Chapter 107 Catching Adultery
Ji Ying held onto the sink.
Gu Yanchen's deep voice came through.
"Let go."
Guo Ying seemed to be pushed away, but then clung to him again.
"Your stepsister said you're getting a divorce soon, and that that rigid, boring woman should have been replaced long ago. Why don't you try me?"
The two voices grew closer and closer.
Ji Ying panicked inexplicably, grabbing the edge of the sink, not knowing where to hide.
Liang Yizhi strode forward and pulled her over.
A screen separates the washbasin from the outside.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Gu Yanchen walked in from one end of the screen, while Liang Yizhi, with his arm around Ji Ying's waist, walked out from the other end.
Guo Ying caught Gu Yanchen's attention at just the right moment, and with Liang Yizhi's tall figure blocking the view, this missed opportunity was perfect.
However, Liang Yizhi did not take anyone far. As soon as he came out of the restroom, he pinned Ji Ying against the wall in the corridor.
Fearing she might get hurt, he shielded the back of her head with his hand.
The cool scent of cedar wafted from his sleeves, gradually enveloping her breath.
Ji Ying's mind went blank for a moment. She subconsciously raised her hand to push him away and whispered, "Let me go..."
Liang Yizhi chuckled softly in her ear, his fingertips tracing the pulse beating on her wrist before he grasped it.
Don't you want to know what happens next?
Ji Ying looked up and glared at him. He was over thirty years old, yet he acted like an old lady eating sunflower seeds at the village entrance, his eyes lighting up at the slightest sound. What kind of behavior was that!
In the restroom, Guo Ying hadn't given up yet.
Gu Yanshen was about to go to the men's restroom when Guo Ying suddenly reached out and grabbed his tie.
"Mr. Gu, I know exactly why you're looking for my father. It's about upgrading the batteries for new energy heavy-duty trucks. I'll tell you a secret..."
Using Gu Yanchen's tie as a springboard, she brought her red lips close to his.
Gu Yanchen did not push her away.
"...Your ex-wife's company isn't the only one that has mastered the latest technology."
Gu Yanchen narrowed his eyes and tilted his head, saying, "I'd like to hear the details."
Guo Ying smiled and leaned against him.
“My father’s prized student has developed a product that can rival the batteries in Qing Sui Power heavy trucks. As long as you divorce that woman and marry me, my father will naturally have his student do everything he can to help you.”
However, Gu Yanchen smiled, pulled out his tie, and pushed her away.
"Miss Guo thinks too materialistically about relationships."
Guo Ying laughed and said, "As long as President Gu is willing to have an 'in-depth' conversation with me, she will find that I am more interesting than her."
Gu Yanchen flicked the spot she had just touched, a deep smile on his lips. "Miss Guo has spent a few years abroad and has certainly grasped the essence of 'passionate and unrestrained'."
Guo Ying sensed the disdain in his words and curled her red lips. "People are like men and women; if you like someone, you should have them. You're not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old wasting your time on innocent romance. You need research and development technology for new energy batteries, and my father is a doctoral supervisor at Tsinghua University. He has countless geniuses under his command."
As she spoke, Guo Ying hooked her hand on his belt buckle.
"If we get together, from the lab to the bedroom... I guarantee you won't be able to stop."
Hearing this, Ji Ying almost wanted to agree to the "deal" on Gu Yanchen's behalf.
After all, her married life with Gu Yanchen was not only infrequent, but every step of it was like following a textbook.
A woman like Guo Ying could bring him cutting-edge technology and ignite his primal desires; it seemed like a sure-fire deal.
Why isn't he going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for divorce right now?
As she pondered, Ji Ying unconsciously pursed her lips into a straight line, completely unaware that her change in expression was being observed by Liang Yizhi.
Just then, the door to the private room at the end of the corridor opened, and Guo Guqing's voice came first, "Where did Mr. Liang go? Why hasn't he come back for so long?"
Ji Ying panicked and before she could react, Liang Yizhi had already wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted her up abruptly, and in the blink of an eye, they had slipped into the stairwell next door.
This time, Ji Ying clung to him completely.
Although he had hugged her several times, the fact that she was a "married woman" always stood between them, so as soon as her feet touched the ground, she pushed him away as if she had been electrocuted.
Liang Yizhi took a few steps back in a gentlemanly manner, but his face was full of sarcasm. "It's one thing for the person catching them in the act not to dare to rush in, but why do you act like a guilty thief? You're really something."
Ji Ying blushed with nervousness and said irritably, "Mr. Liang, have you had enough of this joke?"
Liang Yizhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You're not even a joke, you're just a coward."
This wasn't the first time he'd stabbed her, so Ji Ying's tolerance was fairly high.
"If a man is this gossipy, it might be due to an adrenaline imbalance. I suggest he make an appointment with an endocrinologist when he has time, so he doesn't let his kidneys suffer from this."
After she finished speaking, she was about to go down the stairs to leave when Liang Yizhi blocked her way with his arm.
"All the lights here are broken. What if something goes wrong and we decide we don't want the baby?"
child?
Ji Ying paused for a moment before remembering that he had misunderstood her pregnancy that day.
She suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Liang is so concerned about my pregnancy, could it be that you're impotent and want to adopt someone else's child?"
Liang Yizhi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he quickly returned to his nonchalant demeanor.
"Miss Ji, it's such a waste of your talent not to write screenplays."
He calmly withdrew his arm, turned around, took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and the dimly lit corridor instantly became clearer.
Then, Liang Yizhi stepped aside, and the beam of light shone steadily on the spot three inches below Ji Ying's feet.
"If you want to leave here, come with me."
...
In the restaurant corridor, Liang Jian then walked out of the private room and said to Guo Guqing, who was looking around, "Since everyone has something to do, let's call it a day. I'll thank Professor Guo for his hospitality on behalf of my second uncle."
Guo Guqing was actually more than happy to accept this, and quickly said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I apologize for not being hospitable enough today. I'll have a good chat with Mr. Liang another day."
No sooner had Liang Jian left than Gu Yanchen emerged from the restroom, followed by Guo Ying, who was walking unsteadily.
Guo Guqing paused for a moment, then stepped forward and said with a smile, "President Gu, Mr. Liang and his nephew have already left."
"Where is my wife?" Gu Yanchen asked.
Guo Guqing: "Uh... I didn't see it."
Gu Yanchen's expression darkened slightly. "If that's the case, then let's stop here for today. I'll ask Professor Guo for advice another day."
Wen Lingxue was both happy and a little anxious when she saw Gu Yanchen come out of the bathroom in just over ten minutes.
Fortunately, Guo Ying's petty schemes failed.
But this man can only tolerate Ji Ying so far; Guo Ying, this pawn, is probably not very useful.
Seeing Gu Yanchen leave, she quickly followed.
As soon as the guest left, the smile on Guo Guqing's face disappeared.
"What happened? You two seemed to get along quite well at the horse farm, so why didn't you win him over?"
Guo Ying leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.
"Dad, you're too impatient. Gu Yanchen is a restrained man; you'll need plenty of patience to win him over. But once I successfully tie him down, even the Chenxi Group can be changed to the Guo family name."
Guo Guqing said, "This time, he asked me for a favor, which is why we had the opportunity to get in touch with him. You should seize this opportunity and make him divorce his first wife."
Guo Ying was too lazy to waste words with him and turned to leave.
Guo Guqing asked with displeasure, "Where are we going this time?"
Guo Ying: "My friend is waiting at the bar."
Guo Guqing said, "If you have a man you want to marry, then shut up. A man like Gu Yanchen wouldn't want his woman to go to a place like that."
As Guo Ying walked out, she said, "After we get married, I will remain chaste for him."
The manor parking lot.
A Hongqi L5 slowly drove out, but was stopped at the gate.
Gu Yanchen stepped forward and gently knocked on the back window of the car.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Liang Yizhi's face.
Liang Jian was driving, and Ji Ying was sitting in the passenger seat.
“Mr. Liang is in a good mood today, and even went out of his way to escort my wife home. But now that I’m here, I won’t trouble you and your nephew.”
Liang Yizhi smiled faintly, "I'm not giving this to you, you don't need to be so polite."
Gu Yanchen's smile vanished. "Shall we speak in private?"
