Chapter 8: Desiring His Body

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Moling did not understand how Qiao Xi seemingly became like this overnight. His tone was full of disappointment. “People from the countryside are just insensible. No matter what Rou Rou and the others have done, it doesn’t change that you’re an ingrate. Someone like you isn’t worthy of marrying into the Gu family!”

He was extremely glad that he had not agreed to marry Qiao Xi because of the 65% shares.

Marrying such a woman would not only be of no help to him but she would also drag him down.

Not fit to marry into the Gu family?

“Ah!” Qiao Xi suddenly recalled that she had already married into the Gu family, and the person she married was the head of the Gu family, Gu Moling’s uncle.

“It’s not up to you to decide whether I’m worthy or not…”

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. She was looking forward to Gu Moling’s expression when he saw her in the Gu family.

With that, she did not give Gu Moling any chance to continue speaking and hung up.

…

The next morning, Qiao Xi opened her eyes to look at the unfamiliar ceiling and suddenly recalled that she was already married.

However, what about Gu Zheng?

He did not come back to the master bedroom last night?

After washing up, she went downstairs and happened to see the door of the guest room on the second floor open. Gu Zheng walked out wearing a gray set of loungewear.

He was tall and had long legs. His peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, making him look carefree.

Qiao Xi sized up Gu Zheng from head to toe. “You slept there? Why?”

What other reason could it be? Of course, it was because she occupied the master bedroom! Gu Zheng rolled his eyes silently.

“Are you shy?”

Qiao Xi was very understanding as she tried to enlighten him. “Actually, there’s nothing to be shy about. We’ve already registered our marriage, so we’ll have to sleep on the same bed sooner or later.”

Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks. “You really want to sleep with me?”

He remembered Qiao Xi’s burning gaze when she stared at his hand. He remembered that she would kiss his fingertip every now and then. In conclusion, did this woman desire his body?

“Actually, we don’t have to sleep together, but you have to let me kiss your fingers from time to time.”

Imagining herself sleeping on the same bed as Gu Zheng, Qiao Xi fell silent and changed her mind. She targeted Gu Zheng’s fingers.

Her words made Gu Zheng even more certain that this woman desired his body!

“If I remember correctly, you wanted to divorce me yesterday, right? After transferring the shares to me, we can get a divorce. That’s what you wanted to tell me.”

Gu Zheng was two heads taller than Qiao Xi. With his hands in his pockets, his tall body slowly approached Qiao Xi as he gave off an enormous amount of pressure.

The reason he agreed to Qiao Xi’s proposal at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau was mainly to deal with his father. Secondly, he had discerned that Qiao Xi did not really want to marry him. She was mostly thinking of cooperating with him, hence their marriage was for mutual benefits.

All this was aligned to Gu Zheng’s expectations of this marriage as well.

Now, Qiao Xi’s attitude had changed. She actually dared to lust after his body. This was absolutely intolerable!

During this period they were together, it had always been Qiao Xi who took the initiative. Now that Gu Zheng was suddenly approaching her first, it caused Qiao Xi to be unable to adapt for a moment. However, she quickly gathered herself.

“I admit that I did have plans to divorce you at the start, but there was an incident later. We can talk about divorce later.”

Qiao Xi took out her phone and opened the transfer contract that she had drafted last night. “In order to compensate you, I can transfer the shares of Qiao Corporation to you in advance.”

After a pause, she added, “Other than that, I can promise you three things even though I don’t usually make promises.”

Gu Zheng: “… What could I possibly be lacking?”

With his status and identity, what could he ask of Qiao Xi, this young miss who had returned from the countryside? Should he ask her for help in farming?

Qiao Xi shrugged. “Anything’s fine.”

Gu Zheng’s thin lips curled up slightly. He was about to open his mouth to retort when Qiao Xi’s phone rang.

“Hold on, let me take this call first.”

Qiao Xi took a step back to distance herself from Gu Zheng before taking out her phone to answer the call.

Gu Zheng observed her small actions and could not help but let out a soft chuckle.

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately sounded as Mr. Qiao shouted in exasperation, “Qiao Xi, where are you?! The servants said that you didn’t come home last night. Could it be that you went to hang out with a man? Don’t you have any shame?! The Qiao family’s reputation has been trampled to the ground by you!”

Qiao Xi moved the phone farther away. When the voice on the other end gradually became softer, she reminded unhurriedly, “The Qiao family’s reputation was completely trampled to the ground by you 20 years ago. Also, I told you yesterday that I’ve gotten married.”

Gu Zheng looked up at her with an inexplicable expression.

Qiao Xi was not in the mood to analyze Gu Zheng’s micro-expressions. She continued speaking into her phone, “If you’re calling to say this nonsense, then please hang up.”

Mr.. Qiao gritted his teeth and said, “Qiao Xi, don’t think that you can escape from me just because you’re married. Come to the hospital before three in the afternoon and we’ll talk! Bring your husband along!”
