Outside the building, Zhou Guanjin excitedly placed an arm around Qiao Xi’s neck. “Sister Qiao Xi, why did you suddenly agree to collaborate with Gu Corporation? You don’t have to force yourself. You don’t have to agree to collaborate with them on my account.”

At the very least, she should at least meet the people from Gu Corporation before agreeing.

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes.

After Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu got rid of the university leaders, they saw two figures standing outside the building.

Zhou Guanjin had an arm around Qiao Xi and kept talking to her. They looked intimate.

For the most part, Qiao Xi listened silently and occasionally nodded in agreement.

One was quiet while the other was noisy. They looked strangely harmonious.

Song Shiyu stole a glance at Gu Zheng’s expression and said, “Um… Madam and Zhou Guanjin seem to be very close, haha… I remember Zhou Guanjin saying that Gu Shan is his junior. It’s probably been a long time since they last met, so it’s normal for them to have a lot to talk about…”

Gu Zheng expressionlessly looked at the arm Zhou Guanjin had placed around Qiao Xi’s neck.

Zhou Guanjin felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu coming down the stairs. He waved his hand. “Brother Gu Zheng, come here. Let me introduce you. This is my junior…”

Before he could finish, Gu Zheng stopped three meters in front of them and asked, “Are we going home together?”

Zhou Guanjin said, “Huh? Are we going to your house for a gathering today?”

Qiao Xi pinched the s.p.a.ce between her brows. “Let’s go together.”

She did not want to listen to this talkative Zhou Guanjin anymore!

“Yeah.”

Gu Zheng nodded lightly and turned to walk toward the parking lot.

Qiao Xi tossed Zhou Guanjin’s arm that was on her shoulder. She casually said that she was leaving and left.

Zhou Guanjin watched them leave together… He was stunned…

What was going on?

He grabbed Song Shiyu and asked, “My junior and Brother Gu Zheng know each other? When did they meet? Why don’t I know about this?”

Song Shiyu stammered, “Maybe… they haven’t known each other for long?”

They had not known each other for long but were going home together?

Going home together?!

“F*ck, something’s wrong. Something’s definitely wrong. Song Shiyu, tell me the truth. What’s going on between them?”

“Nothing much. They’re just legally married.”

With that, he took advantage of Zhou Guanjin’s moment of shock to break free from his restraints and slip away.

Zhou Guanjin was still thinking about what he had heard. Legally married… They were husband and wife?

His junior and Brother Gu Zheng were married?!

Brother Gu Zheng’s marriage partner was his junior?!

Holy sh*t!

…

Qiao Xi originally thought that she would have to face Gu Zheng’s probing. She had even thought of an excuse, but who would have expected that Gu Zheng did not ask a single question!

Apart from Song Shiyu glancing at her from time to time, their interactions were no different from usual.

Never mind the incident about her being Gu Shan but Gu Zheng did not even mention the collaboration with Gu Corporation!

The breath that Qiao Xi had been holding all throughout was let go just like that.

After returning to the villa, she ran up to the third floor.

At this moment, a birthday reminder popped up.

Qiao Xi slowed down.

Mo Yuan’s birthday was coming up…

In the past, she would always make a happy birthday animation and send it to him. However, she had asked Mo Yuan too many questions recently so it would not be as easy to handle his birthday this year.

Scratching her head, Qiao Xi thought about the impression she had of Mo Yuan. In the past, he was steady, but after the recent few conversations, Qiao Xi felt that Mo Yuan was probably very young…

She would just make him something, then!

In the study on the second floor.

Song Shiyu asked Gu Zheng as he worked, “President, your birthday is coming up. How are you going to celebrate it this time? Are you going back to the Gu family’s mansion or are you going to a gathering with friends?”

Song Shiyu would always ask the same question for his birthday.

However, Gu Zheng soon added, “You can also spend time with Madam.”

Gu Zheng slammed the doc.u.ment onto the table. “Do you think she’ll celebrate my birthday with me? She doesn’t even know my birthday!”

Song Shiyu: “…”

What was going on?

It was at this time that Qiao Xi called. Song Shiyu looked at Gu Zheng in fear and quietly walked to the side to pick it up. “Madam, what’s wrong?”

“Help me get something.”

“What is it?”

After Qiao Xi told him what she wanted, Song Shiyu was silent for a while. “Madam, are you interested in craftsmanship? There’s a shop under the president’s name that specializes in craftsmanship. The facilities are very complete.”

“Don’t tell him about it.”

Qiao Xi refused without the slightest hesitation.

Song Shiyu sensed that something was wrong. He asked in a quivering tone, “Madam, may I ask what you want these things for?”

What was there to hide from the president?
