Chapter 73 Don't Let

"Well," she had forgotten how sharp this man was, and since he had said it himself, "why didn't you tell me?"

She is his wife now, and she has no intention of giving up this identity. It is reasonable for her to know that he is being entangled with another woman, right?

"Because to me, this is not a big deal at all." Gu Xiyue spoke in a normal tone, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhou Nuan: "..That's because you don't know Ji Huayan's thoughts."

He didn't give her a chance to get close to him. Ji Huayan had a lot of feelings for him but couldn't express them. If he knew, would he still be so indifferent? After all, Ji Huayan had good conditions and was not bad looking. She had studied abroad and was considered a rare talent in this era. Not to mention that her family could save him a few years of detours.

"Zhou Nuan." Gu Xiyue called her in a deep voice, his tone helpless, "Don't think that men are slow to react to things like this. I know exactly what she wants to do. The factory that I had a cooperative relationship with was hers, but the cooperation has ended. However, she frequently came to me and asked to see me by name. I don't need to use my brain to know her little thoughts. I am also very curious about how the Ji family raised a child with no sense of morality."

"It's none of my business what other people do. If I take this as a problem and tell you about it, it means it has affected me. It has entered my heart and mind and is causing me trouble."

Zhou Nuan was stunned: Yes, the real rejection is not disgust but indifference, the absolute indifference that no matter what she does, she can't attract his attention. It turns out that Ji Huayan is facing such a rational and cold Gu Xiyue.

"Besides," he glanced at her again, "are you underestimating yourself?"

"Huh?" She was confused.

"You are a hundred times prettier than her. Am I stupid to abandon you and choose her? You are the only one for me. I don't want or need any other messy things." The man whispered with a serious expression.

Zhou Nuan blushed at his straightforwardness: ... Didn't you say that a straight and honest soldier wouldn't say sweet words?

The emotional value is sky-high.

Gu Xiyue spoke again, "He Taoguang told you that Ji Huayan came to see me, but I didn't tell you that I never paid any attention to her? You said everything you shouldn't have said, but didn't say anything you should have said?"

His tone was light, but there was a hint of gritted teeth in it.

Zhou Nuan was even more ashamed and felt even more guilty towards He Tao.

Although she felt guilty, her mood improved instantly. Although she knew that men's words could not be absolutely trusted, there was a saying that his current love was true and his future hatred was also true, and no one knew how far the future would go.

If one day, she couldn't escape the plot and he changed, it didn't matter. If she gave him enough alimony and money, she would take the child and leave. But now.

I'm sorry, Ji Huayan, even if you were the heroine of the original book, I would never give her to you.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her brows full of joy, and Gu Xiyue couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "Are you done asking?"

"Um."

"Then it's my turn to ask you."

Zhou Nuan felt guilty for a moment, and said with a stiff upper lip, "What do you want to ask?" Could it be that he saw something?

"Why are you asking me these? Who told you what?" Gu Xiyue's expression was slightly cold.

Zhou Nuan told him that she wanted to open a store and Zhang Xi offered to help her. After listening, Gu Xiyue said, "You don't need Zhang Xi's help. I have already solved the store's problems."

Solved? When did it happen? Didn't she tell him that she wanted to open a store?

Perhaps seeing her confusion, Gu Xiyue explained, "A few days ago, I saw that you seemed to be troubled by something, so I asked Li Jie and the others."

Uh, okay, "The store you're looking for is located at..."

It's not that she is picky. When it comes to branding, store location is very important. Anyway, she has never seen big-brand stores on the streets.

"In the department store."

"Is it the location that Zhang Xi mentioned?" she asked tentatively.

Gu Xiyue nodded, "Yes, so you don't need to accept her kindness."

Zhou Nuan was surprised, "How did you do it?" As far as she knew, the storefronts in the department store were not rented out. Could it be that...

"Did you find some connections or owe anyone a favor?"

"No, relationships are not something you can use as you please as you think."

"That.."

"The event you held last time has left an impression on the people in charge of the 100-story building. In addition to the huge sales of our clothes, the event also brought unexpected revenue to the department store, so they agreed as soon as I mentioned it."

Gu Xiyue glanced at her and said, "You should actually try it first, instead of giving up when you think it's impossible."

Zhou Nuan really didn't expect this. Gu Xiyue was right, she shouldn't underestimate herself.

"The person in charge of the department store said that we can go over to see the store today..." Gu Xiyue continued, and before he had said half of his words, he suddenly heard a child crying in grievance outside the house.

Qin Yuezhi hurriedly coaxed the baby, "Oh, dear Xiaoxi, let's not disturb your parents..."

Xiaoxi cried even louder, making a "Ba, bae" sound while crying.

Zhou Nuan paused, and looked at Gu Xiyue in disbelief, "Xiao Xi was here just now, calling mom?"

Gu Xiyue: "It should be a meaningless pronunciation."

"No, she was calling me mom just now, that must be it!" Zhou Nuan was filled with joy at being a mother, "My little Xi is so smart, she can call me mom at only 5 months old, she is worthy of being my child."

She stood up and walked quickly to open the door, and Gu Xiyue followed behind her.

If there was nothing wrong with his ears just now, Xixi's first word would have been "Dad", right?

The two walked out and saw Qin Yuezhi standing not far from the door, sweating profusely as she coaxed Xiaoxi, who was crying and pointing in the direction of the master bedroom.

"What's going on?" Zhou Nuan asked, reaching out to take it.

But Xiaoxi didn't want her and rushed towards Gu Xiyue with her arms open, obviously wanting him to hug her.

Zhou Nuan's hand froze in mid-air.

I watched as Gu Xiyue's eyebrows softened, and he reached out to take Xiaoxi with a doting look on his face. He held her in his arms, and Xiaoxi, who had been crying loudly just now, suddenly stopped crying.

“…”

"Ba Ba." Xiaoxi called out again, and he clearly knew it was "Ba Ba" and not "Mee Mee".

"Hey! It's the first time Xiaoxi called someone, and he actually called dad." Qin Yuezhi was also very surprised.

Zhou Nuan was about to pout, "Hmph, whoever calls first will have to worry more." She would never admit that she was jealous.

Gu Xiyue patted his daughter's little body, "Where's Xiaodong?"

"He's not awake yet. Aunt Li is sleeping with him." Qin Yuezhi replied.

Zhou Nuan was puzzled: My goodness, Xiaoxi’s crying was almost heard by the whole building, but her brother was sleeping so soundly, completely unmoved. Although these brother and sister are twins, their personalities are so different.

Gu Xiyue coaxed her again, and then handed her to Qin Yuezhi again because they were going out. But as soon as she was in Qin Yuezhi's arms, Gu Xiaoxi burst into tears and insisted that Gu Xiyue hold her.

Gu Xiyue had no choice but to pick her up and said, "Let's go to the department store."
