017: You and your wife don’t seem to know each other well.

It only took Xu Yao a few days to eliminate Gu Jun's vigilance towards her.

Xu Yao was completely open about everything she did, including her pre-marital affairs, the family debts, and her mother's plans to remarry. She truly had every intention of maintaining a healthy family relationship with Gu Jun. Gu Jun, on the other hand, wasn't open enough. After telling one lie, he needed to tell many more to maintain his persona.

When Gu Jun hurriedly left the Shen family cocktail party, he had no idea that Xu Yao would be harassed, nor did he know how Xu Yao would defend him in front of Tang Hao and the others.

Even so, Xu Yao's casual remark that she still remembered Gu Jun's graduation speech ten years ago still had a great impact on Gu Jun.

How could Xu Yao remember what he said?

Ten years ago, the two of them had very different family backgrounds. How could his expectations for the future be worth remembering by a rich girl like Xu Yao!

Gu Jun suddenly didn't know what to say.

Even though he was now a billionaire, he was afraid to meet Xu Yao's eyes, even though she was bankrupt and in debt. He was afraid that Xu Yao would follow up on this topic and talk about something deeper. Gu Jun's subconscious resistance solidified into a superficial indifference: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

This time Xu Yao felt that Gu Jun's mood had changed.

Gu Jun's sudden indifference defeated Xu Yao's desire to talk about sex, and her enthusiasm was extinguished: "Good night!"

The two of them stood up from the sofa rather awkwardly and walked towards different bedrooms.

Hearing the sound of the door closing opposite, Xu Yao frowned heavily.

Every time she thought she was getting closer to Gu Jun, he would become indifferent again.

Gu Jun looks handsome and cultured, but he is actually very wary. He built an invisible wall to prevent Xu Yao from getting close to him.

——It’s really incomprehensible.

Xu Yao thought, could she want something from Gu Jun?

Even if Gu Jun said that he would give her the Shenghai Garden house after the divorce, she would not take it!

Xu Yao and Gu Jun had no emotional foundation to begin with. Xu Yao's initiative to get close to Gu Jun was extinguished by Gu Jun. She was too lazy to make any more efforts and began to treat Gu Jun with a template attitude the next day.

Xu Yao no longer buys breakfast for Gu Jun.

For several days in a row, when Gu Jun went out to work, he saw the dining table was empty.

This should have made Gu Jun feel safe at a distance, but Gu Jun was not used to it.

In the afternoon, Xu Yao would no longer take the initiative to text Gu Jun to ask him what time he would get off work. Gu Jun was distracted several times during meetings and always subconsciously looked at his phone screen.

The screen is not lit.

No news.

Gu Jun's lips were pressed into a line.

Jiang Zhiyan felt that Gu Jun was a little strange but couldn't put his finger on where it was. When it was almost time to get off work, Jiang Zhiyan asked Gu Jun, "Are you going to stay at the company to work overtime tonight or go home to be with your wife?"

Gu Jun raised his eyes to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Zhiyan coughed dryly, "Mingjia wanted to treat us to dinner, but you know it was just a pretext. That girl is still obsessed with you. I rejected her twice, but she kept pestering me like an indestructible cockroach. And I didn't know if I could tell her about your marriage...so my rejection was weak!"

Jiang Zhiyan suspected that Gu Jun had quarreled with his new wife.

The evidence is that Gu Jun came to the company without bringing breakfast!

Wasn’t it said that his wife was a high school classmate whom he knew well? They had only been married for a few days and they started to have conflicts. Jiang Zhiyan felt that the emotional foundation between Gu Jun and his new wife was not that deep.

Gu Jun frowned when he heard Jiang Mingjia's name.

Jiang Mingjia is a very confident young lady. If she likes Gu Jun, she must pursue him. Gu Jun's clear rejection and alienation and indifference did not make Jiang Mingjia give up, but instead aroused her greater interest.

The Jiang family was happy to see Jiang Mingjia pursuing Gu Jun. Not only did they not stop Jiang Mingjia from expressing her love, they also helped create opportunities.

Logically, if Gu Jun wanted to make Jiang Mingjia give up, he should have let her know about his marriage immediately. However, Jiang Mingjia was too proud to give in so easily. Gu Jun could guess how Jiang Mingjia would react. She would dig up all the information about Xu Yao and then do everything in her power to make Xu Yao give up and file for divorce!

"Don't tell her yet."

Gu Jun affirmed Jiang Zhiyan's caution, "Promise her to have dinner first, and then tell her I'm busy when you see her in the evening."

Jiang Zhiyan was embarrassed. "You've used this trick several times. Mingjia is not a fool. How can she be fooled every time? Otherwise, why not tell her? She may not accept it at first and make a fuss for a while, but after she calms down, she will have to accept the fact!"

Jiang Zhiyan still has some filter when it comes to his sister.

Gu Jun and Jiang Zhiyan looked at each other, "Are you sure she'll only make a scene for a while?"

Jiang Zhiyan lost his confidence and grumbled, "You can't hide the news of your marriage from Mingjia forever! I really don't know what you're trying to do. You don't let your wife know you're the boss of Huahu, and you don't announce your marriage. Mingjia still doesn't know about your marriage. Doesn't that mean she's still unwilling to give up?"

Jiang Zhiyan's words touched upon Gu Jun's unspeakable worries.

Gu Jun is now in a dilemma.

It was just a small matter that Xu Yao didn't buy him breakfast. The house in Shenghai Garden was still too big. He and Xu Yao had their own bedrooms and offices, so they didn't have to meet each other when they returned home at night!

Even if they met in the living room when drinking water, Xu Yao would just smile politely.

Xu Yao no longer takes the initiative to share her life and work with Gu Jun!

Gu Jun regretted this very much.

A house without anyone at home doesn’t feel like home, and it’s even more uncomfortable when there are people at home but no communication.

Hearing Jiang Zhiyan's mumbling, Gu Jun's heart moved. Isn't this a ready-made reason to talk to Xu Yao?

Gu Jun edited a message and sent it to Xu Yao: "I have a social event tonight. My boss's sister is here and asked me to have dinner with her. I just realized I don't have my keys. If you're going back early, please leave the door open for me."

Gu Jun is quite scheming.

This is a text message that can be forwarded or backward.

No matter whether Xu Yao gets off work early or late, he doesn't bring the key to his house. Xu Yao can't just ignore him, right?

Or, Xu Yao would ask him why he needed to have dinner with "the boss's sister".

Gu Jun used all his business strategies on Xu Yao, but Xu Yao did not play by the rules. After a while, Xu Yao replied to him: I'll ask someone to bring the keys to you now. I forgot to tell you that there is a promotional shoot scheduled in another place and I have to leave tonight.

What does coming home early or late have to do with Xu Yao?

Xu Yao will not go home tonight!

Xu Yao usually shoots promotional videos at home, but this time she has to go out of town?

Gu Jun was very surprised. He didn't care that Jiang Zhiyan was still in the office. Gu Jun directly called Xu Yao: "Are you leaving now? Where are you going? How long will the filming take? Can you handle it alone?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yao was in a somewhat noisy environment, and she said she was already at the high-speed rail station.

"The shoot is in a neighboring city, and the duration is tentatively set for one day. If everything goes well, I'll be home tomorrow night. I'm not going alone. Besides the filming crew, I'm also bringing an assistant. Okay, I'll stop talking to you for now. My assistant reminded me it's time to get in the car!"

Xu Yao hung up the phone, but Gu Jun was still in a daze.

We haven't spoken much in just a few days, and Xu Yao has not only accepted a promotional offer for a filming out of town, but has even hired an assistant?!

It was Gu Jun's suggestion to hire an assistant, and Xu Yao never told him about it.

Gu Jun looked up again, and Jiang Zhiyan laughed at him frivolously: "You and your wife don't seem to know each other very well."
