Chapter 260: A True Wife Slave
When Xiang Wanqiao was three months pregnant, Gu Jingzhan's pregnancy-associated syndrome began to slowly disappear.
In addition, he took the antiemetic prescribed by Lu Qingzhou, and his vomiting symptoms also improved.
After recovering, Gu Jingzhan returned to normal work.
this day.
Xiang Yuan walked into Gu Jingzhan's office holding two gold-stamped invitation letters.
"Master Zhan, this is the invitation letter sent by Mr. Qin, inviting you and your wife to attend the charity reception held at the Lanting Hotel on Friday night."
Hearing the name of Mr. Qin, Gu Jingzhan's eyes moved slightly.
He took the invitation and said, "Please reply to Mr. Qin for me. My wife and I will be there on time."
Xiang Yuan responded, "Yes."
night.
Gu Jingzhan took the two exquisite invitations, walked to Xiang Wanqiao and handed them to her.
"There is a charity reception on Friday, and Mr. Qin invited us to attend."
Xiang Wanqiao took the invitation letter and asked, "Mr. Qin? Qin Yuhong?"
"Ah."
Qin Yuhong has a very good personal relationship with Mr. Gu.
Gu Jingzhan used to be with the old man, and Qin Yuhong watched him grow up. He was an elder whom he respected.
Qin Yuhong has no children and his wife died early, leaving only Mr. Gu as his only close friend with whom he could talk about anything.
After Mr. Gu passed away, Qin Yuhong was so sad that he went into the deep mountains and forests, isolated himself from the world, and escaped reality.
Time flies, and it was not until the recent news of Madam Gu's death that Qin Yuhong gradually opened his heart and came out of his grief.
Xiang Wanqiao stared at the invitation in her hand, her fingertips gently running over the gold-plated letters on it.
"How did you respond to Mr. Qin?" she asked.
Gu Jingzhan replied: "I asked Xiang Yuan to reply to Mr. Qin on my behalf and told him that we will be there on time that day."
"That's fine."
Xiang Wanqiao had no objection to his reply.
Gu Jingzhan looked at her, then sat down beside her, his slender and handsome hands gently around her waist, with a hint of worry between his brows.
"But you are pregnant now. If you attend such a cocktail party, I am afraid you will be too tired."
Hearing this, Xiang Wanqiao smiled gently.
"Don't worry, I know my body well. Besides, don't I handle various tasks as usual?"
Gu Jingzhan kept frowning, his eyes full of love and worry for her.
Seeing this, Xiang Wanqiao reached out and hugged his neck, leaning forward slightly, and gave a gentle kiss on his pale thin lips.
"Relax, I'm just pregnant, I'm not a porcelain doll that will break if touched, there's no need to be so nervous."
Gu Jingzhan sighed softly, "Yes, you are not a porcelain doll that will break if touched, but you are the most precious treasure in my heart. I am afraid of dropping you when I hold you in my hands, and afraid of melting you when I hold you in my mouth."
Xiang Wanqiao smiled with her lips curved, and then gently leaned her head on his broad and solid shoulders.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, "Are you worried about me or the baby in my belly?"
"Of course I'm worried about you." Gu Jingzhan answered without hesitation.
Then, Xiang Wanqiao asked again: "Do I look fragile?"
Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyes to look at her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he replied: "No, my Qiaoqiao is the most powerful, not delicate at all."
"So, you don't have to worry about me. I will protect myself, the children, and you."
When Xiang Wanqiao said this, there was an indescribable firmness in her voice.
Gu Jingzhan kissed her on the forehead, "Okay."
……
As the lights came on, the luxurious banquet hall sparkled.
Drinking and drinking each other.
Gu Jingzhan put his arm around Xiang Wanqiao's waist and slowly walked into the banquet hall.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were cast on the two of them.
Xiang Wanqiao wore a gilded fishtail skirt with delicate golden sequins. The naturally pleated fishtail curve outlined her graceful figure under the light and shadow.
The asymmetrical straps of the dress cleverly show off her graceful shoulders and neck, and the backless design exposes her smooth and delicate back to the air without any cover.
Gorgeous undercurrents, swaying gracefully.
Gu Jingzhan was wearing a gray-blue striped peaked-lapel haute couture suit, which was well-tailored and fit his tall figure perfectly.
He wore a simple white shirt with a crisp collar, which complemented the dark blue printed tie.
Calm and reserved, yet elegant.
The suit pocket square in the same color on his left chest further highlights his noble and extraordinary temperament.
The man's tough features were tinged with a hint of coldness, his narrow eyes carried a sense of indifference and alienation, and he exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored.
Someone was whispering below.
"Have you heard? Not long ago, Madam Gu had a heart attack in the nursing home and passed away."
"I heard a long time ago that Madam Gu would have such an ending. This is her retribution."
"How do you say this?"
"Mrs. Gu gave up Gu Jingzhan for the little grandson she brought back from outside, and even kicked him out of the Gu family and Gu Group. But in the end, she discovered that the little grandson was not of the Gu family's bloodline."
"Ah? This is a shocking piece of news!"
"This really proves the old saying, karma always pays off."
"Yes, Madam Gu and Gu Wenhua are getting stabbed after their work is done. This is their retribution."
"If you ask me, Madam Gu is really confused. She doesn't even think about who is responsible for the Gu family's continued glory over the years. Look at Mr. Gu now. After going through so much, his position in Kyoto is still unshakable."
"Alas, I can only say that she is confused."
"They are mentally ill. Only mentally ill people would think of provoking Mr. Gu."
"..."
When Qin Yuhong heard the servant come to report that Gu Jingzhan had arrived, he immediately withdrew from the social engagement.
He walked towards Gu Jingzhan and greeted him with a smile: "Xiaozhan is here."
Gu Jingzhan responded with a gentle smile, his tone full of respect for his elders: "Mr. Qin."
Qin Yuhong looked at Gu Jingzhan, thinking back to what he had experienced, and felt very emotional.
He didn't say anything, but just reached out and patted Gu Jingzhan on the shoulder.
Gu Jingzhan smiled with relief, and then introduced Qin Yuhong: "Mr. Qin, this is my wife, Xiang Wanqiao."
Xiang Wanqiao raised a gentle smile on her face, and said in a soft but polite voice: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
Qin Yuhong's gaze quietly fell on Xiang Wanqiao, and he looked at her calmly.
Then, he smiled heartily: "Xiao Zhan, you have good taste!"
Qin Yuhong praised sincerely: "Your wife is stunningly beautiful and well-mannered. She is a perfect match for you. You are simply a match made in heaven."
Xiang Wanqiao felt a little embarrassed when she heard Qin Yuhong praising her.
She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said modestly: "Mr. Qin, you are too kind."
Qin Yuhong waved his hand, and the smile on his face became even warmer.
"It's not a compliment, not a compliment at all."
Gu Jingzhan, who was standing aside, looked at Xiang Wanqiao tenderly, with undisguised doting and love in his eyes, almost overflowing.
"Mr. Qin is right. My wife is indeed beautiful and generous, and she is a perfect match for me."
Hearing this, Qin Yuhong's even more hearty laughter echoed in the air.
"Haha, you are really a complete wife slave."
