The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 602 - 566

Qiao Yuxian lay on the bed, with only one eye peeking out.

She scrolled through the comments one by one.

From the constantly changing comments, she got a sense of the current events happening.

The executives of the Gu Group were fighting.

After a while, there was a strike at the Gu Group.

Following this development, soon enough, the Gu Building might just collapse.

And... the thing about Gu Yanjing being gone.

Qiao Yuxian propped herself up and turned to look to her right.

Gu Yanjing lay on his side on the bed, eyes closed, sleeping with one hand resting on her waist.

He was obviously sleeping soundly right next to her!

When Qiao Yuxian fell asleep, Gu Yanjing had come back.

She had groggily glanced at him when he came, and when Gu Yanjing finished showering and lay beside her, he had kissed her.

But she was too sleepy; she wanted to raise her hand to touch him but couldn’t lift it, and just fell asleep again.

Now Gu Yanjing was still asleep.

He’s been running nonstop lately and was exhausted.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing, gritting her teeth; she really wanted to drag out the person spreading these rumors and twist their head off!

While she was mentally tearing the rumor-monger apart, Gu Yanjing’s hand on her waist suddenly tightened, pulling her into his arms, his voice somewhat muffled and hoarse: "So fierce."

Qiao Yuxian paused for a moment and said, "Did I wake you?"

"No," Gu Yanjing said, "I couldn’t sleep anyway."

"Then you’re pretending to sleep." Qiao Yuxian gently kissed his collarbone, then leaned back slightly, looking at his face.

"I wanted to see how fierce you could get." Gu Yanjing moved closer and kissed her eyelid, "What happened? You seem angry at your phone."

When this was mentioned, Qiao Yuxian’s face fell again.

She showed her phone to Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing glanced at it roughly, then pinched Qiao Yuxian’s cheek: "Getting angry over this?"

"Very angry," Qiao Yuxian said, "Don’t they have any limits on making up rumors?! I really want to sew their mouths shut one by one."

Gu Yanjing stroked her face: "Just clear things up."

"It’s obviously Gu Linhai’s doing," Qiao Yuxian said, "Since the photos of the buried bodies on the Gu Group’s land disappeared, he decided to target you, creating chaos for the Gu Group."

Gu Linhai couldn’t find any trace of Gu Yanjing.

But with Gu Yanjing being absent from the Gu Group for so long and not showing up for meetings, he was bound to find out.

He could easily know by casually chatting with the old hands and top executives at Gu Group.

So he took advantage of Gu Yanjing’s absence from the company to stir up chaos.

Leaderless.

Especially such a big company.

All this public uproar.

No matter what, it would have an impact.

The leadership might be okay, but what about the people below? What about the people in the subsidiaries?

From the spread of rumors to the clarification of this incident, it could completely become chaotic.

"Is your phone on silent? Things have blown up, and no one’s called you." Qiao Yuxian said.

"It’s not on silent. Lately, they contact Shang Chen if there’s anything. He’d pass the message to me," Gu Yanjing said.

Gu Yanjing’s been too busy lately, with little time to rest. They were worried about disturbing his rest.

So Shang Chen instructed everyone to call him instead.

He would wait for Gu Yanjing to rest properly before reporting less urgent issues to him.

"It’s fine," Gu Yanjing said, stroking Qiao Yuxian’s hair, "I already briefed Su Qi, and the company leadership is in the loop. There are all sorts of contingency plans. The Gu Group will be alright."

"That’s good," Qiao Yuxian said, "The rest just needs some clarification."

"Mm," Gu Yanjing responded, then picked up his phone, intending to contact Su Qi.

Before he could find Su Qi’s number,

Qiao Yuxian pressed down on Gu Yanjing’s hand: "Let me do it."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I’ll handle the clarification."

"Alright," Gu Yanjing said, "I’ll call Su Qi and check on the situation."

"Mm," Qiao Yuxian lay flat on the bed and opened her Weibo.

Gu Yanjing got off the bed and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to make a call.

Listening to him on the phone, Qiao Yuxian looked at her Weibo, thinking about what to post.

After thinking for a bit, she turned her head to look at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing loungewear. His figure was tall and slender, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long straight legs, perfectly proportioned.

Standing in the light, it seemed as though he was surrounded by a layer of light, shining brilliantly.

The loose and soft loungewear softened his stern demeanor a bit.

Perhaps because the loungewear was somewhat thin, it outlined the muscles on his back.

Full of strength, yet not exaggerated, just right.

Beautiful without losing power.

Qiao Yuxian stared for a while, then picked up her phone and took a few photos.

After taking them, she first set one as the background for the chat.

Another as the incoming call wallpaper.

Two others, she posted on Weibo.

The caption was: [Woke up from a nap. Opened my phone and got angry. But thankfully, there’s some eye candy nearby, and my mood instantly improved @Gu just letting you know, I secretly took pics of you.]

She calculated the time; at this point, it should be afternoon back home.

Gu Yanjing’s call didn’t last long.

After the call, he checked the messages on his phone.

Then he shared Qiao Yuxian’s Weibo post.

[@StealthyFlower No need for sneaky pics next time. Wife is the most beautiful. And all is well.]

After he shared it, Qiao Yuxian’s phone rang.

She smiled a bit when she saw it, then commented: [Glad you know.]

After the comment, there was some activity from Lin Huai Shu too, who also posted on Weibo.

She clicked in to see.

Shuai Lin: [Neither of you is as handsome as me @StealthyFlower @Gu]

Below was a picture of his handsome face.

Qiao Yuxian commented under this post: [The photo does not match reality.]

Shuai Lin: [What doesn’t match?]

Qiao Yuxian said: [The vibe doesn’t match.]

While the two chatted.

[Qiao Yuxian responds.] [Gu Yanjing responds.] [Lin Huai Shu responds.] These three terms quickly trended.

The number of comments was huge.

Under Gu Yanjing’s Weibo, apart from Qiao Yuxian’s reply, there was still no sound.

Everyone moved to other places to chat.

[I knew it! Mr. Gu definitely has nothing wrong! This must be a rumor!]

[I knew it! Their relationship is really good! They even nap together during lunch break!]

Suddenly appearing Shuai Lin: [The term ’couple snuggle’ is used very well.]

[With photos for proof. Look at the bottom of the picture; that’s by the bed. Qiao Yuxian is on the bed, taking the back shot.]

[Normally, on a workday, Mr. Gu shouldn’t be napping this long. So... what extended Mr. Gu’s nap time?]

[Probably a captivating enchantress. With a surname like Qiao.]

[This photo is obviously fake, made for PR.]

[You’re fake, your whole family’s fake, everything you see is fake; you’re a dark-hearted person!]

[Who is so despicable to make up such rumors? They should be cursed a thousand times.]

[They even said the Gu Group was fighting. We’ve been squatting in front of the Gu Building for so long and haven’t seen anyone come out. Not even a tidbit was dug up. Feels like the rival company is playing tricks on us.]

[Today’s another day admiring Mr. Gu’s physique.]
