‘Is she Mr. CEO’s younger sister or…’‘No way. That’s impossible. Mr. CEO is such a cold-hearted and emotionless guy. How could he possibly be dating this young lady?’ Everyone quickly dismissed this idea, but what happened a moment later left all of them in disbelief! When the people saw the beautiful girl holding a half-eaten Goubuli steamed bun (TN: a type of steamed stuffed bun from Tianjin, China) near their honorable and god-like CEO’s mouth, they initially thought that Mr. CEO would send her flying away with a kick. Nonetheless, he merely frowned a little and then ate the bun. When the girl saw this, she seemed to smile with satisfaction and tugged at the corner of Mr. CEO’s expensive suit using the hands that had been holding that Guobuli steamed bun earlier. Why did they feel like they could already see Mr. CEO having a daughter? The people gawked at this scene and even forgot to move until they saw their god-like Mr. CEO reach out to take the girl’s hand in his. This si
As Gu Xi thought of this, she stole a glance at her husband and pretended to play with her phone while taking three continuous photos of him. However, she had forgotten to turn off the shutter sound for her camera. Although the sound was not that loud, it could still be heard quite clearly in the silence of the office.Xing Beiyan’s attention was immediately drawn to her after the sound of the first photo being taken. Thus, she happened to take three continuous photos of him slowly raising his head. The air of elegance about him, while he was asleep, was long gone. Instead, the black suit he wore made him seem powerful and dominant. His charming eyes were as captivating and alluring as that of a messenger from the abyss of hell. Upon meeting his gaze, one could easily lose oneself in his eyes! Gu Xi instantly went rigid on the sofa. He had allowed her to come because she promised that she would not be a bother to him, yet what had she been doing all this while? She remained motion
Gu Xi read the words on the pillbox. “Sucralfate?”What kind of medicine was this? Xing Beiyan seemed like such a physically healthy person. Why would he be taking medication? Her initial excitement to be driving again subsided as Gu Xi became somewhat worried that Xing Beiyan might be sick. It appeared that he had been taking this medicine for quite some time, although he never mentioned anything about it to her. He probably did not want her to find out about this either. As Gu Xi continued to ponder, she took a pill and placed it in her pocket before putting the pillbox back in its original spot. Xing Beiyan most likely had his own reasons for not telling her, so it would be better if she did not ask about it. She could just secretly find out what exactly this medicine was used for. Right after that, someone knocked on the car window and startled Gu Xi. She turned her head and found Xing Beiyan staring at her silently. “You, you’re ready to leave?” she asked while stuttering sli
“Yes…” Gu Xi nodded in embarrassment. “I feel like it’s about time I learn more things so that I won’t appear to be completely useless in the eyes of others when I have to go out and socialize in the future.” An awkward look appeared on her face as she spoke. Gu Xi could still remember that time when she was invited to meet the Xing family’s members in her previous life. Back then, when the Old Madam asked her what skills she had, Gu Xi could not think of any at all, even after racking her brains for quite a while and ended up making a fool of herself. This incident had taken place while a large party was going on, so the Xing family’s members looked down on her greatly. After that, she refused to see them again. “Don’t we have some cars at home? Why didn’t you say anything if you wanted one?” Xing Beiyan studied her with a frown.“I, I was afraid that you might get angry. Previously…” she replied and looked somewhat embarrassed. Xing Beiyan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this a
Fortunately, it was Old Madam Xing who had been in control of the overall situation back then. She felt that she was the one who caused her son to run away from home, so she had always been guilty about it. That was why she loved and cared for this particular grandson very much. In spite of that, Xing Beiyan had often been tricked and set up by others as a child. In fact, there were many times when he had to be punished by caning. Gu Xi had found out about all of this in her previous life. In the past, she only knew that her maternal grandfather was a close friend of Xing Beiyan’s grandfather. Since her grandfather had only brought her to visit the old Xing residence a few times as a child, Gu Xi did not have a lot of memories of Xing Beiyan. The only memory she could clearly recall was that time when she was too playful and got lost in the Xing family’s mansion. She accidentally went into his room and was startled to tears by his wild and menacing eyes. Later, Gu Xi realized that X
Currently, in the Xing family’s mansion. Seven in the evening. In the living room. “Yo~ Now isn’t that Mr. CEO of the Xing family? You’ve finally come home, just when I thought you had forgotten all about us, your family.” Yang Mei, the second aunt that was usually most envious of Xing Beiyan, sarcastically said. “What nonsense is that! Beiyan is so busy and he’s finally back for once, how could you say that.” To the side, Second Master Xing reprimanded his wife, immediately standing up. With a kind expression, he said, “Beiyan, your second aunt always speaks like that. Don’t get angry now.” Although his expression was benevolent, his eyes flashed coldly. They were both nothing more than relatives on the surface. “Beiyan, you’re back.” At this moment, an aged voice sounded from the floor above. A well-maintained old woman dressed in elegant and refined clothes with a head of hair like frost was walking down the stairs with the support of a pleasant-looking girl. The
Once this thought occurred to her, Xing Yao felt that she was speaking logically so she quickly expressed the dissatisfaction in her mind. “Pay respects?” Xing Beiyan sneered. “Letting the wife of the Xing family’s head pay respect to you, an outsider! You think...you deserve that?” The atmosphere immediately went dead-silent. They had not met in so long that it seemed she had forgotten that the Xing family was under Xing Beiyan’s control now… Xing Yao’s face went red with anger because Xing Beiyan was indeed telling the truth. The wife of the Xing family’s head would be calling the shots in the future so Xing Yao simply did not deserve anything! However, she never expected that the current Xing Beiyan would consider everyone else beneath him now. Not only did he no longer regard her as his eldest aunt, but he also did not show her any respect in the presence of the entire family. She was furious! “Mother, look. I’m being treated so poorly by my nephew. Is there no natural
Once the conversation touched on the subject of his wife, the ice in Xing Beiyan’s expression melted away instantly. The corner of his mouth pulled into a loving smile, which made it so easy for people to fall for him with just a glance. Ruan Meng’er looked at this perfect man and her eyes gleamed with a determination to get this man for herself. As for Gu Xi who was at home, she was sitting alone at the table after having finished cooking dinner with the servants. She thought about what she had discovered on Baidu, Gu Xi’s complicated mood made her lose all appetite towards the dishes on the table. She had lived two lives and spent two lifetimes with him, yet had never known that Xing Beiyan had such severe stomach problems. She had even persuaded him to drink Gu Xue’er’s alcohol the last time they went out to ensure the success of her plan… The more she thought about it, the more Gu Xi hated herself. How could she be so selfish; even in this life she was reborn into, she only
