Chapter 48: Submitting Wages



Only after receiving Shen Yuan's forgiveness did Ouyang Zhuo get up from the ground.

But he had been kneeling for too long, and his legs were so numb that he almost fell down the moment he stood up.

Chen Yuan subconsciously helped her, but this action made Ouyang Zhuo think that she really forgave him.

What he didn't know was that Shen Yuan just wanted to get rid of him quickly.

"Yuanyuan, I've always regretted what happened last night. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it as compensation."

Chen Yuan stared at the bank card in his hand and found it funny. Who did he think of himself?

After hurting her, he wanted to bribe her with money? Isn't this just another way to humiliate her?

"I don't need it, take it back."

Chen Yuan distanced herself from him. Being with such a person would only make her feel suffocated.

Ouyang Zhuo paused and forced it on Chen Yuan.

"Just take it, and think of it as me injecting capital into your store, okay?"

"Ouyang Zhuo, I said I don't want it. Don't make me hate you even more."

She thought that after saying this, Ouyang Zhuo would give up, but she didn't expect that he would act as if he didn't hear her and force it on her.

"You take it..."

Shen Yuan began to struggle, but Ouyang Zhuo held on to her regardless. Just when the two were getting into a fight, Ouyang Zhuo was pushed by someone and instantly distanced himself from Shen Yuan.

She seemed to be unable to stand, and felt a warm touch on her back, and a pair of large hands supported her.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Yuan turned her head and saw Gu Jisui dragging her back with one hand, staring at Ouyang Zhuo with a gloomy face, but when he turned around and looked at her, he was very gentle.

"I was just passing by and brought you some food."

Chen Yuan frowned, seeing through it but not saying it out loud. You know, the road to the company and her pet shop are one on the east side and the other on the west side.

After handing the food to Shen Yuan, he looked at Ouyang Zhuo coldly again.

He hates others challenging his bottom line again and again!

"Didn't I tell you that if you dare to touch me, I will kill you and your descendants?"

When Ouyang Zhuo heard the voice, his face darkened. He still felt the pain when he thought about the kicks he received from Gu Jisui that night.

"I'm here to apologize and inject capital into Shen Yuan's pet shop."

Gu Jisui sneered after hearing his far-fetched explanation. Did he feel that he couldn't afford to support Chen Yuan?

"Do you think the people in my Gu family would be interested in your children?"

Given the Gu family's ability, they really looked down on him, but he naturally felt uncomfortable being ridiculed in public.

"Gu Jisui, even if it's not much, it's still a token of my appreciation. Besides, I'm giving it to Chen Yuan, not to you. Why are you humiliating me like this?"

"You should save your kindness for yourself as a wife. Chen Yuan doesn't need it. She has me."

"You!" Ouyang Zhuo's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't utter a word.

Gu Jisui was not someone he could afford to offend, and he didn't dare to offend him, for fear that this madman would really do what he said and make him exterminate his descendants.

"Chen Yuan, I'll come see you another day."

He greeted Shen Yuan and turned to leave the pet shop without caring whether she wanted to see him again or not.

Seeing Ouyang Zhuo walking away, Chen Yuan pulled Gu Jisui into the pet shop.

"Drink water. Isn't the company busy today?"

Chen Yuan handed a glass of water to Gu Jisui, then sat down next to him, picked up the snacks he brought and started eating.

Seeing that Chen Yuan had eaten the food he brought, Gu Jisui's expression improved slightly.

"No rush, this is for you."

Chen Yuan paused, staring at the black card he handed over.

Why give her the card? To keep her?

Oh, they are a legitimate couple, so it doesn’t seem like they are being kept.

"What are you doing for me?"

Gu Jisui frowned. He had heard from Special Assistant Song that a man should hand over his monthly salary card to his wife.

But why does Shen Yuan look like this?

Do you think he gave too little?

"I don't have a salary card, I only have this."

Gu Jisui looked very awkward, and Chen Yuan was also confused.

He doesn't have a salary card? What does this mean?

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't understand what he meant, Gu Jisui explained, "I heard from others that men have to hand over their salary cards to their wives. I don't have a salary card, but you can use this black card."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

So this is what it means. I don’t know who instilled this toxic chicken soup in him.

But... he's really interesting.

Gu Jisui heard the laughter and frowned in dissatisfaction, "What are you laughing at?"

He always felt that this stupid woman was making fun of him, but he had no evidence.

"Why did you think of giving me a salary card?"

Chen Yuan suppressed her laughter and looked at him. She was actually quite curious. It was clearly just a contract marriage, but why would he do all this? Could it be that he...

Gu Jisui frowned as he listened to Shen Yuan's words. Didn't he already say it? Why was he still asking why?

"Because I'm a man too."

Phew, this time Shen Yuan really couldn't help it.

What a far-fetched reason. Because he is a man, he has to hand over his salary card?

"Gu Jisui, handing over your salary card is something only real couples would do. You don't need to listen to what others say."

These are things that real couples would do...I almost forgot that they are not just a piece of paper.

Seeing that Chen Yuan made such a clear distinction, Gu Jisui felt that his actions were ridiculous.

He laughed at himself, but saw Shen Yuan looking at him with a teasing look.

"unless…"

Her hesitant look left Gu Jisui confused.

"Unless what?"

Shen Yuan chuckled, "Unless you really fall in love with me?"

Hearing this, Gu Jisui frowned and was stunned for a few seconds.

Chen Yuan looked like she was joking on the surface, but she was actually extremely nervous inside. She also wanted to know Gu Jisui's answer.

"Chen Yuan, you're right. We are just a piece of paper. I did this because I didn't want you to feel that the Gu family treated you unfairly."

Every word he said reached Shen Yuan's ears, and for some reason, her mood suddenly plummeted.

After a while, Shen Yuan curled his lips and said, "It's just a joke, why are you so serious?"

She didn't look at Gu Jisui's expression, but turned around and picked up the black card on the table.

"Since you said so, I'll accept this black card."

Gu Jisui stared at Chen Yuan's heartless look for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Okay."

"Try it, it has the sweet-scented osmanthus flavor, it's quite delicious."

Chen Yuan gave Gu Jisui a piece of osmanthus cake, trying to cover up something.

This time, Gu Jisui did not eat the food that Chen Yuan handed to him that he did not like last night.

"I don't like it." He stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, put the osmanthus cake into his mouth, and said goodbye incoherently.

Looking at his back, Chen Yuan always felt that this man seemed weird. Why did he always look so moody?

Tsk, it’s really hard to understand and guess.
