My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 93: 93: The Hint He Gave_1

“Studying abroad presents you with better prospects. Why did you decide not to go?”

Ye Mengyan looked at me and smiled,

“I’ve thought about it. Currently, Big Brother Gu is all alone. If I also leave you, there will be no one by your side. If something were to happen to you, I won’t be able to take care of you in time.”

“I don’t need your care! Just take care of yourself.”

“Big Brother Gu, you are human too. You need someone to take care of you.”

Ye Mengyan was obviously starting to grow clingy.

“It’s okay, don’t I still have Xiaoyun?”

He suddenly changed the subject back to me.

Ye Mengyan was finally getting a bit anxious,

“Xiaoyun is not your family, she’s just your employee!”

Her words finally revealed her innermost feelings.

She was probably becoming wary of me being around Gu Yuanzhou.

“Enough, the matter of studying abroad is not up for debate. Everything is already arranged, it cannot be changed.”

These were Gu Yuanzhou’s words as he stood up. He was very assertive, not leaving any room for Ye Mengyan to change her mind.

Ye Mengyan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked very aggrieved.

Gu Yuanzhou paid no attention to her and turned to head upstairs.

I nonchalantly finished my breakfast.

While Ye Mengyan began to cry quietly on the couch.

She cried very sadly.

It felt as if someone very important to her had died.

I looked at her, and was about to get up when my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Shen Yishu.

“Little Shen, what’s up?”

“I’ve discovered a new clue! I think this case can make progress.”

“What clue… that Little Juanmao from the other day might be lying!”

“Where is he now?”

“I saw someone tailing him. Those two individuals were wearing sunglasses and didn’t look like good people at all. I suspect they want to silence him by killing him.”

Shen Yishu’s words didn’t alarm me.

In my mind, Little Juanmao was the type to frequent nightclubs, a small-time thug who engaged in shady dealings.

Being followed or even getting into fights with his peers was nothing new to him.

Suddenly, I remembered that a few days ago Gu Yuanzhou had contacted Ayu to take care of someone.

That person likely was Shen Yishu.

I came back to my senses,

“Little Shen, maybe… you should drop this today, and take care of yourself.”

Instead of taking this to heart, Shen Yishu brushed it off,

“Don’t worry about me, who dares to harm me when I’m young and vigorous?”

I couldn’t be too explicit, so I gave him a suggestion in a roundabout way,

“You’ve been persistently pursuing some people and wanting to report on them. Aren’t you afraid they might retaliate, harm you?”

Shen Yishu responded with a dismissive laugh,

“Let them come forward if they have the guts. If they dare to kill me, they’re truly courageous.”

“Sigh! Sometimes you need to take advice from friends seriously. Understand?”

I chose not to say anything too candid.

Being too straightforward might trigger Shen Yishu, who had a rebellious nature, to confront Gu Yuanzhou directly, which would mean big trouble for me.

With patience, I was advising him indirectly, but unfortunately, Shen Yishu had the arrogance of an educated man and the bravado of a new-born calf facing a tiger.

Moreover, he might want to prove something to Ye Mengyan. In the end, he didn’t heed my advice.

Feeling helpless, I ended the call and turned around to find Ye Mengyan in a daze.

She wasn’t crying anymore, but looked at me curiously, “Was your call with Shen Yishu?”

“Yes!”

“You mentioned that he’s in danger, right? Is someone trying to harm him?”

Her words were tinted with a hint of worry.

I gave her a bland look,

“If you still care about him, and have any feelings left for him, try to persuade him not to act foolishly. Otherwise, he will not even know how he died.”

Ye Mengyan was frightened and widened her eyes.

She was smart and would have grasped the meaning behind my words.

Subsequently, she hurried out the door.

When Gu Yuanzhou came downstairs, Ye Mengyan had already left.

He handed me the documents, “You’re driving!”

I was a bit taken aback.

Gu Yuanzhou is a man of deep mistrust, he rarely lets others take control of driving, an act of entrusting one’s life into another’s hands.

But now he suddenly let me drive, which caught me off guard.

I thought back to the scene from last night when I was preparing to drug him, had he seen it?

“Why are you not moving?”

He handed me the car keys.

“Uh, President Gu, do you need me to call the driver over?”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much, but got straight into the passenger’s seat.

“You’ll be driving for now!”

He buckled his seat belt, his tone commanding.

I moved to the driver’s seat, adjusting the seat to my usual position, placing my bag aside, pulling out my phone to set up the navigation, and setting it in front….

Turning my head, I noticed Gu Yuanzhou was staring at me, his gaze deep.

“What’s wrong? Am I not doing it right?”

Only then Gu Yuanzhou said,

“The car has a built-in navigation system!”

“Oh, I feel safer having both on. As you know, sometimes the navigation isn’t accurate and might lead me into a ditch.”

He looked at me as if in deep thought, nodding in agreement.

Once the car started moving, he began flipping through the documents, occasionally taking a call.

The trip from Maple Mansion to Zhenyi Company takes nearly half an hour. Traffic was light during the first half, so I drove quickly.

As we entered the downtown area, I significantly slowed down the car.

“Stop at the shopping center up ahead!”

“Okay!”

Up ahead was the Mac Tyron Shopping Plaza, a place where I used to frequently take the children shopping.

It had a large parking lot, and a free children’s playground nearby which the two kids loved to play at.

So, nearly every weekend, I would come here….

I was actually quite scared to look back on the past, because reliving those scenes made me feel terrible inside.

Now, I can’t stand to hear other kids call out for their mother.

Each time I hear it, my heart aches like I’ve been pricked by a needle.

But given Gu Yuanzhou’s request, I had no choice but to comply.

When I turned into the parking lot, I reminded him,

“President Gu, you have a meeting at nine. How about this, you tell me what you want, and I can just go buy it for you.”

“Reschedule it!”

He refused without any hesitation.

This made me wonder, what did he want to buy that was even more important than a meeting?

However, since he wasn’t willing to share, I couldn’t inquire further.

After turning into the parking lot, I found only one parking spot left, and it was in the middle.

My driving skills are pretty poor, especially when it comes to reversing.

After going back and forth for over ten minutes without being able to park, I nearly scraped the car next to us.

When I was sweating profusely, Gu Yuanzhou stopped me, “Let me do it!”

“I’m sorry, my unskilled driving has let you down.”

Without a word, he swapped places with me and within a second, perfectly parked the car…

The move was smooth and without any unnecessary motions.

If it were in the past, our daughter would certainly have applauded from the backseat, praising her dad for being awesome.

For a moment, a shred of pain blossomed in my heart.

When I snapped out of it, Gu Yuanzhou had already unbuckled his seatbelt and gotten out of the car.

He knocked on the window,

“Why are you still not getting out?”

Only then did I regain my senses and exited the car.

The shopping center was huge, Gu Yuanzhou walked ahead, seeming to know exactly where he was going.

By the time I caught up with him, he was already carrying a bag of items and heading out.

“Let’s go, pay the bill!”

I glanced at the items in his hand and found it hard to believe,

“President Gu, did you come all this way just to buy this?”
