Chapter 100: You Choose

Du Minghua glanced at her, then turned and went into the master bedroom to make a phone call to his son who was abroad.

……

Gu Xijue didn't return to the villa until late at night, by which time Song Jin'an had already coaxed Gu Hetang to sleep.

The two remained silent. When the man reappeared, he had already showered, was wrapped in a towel, and his hair was still dripping wet. Song Jin'an frowned, wondering why he was in her room like this. She frowned and looked at the water droplets on the floor, feeling annoyed.

Gu Xijue walked up to her, dried his hair with the towel in his hand, and then sat down on the sofa, with a rather imperious air: "Dry my hair."

Song Jin'an's furrowed brows deepened, and she gestured with her hand.

—Your hand is broken?

—If those rich young ladies are willing to condescend to be their daughters' tutors, it shouldn't be difficult for them to blow-dry your hair, right?

Gu Xijue looked down at her, his eyes full of inquiry: "Jealous?"

Song Jin'an sneered twice and gestured again.

—I'd rather eat anyone else's food than yours!

Gu Xi was also feeling annoyed, so he threw the towel in his hand at her and said, "I'll say it again, come and dry my hair."

A cold smile appeared in Song Jin'an's eyes, and she stared at him intently, not giving him a single word.

—Okay, I'll call Ms. Du now. She should be very happy to help.

As she spoke, she prepared to take out her phone to make a call, but the man quickly snatched it away, even browsing through her social media apps a couple of times. He raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't want to blow-dry your husband's hair, but you want to blow-dry some other man's?"

He glanced at Jiang Ciyu's chat box with obvious displeasure! His narrow eyes held a hint of anger, while Song Jin'an reached out and demanded that he switch the phone back!

She pursed her lips, and soon heard Gu Xijue's voice again: "Blow-dry my hair, and I'll give you the phone."

Scoundrel!

Song Jin'an was cursing him in her heart!

If she could speak, she would definitely curse the man in front of her to a pulp!
Walking into the bathroom, Gu Xijue took out the hairdryer and plugged it in. He was very satisfied, enjoying the hands that were stroking his hair, even though it was a bit heavy.

Song Jin'an had no patience and finished blowing it in no time. Just as she unplugged the plug and was about to turn and leave, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed her waist, and she fell onto the man's lap.

Song Jin'an struggled, but was firmly restrained. Then she heard his voice: "Why are you running? We have a marriage certificate."

She started gesturing.

—But I've already signed the divorce papers.

Unusually, Gu Xijue did not lose his temper, but calmly looked at her and said, "But I did not sign it. You are still my Mrs. Gu."

The two were very close, and both were very hot.

At this moment, Gu Xijue's eyes no longer held the usual disdain, but instead showed a touch of warmth. He looked at the woman's small face, which should have been fair and radiant, but seemed to have gained some color, appearing a bit darker, and her skin was a bit rougher...

Song Jin'an felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that. She moved her body slightly, but the man gently pulled her into his arms: "Don't move, let me hug you."

She even wondered if the man in front of her had taken the wrong medicine.

Why is he so gentle and tender tonight? It's like they're a perfect couple truly in love. Lost in thought, the next second, her lips were captured in a kiss.

Before long, Song Jin'an's clothes were in a mess, and both of their hearts were racing, especially Gu Xijue's.

With her tacit consent, the man carried her to the bed. After they finished, Gu Xijue slept in the second bedroom, while Song Jin'an lay in his arms. Although she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep.

Their relationship had nothing to do with love, and they had already signed a divorce agreement, so they shouldn't have had a relationship.

Moreover, the Gu family's old residence will definitely force Gu Xijue to sign the divorce papers. Even if he doesn't want to divorce now for some reason, he will eventually sign them and let other women into the house.

Song Jin'an sighed inwardly and slowly fell asleep. She woke up again at 7:30 in the morning.

Gu Xijue was still sleeping next to her, with one hand on her waist. She lifted the blanket and had just put on her shoes when a lazy male voice sounded behind her: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Without waiting for a reply, he reached out to put his arm around her waist. Song Jin'an turned her head to look at him and began to gesture.

—I'll go check if Tangtang is awake.

Gu Xijue then released her waist and turned over to continue sleeping.

When he heard the door close, he opened his eyes again, silently staring at the door, a slight smile appearing on his lips, though it vanished in an instant.

At 8:30, the family of three prepared to sit down at the dining table for their meal. They ate in silence, the little one enjoying his food, but the two adults seemed to have something on their minds and couldn't taste it.

Gu Xijue finished eating, put down his chopsticks, glanced at the time, and saw that Wei Zhou was already waiting outside.

"I'm going to work."

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to say these things to Song Jin'an.

Just as he was about to leave with his briefcase, he suddenly turned back to look at Song Jin'an: "Regarding Tangtang's tutor, I will have Wei Zhou deliver the information to you in half a month, and you can choose one."

Gu Xijue will never stop his education. Gu Hetang was born into such a wealthy family, and everything he has gained will be transformed into abilities to give back to the family.

After saying that, he went straight out the door. Five minutes later, Duran appeared at the villa door on time. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked like she had been crying.

Song Jin'an's eyes were indifferent, she didn't say anything, but simply smiled and handed Gu Hetang to her.

On the other side, Gu Xijue, sitting in the car, was listening to Wei Zhou say, "Mr. Gu, Miss Du will be attending the Jiang family's banquet tonight."

Gu Xijue knew that Du Minghua was getting impatient, so he asked again, "Has the Du family's asset appraisal been completed?"

"It's out. The email was sent to your inbox last night. I even called you last night." Wei Zhou wanted to say that you didn't answer, but he didn't say it. After all, what could you possibly forget to answer a phone call so late at night? Adults know what they're talking about.

Gu Xijue logged into his email and viewed the asset report on his tablet. The report contained detailed data provided by a third party, and the data appeared perfect with no issues whatsoever.

This area is worth investing in.

But why did Du Minghua turn his attention to the Jiang family?
In fact, even without the marriage alliance, the cooperation between the two companies would have reached a new level. Why does Du Minghua only want to use the marriage alliance to bind them together?

Either there's a major hidden danger, or they want to consolidate capital under one family's control. After the marriage, they'll naturally become even closer and inseparable.

However, Gu Xijue doesn't want to use marriage as a bargaining chip. He admits that he has complicated feelings for Song Jin'an, but it's not that important to him. So even now, he is still weighing the pros and cons, trying to maximize his benefits.
