Chapter 88: Lie

  All along the way, Lin Yueer was nervous and kept glancing at Gu Xi Cen, really shocked by his appearance just now.

  But at this moment, he was calm and composed, as if the person who had just swung his fist was not him, or perhaps he was already used to such things.

  He got into the car and drove away, without caring if the people behind him would report to the police. Compared to that man's shouting, this arrogant attitude was really eye-catching.

  Lin Yueer fastened her seatbelt around herself, accidentally touching her shoulder and letting out a soft cry of pain as she furrowed her brow.

  Gu Xi Cen turned around and saw the bruise on his face, suddenly raising an eyebrow, "Just bumped into it?"

  Lin Yue'er responded vaguely and didn't think much of it.

  Gu Xi Cen slowly raised an eyebrow, "All of you have been bullied back home, why didn't any of you say anything?"

  He's not a good person to reason with, on the contrary, whenever he encounters trouble, he's too lazy to care. But just now, seeing those two yelling at her, he inexplicably got angry. Not to mention his own thoughts, in any case, Lin Yue'er is still his elder sister-in-law, and no one can be so arrogant towards a member of the Gu family!

  "What's the point of saying anything? Do I have to be like them, arguing loudly and losing my dignity? Besides, that woman is pregnant, with a big belly, what if she gets hurt and something happens to the baby?" Lin Yue'er had her own way of thinking, she was never one to enjoy competing or winning arguments. If she could tolerate it for a moment, then everything would be calm and peaceful, why bother wasting time getting angry? It's better to calm down and focus on doing things she liked.

  Gu Xi Cen glanced at her, "She's pregnant, what if you're not? What if they hurt you?"

  Lin Yue'er smiled and said, "Isn't there?"

  "How do you explain the wound on your body?"

  The more she retreated and didn't care, the uglier Gu Xi Cen's face became.

  "It's just a slight collision, nothing serious." Lin Yue'er smiled casually.

  Gu Xi Cen furrowed her brow and didn't speak again for the rest of the way.

  As soon as the two returned home, Lin Yueer received a call from Yang Liu, "Xiao Yue, after work, I and Jiajia will go to your house to see you."

  Lin Yue'er was taken aback, "My home?"

  Beside her, Gu Xi Cen turned her head sideways.

  "Uh! You don't need to prepare dinner, we'll buy some hot pot ingredients and go to your place for hot pot tonight. When we get off work, we'll give you a call, just wait for us at the door. Oh, by the way, if there's any man at home, hurry up and hide him, I'm afraid Jiajia can't hold back."

  "Willow, I..."

  "It's settled then, the old man is calling me, see you tonight!" After that, Yang Liu directly hung up the phone.

  Lin Yue'er held her phone, her eyebrows furrowed into a line.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Xi Cen asked.

  Lin Yue'er said with a bitter face, "My colleague is coming over to my house to see me."

  Gu Xi Cen immediately understood what she was worried about, her marriage to her older brother had not been made public, and in the company, they were still both unmarried. If someone discovered that they were already married and it spread within the company, not only would her older brother be affected, but Lin Yue Er would also be held accountable.

  Luckily, Hua Yi heard that and excitedly said, "Oh, Young Master's wife, you have colleagues coming over? That's great! I'll go prepare right away and invite them to stay for dinner, let them taste my cooking skills!"

  As she spoke, Hua Yi was getting excited. She was a person who liked lively things, but the family had only a few people coming and going, except for the part-time gardener and hourly maid, so usually there was no one to talk to. Moreover, Lin Yue's temperament was warm, when she heard that she had colleagues who were friends, Hua Yi was happy for her too, saying that they must be treated well and not neglected.

  "Aunt Hua..."

  Seeing her so happy, Lin Yue'er wanted to speak up but hesitated, seeking help from Gu Xi Cen with a pleading gaze. In fact, what she feared most was not being discovered about her and Gu Wang Chuan's relationship, but rather that Lin Yue'er didn't want them to think that she was intentionally deceiving them. Any friendship couldn't be based on deception. She cherished these two friends, so naturally, she was doubly worried.

  But unexpectedly, Gu Xi Cen had a thoughtful expression on her face and didn't respond.

  "I'm going to buy vegetables now!" Aunt Hua walked quickly, and in a flash, she was gone.

  Lin Yue'er leaned weakly on the sofa, rubbing her brow. It seemed she had no choice but to confess everything to them. Zhang Jiajia wasn't a concern for her, but Yang Liu was another story - straightforward and intolerant of deceit, she valued honesty above all else.

  "Don't you want them to know?" Gu Xi Cen suddenly spoke up.

  Lin Yue'er helplessly raised her eyes, "After all, I deceived them for a whole year. It's fine that I took the initiative to tell them the truth, but if it were in this passive situation, they would really get angry."

  Gu Xi Cen nodded and stood up, "Follow me."

  "What's up?" Lin Yue'er asked curiously, but he didn't say anything and went straight upstairs.

  Lin Yue'er followed him suspiciously and saw that he went straight to her bedroom, opened the wardrobe door, and pulled out all of her clothes.

  She became even more curious, "This is..."

  "Move all your things to the guest room and lock this one up." He instructed briefly.

  Lin Yue'er blinked her eyes and suddenly understood his intention, nodding repeatedly, "Uh-huh!"

  Although they each have their own room, this is after all their marital home, and there are many of Gu Wangchuan's personal items on display, a discerning person can still see the situation at a glance.

  She wanted to go and pick up that pile of clothes, but Gu Xi Chen blocked her way. "You go and tidy up the bathroom instead." He then picked it up himself, his arm muscles inadvertently revealing themselves.

  Lin Yue'er suddenly remembered the powerful punch from earlier...

  He went to the next room, she immediately went to collect her toiletries, not many, enough to pack into a small bag, she easily carried it and put it in the guest bathroom.

  She didn't have much stuff to begin with, and it was all packed up neatly after just a few trips.

  Looking around in a circle, Lin Yue finally smiled with relief.

  Gu Xi Cen stood with her arms crossed on one side, gazing at her and said, "There's still something else to pay attention to."

  She turned back with a smile, "What?"

  "Don't call me by my full name."

  Lin Yue'er clapped her hands, "Oh right, you're also surnamed Gu."

  Yang Liu is a thoughtful and meticulous maid, and she will soon discover something!

  Gu Xi Cen didn't respond, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Then I'll call you... Xi, Xi Cen?"

  The first time he was called by his name, Lin Yueer felt a little embarrassed, but Gu Xi Cen didn't react and turned to leave. It wasn't until they walked out the door that the corners of his mouth slightly curled up...
