    CEO's Sweet Love For Cold Substitute Wife - Zhi JianQingNing

    MEETING

    CHAPTER 201 - ASSISTANCE AND COOPERATION

    There was a moment of silence in the office, as if the whole world had fallen into silence.

    Gu Zichen looked calm. He had been waiting for someone to come.

    Finally, the office door made a few crisp sounds, breaking the silence in an instant.

    The assistant respectfully stood in front of the door and softly narrated: CEO, the chairman and wife of Xia's Group have arrived. They are currently waiting for you in the conference room.

    Gu Zichen nodded and smiled. Send some coffee to them first. Tell them to stay awake and not to fall asleep. Tell them I'm busy and will be there soon.

    The assistant nodded. I understand, CEO.

    With that, he respectfully left the office.

    Gu Zichen smiled and then walked out of the office to Xia Anran's side.

    Your aunt and uncle are in the company. Do you intend to meet them?

    Xia Anran could not help but raise her head and look at him in surprise. What are they doing here? she asked curiously. Did you ask them to come? "

    Why would I ask them to come here? Of course, they came here by themselves. I heard that during this period of time, their company has encountered an unprecedented crisis. They must have come here to find me for help.

    Gu Zichen said as if he was full of speculation.

    Xia Anran was still puzzled.

    Since they were here to see Zichen, why did he have to tell her about it? He always felt that this matter wasn't that simple.

    Suddenly, she thought of another matter and asked, During the engagement ceremony, did you call your aunt and uncle over?

    Gu Zichen didn't hesitate and nodded. He said with a smile, I called them over. After all, they are your relatives. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been able to get such a great wife.

    His face couldn't help but reveal a little proud and adorable expression as he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

    However, Xia Anran showed an unhappy expression and said indifferently, Since you didn't ask for my opinion on that matter, then why are you telling me about it? After all, they have come to find you, not me. Thus, there is no meaning in what I say, right?

    She turned around and continued to look at the documents on the table.

    Gu Zichen smiled and didn't say anything.

    This silly wife, he is helping you, don't tell me you didn't see it at all?

    He gently caressed her head, then turned around and walked towards the meeting room.

    At the same time, Xia Guoqing and Lee Xiulan sat in the meeting room, bored out of their minds.

    Xia Guoqing frowned and complained, I think this Gu Zichen is doing it on purpose! What is so important that you are making fun of us? Even we can stay here to dry!

    Lee Xiulan smiled as she stroked his back and comforted him, I had thought that such a thing would happen. Gu Zichen will definitely keep us dry for a while. After all, we are here to beg someone. Let's wait a little longer.

    After saying that, she looked out of the window and grumbled inwardly.

    After a while, Gu Zichen gently pushed the door open and walked in. He said with a smile: Sorry, I was in a hurry just now, so I came a bit late. I hope you don't mind.

    With that, he sat down and crossed his legs without any hesitation, showing a haughty attitude.

    Lee Xiulan noticed the details, but didn't say anything. She just smiled awkwardly and said, How could we dare to blame him? I already knew that Chairman Gu was busy, it was our mistake to suddenly visit without any prior pleasure.

    Gu Zichen nodded with a smile and said softly, There's no need to say that anymore. After all, we are one family. Why don't we go straight to the point? What business do you have with me?

    Xia Guoqing couldn't help gritting his teeth.

    This brat was too rude. After all, they were elders! Could this be the attitude of him speaking to his elders?

    He said pitifully: I believe you are well aware of our motive for coming here. Since our Xia's Group has encountered a major crisis during this period of time, we hope that you can help us out on Xia Anran's account, but don't worry, we will not have to take your help for free. In terms of profits, we will naturally give our all to you as well.

    Gu Zichen pretended to be enlightened and said, So that's what you mean, auntie. So you guys came here to ask for my help? To put it nicely, you guys are seeking my cooperation, right?

    His words were full of sarcasm, not leaving the other two any face at all.

    After a pause, he continued, But I can't decide this on my own. I need to ask for Xia Anran's opinion first. Otherwise, you can just go to her and say that I will send you money immediately if she agrees.

    Lee Xiulan smiled awkwardly. We're here to ask for your help. You're the president of this story group, do you really have to listen to your wife's advice?

    Gu Zichen also heard the irony in her words, so he smiled and said: Auntie, do you mean that I'm a man, and I have to listen to a woman for such a small thing? Since you said that, then there's no need for me to not say what I'm thinking. Uncle Xia must be the man who's afraid of his wife, right? Otherwise, why didn't he say anything from the moment I entered this room? Right now, I still want to ask, is Xia's Group surnamed Xia, or is it someone surnamed Li?

    When Xia Guoqing heard this, he immediately became furious. He stood up angrily and scolded, "Gu Zichen, aren't you a bit too excessive? After all, we are elders. Is this how you talk to your elders? The reason why we came here to talk about cooperation with you is because we value you. Please do not put yourself in a very high position.

    With that, he turned around to look at Lee Xiulan and shouted even louder, Let's go!

    After that, he quickly left the meeting room.

    Lee Xiulan slowly stood up …

    At this time, Gu Zichen opened his mouth and said, Aunt, I still have to remind you that if you really regard yourselves as seniors, then naturally you wouldn't do such a thing today.

    CHAPTER 202 - EAT

    After leaving the office, Lee Xiulan quickly caught up to Xia Guoqing.

    She grumbled, Why can't you hold back such a small matter? If you do not have the help of Gu's, then Xia's will truly collapse.

    Xia Guoqing was even more furious as he said, I never wanted to take the Xia's for myself in the first place! But you, woman, have to do all those wicked things! Wasn't it great to live like that? But now, it had attracted so much attention! In short, I will no longer lower myself to beg Gu Zichen. Even if my Xia's has failed, I will not care!

    After saying that, he quickly got into the car and ordered the driver, Drive!

    The driver hesitated and looked at Lee Xiulan who hadn't gotten on the car. He said, But the lady hasn't gotten on the car yet.

    I told you to drive! Don't worry about her!" Xia Guoqing scolded him.

    The driver had no choice but to secretly shake his head and quickly drove away!

    Lee Xiulan stood on the spot furiously, looking at the car as it drove away.

    If it wasn't for what she did in the past, Xia Guoqing would still be under someone else's protection! How could he have the position of chairman that was so popular today! This person did not know what was good for him. No matter what, the Xia's Group was something she had struggled for many years to obtain, so she definitely could not let it be destroyed like this!

    Then she looked up at the Gu's Group building.

    It seemed that she was the only one who begged Xia Anran. However, begging her seemed to be more difficult than begging Gu Zichen.

    At this time, Gu Zichen returned to Xia Anran's side, gently patted her shoulder and whispered, You've worked hard all morning, aren't you tired? Let's go out and have a good lunch. This cooperation is almost complete, you can give it to your subordinates now.

    Xia Anran raised her head coldly and asked softly, What's wrong? Have they left? What did they come to you for? "

    But, I didn't agree. I've already pushed everything onto you, so I believe that they will come for your help soon. At that time, it will all be up to you whether you agree or not.

    Xia Anran couldn't help but be surprised.

    What? Push everything on her? What was Gu Zichen thinking in his head?

    Then, she deliberately coughed a few times, straightening her chest and saying, Since you always play first and play second, I also did a first and last thing. I started working with the next company without your permission, and I'm busy with these things right now, so I don't have time to eat lunch with you, you should settle it yourself.

    Gu Zichen couldn't help but be surprised and asked curiously, How is that possible? I have to sign every contract. How did you do it? "

    Xia Anran smiled proudly, I'm your wife now, and there's no one who wouldn't believe that I've already told you about it. Therefore, it's a piece of cake for me to talk about a collaboration. You wouldn't want to blame me, right?

    Gu Zichen shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything.

    He had expected this day to come, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

    Then, he silently turned around and returned to his office.

    Forget it, let her have a good time. I believe she won't be so blind as to compensate the company with money.

    Sitting at the desk, he opened the drawer and took out the videotape.

    It's been so long, but I haven't had the courage to look at it. I wish nothing unusual had happened.

    Then he played the video on the computer.

    He took a closer look at the video, but he couldn't find any trace of Xia Anran.

    Was Lee Bo really mistaken? This video did not show Xia Anran at all.

    He couldn't help but furrow his brows in suspicion, then instantly returned to his usual calm expression.

    Perhaps he had overthought things. All of this simply did not exist.

    He quickly turned off the video and his stomach growled. He then looked outside and saw the serious expression on Xia Anran's face. He couldn't help but sigh.

    Wasn't she hungry at all? He actually forgot to eat and sleep for the sake of his work?

    Then he called for a takeout and waited until it was delivered to his office.

    He pushed open the office door, loudly shouting in front of all the employees, Xia Anran, come to my office!

    Xia Anran couldn't help but be surprised for a moment. Then, she raised her head to look at him and walked into his office with a bit of grievance.

    When all the employees heard his voice, they could not help but whisper to each other.

    Do you think the CEO is angry about the fact that his wife is working with someone else?

    The CEO is acting for us to see. Once we enter the office, the two of them might not be able to do anything. Let's just work properly.

    In the office, Xia Anran sat opposite Gu Zichen and said coldly, Why did you call me in? Don't you know I'm busy? Also, don't always make it sound like I did something wrong, okay? Can't you more or less give me some face in front of the employees?

    However, Gu Zichen didn't have the slightest expression on his face. He shouted coldly, Eat!

    As he said that, he opened the boxes of food in front of him and placed them one by one in front of Xia Anran. At the same time, he warned her, For your three meals from today, you have to be on time! He had to eat even if he had to! Your body is the most important thing, do you understand?

    Xia Anran just stared blankly at him for a long time without uttering a word. Then, she gently nodded her head and leaned her chair against the table. She then quietly ate her meal one bite at a time.

    Suddenly, she raised her head and asked in a small voice, You don't eat it?

    Seeing that Gu Zichen didn't react at all, she picked up a mouthful of food and passed it to him casually. She secretly smiled and immediately scolded: Open your mouth! Now I warn you too! From now on, you have to eat three meals a day. Even if there is something big, you have to eat it. My happiness will come eventually. You have to eat it before I can be happy, understand?

    CHAPTER 203 - CONDITION

    The beautiful noon sunshine warmed the entire office.

    Xia Anran rubbed her belly tiredly and let out a long breath. She then yawned and muttered, I really want to lie down and have a good night's sleep. I don't care about anything now.

    Gu Zichen smiled slightly: If you're tired, then go take a rest. There's no need to rush to work together.

    Xia Anran shook her head helplessly and said firmly, No, this is the path I have chosen. No matter how tired I am, I will finish it. I won't waste my time with you. I will go out first.

    With that, she left the office and returned to her seat.

    Gu Zichen looked at her and smiled. Then he leaned his head back and fell asleep.

    When he woke up again, there was no one in the company. There were only a few employees working overtime.

    He could not help but frown as he looked at the surrounding scene.

    Why did he sleep for so long? It was already time to get off work.

    He walked out of the office slowly, looked at Xia Anran and asked doubtfully, Where did she go?

    Hearing the voice, the staff turned their heads to look and replied with a smile, Oh, Madam left early, we don't know where she went.

    Gu Zichen nodded and left the company quickly without saying anything.

    He called Xia Anran, but she didn't answer.

    She was sitting in a café, across from her aunt, Lee Xiulan.

    After sitting up, she revealed an official smile and softly said, Auntie, is there something that you've come to find me for?

    Lee Xiulan smiled awkwardly and said, Why would I want to talk to you? Aren't you my niece? We haven't seen each other in such a long time. Aunt only came to chat with you because she wanted to talk to you.

    There was an indescribable expression on her face. It was a smile that was not a smile. It was as if she had just undergone a plastic surgery. She didn't dare to have too much emotion on her face.

    However, there was a sudden coldness on Xia Anran's face. She sneered and said slowly, Aunt, do you really think that Gu Zichen won't tell me anything? You don't have to keep trying to keep me in suspense. If you have anything to say, just say it.

    Lee Xiulan smiled awkwardly, but inwardly, she was cursing her niece in front of her.

    This Xia Anran really didn't care about face at all! Since he already knew the purpose of her visit, he had to make things difficult for her.

    Withdrawing her smile, she stammered: The management of Xia's Group isn't very good these days, it has really troubled your uncle. Now that you can be considered to have ascended to heaven in a single step, so I want to ask you for help, since Xia's Group is your hard work and effort, if something were to happen to it, you would probably feel sorry for it, so, you don't have any reason not to help, right?

    She pretended to beg while looking at Xia Anran with a bashful expression.

    Xia Anran let out a cold laugh, and said without a care: Whatever's wrong with the Xia's Group, my heart will naturally ache, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me right now, so what right do I have to help?

    Her eyes were filled with a sharp gleam as she stared at Lee Xiulan, wanting to embarrass her.

    Lee Xiulan was a bit unhappy and raised her voice a little. Where did you say that? Aren't we family? Besides, this Xia's Group was single-handedly built by your parents. Don't tell me you really don't have any feelings for it? How about this, I'll give you 20% of the shares, and you help us through this crisis.

    She took a sip of the coffee in front of you and coldly said: Saving you has passed through this hurdle, and is not difficult for the Gu's s, but I have a condition. If you agree to it, I will naturally help save the Xia's s.

    Lee Xiulan saw the opportunity and immediately showed a smile. She said happily, Tell me your condition, even if you want me to kneel down and kowtow to you.

    How could I offer such a condition? I only want to return to Xia's Group, but I am not forcing you. If you agree, I will give you and Uncle a twenty percent share each. If you do not, then we have nothing to talk about now.

    She showed off all the power she could muster without holding back.

    Lee Xiulan threw the coffee stick on the table angrily and said while gritting her teeth, Xia Anran, don't push your luck too much. The Xia's Group is no longer your parents', and we have been taking care of it for so many years.

    Xia Anran nodded her head and said softly, "That's right, if it wasn't for you, your Xia's wouldn't have suffered such a huge crisis. That's my condition, if you think about it properly, you can call me.

    With that, she quickly left without even looking back.

    Lee Xiulan sat in her seat, her face red from anger. She panted heavily as she glared fiercely at the spot where Xia Anran had sat a moment ago.

    Xia Anran, I must let you know the consequences of doing this today.

    She got up and walked out of the café as if nothing had happened.

    After Xia Anran left, she immediately called Gu Zichen.

    Before she could open her mouth, she heard Gu Zichen yell angrily from the other side of the phone, Xia Anran, where are you going? Why didn't you pick up my phone?"

    Xia Anran smiled awkwardly and explained, Sorry, my aunt came to talk to me about your matters, so she didn't return your call. I'll go home immediately, no matter what, I'll leave it to you.

    Gu Zichen suddenly lowered his voice and said gently, From now on, you have to inform me in advance no matter where you go. Don't make me worry, okay?

    Xia Anran snickered and whispered, I know, idiot.

    Stay where you are, I'll come and pick you up right away.

    With that, Gu Zichen hung up.

    Xia Anran's face was full of smiles. Looking at the beautiful night sky, her heart was brimming with happiness.

    Lee Xiulan walked past her and could not help but feel a sense of disdain.

    CHAPTER 204 - A GOOD ACTRESS

    It was a long tree-lined road, and the sky was overcast.

    Xia Anran sat in a taxi, but she had the nagging feeling that it was impossible to drive this car to its end no matter how she drove.

    From the looks of it, there was going to be a heavy rain, so he didn't know what it signified.

    When she arrived at the door, she walked in carefully. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Lin Qian eating pastries leisurely on the sofa.

    She asked tentatively, Auntie, is Gu Zichen in the room?

    Lin Qian could not help but look at her doubtfully. She was even a little surprised.

    What happened to Anran? Why was he so secretive like a thief? Could it be that it was her turn to make Zichen unhappy?

    She also pretended to tiptoe and whispered, Yes, he's in the room. The moment he came back, he went upstairs furiously. He didn't say anything. What happened between you two again?

    Xia Anran pouted and sat down next to Lin Qian, feeling wronged.

    Hearing his aunt say this, he was indeed a little angry.

    Then, she pretended to be pitiful as she said to Lin Qian, Auntie, you have to help me. Gu Zichen didn't wait for me when he got off work today, so he came straight home. I don't know how I offended him, but he didn't say anything to me. Do you think he's out there anymore and doesn't want to talk to me anymore?

    Lin Qian didn't know the reason either. She looked at Xia Anran suspiciously, probing, Haven't you done anything to make him unhappy?

    Soon after, she saw Xia Anran nod her head very firmly and quickly, which made her believe the words of the girl in front of her were true. Then, she said with doubt, That shouldn't be the case, Zichen shouldn't have done something like this for no reason.

    He must have someone outside! In order to make Lin Qian completely trust her, Xia Anran said this in an even more aggrieved manner. Right now, she was performing this drama to the fullest.

    Lin Qian immediately became worried. She patted her shoulder and comforted him, You have to believe him. There must be something that's hard to say. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you about him.

    Just then, Gu Zichen stood on top of the stairs. His tone was full of reproach as he scolded, Xia Anran, come up for a moment.

    Xia Anran felt a bit nervous in her heart when she heard these words. She quickly turned her head away and looked at Lin Qian with eyes full of pity, begging for her help.

    Lin Qian's face also darkened. She pretended to be Gu Zichen and whispered coldly, Wait a moment, Gu Zichen, come down first. I have something to talk to you about!

    Gu Zichen couldn't help but be surprised.

    Why did she turn so angry? He didn't do anything wrong. Anran must have said something that distorted the truth.

    Trembling slowly down the stairs, he stood in front of Lin Qian and said with a smile, Mom, it's already so late. Why don't we talk about it tomorrow?

    Lin Qian's face was even more serious as she scolded, No! Today's matter had to be resolved today! Let me ask you, why didn't you wait for Anran to come home from work today?

    Gu Zichen sighed helplessly.

    As expected, Anran had already changed all these facts in front of her.

    Then he stammered and said, Today, I... It's because I'm not in a good mood that I came back early. Mom, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I won't abandon her.

    Xia Anran couldn't help but secretly laugh when she saw his pained expression.

    She was glad that there was someone supporting her at home.

    Lin Qian nodded and said coldly, You promised me that. If you don't do that in the future, I will blame you for it. Go upstairs and rest as soon as possible, and apologize to Anran.

    Gu Zichen nodded and stared at Xia Anran with hatred. He gritted his teeth and said, Let's go upstairs, my dear wife.

    Seeing him like that, Xia Anran quickly grabbed onto Lin Qian's arm, Auntie, look at him! He threatened me again! Why don't I stay with you today? I'm scared!"

    Lin Qian quickly raised her head and glared at him. She scolded, Don't tell me my words are completely useless right now? Could it be that Anran felt wronged and told me that she shouldn't? You had better make her happy in the shortest time possible, I'll go upstairs first!

    With that, she smiled at Xia Anran and comforted her, Be good and go back to your room with him. Tell me if he does anything that makes you unhappy or not, he won't dare to do anything to you.

    Xia Anran nodded hesitantly. After Lin Qian left, she sneaked a glance at Gu Zichen and urged him, What are you still standing there for? Carry me upstairs!

    Gu Zichen sighed helplessly and forced out a smile. Ok, Mrs Gu.

    With that, he picked her up and slowly walked up the stairs.

    However, Xia Anran said in an unreasonable tone, Can't you walk faster?

    When he sped up, she said, Don't be so fast!

    Finally, after much difficulty, Gu Zichen carried her to the room. The moment he entered the room, he quickly threw her onto the bed.

    I really didn't expect you to be so careful. I always thought that being a daughter-in-law would be the biggest disaster for me after my marriage. Now that I think about it, adding all of you together is the biggest disaster for me!

    Xia Anran chuckled and said weakly, I was wrong. Please don't blame me, alright? I will definitely not underestimate you from now on."

    Gu Zichen's face was filled with disbelief as he replied, You're not making a snitch at all, alright? I didn't do anything wrong, so why did I get scolded for no reason? Tonight I must let you know the consequences of this."

    A devilish smile appeared on his face as he slowly approached Xia Anran.

    Xia Anran snickered. She didn't evade. Instead, she walked up to him and quickly kissed his lips, revealing a charming smile.

    I will also let you know how terrifying the consequences of your decision are!

    CHAPTER 205 - ALARM CLOCK

    It had rained heavily last night, and the air was fresh and fresh.

    Early in the morning, Gu Zichen's phone rang at the same time as his alarm clock.

    He reached out his hand to push down the alarm clock, but the phone was still lying there like a rascal.

    He could not help but frown as he sat up. He rubbed his eyes.

    What is this? There was no alarm clock set yesterday! It must have been Anran's doing. But the alarm clock was so loud that she didn't even wake up.

    As he picked up his cellphone, he looked at Xia Anran who was still sleeping with a grumbling look on her face. Then, he got up angrily and shouted at the person on the phone, Who is it!? So early in the morning?

    On the other side of the phone, Gu Qishan couldn't help but be stunned. He then said helplessly, Gu Zichen, it can't be. The sun is already so high and you still haven't woken up. This doesn't seem like you.

    When Gu Zichen heard his voice, his face was full of complaints: My dear little uncle, why did you call so early? Why don't you go back to the company later and say something?

    As he spoke, he lifted his head to look at the clock on the wall. After knowing the time, he sighed helplessly.

    It was obviously still so early.

    Gu Qishan was a bit unhappy and complained: Hey, didn't you ask me to go investigate that thing? I've been busy with these things during this period of time. When the results came to fruition, I wanted to notify you as soon as possible, but I didn't expect you to have such an attitude. Since you don't want to hear it, then forget it!

    With that, he pretended to hang up the phone.

    But just at that time, Gu Zichen quickly begged, Little uncle, what are you doing? I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously, quickly tell me.

    As he spoke, he left the room. He was afraid that Xia Anran would wake up from the call, and even more afraid that she would hear the rest of the call.

    Gu Qishan shook his head helplessly, and didn't joke with him anymore. He immediately replied to Xia Anran with a serious face, coughed a few times, and recounted, "You told me to check your car accident five years ago, and I indeed didn't find anything suspicious, but I accidentally found some information about Xia Anran's parents, and the car accident was judged to be a traffic accident, but I always felt that something was wrong when I looked at the surveillance camera back then. Because no one would turn around on the highway for no reason, and the surveillance cameras didn't see who they were calling at that time, so I always felt that there was something wrong with the car.

    Gu Zichen frowned and thought about what he had said.

    Indeed, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Could it be that the death of Anran's parents was not an accident?

    He came back to his senses and said with a heavy expression, I understand. Thank you. I will trouble you again when I have something to do in the future.

    With that, he hung up the phone and walked slowly into the room. He looked at Xia Anran who was still sleeping, adjusted his mind, and revealed a smile in the mirror. He then whispered next to her ear: Little lazy pig, it's already so late, why aren't you awake yet?

    The hot breath hit her cochlea and went deep into her ears.

    Xia Anran felt an itch and could not help but shrink back. She closed her eyes and giggled for a while, muttering, Go away! How annoying."

    Ye Zichen sat up from the bed with a troubled expression and looked at Gu Zichen who had a happy look on his face.

    Can't you get me to wake up with a complete update? Why is it always willing to torture my ears?"

    Gu Zichen frowned and smiled again. He said in confusion: Didn't you set the alarm clock? It didn't wake you up, but rather woke me up. You blamed me for waking you up. I'm sticking to my duty as an alarm clock.

    When Xia Anran heard this, she immediately raised her head to look at the clock on the wall. She couldn't help but be shocked.

    She got off the bed in a hurry and said anxiously, Alright, alright, I'll forgive you. I don't have time to waste here with you. I made an appointment to work together. I need to prepare in advance.

    With that, she went into the bathroom.

    Gu Zichen shook his head helplessly as he looked at her back.

    She was still in bed with such an important matter, how did she get the blessing of the heavens?

    Subsequently, he also stretched lazily and went downstairs first.

    Seeing him get down, Lin Qian immediately went up to him and whispered, Is Anran still sleeping? Did you make her happy?

    Gu Zichen couldn't help but feel disdain towards her. He replied coldly: She's already awake and she's washing up.

    After walking a few more steps, he suddenly turned around and complained, Mom, what happened to you? Anran was clearly playing with us last night, but you still helped her!"

    Lin Qian smiled. I understood it long ago, but I can't help my son not his daughter-in-law. You tell me, so you should stop making Anran unhappy. It's also hard for me to be stuck in the middle of it.
