath. Such a close distance is what she has dreamed for so many years. Now with only a few inches can she realize her dream. Her heart is beating uncontrollably. Excitement and fear combined, her hands are full of sweat.
