The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Panda Novel

Xiao Yaojing was wearing a body-hugging crimson red dress. Her raging face was in a similar shade of red from the whispers of gossip and discussions circulating the party.

She walked to the corridor and called PA Wen agitatedly. “Where are you?”

“I’ll be there soon. Have the CEO and Madam arrived?” PA Wen was anxious as well.

“Would I call you if they were here? The whole world has forgotten the real agenda of this party. They are all waiting for your magic show, to see how you magically make Gu Juexi appear out of thin air,” Xiao Yaojing sneered sarcastically, “Does Gu Juexi think he is Superman? Why would he get out of the car in the middle of an overpass highway?”

PA Wen was equally confused but he replied calmly, “CEO does things his way. I’m already at the hotel and heading your way now.”

Xiao Yaojing wished that PA Wen would literally fly to her side like Superman or she would have taught those ignorant people a lesson with her fists. It made her even more agitated when she could not reach Ye Yuwei by phone.

PA Wen broke out in a sweat when he finally stepped out of the elevator to the hall. Still, he stopped dead the second he laid eyes on Xiao Yaojing. She was wearing a blood-red one-shoulder dress that complimented her curves. Her hair was draped on her bare shoulder in soft curls. Her light makeup amplified her alluring and charismatic aura.

“What are you staring at?” Xiao Yaojing tapped PA Wen’s shoulder and linked her arm through his. She whispered into his ear, “You will be in a dicey situation if Gu Juexi is a no-show today.”

PA Wen remained composed and whispered back, “I trust CEO, he can make it.”

“Hi, PA Wen, there you are. Where is Mr. Gu?” A random guy asked with a hint of mockery.

PA Wen put on a charming smile and responded, “CEO is with the Mistress getting dressed, they might take a while. Anyway, the party has yet to start, right?”

“Rumors claimed that Mrs. Gu had risen from the dead; now it seems like it is not merely a rumor but true. I wonder when will Mr. Gu show up?” Another random person directed the topic of conversation back to Gu Juexi.

“He will be here when it’s time for him to be here, Gu Juexi doesn’t have to arrive early like you people,” Xiao Yaojing mocked while holding PA Wen’s arm.

The man’s expression darkened slightly but he suppressed his rebuttal when he saw PA Wen reach over to hold Xiao Yaojing’s hand. He smiled falsely and said, “Miss, you are absolutely right, we are not comparable with Mr. Gu. May I know who you—”

“My girlfriend,” PA Wen announced directly.

Xiao Yaojing heard scornful whispering from the women around them after his remark.

She sneered contemptuously. Who would have guessed PA Wen was a favorite among the socialites?

After his introduction, he nodded politely and walked away with Xiao Yaojing on his arm.

“Yes, keep on pretending as if nothing happened. When Gu Juexi doesn’t show up and Gu Enterprise collapses, Wen Tao will be a nobody,” the person said venomously.

Xiao Yaojing wanted to refute but she was held back by PA Wen. “Relax, don’t get your knickers in a twist.”

“They are mocking you,” Xiao Yaojing huffed in disgust.

PA Wen smiled, looked at Xiao Yaojing tenderly and whispered, “So concerned about me?”

Xiao Yaojing was stunned at his gentle remark.

Did he just turn the flirting tables on her?
