Mr. Bo, my wife is going on a date with someone again.

Chapter 873 Ending

"..." Xie Fangze's eyes nearly rolled to the sky. "I think my wife went abroad because she was attracted by the designer's influence in the industry. She went there to learn something. She wants to make a living from one order for three years, not to just make enough money to make ends meet."

Although the clients introduced by Mr. Gu are not short of money, they still charge a price that matches their status. Considering my wife's current achievements, it would not be appropriate to charge too high, but if he charges too little, he will suffer losses in the future.

What's more, once people are busy, they no longer have the time to think about design or innovation, they just want to finish the work quickly.

Afraid that his words would offend Gu Chenye and he would fire him in anger, Xie Fang glanced left and right guiltily while speaking, and this glance caught sight of Yan Ji standing under the street light.

"Mrs.... Madam?" He widened his eyes in surprise and poked Gu Chenye, who was silent beside him: "Mr. Gu, Madam, Madam is here to pick you up."

Gu Chenye suspected that he had practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and endured the pain and said unhappily: "Are you sick?"

Even so, he subconsciously followed Xie Fangze's gaze. The moment he saw Yan Ji, his entire body froze visibly: "...Why are you here?"

"So, you called them all?"

Yan Ji walked closer to him, her high heels making sounds on the ground, and every step seemed to be stepping on Gu Chenye's heart.

"No," he hastily denied, "I just handed over a business card. Whether they go or not is up to them. If you don't like it, I won't give it to them again."

When she walked in front of him, they were the only two left on the stairs, and Xie Fang had already run away.

Gu Chenye reached out and felt the temperature of her hand, feeling it was a little cold. He frowned and took off his coat and put it on her: "Why are you here?"

He didn't believe what Xie Fangze said, that Yan Ji came to pick him up specially.

"I noticed the store's business was unusually good, so I asked a customer who had come to the store. She gave me an invitation and said I might find the answer at this banquet."

Yan Ji looked at him quietly, his expression calm and without any fluctuation.

Gu Chenye pursed his lips: "I'll take you back."

"Don't do that again, I won't be grateful to you."

"Ha," the man sneered at himself. Under the light, his eyes flickered with a faint light, and he looked like he was about to break. "Do you think I do this to make you grateful? Yan Ji, you..."

He stared at Yan Ji's infuriating face and bit his tongue hard to prevent himself from saying anything more unpleasant. He felt like he was a poisonous Amanita mushroom and could kill himself by just licking his lips.

Gu Chenye took a deep breath and grabbed her hand without saying anything: "I'll take you home."

"No, I drove."

“I didn’t drive.”

Yan Ji looked at the familiar Bentley not far away and stopped: "Gu Chenye..."

"Shut up."

He was probably very angry, and every word he said was heavy. He didn't ask where Yan Ji's car was parked, but dragged her around the parking lot aimlessly looking for it.

"You also said that if you wanted, the women chasing you would line up from here to the outer ring."

"I only want you."

"I do not like you."

"I like you."

"But your behavior has troubled me, Gu Chenye. I don't want to see you."

"Bear it."

"..."

After circling around for who knows how many times, Gu Chenye finally found Yan Ji's car in a corner. He forcefully took the key out of her bag, unlocked the car, and half-pulled and half-dragged her into the passenger seat.

He fastened her seatbelt, but after he was done, he didn't stand up immediately. Instead, he propped himself up against the back of the chair, trapping her between his body and the seat. With red eyes, he looked down at her and said, "What I did during this period wasn't to make you grateful. I just wanted to keep you. As long as you're in China, it's fine, even if it has nothing to do with me."

But at least he could see her anytime and anywhere as long as he wanted.

Yan Ji was about to speak when Gu Chenye covered his mouth. The man's eyes were red. "Listen to me, I asked the teacher you studied abroad. She said you are very smart and there is nothing she can teach you anymore, so you can stay in China. If you are trying to avoid me, I promise you that I will never appear in front of you again if you don't want me to."

"You can do whatever you want with Ma Shuguo and Zeng's wife. As for the Yan family, if you want them to publicly acknowledge your identity, I'll do it. Back home, you have the store you've worked so hard on, Sheng Rugu, and Xiaobai who cares about you. You're more accustomed to food, clothing, and daily necessities than abroad. Are you going to give them up for those unimportant people?"

Gu Chenye's voice echoed in the small carriage, heavy and sad, because he was one of those unimportant people.

If it were any other time, Yan Ji would have refused without even waiting for him to finish. In her opinion, whether she went abroad or not had nothing to do with Gu Chenye. But when she saw his nervous expression, her heart softened inexplicably, and she couldn't say the rejection that was about to come out of her mouth.

But that's about it.

After a long silence, she said, "Let's drive."

On the way back, neither of them spoke. The car's speakers were connected to the phone's Bluetooth and were playing international news. Yan Ji felt something was wrong as he listened. Why were there only news about robbery, shooting, theft, urination and defecation in public, and molestation of single women?

The car stopped in front of the store, and he finally couldn't help but say, "Yan Ji, don't go."

Yan Ji turned his head to look at the store. It was already this late, and Xiaobai was still taking customers to look at sample clothes. Even through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could feel her heartfelt joy.

Looking at her smiling face, Yan Ji's mind flashed back to what Sheng Rugu had talked about with her last night about the future: "Xiao Ji, the business in the store is good now, and the turnover is increasing. I want to renovate the store in another month, and we will move towards the high-end market."

When she said this, her eyes were full of anticipation for the future, and they were bright.

During the few minutes of her silence, Gu Chenye's panic reached its peak. He rolled down the car window, took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. When he lowered his head to light it, he remembered that Yan Ji was still in the car, so he put it back.

Yan Ji opened the car door and said, "Don't take it upon yourself to help me attract business in the future. I don't need the Yan family to recognize me. Let's just leave it at that. It's good for everyone... Also, don't be so annoying all the time."

When she was being bullied the worst, she desperately wanted them to reveal their identities in front of everyone, and even thought about reporting them to the death. But then she realized that it was okay, as not every child is destined to be together with their parents.

Gu Chenye: "..."

He chewed over Yan Ji's words countless times, and only when he was about to reach the door did he come to his senses, suddenly pushed the door open and got out of the car: "Are you not leaving?"

Yan Ji reached out to pull the door handle, turned around, and curled his lips at the man with a look of joy and nervousness.

The bright and dazzling light fell on the corner of her lips. Gu Chenye's whole body softened and he leaned against the car door in a relaxed manner. The world that had been gloomy for a long time seemed to be cast with a beam of light.
