Chapter 36 Tell The Truth

The evidence was about to be taken out, so how could they not be honest?

"Last night, I was suddenly hungry in the middle of the night, so I ordered takeout," Su Qinglan explained.

"Yes." Gu Jinchi waited for her to continue.

Su Qinglan secretly glanced at him and continued, "Then when I ate, Yize also came out to say that he was hungry, so I let him eat a little too."

It was more than little. Su Qinglan thought Gu Yize had eaten more than half of the fried chicken yesterday.

At this time, Gu Yize did not insist on not lying at all. He nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes, I see that there is still the rest. We can't waste food. I must eat."

Just as they were waiting for the verdict, Gu Jinchi's phone suddenly rang.

He said, "Both of you are not allowed to eat takeout for a month." Then he turned to answer the phone.

As soon as he left, Su Qinglan heard Gu Yize's painful cry beside her. "Ah, I am so sad, my hamburger."

Su Qinglan turned around, stared at him, and asked with dissatisfaction, "Is it that I can't eat up and want you to eat? Huh?"

"No, no, mommy. Daddy won't be angry with you. Can you help me take responsibility?" Gu Yize asked fawningly.

Su Qinglan said, "To tell the truth is a good child."

Gu Yize was afraid that she would tell the truth to Gu Jinchi, so he pulled Su Qinglan and said, "Mommy, you know me, I have no status. Can you bear to see me being punished?"

Looking at Gu Yize's cute and handsome little face staring at her pitifully, Su Qinglan was in a moment of weakness.

After a while, she compromised in her son's act of coquetry, "Alright, never again," she said.

"Yeah! Mommy is the best!" Gu Yize shouted excitedly.

Su Qinglan looked at him lovingly and shook her head helplessly.

Because Gu Yize was sick, Su Qinglan and Gu Jinchi did not go to work for the whole morning.

After the family went out for a meal, Gu Jinchi forcefully sent Gu Yize, who wanted to rest at home, to school.

Su Qinglan sat in the car and watched Gu Yize slowly walk towards the school. She said with heartache, "He is sick. Why do you force him to go to school?"

"This is a punishment." Gu Jinchi looked at her calmly.

Su Qinglan immediately shut her mouth. She had done something wrong and did not dare to continue speaking.

When they arrived at the company, Su Qinglan noticed that the gaze that fell on them was obvious.

In the elevator, she looked at the reflective wall, made sure there was nothing wrong, and then relaxed.

"Assistant Su, there will be a meeting in half an hour," the assistant said as soon as she arrived at the office.

Su Qinglan nodded and quickly sorted out the things needed for the meeting.

In the conference room, Su Qinglan sat next to Gu Jinchi. She stared at the documents in front of her and moved uneasily.

Why did she always feel that everyone's gaze was on her?

Su Qinglan pretended to take out her phone inadvertently and secretly looked at it as a mirror. After making sure that there was nothing on her face, she put down the phone.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the employees staring at her. After meeting her gaze, they all lowered their heads.

Su Qinglan could not sit calmly. Why was everyone looking at her?

While everyone was discussing, Su Qinglan leaned to the side and asked Gu Jinchi, "Well, am I looking very strange today?"

"No, very good." Gu Jinchi smiled at her.

"Then why do I feel like everyone is staring at me?" Su Qinglan asked doubtfully.

Gu Jinchi's gaze lingered on her face, and he said earnestly, "Maybe it's because you look beautiful."

Su Qinglan felt that he was joking with her, but she couldn't help but laugh.

She tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened and continued with the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Gu Jinchi took the lead and left.

"Send all the documents to my email later," Su Qinglan said as she packed up her things.

The assistant held back his laughter and nodded. He lowered his head to hide his expression.

Su Qinglan frowned and gently put the document in her hand, indicating for the assistant to sit down.

"Tell me, what are you laughing about today?" Su Qinglan asked.

"Assistant Su, no, I'm not laughing," the assistant shook his head.

"Am I wrong?" Su Qinglan asked sullenly as she placed the phone in front of the assistant.

"I think you should look yourself," said the assistant as he carefully pushed her phone.

"What do you mean?" Su Qinglan asked doubtfully.

"Well, the mark on your neck is quite obvious," The assistant said awkwardly.

Su Qinglan's gaze immediately fell on her neck, and a few red marks suddenly appeared on her fair and slender neck. At first glance, it was very easy to imagine.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and wipe them with her fingers.

The assistant beside her added, "We don't have any evil intentions. We just feel a little..."

After Su Qinglan wiped her neck, it was only red, but the traces did not be erased.

She couldn't listen to the words around her at all. As long as she thought about how she had been wandering outside with such traces all day long, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

No wonder the staff was so awkward. Everyone would think too much.

In addition, Su Qinglan and Gu Jinchi did not come to the company the whole morning, which simply certified the traces on her neck.

Thinking of this, Su Qinglan quickly held the document in her arms and returned to the office.

Gu Jinchi's office was tightly shut, and she could vaguely hear the phone call inside. She hesitated and decided to knock on the door.

Rat-a-tat.

"Come in," Gu Jinchi said.

Su Qinglan entered and sat directly opposite Gu Jinchi.

Gu Jinchi, dressing in a high-set suit, leaned lazily on the chair. His eyes always followed her.

Su Qinglan originally came in to blame him but suddenly did not know what to say.

Why was it suddenly so awkward?

"What's the matter?" Gu Jinchi asked softly.

Su Qinglan nodded and cleared her throat to get rid of the awkwardness. "Do you know why everyone is looking at me?" She asked seriously.

"Yes." Gu Jinchi nodded solemnly.

"Then why didn't you explain?" Su Qinglan asked.

"Why should I explain? Your current identity is Mrs. Gu," Gu Jinchi said calmly.

Su Qinglan was speechless and swallowed all her words.

She silently went out and found a silk scarf to wear, covering her neck to deceive herself.

Her cell phone suddenly lit up. She looked at the photo and laughed.

Su Qinglan stared at the photo of Su Cheng, kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment. She felt that the depression just now was swept away.

As expected, Yan Family couldn't stand being a cuckold.

Su Qinglan had asked people to keep an eye on Su Cheng. As long as there was any news, he would report it.

She also indirectly knew how miserable Su Cheng was now. Yan Yibai was now full of doubts about her and did not refuse to go on blind dates with others.

After work, Su Qinglan and Gu Jinchi went to school to pick up Gu Yize as usual.

In the car, she was keenly aware that Gu Jinchi was not in a good state today, as if he was in a bad mood.

She secretly observed Gu Jinchi's face from the rearview mirror. His lips were tightly pursed, and he stared straight ahead. His body revealed an aura of anger and annoyance.

After hesitating, Su Qinglan did not know if she should take the initiative to ask. Perhaps he was just in a bad mood today?

After half the journey, Su Qinglan still felt that she couldn't pretend that she didn't see anything.

Because Gu Jinchi's current expression was the same as Gu Yize's usually angry and tsundere look, and even looked more severe.

She could even see a few big words on Gu Jinchi's head, "Come and coax me."

"Ahem," Su Qinglan coughed to attract his attention.

However, Gu Jinchi did not move, as if he had not heard anything.

Su Qinglan secretly complained. Sure enough, the father and son had the same attitude when they were angry.

"Mr. Gu!" Su Qinglan shouted.

Only then did Gu Jinchi turn to stare at her, "What is the matter?"

Su Qinglan pointed at his face. "Did I offend you today? Why do you look so unhappy?"

He was fine when he came out of the company, but he had become so angry in just a moment.

It made her feel as if it was an illusion.

"Don't you know?" Gu Jinchi asked, staring at her with a sparkling gaze.

Su Qinglan widened her eyes. Was it really her matter?

"What's wrong with me?" She was slightly at a loss. She carefully and quickly went through today's work again and made sure there were no mistakes.

"Hah," Gu Jinchi ambiguously sighed.

Su Qinglan felt that his attitude was more and more inexplicable. She also began to get angry.

Gu Jinchi suddenly got angry at her for no reason, so she felt innocent.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became cold.

When Gu Yize got into the car with his little bag on his back, Su Qinglan took his bag and asked gently, "Did you have a good time today?"

Gu Yize smiled and nodded. "I am happy, mommy. My teacher praised me today. Shouldn't you give me some rewards?"

Su Qinglan looked at Gu Yize, who showed his desire with his eyes. She rubbed his face lovingly and agreed, "Good boy. Okay. What do you want? Mommy will give it to you."

"Mommy, you are so good." Gu Yize hugged Su Qinglan's waist happily.

When Su Qinglan and Gu Yize returned home, Aunty Wang had already prepared dinner.

At the dining table, Su Qinglan had been concerned about Gu Yize the entire time. She turned a blind eye to Gu Jinchi who was sitting beside her.

Because she was in a bad mood, she secretly went against Gu Jinchi.

Seeing that Gu Jinchi's chopsticks were about to fall on the braised pork in front of her, Su Qinglan quickly picked it up and affectionately placed it in Gu Yize's bowl.

"Baby, eat more meat and grow up," Su Qinglan said.

Gu Jinchi looked at her thoughtfully. Su Qinglan raised her eyebrows provocatively.

When she saw that Gu Jinchi was about to move his chopsticks the next time, she took the initiative to pick up the vegetables and said, "Baby, eat more vegetables. It's good for your health."

The pitiful Little President Gu didn't even have the time to pick up the food personally. His bowl was full of food picked by Su Qinglan who cared about her son.

Su Qinglan did not notice it at all. Only when she placed food in Gu Yize's bowl again but fell on the table did she realize her childish behavior.

Gu Yize stood up with his small belly and slammed the bowl on the table.

His big eyes stared at the two childish people and his mouth pouted, "Can you two still have a good meal? I'm full."

Su Qinglan quickly put down her chopsticks and reached out to rub his stomach. "I'm sorry."

"Hmph, take your time to eat, I won't eat anymore." Gu Yize proudly turned around and left.

Su Qinglan stared at the full bowl of dishes and blamed problems on Gu Jinchi.

"It's all your fault," Su Qinglan said.

"Didn't you do it?" Gu Jinchi asked casually.
