The next morning, Li Xinyue arrived at the Li Group as usual.
She expected another ordinary day.
But before she could enter her office, Chen Wei approached her with a serious expression.
“Miss Li.”
“What happened?”
“There are reporters outside.”
Li Xinyue frowned.
“Reporters?”
Chen Wei nodded.
“They are asking about your marriage with General Gu.”
Her expression became calm.
She immediately understood.
Another attack.
But this time, the target was not only her.
It was her relationship with Gu Zhen.
Outside the company entrance, reporters surrounded the area.
“Miss Li, is it true that General Gu still has feelings for someone else?”
“Did you marry him only because of your family’s agreement?”
“Are you afraid of losing your husband?”
The questions became louder.
In her previous life, this kind of situation would have made her panic.
She would have cried.
She would have argued.
But now…
She walked forward calmly.
“I believe everyone has questions.”
The reporters immediately focused on her.
“But before asking about my marriage, perhaps you should ask where these rumors came from.”
She looked directly at the cameras.
“My marriage is between me and my husband.”
Her voice was confident.
“And no outsider has the right to decide what happens between us.”
The reporters became quiet.
At that moment, a black military vehicle stopped outside.
Everyone turned.
A tall figure stepped out.
The atmosphere instantly changed.
General Gu.
The legendary commander.
The man who rarely appeared in public.
But today…
He came for his wife.
Li Xinyue looked at him in surprise. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“Gu Zhen?”
He walked toward her.
His eyes were calm but filled with protection.
“Are you alright?”
She nodded.
“I’m fine.”
Gu Zhen looked at the reporters.
His cold gaze made everyone silent.
“Who started these rumors?”
Nobody answered.
His voice became colder.
“I asked a question.”
The reporters lowered their heads.
The pressure from the general was overwhelming.
A reporter finally gathered courage.
“General Gu, is there any truth that you and Miss Lin Meiqi have a special relationship?”
The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.
Gu Zhen did not hesitate.
“No.”
One word.
Simple.
Clear.
Then he continued:
“The only woman who has a relationship with me is my wife.”
Everyone became shocked.
Li Xinyue looked at him.
Her heart moved.
He had never publicly said something like this before.
Gu Zhen turned to her.
“Mrs. Gu, are you ready to leave?”
Mrs. Gu.
The title she once disliked.
Now it felt like the safest place in the world.
She nodded.
“Yes.”
After they left, the internet exploded.
General Gu Personally Defends His Wife.
The Cold Commander Shows His Love For The First Time.
The public was shocked.
Nobody expected the powerful general to care so deeply about his wife.
Inside a private room, Lin Meiqi watched the news.
Her face turned pale.
She never expected Gu Zhen to publicly choose Li Xinyue.
Never.
The person beside her asked:
“What will you do now?”
Lin Meiqi’s eyes became darker.
“If Gu Zhen cares about her so much…”
She smiled coldly.
“Then I will attack the thing they both care about.”
“What?”
“Their families.”
That evening, Gu Zhen and Li Xinyue sat together at home.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
“Thank you.”
Li Xinyue suddenly said.
Gu Zhen looked at her.
“For what?”
“For protecting me.”
He was silent for a moment.
Then he answered:
“You are my wife.”
A simple sentence.
But it carried everything.
Li Xinyue looked at him.
“Gu Zhen.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you regret marrying me?”
The question surprised him.
After a moment, he replied:
“No.”
“Never.”
Her eyes became slightly wet.
Because she knew.
In her previous life, she was the one who regretted too late.
But now…
She still had time.
However, far away from their peaceful home…
A new danger was approaching.
And this time, the enemy’s plan was bigger.
They were not trying to separate husband and wife.
They were trying to destroy everything they built.
