Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Gu Xiao hung up the call from Ji Chen, she threw the phone aside.
She looked at Chu An, who was peeling fruits for her, and smiled slightly. “Brother called me just now and said that he had already left the Ji Group. He told us that if we want to do anything, we don’t have to worry about him anymore.”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An raised his eyebrows, but his hands didn’t stop moving.
“That’s good. 1’11 arrange for someone to release the video as soon as possible.”
After Chu An peeled the apple, he handed it to Gu Xiao and sat down beside her.
Gu Xiao took a bite of the apple and felt the juice burst in her mouth, followed by the unique sweetness of the apple. She handed the apple to Chu An. “Try it. This apple is not bad.”
Chu An glanced at the apple in front of him, then his gaze landed on Gu Xiao.
After the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds, Gu Xiao was the first to admit defeat. She flipped the apple in her hand and placed the spot where she had already taken a bite of in front of Chu An.
When Chu An saw this, he retracted her gaze in satisfaction. After taking a bite at the place where Gu Xiao had already bitten, he gestured for Gu Xiao to take it back and continue eating.
Chu An was about to continue talking about the video when Chu Zi’s voice came from behind them.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting sick from eating such sweet food so early in the morning?”
Chu An came back to his senses and just happened to meet Chu Zi’s slightly malicious gaze.
Gu Xiao sensed that Chu Zi had come down, so she was too embarrassed to continue leaning on Chu An. She moved her body and planned to sit up straight. However, before she could really sit properly, she was grabbed by Chu An’s hand and returned to her previous posture of leaning on Chu An.
“Isn’t it just that Sister-in-law didn’t come down with you? Do you have to target me so early in the morning?” Chu An bluntly pointed out Chu Zi’s ill intentions.
Gu Xiao smiled at Chu Zi in embarrassment.
She had already forgotten that this wasn’t her and Chu An’s villa. She and Chu An had stayed in the Chu family’s manor last night.
Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An beside her. Chu An must have given her a strong sense of security, making her feel that wherever Chu An was, it was home. That was why she couldn’t help herself…
After pushing the blame to Chu An, the embarrassment in her heart lessened slightly.
Chu Zi saw Gu Xiao’s embarrassed gaze and glanced at his thick-skinned brother. He snorted coldly in his heart.
He walked down the stairs and looked down at Chu An.
“I know best why your sister-in-law didn’t get up today! Heh, I’m different from you.” Chu Zi glanced at the apple of Gu Xiao and his brother hadn’t finished in disdain. “You can only take advantage of Xiaoxiao on such matters.”
With that, Chu Zi sneered at Chu An and left the manor.
Chu An looked at Chu Zi’s smug back and gritted his teeth fiercely.
It was just that his sister-in-law was not here. If his sister-in-law was here, he would see if Chu Zi still dared to say such things.
Although he thought so, Chu Zi’s words just now still hit Chu An’s sore spot.
He thought for a moment and put away the hateful look on his face. When he faced Gu Xiao, he looked aggrieved.
“Xiaoxiao! Look at my brother! He’s already bullying me like this. Can’t you help me?”
Gu Xiao met Chu An’s lustful gaze and thought of the meaning behind Chu Zi’s words just now. She couldn’t help but blush slightly. She lowered her head and ate her apple, pretending not to hear Chu An’s words.
If they were at home, she might have given Chu An some benefits.
However, in the Chu family’s manor, with Mr Chu and Mrs Chu around, she really did not want to experience that awkward situation again.
Seeing that Chu An didn’t look like he would stop until he received a response, Gu Xiao couldn’t really pretend that she hadn’t realized anything.
She raised her head and whispered into Chu An’s ear.
Chu An’s eyes instantly lit up, and his hand tightly gripped Gu Xiao’s wrist. “Xiaoxiao, was what you said just now true?”
Gu Xiao nodded.
Chu An’s index finger rubbed Gu Xiao’s wrist bit by bit, as if he was planning what to do, so as to achieve his goal for what Gu Xiao had just agreed to..
