Chapter 9: The Little Girl from Back Then

in disbelief.Before I even reached the office door, I heard Mountain Cat cheering loudly, like a kid who just got given a candy."You're only happy because you know you've become the hottest topic of t..."We already have some clues," Gu Chi said simply.

"That's quite good," Lin Ze laughed again. "I was wondering how you would repay me. I even expected you to give yourself to me, but I didn't expect you to have already sold yourself."

For Lin Ze's shameless teasing, Gu Chi didn't even bother to respond.

Lin Ze had gotten himself into a bit of a pickle, his face flushed with embarrassment. But when his gaze fell on Gu Chi's wheelchair beneath him, his eyes couldn't help but flicker. "That... Gu Chi, you tell your sister-in-law about your leg"

Gu Chi had already begun browsing the financial report just submitted by the Finance Department. Hearing this question, his hand paused as he moved the mouse.

"No." he said quietly after a moment.

Lin Ze frowned slightly, "Gu Chi, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but no matter what your purpose was for marrying your sister-in-law, since you are already married, do you plan to keep it a secret forever Perhaps…"

Having said that, Lin Ze paused for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and continued, "Perhaps you should also try to see if you can accept this new sister-in-law. You can't live in the shadow of the past forever, right"

He understood Gu Chi's personality too well. Although he superficially said that marrying a wife was to please his elders, if the other party wasn't someone he genuinely liked, he wouldn't accept marriage or cohabitation.

Gu Chi remained silent, not answering Lin Ze. After quickly browsing through the report, he finally spoke in a low voice.

Once tasted the sea, it is hard to drink water again.

Lin Ze was stunned.

He looked at Gu Chi's indifferent face, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

Ten years ago, the car accident was a nightmare for them all.

Everyone thought that Gu Chi lost his legs in the car accident.

But actually, they were all wrong.

That car accident, Gu Chi lost wasn't his leg, it was his heart.

Su Keqin returned home from work and saw Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang dragging their suitcases into the living room.

"Zhang Ma, Wang Shu, what are you doing..."

"Madam, our son is getting married tomorrow, and we're going to attend his wedding." Zhang said kindly.

"Well then, congratulations!" Su Kexin said. "How long will the wedding last"

"We're having a dinner party in S City tonight, and he'll be back tomorrow evening." Zhang Ma smiled gently, but her gaze fell on Gu Chi with a hint of worry. "The only problem is that if there's no one at home, no one will prepare breakfast for Young Master tomorrow morning."

Su Keqin was a little embarrassed.

"It's truly a wealthy household, isn't it Even for just breakfast, they need to hire someone"

"It's alright." Gu Chi spoke, interrupting Su Ke Xin's daydreaming. "Su Ke Xin, you should know how to cook, right"

"Huh" Su Ke Xin didn't react at all, looking up to meet Gu Chi's dark and deep eyes, "I... I will."

Su Keixin had just answered when she remembered Wang Ma's lavish breakfast this morning and couldn't help but add two more words, "a little..."

A hint of a smile flashed across Gu Chi's eyes, gone as quickly as it appeared.

"That's enough." he murmured.

The following morning.

Su Ke Xin got up an hour early and managed to put together a breakfast that was barely edible.

Just as I was about to call Gu Chi downstairs, I saw him coming out of the elevator.

"Do you have a battery"

Su Keqin was stunned for a moment before recognizing that what Gu Chi held in his hand was an electric razor.

Su Keixin took it and looked, “It needs a button battery. Do you have one at home”

"No."

Su Keqin glanced at Gu Chi, his jaw already had a bluish beard stubble. It did need to be shaved, "Are there convenience stores or supermarkets nearby"

"No."

Su Ke Xin was stunned, "What Nothing"

Gu Chi shook his head.

Su Keqin immediately knelt down to this rich man's life.

"What are we going to do now" Su Keixin said helplessly, "Why don't you have your assistant buy it"

"He's already on his way. He has an important meeting today, he probably won't be able to make it." Gu Chi frowned. "I asked Uncle Zhang, he has a new razor, but not an electric one. I'm not very good with those."

Su Keqin was stunned for a moment before understanding what Gu Chi wanted from her. He wanted her to shave his beard

"Where" Su Ke Xin suddenly felt that this Gu Chi also had a bit of cuteness, pursed her lips, "I will use it, I'll help you shave."

"In the storage cabinet."

Su Ke Xin quickly found a straight razor, the most old-fashioned kind, which also required lubricant. Su Ke Xin carefully applied lubricant around Gu Chi's chin and then carefully shaved him.

For a moment, Su Ke Xin and Gu Chi were so close that Su Ke Xin's breath could be felt on Gu Chi's cheek.

Gu Chi merely raised his eyes slightly, and he could see Su Ke Xin's face right before him. He could even see the fine hairs on her fair skin, like those on a peach.

"What's wrong" It seemed Su Ke Xin noticed Gu Chi's gaze, her originally tense nerves became even more so. "I didn't scratch you, did I"

"No." Gu Chi spoke, his voice as cold as ever. "I just feel like this makes you seem like my real wife."

Su Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed slightly.

Although they were truly married, Gu Chi used the word "seemingly".

He was proving to himself, as if he were realizing it for the first time, that this whirlwind marriage felt just as unreal to him as it did to her.

"Good." Su Ke Xin quickly finished shaving Gu Chi's beard. After carefully wiping off all the lubricant, she glanced at it and couldn't help but raise her lips slightly, "Very clean."

"Thank you." Gu Chi spoke with a casual tone, then wheeled his chair to the dining table to eat.

Because of the intimate contact just now, both people at the dinner table were a little awkward. Su Kexin even forgot to ask Gu Chi if he was satisfied with her cooking.

After dinner, Yang Zuo arrived. Gu Chi was in a hurry today and couldn't see Su Ke Xin to the subway station. So Su Ke Xin called a car directly to the magazine office.

As soon as Su Kexin arrived at the magazine office, she noticed a shift from yesterday's joyful atmosphere. The mood was tense. Su Kexin couldn't help but grab Xiaomei's arm and whispered, "What happened"

"Ke Xin, didn't you see this morning's email" Xiaomei widened her eyes. "Our magazine company was acquired yesterday! All the high-level executives have been replaced!"

Su Kexin was stunned.

Although their magazine company isn't very large, it has been around for several years. How could it suddenly be acquired

Before she could even react, she heard a commotion from her colleagues by the door.

Here it comes! The new editor is here!

Su Keqin looked up and saw a slender figure walking into the magazine office surrounded by a crowd of people.

At the moment she saw his face, Su Ke Xin only felt like she had been struck on the head, her blood running cold.moment, and finally clenched her fists before walking over with a determined look."Quiet down everyone! I'm the manager of the photo studio, and things aren't what you think they are!" Zhao Yinan shou...
