Husband Doting Wife: Emperor Gu's Shameless Perfect Bride Chapter 14
Advertisement
Gu Bojing was definitely a man of high caliber.
He brewed respect where ever he went.
But today his little wife stood up for him.
The staffs at Gu Corporation dared not look at Xiao Ai twice.
They greeted them politely and continued with their work.
When they got to the last floor, Xiao Ai asked Gu Bolin to give her the box.
Guiltily, Gu Bolin passed her the box and moved a great distance away from her.
His sister in law would really get angry.
Xiao Ai opened the box ready to flatter her husband that she had bought a lot of his favorites when she saw that the most edible of what she bought was almost gone.
She quickly shot Gu Bolin a hard glare.
The lad hid behind the sofa in his brothers office and bent low so only his head and guilty eyes were seen.
Xiao Ai was about to roast him when she remembered that she wasn't any better than him.
Thinking about what she had done to his precious house, she swallowed hard and sweetly smiled at him.
Gu Bolin seeing his sisters fake sweet smile suddenly felt his heart thumping in fear.
He jumped up and accessed her from head to toe.
She must have done something bad.
She just denied him few minutes ago and now she's about to act nice.
"Say...sister why are you smiling at me like that?" he curiously asked.
"Brother in law...dearest brother in law.." she cooed and moved forward to place her arm around his neck.
Gu Bolin shrunk backwards.
His brother glanced at him looking neutral but he could feel the threat behind those eyes.
He quickly tried to escape from Xiao Ais hold but she held him tightly and even patted his head.
"Dearest brother...look at you. You are so handsome I refuse to take my eyes off you. Dearest brother in law...why did you look scared earlier. It's okay if you eat the food after all I brought for you and my my hubby. Dearest brother in law...don't you feel that am nice today?" She flattered, continuously patting his head.
Gu Bolin who felt like a dog peered at his sister in law.
Why was he suddenly receiving special treatment?
Nice today?
She must have done something bad!
Remembering that he lent his house to his sister in law, he yanked her hands off and glared at her.
"Sister in law...don't even try to flatter me...am not giving you my property. Never. Not if I die." He stated firmly.
Xiao Ai could feel that he loved that property very much and felt even more guilty.
He had already warned her not to lay her greedy eyes on it.
"Brother what are you saying? With our relationship do I need to flatter you? You are truly handsome. So handsome I can't even look away. Brother why don't you come here and eat with us. .don't stand there.. handsome men should eat more." she persuaded.
Gu Bolin stiffly walked forward. His older brother had almost eaten half the remaining food.
Suspiciously he sat not feeling quite comfortable.
"Sister am I really that handsome?"
Xiao Ai resisted the urge to roast him and faked another smile." of course...am serious."
Gu Bolin felt better a bit thinking that she was really giving him a compliment.
Though he still doubted her intentions, he tried to calm himself down.
Gu Bojing had being ignored the minute Xiao Ai stepped into his office. He didn't complain, the one who would suffer it was Gu Bolin.

He was used to seeing her give other men compliments.
But she usually does that when she's done something bad.
Back then...she was even more heartless than this.
Back then she could date four men at the same time.
Xiao Ai unaware of the thoughts going on in his mind squatted next to him giving him a pleading look.
Gu Bojing knew she was pleading with him to corporate with her.
She just have done something to his brothers property.
As Xiao Ai sat, he noticed something behind her earrings but pretended not to see it.
Was she back to her old ways now?
"En. Bolin is so handsome we can't take our eyes off him. "
Gu Bolin coughed and coughed.
He coughed so hard the rice he ate came out through his nose.
He knew it! She's done something unspeakable!
And his brother as usual was siding with her.
Without talking, he excused himself and left hurriedly afraid that if he waited any longer he would be bullied to death.
Xiao Ai packed the box after Gu Bolin was done eating and his secretary came to get it.
The woman was young. Probably the same age as Xiao Ai and had quite the normal Asian figure.
But her face was petite giving her a unique vibe.
Unlike Xioa Ai who had a matured but beautiful face, the secretary's face was small and as white as porcelain.
Her face made her look quite innocent and meek.
Xiao Ai suddenly felt jealous. She felt like ripping that face away.
Why would someone this pretty be working with her hubby?
"Hubby, when did she start working here?" She asked sitting on his lap.
Gu Bojing knew she was feeling insecure so he pinched her nose slightly.
"She's my fourth cousin. There's no need to worry. Besides you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes."
Gu Bojing had never felt that any woman looked more perfect than Xiao Ai, but he couldn't stop her from feeling insecure.
Perhaps this was a sign that she truly cared about him.
"Hmmm...are you trying to use my flattery against me? I don't like that girl. I don't like her at all." she whined rubbing her body against him.
"To maintain the harmony in the large Gu family, there are lot of family members working in the company. Even the shareholders of our company consists of elders from the Gu household. You should know that the Gu household is very large. This kind of thing is to keep some idiots at bay. It's simply inevitable. But if you don't like her, I can fire her. But you will have to explain first about the marker running lady." Gu Bojing explained trying to corner Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai glared at him for a while.
Was he threatening her?
"Fool. Did I ask you to fire her? Don't try to negotiate with me." she fired about to leave but Gu Bojing pulled her back and placed his hands behind her ears.
Xiao Ai thought that he wanted to kiss her so she quickly shifted her face to the other side which gave Gu Bojing more acesse to get what he wanted.
He brought out a small chip from her earring and looked carefully at it.
Xiao Ai was surprised.
How did he see that?
Gu Bojing placed the chip in her hands, waiting for an explanation.
"Hahahah....hubbby, you are so smart how did you see that behind my earring?" She nervously touched her ears and looked up and down.

Something she did when she was anxious.
"Do you want to explain?" he slowly asked.
He wouldn't force her if she didn't want to explain.
But the chip looked quite important seeing that she was keeping it behind her earrings.
"Eheheeh...this is work related that I took from a patient earlier this morning. It's nothing. Nothing at all.. nothing to worry about." she quickly said placing it back behind her earrings.
"You know that if you need anything you can ask me right?" he smiled patting her lower back.
Xiao Ai smiled nervously. Swallowing hard she blurted." Am changing my family name to Mo!"
Gu Bojing tilted his head to look at her expression properly.
She had the habit of blurting out things whenever she felt nervous.
He suddenly felt like he had gone back in time.
Thankfully, she was still with the same person.
She might be a psychologist now but she still had the same attitude.
Gu Bojing chuckled lowly.
"Darling do you have the habit of blurting out things when you are nervous?"
Seeing that she had been caught. Xiao Ai tried to act normal. "Ah..what are you say? What nervous? Am just telling you?" not giving her husband any chance to interrupt, she continued." That, hubby can you help me with something?"
Xiao Ai never liked asking people for help.
When she was small, Xiao Ai was not very healthy, so everyone was constantly worried about her.
She hated feeling like a burden to people so when she grew up more she wasn't dependent on anyone and started doing things herself.
What she hated the most was to feel that she wasn't capable in a situation.
She hated the feeling of being incompetent and having to rely on others.
Gu Bojing knew this so when he saw Xiao Ai asking him for help.
He couldn't help it but his heart fluttered.
In the past no matter what happened she never asked him for help.
Did this mean she was already accepting him?
He dared not thing too much.
"En...what is that?" he carefully asked.
"Hubby you see...my pay has being cut short and Zhao Baozhai has been indefinitely suspended. It's just I feel it's unfair that she was suspended. I was thinking of helping her come back to the hospital and I heard that you are close with Madam Zhou of the disciplinary committee."
"Close? How?" Gu Bojing pressed.
"Em....that in the past before we got married she used to boast that you were by her son. Aren't you close with her? Madam Zhou is like the pillar of the committee, if she says something then it's that. I thought you were close.. "
Xiao Ai looked down at her hands still feeling a bit anxious and the hand Gu Bojing had on her back didn't help either.
"I will give you the feed back tonight."
Xiao Ai placed a kiss on his cheek but Gu Bojing wouldn't let that and directly kissed her soft clips.
Xiao Ais lips were soft and sweet. He liked nibbling on her lips because they were as soft as cotton.
Xiao Ai gripped his shoulders for support.
This wasn't the first time she was kissing this man but she always felt that it was her first kiss.
She couldn't control how hard her heart thumped and she always felt anxious.
Like an high school girl having her first kiss, Xiao Ai clumsily placed her hands around his neck and reciprocated the kiss.
Gu Bojing kissed her more fiercely as if wanting to swallow her whole.
Images of last might flashed through Xiao Ais kind and she subconsciously clenched her legs.
Gu Bojing broke free from her. There lips about a centimeter away . Her heavy breaths fanned the tip of his lips.
"Why did you wear a Jean today? It's obstructing." he complained trying to tug her blouse up but Xiao Ai held his hands.
Gu Bojing bit her lower lip but he was interrupted when his secretary abruptly came in.
Angry he shot her death looks.
Weng Xu Lou looked down felling a bit shy. She secretly glanced at Xiao Ai, a look of disdain in her eyes before she quickly covered it with a shy one.
Xiao Ai had dealt with different people in her life so she noticed the subtle change in her looks and so did Gu Bojing.
"Anything urgent?" Gu Bojing asked clearly pissed.
"Am sorry sir, the file from Mo Corporation is here." she shyly said placing the file on the table not daring to look at them.
Xiao Ai snorted. Pretending to be shy?
Who does she think she's dealing with?
Xiao Ai wasn't concerned about what the file held.
It was normal that Gu Corporation and Mo Group would have business with each other.
She stood up, straightened her blouse and intentionally took time with her buttons. She gave Gu Bojing a quick kiss and left the office.
Weng Xu Lou ignored the anger building in her as she dug her nails into her palm.
She turned around to leave but Gu Bojing stopped her.
"Weng Xu Lou you are a smart lady, don't ruin yourself." he warned his voice cold.
Weng Xu Lou without looking back nodded her head and left the room.
He was always like this.
Four years of working for him and he was still this cold...
Xiao Ai ran into Gu Bolin at the elevator. She looked away as her guilt washed over her again. She rushed forward to the elevator trying to avoid Gu Bolin but the idiot charged forward.
"Sister.. sister.. tell me the truth.....you have done something bad to me right..?"
Xiao Ai got into the elevator and pressed the button.
"What bad thing? My handsome brother in law...don't be foolish. I am innocent I haven't done anything." she denied.
"Then sister do you dare to promise me that you haven't done anything to my golden. Property?" he anxiously asked afraid that Xiao Ai had actually done something
Xiao Ai hurriedly pressed the elevator button hearing Gu Bolin mention 'gold' Suddenly made her feel like a bully.
"Hey...sister...sister..." Gu Bolin called but the elevator had already closed.
He wanted to take the other elevator and chase her but he thought that he would still see her at home tonight.
Still, he couldn't let go of the uncomfortable feeling rising in his chest.
What has she done this time?
Xiao Ai hurriedly left the building and made sure that she still Gu Bolin on her block list.
The idiot could start harassing her with phone calls.
Xiao Ai was ready to face the curses from Gu Bojings fans on net but strangely there was news about all her shameless act of the day but no news about she and Gu Bojing.
Weirdly, she felt that Gu Bojing wasn't behind this act.
Who is it that could have blocked the news from getting to public.
She had wanted everyone to know this man belonged to her but now...
A man stood on the window pane smoking. The place was dangerous but the man was more dangerous. He tilted his head to the left slightly glancing at the lady.
"Is it done?"
"Yes boss...I made sure no one would publish the news. The stubborn ones...." she paused for a while." they are gone."
He smiled bitterly and gestured for her to leave.
Hmmm...Lada beautiful days are still ahead.
In Special B restaurant, two women sat opposite each other.
One looked matured while the other looked young and arrogant.
"Why do you want to help me?" Zhao Baozhai asked staring at the other woman with suspicion.
"I don't like Xiao Ai just as you don't like her too. I feel it's unfair towards you that you have to be suspended while she's there roaming around like a free bird. Why should you let that good for nothing trample on you?"
Hearing the provoking words of the woman, Zhao Baozhai was suddenly reminded of the deep hatred she had for Xiao Ai and how Xiao Ai had made her feel like nothing.
She stared at the woman opposite her, feeling like she had just met a strong backer.
"How will you help me?"
"Not to worry. I will make sure you return to the hospital before the end of the week. After that, you just have to follow everything I say and you will satisfied with your revenge."
Zhao Baozhai smiled with an evil glint in her eyes.
If she could ruin Xiao Ai it was enough achievement for her.
Chunhua had started doubting her all because of that Xiao Ai.
Bitch!!!
She still had father behind her because from the start, father never really liked Zhao Ai.
At night, as usual Bolin cooked food and they ate quietly.
Normally Xiao Ai would have said something to anger Bolin or flatter Bojing but she did none of those.
She was suspiciously calm.
So calm Bolin couldn't help but feel that her calmness had something to do with him.
It was not until Xiao Ai returned his house keys did he feel safe.
Phew....he thought too much.
She really wasn't coveting his property.
Xiao Ai sloppily walked down with bag in her hands. She sat beside Gu Bojing and peered at Bolins expression.
Seeing that his mood seemed a bit better, she decided to swing into action.
So what?
Why should she feel nervous?
She was shameless after all and she was never ashamed to admit to it.
"Why are you staring at my brother like that? What wrong have you done this time?" Gu Bojing whispered into her ear biting the soft pink lobes slowly.
Xiao Ai shrank back to her seat.
"Be serious. I need you to corporate with me?" She whispered back.
Bolin who was immersed in the television was already planning to leave when he saw them whispering into each others ears.
At first he thought they were being lovey dovey as usual but he suddenly felt that it might have something to do with him.
His instincts were always right... most of the time.
"Brother In law...dearest brother in law... I have to something to ask you." Xiao Ai started in a high pitched fake sweet voice.
Although he wasn't seated close to them, he couldn't help but shift further away.
Swallowing hard he stared at his sister in law. His heart thumping.
He held his property keys tightly.
"Wha...wh...what...what do you want sis...?"he stammered feeling scared.
"Emmm...brother no need to be nervous. I just wanted to ask if you know any company in Saudi Arabia that can buy gold at a high price. I mean a very high price."
Phew....Bolin breath a sigh of relief.
She wasn't coveting his property.
"Yes..sister am actually very good when it comes to selling gol...." he suddenly paused as if struck by something.
He stared intently at the bag Xiao Ai was holding.
Why did that bag seem familiar?
Seeing that Gu Bolin was starting to be suspicious of her, she decided to come clean.
Bringing out the objects she placed them on the table carefully as if they were her precious gems.
Laughing awkwardly.....she glanced at Gu Bolin.
Gu Bolin abruptly stood up, his eyes red as he glared at his sister in law.
"Zhao Ai...you...how dare you..my precious babies.....you.." he roared not knowing what to say.
Xiao Ai swallowed back and shifted closer to Gu Bojing who protectively wrapped his arm around her.
Staring at the items Gu Bojing felt like an headache was coming through.
Can't she live a day without causing trouble?
Gold shining balls, gold jar, gold cup and series of gold cufflinks.
She had completely robbed his brother.
First she robbed him of his car...
Now she had graduated to stealing gold.

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line.
