Wen Jing said, “President, I’ve already arrived here and met with President Gu, but president gu complained that you didn’t come personally and even questioned our sincerity.”

Xia Xiaodie was silent for a few seconds on the other end, then said softly, “Pass the phone to President Gu. I’ll explain it to him personally.”

“Yes, President.”

Wen Jing passed the phone to Gu Yilin. “President Gu, our president would like to talk to you.”

Gu Yilin turned his body slightly and his gaze fell on Wen Jing’s phone. Then, he reached out and took the phone and placed it by his ear, but he did not say anything.

Very soon, Xia Xiaodie’s soft voice reached his ear, like a silver-bell girl lying on his handsome shoulder, whispering to him, “Hello, President Gu. I value Gu Xia’s cooperation this time, but for some reason, it’s not convenient for me to go there.”

Gu Yilin curled his slender fingers and asked in a low and slightly displeased voice, “What Reason?”

If she couldn’t tell him the reason today, he wouldn’t let it go.

“President Gu, I’m not feeling well,”Xia Xiaodie said.

She said that she was not feeling well.

Gu Yilin’s gloomy face froze for a moment. At this moment, his personal secretary walked to his side and reported in a low voice, “President, it is reported that President Xia is indeed not feeling well, and it has been a long time. Since the launch of the Zhi Xing project app, President Xia has hardly appeared in the public’s view. It can be said that he is quite low-key and mysterious. The Xia Corporation has even pushed all financial interviews and business meetings. So this time, President Xia did not come personally… it is probably understandable.”

Was she not feeling well?

Gu Yilin frowned slightly. His deep gaze made it impossible to see through what he was thinking. After a long while, he lifted his thin lips and said, “That’s all.”

He immediately hung up the phone.

He threw the phone to Wen Jing. Gu Yilin glanced at the personal secretary and said, “I’ll leave this to you.”

Gu Yilin left.

The personal secretary smiled and said, “Secretary Wen, we can sign the contract now. This way, please.”

..

In the President’s office.

The personal secretary walked in. “President, we have already signed the contract with the Xia Corporation. The relevant departments will do their best to follow up on the future cooperation matters. Secretary Wen did not stay any longer and has already taken a plane back.”

Gu Yilin took out a cigarette from his cigarette pack and held it between his thin lips. Then, he lit a faint red flame with a lighter and started to swallow the smoke.

The atmosphere in the office was a little heavy. The private secretary realized that the President had been smoking a lot recently. “President, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

The private secretary was about to leave, but Gu Yilin suddenly spoke up, “Is she sick?”

Is she sick?

The private secretary knew that she was referring to Xia Xiaodie.

“President, I’m not too sure about this. Miss Xia… President Xia is no longer the same as before. If you want to get close to her, you have to make an appointment. She’s quite low-key and mysterious. The company executives around her are all her founding partners who are loyal to her. That’s why I haven’t heard of her personal matters at all.”

The smoke blurred Gu Yilin’s handsome face. He narrowed his eyes, “Find an opportunity to casually tell that Wen Jing that Miracle Doctor Sikong of Guting Castle has superb medical skills. If you need any help, you can let her know.”

The private secretary was stunned. The president was already married to Xuan Yingluo. was he still worried about Xia Xiaodie?

“Yes,”the private secretary answered, then said hesitantly, “CEO, I’ve heard some… gossip about CEO Xia.”

As soon as he said that, Gu Yilin’s narrow eyes behind the smoke fell on the private secretary’s face, and he said with an indescribable gloominess, “What gossip?”

The private secretary really wanted to slap himself. He had nothing to say, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “Now that President Xia has become the founder of the Empire and the number one beauty CEO, everyone looks up to and admires him. However, President Xia is only 19 years old after all, and he’s born… Like a flower, like a jade. His eyes are clean and bright, and no one can compare to him. That’s why, in private, the second generation of the rich and powerful all… all like President Xia very much. When those men are in love, they even like to follow President Xia’s example and have fun. Everyone even started a bet to see who would be able to win President Xia’s heart and eat this… Soft Rice.”

Gu Yilin’s breathing became heavy. He suddenly recalled the time when Xia Xiaodie had not gotten along with him. At that time, as a talented girl and the school Belle, she had already become the target of those rich men, many of them drove sports cars to her dormitory to pursue her, and he had even raced cars with a rich man for her.

After breaking up with him for so long, her charm had grown.

The men who pursued her were no longer of the same level as before, but everyone was fighting to eat her “Soft rice”.

The private secretary felt that he had said too much. If he continued talking, he might not be able to get out alive. “President, I’ll be leaving first.”

The private secretary quickly left.

Just as he slipped out of the door, before the private secretary could catch his breath, there was a loud noise behind him. Gu Yilin had already swept all the documents on his desk onto the carpet.

The private secretary closed his eyes and was about to cry. He could only turn around and clean up the mess.

..

Two months later.

Gu Yilin reduced his workload and stayed by Xuan Yingluo’s side. Xuan Yingluo was now seven months pregnant and her lower abdomen was high.

Zhou Yu did not make any movements. After all, Xuan Yingluo was too well protected. Zhou Yu was not in a hurry. He hung on like a cat that had caught a rat.

However, things hadn’t been peaceful recently. Although Wang Qi had been dealt with, his father, elder Wang, had escaped. Everyone knew that elder Wang wanted to take revenge on Xuan Yingluo and he was like a ticking time bomb, although the Lord had ordered a full-scale search, there was still no trace of elder Wang.

Xuan Yingluo was seven months pregnant and it wasn’t convenient for her to move around. The Lord had given her a long holiday and it was now a hot summer day. After a discussion between Tang Mo’er and Xia Ling’s two mothers, Gu Yelin brought Xuan Yingluo out to escape the heat.

As for where to go for the summer, Tang Mo’er said to Gu Yilin, “Yilin, Zhongnanhai has spring all year round and the scenery is beautiful. It’s very suitable for summer gestation. Why Don’t you bring Yingluo there for a tour?”

Gu Yilin looked at the documents in his hands and didn’t even raise his head. “Mom, Zhongnanhai is good, but it hasn’t been developed yet.”

“Who said that?”? “I heard that Zhongnanhai has been developed and built an incomparably beautiful seaside villa. It just so happens that I have connections with them, so I’ve already informed them to let you bring Yingluo to live there for a month or two. If you have nothing to do, you can pick up seashells from the beach and bask in the Sun. How comfortable would that be?”

Zhongnanhai had been developed and built a villa?

Then it could only be said that the owner of this villa was very rich.
