So, that afternoon.
Gu could see a rare phenomenon: their Third Master, who usually valued work above all else, was distracted and frequently glanced at his phone during work.
Gu Yuheng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, showing his mood was not good.
Such a low trick, obviously fake, how could anyone believe it!
Not replying to his messages had to be because she was busy or hadn't seen them.
However, Gu Yuheng hesitated again.
That girl has never been particularly clever, could she really have believed it?
Having not replied to him for so long, could she truly have believed it? Was she angry and thus ignoring him?
After thinking it over, Gu Yuheng decided to make a call.
After two "beeps," a sharp and slightly angry voice answered—
"Hello, what does a scumbag want with me?"
Gu Yuheng: "..."
He's doomed!
...
"You're angry, aren't you?"
"I'm not angry!"
"You are angry."
"Heh, what do I have to be angry about?"
Gu Yuheng fell silent for a moment, then scoffed, "That was clearly fake, and you believed it? Is your brain just for decoration?!"
And then...
"Beep beep beep beep beep—"
He only got a series of rapid mechanical sounds in response.
—Gu Yuheng was hung up on.
Gu Yuheng: "..."
Meanwhile, Gu Qi behind him was already staring, his expression somewhat vacant.
"Your Young Mistress's temper is really getting bigger!"
Confronted with Gu Qi's ghost-seeing eyes, Gu Yuheng uncomfortably "explained" a sentence.
Gu Qi with his face full of question marks: "???"
Please, he would be angry too if he were her!
Who talks like that when trying to appease their wife!
Are you sure it was soothing, not adding fuel to the fire?!
Again, Gu Qi felt that if it weren't for the Young Mistress, their Third Master would definitely end up dying alone! Look at him, perfectly suited for singlehood!
So far, apart from their Third Master, he hasn't found a second person as well-suited to being single as their Third Master.
Fortunately, the Third Master also has times when his emotional intelligence is online, at least there was no mishap when registering the marriage with the Young Mistress, otherwise… With the Third Master's emotional intelligence, even if the marriage was set, it would probably end up called off.
"Your Young Mistress's intelligence is really baffling." Gu Yuheng said, somewhat irritably tossing the pen in his hand, his tone very displeased.
Believing such idiotic tricks!
I really don't know what she uses her head for!
Gu Qi: "..."
As far as he was concerned, it was a mystery of the century that their Third Master could even get married.
"Go and pull up the surveillance from my office," Gu Yuheng ordered.
His office held many important documents, naturally, there would be surveillance due to the business world being a battlefield, fraught with deception and schemes.
Installing surveillance in the office was just in case something happened, so there would be evidence available.
But Gu Yuheng hadn't expected that the first time he would pull the surveillance from his office it would be for this reason!
...
On the other end, after hanging up Gu Yuheng's call, Lin Chuxia was furious.
"Scumbag scumbag scumbag scumbag..."
She was really infuriated!
He was the scumbag, yet he dared to call her brainless?
Go to hell, you garbage scumbag!
Lin Chuxia threw her card violently, but soon after, she went back to pick it up.
Wouldn't that just benefit the scumbag?
She would max out his card and make him go bankrupt!
