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

Chapter 64 She'll go with you
The woman blushed and squeezed herself into Duan Nanhe's arms, while Gu Xijue watched coldly from the side.

"Okay, I caught some fish. I'll grill some for you in a bit."

Then he glanced at Gu Xijue and asked, "Are you planning to grill fish with us, or go back?"

Only then did the woman in his arms turn her gaze to Gu Xijue, whose face was stiff. Looking at his rigid expression, she asked, "Are you President Gu of the Gu Group?"

"What's wrong?" Duan Nanhe looked at her again.

The woman smiled, then quickly looked away, saying with a smile, "I've only heard a little about it."

She had heard quite a few stories about this CEO Gu and his mute wife, and thinking about it, she actually admired Mrs. Gu a little, as she was still holding on to her position as Mrs. Gu.

Gu Xijue's expression was not good. Judging from the bucket of water he was carrying, he was in a particularly bad mood: "Put the biggest one in my bucket. I'm taking it with me."

Duan Nan was taken aback, not expecting that he would have the nerve to ask him for such a big fish. He glared at him and said, "You certainly know how to pick one!"

"It's not that I'm stingy and won't give it to you, but when it comes to making soup, small fish is the most fragrant."

Gu Xijue glanced at him: "I'm taking it back and grilling it."

Duan Nanhe: "..."

Is this guy crazy today? Why is he talking so sarcastically and with such a sarcastic tone? Could it be that he's really driven mad by his mute wife at home?
……

Gu Xijue took the largest fish, along with several smaller fish, back with him.

Inside the villa, Lin's mother was preparing breakfast. As she wiped her hands, preparing to go upstairs to wake her wife for breakfast, she turned around and saw her husband, dressed in heavy dew, carrying a large fish and three or four smaller ones. Moreover, his head was wrapped in gauze...

Lin's mother was startled, but quickly regained her composure: "Sir, you're back."

Lin's mother knew that her husband had stormed out and driven away last night, and she originally thought he wouldn't be home for ten days or half a month. Unexpectedly, he came back early the next morning with so many seafood.

Gu Xijue didn't even lift his eyelids: "Use the small ones for soup, and the big ones for grilled fish."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin's mother again: "She's still not up?"

He returned at nine o'clock. Logically, Song Jin'an should have already gotten up with the child by then, but he didn't see her in the living room today.

Lin Ma said, "Madam should not be up yet."

"Hmm." Gu Xijue hummed in response, turned around and left the kitchen. Lin Ma looked at the fish of various sizes in the sink, frowning. She didn't know how to prepare the sea fish so that it wouldn't taste fishy, ​​so she simply went online to check. She decided to have these fish for lunch today.

However, as soon as he entered the living room, he noticed a bright red-orange object on the coffee table. He walked over and took a closer look; it was an invitation.

The scene of him seeing the message box last night flashed through his mind. He picked it up and glanced at it, and without even opening it, he already knew who had sent it.

Lin Ma came out again and, seeing Gu Xijue looking at it, quickly said, "Sir, this is an invitation from the Jiang family."

"It was delivered by the Jiang family's butler, who said it was an invitation for the gentleman and his wife to attend a banquet."

Gu Xijue frowned, his dark pupils flashing with displeasure.

Lin Ma then realized that she had misread the words. The wife was mute. In the years since she married her husband, he had always had a relatively fixed female companion when attending banquets. Especially after that Miss Su returned, whenever her husband attended a banquet, she was always by his side. There was no place for the wife to stand.

Gu Xijue's mind flashed with Song Jin'an's face. Without saying anything more to Lin Ma, he went straight upstairs.

Lin's mother's heart skipped a beat. Looking at his back, she thought to herself, "Are these two going to tear the house down again?" She was truly terrified. In the years she had worked as a nanny in the villa, she had hardly had a peaceful day.

If it weren't for his wife being such a kind person, she would have resigned long ago.

She muttered to herself, "I wonder what the master is thinking. His wife is such a good person, yet she can't warm his heart."

There was no argument as expected until the couple took their child downstairs for dinner. They just ignored each other, as if the other was invisible.

After finishing breakfast, Gu Xijue didn't go to the company; instead, he went straight to his study.

When it was lunchtime, the two of them reappeared like NPCs, sitting in their usual spots to eat. Lin's mother first brought the grilled fish platter to the table, and then brought out the grilled fish.

"These are the fish that the gentleman brought back." After saying that, Lin Ma went to bring out the fish soup she had been making and placed it on the table.

Gu Xijue didn't say anything, while Song Jin'an stared at the very large fish on the table. It was a fish that the two of them couldn't possibly finish.

The man ladled out a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Gu Hetang. His eyes showed the loving gaze of a father, and he reached out to rub the little boy's head: "Daddy specially went out to sea to fish for this. Try it and see if you like it."

At this moment, Song Jin'an came to his senses. Had he gone out to sea last night?
He didn't buy these fish; he caught them himself.

Because of Gu Xijue's verbal abuse last night, Gu Hetang was afraid of and ostracized him. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she would burst into tears if Gu Xijue said another word.

Gu Xi paused, then pulled his hand away from her head, realizing that he had frightened his daughter.

Song Jin'an didn't even look up. She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. It tasted alright, but she only ate one bite and then stopped. Instead, she used a small spoon to feed Gu Hetang fish soup spoonful by spoonful.

They finished their drink quickly, and Gu Hetang pointed forward again with his little finger, indicating that he wanted more.

Gu Xijue looked at his daughter, his voice softening, "Tangtang, would you like to drink it yourself?"

"Mom needs to eat too."

His tone was so gentle, it was as if he really cared about his wife.

Song Jin'an, however, felt no unease. The man in front of her loved to slap her and then offer her a sweet treat; he was quick to turn on her and ruthless.

Gu Hetang didn't know if it was because of fear or something else, but she held the small bowl with her little hands and drank it. After finishing, she giggled and wanted a third bowl.

……

That evening, after Song Jin'an had coaxed Gu Hetang to sleep, she stepped out of the children's room and saw the man leaning against the door, waiting for her.

Suddenly, Gu Xijue spoke up: "You'll come with me to the Jiang family's banquet."

Song Jin'an was stunned for a moment. Had she misheard?
Gu Xijue looked at her dazed expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you overjoyed?"

Song Jin'an subconsciously felt that there was a trap involved. How could there be? She gestured with her hands.

—Together with you?
The man frowned, his voice tinged with displeasure: "If you don't follow me, who else do you want to follow? Jiang Ciyu?"

When the name was mentioned again, his expression became even more impatient.

—I have already declined his invitation. Let Miss Su accompany you.
