Gu corporation
In the President's office, Gu Zichen was signing some documents when his mobile vibrated. Reading the text message, he signalled Chen Fei who stood nearby. "Pick her up from the lobby"
"Yes, boss" Chen Fei nodded before looking at the young lady seated on the sofa in the waiting area. He was sweating buckets due to the pressure he was suffering and the tension pulling his nerves was draining his energy.
Bringing his Lady boss into the office when the Boss's ex-girlfriend was still on the premises... wasn't it similar to waving the flag to signal the start of a war?
His boss had some mental issues to have these two women clash with each other.
Chen Fei sighed helplessly. He then went to the building's lobby with an uneasy heart.
When he saw a few security personnel and the receptionist rounding someone at the entrance and rushed forward to see what was wrong. "Hey... What's going on here?"
"Assistant Chen, this crazy woman's saying she came looking for President Gu" One of the security men said.
Chen Fei looked at the person holding a bag and the people blocking her. He pitied the security men for not knowing that the woman they were referring to a crazy woman was their lady boss.
"Enough...now back to work..." Chen Fei could only wave his hand to scatter the people surrounding Wu Jinyan.
"Sorry Madam. This way, please" Chen Fei looked at the woman again and shook his head in disbelief. Wu Jinyan gave a slight smile in embarrassment.
The security men and receptionist were astonished to see Assistant Chen take the bag from the crazy girl and politely escort her towards the President's private elevator. They looked at each other and wondered if they missed something critical.
Inside the elevator, Chen Fei glanced at Wu Jinyan from the corner of his eye to examine if she was the same woman his boss hastily married.
He retrieved all the documents from the official database required to get their marriage certificate but still couldn't believe that he was with the same woman he saw in the picture attached to the documents.
This scary woman dressed in a shimmering neon green jumpsuit, with dark pink hair, and thick makeup was his lady boss.
The woman in the picture he saw was simple and looked decent with perfection and innocence stitched in every cell of her face, unlike the monster he was seeing right now.
'Is that supposed to be a disguise?! Sorry, Madam. But it looks more like some Halloween outfit!' Chen Fei thought as he looked at her once again.
Regardless of how she looked, she was still his boss's wife.
"Madam, we are here..." Chen Fei said politely, breathing deeply to calm his heart and knocked on the president's office door.
Wu Jinyan nodded as Chen Fei opened the door for her. She then walked into the President's room closing the door behind her. She glanced at the man seated behind the desk. He had seriousness written all over his face as his right hand continued to sign his name on the papers.
That person was damn attractive while he was working, she gazed at him without blinking. She was afraid he would disappear from her sight the second she blinked her eyes.
Gu Zichen lifted his head and was blown away noticing her avatar. He put aside the files in his hands and walked towards her without caring about the other woman in the seating area.
"What's all this?" Gu Zichen chuckled and wrapped a hand around her shoulder as he brought her towards his work table.
"That...I didn't want to get noticed by your employees..." Wu Jinyan mumbled lowering her head in embarrassment. She just wanted to disguise herself but went a little overboard and dressed in a more attention-grabbing style.
Just then, she heard a shattering sound. There's someone else in the room?! Wu Jinyan turned and saw a familiar person seated in the middle of a huge sofa.
She froze as she recognized the young lady in a light pink dress. She was like an elegant princess who walked straight out of a classic painting.
"Sh- she's Li Xiaoyi..right?!" Wu Jinyan muttered in astonishment.
"Ah... whoever" Gu Zichen spoke as she glanced at the pale-faced Li Xiaoyi. She looked as if she was electrocuted.
"Huh? She's back in the country already. There's still no news about her and the public is still thinking that she's in America. Can I go and talk to her?" Wu Jinyan was feeling high with excitement jolting her nerves and didn't consider the reason for Li Xiaoyi being in Gu Zichen's office.
"You want to talk to her?" Gu Zichen frowned. What's good in speaking with that woman who broke his heart?
"Yes.." Wu Jinyan rocked her head. She still remembered her high school days listening to Li Xiaoyi's hit songs. Who would miss the chance to speak with a popular singer? That woman was Li Xiaoyi...one of those powerful personalities who moved millions of young hearts in the country.
"Okay...but be quick" Gu Zichen gave in looking at her puppy eyes. He took her hand and walked towards the sofa.
Li Xiaoyi dropped her teacup as she watched both the figures standing close to each other. She felt her heart split open when Gu Zichen hugged another woman. She was suffocated seeing both of them walking towards her with no friction between them. Their interactions were so natural and harmonious, that she blinked repeatedly to erase the scene tearing her heart apart.
That woman was horrifying with her bizarre dress and hairstyle. She was like a psychic character from a horror comic accompanied by her white face, thick black eye makeup and blood-red lip colour.
Li Xiaoyi did not understand why Gu Zichen was being intimate with a woman of such an appalling appearance.
"I..I..I.." Wu Jinyan was so excited to speak with Li Xiaoyi but did not know how to introduce herself. She was afraid she would speak something bad with her clumsy mind.
Li Xiaoyi simply scoffed before her gaze shifted to Gu Zichen. "Zichen...who's this woman?! She's too frightening to look at. Just what got into you, you allowed such a woman to enter your office and you are so close to her?"
Gu Zichen's face turned cold as he glanced at the woman screaming at the top of her lungs. He just wanted to show her what she lost by leaving him but she was unaware of his intentions.
He simply wrapped his hand around Wu Jinyan's shoulder and said gazing at his familiar but unfamiliar wife "You want to know her identity. You can call her Mrs Gu"
Li Xiaoyi was dumbfounded. She felt as if her heart stopped beating.
"What?! Don't tell me, she..." Li Xiaoyi mumbled in confusion. The light in her eyes faded and she looked sickly pale.
"Yes.. she is my wife" Gu Zichen dropped the bomb.
Disbelief! Shock! Pain! Everything struck Li Xiaoyi's eyes.
Li Xiaoyi struggled to calm herself and glared at Wu Jinyan. She held back her tears as she breathed heavily.
Why was it not her? Why was it that scary ghost-like person? She would never believe that Gu Zichen married a woman who was not her.
He belongs to her! Only to her! No one could replace her position in his heart.
"She's your wife?" Li Xiaoyi snorted and continued "You want me to believe that you got married to someone other than me?"
