Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 41: Astonishingly Heavenly Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Upon opening her eyes, Xia Yangyang saw an extraordinarily handsome face. Her father’s Starlight Entertainment had a leading star named Chen Yu. In the words of his fans, Chen Yu was a man crafted to ruin women. Xia Yangyang had seen him once at last year’s annual meeting and was amazed by his dazzling looks. He was as stunning as jade and unrivalled in the world, leaving Xia Yangyang convinced that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. But at this moment, Xia Yangyang was looking at Gu Qichen’s face and felt it was no less spectacular than Chen Yu’s. Even the curve of his jawline was flawless. Xia Yangyang found her heart pounding wildly. At this time, Gu Qichen had already opened his eyes. Their eyes met, and Xia Yangyang felt a sense of panic inexplicably. But still, she put on a smile to mask her feelings, “Uh, good morning.” Gu Qichen slightly furrowed his brows, “I’m not called ‘uh’.” Xia Yangyang said, “Mr. Gu, good morning.” “Yangyang, do we really need to be this formal with each other?” Calling her Yangyang seemed particularly natural to him. This wasn’t the first time they had discussed this issue. But Xia Yangyang just couldn’t force herself to call him ‘husband’. Moreover, Gu Qichen was much older than her; it didn’t seem right to call him by his given name directly. An idea suddenly came to Xia Yangyang, “Then I’ll call you Uncle Gu.” Xia Yangyang thought this address was wonderful. Perhaps influenced by the Korean Wave, she noticed in Korean dramas the female protagonists would affectionately refer to their male partners as ‘uncle’. Xia Yangyang got up from bed, “Uncle Gu, I’m getting up. I have classes this morning.” Xia Yangyang was already running late, and naturally, she didn’t have time for breakfast. Just as she was about to leave, Gu Qichen suddenly handed her a bank card. Xia Yangyang was puzzled, “What are you doing?” Gu Qichen said, “It’s for your living expenses. I’ll transfer money to it every month. I’m busy usually, so you can use this to buy things you like.” Even though Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen had already gotten their marriage certificate, No money matters had been involved between them so far. Other than living in Gu Qichen’s house now. Xia Yangyang didn’t feeling, “I don’t lack money. Besides, there are rumours at school that you’re keeping me. If I take this, won’t it mean that the rumours are true?” Gu Qichen furrowed his brows, “People at your school are saying I’m keeping you?” This was something Xia Yangyang had no intention of telling Gu Qichen. It was a slip of the tongue. Gu Qichen asked, “Do you want me to handle it?” Xia Yangyang quickly said, “No, it’s just some silly campus post. It will fade out in a couple of days.” If Gu Qichen personally intervened, it would only complicate matters further. Xia Yangyang looked at the card and said, “I really don’t need money. I won’t take this card. I’m off to school.” Having said that, Xia Yangyang went out of the door. Not long after Xia Yangyang left, Gu Qichen made a phone call, “Be in my office at nine.” Xia Yangyang didn’t sleep well the night before and was feeling sleepy all morning. After finally enduring until the end of classes, she went with Wen Xiaochu to the canteen for lunch. After studying Xia Yangyang closely, Wen Xiaochu said, “You look listless, with obvious dark circles. Yangyang, you really look like you’ve been overindulging your desires.” Xia Yangyang, who had been drowsy all morning, instantly woke up, almost blurting out: How do you know? But before she could speak, Wen Xiaochu seemed to remember something, “Sorry, Yangyang. I forgot you broke up with Young Master Lu.” Before, whenever Lu Haotian was mentioned, Xia Yangyang would feel a sharp pain in her heart. But inexplicably, Xia Yangyang suddenly found herself feeling calm. Xia Yangyang smiled, “It’s fine. It’s all in the past..”
