Xiao Jingming knew that his wife was young and was just coming of age. She was incredibly innocent and tender. His nephew, on the other hand, was a devilish playboy. He was smart, handsome, and rich - a deadly combination.
The two of them looked quite compatible when they stood together.
Last time he checked, his nephew disliked Gu Wenxi. When did they become so close?
He knew that a young and beautiful girl like his wife would prefer someone who was the same age as her instead of an old man like him who was bound in a wheelchair.
A harsh realization settled into Xiao Jiuyan. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Why?"
Guan Xi sensed the change in her husband's mood.
Was he angry because she will be returning a little late?
Cautiously, Guan Xi answered, "I know all of the servants at home are busy. Young Master Xiao, on the other hand, has nothing to do at home. I just didn't want to inconvenience anyone."
Xiao Jingming wanted to protest.
What did she mean by saying he had nothing to do at home?
He was actually quite busy!
She was making him sound like a deadbeat.
Xiao Jiuyan's eyes were deep as he looked at Guan Xi's beautiful face. After a while, he replied indifferently, "As you wish."
'Did he just agree?'
Guan Xi's eyes lit up. She bowed respectfully and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master Jiu."
...
The bodyguard led Xiao Jiuyan to the changing room.
Guan Xi hummed happily with satisfaction.
Behind her, Xiao Jingming asked gloomily, "Auntie, what do you want to do tomorrow? Are you going to drag me down with you again?"
Xiao Jingming knew that Gu Wenxi wouldn't have asked him to pick her up tomorrow for no reason. She was up to something.
Guan Xi glanced at Xiao Jingming. "What do you mean? I just want you to pick me up tomorrow."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Xiao Jingming didn't believe her. "Then tell me, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
Guan Xi pursed her lips. "Stop asking so many questions."
'Honestly, this woman!'
How did their power dynamic shifted like this? He was older than Gu Wenxi!
...
NEXT AFTERNOON. AFTER CLASS.
Guan Xi called Tang Yue and told her that she was stopping by.
As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw Xiao Jingming's flashy red sports car parked at the school gate.
When Xiao Jingming saw Guan Xi, he immediately walked up to her and said, "Xiao... Gu Wenxi, where are you going? I'll drive you."
"Xiao Jingming!"
It was after school hours and there were a lot of students milled at the school gate.
There was already a rumor going around that the two of them were having an affair.
Naturally, people couldn't help but look when they saw Xiao Jingming and Gu Wenxi standing together.
In order to maintain Gu Wenxi's delicate image, Guan Xi smiled sweetly. With a fake smile, she said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that you could pretend to pick me up when I call you?"
'Sheesh! Gu Wenxi is really scary!'
Xiao Jingming was starting to crack under the pressure.
"Xiao... yeah, but I didn't agree. Since you told Uncle Jiu yesterday that I'll be picking you up, you're my responsibility now. If anything happens to you, Uncle Jiu will kill me, so I need to keep an eye on you."
He doubt that, though. With Gu Wenxi's martial art skills, nothing could touch her.
'D*mn this annoying guy!'
"Look, Young Master Xiao is picking up Gu Wenxi! Are they really together?"
"Why would Young Master Xiao get involve with Gu Wenxi? Didn't you say that Gu Wenxi's a slut? Young Master Xiao would not stoop down to that level."
