Qi Xiaoyi thought he had guessed what Xiang Wanqiao was thinking, and said excitedly, "See, I knew it."

The corners of Gu Jingzhan's mouth, which had just been raised, slowly fell down again. His drooping eyelids concealed the loss in his eyes.

Who knew that the next second, Xiang Wanqiao said something shocking.

She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Is it not okay for me to be attracted by his beauty and his body?"

"..."

Three black lines appeared on Qi Xiaoyi's forehead, and he was extremely speechless.

Gu Jingzhan was choked by what Xiang Wanqiao said. He coughed twice in embarrassment, and his expression looked unnatural.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Wanqiao asked innocently.

Gu Jingzhan put his fist to the tip of his nose and cleared his throat, "No, it's okay."

Qi Xiaoyi frowned and looked at Wan Qiao with an unfriendly look. He muttered angrily, "You are such a shameless woman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jingzhan glanced over coldly.

"If you can't speak properly, shut up!" His tone was full of warning.

Qi Xiaoyi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and continued, "I just don't understand, what kind of magic potion did this woman give you? She would rather die than be with you, and now you can act as if nothing happened. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Jingzhan's fingers on his thighs curled slightly, and a bitterness surged in his heart.

He said calmly: "As long as she is willing to stay with me, I am willing to give her a chance."

"You are truly hopeless!"

Qi Xiaoyi shook his head and sighed, looking just like Lu Qingzhou before, feeling very disappointed with his friend.

Xiang Wanqiao looked at Gu Jingzhan in front of her and felt a pain in her heart.

This silly man, what is so good about her that makes him love and protect her so much in both his lives.

Even though he knew that she stayed with him for another purpose, even though he knew that there was no place for him in her heart, even though he knew that all this was a trap set by her...

He loved her completely and without reservation.

Xiang Wanqiao took a deep breath and turned to Qi Xiaoyi and said, "Boss Qi, we are all human. I didn't know what was good for me before and loved the wrong person. Now I have turned back. You can't even give me a chance to make a new start, right?"

After hearing this, Qi Xiaoyi chuckled and said, "Who knows if you have really reformed? What if you are pretending to surrender and intending to murder Brother Zhan?"

In her previous life, she did indeed do so.

But in this life, she will definitely not let Gu Jingzhan down again.

"Who cares whether you believe it or not, as long as Ah Zhan believes me." Xiang Wanqiao snorted at Qi Xiaoyi, then turned to look at Gu Jingzhan, "Husband, do you believe me?"

Gu Jingzhan met her clear and bright eyes, and saw himself reflected in her eyes. He stared at her intently as if he was bewitched.

He opened his lips slightly and said, "I believe it."

Xiang Wanqiao curved her cherry lips and leaned forward to kiss Gu Jingzhan in front of Qi Xiaoyi.

"A reward for you."

Gu Jingzhan curled his lips, and a tender smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, as if he was still savoring the brief kiss just now.

Qi Xiaoyi: “…”

What a blind eye!

Brother Zhan, who has always been calm, self-controlled and polite, is actually a love-brained person!

Xiang Wanqiao raised her eyebrows at Qi Xiaoyi with a smug look on her face, and spoke with a hint of expulsion: "Boss Qi, do you want to stay and have lunch with my wife and me?"

Qi Xiaoyi opened his mouth and was about to say something when he received a cold warning from Gu Jingzhan.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. I won't disturb you guys from having lunch here, okay?"

He stood up from his chair and tried to leave.

"Boss Qi, are you leaving now? The food will be here soon. Why don't you stay and have some food?" Xiang Wanqiao said.

Qi Xiaoyi rolled his eyes at her indignantly, "I don't want to be a light bulb. I'm annoyed when I see you guys being so affectionate here!"

After saying this, he left angrily.

After Qi Xiaoyi left the private room, he always felt uneasy, so he sent a WeChat message to Gu Jingzhan to remind him.

[Yi: There is something wrong with this woman Xiang Wanqiao. You should be more careful.]

After lunch.

Gu Jingzhan drove the car back to the downstairs of Gu Group and turned around to remind him, "Be careful when you drive back. Pay attention to safety."

"Yeah." Xiang Wanqiao put her arm on the center console, supported her cheek with one hand, and said playfully, "I'll wait for you to come back for dinner at home."

Originally, Xiang Wanqiao was thinking of staying at Gu Group to work with him in the afternoon, but when she thought of what he said when they went to dinner, she instantly gave up the idea.

If she made such a suggestion now, it would inevitably make him doubt his motives.

It took a lot of effort to build up a little trust, and we can't lose it so quickly.

So she thought about it seriously and decided to forget it.

Gu Jingzhan thought she was talking about the Xiang family, so he asked casually, "Are you planning to stay at the Xiang family tonight?"

"It's our home, Guiyuan." Xiang Wanqiao explained to him.

Hearing the words "our home", Gu Jingzhan's heart trembled violently, and his eyes sparkled with stars.

His lips parted slightly as he repeated the four words, "Our home."

"Isn't it?" Xiang Wanqiao blinked at him, "Isn't Guiyuan our home?"

Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes and smiled, and responded in a low voice: "Yes, our home."

"So, remember to come back early in the evening, ok?"

"it is good."

Gu Jingzhan turned sideways, leaned forward slightly, and placed a gentle kiss on the woman's forehead.

"Drive slower."

Xiang Wanqiao smiled shyly and nodded in response: "I understand. I will be careful."

After watching Gu Jingzhan enter the Gu Group building, Xiang Wanqiao took out her cell phone from her bag and called an unfamiliar number.

The phone rang twice, and the other party answered: "Miss."

The shyness and smile on Xiang Wanqiao's face disappeared in an instant, and she became serious and indifferent, completely different from the way she had just shown in front of Gu Jingzhan.

She asked in a cold voice, "How is the investigation going on for me?"

"My dear Miss, I have almost finished looking into the matter you asked me to look into. I will send it to your computer tonight after I have sorted it out."

"Okay, let Hua Ling move faster on the equity acquisition. I will start taking action after the bidding conference for the West City Tourism Resort Development Project is over."

"Yes."

"Have Xiao Xuan and Lu Siwei met anyone recently?"

"Xiao Xuan'an recently met with several shareholders of the Xiao Group in private. It seems that he wants to acquire their shares, or he wants to win them over to his team. Lu Siwei was very busy because the Lu Group was suddenly exposed for substandard product quality. Apart from some partners, she didn't meet anyone special."

Xiang Wanqiao tapped the back of the phone with her fair and delicate fingers, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, she spoke slowly: "Let Hua Ling contact the shareholders of the Xiao Group that Xiao Xuan'an has met, and find a way to buy all of their shares."

"Ok."

"The Lu Group's products are not just substandard, there are also big problems with the company's accounts. Send some information to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau and ask them to send someone to investigate the Lu Group."

"Yes."
