Chapter 148/149: One in a Million Wealthy Boss

Chen Yu said, "She met you first; I accept that. But Mr. Gu, treat Xiao Qian well. In this era of easy divorce, if you're not good to Xiao Qian, I won't hesitate to take her away."

Gu Qichen calmly replied, "You won't get that chance. Our marriage is harmonious, and we're expecting a child."

Xia Yangyang's face flushed. What nonsense was Gu Qichen talking about?

Gu Qichen pulled her close, hugged her shoulders, turned to Chen Yu, smiled, and said, "Wife, isn't that right?"

Goosebumps erupted on Xia Yangyang's arms at the word "wife." Gu Qichen's warm smile sent a chill down her spine. She could only nod in confusion. He affectionately stroked her head. "Good girl," he murmured.

Chen Yu, upset by the public display of affection, could no longer bear to watch. With a heartbroken expression, he left the room.

Gu Qichen turned to Xia Yangyang. "How can I rest easy knowing you're acting with a man who covets my wife every day?"

Xia Yangyang laughed. "Well, Chen Yu is handsome and popular." Seeing Gu Qichen's frown deepen, she quickly added, "But you're richer. As they say, beauty is common, but the wealth of a tycoon is rare."

The rest of Gu Qichen's face darkened.

As Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen left the set, envious eyes followed them. On the first day of filming, Mr. Gu had brazenly flaunted their relationship, his assistant even handing out red envelopes. Xia Yangyang, however, remained oblivious, sitting in the passenger seat like a schoolgirl, nervous. Even though she'd visited the Gu family before, this felt different.

"Will your father and sister like me?" she worried. "Should I dress up? I forgot to bring a gift!"

Gu Qichen, one hand on the wheel, held hers. The warmth was strangely comforting.

"Don't worry," he said. "They'll like you."

"Why?"

"Because you're very cute."

Was that a compliment? Xia Yangyang's face flushed.

Meanwhile, at the Xia family home, Xia Weiwei smashed everything in her room before throwing herself on the bed and crying. She pounded the mattress in anger.

Liu Ruyan entered calmly. "You're my daughter, Liu Ruyan's daughter. Is this all you're capable of?"

Xia Weiwei, her makeup smeared, sobbed, "But she's married to Gu Qichen! I have no chance. What am I supposed to do?"

Liu Ruyan sneered. "So what if they're married? Your father married that cheap woman, Tan Zhen, but who's Mrs. Xia now, enjoying the wealth and splendor? It's still me, isn't it?"
