Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Wife, Are You Back_1

"Father?" Gong Zhiming’s forehead broke out in cold sweat from the pain, "All my life, he’s done nothing but scold me for being useless. What has he ever given me? How has he ever helped me? I haven’t received a single cent of his money!"

"Grandfather is just afraid you won’t work hard and is pushing you to carve out your own career! Is his strictness really harming you?"

"There’s no need to speak up for him. That old geezer is just a miser! Hah, with all that money, does he plan to take it with him to the grave?"

Hopeless!

"You’d better not bother Grandfather again, or I won’t let you off!" Gong Xiaoqiao left the café in a rage.

Gong Xiaoqiao was filled with pent-up frustration and wanted to talk to Gu Hangshen when she got home, but today, exceptionally, he had not come back yet.

But soon he called, "Honey, are you home?"

She hadn’t poured out her feelings yet, but his single word ’honey’ lifted her spirits considerably, "Mhm."

"I have some matters tonight and can’t make it back to have dinner with you. Just heat up the lunch in the fridge, it should be fine. Will you be okay on your own?"

"Mhm, got it. Go on with your work!"

"Honey..."

"Mhm?"

"You seem a bit out of sorts?"

"Uh, no, not at all!"

"Really? Is there something you want to tell me?" Gu Hangshen asked again.

Damn, how can a big guy be even more meticulous and sensitive than a woman?

"Really, nothing. Get back to work!" Gong Xiaoqiao answered.

After finishing her dinner, Gong Xiaoqiao lay in bed and, having waited two hours without Gu Hangshen’s return, began to recite her lines in bed. Before she knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and it was almost eleven o’clock.

Yawning and looking at the warm, orange-toned curtains, she felt very sleepy but didn’t want to sleep at all. Any slight sound outside made her think he had come back.

It took her years to let go, but just a few days to revert back to her old ways.

It’s so hard to leave someone, yet so easy to become dependent on someone.

Gu Hangshen called again just as she was waking up, "Honey, are you asleep?"

"Not yet."

Gu Hangshen laughed softly, "Can’t sleep because you’re thinking of me?"

"Cough cough, Mr. CEO, keep it down, will you? Who are you trying to rile up? Don’t you know all the guys at the station are single?"

Gong Xiaoqiao heard laughter from men in the background and asked curiously, "Gu Hangshen, where are you?"

"Do you want to sleep now? Should I have someone pick you up?" Gu Hangshen asked.

Gong Xiaoqiao thought for a moment, "Tell me where you are, I can go by myself."

"It’s too late, it’s not safe for you to go alone."

In the end, she did as Gu Hangshen wished.

She had thought he was entertaining someone, perhaps a client, but to her surprise, the person who came to pick her up turned out to be a young police officer in uniform, driving a police car, who bashfully addressed her as "Sister-in-law" upon seeing her.

Damn, in the middle of the night, this setup made it seem like she was about to be arrested!

If it wasn’t for that ’sister-in-law’, she really would have misunderstood!

What surprised Gong Xiaoqiao even more was that the young officer actually took her to the police station.

Walking in with a puzzled face, Gong Xiaoqiao looked around.

"Sister-in-law, please take a seat. I’ll go and report this."

The young man was busying himself with moving chairs and pouring tea.

"Don’t bother yourself," Gong Xiaoqiao said politely, then uncertainly asked, "Is Gu Hangshen here?"

The young man nodded, "He is!"

Having said that, he dashed into an inner room.
