Chapter 98 Smooth-talking

Lin Wei's body went limp.

It turns out that getting extremely angry really can harm your health.

Lin Wei felt completely drained of energy.

How could someone be so shameless?

After a while, Lin Wei gradually calmed down in the man's arms.

She looked up at Gu Jingcheng in front of her.

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Gu Jingcheng frowned.

He didn't know why Lin Wei treated Gu Xuan that way.

If it's just a breakup between lovers, there won't be that much hatred.

He recalled what Lin Wei had said when they first met.

Gu Xuan owes her several lives.

At that time, he only felt it was absurd.

Now it seems there's some truth to it.

What exactly did Weiwei go through?

It burdened her with sorrow and hatred that she shouldn't have at such a young age, when she was only in her early twenties.

Gu Jingcheng wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin Wei's eyes with his hand.

His voice was deep.

"Weiwei, I will always be the man standing behind you."

I am your husband, and that will never change.

From now on, I'll protect you.

Lin Wei's eyes flickered, and a warm feeling welled up inside her.

She gave Gu Jingcheng a faint smile.

She was very happy that Gu Jingcheng could tell her these things.

However, she was a little scared.

Those traumas are still vivid in my mind.

She really is like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is afraid of ropes for ten years.

She was scared.

I fear that my joy will be dashed again.

I fear that my unwavering trust will be betrayed by others.

"Thanks."

Lin Wei withdrew the hand that Gu Jingcheng was holding.

She calmed down a lot and distanced herself from Gu Jingcheng.

Qin Simiao walked to the office door in a few steps.

He looked like he was taking credit for something.

"President Lin, I've gotten rid of that madman."

Upon suddenly seeing the two people in the office, he hesitated for a moment.

My uncle wasn't in the office just now, where did he suddenly appear from?

He sensed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange and odd.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

Gu Jingcheng stood very close to Lin Wei. Lin Wei's eyes were red. Had she been crying?

Qin Simiao's heart skipped a beat.

An absurd idea popped into my head.

These two...could they be having an affair?

Isn't my uncle newly married? Lin Wei doesn't seem like the type to knowingly become a mistress.

Qin Simiao shook his head, and two little figures were fighting in his mind.

Lin Wei coughed lightly, her voice regaining its calm tone.

"Qin Simiao, you did a great job today. You're allowed to leave work early as a reward."

Qin Simiao exclaimed in disbelief, "Holy crap, what a stroke of luck!"

He's been in Jiangcheng for over half a month, working nine to five every day.

I've been tired of this for ages, so I'm surprised I was able to leave work early today.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin! Now, shall I be going?"

Qin Simiao thanked him verbally, but his feet were already moving out, slipping away as fast as the wind.

I finally got off work early, and tomorrow is the weekend.

He needs to go and relax.

The office door closed again, and the room fell silent once more.

Only the soft breathing of the two remained.

Lin Wei turned and walked to her desk, picked up her phone, and read: 5:00 PM.

Time flies, and a day has passed.

I remembered Gu Jingcheng saying that I would go to his house that night.

Lin Wei's heart began to beat rapidly again.

My ears were burning hot.

She took a deep breath before looking up at Gu Jingcheng.

"You...you should go back first too."

Gu Jingcheng's gaze remained fixed on her. Instead of leaving, he took a step closer.

His tall figure loomed over them, his voice alluring.

"I'll leave work with you."

Lin Wei's heart beat a little faster.

If we leave work together and walk out of the company together, wouldn't that give us away?

"No, you...you wait for me in the basement."

Lin Wei's cheeks were burning hot as she pushed against the man's muscular chest with both hands.

Create some distance.

They are a legally married couple, but they act like they're stealing each other.

Her heart was pounding uncontrollably in her chest.

It looked like it was about to jump out of his throat.

Gu Jingcheng's lips unconsciously curled up as he looked at her shy yet trying-to-be-composed appearance.

He couldn't resist getting closer, cupping her small, delicate face in his hands, and giving her a quick kiss.

"Okay, your husband is waiting for you in the basement."

"You...you..."

The word "rogue" stuck in Lin Wei's throat, and she glared at him.

Gu Jingcheng was quite satisfied with the woman's expression, and with a wicked grin, he strode away.

Lin Wei's body felt as if it were nailed to the carpet, her cheeks still damp with the man's lips.

A sweet feeling spread wildly through my heart.

I steadied myself against the table, which helped me calm down.

A faint smile curved at the corners of her lips.

-

Gu Jingcheng had just reached the elevator lobby when he encountered the elevator doors about to close.

A hand reached out from inside and quickly blocked the door.

"Uncle! Let's go together!"

Qin Simiao greeted him warmly, and as Gu Jingcheng stepped inside,

He couldn't contain his excitement, his eyes shining.

"Uncle, it's rare that I got off work early today!"

I heard that the Haojiang No. 8 Club in Jiangcheng is very lively. Shall we go have some fun together?

My treat!

Gu Jingcheng glanced at him expressionlessly. This nephew of his really was a leopard that couldn't change its spots...

I just love those brightly lit, bustling places.

He shook his ringed hand and coldly uttered two words.

"Married."

Qin Simiao choked for a moment.

Looking at his uncle's smug,

He gave a disgruntled snort.

He muttered to himself.

"Hmph, so what if she's married? What's the big deal... If you don't want to go, fine!"

I'll go by myself!

The elevator took us to the underground parking garage, where Gu Jingcheng sat inside the Rolls-Royce.

Adjust the car's interior temperature to a comfortable level.

Lin Wei waited with great joy and anticipation.

Lin Wei tidied up briefly.

She entered the elevator carrying her white Chanel handbag.

I hesitated, wondering whether I should call my father.

Tell him she won't be coming back tonight.

She could imagine that if she told her father the truth, he would definitely object.

She could vaguely sense that her father didn't like Gu Jingcheng very much.

I wonder if it's because Gu Jingcheng is Gu Xuan's uncle.

But right now, she doesn't have the energy to make her father like Gu Jingcheng.

Because she and Gu Jingcheng were secretly married.

She herself doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Lin Wei stepped out of the elevator, hesitated for a moment,

I still sent Lin Yaocheng a voice message.

"Dad, I'm not going home tonight. I'll stay with Shi Nuan."

After sending the message, she breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the only way I can fool my father for now.

She saw Gu Jingcheng's black Rolls-Royce with its hazard lights on from a distance.

She looked around to make sure no one was there before carefully walking over.

He opened the passenger door and got in.

This set of movements is fluid and graceful, with a strong sense of stealth.

Gu Jingcheng looked at her with great interest.

"Ms. Lin, did your husband find out you secretly got into my car?"

Lin Wei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at him irritably.

How come I never noticed before that Gu Jingcheng is this kind of person?

glib and smooth-talking...

Muttering to himself.

"drive."

Gu Jingcheng's eyebrows curved into a smile.

Start the car.

The black Rolls-Royce slowly drove out of the underground parking lot.
