I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!
Chapter 58 The Troublesome Little Demon
"Zhuangzhuang, look carefully. You said I'm Aunt Lin?"
"It's you, it's definitely you!"
As he spoke, he turned and tilted his head to look at Gu Jingshen, exclaiming in surprise, "You're Aunt Lin! She's Aunt Lin too..."
Seeing that he called everyone he pointed at "Aunt Lin," Gu Jingshen and Jiang Xuxu exchanged a glance and shook their heads with a sigh.
It turns out this child can't tell people apart at all; it's the two of them who are more like a pair of idiots.
"Time for candy..." The boy skipped away.
Perhaps it was truly an unintentional mistake!
What kind of bad intentions could someone with the mental capacity of a five-year-old possibly have?
Besides, Lin Tingran has already lost her father, so she has no reason to harm her only remaining relative.
"I guess I've been feeling unsettled lately, and everyone seems suspicious to me," Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but laugh at herself.
Gu Jingshen comforted her, "You're right, it's always good to be cautious in everything you do."
The two unconsciously held hands and left the alley.
Now that Aunt Lin's condition has stabilized, Jiang Xuxu will return to Beicheng first.
Even if she loses three days, she still has a lot of work to do.
He wanted to say hello to Lin Tingran before leaving, but it was clear she didn't want to see him; otherwise, she wouldn't have pulled Gu Jingshen aside to talk to him alone.
"Brother Jingshen, remember to call me when you're done with your company business."
Lin Tingran stood beside him, acting coquettishly, but dared not touch his sleeve.
"The aunt woke up and contacted us immediately."
Just then, a message popped up from General Manager Li: [Xuxu, are you done with work? When are you returning to your post?]
Jiang Xuxu immediately typed: 【I'll be back by noon today.】
Gu Jingshen returned from outside and saw her typing with her head down. He casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Xuxu subconsciously felt guilty: "President Li asked me to go back for a meeting."
"Um."
Zhuo Manqing had just finished eating and fallen asleep. The doctor said her condition was basically stable and that they didn't need to worry too much.
In the afternoon, just as Gu Jingshen and Jiang Xuxu returned to Beicheng, Lin Tingran called.
"Brother Jingshen, my mom suddenly suffered a brain hemorrhage... The doctor said she might become a vegetable and never wake up again... I'm so scared all by myself."
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Xuxu wanted to turn back immediately, but Gu Jingshen advised her to calm down.
"Liang Yuangang has just been transferred to the best hospital in Beicheng. If you leave now, I'm afraid Rusheng and the others won't be able to handle it."
"If you're really worried, I'll go and find out what's going on. The Lin family has been kind to me, so I'll go this time."
He makes a good point.
Jiang Xuxu has a meeting later to finish up the work left over from the past few days.
After Gu Jingshen left, Jiang Xuxu went to Lu's Group to discuss cooperation.
She was somewhat distracted throughout the meeting, and it was only after Lu Chen reminded her several times that she regained her focus.
"Xuxu, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest. I'll pack up the documents and send them to you."
To Jiang Xuxu, his gentle and caring words seemed superfluous.
I wonder how Gu Jingshen is doing over there?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuxu patted her absent-minded face, got up and walked towards the tea room.
At a time like this, how could she still be thinking about Gu Jingshen?
Lu Chen appeared quietly behind her. "What's wrong, Xuxu? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu. I'm fine."
Although I was reluctant, I still had to put on a show.
"That's enough for today. You should go back and get some rest."
Jiang Xuxu, absent-minded, took a taxi home after finishing get off work at five o'clock. Seven hours had passed since Gu Jingshen left.
Jiang Xuxu picked up her phone to call him, but then worried that he might not have been able to reach her because he was busy.
Just then, Gu Jingshen called, "Are you asleep? I sent you a message but you didn't reply."
Jiang Xuxu opened WeChat. She had muted it during the meeting and forgot to turn it back on when she got back.
"Sorry, I didn't see it. I just finished my work and was about to rest."
"Okay, then you should go to sleep early. Aunt Lin's situation is stable for now..."
In fact, Gu Jingshen did not leave at all, but sent Qin Feng to find out the situation.
But he still solemnly reported to Jiang Xuxu that he was safe.
"The aftereffects of the car accident have been treated by the best neurosurgeons from abroad..."
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Xuxu's anxiety finally subsided.
"Then, you should get some rest too."
Actually, she wanted to ask one more question: When are you coming back?
She swallowed the words back, though Gu Jingshen was actually waiting for her to ask him the same question.
After a long silence, Jiang Xuxu silently hung up the phone.
I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She didn't know whether she was worried about Zhuo Manqing's condition or missing Gu Jingshen.
I feel uneasy.
Ever since she heard Zhuo Manqing say that Gu Jingshen agreed to marry Lin Tingran, she has been having all sorts of wild thoughts.
If they get married, does that mean this contractual marriage should end?
The more she thought about it, the less she could sleep, and the more confused she became, so she simply got up and "worked overtime."
It was 3 a.m. when she finished processing the messages, and she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
Seeing that all the message notifications on the screen had been processed, Jiang Xuxu finally felt at ease.
That's why they say a model worker is a model worker no matter what position they hold!
She shut down her computer, went out to get a drink of water, and prepared to rest.
Just as I was about to close the bedroom door, I heard an incorrect password notification sound coming from the door.
Jiang Xuxu's alarm bells went off instantly.
Who would come over so late?
I checked the time, and there were no flights from Qingzhou to Beicheng at this time.
Who else could it be but Gu Jingshen?
"Hello, the password is incorrect, please re-enter..."
The person outside is still trying to unlock the door.
She immediately ran into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and held it in her hand for self-defense, her eyes fixed on the turning doorknob as she approached the peephole.
Just as I stood on tiptoe, the door opened from the outside.
Before she could bring down the cleaver she had raised high, her wrist was grabbed tightly.
"Xuxu, it's me."
Jiang Xuxu, who was struggling with her head down, then realized that the person who came was Gu Jingshen. She was so frightened that she burst into tears.
"Why did you suddenly come back in the middle of the night? You scared me to death!"
Gu Jingshen pulled her into his arms, nuzzling his chin affectionately against the top of her head, his voice gentle: "I missed you."
"You can't come back in the middle of the night and scare people. It's one thing to come back, but to enter the wrong password is another. You have no idea how scary that is."
Gu Jingshen smiled indulgently, "I wanted to see you so much that I forgot the password in my haste. I'm sorry."
Jiang Xuxu gently kicked him and stepped back playfully, saying, "Don't you dare do that."
With that, she turned and went back to her bedroom, crawling into bed.
Looking to the side, Gu Jingshen had already loosened his tie and was preparing to take off his coat.
"You...don't sleep in your own room?" she asked, feigning ignorance.
Gu Jingshen grinned mischievously, hanging his coat on the hanger. "You didn't lock the door, doesn't that mean you invited me?"
Jiang Xuxu pulled the blanket up to cover her face. "I just forgot."
The next second, Gu Jingshen pounced on him...
Jiang Xuxu shyly crawled into bed, but Gu Jingshen followed her in.
"Stop fooling around, it's too late."
"No refusal allowed."
During the struggle, Jiang Xuxu's hands were grabbed by Gu Jingshen, pinned to her body, and raised above her head.
An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.
He approached with a tender gaze and a suppressed desire.
Jiang Xuxu quickly got up and gave him a light kiss on the corner of his lips, then lay down and pretended to be asleep.
"You little devil!"
