“Gu Yanche? Gu Xiaoche? Gu Cheche?”
Lin Zheng had gone on for quite a while without hearing a response from Gu Yanche.
She was puzzled.
Could he not have heard what I just said?
Normally, no man would be able to tolerate a woman talking to him like this. Gu Yanche should have snapped back or simply hung up!
Lin Zheng: “Brother Gu? Brother Gu? Hubby? Darling? Honey?”
Gu Yanche: “Ahem. I’m here.”
Lin Zheng was speechless.
“If you’re here, why aren’t you saying anything? I thought you’d gone mute!”
“Gu Yanche, are you messing with me?”
“I’m your girlfriend, not some female monkey you hired to perform tricks on the street!”
What was even more infuriating was that she seemed to hear a very faint muffled laugh from him.
Lin Zheng: “…”
Holy crap! He’s actually laughing at me!
How dare he!
He didn’t take her dignity seriously at all!
“Gu Yanche! If you laugh again, I’ll punch your head all the way to Antarctica!”
“I’ll punch you right out of Earth! Right out of the Milky Way!”
“Did you hear me?”
Gu Yanche’s voice was low, as though he were holding back his laughter.
“I heard you.”
Lin Zheng fell silent.
She really fell silent.
Silence is tonight’s monkey.
Shouldn’t he have gotten angry and hung up?
Why was he acting like a little henpecked husband?
She couldn’t understand it.
She was utterly baffled and completely at a loss for words!
When Lin Zheng didn’t say anything, the two of them remained quietly connected on the phone for more than ten seconds.
Gu Yanche spoke first.
“There are more male colleagues than female colleagues at the company.”
Lin Zheng: Why are you explaining? Say something back! You coward!
Gu Yanche: “I was testing a drone with a colleague just now.”
Lin Zheng: “…”
Gu Yanche: “He’s a man.”
Lin Zheng: “…”
Gu Yanche: “He’s married.”
Lin Zheng: “!”
She had nothing left to say.
Gu Yanche simply refused to follow common sense!
“Fine, fine, I understand!”
Gu Yanche stared at the screen after the call was disconnected and frowned.
He had already explained himself, yet she still seemed angry.
The colleague who had heard the entire conversation was stunned.
“Holy crap! Brother Gu really loves his girlfriend!”
Everyone at the company knew Gu Yanche’s temper was worse than a rotten egg.
This was the first time anyone had heard him speak to someone in such a gentle tone.
The colleague was shocked.
And, naturally, curious.
He quickly spread the news in their small group chat.
“Gu Yanche is madly in love with his girlfriend?”
“Wasn’t his girlfriend supposed to be really timid?”
“You’re making that up, right? I’ve been at the company this long and I’ve never even seen his girlfriend!”
“I think so too. He’s so handsome, he must be picky. There’s no way he has a girlfriend yet!”
Da’an Technology had more male employees than female employees, but there were women too.
Especially as technology advanced, drones became an increasingly promising industry, and more women entered the field.
Feng Jia confidently said, “Gu Yanche doesn’t have a girlfriend! He’s been with the company for quite some time, and no one has ever seen him call another woman.”
How could those women possibly be worthy of Gu Yanche?
“Holy crap! Everyone, check the group chat! Gu Yanche has a girlfriend!”
“He’s totally henpecked!”
“Oh my God, is his girlfriend really that unreasonable?”
Feng Jia’s expression darkened.
“What girlfriend? It’s probably fake!”
She picked up her phone and opened the group chat.
Cao Rui:
[Brother Gu’s girlfriend really loves him, and he loves his girlfriend so much too!]
[I heard him talking to his girlfriend on the phone…]
[Brother Gu didn’t even get angry. That’s definitely true love!]
[I’m shipping them!]
Feng Jia:
[You’ll hurt yourself if you ship everything you see!]
Cao Rui:
[?]
Feng Jia stopped responding to Cao Rui.
She exited the chat and opened her friend requests.
Gu Yanche still hadn’t accepted her request!
Damn it.
Could Gu Yanche really be afraid of that girlfriend of his?
She must constantly check up on him and forbid him from adding other women!
Men loved their freedom.
With a girlfriend who was this controlling, Gu Yanche would eventually get fed up and break up with her!
The Rental Apartment
In the bedroom, Lin Zheng was wriggling around on the bed.
“Damn you, Gu Yanche! Why didn’t he get angry? That’s not right!”
The system analyzed the situation.
System: [Host, he definitely got angry! Think about it. He has amnesia right now and nowhere else to go. Even if he’s angry, what can he do? He can only endure it!]
Lin Zheng: “That makes sense!”
She sat cross-legged on the bed.
“It must be because my controlling tendencies aren’t strong enough. He can still handle them for now!”
“From now on, I’ll turn up the control. I’ll let him experience what suffocation feels like!”
She let out an evil villainous cackle.
System: [Host’s laugh is so villainous! As expected, Host is the best! The male lead will eventually be unable to stand it!]
Lin Zheng set an alarm.
“Gu Xiaoche, just wait! I’ll suffocate you again in an hour!”
The system’s childish voice chimed in.
System: [Hehehe!]
Lin Zheng: “Hahahaha!”
She jumped up.
“Come on, let’s go out and have fun! Let’s go shopping!”
System: “Go, go, go!”
“This is delicious!”
“This one is delicious too!”
“Yummy!”
Lin Zheng looked at the little fat bird’s belly again.
“System, you’ve eaten so much. Isn’t your stomach going to explode?”
System: [Nope! There’s enough room in my little bird belly to sail a boat!]
System: [Don’t underestimate me!]
Lin Zheng ate her jianbing guozi.
“I’m not underestimating you. I’m keeping my eyes wide open and watching you!”
“But remember, every yuan you spend now means you’ll have to pay me back five yuan later!”
System: [I remember, I remember! The Main System said that as long as I complete the missions, I’ll get a huge bonus!]
One person and one system walked along while eating until they couldn’t eat anymore.
Even the system was stuffed.
They found a milk tea shop and leisurely drank their drinks while resting.
Gu Yanche didn’t have a moment to rest that entire morning.
He was busy the whole time.
The new drone wasn’t agile enough, so it still needed further adjustments.
Feng Jia came over.
“Brother Gu, what’s wrong with this drone? I’ve seen you guys working on it for ages. Why don’t I help too?”
Gu Yanche calmly moved farther away.
“You don’t know how.”
Feng Jia hadn’t expected him to be so blunt.
She was such a beautiful woman. She refused to believe he wasn’t even slightly attracted to her!
Could his girlfriend really be prettier than her?
Feng Jia softened her voice.
“Brother Gu, isn’t your girlfriend a little too stingy? If I were your girlfriend, I wouldn’t be like that. I think if I could have a boyfriend like you, I’d be happy even in my dreams.”
Cao Rui: Holy crap! Does Feng Jia think I’m invisible? She’s openly seducing a man who has a girlfriend!
Shameless.
Gu Yanche’s tone turned cold.
“If you’re sick, go get treated. Don’t disturb me while I’m working.”
Feng Jia’s face turned pale, then green.
How could he say something like that?
It was so hurtful!
Cao Rui watched Feng Jia walk away and shook his head.
Still the same ruthless Brother Gu. He hasn’t changed at all.
Gu Yanche’s phone began vibrating again.
When he saw that it was Lin Zheng, he stepped aside to answer.
“What is it?”
Lin Zheng immediately began bombarding him over the phone.
“Gu Xiaoche, are you still alive? You haven’t been seduced away by some wild woman, have you?”
Gu Yanche: Wild woman? Lin Zheng must mean Feng Jia.
Feng Jia had already been driven away after he scolded her.
He had sent her away, so there was definitely no one else.
“No.”
Lin Zheng continued interrogating him.
“Then what about wild men? Are there lots of handsome men at your company? Gu Xiaoche, you haven’t been seduced by some wild man, have you?”
The system gave Lin Zheng a thumbs-up.
As expected of Host! She can even come up with an excuse like this!
Lin Zheng gave the system a confident look.
Upon hearing the words wild man, Gu Yanche glanced toward Cao Rui.
Their entire team consisted of men, not just Cao Rui.
When Lin Zheng didn’t hear his answer, she raised her voice.
“Good for you, Gu Yanche! You’re actually hanging around with those indecent wild men!”
“You’re not clean anymore! I can’t have you!”
“Go back to primitive society and be a gorilla!”
“Pair up with your female gorilla and stay together forever!”
“I wish you twelve babies a year!”
“And I hope you get your period every single week!”
