Chapter 85: Does he really have a wife? Chen Song's footsteps...
Chen Song paused, unsure how to explain this to Wu Xuan. It was clearly Gu Xingjue who had been caught acting crazy, so why was he so embarrassed? It was as if he had been the one going crazy that day, not Gu Xingjue.
It was not yet seven o'clock, and there were only a few people walking around in the hall. Wu Xuan spoke softly, and only Chen Song could hear her, but Chen Song stood there without moving, still with his back to Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan realized that she had offended Chen Song, so she quickly spoke faster and said in one breath, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I really won't tell anyone. Can you please pretend that I didn't see anything and don't ask Mr. Gu to fire me?"
That night, Wu Xuan was exhausted after returning from her late shift. She didn't even bother to wash up and just went straight to bed. In the staff dormitory, the beds were attached to the wall. A man, crying and calling out "wife, wife," with all the fuss and "wife, don't leave, wife, I don't want you," had literally dragged her out of her sleep.
Even with her earplugs in and her head buried in the pillow, the man's cries were still resounding. Furious, she opened the door and started yelling. And then… And then, the man she was yelling at turned out to be her boss.
She had been at Yile for almost a year, having been hired through the backdoor by Gu Xingjue. Although she was a receptionist with little to do and a low salary of only 8,000 yuan a month, Gu Xingjue still gave her a separate salary of 20,000 yuan each month.
All she had to do was pay more attention to a doctor named "Chen Song" and find opportunities to take a few photos of Chen Song for Gu Xingjue.
Wu Xuan worked at the front desk and saw Chen Song almost every day, so completing her work was not difficult at all. At first, she thought Gu Xingjue was spying on Chen Song and that the two had a grudge. Until one day, the boss across the street asked her:
【BOSS】: Is he unhappy recently?
Wu Xuan:?
[Lai Cai Lai]: Does it look like he is unhappy in the photo?
[BOSS]: Hmm
Wu Xuan actually wanted to say that he was just like that. In all the time she had observed Chen Song, she had never seen him smile. He was cold, like winter snow, so pure and chilly that even the blazing August sun couldn't melt him. He was as cold as a robot, unable to sense any of his emotions.
However, Chen Song in the photo was indeed more depressed than usual. Wu Xuan thought about it carefully and thought that it might be because he was too busy in recent days, so busy that he didn't eat or drink, and didn't sleep, so his complexion looked much worse.
She told Gu Xingjue that she was tired from work and that it shouldn't be a big deal. When she thought Gu Xingjue would not reply, he continued to ask what Chen Song was busy with and why he didn't even have time to rest. Wu Xuan had no idea, but she had to arrange everything her boss asked, so she asked someone to find out about Chen Song and told Gu Xingjue about it.
Later, Gu Xingjue would always ask her what Chen Song had done that day, every day. Wu Xuan's workload also increased, and she was even suspected of having a crush on Chen Song. Only then did Wu Xuan suddenly realize that their relationship was not simple.
She was extremely curious about the relationship between the two, but Wu Xuan didn't dare to inquire about her boss's private affairs. It wasn't until that night when she caught her aloof boss, crying and clasping his hands around Chen Song's thighs, that her suspicions were confirmed.
Wu Xuan is very excited and thrilled, the CP they are shipping is real!
She was so excited she couldn't sleep the whole night, but after the excitement wore off, she realized what was happening and scolded Gu Xingjue profusely. She didn't dare to message him again, let alone bring up the matter. She didn't know if she should come to work again, or tell him about Chen Song's daily life, but she couldn't lose this job!
Where else can you find such a good job where you can make money and also support couples? She can't lose her job.
"Can I?" Wu Xuan cautiously asked, "I really won't say anything nonsense. I, I really need this job."
Chen Song took a deep breath, turned around and said to her, "It's okay, don't worry too much. He won't do that."
"Really"
"real."
"Okay, okay." Wu Xuan felt as if she had been pardoned. Since Chen Song said so, Gu Xingjue would definitely not fire her again.
After all, Gu Xingjue is obviously a henpecked man, so he will definitely do whatever Chen Song says.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen. Thank you for your trouble. Go ahead and do your work."
"good."
When Chen Song arrived at the office, Ye Wenzhou came surprisingly early and was sitting in front of Chen Song's computer desk, flipping through something.
Seeing Chen Song coming, he said happily, "Boss."
"Yeah." Chen Song walked over to the computer. "You came pretty early today."
He was about to pick up a document when a red invitation suddenly fell on it.
"That's right, I came to bring you good news early in the morning."
The red card reflected in Chen Song's eyes, making them light up. He put down the documents, picked up the invitation, and opened it to read.
"We're getting married next Wednesday. For the sake of your good disciple, please take a day off."
Chen Song closed the invitation and smiled: "I didn't expect you to get married so early."
"Oh, I never thought I'd meet the right person. It's already late, we should have gotten married a long time ago. We've got the marriage certificate, but we haven't had the wedding yet. Because of her grandmother's issue, it was postponed for almost two months. It's already October."
Chen Song put the invitation into the drawer, picked up the documents again, sat on a chair nearby and looked through them: "It was delayed a bit, but as long as the result is good, it's fine."
"Hahaha, yeah. What's that called? Happiness comes late." Ye Wenzhou stood up and offered his seat to Chen Song, then put his arm around his shoulder and said with a grin, "Some of the bridesmaids are gorgeous. There's a lot of people coming to the wedding, too. If you take a fancy to any of the beauties, tell me and I'll introduce you."
Chen Song flipped through a page of medical records and said with a smile, "I like men."
"No problem, there will definitely be many great generals by then...ah?" Ye Wenzhou didn't react for a moment and looked at Chen Song in shock, "Big boss? You were just kidding, right?"
"I'm not kidding." Chen Song's smile faded a little, but he still looked gentle. "So don't bother with me. Don't worry about my affairs."
This was the first time Chen Song had confessed his love for a man, and he wasn't afraid or nervous. He had long considered Ye Wenzhou a friend he could talk to. He also believed that even if Ye Wenzhou knew, he wouldn't be disgusted, but at most would be a little shocked.
Ye Wenzhou was indeed like that, and he quickly digested the matter naturally. He also had a gay friend, so it was not surprising: "No wonder you are so young and promising but don't have a girlfriend. I was wondering, how could you be so handsome without a girlfriend? So that's how it is."
"Do you have a boyfriend now?" Ye Wenzhou sat back in his chair and asked curiously.
"No." Chen Song closed the document, took a pen and hung it on his pocket, then stood up. "Let's go and find a room."
Ye Wenzhou followed him: "Then which handsome guy did you fancy at the wedding? I can help you find out."
Chen Song patted his shoulder lightly: "Is this your wedding banquet or my blind date?"
Ye Wenzhou laughed: "Isn't this the transmission of happiness? I'm passing my happiness to you. You must catch it well. When the time comes, you come to grab the bouquet, and I'll ask my wife to throw it to you."
Chen Song chuckled softly.
Happy...huh?
These two simple words were rarely seen in Chen Song's first half of his life.
…
On the day of Ye Wenzhou's wedding, the weather was crisp and clear, and the golden osmanthus was fragrant. The wedding banquet was held in a five-star hotel, with many guests coming and going.
Chen Song wasn't really used to being in a place with so many people, but luckily he wasn't alone; Dong Jingming was with him. When the two of them arrived at the entrance to the hall, Ye Wenzhou, dressed in a white suit, was standing there greeting guests.
Ye Wenzhou wore light makeup and had a stylish hairstyle today, looking much more handsome and energetic. He stepped forward to greet Chen Song and Dong Jingming when he saw them.
Dong Jingming smiled and said, "Such a handsome groom."
"Very handsome." Chen Song smiled.
Ye Wenzhou remained reserved for only three seconds before chuckling twice: "Not bad, haha. This outfit is really handsome. Come on in and take a seat at table 15. That's where my wife and I have colleagues and friends, all young people, so you'll have something to talk about. Let me know if you like any of them."
"Okay. You go ahead and do your thing. We'll go in first."
"good."
Chen Song followed Dong Jingming into the hall. The wedding venue was decorated exquisitely and luxuriously. The venue was very large. Chen Song looked around and estimated that there were probably hundreds of tables, and some people had already taken their seats.
Table 15 was near the terrace, and quite a few people were already seated there. Dong Jingming and Chen Song greeted them and took their seats. Theirs was the only table filled entirely with young people, and the surrounding tables were filled with relatives, young and old.
Young people had a lot of common topics, and soon everyone started chatting.
Chen Song was a little reserved. At this moment, he felt like he couldn't blend in with the world, like a mute alien. He could only eat some fruit from the previous meal in silence.
Dong Jingming is also a man of few words, but he likes to play with his mobile phone. Occasionally he will say a few words to Chen Song, and Chen Song will slowly relax.
"Do you want to drink?" the girl next to Chen Song asked him, holding a bottle of wine in her hand and ready to pour it for him.
Chen Song paused and thought it didn't matter whether he drank it or not. While he was thinking, the girl smiled and poured him a glass of wine.
"Have a drink. It's a rare happy day for the two of them. The bride and groom will come to toast after the wedding ceremony. Whether you want to drink or not, I'll pour you some first."
The girl had her hair half-braided in a fishtail, and her black hair was curled into a graceful arc. She was wearing an elegant and gentle light blue dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow.
"Yeah." Chen Song watched the red wine flow into the glass, swaying under the light.
After pouring the wine, the girl placed the bottle back on the revolving glass table and turned to look at Chen Song: "Hello, my name is Liu Yuran, and I'm the bride's best friend. How about you?"
"Chen Song. The groom's colleague."
Liu Yuran tilted the wine glass slightly towards Chen Song. Chen Song picked up the glass and clinked it with hers, then took a sip. The wine was a little spicy, but then sweet, with a hint of rose scent.
"So you're a doctor," Liu Yuran also took a sip, dragging his chin as he spoke, "Do you know a patient named Gu Mo? He came into your hospital just two months ago and was splashed with sulfuric acid while trying to save someone."
Chen Song shook the wine glass in his hand, and the deep red wine swirled along the wall of the glass several times.
"Yeah. I know."
"Yeah, he made such a big noise, I guess everyone in the hospital knew about it. What was he doing there suddenly? He looked like a cruel person, but I didn't expect him to save someone. Who did he save?" Liu Yuran didn't look at Chen Song when she spoke, but seemed to be talking to herself.
Chen Song raised his head and drank some wine to moisten his throat: "I don't know."
"Have you seen his wife? That's Mrs. Gu. I heard she's even prettier than a celebrity."
Maybe it was because of the wine, but Chen Song's heart beat faster, and he felt hot and thirsty. The wine was ice-cold, and the more Chen Song drank, the more greedy he became. He took a few more sips, and the glass was empty.
Liu Yuran seemed amused by his silent drinking: "This wine is very strong and has a strong aftereffect. If you drink like this, you will be drunk in a while."
Chen Song put down his wine glass, his head light and fluttering. He looked at Liu Yuran for a long moment before saying, "No."
"Huh? Nothing?" Liu Yuran paused.
"I've never met his wife."
"Okay then," Liu Yuran smiled and took a sip of wine. "It's okay. He'll be here with his wife soon. You can see it. Let's see if there are any good-looking stars."
"Hmm?" Chen Song was stunned for a moment, his half-closed eyes a little blurry, his mind blank for a while, he was a little confused.
Gu Xingjue will come too? And bring his wife with him?
But didn’t Gu Xingjue call him his wife? Wasn’t he already here? Where could Gu Xingjue take her?
Could it be that Gu Xingjue really has a wife?
"Speak of the devil, here they come." Liu Yuran put down his wine glass.
Chen Song's heart sank, and he followed her gaze until it fell to the entrance of the hall.
