Her Clingy Husband

Proofread by Yu Bing

Qin Yue nods. “Mr. Chen is also very happy and asks you to pay more attention to your health.”

“I’m fine.” Su Ni subconsciously shakes her head and is about to smoke another cigarette. But she suddenly remembers Gu Zechen’s facial expression indicating his displeasure the other night. He said he hates the smell of smoke on her body. Unknowingly she withdraws her hand.

“To sign the contract is just a matter of time for me, and there is nothing to boast of. Make sure our staff receive and understand my order: Supplier quality monitoring must be strictly enforced. In addition, the warehouses must be re-selected.”Sitting in front of the desk, Su Ni gives her order.

“No problem.”There is a flicker of smile on Qin Yue’s face. He turns to leave. Su Ni leans back in the chair to make herself comfortable and gently rubs her temples. Her head no longer hurts as much as it did yesterday, but she is still weak. Realizing that everything is settled, Su Ni decides to go back to Gu’s house first. Just as she is walking down the hall, Gu Zechen’s call comes in. Su Ni, who by nature stays calm no matter what happens, suddenly finds her heart pounding, which almost breaks out of her body.

“Hello.”

Taking a deep breath, Su Ni quickly answers the phone, trying to sound relaxed and less rushy. “Is the morning meeting over?”

“It is finished. Where are you? “On the phone, Gu Zechen tone did not reveal a slight trace of his emotions. It did at least not give her a clue.

“I… er, just woke up, still sleepy and don’t feel like doing anything.”

Su Ni quickens her pace and subtly changes the subject of conversation. “Are you still running a fever? Have you taken the medicine I asked Li Mo to buy for you?”

Mm.”Gu Zechen grunts.

“That’s good. Then … will you come back home at noon?” Su Ni’s eyes scans through the street for the sign of a taxi. Her top priority now is to find a car to go back home.

“Qin Yue is showing more sign of low efficiency lately. A whole week has already passed still he can not find a driver. He needs a constant reminder,” Qin Yue tells herself. Immersed in her own thoughts , Su Ni did not realize a latest model of Audi pulled up just in front of her.

Startled, Su Ni takes two steps back but immediately pulls herself together by faking a chuckle into the phone. “Mom is playing cards with someone downstairs. It’s a little bit noisy here…”

Just then, the rear window of the Audi slowly shakes down and Su Ni catches a glimpse of Gu Zechen sitting inside, his sharp eyes cast upon her like a knife.

Shrinking, Su Ni hears the other person still speaking on the phone. “Is it?”

Su Ni opens her eyes wide and her body stiffens as she grips the phone tightly with both hands.

“Gu, Ze, Chen!”The words jump out uncontrollably from Su Ni’s teeth.

The corner of Gu Zechen’s mouth lifted, Su Ni seem to see a smile flickering across his face, then he hangs up the phone in front of Su Ni.

The smile Su Ni manages to plaster on her face is completely unsustainable. She quickly flashes back in her mind everything she said on the phone in order to make the story consistent and justify herself. Gu Zechen’s sudden showup in her company is not a coincidence, which means that this guy has already known that she went to her office.

So, he is just playing cat and mouse with her. Su Ni feels resentful, but she doesn’t dare to say that in front of Gu Zechen. She sneaks inside and sits next to Gu Zechen then immediately moves towards her side of the back seat again, keeping as large a distance as possible in the small limited space.

“Mm… I am here, er , to handle an emergent situation, and it takes just a couple of hours. I am just on the point of going back home.” Before Gu Zechen explodes, Su Ni squeezes out a smile that is worse than cry and tries to offer a reasonable and acceptable excuse. Gu Zechen doesn’t seem to care, his hands busy with the ruffles on his pants. He doesn’t utter a single word.

“Honey… are you angry?” Su Ni cautiously looks at Gu Zechen worriedly.

“No.” He answers crisply without hesitation.

“That’s good.”

On hearing this, she finds her heart still gripped by something. Instinctively, she quickly moves towards Gu Zechen and holds him by his arm, leaning her entire body against it and casually says. “Actually, my health is better than before. By the way, why do you come to Su’s? Are you here for me?”

“What do you think?” Gu Zechen smiles at her. Su Ni, however, distinctly senses that Gu Zechen is gritting his teeth, and there is a warning sign in his eyes. Su Ni slowly loosened the arm she was holding. She should be”more careful”, she told herself.

Gu Zechen hates to be disobeyed. She not only disobeys Gu Zechen, to make matters worse she even dares to deceive him. If Gu Zechen isn’t irritated, the sun may rise from the west.

“Fine.”

Su Ni takes a deep breath and tries to keep her emotions under control. Fixing her eyes on a face with a weird expression, she continue to justify herself,”You see, nothing happened. ”

“Just now, no less than ten bad guys dressed in black appeared in the north and south passageways of your company. And you stood right there in the most prominent position, totally aware of the danger. What would have happened if I’d been even one minute late?”

“What? Is there such a thing?” Su Ni is so frightened that she quickly looks at that direction as is pointed by Gu Zechen. But there isn’t even a sign of a passing pedestrian.

“That couldn’t be true.” Su Ni murmurs. But hearing what Gu Zechen said still makes her feel insecure. In broad daylight, and right in Su’s company. What a nerve they’ve got!

“Do you think I’m trying to scare you, Su Ni?”

The smile on Gu Zechen’s face disappears. Finally, his face becomes cold and bossy. He stares viciously at Su Ni and completely loses his temper. “Didn’t I tell you last night? Didn’t I ask you not to leave this morning? Su Ni, do you ignore my words? Do you think you are smarter?”

Yes, you’re quite something! You signed a big contract, taking over the shopping mall. What a huge victory it is to invest 30 million RMB.” Gu Zechen seems to be enraged and he scolded Su Ni, with his chin thrusting uncontrollably. His two hands are tugging at his pants so hard that his joints make creaking noises.

Su Ni shrinks upon the scold cast upon her. Even before Gu Zechen loses his temper, she already feels like sitting on pins and needles. Now Gu Zechen’ snarls makes her situation even worse and she feels that she is even more scared.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I’m sorry.” Right now, only an honest apology can make Gu Zechen’s anger die down a bit. Gu Zechen looks out of the window and doesn’t speak.

Su Ni cautiously leans and whispers in his ear. “Are you still angry?”

Gu Zechen remains silent.

After Su Ni begs for quite a while, Gu Zechen remains as immovable as a statue. Su Ni begins to lose heart.

At that moment, Gu Zechen says. “Su Ni, I don’t want to say the same thing twice. Before the old scores with Yin family are settled, you’d better stay at home.”

“I know.” She can understand that Gu Zechen is worried about her safety, but she is the only one who can lead the company now. How can she afford to be absent under today’s circumstances?

As if Gu Zechen could read her mind, he cast a glance at her and adds. “In these two days, Li Mo will be your body guard. Let Li Mo drive you to everywhere you want to go.”

Su Ni opens her mouth. It is a little incredulous.

Gu Zechen’s eyes have wandered away to outside again, looking at the city street scenes that speed past, and says something that extremely hurts her self-confidence. “I’m far smarter when drunken than you are even when sober. So, Su Ni, just resign yourself to your fate. Nothing can escape from a hunter”

Su Ni is already like an eggplant unprotected and exposed to freezing temperature, completely discolored , defeated and dispirited.
