After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 111 A Cold Sneer

She had always only thought of herself and never thought of him!

Gu Xijue was really angry, and what made him even angrier was that she actually wanted to participate in this charity project, showing absolutely no consideration for the bigger picture!

Thinking of this, he inwardly despised Jiang Ciyu and sneered, "Since you won't let me have an easy time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

……

That night, Song Jin'an coaxed Gu Hetang to sleep, but the little guy didn't want to sleep alone tonight.

Song Jin'an tried to coax her to sleep for a long time, but to no avail. Her big, round eyes stared at the ceiling, and her little mouth pouted, "Daddy, Mommy, sleep."

At first, Song Jin'an didn't understand what Gu Hetang meant, so she ignored her. But after a few minutes, she lifted the blanket, arched her back, and tried to slide off the crib, but Song Jin'an pulled her back onto the bed.

Its eyes seem to say, "Go to sleep obediently."

But Gu Hetang just wouldn't cooperate, and got up and started jumping around playing, making a lot of noise. Just as she was about to slip off the bed again, she was suddenly picked up by a pair of big hands like a chick.

Song Jin'an was sweating profusely. She thought it was Lin's mother, but when she turned around, it turned out to be the man she had argued with that morning.

Gu Xijue had a stern look in his eyes, and when he disciplined the children, they were naturally afraid.

He spoke in a serious tone: "Gu Hetang, why aren't you sleeping at night? Do you want to get beaten up?"

When Gu Hetang saw his father arrive, he quickly clutched the blanket tighter, covering himself completely.

Why are you being so harsh with your child?
Song Jin'an couldn't stand the sight of him anymore.

"If you want to be a loving mother in front of her, then I can only be a strict father." Gu Xijue didn't even lift his eyelids, pulled the naughty little guy out of the quilt, and hugged him.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

The man who said he would be a strict father suddenly couldn't say such harsh words when facing his daughter's face, and his voice became much softer.

Gu Hetang's eyes darted from Gu Xijue's face to Song Jin'an's, before finally reaching out and beckoning to Song Jin'an, who was standing to the side.

"Daddy, Mommy, Tangtang, go to sleep."

Only then did Song Jin'an understand what she had just said.

"Does Tangtang want to sleep with her parents?" Gu Xijue asked.

Gu Hetang nodded: "Yes."

"Then let's sleep together." After saying that, Gu Xijue carried Gu Hetang and walked ahead. After a few steps, he stopped and looked at the woman behind him who had not yet made a move.

"Didn't you hear your daughter say that she wants to sleep with her dad and mom?"

"Sleep in the master bedroom tonight; your bed is too small."

Song Jin'an watched Gu Xijue's retreating figure, her face expressionless. She pursed her lips and finally followed him.

Gu Hetang got his wish and slept in the middle. He rolled around for a while before falling asleep. Children sleep very well, leaving only the two adults staring at each other.

There never seemed to be any harmony between them; they were almost always at odds, or Song Jin'an would restrain himself and avoid direct confrontation.

Song Jin'an turned her body to the other side, her back to the man.

Gu Xijue watched her retreating figure, his eyes narrowed as he silently observed her. He felt a profound emptiness within him, a feeling he hadn't experienced in years...

For some reason, he panicked, as if he was about to lose his grip, and the sand he held in his palm was slowly about to slip away completely.

There was no communication; they were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

The next day, in the president's office of the Gu Group, Gu Xijue sat on the sofa, his mood complicated, the pen in his hand twirling in and out of his mind. He was restless, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't even hear the knocks on the door four or five times.

The last time, all that could be heard was Duan Nanhe shouting outside, "I'll just go in, he's deaf."

Then the office door opened, and a grinning face that clearly meant trouble appeared before Gu Xijue.

"What are you here for?"

The man said coldly.

Duan Nanhe shrugged and said with a smile, "I've come to take your life."

"what happened?"

"Young Master Gu, you've made a mess of things, and now I have to clean it up." Duan Nanhe rolled his eyes at him, found a chair, sat down, and slid down in front of him.

"You don't know, do you? Jiang Ciyu rejected the olive branch extended by the Du family, which infuriated Du Minghua. I heard that he left on the spot with Du Lan, whose eyes were slightly red."

Duan Nanhe doesn't like doing serious work, but he absolutely loves listening to gossip and enjoys eating sunflower seeds while listening to others talk about it.

Gu Xijue really didn't know about this, and raised an eyebrow at him: "What does that have to do with me?"

"Isn't this any of your business?" Duan Nanhe looked at him and clicked his tongue a few times. "If you hadn't refused to divorce the little mute girl, how could Du Lan have been returned by you and then by the Jiang family? That's why she came to me."

"My dad called early this morning and told me to come home for dinner tonight and have some time with the Du family!"

Because of this, his girlfriend, who was lying in his arms that morning, pinched him several times.

The Du family has now set its sights on the Duan family.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, he's so keen on promoting his daughter, could it be that she really can't get married?"

Duan Nanhe really felt quite uncomfortable. After all, he had always been a liberal. He was worried that if he went back this time, he might fall into the lion's den. Would his father just finalize the marriage with the Du family right away?
Gu Xijue seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled knowingly: "Uncle Duan won't give in easily."

"The marriage alliance that both the Gu family and the Jiang family have given up cannot be that simple."

His casual remark made Duan Nanhe raise an eyebrow and look at the man in front of him.

The next sentence was tantamount to pulling the tiger's hair out: "It wasn't Gu Jia who gave up, it was you who gave up."

Gu Xijue's attitude towards Song Jin'an was already out in the open: he was unwilling to divorce her, and since he didn't say anything or respond, Duan Nanhe took it as his tacit agreement.

"Seriously, bro, I just want to ask you one question."

"What?" Gu Xijue frowned.

"Have you fallen for the little mute girl?" Duan Nanhe's intuition was always sharp. Thinking about Gu Xijue's attitude towards Song Jin'an this year, it seemed to have changed very quickly, especially after learning that Su Ruoya was a scheming, manipulative woman...

Gu Xijue scoffed coldly, his expression turning serious: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Duan Nanhe looked incredulous and teased with a smile, "Aren't you afraid to admit it?"

In his eyes, Song Jin'an was not an illiterate and mute person. On the contrary, he felt that this woman had an infinite power that could burst forth, which was very attractive.

Gu Xijue glanced at him but didn't say anything; however, the expression on his face was not pleasant.

"You really don't intend to spend your whole life in a love-hate relationship with her, do you?"

In this relationship, Gu Xijue, as the one in a superior position, has always looked down on Song Jin'an.

Duan Nanhe seemed to understand his attitude, smiled and said...
