“Gu Yao, you’re still able to stay true to yourself despite Huang Lilan’s years of manipulation, and you’re simply adorable. You don’t have to endure so much burden yourself. You’ve already done very well.”

Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Gu Yao was touched. How could there be such a good sister-in-law in the world?!

He was truly unable to suppress the feelings in his heart. He hugged Qiao Xi tightly and buried his head in Qiao Xi’s shoulder as he cried. “Qiao Xi, you’re really too good! I like you so much!”

At this moment, Gu Zheng had just walked to the door when he heard him say that.

The man’s body suddenly turned cold as he pushed the door open. “What are you doing?”

He glanced at the two people hugging each other tightly in front of him. Gu Yao was so scared that his entire body trembled. Looking at his and Qiao Xi’s actions, he suddenly realized what a terrifying mistake he had made.

Gu Yao turned his head slightly and said in a desperate tone, “Qiao… Qiao Xi, I think we’re doomed!”

Qiao Xi’s body could not help but tremble. She looked at Gu Yao and gritted her teeth. “Gu Yao, you’re killing me!”

Gu Yao said, “Save me! Gu Zheng wanted to hit me just now! Now that he’s seen us hugging, he’ll definitely kill me! I don’t want to die! I’m still so young! Boo-hoo!”

Qiao Xi said, “Then let go!”

Gu Zheng looked at the remaining tears on Gu Yao’s face, then at the two of them hugging each other tightly. He said with a faint smile, “Can you tell me what you’re doing?”

Gu Yao: “…” ‘Oh no! Oh no!’

Qiao Xi: “…” ‘The heavens want me dead!’

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and was about to explain when she saw Gu Yao suddenly jumped out of her embrace. He shouted with a righteous expression, “Qiao Xi! You could’ve just told me what you wanted to say! Why are you hugging me?! I’m Gu Zheng’s younger brother, so we have to keep a distance! Gu Zheng, this has nothing to do with me! Qiao Xi hugged me first. I resisted, but I’m not as strong as her!”

Qiao Xi’s mouth was wide open: “…” ‘Damn! Who ran over to apologize to me, then hugged me while crying? Who said that I’m too good and that they like me? Is this how you treat the person you like?’

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent, but the calmer he was, the more alarmed the two of them were. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Xi Xi, tell me.”

Of course, Qiao Xi would not admit to Gu Yao’s words. Hence, she decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. She shouted, “Gu Yao! Why did you hug me?! I’m Gu Zheng’s wife! Gu Zheng, he was the one who rushed over to hug me first. I resisted, but he didn’t hear me!”

Gu Yao: “…” ‘Why are you such a dog like me?!’

In the end, Gu Yao was beaten up and was forbidden from having intimate contact with Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was carried back to the bedroom. The next day, her back ached and she only woke up in the afternoon.

…

Two days later.

During this period of time, Qiao Xi had been paying attention to Tang Ruge. However, ever since she pretended to be Fu Sheng, she had not done anything. This was really not right.

Qiao Xi woke up in the morning to work at Li City University. As soon as she entered the office, Teacher Song Xiao, who was about her age, smiled and said, “Xi Xi, there’s an art exhibition in the art hall today. Let’s go take a look!”

Li City University had recently spent a huge sum of money to hold an event. All the paintings they had collected were displayed in the art hall. They also took this opportunity to buy many famous paintings. All teachers and students could go and admire them.

After entering the art hall with Song Xiao, Qiao Xi suddenly saw a familiar figure. “He’s here too!”

At this moment, the chancellor was accompanying Gu Zheng on a tour of the art hall. Many university leaders followed behind him with very respectful attitudes.

Song Xiao had just arrived at Li City University. She was young and inexperienced. She muttered softly, “That man is… Qiao Xi, is he your…”

After Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng got married, although it was not made public, they did not deliberately hide it either. It was just that their marriage was not officially announced. However, everyone knew that Qiao Xi was married. They just did not know who her husband was.

Song Xiao found the man in front of her very familiar. She seemed to have seen him pick up Qiao Xi before. She thought for a moment and came to a realization. “Ah! He’s Gu Zheng! Gu Zheng, right?”

Qiao Xi smiled and nodded.

Song Xiao said excitedly, “He’s the richest man in the country! He has always been very low-profile and rarely shows his face. The photos of him from before were all very blurry. Now, I’ve finally seen him in person! Qiao Xi, you actually have such a powerful backer!”
