Chapter 41

“Gu Xingyun! Don’t go too far!” After being repeatedly rejected and ignored by the other party, Lu Xin finally flared up.

“Are you interested in that mentally ill woman? Let me tell you this, she’s married!!”

Three years ago, she had already realized that the way Gu Xingyun looked at Tang Xin was different. Although he was friendly towards her like he was with other girls, there was a different kind of fondness and doting in his eyes when he looked at Tang Xin.

“I’m neither blind nor deaf, she’s married to the current president of Li Enterprise, right?” Gu Xingyun said indifferently, as if he really didn’t care.

“You don’t care?” Lu Xin couldn’t believe his reaction was so mild.

“What should I care about? What has she got to do with me? Why do I have to care?” Actually he did care. When he had finally made up his mind to come back and protect her, she had already married someone else.

“Looks like I’ve misunderstood.” Feeling relieved, Lu Xin smiled and took the initiative to put her hand around his arm again. “Xingyun, I was wrong. I’ll wait for you to knock off, shall we go to dinner together?”

Gu Xingyun wanted to say no. He raised his hand, wanting to push her aside, but put that hand down in the end, “Go back first, I’ll call you after work.”

“So it’s a yes? I shan’t bother you anymore then, I’ll make a reservation first. I remember your favorite is French cuisine, I’ll call you after I’ve made the reservation.” Lu Xin tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the face, “I’ll wait for you.”

And she left happily.

It was not until her footsteps went away that Gu Xingyun’s eyebrows began to relax.

…

As the night fell, the lights came on, and the city was bustling.

Li Yunshen wasn’t working overtime in the office that night. After coming back, he went straight into the study and didn’t even go downstairs for dinner.

Tang Xin sat alone at the empty dining table, and the food was tasteless to her. Seeing Sister Liu carrying hot food upstairs, she quickly put down the tableware and went over.

“Sister Liu, is this Sir’s dinner? Let me do it.”

“Miss Tang, this is my duty, please don’t interfere,” Sister Liu coldly refused to let her bring food for her husband.

She knew that she hadn’t gotten any respect here. All she did every day was eat and sleep like a puppet, which was extremely boring.

“Sister Liu, I’m not trying to interfere with your job. It doesn’t matter if you don’t acknowledge my identity, but in the eyes of the law, I really am your Sir’s wife. Can’t a wife bring food for her husband? Otherwise, just take it that I’m fulfilling the obligations of a wife.” She really admired herself for being able to say things so smoothly.

She always knew that she had had the ability to fight back, it was just that she had never bothered to.

Sister Liu looked at her sternly for a long while, as if she wanted to see through her, before slowly handing her the food and turning to do other things.

Tang Xin secretly let out a sigh of relief, and then brought the food upstairs.

“Boss, the transfer agreement for that piece of land in Dongyang has been done up and only needs you to stamp and sign it.”

Tang Xin was about to knock on the door when Wen Xi’s voice suddenly came from inside. She realized that the door was half open, so she could hear the conversation inside clearly.

Isn’t that piece of land in Dongyang the same as what Second Brother said? In order to defeat Tang Enterprise, he was even willing to lose money and give a piece of land away so that he could work with the European KY Group?

Recalling what her second brother had said at noon, Tang Xin felt torn again.

Should she help?

He hated her anyway, so just let him hate her completely. If this would be a trade for Second Brother’s happiness, it would still be worth it.

“Uh, Madam, why are you here?”
