Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Gu Zheng, I just want to take a look at the students’ information. It’s not like I’m doing anything illegal. Can’t you just make an exception?” Qiao Xi’s fingers cracked.
“Mrs. Gu, you have to know that apart from the chancellor of Li City University, no one else has the right to access the data of Li City University. Of course, if you have the patience, you can submit an application as a teacher. If the majority agrees, you’ll be able to see what you want to see, Mrs. Gu.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
What was even more infuriating was that Gu Zheng even took out his phone. “Do you want to submit the application? I’ll send you the application form. Oh, right, I remember that there was also a teacher who said he wanted to look at the information previously, but the application was rejected by the university board as soon as it was submitted.”
Qiao Xi felt her blood boil. “Bullsh*t! Song Shiyu got his hands on the information about Li City University not long ago. If he can, then why can’t I?!”
Li City University was strict with access? That was bullsh*t! This man was just deliberately not letting her see get the information and was going against her!
Gu Zheng sneered. “Song Shiyu is my assistant. What’s wrong with him helping me look up information about Li City University?”
Qiao Xi choked on her rage. “But you’re my husband.”
Her words were growing less and less confident. When the last word was said, the car fell silent.
A moment later, Gu Zheng chuckled. His gaze was indifferent and a little childish. “You still know that I’m your husband, huh?”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, Gu Zheng continued slowly, “You keep calling me Gu Zheng. People who don’t know might even think I’m your enemy.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Had she not always called him Gu Zheng? Did he think that it was too disrespectful for her to call him by his full name? Did he have to call him President Gu or Master Gu like the others?
Qiao Xi had an inexplicable feeling that if she dared to call Gu Zheng President Gu or Master Gu, this man would be even angrier. He might even throw her out of the car.
“What else can I call you if I don’t call you Gu Zheng? I’m not an employee of your company, nor am I your subordinate. There’s no need to for me to formally address you, right?” As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi’s fingers tapped on her knee. She suddenly recalled how some women addressed Gu Zheng…
“Brother Gu Zheng?”
Qiao Xi spoke, her throat getting tight. After calling out to him, she could not take it anymore and shuddered. When she looked at Gu Zheng, her entire body stiffened.
The atmosphere in the car gradually became strange. In the end, it was Qiao Xi who cleared her throat and wanted to say something to break the awkward atmosphere. However, before she could say anything, she heard Gu Zheng say in a hoarse voice, “Say it again.”
Qiao Xi: “??”
She was stunned for a long time and clearly found it hard to react. Gu Zheng turned to look at her and she subconsciously said, “… Brother Gu Zheng?”
“Say it in a gentler tone.”
Qiao Xi finally came back to her senses and called out again, “Brother Gu Zheng?”
“Yes.” Gu Zheng suddenly felt his throat itch.
Qiao Xi was stunned. She did not expect that Gu Zheng would actually like such mushy things! Her eyes shifted as she gulped. “Brother Gu Zheng, I want to see information about Li City University, can I?”
“…”
Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He tugged at his tie and looked away. “I’ll arrange it for you tomorrow.”
Qiao Xi stared at Gu Zheng’s slightly pink ears as if she had just discovered something new. Did this man really like this sort of behavior? Was he shy right now?
“Brother Gu Zheng…” After a pause, Qiao Xi finished her lines with much difficulty. “Can you let me kiss you?”
Recently, Gu Zheng had been throwing a tantrum. She had not tasted the delicious flavors of food for a long time and her mouth was always bitter. Now that she had finally discovered Gu Zheng’s weakness, she naturally had to take this opportunity to seek some benefits for herself.
Gu Zheng’s heart itched from her calling him that, and his voice became a little hoarse. “Okay.”
Qiao Xi: “!”
He actually agreed?! He agreed so easily?!
If she had known that calling him ‘Brother Gu Zheng’ was such a powerful move, she would have called him that a long time ago!
Qiao Xi quickly kissed the corner of his lips, then took out the mint candy from her backpack. The cool sweetness spread in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes and collapsed on the seat while licking her lips in satisfaction.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the villa. Qiao Xi was about to open the car door when she suddenly heard a clear and sweet female voice coming from the entrance of the villa.
“Brother Gu Zheng, Aunt and I are here to see you!”
Qiao Xi: “…”
No wonder Gu Zheng liked it when she called him Brother Gu Zheng. He was already used to it and had another woman who called him that! Thinking about this, she glanced at Gu Zheng, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. He was seemingly thinking about something.. She snorted and got out of the car.
