——"By the way, I have a house in Xiangshan. Would you like to stay there tonight?"
Just after finishing all the procedures, when she heard Xiao Mu suddenly say this, Gu Yichen looked at his big hand on her arm with some embarrassment.
His white and clean fingers were still as slender and beautiful as before. She only twisted her wrist slightly to get out of his big palm, and glanced at Manager Lu and Lawyer Bai in the room with some scruples.
He spoke calmly, with a hint of pleading, "Mr. Xiao——"
Xiao Mu immediately understood the meaning in her eyes and waved his hand to signal the two people to leave first.
Manager Lu and Lawyer Bai saluted him respectfully and disappeared in front of them as quickly as possible.
Xiao Mu then reached out to close the door of the room, took a step forward, turned Gu Yichen's body around, and stood against her. His tall and slightly thin body cast a dark shadow in front of her forehead, a kind of long-lost feeling.
And the familiar fresh male scent immediately wrapped tightly around her slender and delicate body...
Gu Yichen slightly lowered his beautiful eyes, silently took a step back, and heard the man's calm voice coming from his ears,
"Chenchen, you are thinking too much! I just think that since you have decided to divorce, it is inconvenient to go back to that home, right? I am the first person to know the news, right? You must not have told your uncle yet,
Auntie, you want to get divorced, otherwise, your mobile phone will not be so quiet."
Gu Yichen raised her head in confusion, and had to admit that this childhood sweetheart really understood her thoughts.
"I know you don't want your uncle and aunt to worry, but they don't know about this yet. You running home suddenly will only increase their troubles. Besides, you know, I don't live in the house in Xiangshan.
.You don’t need to be so nervous.”
His gentle palms fell on her thin shoulders, holding them tightly and forcefully, as if he wanted to pour the warmth and strength from his body into her body. He was still the one who loved her.
And her elder brother who was always considerate to her.
He has been like this since he was a child. Even though he often disagrees with her actions in his heart, he is still willing to stay by her side silently and support her decisions unconditionally.
Gu Yichen's eyes turned slightly red, and she said in a dumb voice, "Xiao Mu, thank you..."
Thank you for being willing to protect me and help me like this, thank you for lending me such a large sum of money without hesitation, and thank you for fulfilling my wish to keep the Gu family.

Gu Yichen finally asked Xiao Mu to send her back to the Gu family. Her trip back to her parents' home would not officially end until tonight, and she had not formally filed for divorce from Huo Tianyuan.
Things must be done one by one so as not to get into a mess.
The silver-gray Porsche parked outside the gate of Gu's house. When Gu Yichen reached out to push the car door, Xiao Mu grabbed her arm again and looked at her deeply. There was obvious worry on Qing Jun's face.
"Chenchen, can I stay at your house tonight?"
He really didn't want to let her go like this. He was worried that Huo Tianyuan would use some means to force her to change his mind. He was afraid that she would fly away from his palm again.
A few crimson blushes appeared on Gu Yichen's pretty little face, and she said sarcastically, "No way... my parents will misunderstand..."
Her soft voice and shy expression were still the pure and lovely little girl he remembered.
Xiao Mu finally discovered the things that hadn't changed about her. He unconsciously reached out a hand and gently rubbed her pink cheeks with his warm fingertips. He mumbled in a hoarse and dissatisfied voice, "I
What did I do wrong that God wants to punish me like this?"
His annoyed voice made Gu Yichen's face suddenly darken, she pushed away the man's big hand and said coldly, "Actually, I still want to ask you, last time you said you wanted me to give up the property rights of Meixi
, why is there no more content later? Is your mother really willing to let go?"
Xiao Mu retracted his arms, and his nostalgic face gradually became darker, "I was ill for a while, and my mother never mentioned it to me again. Although, I knew she was blaming me in her heart.
But, Chenchen, as long as it’s something I decide, my mother won’t be able to stop me in the end, so you don’t have to worry.”
Gu Yichen vaguely sensed that the relationship between mother and son didn't seem to be harmonious recently?
Then he said indifferently, "I am not qualified to interfere with your family affairs, but I think it is best to tell her about the money you lent me this afternoon! You know, the Gu family's current situation cannot withstand the slightest storm.
"
After saying that, she resolutely opened the car door, leaving Xiao Mu with a beautiful back that was endlessly obsessed with...
——She said that the Gu family's current situation cannot withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain.
However, Gu Yichen, it’s not just the Gu family who can’t withstand the wind and rain. Don’t you know? Whatever you want, I, Xiao Mu, will satisfy you at all costs.
But, Gu Yichen, my heart is already bruised and bruised. When will you come back and help me heal?
Through the half-open car window, Xiao Mu stared blankly at the spot. After the heavy mixed metal door of Gu's house closed little by little, he slowly started the engine and drove away from Gu's house slowly...
…

When Gu Yichen returned to Gu's house, Mrs. Gu had already stewed a pot of fragrant chicken soup. She saw her daughter walking in from the door, lowering her head and changing into slippers, while shouting into the house, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
!”
Mrs. Gu put down the soup pot in her hand and glanced at her daughter with a smile, "Are you hungry? Go wash your hands and come over for dinner."
Gu Yichen agreed, put away the medium-heeled calfskin short boots she had changed into, and walked home——
The TV in the living room was on, and the volume vaguely reached Gu Yichen's ears. It was the financial reports that Chairman Gu often talked about. He glanced at the data on the screen from time to time, and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Reading through the newspaper reports.
Sensing her daughter's figure approaching from behind, she reached out to take off her glasses and glanced at her with confusion, "You're back? Is everything in the company okay?"
Gu Yichen said soothingly that everything was fine.
Chairman Gu smacked his lips, turned back, and continued to study his financial masterpiece.
Gu Yichen was about to go upstairs when Chairman Gu suddenly turned around and asked, "Where is Tianyuan? Why didn't you come back together?"
Gu Yichen's leg-raising movement froze in mid-air for a moment, and she quickly said that Huo Tianyuan still had something to do, and would be back after a while.
Chairman Gu gave a mock "Huh" and said no more.
Gu Yichen opened the door and entered her bedroom. She threw away the briefcase in her hand and took out her mobile phone to call Huo Tianyuan——
As Xiao Mu said, she didn't want her parents to worry about her.
Mrs. Gu has only known her life to revolve around her husband's joys and sorrows. Chairman Gu has not fully recovered after experiencing the last bankruptcy crisis. She really doesn't want to tell them this news that makes matters worse.
At least, in the short term, she didn't want her parents to be worried and anxious about it.
The phone rang for a while before the man on the other end answered, "Yeah."
His short and steady tone sounded as if everything was under his control.
Gu Yichen pursed her lips and smiled coldly, "..."
Until the man noticed something was wrong, he raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Yichen suppressed the sneer on her lips and asked lightly, "When will you come to my house tonight? My mother has already prepared dinner."
The man on the phone was silent for a moment. Gu Yichen heard that there seemed to be something strange coming from his side?
The man seemed to have escaped from somewhere and was far away, and then he said to her, "Tell your parents that I have to work overtime at the company tonight, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
…
Gu Yichen didn't ask any more questions. That was fine. The embarrassment of being in the same room tonight could be avoided.
He went downstairs and told his parents at the dinner table that he was going to work overtime.
Mrs. Gu put down the chopsticks in her hand and murmured distressedly, "It's not good if this business is too big. I can't even get a bite of hot food or rice."
Chairman Gu glanced at Mrs. Gu coolly, "Only now do you realize how ignorant you were before?" He took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, looking aggrieved.
Mrs. Gu's face became a little embarrassed. She glanced at her husband, raised her head again, looked at her daughter sitting opposite and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to portion out the food and put it in a thermos. I'll put it in a while."
Sister Cai sent it to Tianyuan. In such a cold weather, he needs to eat well."
Sister Cai finished her meal in the backyard and returned to the kitchen. She happened to hear Mrs. Gu's words and said quickly, "Then I'll go now to avoid starving my uncle!"
Chairman Gu looked at the women in the room and said solemnly, "Let Chenchen go! You are already married to someone else, so you should fulfill your obligations."
Mrs. Gu felt sorry for her daughter and hesitantly wanted to dissuade her, "But Chenchen is pregnant! It's dark outside again..."
Chairman Gu's voice was extremely low, "No matter how hard it is, a wife should care about her husband."
It was rare for his father to say such meaningful words, and it was hard for Gu Yichen to argue.
After finishing the meal, he picked up the thermos box prepared by Mrs. Gu and hurried out the door.
She drove her father's car to have it repaired. When Gu Yichen walked out of Gu's house, she stopped a taxi and asked the driver to take her to Huo's Building.
About ten minutes later, the car arrived at Huo's. She paid the fare and when she got off, she felt the cool and whooshing wind blowing in the night. It made her face feel cold and her nose was unusually red.
She took the elevator and went directly to the 88th floor. As expected, the corridor was brightly lit.
She walked to the door of the president's office and knocked lightly. When she didn't hear anyone's answer, she opened the door and found that the majestic office was empty, with no one in sight.

The monthly vote is 171, don’t you want to see the extra update today? If you vote for 9 more votes, I will tell Brother Mu to stay away from Mrs. Huo, okay? o(n_n)o~. Mr. Xiao, please don’t glare at me.
It's because you guys don't want to see you, and there's nothing I can do about it...
