After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

"it is good."

Yu Lili said, "Brother Lu, I believe you. Just wait, it will be ten minutes at most."

After saying that, Yu Lili hung up the phone, presumably to go find someone.

Lu Chen put down his phone. To be honest, he didn't know what Yu Lili's background was, but considering that she could be Su Xinyu's neighbor, she must be someone important.

Sigh, whatever, I can only trust Yu Lili now.

"Finished searching?"

Seeing him put down his phone, Chen Yu asked with amusement.

"Ah."

Lu Chen nodded: "They said to wait, at most ten minutes."

"Heh..." Chen Yu said dismissively, "What a waste of time. I'll wait for you for ten minutes and see who you can find then."

Five minutes later.

Chen Yu's phone suddenly rang, and she glanced at Lu Chen in surprise.

Then I glanced at my phone again; it was an unfamiliar number.

Puzzled, Chen Yu answered the phone: "Hello? This is Chen Yu, who is this?"

"Uh! Sister Yu... it's you? Uh! That's not what I meant..."

"Uh, right... Lu Chen is with me, huh? Letting him go... that's not really right, is it? My brother-in-law..."

"Yes! Understood! I'll release them right away!"

Upon answering the phone, Chen Yu put on a show for Lu Chen, going from shock and disbelief to standing at attention.

Lu Chen was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder, was Yu Lili also backed by such powerful figures?

Chen Yu put down her phone, her face already dark with anger, completely devoid of her previous high spirits.

She walked over, unlocked Lu Chen's handcuffs, and then pointed outside.

"You go."

These three short words contain extremely complex emotions.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Inspector Chen, shall I be going now?"

Chen Yu took a deep breath, her breasts undulating slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "I didn't expect that little girl Yu Lili would also be won over by you? What makes you think you can? Just because you're handsome?"

Whoops!

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed and immediately replied jokingly, "Inspector Chen, are you praising me? I'd really be rude to accept such a compliment..."

Chapter 31 Picking Up My Wife

"hehe."

Seeing his expression, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Don't be so smug. If you fall into my hands later, you'll be crying."

Helpless, Lu Chen reiterated, "Officer Chen, my relationship with Su Xinyu was entirely consensual and a matter of free choice. Why are you interfering?"

He didn't want to go around in circles about this matter, but from the beginning until now, Chen Yu has been holding a grudge and looks at him with such a smug expression that she wants to beat him up.

"Where is the freedom?" Chen Yu retorted. "You, a married man, are having an affair with a nineteen-year-old girl? Is this what you call free love?"

talking.

Chen Yu's tone rose several decibels: "Let me tell you, if Xin Yu hadn't repeatedly said it was voluntary and if she hadn't seemed to be in a normal mental state, you'd be in a detention cell right now!"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Inspector Chen, you've investigated my background, so don't you know anything about my marriage?"

Lu Chen really didn't want to talk about a marriage of convenience that was essentially a contractual one where both parties were exploiting each other.

Besides, when he went to the CEO's office at Xinglan, he saw a female subordinate who was disheveled as soon as he entered.

This matter alone left Lu Chen with a bellyful of questions, which he was about to ask Gu Nanyin!

So what if he plays around with a 19-year-old girl? It's not like he's breaking any laws, is it?

Chen Yu sneered and replied, "Stop changing the subject and leave now. Don't take up public resources."

She didn't want to say anything more to Lu Chen. She could only talk to Sister Yu properly after get off work and then figure out a way to deal with the kid. Otherwise, she really couldn't swallow this anger!

Lu Chen got up and walked out of the detention room, his gaze meeting Chen Yu's eyes, which were filled with suppressed anger.

"Inspector Chen, I think it's better if we don't see each other again."

"Humph!"

Chen Yu's lips twitched, his complex emotions evident.

Not long after Lu Chen came out of the orange, he received messages from Su Xinyu and Yu Lili.

After replying to everyone, he returned home.

But before I could even settle into the sofa, my phone rang again.

"Day after day."

Lu Chen muttered a complaint and picked up his phone. He remembered that he didn't receive this many calls before.

After recognizing that the caller was Gu Nanyin, Lu Chen answered the call.

Soon, Gu Nanyin's unique, cool voice came from the other side.

"Hello? Pick me up and take me home."

These five short words carried an unquestionable tone of command.

Lu Chen was already annoyed, but he still patiently replied, "Come back yourself, we have a car, don't we?"

What are you doing?

Do I have to answer it myself?

Gu Nanyin was silent on the phone for a while, about five or six seconds, before she spoke again: "You have to come pick me up, and you have to let the employees see it, so that it can show that I am married."

"It's this same old formalism again..." Lu Chen muttered to himself, then asked, "What if I don't go?"

Gu Nanyin replied, "Outsiders will question my identity and character; investors and business partners will use this as a standard to observe me..."

"Hey! Stop reading...wait, I'm coming to pick you up."

Lu Chen quickly stopped him, hung up the phone, got up, grabbed his coat and car keys, and went out again.

Downstairs at Xinglan Group.

Lu Chen leaned against the car door and waited quietly.

A short while later... the company's automatic doors opened, and Gu Nanyin, dressed in a white suit, walked out, followed by a number of people.

Gu Nanyin glanced at Lu Chen, but kept giving instructions on her work.

With each sentence she spoke, one or more people behind her bowed and left.

When they reached Lu Chen's side, only the female assistant remained.

"Make arrangements for the marketing and R&D departments tomorrow morning. I need to have a meeting and tell them to prepare early."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

The female assistant nodded slightly, keeping the matter in mind.

"Oh, right."

Gu Nanyin remembered something and continued, "Have them take the financial statements back and redo them. I only have four requirements: efficiency and conciseness."

The female assistant nodded again: "Understood, Mr. Gu. I will inform the finance manager in a moment."

Gu Nanyin thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she told her, "It's alright, you can go back now."

"Yes!"

The female assistant bowed slightly and left.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Nanyin had time to talk to Lu Chen.

"You're here, let's go..."

It maintains the same simple style...

Lu Chen opened the passenger door for her, using his arm to block the edge of the car until Gu Nanyin got in before he returned to the driver's seat.

The car started and moved forward smoothly...

Lu Chen secretly glanced at Gu Nanyin out of the corner of his eye. She took off her coat and threw it onto the back seat.

A high-quality white silk shirt accentuates her undulating curves…

A delicate fragrance wafts gently, tantalizing the senses.

Gu Nanyin reached up and tucked her long hair behind her ear, opened her laptop, and started working again.

"Snapped!"

Lu Chen reached out and closed the laptop lid.

Gu Nanyin was slightly taken aback, then looked up at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

As Lu Chen drove, he replied, "Since you're going home, get some rest and don't work anymore."

Gu Nanyin's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lu Chen with great seriousness.

"Row."

Gu Nanyin answered with a single word and placed the notebook on the back seat.

The car continued moving forward, and the two remained silent.

Lu Chen was eavesdropping on her thoughts…

Is he concerned about me? Or what? Or... is he annoyed that I'm ignoring him and acting like I don't care about him?

Sigh! I didn't want it to be like this either, but the Gu family business can't collapse, I have to take it on.

I'm so tired... I wish there was someone who could share the burden with me...

Ok?

In this heartfelt conversation, Lu Chen heard something different.

After several encounters, he always thought Gu Nanyin was an iron woman and a workaholic.

Now it seems that she has a responsibility she cannot avoid.

Since that's the case...

"Ahem... Well..." Lu Chen said, "Don't overthink it. I just felt bad seeing you so tired."

Gu Nanyin's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded in reply, "You're used to it, aren't you..."

"So," Lu Chen paused for a moment, "how can I help you?"

After saying that,

Lu Chen clearly saw that Gu Nanyin's body stiffened for a moment.

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Nanyin turned her head to look out the car window at the receding traffic and the cityscape at night.

Lu Chen guessed that this woman might be secretly crying.

There are several documents.

Gu Nanyin turned her head and said as if nothing had happened, "I need your help to handle this. I do have a high opinion of your abilities."

really…

This woman is starting to feel the strain.

Lu Chen joked, "So am I better than your company's full-time employees? Aren't I amazing?"

Gu Nanyin nodded: "That's pretty impressive, otherwise I wouldn't only have one assistant."
