Chapter 36: Are you afraid of me?

of alcohol and overwhelming Su Keqin's face, "You little thing, your Huang gege was waiting for you."Su Kexin almost wanted to spit it out.Huang GegeHuang, the editor-in-chief, is almost old enough to...In an instant, Gu Chi pressed down, his solid figure pressing against Su Ke Xin. The man's mature aura enveloped her completely.

"Gu Chi, you—"

Su Keqin was about to cry out in alarm, but the next words were all covered by Gu Zhi's thin lips.

The embrace held a possessive undertone, intertwined with the subtle sting of punishment. Su Kexin found herself trapped, slowly succumbing to it...

Don't

Don't

Such a feeling, it made her involuntarily think of two years ago. In an instant, she trembled with fear, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

Gu Chi seemed to notice the tremble of the woman beneath him. He looked up, and the moment he saw her tears, his body stiffened abruptly.

He stopped his aggression, supporting himself on either side of Su Keqin, bowing his head, his voice low, "Su Keqin, are you afraid of me"

Su Keqin hugged her smooth shoulders with both hands, trembling uncontrollably, without a word.

In an instant, Gu Chi only felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and the heat all over his body vanished.

He suddenly released the trembling woman beneath him, staring at her pale face and the tears glistening in her eyes. A pang of pain shot through his heart.

Damn.

What did he just do

"Su Kexin," he spoke again, his voice softening slightly. He reached out to help her up, but as soon as he got close, she flinched like an electric shock and trembled away.

Such an almost instinctive dodge made Gu Chi's heart even more agitated.

"Get some rest." Not knowing what else to say, Gu Chi could only utter that sentence before turning and leaving the room.

After Gu Chi left, Su Ke Xin lay in bed for a long time before sitting up.

Two years have passed.

She thought she had long since emerged from the shadow of two years ago, but unexpectedly, once a man approached her, she couldn't help but think about what happened two years ago.

That night, Gu Chi did not return.

The next morning, Su Ke Xin slowly went downstairs. She was struggling with how to face Gu Chi, but unexpectedly, from Zhang Ma's mouth in the restaurant, she learned that Gu Chi had gone on a business trip abroad last night.

Su Keixin was taken aback.

It seems that Gu Chi also feels incapable of facing himself.

As for what happened last night, Su Keixin couldn't figure out Gu Chi's attitude either.

Of course, she wouldn't delude herself into thinking Gu Chi had any particular feelings for her. In her view, it was merely a display of masculine dominance, nothing more.

Because her relationship with Gu Yichan was unclear, Gu Chi became angry and wanted to prove that she belonged to him.

It's just that Gu Chi's leg...

Su Keqin sighed and stopped thinking about it. She just quietly finished her meal and went to work.

Upon arriving at the magazine company, Su Kexin immediately saw that everyone was in a frenzy. She quickly grabbed someone and asked what was going on. It turned out that the Q city magazine they were supposed to collaborate with had suddenly gone bankrupt, causing their half-year's worth of preparation for the collaboration to be ruined.

Q city magazine

Wasn't that the magazine company of Huang Editor from last time

Su Keixin quickly went online to check and was surprised.

The magazine社 in Q city is quite large, it is rumored that they have powerful backing. But who would have thought that within just a few days, they would be sued by countless people. Especially Huang, the editor-in-chief who had wronged someone in Q city, he was even found guilty of false reporting and slander, resulting in his family losing everything.

Such a dramatic encounter made Su Kexin start to wonder if someone was behind it all.

Could it be Gu Chi

As soon as this thought popped into her head, she quickly shook her head to dismiss it.

Su Kexin, you can eat any food you want, but don't mess with your dreams. Although you are Gu Chi's wife, you two aren't even friends. It's good enough that he can save you, how can you expect him to stand up for you

Thinking this way, Su Keqin simply thought of it as fate—that the wicked get what they deserve.

Because of the Q City Magazine Publishing House matter, the magazine's originally planned page layout for the next issue had to be significantly revised. Su Kexin was responsible for modifying their group's content. After it was finished, Chiang Lili asked her to have Gu Yichen deliver it.

Su Ke Xin originally wanted to refuse, after all, after what happened in Q City, she really didn't want to see Gu Yihan again.

Although Gu Yichen had insulted her repeatedly before, this time he chilled her to the bone.

In his heart, how dirty and pathetic was he that he would offer himself to a man like Mr. Huang.

If she still had a glimmer of the old fondness and anticipation for Gu Yichan, it's gone now. It's completely shattered.

She really didn't want to see Gu Yichen. But she also knew that running away was useless.

And throughout it all, she did nothing wrong. Why should she be the one to run

Thinking about this, she gritted her teeth, took the modified sample, and walked towards Gu Yichen's company.

"Editor-in-chief." Su Keixin didn't even glance at Gu Yichen after entering the room. She simply spoke in a mechanical tone, "This is our team's revision. Please take a look, I'm going to leave now."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

"Halt."

I didn't want to, but Gu Yichen behind me suddenly spoke, his voice cold without a trace of warmth.

Su Kexin's body stiffened, and she didn't turn back. She just said coldly, "What is it, editor-in-chief"

"You have nothing to explain to me" Gu Yichen's voice deepened, as if he stood up and walked towards Su Kexin.

"What is it explaining" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"A lot. For example, why did you leave Q City without saying goodbye" Gu Yichen's voice was now behind her, his tone cold and terrifying, "For another example, what is your relationship with my cousin"

Su Keqin's body trembled uncontrollably. She suddenly turned around and saw Gu Yichan's face as cold and aloof as ice.

“You... how do you know—” Su Ke Xin's voice trembled.

Does Gu Yichan know that he's married to Gu Chi Did Gu Chi say something

Su Keixin was a little flustered.

Although her relationship with Gu Chi was the cleanest and simplest kind of marriage, she still didn't know how to face Gu Yihan.

After all, Gu Zhi is his younger brother-in-law, and he himself is his first love...

"You want to ask how I know about your relationship with my cousin" Gu Yichen suddenly sneered, leaning closer to Su Ke Xin, "How I know isn't important, what's important is, Su Ke Xin, have you figured out that you are a married woman, and my cousin, is also already married!"

When Su Kexin heard this, she was stunned. She stared at him in disbelief.

What does Gu Yichan mean by that

“Su Ke Xin, speak up!” Su Ke Xin’s silence seemed to thoroughly infuriate Gu Yi Han. He grabbed her shoulders and violently shook them, his voice rising in pitch, “Su Ke Xin! Why have you become like this! Adultery within marriage is one thing, but to ruin another person’s family and be a mistress is unforgivable! Where did that Su Ke Xin I once knew go”y, but her voice was already hoarse from the smoke, "I'm here! Cough cough, over here!"Even though Gu Yichen still heard Su Kexin's voice, he immediately rushed over.The fire at the door was too inten...
