As long as Yang Xi was fine, Gu Ruochu felt at peace.
She sat in her office and suddenly remembered the divorce agreement she had locked in her desk.
She thought about all the trouble she had gone over the past few days and felt a little upset.
Gu Ruochu took the key and opened the drawer. She reached in and casually rummaged through the drawer but could not find the agreement. She furrowed her brows and poked her head in to take a look.
There were two medicine bottles inside the drawer, but the agreement was gone.
What had happened?
Gu Ruochu clearly remembered placing the divorce agreement in the drawer. She thought about it and decided to call Xu Yichen. He was the only one who had seen the divorce papers.
"Yichen, did you take the divorce papers from my drawer?"
Xu Yichen was in the conference room. He was surprised when he heard Gu Ruochu's question. "What divorce agreement?"
He then remembered seeing her draft the papers and furrowed his brows. "How could it be gone? Could it be that someone broke into your office? That's impossible!"
"It's fine. I'll look for it again."
Gu Ruochu hung up the phone and searched the drawer a few more times. She was sure that she had locked it. Even if someone had unintentionally gone through her desk, they couldn't have found it.
Unless someone had known that she had placed the divorce agreement inside the drawer and had picked the lock to take it away.
However, she did not see any reason for someone to steal the divorce agreement.
While Gu Ruochu was still rummaging through the drawer, her phone rang.
When she saw Huo Nanchen's name on the screen, she thought of the divorce agreement and suddenly felt a little guilty. She swiped her phone to receive the call and asked, "Why are you calling me at this time?"
Huo Nanchen's voice was low and deep. At that moment, it sounded exceptionally mellow and seductive. "I can't call you at this time?"
"Of course not."
"Yes, I wanted to ask if you are free tonight. Would you like to have a candlelit dinner with me?" Huo Nanchen's voice sounded very pleasant.
He had just won Gu Ruochu's favor and had not slept in the study the previous night. Instead, he had spent the night holding her in his arms. It was as if he had returned to his warm and peaceful days.
"All right. Wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ruochu's thoughts were once again focused on the divorce agreement. It was not very important to her, but the sudden disappearance of such a private document made Gu Ruochu suspicious.
"Ruochu."
Xu Yichen had already pushed open the door and entered the office. "Have you found it?"
"No."
They both furrowed their brows as Xu Yichen thought for a moment. "Don't panic, I'll go ask Rong Xiao. No one would be bored enough to pay attention to your divorce agreement.
"That's the only explanation."
Gu Ruochu nodded, she remembered that she had a date with Huo Nanchen later that night, and her mood improved.
"You're so free today. You even bought a newspaper?"
Gu Ruochu glanced at the newspaper in Xu Yichen's hand.
Xu Yichen was a little embarrassed as he looked at her. "Today is the four-year presidential election in Huaxia. How can I not be concerned?"
"Oh."
Gu Ruochu gestured for the newspaper. The presidential election had taken up a large portion of the page.
In the capital, the newly appointed president had appeared on the red carpet banquet with his beautiful wife, who was only twenty years old.
The president looked very familiar. He had been elected for two consecutive terms and was projected to win again that year.
"Why is the president's wife only twenty years old? Isn't he around forty-five years old?"
"That is the president's newly married wife. Guess whose daughter she is?" Xu Yichen remembered that the story had a link to Gu Ruochu.
"Who?"
"She's from the Gu family in Nan Cheng. Old Master Gu married her off to the president to be his new wife."
