CHAPTER 115: CHAPTER 109 MR. GU SHOWS OFF HIS WIFE

Study Room

Qiao Yuxian was diligently working on her exam papers, holding a pen in her right hand to write and draw on the papers, while her left hand occasionally reached for some fruit from a plate beside her to pop into her mouth.

Gu Yanjing was working nearby, occasionally glancing at her test papers, and each time he looked, he’d notice there was a new doodle of Zhaocai on the paper.

She was drawing simple sketches.

They were simple, yet it was completely obvious that it was Zhaocai.

All in various different poses.

Some were detailed, drawn while she was listening to the audio test, sketched on the edge of the exam paper.

She drew with great focus, and Gu Yanjing thought that with her headphones on, she wasn’t really listening carefully.

But when the answers were checked, there wasn’t a single mistake.

The originally flawless exam papers looked pleasing, but the many sketches of Zhaocai all over made it hard for Gu Yanjing to be happy.

Qiao Yuxian quietly continued with her papers, and after a while, she sat side-ways on the chair, her legs hanging over the armrest, leaning her back against Gu Yanjing’s shoulder, writing while holding the paper up.

Gu Yanjing allowed her to lean.

After a while, he put on a Bluetooth headset and started a video conference.

There was a time difference between abroad and the domestic side, and since Gu Yanjing hadn’t been over there for several months, there were more video meetings than before.

As the video connected, a screen full of people appeared.

Everyone appeared smiling on the screen, but then all the smiles froze.

Firstly... Gu Yanjing was someone who rarely turned on his camera.

Secondly.... why was there a woman beside him?!

Everyone’s computers were zoomed in on Gu Yanjing’s video.

They kept staring at the scene on their computer screens, their brains in a freeze.

Wasn’t it said that their boss was like a monk!

How could there be a woman beside him!

How could there be a woman leaning on their boss’s shoulder!

Was the boss’s shoulder even leanable?

Was the boss actually so approachable?

Everyone was motionless.

Gu Yanjing didn’t seem to notice their reactions, and lightly coughed.

The people on the screens all stirred, some were arranging their documents in front of them, others pretended to be looking for something.

Then the sound of people coughing in succession came through the headset.

"Mr. Gu." The person in the top left, having gathered their composure, respectfully called out to him first.

The others quickly followed, greeting him, some mixed with imperfect Mandarin.

After they finished greeting, Gu Yanjing responded lightly, "Mm."

He gently uttered "Mm," and Qiao Yuxian turned her head to look at him, "Mm? What?"

Gu Yanjing also looked down at her, but Qiao Yuxian was not looking at him, instead, she was looking at the computer in front of him.

The screen full of people went still again. They maintained their smiles on the outside, but inside they were roaring!

There really is a woman!

An actual living person!

She moves! She moves!

And she’s so beautiful! The boss’s lady is so beautiful!

"This is..." Qiao Yuxian asked awkwardly, looking at the frozen screen of people, "in a video?"

From the other side of the ocean, the hearts of the people on the other side screamed!

The boss’s lady’s voice is so beautiful!!!!!!!!

Ah! It’s a real person! A real person! She can talk! She can talk!!

"Mm." Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian looked at the people on the screen for two seconds, then glanced at the thumbnail video on the top right, seeing herself leaning on Gu Yanjing, she suddenly stood up and dashed to the other side of the table.

Gu Yanjing raised his eyes to look at her.

Qiao Yuxian paced back and forth in front of the table, then pointed at Gu Yanjing, mouthing to him: "Like this..."

She gestured at her bare face and house clothes, mouthing further, "Seeing your people... what is your intention. What kind of image are you trying to establish for me..."

Gu Yanjing quietly watched her as she motioned and silently muttered on.

The people in the video silently watched as their boss kept looking across the table.

Qiao Yuxian said a lot, then stood with her hands on her hips, staring at him with an expression of anger.

Gu Yanjing met her gaze, paused, and said, "The image is great."

Qiao Yuxian’s index finger immediately went to her lips, motioning him to stop talking.

Gu Yanjing observed her anxious and angry little expression, and said, "Come, sit."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t move.

Gu Yanjing just looked at her, not saying anything else.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Qiao Yuxian walked back, sat down, picked up her pen, and quietly resumed her work.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her, then looked at the computer and said, "Sorry to keep you. I’ll introduce my wife to everyone another day."

There was a brief freeze, and then the headset was filled with voices of praise.

Listening to Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yuxian initially tried to maintain composure but failed. She covered her face with both hands, her ears turning red, not wanting to meet anyone’s gaze.
