Chapter 26: Floating Clouds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Liao finally realized what Xie Ru was thinking about. It was also the first time he realized the ambiguity of Gu Zhe’s name.

“Were you out just now?” Gu Liao looked at Xie Ru suspiciously. Just when something happened to Gu Zhe, Xie Ru was away. Could it be…?

“I went to the bathroom earlier.”

“Isn’t there one in the room? Why did you come in from the other side of the house?”

Xie Ru’s face was red as her hands tightly gripped the hem of her skirt. “There are some things that I had to deal with Aunt Chen. Please don’t ask any further.”

“Aunt Chen is so busy. Next time, you can ask me for help.”

“It’s just my period. Will you still be able to help me with it?”

Xie Ru hid under the blanket angrily as she asked. She knew that she couldn’t ask him for help even if she used her brain to think.

“Well, I’m… sorry.” Gu Liao stammered as his hand moved and hung in the air awkwardly, the very same hand that was used to signing contracts worth tens of millions of large orders. His conflicted look would have shocked many of his subordinates.

“It’s okay.” Xie Ru breathed a sigh of relief. When Gu Liao looked at her suspiciously just now, she almost told him that she had indeed beaten up Gu Zhe. It was really his fault!

The room was suddenly enveloped by an ambiguous atmosphere. The two of them lingered around each other rather amicably.

At the dining table, Gu Liao suddenly said, “Accompany me to the office today! It’s a good time to go out for a walk.”

It was difficult to reject his offer so Xie Ru nodded.

It was Xie Ru’s first time at the Gu Corporation building. Compared to the Xie family, it was much more imposing. As expected of the number one Gu family in the capital. It was truly their capital.

“Was that the young madam just now? She looks much better in person than in the photo.”

“That’s right. Some people said that Young Master abandoned the young madam. But I think it’s all fake.”

“It must have been gossip from the other family. Young Master Gu hugged the young madam just now. Did you see that? He was so handsome.”

“…”

Xie Ru only knew the reason Gu Liao brought her to the company when she heard the voices of the crowd getting further and further away. Was it really to refute the rumors?

Xie Ru realized how thick-skinned she had been to accept Gu Liao’s invitation with some sort of expectation. But after hearing the words of others, she felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her.

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Gu Liao asked Xie Ru gently. But for Xie Ru, it felt like she had arsenic in her ears. She did not feel comfortable at all.

“No, it’s probably because it’s my first time here so I’m a little nervous.”

“Don’t worry, I’m here.”

Gu Liao held Xie Ru’s hand. Xie Ru thought for a moment, then shook off her worries. Who cares? As long as this man was by her side, he was hers. Anything the old master of the Gu family said would all be for naught.

“Okay.”

In the office, Gu Liao gave his phone to Xie Ru for her to watch her favorite comedic sketches as he worked not far away. Meanwhile, Xiao Gu leisurely nestled next to Xie Ru’s leg.

The dog narrowed its eyes as it felt Xie Ru caress his back continuously. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and was startled. It turned out that it was from the gaze of the male owner who was looking at him from afar.

Xiao Gu gave a light bark as if it was looking down on the male owner.

As the secretary was reporting Gu Liao’s schedule for the coming days, he looked up at Young Master Gu and realized that the latter was having a wordless battle of wits with the dog.

This was completely different from the usual wise and divine Young Master Gu. Could this be a man in love?

“Young Master Gu, this is your schedule for the next few days. In five days, it will be the Xie family’s old master’s birthday banquet. Do you want to prepare the present in advance?”

Gu Liao nodded. “Prepare it based on the standard we usually have for Grandfather. Also, prepare Gu Zhe’s portion.”

“Yes, Young Master Gu.”

Gu Liao glanced at Xie Ru and sighed slightly.

Xie Ru had her head lowered and her eyes were slightly red. When her parents were still alive, her grandfather treated her the best. In just one night, everything changed. He actually allowed her second uncle and his family to treat her like this.

Did anyone truly know how much effort they had put into the marriage between the Gu and Xie families? Was it to show off to Xie Ru’s parents?

If her parents knew, would they resent him?

“Head Secretary, did you see how the young master and young madam got along?”

The head secretary coughed dryly and slowly said, “Of course. How can you believe what’s written on the internet? Of course, they want to be lovebirds in the sky and intertwining branches on Earth.”

The people around Gu Liao were unexpectedly fond of gossiping, unlike the more serious and decent ones.

“Young Madam.”

“Well, is it convenient for you to take me around?”

“Yes, Young Madam. Please, come this way..”
