Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1101: Revenge (3)

Gu Shaoting looked at Xia Xiaoqiao, who appeared very frightened, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke, “If you truly feel unsafe here, I can help you find another place for you to temporarily reside. You can return here once everything settles down, alright?”

Xia Xiaoqiao’s heart stirred with secret joy; such an arrangement was more than she could ask for. However, she maintained a hesitant expression on her face, “Mr. Gu, wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?”

Gu Shaoting raised an eyebrow, “It’s no trouble. I’ll just make some arrangements. You just need to pack a few outfits you wear regularly.”

At that moment, Xia Xiaoqiao smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars, “Thank you, Mr. Gu. I don’t even know what to say to express my gratitude properly.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You are in this situation because of the corporation, and I feel terrible about it. I will handle things with CEO Wang; you just take good care of yourself,” Gu Shaoting instructed as he looked at her.

Xia Xiaoqiao nodded, her heart brimming with sweetness.

“Then pack your belongings. I will make the arrangements and have a driver pick you up,” Gu Shaoting said before getting ready to leave.

“Mr. Gu, the meal is ready; won’t you eat something before you go?” Xia Xiaoqiao asked, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

“No, thanks. I’ve planned to dine with my wife, and it’s almost time,” Gu Shaoting replied with a slight smile, explaining.

Xia Xiaoqiao’s face stiffened. Mr. Gu and his wife seemed very affectionate towards each other. Seeing his commitment to returning home right after work painted him as a good husband.

She truly envied Mrs. Gu. To be married to Mr. Gu, a man of such stature, she did not have to worry about anything but to simply enjoy life. When would she ever have such a fate?

However, her determination quickly returned. She always believed that opportunities were created by one’s effort, and hard work could change fate.

She was fortunate through misfortune now, as her proximity to Mr. Gu had closed by another step. As the old saying goes, proximity may give one an advantage.

“I must go now. Make sure you lock the door and stay safe,” Gu Shaoting instructed before turning to leave.

“Yes, I know.” Xia Xiaoqiao watched reluctantly as Gu Shaoting left; his receding figure gradually blurring before finally disappearing from her sight.

Returning home, she shut the door and sat down at the dining table, distractedly looking at the carefully prepared meal that seemed appetizing and fragrant, yet now she found herself without any appetite.

Whether a meal is delightful depends also on the company one has while eating.

She absentmindedly picked up her chopsticks and began to eat without much interest.

Yet, her thoughts were preoccupied with the recent words of Gu Shaoting. As the CEO of a major corporation, he dealt with countless matters every day, involving piles of documents. However, he took her situation to heart.

He could have easily delegated this task to someone else, but he chose not to. Instead, he personally attended to reassure her. Considering this, could it mean that she held a special place in his heart?

Uh, Miss Charlene, could you be delusional? Aren’t you thinking too much? (If Gu Shaoting found out, he probably would think so.)

With these thoughts, Xia Xiaoqiao felt happier, and the food started to taste better.

She quickly finished her meal, tidied everything up, packed her baggage, and waited for Gu Shaoting’s driver to pick her up.

Just as Gu Shaoting had left Xia Xiaoqiao’s home and she watched him go, especially with that adoring look in her eyes, all of it was observed by a figure lurking in the shadows.
