Chapter 24: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (24)

Gu Ci opened his mouth and ate the rib.

How does it taste?

Gu Ci: "It's alright."

Qin Qin, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised that he could actually hear Gu Ci making such a normal comment about his own dishes.

It used to be: too old, too salty, too bland, too bitter...

It made him doubt countless times that he shouldn't be the head chef, but should be washing dishes in the restaurant instead.

Wen Wan picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of pork rib, and ate it. It was sweet and fragrant; she had never heard of such delicious pork ribs in her life. So, she reservedly picked up another piece, and another...

Seeing the male lead beside him, and the host actually getting carried away with eating, the system quickly reminded him, "[The male lead is waiting for you to feed him, don't just focus on eating yourself! Think about your legs.]"

Wen Yan: "..."

Damn! Beauty is worthless compared to delicious food, okay?

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Wen Wan picked up a jade dumpling and put it into Gu Ci's bowl. "This jade dumpling looks delicious."

Gu Ci picked up a spoon, scooped up a jade dumpling from the bowl, took a bite, and said, "It's alright."

Wen Wan thought that President Gu didn't seem to be a picky eater. She ate a jade dumpling and then widened her eyes. After that, every time Gu Ci picked up a dish, Wen Wan had to take a bite herself.

"This is steamed fish with fermented black beans."

"Little green vegetables".

"Seven Treasures Glazed Eight Treasures Porridge".

"..."

Qin Qin went from surprise to numbness, then looked at Assistant Chen next to her with a look in her eyes: Has your boss changed his ways?

Assistant Chen: Maybe that's the magic of love.

Qin Qin: What about your boss's OCD?

Assistant Chen: Maybe they can't see it.

The two of them were exchanging glances, and Wen Wan fed Gu Ci while also feeding herself, not neglecting herself at all.

When I finished eating, I even let out a shy burp.

"Brother Qin, I will definitely bring my baby to eat here in the future. Your cooking skills are comparable to those of a chef who cooks for state banquets."

Qin Qin was very happy. After being repeatedly defeated by Gu Ci's silver tongue, Gu's wife finally knew how to eat.

"Of course, it's free for you to come, sister-in-law."

"Free is not an option, just give me a 10% discount, and my husband will pay, right, Aci?"

Gu Ci nodded.

Qin Qin: Has President Gu been possessed by a soul?

When the two returned home, Wen Wan helped Gu Ci out of the car. "Assistant Chen, you've worked hard. Ci will definitely give you a raise in your year-end bonus this year."

Assistant Chen was delighted. "Thank you, Madam."

After handing the guide cane to Wen Wan, Assistant Chen left.

Xiao Jiaojiao and Xiao Xuanxuan ran out when they heard the commotion. The nanny couldn't stop them. Xiao Jiaojiao rushed towards Wen Wan like a cannonball. Wen Wan picked up the child and asked, "Was Jiaojiao good today?"

"Good girl, Jiaojiao is very good."

Then, her eyes were fixed on her father. Wen Wan noticed that the child didn't dare to approach Gu Ci. "Jiaojiao, kiss your daddy. Are you happy that Daddy's back?"

Little Jiaojiao: "Happy!"

Then, encouraged by Wen Wan, she leaned closer to her father and kissed him on the cheek.

The baby's milky scent dissipated instantly, and Gu Ci felt as if a seemingly indestructible area deep within her heart had been touched.

"Let's go inside first, it's windy outside."

Wen Wan put Jiao Jiao down. "Jiao Jiao, take your brother home with your hand. Mommy will take your father's hand."

"good."

Seeing the two little ones holding hands in front of her, Wen Wan pulled Gu Ci, "Let's go, honey."

husband?

Gu Ci's heart skipped a beat.

The nannies were overjoyed to see Gu Ci return. The lady had waited so long, and they never expected that the master would actually come back. The family was complete again, and the lady would never cry again.

Wen Wan helped Gu Ci to the sofa. Gu Ci still didn't take off his sunglasses at home, and Wen Wan didn't mention it. After all, it's normal for a domineering CEO who pursues perfection to not want others to see this temporary flaw.

“Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan, come sit next to your dad.”

Little Jiaojiao had just kissed her father, so she became a little bolder and tugged at Gu Ci's sleeve, saying, "Daddy, it hurts, Jiaojiao will blow on it for you."

Xiao Jiaojiao is short; when she stands up, her breath only reaches Gu Ci's neck.

These two children don't like to be close to him on a regular basis, and he doesn't know how to get along with them.

Wen Wan looked at Gu Ci from the side.

The ice was cold to the child as well, so she said with a wronged expression and exaggerated gesture, "Is no one going to take care of me anymore? Daddy's back, and the child doesn't want Mommy anymore."

Little Jiaojiao ran into Wen Wan's arms, her soft laughter ringing out.

"Jiaojiao loves her mother the most."

Xuanxuan sat quietly next to Gu Ci. Wen Wan looked at the two of them, one big and one small, in a posture that looked like they had been copied and pasted together, and couldn't help but laugh.

The nannies in the distance watched this scene and felt the last gloomy atmosphere that had been weighing on the villa dissipate.

...

After Gu Ci returned, Wen Wan naturally abdicated.

Gu Ci quickly eliminated all of Gu Quan's remaining cronies in the company and appointed a new group of young but capable directors.

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole; even if these pests remain dormant for now, they will eventually cause a major upheaval.

The company has also started a new project, with Gu's Group collaborating with the government to develop the latest educational chip. If this educational chip can be put into use on the market, it will bring about a revolutionary change to the education industry.

Wen Wan was overjoyed that she didn't have to attend meetings, come to work, or sign documents, but she still went to Qin Qin's place to pack food to bring to the company for Gu Ci, in order to solidify her temporary persona.

Gu Ci went to a meeting, and Wen Wan was in her office.

"Honey, how's reader satisfaction?"

System: [40/100, Host, please keep up the good work! Everything is moving in the best possible direction.]

The system is happy too.

The moment the male lead returned, reader satisfaction increased significantly.

"I'm 40! Let me think, once Gu Ci meets the female lead and realizes I'm not the same female lead who ran away after sleeping with him for three days, if I cause some trouble to promote their relationship, can I then run away?"

[According to the system's calculations regarding the plot development, yes.]

"Are your calculations accurate?"

It's definitely more regular than your monthly period.

"That's really unfortunate, my period is never regular."

system:【……】

—

The other side of the conference room.

"This is the solution you've given me?"

"Is this what someone earning a million-dollar annual salary should be given to me?"

"Have the board members recently retired and become so weak-willed?"

The board members below didn't dare to move, like quails.

The project proposal was thoroughly criticized, but no one dared to refute it.

Just then, a phone rang, and the people below dared not even breathe.

"Whose call was that? Did I tell you to put your phone on silent during the meeting?"

Assistant Chen: "Mr. Gu, it's your call."

Gu Ci: "..."

Assistant Chen quickly grabbed Mr. Gu's phone. "It's Madam calling. Should we answer?"

"catch."

As soon as the call connected, Wen Wan said directly, "Aci, haven't you finished your meeting yet? You're half an hour overtime, and the food I brought you is getting cold."

Gu Ci was taken aback. "I'll be there soon."

Okay, love you, mwah!!!

Gu Ci: "..."

Assistant Chen, who was closest to the man, couldn't help but twitch his lips uncontrollably. "Mr. Gu, Madam has been waiting in your office for quite a while."

"Go back and redo this proposal. Meeting adjourned."

Assistant Chen handed the guide cane to President Gu and left with him.

The board members in the conference room breathed a collective sigh of relief, and their respect for the president's wife grew even stronger. After all, only the president's wife could calm down the raging lion.
