After checking the financial profitability at the company, Gu Feng left for ho.
As soon as he entered the door, he could hear the sound of the gas burning from the kitchen.
Approaching, he discovered Lin Yue wearing an apron, busy cooking.
Her wavy long hair was pinned up, and she looked very serious and focused on the dish she was preparing.
So much so that Gu Feng was observing her figure without her noticing.
She even picked up a piece of at, tenderly pursed her lips to blow on it, then tasted it. Her enchanting eyes lit up with satisfaction as she chewed.
After tucking the stray strands of hair behind her ear, she finally noticed Gu Feng standing in the dining room corridor watching her.
She asked, "You’re back? Have you had dinner?"
Gu Feng shook his head, "I was planning to order takeout."
Lin Yue said, "If you don’t mind, take a seat. The food here is almost ready."
Gu Feng sat down at the dining table and casually remarked, "It’s a bit surprising that not only can you make breakfast, but you can also cook a full al?"
Lin Yue chuckled, "What’s so strange about that? During my years studying abroad, I cooked for myself."
As she spoke, she brought over a plate of appetizing braised pork, and upon placing it on the table, her hot fingers instinctively touched her earlobe, adding an adorable contrast to her cool and bewitching deanor.
"Do you think I’m different from the other young ladies you know?" Lin Yue smiled, "Be careful not to fall for . Many love experts say that liking soone starts with wanting to know them."
Gu Feng was equally relaxed and natural, "Even if I fell for you, wouldn’t that be normal? You are Jiangcheng’s most beautiful CEO, even more attractive than those young ladies I know, and you can cook better than them."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Yue’s cheeks turned red as she turned around. She went to get bowls and chopsticks for Gu Feng, then sat down herself, asking with interest, "If you did fall for , what would you do?"
Just as Gu Feng put a piece of at in his mouth, his chewing slowed down. Glancing at Lin Yue, he said, "We’re already married, what else can I do? Unless you want to have a baby?"
Lin Yue’s face flushed, and she lowered her head, gently starting to eat her own al.
Feeling his words were sowhat frivolous, Gu Feng coughed lightly, "You haven’t been ho much these past few days, has sothing happened at the company?"
Lin Yue didn’t want Gu Feng to know about the situation with the company.
She had invited Gu Feng to deal with family expectations, but aside from that, she could navigate the company’s troubles by herself.
However, things were now slightly beyond her control.
The very reason she hadn’t co ho these past days was that she was occupied with the company’s affairs.
She had t with several suppliers, trying to persuade the long-ti cooperating factories.
She was also looking for new investors willing to put money in, but to no avail.
She had even held a eting with the current shareholders, hoping they would all invest to help the company through its crisis, but they were unwilling to contribute any more money.
Out of options, Lin Yue paid out of her pocket, buying back so shares from shareholders at a significantly low stock price.
If there was one piece of good news, it was that she now essentially had 100% control of the company.
But the bad news was that she had used the 10 billion left by her father to buy back the shares from the other shareholders.
This ant she was taking on all of the company’s risks—should it fail to survive, she would be left with nothing.
Her reason for coming back ho was simply a hope that seeing Gu Feng might improve her anxious and restless mood.
"That..." Lin Yue suddenly blurted out, "I’ve been thinking, maybe we should just get a divorce and end this relationship."
Gu Feng replied, "I disagree."
Lin Yue asked, "Why not?"
Gu Feng responded, "My mom just t you and she’s very pleased. How can I tell them it was all just a joke? Do you know my dad was in the military too? He’d skin alive if he found out, alright?"
"Is it that serious?" Lin Yue was taken aback, "Would he still hit you if we tell Uncle later?"
Gu Feng avoided the question, "Why do you suddenly want to end our marriage?"
"Because..." Lin Yue struggled to start, "it’s just that, I might face bankruptcy soon, and I might not be able to guarantee the living expenses I promised you in the contract."
She stamred, "But if you don’t mind that, and just want to continue playing your wife to deal with your family, then I can cooperate. However, if your relatives find out I’m not the wealthy lady they thought, you might lose face with them."
With determination, she said, "So, I thought it’d be better if we just called it quits."
Gu Feng countered, "Your relatives’ side might be sorted, but I haven’t completely settled things on my end. You still have to accompany to Beijing to et the elders, so before that, I disagree with a divorce."
After speaking, Gu Feng picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, then stood up and headed outside.
Lin Yue thought to herself, hadn’t he just co back? Why was he going out again?
"Where are you going? Aren’t you supposed to rest after coming back?"
Without turning back, Gu Feng said, "I’m off to resolve the issue of my wife wanting a divorce from !"
