?

A big question mark popped into Xu Zhaozhao's mind.

Is this person stupid?

Why are you just sitting at home waiting like an idiot? Why don't you send her a message to ask her what's wrong?

oh.

It turns out I forgot to remove Gu Qingyan from my blacklist.

Xu Zhaozhao also set her only means of communication—Weibo—to "Do Not Disturb."

Whether by coincidence or intentional, the two of them were wearing the same style of black hat.

The staff who had just stepped out of the door were drawn by the news that "Gu Qingyan came to visit the set".

He came running back, huffing and puffing, carrying his things.

It's tiring, but how many chances in this lifetime will I get to see Gu Qingyan alive?!

"Alive! Alive! It really is alive!!"

"Husband! Husband! I waved my hands frantically, my little hands were raw from waving them so much for my husband!!"

"Why is he holding Xu Zhaozhao's hand? Could they be a couple...?"

"Holy crap! I knew they were a real couple! My favorite ship has come true!"

...

Amidst the clamor of conversation, Xu Zhaozhao realized he wasn't wearing a mask.

Why aren't you wearing sunglasses and a mask?!

Xu Zhaozhao glared at him, then shook off his hand and reached for his pocket.

It was completely empty.

This guy never intended to bring it.

Because of her initiative in getting close, this guy took advantage of her and pulled Xu Zhaozhao into his arms.

How should he explain this to her?

He was afraid that if he disguised himself even slightly, Xu Zhaozhao would immediately ignore him.

Just like that, everyone on the street recognized him, and Xu Zhaozhao couldn't ignore him even if she wanted to.

Although there was still some distance between them, Xu Zhaozhao had already seen someone in the crowd take out their phone to take pictures.

Every now and then, a "click" sound could be heard, as if someone had forgotten to mute it.

She raised her hand and gently nudged him, "Gu Qingyan! Someone's taking pictures!"

"It's beautiful, take more pictures."

He refused to let go no matter what, and when Gu Qingyan acted like a rogue, it was truly impossible to resist.

He played with her hair; to match the Republican era setting, her hair had been permed into several small curls, swaying back and forth.

"Is it over so early today?"

The information he received is different from what he received.

Luckily I arrived early, otherwise I wouldn't have even seen my wife.

"no."

Xu Zhaozhao frowned, unsure how to explain this to him, "The movie is canceled, the investors have withdrawn their funding..."

"Oh dear, Xiao Zhao, that's not right!"

Xu Zhaozhao was interrupted by President Wang's voice from behind her before she could finish speaking.

Her body trembled, and she subconsciously moved closer to Gu Qingyan.

He didn't flinch, but happily accepted Xu Zhaozhao's embrace, and then took advantage of the situation by wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

Then, a few glances were cast toward President Wang and Qin Yueling beside them.

Xu Zhaozhao also looked over.

The two people who were just like two pieces of chewing gum stuck together have now parted ways.

Mr. Wang walked ahead, still carrying his briefcase.

Qin Yueling followed behind him, carrying her bag, keeping pace with him.

When he walked up to the two of them, he feigned surprise and asked, "Qingyan, what are you doing here?"

Xu Zhaozhao wanted to laugh when she heard this.

I'll play with you.

The next second, Xu Zhaozhao leaned directly into Gu Qingyan's arms as if she had no bones.

"Sister, aren't we the same kind of people? What are you pretending for?"

"Zhaozhao, I don't understand what you're saying."

Qin Yueling's expression kept changing, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and finally she lowered her head.

It's pointless.

Xu Zhaozhao suddenly didn't want to play with her anymore, and since she had grown bones, she wanted to stand up on her own.

Clearly, it's too late.

Gu Qingyan's large hand had somehow already been placed on his waist, covered by fluffy mink fur.

No one noticed, but it kept her quietly in his arms.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

When the atmosphere became tense, Mr. Wang, being a shrewd individual, spoke up.

"Mr. Gu, it's an honor to meet you."

She bowed and scraped to Gu Qingyan, and was also very perceptive, not reaching out to shake hands.

Gu Qingyan glanced at him; he seemed somewhat familiar, as if they had some business dealings.

Mr. Wang also owns an entertainment company.

The two giants in the entertainment industry were originally Shengting Entertainment and Haotian Entertainment, which were Fu Chengze's companies.

However, after Fu Chengze went to jail, Haotian rapidly declined and is now in the process of filing for bankruptcy.

At this time, Mr. Wang, who had always been third in line, took over most of the advertisers and artists who had been canceled by Haotian, and suddenly became the center of attention.

Gu Qingyan nodded at him, then looked away and took Xu Zhaozhao's bag into his own hand.

Don't bother him, he just wants to take his wife home.

"Oh, Xiao Zhao, if you had just said you were President Gu's woman, I would have definitely given you this face."

"Don't even mention this time, next time, and the time after that, I'll still vote for you out of respect for President Gu!"

Mr. Wang is indeed a shrewd person, but clearly, he went too far this time.

"hehe."

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help herself again; some people are truly born clowns. "Thank you so much, Mr. Wang!"

Gu Qingyan could no longer walk, his brows furrowed tightly.

What does this Mr. Wang do for a living?

Ugh, on my way to win back my wife, there are always treacherous officials trying to harm me.

"What did you call her?"

Gu Qingyan's tone was much colder than before.

Mr. Wang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Your...your daughter..."

Did he guess wrong?

"Oh. I forgot to introduce myself."

Gu Qingyan interrupted him directly, "My wife."

"You can use a different way of addressing me, like... I'm her man."

Um.

Gu Qingyan liked this nickname very much.

"well."

Xu Zhaozhao sighed dramatically, "President Wang just asked me to go with him, it's such a dilemma~ who should I choose?"

Xu Zhaozhao said it on purpose for Gu Qingyan to hear.

As expected, Gu Qingyan's face visibly darkened.

Thump.

Mr. Wang's legs went weak, and he knelt down firmly in front of the two men, crying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was so foolish!"

"I was driven by lust, I have failed my ancestors, I deserve to die..."

As he spoke, he wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly.

"You deserve to die."

Gu Qingyan's voice echoed as if from the depths of hell, "Go down and properly repent to your ancestors?"

The news about Fu Chengze has already spread throughout the industry. Although there is no evidence to support it, everyone suspects Gu Jia.

Only the Gu family had the power to take action against him, and President Wang had heard of this to some extent.

Now he's jumping right up to someone's secretly married wife.

"Mr. Gu, please let me explain..."

He kowtowed, making a loud thud on the floor.

Gu Qingyan didn't intend to listen to his nonsense, and directly picked up Xu Zhaozhao and walked out.

Xu Zhaozhao wrapped her arms around Gu Qingyan's neck, then turned to look at President Wang, who was running behind her, his face flushed red, unable to catch up...

Finally, he tripped over a prop box on the ground and hit his head on that pointed thing...

At the moment the blood gushed out, Xu Zhaozhao looked away.

I suddenly remembered a classic line from one of the many novels I've read.

It's getting cold; the Wang family is going bankrupt.

Classic, so classic.
