Chapter 6: Heart-pounding Encounter

  The two of them walked towards each other in silence, approaching quietly.

  Then they stopped in front of a room door together.

  The young man furrowed his brow and glanced at the bouquet of lily in her hand, saying in a low and uncertain tone, "Miss Wen?"

  Wen Tong nodded slightly, her voice sweet and soft, "Mr. Gu, good afternoon."

  The man's eyes cooled for a moment, and his pupils flashed with a hint of mockery, causing Wen's eyes to tremble slightly.

  He put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "Do you know what your dad asked you to come here for?"

  Her heart was already nervous, she pursed her lips, and her voice involuntarily lowered, "He said... blind date." Although knowing it's impossible.

  As expected, the man's smile deepened.

  "Blind date?" He seemed to have heard something extremely funny, turned his head sideways and whispered in her ear, "He said let you accompany me to bed, he said his daughter is very beautiful, use one of your weeks to invest in your family's company."

  Her eyes widened in surprise——

  "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I won't be able to accompany you."

  She knew her father would not rest until he had ruined her.

  However, the person behind grabbed her wrist. She turned around and was about to struggle free when he smiled slightly at her. "Want to get married? Well, Miss Wen, I also need to get married. Why don't we give them a surprise?"

  Wen Tong didn't react for a moment to his words, lost in the daze of his smile. When she came back to her senses, he had already pulled her hand and pushed open the door to walk inside.

  What happened next was a natural development, and Wen Xiong saw Gu Xi Cheng holding her hand as they came in, he didn't know how surprised he was. Originally it was a dirty flesh trade, but unexpectedly he rescued her from her predicament and unexpectedly married her. The small Wen family could climb up to the Gu family of Huacheng, Wen Xiong was naturally overjoyed, only regretting not bringing his younger daughter Wen Rou...

  However, Wen Tong did not expect that wearing a wedding dress would not lead to a happy heaven, but into a grave, a loveless tomb of marriage.

  He only had his old lover in his heart, and regarded her as a mere decoration. After marriage, he was even more flirtatious outside...

  **

  A sleepless night, got up early, Wen Ling used cold water to pat her face, making it look a bit rosier, couldn't go to the company looking so listless.

  After changing clothes and going downstairs, Aunt Ruan had already prepared breakfast.

  Of course, it was just her own share, Gu Xi Cheng had been out since last night and hadn't returned all night...

  Third Aunt stood by the dinner table and couldn't help but complain, "And Third Master is also like this, leaving a new wife at home unattended, all day long taking care of things outside..."

  "No big deal, he's busy with his own things anyway." Wen Tong interrupted her, eating breakfast alone.

  Anyway, I'm used to it now, even if they're under the same roof, they won't have much interaction.

  "How can he be so busy, with so many high-ranking officials in the company, that he doesn't even have time to accompany his wife? I think it's all because of nothing...” Aunt Ruan was saying, but seeing Wen Tong's unpleasant expression, she quickly shut her mouth and sighed. "Madam, don't blame me for speaking out of turn, this man can't be controlled too tightly, but he also can't be allowed to do as he pleases, or else opportunities will eventually be given to others, just like that fox spirit yesterday, sigh!"

  Her young mistress is like this, never arguing about anything, it makes even the servants worry.

  Wen Tong casually ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, not saying a word. What could she do? She was brought back home as a mere decoration, an excuse to placate Old Master Gu, and yet they expected him to have feelings for this decorative item?

  "Auntie Huang, I'm going to work."

  "Aw, young lady, let our family driver send you!"

  Wen Tong ignored Ruan Yi's shouting from behind and picked up her black shoulder bag before leaving the house.
