Xia Hong had indeed misunderstood, and her chest heaved with anger as she gritted her teeth and said:
"Ha, Gu Ziling, you're really something!"
However, just as Xia Hong finished speaking, the phone rang again.
I wasn't planning to answer, but somehow I picked up the phone and before I could even say anything, I heard a familiar woman's voice on the other end.
"Mr. Gu, are you alright? I saw you've been out for so long and haven't gone back, so I was worried you might not be feeling well and came out to check on you."
Then came the man's response, his voice indifferent and distant:
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Shang. I'm fine. I just wanted to take this opportunity to call my family so they wouldn't worry."
she?
Miss Shang murmured silently, then looked at Gu Ziling again:
"Is the 'she' Mr. Gu is referring to your aunt?"
Oh....
Xia Hong naturally understood that Gu Ziling was trying to prove his innocence, so her mindset calmed down considerably, and she listened to the conversation on the other end of the phone very calmly.
Apart from Gu Ziling and that Miss Shang, there was no one else in the corridor; it seemed they had booked the entire place.
Gu Ziling frowned slightly, then uttered the words clearly:
"Oh, it's not my mom, it's my... wife. That's the only bad thing about my wife, she gets jealous all the time. That's why she calls to check up on me all the time."
In the newspaper office, Xia Hong was comfortably reclining in her chair, listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone. However, what she heard next almost made her fall to the ground in shock.
Depend on!
Who is Gu Ziling talking about?
What wife?
Does your wife love to eat and like to check up on you?
Xia Hong glanced at the phone, then looked down at herself: Holy crap, when did I become Gu Ziling's wife? Why don't I know it?
What nonsense are you spouting this time?
Xia Hong didn't see that her face was turning bright red, and she looked like a boiled shrimp. In fact, she really wanted to shout angrily, but she didn't say anything. After all, on the other end of the phone, Gu Ziling had a little vixen in front of him!
Sure enough, the next moment they heard Xiao Yaoqing's shattered voice, clearly indicating she had suffered a heavy blow:
"Mr. Gu...is he...married? I've never heard of it."
Is this still a doubt?
Gu Ziling remained completely calm and composed, without even blushing or skipping a beat:
"The date hasn't come yet, but when it does, I won't forget to send Miss Shang an invitation."
hiss.
Upon hearing this, Miss Shang could no longer hold back:
"Since Mr. Gu is alright, I'll be going now."
Before Gu Ziling could even respond, he hurriedly fled.
After a while, the clicking of high heels finally stopped, and Gu Ziling then put the phone back to her ear:
Do you like it?
Pfft~~
Xia Hong was thirsty because her whole body was flushed, and she was drinking water when she heard the man on the other end of the phone making obviously provocative and teasing remarks, and she spat it out.
Like my ass.
However, it seems I can't let this man know that I've been listening the whole time.
Cough, Xia Hong straightened her clothes:
"What are you talking about? What do you like? I just went to get some water."
Yes, I didn't hear your conversation just now.
Gu Ziling didn't expose her, but Xia Hong didn't realize that she was obviously admitting that Gu Ziling was calling her "wife" in public!
No wonder Minister Gu looks so happy right now.
His previous stormy expression was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh, you went to get some water?"
That tone...
Xia Hong gasped for breath: "If I said I was going to get water, I meant I was going to get water. Why would I lie to you?"
