Little Wife's Diary: My Husband is My Boss!
Chapter 45: What If...

Chapter 45: What If...

The moment he saw his wife’s message, the gloom on Feng Zhexuan’s face disappeared instantly. When he finished responding to his wife’s message, he noticed everyone was looking at him.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you not talking? You have ten minutes to finish your report."

Hearing this, the marketing director felt like crying. But, what Feng Zhexuan said next made everyone want to cry.

"I need to pick up my wife, so finish all the reports in four hours," he added.

Now that he has posted his marriage certificate in his WeChat moments, everyone who worked at Feng Group and the subsidiaries companies know that their boss is married. Therefore, they can only speak faster and complete the report within the time limit.

Wei Zheming, who was sitting behind Feng Zhexuan, looked at the secretary’s pale face covered with a layer of sweat and sighed. Since the secretary couldn’t seem to keep up with the marketing director’s speaking speed, he had no choice but to help her.

As he typed out the minutes, he thought, ’At this rate, my fingers may be crippled when the meeting finishes.’

At the same time, in the First Hospital, Yan Yuling was reading and waiting for Gu Jianci in the cafeteria. Time passed by, and Gu Jianci finally finished his work and sat across from her.

"Yuling, I’m sorry to keep you waiting," he said apologetically.

Yan Yuling closed the book and said, "It’s alright. Jianci, where do you want to eat for lunch?"

Gu Jianci looked at his watch and said, "I only have thirty minutes, let’s eat here."

"Okay."

While paying for their lunch, Gu Jianci said, "Today’s menu is not bad. They have your favorite steamed eggs."

After lunch, Yan Yuling looked at him and hesitated for a long time.

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Jianci smiled and said, "Yuling, you keep looking at me. Do you have anything to say to me?"

After a while, Yan Yuling finally nodded and said, "Well, I do have something to tell you. However, I hope you won’t be angry with me."

Gu Jianci raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What’s the matter? Your behavior makes me nervous."

He looked around, approached her, and asked in a low voice, "Did you do anything illegal?"

When Yan Yuling heard this, she glared at him and said, "I’m a law-abiding citizen, okay?"

"Then why are you so hesitant?" he asked curiously.

"Well, Jianci, I’m married." Yan Yuling said.

Hearing these words, Gu Jianci’s mind was shaken and he looked at her in disbelief with eyes full of shock. It took him a long time to react as he said, "Yuling, your joke is not funny."

"Jianci, I’m not kidding. I’m married. I’m sorry I kept it from you," Yan Yuling said.

Gu Jianci frowned and said, "Impossible, I never knew you were in a relationship before. Why did you get married all of a sudden? Did your father force you to get married?"

"Yuling, if you are forced by your father, I can help you. You can tell me everything," he added.

Yan Yuling fell silent after hearing his words. Although her marriage was unexpected, she was not forced. So, she shook her head and said, "Jianci, no one is forcing me."

After hearing her words, Gu Jianci’s hope was shattered. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to control his emotions. When he felt the moisture on his palm, he put his hands under the table, hiding the blood on his palm from her.

After a long time, he asked hoarsely, "Who is he?"

"I can’t tell you now. But when the time comes, I will introduce him to you."

"You, do you love him?" he asked again.

Yan Yuling thought about her feelings toward her husband and said, "I don’t know, but I don’t hate him."

Gu Jianci looked at her and said, "Yuling, if you need to find someone to be your husband, I can help you. You don’t need to marry a stranger. You have me. As long as you agree, I will help you get a divorce and marry you!"

After hearing this, Yan Yuling finally realized that He Luyun’s words might be right.

Has Gu Jianci really had feelings for her all this time? But why didn’t he tell her? She thought he just regarded her as a friend, so she didn’t dare to expect anything more. If only...

Before she could think about any possibilities, Yan Yuling stopped her thoughts. There is no ’if’ in this world. Now that she is married to Feng Zhexuan, she shouldn’t harbor any intention toward another man. What’s more, Feng Zhexuan has said that he will never divorce.

As she realized that both of them had no courage to confess and missed their opportunity, she felt a tinge of regret. But, she should not let him continue to think about that ’what if’. As a friend, this was the only thing she could do for him.

After making up her mind, she looked at him and said, "Jianci, to me, you are my best friend. You are my brother. There is no way we can get married."

When Gu Jianci heard this, his body trembled due to a sudden splitting headache. He closed his eyes and lowered his head as he bore the pain. When he opened his eyes again, his pupils dilated for a moment before returning to normal.

At this moment, his eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent. It took him a while to get his emotions under control. When he raised his head, his eyes had returned to the gentle and warm gaze like before.

He looked at Yan Yuling with interest, as if it was the first time they met. After a while, he nodded and said, "I understand. Congratulations on your marriage."

Hearing this, Yan Yuling looked at him with surprise and said with doubts, "Thank you, Jianci."

She took her bag and added, "You said you only have thirty minutes to rest. So, I won’t take more of your time. Let’s have a meal together another day."

"Okay, see you later," Gu Jianci nodded.
