Chapter 336: Chapter 309: Mr. Gu Backs You Up
Gu Group Translation Department
Just got off work, and not many people have left yet.
Originally, when Gu Yanjing came, everyone was stunned and a bit scared.
Now, with what he just said, everyone was obviously shocked again.
Isn’t he here to support his wife?
What kind of act did Xu Jingjing put on today?
Like a clown, entertaining everyone in the office repeatedly.
Not only provoking in the morning, but also mocking in the afternoon.
Now, it’s completely backfiring on her.
Xu Jingjing’s face turned pale, watching Gu Yanjing’s back. Hearing his words, she seemed to be frozen, her whole body stiff.
Qiao Yuxian sat in the chair, looking up at Gu Yanjing. After he finished speaking, she pursed her lips, and her little face gradually turned red.
You’re a big boss, and you even heard about such a trivial matter as a fight between company employees.
Aren’t you busy? Why are you gossiping too?
She was just saying it to annoy people, and he took it seriously.
Gu Yanjing looked at her blushing little face and slightly raised an eyebrow.
Qiao Yuxian, seeing the smile in his eyes, suddenly returned to her senses and bowed her head to pack her things.
Gu Yanjing picked up the coat placed behind her chair, watching as she packed a bunch of random things into her bag.
"All done." Qiao Yuxian stood up and said.
Gu Yanjing draped the coat over her shoulders, and Qiao Yuxian naturally slid her arms into the sleeves.
Once the coat was on, Gu Yanjing took the bag from her hand and held her hand.
Their actions indicated that they do this often; it was a habit.
Everyone else looked at them as if they were terracotta warriors from the famous pits.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng immediately said, "You guys go ahead, I’ll drive."
Qiao Yuxian nodded.
Gu Yanjing held her hand and led her out.
Qiao Yuxian finally looked at the colleagues around her.
She lightly coughed and smiled at everyone, saying, "I’ll be leaving first, see you tomorrow - I mean, see you Monday."
The dazed crowd quickly forced out standard yet still stiff smiles, seeing them off.
Qiao Yuxian looked at them, feeling like she was being seen off by a group of puppets.
It was terrifying.
She sped up their pace, pulling Gu Yanjing’s hand as they left.
On their way to the elevator, they encountered the logistics department with a technician coming to repair the door.
Gu Yanjing watched as the door was carried out of the elevator, and also watched Qiao Yuxian thank them warmly.
He looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Once the door and technician were gone, Qiao Yuxian looked at him and sheepishly said, "I kicked the balcony door in."
Gu Yanjing first looked at her leg: "Did you get hurt?"
"No." Qiao Yuxian shook her head, muttering softly, "That door was a safety hazard. I didn’t use much force, and it just fell. It was so embarrassing. Luckily, I have a strong psyche and managed to hold the awkward situation down."
Gu Yanjing slightly smiled.
They entered the elevator, and Gu Yanjing pressed the button for the first floor.
Qiao Yuxian asked, "Aren’t you going to work anymore?"
Ever since Qiao Yuxian started coming home with him, unless something came up, his work hours were later than the usual off-work time.
"Mm." Gu Yanjing said, "A new restaurant opened in the south of the city, let’s go try it."
Qiao Yuxian’s eyes lit up, she leaned closer to Gu Yanjing’s arm, chuckling as she sidled up to him.
Gu Yanjing lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Qiao Yuxian pursed her lips and said, "Then why didn’t you press for the parking lot?"
"Su Qi is waiting at the entrance." Gu Yanjing replied.
"Oh." Qiao Yuxian nodded and asked again, "Why are you listening to gossip now too?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her without saying anything.
But Qiao Yuxian understood his gaze: "Oh, because of me. Because I was unhappy during lunch today?"
"Because someone was jealous at lunch." Gu Yanjing said calmly.
Just then the elevator doors opened.
Gu Yanjing led her out by the hand.
Qiao Yuxian followed closely beside him, her little eyebrows almost standing up, like a little fox whose tail had been stepped on: "Who are you calling jealous! I wasn’t! I wasn’t, I wasn’t, I wasn’t."
Gu Yanjing’s thumb caressed the back of her hand as he listened to her earnest denials in a small voice.
It was rush hour, and the lobby was crowded.
Qiao Yuxian walked beside Gu Yanjing, speaking in a low voice while continuing to mutter, "Who’s jealous? Who’s jealous? Who’s jealous...".
Gu Yanjing deliberately ignored her, listening to her small voice muttering all the way.
Sure enough, Qiao Yuxian muttered all the way.
Outside, Su Qi was waiting by the car; seeing them come out, he immediately opened the car door and then walked aside on his own.
Gu Yanjing let Qiao Yuxian sit in the car, then leaned down and looked at her, saying, "It was me who was jealous."
"It wasn’t me, anyway." Qiao Yuxian said arrogantly, her head held high.
Gu Yanjing slightly smiled and said, "Mm, it was me."
"Why were you jealous?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
Gu Yanjing smoothly answered, "Jealous because you have unhappy things and don’t share them with me."
Qiao Yuxian paused with her lips pursed, then cheekily said, "Then you’re a big jealous guy."
Gu Yanjing said nothing, accepting it.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled, holding his hand and said, "I’ll try and share with you in the future."
"Try." Gu Yanjing said in a soft voice.
Qiao Yuxian looked up and smiled obediently at him.
Gu Yanjing also smiled, raising his hand to pat the top of her head. He closed the car door and walked around to the other side to get in.
After Gu Yanjing got in, Su Qi also got in and drove the car away.
Meanwhile, on the floor of the Gu Group building where the translation department was located, the windows were crowded with heads.
Everyone was looking down.
Someone started by saying Mr. Gu and Qiaoqiao were downstairs.
Then everyone’s heads squeezed towards the windows.
Watching Mr. Gu holding Qiao Yuxian’s hand, not willing to let go as they walked.
Watched as Qiao Yuxian sat in the car, with Gu Yanjing standing beside, not sure what they were talking about.
But just looking at Gu Yanjing’s back, from such a distance, it still gave off an unspeakable feeling of affection.
Clearly, Gu Yanjing’s aura was strong and cold, but when facing Qiao Yuxian, it made people feel his doting.
"Mr. Gu and Qiaoqiao really are a perfect match," Xu Qingqing suddenly said.
"I’ve always thought that someone as gentle and personable as Qiaoqiao would seem weak standing next to Mr. Gu," Lin You said, "But look. The two standing together are quite harmonious. Their aura gives off a sense of balance."
He Xin and Meng Yuchuan nodded in agreement on the side.
Qian Huai was also squeezing with everyone, looking down.
What he was thinking was.
When can I drive such a car too?
Some were simply eating their popcorn, while others were anxiously worried about their career.
The few girls who’d verbally sparred with Xu Jingjing were all worried about how they’d be dealt with.
They’d just flattered Xu Jingjing, echoing her a couple of times.
Who’d have thought that the conversation would grow louder and be directly overheard by Qiao Yuxian.
Gu Yanjing personally showed up, so they probably...
