Her Clingy Husband

Chapter 40: Stay Away From Him



Proofread by Peter Gong

“Dear…” Su Ni shrinks, leaning in his arms and crying in a low voice.

“Ruan Yichen is not as simple as you think. Stay away from him in the future.” Gu Zechen suddenly loosens Su Ni, and lets her stand up by herself. Then he eats steak again on her own. Su Ni’s head is a little dizzy. Gu Zechen’s words muddle her up. She needs some time to understand.

“Do you remember what I said?” Unexpectedly, Gu Zechen turns his head and confirms again.

Su Ni quickly nods. She is not stupid. She absolutely finds that Gu Zechen is hostile to Ruan Yichen, but he is not jealous as Ruan Yichen says. “But you have to tell me what Ruan Yichen is going to do?”

Gu Zechen looks indifferent, and glances her. “You only need to remember what I said.”

Su Ni doesn’t want to ask. Because Gu Zechen doesn’t say and she can’t get any answer. So she changes the topic. “What you said before is to help me get the Nanjiawan project. It is really because of the word from Mr. Fu?”

“Um.” Gu Zechen’s head doesn’t look up. Su Ni notices that Gu Zechen cuts the steak into a small piece like a picture of nine palaces and eats with relish. It seems that he likes steak besides fish. Su Ni remembers silently.

“By the way, I will invest five million dollars into your business. On Friday, you can prepare for it.”

“Ah?” Su Ni is stunned.

“You… You are going to take part in the Nanjiawan project.” No matter how stupid she is, Su Ni also understands.

No matter what method she used before, Gu Zechen just didn’t agree. Today, after meeting Ruan Yichen, he not only promises to help her to win the Nanjiawan project, but he will invest her business as well and she will have a say. If Gu Zechen didn’t his consideration, why would he help her so much? Gu Zechen does not deny it. He raises his eyebrows, showing his disdain.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“All right.” In front of Gu, Su Ni has no right to refute. What’s more, to ask Gu Zechen to invest is always Qin Yue’s wish. Now it is to make her easy. A wry smile flashes across Su Ni’s mouth. All the problems of Nanjiawan project are solved. It seems that she gets Ruan Yichen’s favor.

“What do you need me to do?” Su Ni asks.

“I don’t need too many people to know my existence. In name, it is still you who preside over the overall situation. I will show up on some necessary occasions. The only thing is that you have to keep a backup for me of any reported information and any decisions about Ruan Yichen.” After Gu Zechen finishes, Su Ni takes a breath and purses her lips without speaking.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Zechen asks her. Su Ni shakes her head, and then nods quickly. She does not expect that Gu Zechen’s suspicion of Ruan Yichen has worsened. He is not only to be involved in his project, but also to pay attention to Ruan Yichen’s words and deeds. In other words, now she becomes Ruan Yichen’s eyes, helping him to monitor Ruan Yichen.

Although that man is far from a close friend, he is her partner after all. She has known his basic personal information. These days, apart from his confident ambition, she can’t see any other clues. What is Gu Zechen really worrying about?

“I’ll tell you what you should know, and don’t ask more about what you shouldn’t know.” In a word, Gu Zechen completely dispels Su Ni’s doubtful mind.

Su Ni takes a deep breath in and out. “Mr. Gu has helped me so much. I should be grateful.”

With that, Su Ni gets up, takes the wine divider personally and pours the claret into his goblet. A quarter, just three mouthfuls.

Su Ni looks at him with a smile and is relaxed. “Toast to you, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Zechen doesn’t refuse. He puts the wine into his mouth without expression. But he doesn’t make any comments as he did at the exchange meeting.

Su Ni understands one thing later. That night Gu Zechen went there and helped her having a drink with Director Zhang. She thinks that he not only wanted to protect her, but to help himself as well. Actually, he wants to win the Nanjiawan’s project. His ambition was exposed from that day. That is why Su Ni is worried about the next day. But Gu Zechen doesn’t need her explanation at all and doubt her at all. Whether she or Ruan Yichen, it’s just like a chess piece in Gu Zechen’s hand. They fall into their position of the chessboard. From the beginning, Gu Zechen has already schemed for everything.

“Honey, I have to go to the exchange meeting. You can eat slowly here, and we won’t go back together.” Su Ni puts down her glass and says softly. Gu Zechen is still sitting in a dignified posture without words. Su Ni thinks he agrees. She takes her bag and goes out.

There is wind blowing over Su Ni’s hair, and some haze in his heart is blown away. But it is still foggy. She calls to Qin Yue, telling him that Gu Zechen has promised to invest. She has already done what she was asked to do. So what else should she do next?

After a while, Qin Yue sends a text message. “Business as usual.” Su Ni smiles helplessly. This is getting on track. She will do what she should do. Once she finds out the bias, Mr. Chen will show up again.

At the exchange meeting, Ruan Yichen is not present in the morning. On the white lace tabletop, red wine is still where he was before. It seems that Ruan Yichen is not here. Su Ni wants to leave. It’s not a good day. Although she can guess that Ruan won’t be angry, she is the host after all.

What’s more, it’s not the first time Gu Zechen has upset them.

Su Ni is upset. As soon as she walks to the door, she sees Gu Zechen’s Maybach slowly coming out. Su Ni stops to let Gu Zechen go first. As a result, Gu Zechen must have seen her, for the car is parked not far away from her and does not intend to leave. No way, Su Ni has to go reluctantly and opens the back door. Sure enough, Gu Zechen is leaning on the back of the chair. Su Ni forces a smile. “I think it will take you a little longer before you finish eating.”

Gu Zechen doesn’t speak. He just stretches out his hand and takes the woman into his arms. Su Ni pretends to lean on his chest peacefully, and soon smells a smell of wine. She remembers that when she left, she just poured a little wine for Gu Zechen. Does he drink a lot after she left?

“Would you like to have a rest?” Su Ni asks with concern. As a result, Su Ni feels his complicated eyes. She really just wants Gu Zechen to have a rest. She has no other idea.

But Gu Zechen doesn’t give him the chance to regret. He smiles and says. “Sure. Let go back to the hotel.”

“Mr. Gu, leave me by the side of the road later. I suddenly remember that there is something else to deal with over there.” Su Ni makes the last desperate struggle.
