'I never thought that Gu Ruochu would turn the tables around in just two hours.'
This time, Wang Gang was even more determined to meet Gu Ruochu. When a woman from a small-town married into a wealthy family, people would usually look down on her.
However, the public could not help but look at Gu Ruochu in a different light.
As Gu Ruochu made her way through the corridor, she bumped into Xu Yichen.
"Yichen?"
"Ruochu, I think you should give Huo Nanchen a call." Xu Yichen felt that a call would at least ease the ******* between the couple.
"I don't think so." Gu Ruochu instinctively rejected the idea, but he pressed on. "Ruochu, you're in love with him. Don't deny it. You can't lie to me."
The last sentence touched the deepest part of Gu Ruochu's heart. Her eyes were filled with a sense of helplessness.
When he saw Gu Ruochu's reaction, Xu Yichen was even more determined.
"Since you love him, work hard and fight for your relationship. I'll be here to encourage you." Xu Yichen smiled. "At least if you try, you won't have any regrets, right?"
"..."
Xu Yichen's words echoed in her ears. All of a sudden, Gu Ruochu was in no hurry to see Jin Ye. Instead, she thought about it and decided to give Huo Nanchen a call.
A few seconds later, Huo Nanchen picked up the call. His voice was slightly hoarse. "Ruochu?"
He seemed to be surprised that she would call him on her own accord.
After all, she wanted a divorce. He was very angry. She had said that she did not love him.
"Where are you?" Gu Ruochu decided to use a lame excuse and ask him out for dinner.
"I'm..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a female voice interrupted him. "Nanchen, are you still working overtime? I brought your favorite winter melon rib soup..."
Gu Ruochu knew that the voice belonged to An Duo as soon as she heard it.
She was in Huo Nanchen's office!
This realization was a huge blow to her. Her heart ached when she thought of An Duo's charming and beautiful appearance.
Perhaps she had pushed Huo Nanchen into the arms of another woman after their argument.
Gu Ruochu held her breath when she heard this woman's voice. She was afraid that Huo Nanchen would suspect that she was emotional. "I'm fine. I'm just calling to see what you're up to. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll hang up now."
Gu Ruochu tried her best to remain calm.
However, after she hung up the phone, an overwhelming discomfort surged into her heart. That girl was pretty and cute. It appeared that Huo Nanchen liked her a lot.
An Duo was not as boring and rigid as she was.
Her head felt like it was about to explode. Gu Ruochu could only ask her assistant to apologize to Wang Gang and Jin Ye. She wanted to take a good rest.
After he had seen Gu Ruochu's courage at the press conference, Wang Gang was very easy to convince. He said that he understood and scheduled the meeting at another time.
Gu Ruochu was a mess. She only came out of her office after she had regained control of her emotions.
However, when she saw the person standing at the reception, she paused for a moment and inexplicably stopped in her tracks. Huo Nanchen's gaze never left her. His black eyes were as shiny as the stars.
"Why are you here?"
"To see my angry wife."
"Wife." Gu Ruochu smiled involuntarily when she heard this word. It evoked a thousand complicated feelings.
"How could you tell that I'm angry?" Huo Nanchen had not missed the fact that she had tried to hide her feelings. Every time she was in a bad mood, she would hide her emotions out of habit.
"You didn't even call me, and you haven't spoken to me for the past few days. You even said that you were giving me the cold shoulder."
