CHAPTER 403: CHAPTER 373: WHY ARE YOU SO CLINGY?

"What use do you have?" Qiao Yuxian said in a low voice, frowning, "I already told you, you don’t need to step in, I can handle it myself. I can solve my matters, and I can solve yours too. Even if it comes to that point, I can still protect you. Although we’re married, it’d be better if I take action instead of you dealing with him personally. After all, you guys..."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t finish her sentence and was kissed again by Gu Yanjing.

Her words disappeared in the kiss, and she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say. She looked at him in confusion, then after a moment, said in a somewhat exasperated manner, "Stop kissing me."

Then Gu Yanjing kissed her again.

"Ah!" Qiao Yuxian grabbed the suit on his arm with both hands, shaking him, "I’m seriously discussing something with you! Stop using your charm!"

Gu Yanjing, while being shaken by her, reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her closer, and kissed her again.

Qiao Yuxian struggled a bit.

Gu Yanjing’s other hand gently pressed against the back of her head, and soon Qiao Yuxian calmed down.

Once she was quiet, Gu Yanjing released her and said, "Don’t worry."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, her eyelashes fluttering twice as she said, "I... I’m just saying, if you ever find it inconvenient to act, let me know, and I’ll take care of it."

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing wiped her lips with his thumb.

Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes fluttered again; she reached for the bag beside the desk, "I brought some food from home."

She took out a thermal food container from the bag: "I thought you might not eat well at Gu Mansion when looking for Gu Linhai, so I brought a little from home."

Gu Yanjing looked at the contents of the container: "Did you make this?"

Qiao Yuxian didn’t answer directly, instead asking, "Have you eaten?"

"Not much," Gu Yanjing said, looking at her.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "I got up early and made breakfast myself. Try it."

"Okay." Gu Yanjing accepted the chopsticks, "Have you eaten?"

"I have," Qiao Yuxian replied, "How’s grandpa? Is he okay?"

"He’s okay," Gu Yanjing replied, "The old man is quite resilient, in good health, and even hit Jian Ye a few times."

Qiao Yuxian was shocked.

Gu Yanjing ate an egg roll, found the taste very good, and then picked one out for Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian, still in shock, instinctively opened her mouth to eat it, and after chewing for a bit, she realized what she was doing. After swallowing the egg roll, she said, "You really are ruthless. Solving this matter in front of grandpa."

"He would know sooner or later," Gu Yanjing said as he handed her a piece of cheese toast.

Qiao Yuxian ate it and said, "You eat, I had a big breakfast."

Just as she finished saying that, her phone alarm rang.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her phone.

Qiao Yuxian turned off the alarm and stood up, "Okay, I’m going to work now. By the way, Qin Xia and the others are coming back this Saturday. Mr. Chu has told you, right?"

"Yes," Gu Yanjing replied, holding her hand, "I’m here."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Gu Yanjing said again, "Don’t go down."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him for a while, then bent down closer to him, saying with a smile, "How is Mr. Gu so clingy?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her smiling eyes.

Qiao Yuxian patted his shoulder, stood up straight, and imagined aloud, "I definitely won’t stay here. Who would work under the boss’s watchful eyes? It’s too scary."

Gu Yanjing said, "There are things you’re afraid of too."

"You," Qiao Yuxian replied, "You’re scary when you’re angry."

Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled, reaching out to tickle Gu Yanjing’s chin, "I’m going to earn money and support the family now."

After saying this, she picked up her bag and headed out.

Gu Yanjing’s eyes followed her as she reached the door, opened it to leave, and then returned, saying, "Honey, pick me up after work, okay?"

Gu Yanjing smiled.

Qiao Yuxian left cheerfully.

Then in the afternoon, after work, Gu Yanjing indeed went to the office to pick her up.

...

Gu Linhai’s influence in Capital City was dismantled, Old Wei and Jian Ye were captured.

Both knew many of his secrets, and Gu Linhai had to deal with them.

So he hurried back to Jin City the next day, planning meticulously, sending people from Jin City to Capital City to deal with Jian Ye and Old Wei.

Gu Linhai guessed that Gu Yanjing would relax the guard to lure him to rescue them. But he didn’t expect that no matter how meticulous his plan was, no matter how he studied Gu Yanjing’s intentions.

He was still defeated by Gu Yanjing.

The people he sent not only failed to do anything to Jian Ye and Old Wei, but they also got caught.

Gu Yanjing also took advantage of the people he sent and dismantled his local power in Jin City.

Gu Linhai immediately went to the hospital when he received the news in Jin City.

It was only at that moment that he realized, Gu Yanjing lured him to deal with Jian Ye and Old Wei with no other purpose than to eliminate his power.

To dismantle each piece one by one.

Gu Yanjing had someone inquire about the news, Gu Linhai was angered, but otherwise in good health.

This was the first confrontation between the uncle and nephew in many years, and Gu Yanjing dismantled two of Gu Linhai’s forces in a row, dealing him a heavy blow.

Letting him know, no matter what he’s doing, no matter how he deploys, he will never win.

Also letting him know, no one can touch Qiao Yuxian.

Hopefully, this heavy blow would make him stop in time.

...

On Saturday, Qiao Yuxian went to the dubbing studio early in the morning.

After several days of effort, she finally freed up the time from 5 p.m. Saturday to 3 p.m. Sunday.

To welcome Qin Xia, who had taken over the Qin Family’s power on Cui Mountain Island.

At 5:30 p.m., Qiao Yuxian waited for Qin Xia and Chu Zhengran, as well as Liu Zhou and Yuan Weishangchen at Lin’s Clubhouse.

Knowing they arrived.

Qiao Yuxian immediately grabbed a party popper and ran to the door.

As Qin Xia came in, she twisted the popper open: "Welcome home!"

Qin Xia was taking off her hat when she was suddenly startled, yelled, and stepped back two steps, stepping on Chu Zhengran’s foot.

Chu Zhengran steadied her and said, "Be careful."

Qin Xia pulled her arm out of his grasp, glared at him, took off her sunglasses, and walked over to hug Qiao Yuxian with a cheerful grin: "Ah—my Xian."

"Welcome, Qin Family Leader." Qiao Yuxian hugged her.

"My Xian, I missed you so much." Qin Xia said, hugging her tightly.

Chu Zhengran, behind Qin Xia, exchanged a glance with Qiao Yuxian and then walked over to Gu Yanjing, watching the two embracing.

Liu Zhou, Yuan Wei, and Shang Chen followed them over.

"Sister Xian," Liu Zhou called out.

"Sis," Yuan Wei called out with a smile.

Qiao Yuxian released Qin Xia and looked at Yuan Wei, noting that he had gained some weight, she ruffled his hair somewhat gently.

Yuan Wei giggled naively.

Liu Zhou instinctively glanced at Gu Yanjing, who seemed anxious that Gu Yanjing might twist off Yuan Wei’s head.

But Gu Yanjing just watched them, without any other reactions, which relieved Liu Zhou a bit.

Then Shang Chen came over and stood there with a straight face, looking at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian also looked at him, curious about what he would say after being away for a while.

But Shang Chen only moved his lips and said nothing.

After not seeing each other for many days, the two of them just stared at each other without speaking a word.

Then Qiao Yuxian waved her hands and said, "Go on, go see your dear Mr. Gu."

Shang Chen nodded respectfully and walked over to Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Yuxian stared daggers at the back of his head from behind...
