Should I say yes or not?
What if she turns out to be Gu Wan’er’s rival? Wouldn’t that be super embarrassing?
“I’m busy.”
“You!”
The other person was so angry they hung up right away. Yu Xiaoduo pursed his lips and called Gu Wan’er.
“What is it?”
“Just now, someone named Big White Goose called you, wanting to invite you to dinner. I didn’t like her tone, so I turned her down for you.”
“What? You turned her down?” Gu Wan’er was stunned and let out a small gasp.
Yu Xiaoduo frowned. “Shouldn’t I have turned her down?”
“Didn’t I say I’d introduce you to someone? It was her!”
Yu Xiaoduo shattered into a million pieces on the spot.
Wait, that’s not right. You were supposed to introduce me to Sister Yun’er. Why did the person change? That’s just messing around.
What woman could be as lovely as my Sister Yun’er? I wouldn’t even glance at other girls.
“She sounded like she had a grudge against you. Do you two have beef? If you have beef, why introduce her to me?” Yu Xiaoduo asked curiously.
“You’ll find out when the time comes. I’m at work, stop being so lovesick.” With that, Gu Wan’er hung up first. She thought she wasn’t coming until early next month, but she came early instead.
Yu Xiaoduo thought to himself, you sure know how to keep me in suspense. He was curious to see what kind of person this Big White Goose really was—whether she could be as cute and considerate as Sister Yun’er.
But the problem was, things were heating up with Sister Yun’er right now. Suddenly changing targets seemed kind of wrong.
At lunchtime, Gu Wan’er came to the company cafeteria as usual. Zhao Liang had been waiting by the elevator early on.
“Brother Yu, hehe.”
In a good mood, Gu Wan’er teased, “Looks like that peach blossom isn’t far from being picked.”
“No, no, Brother Yu’s in a good mood?”
Gu Wan’er twisted her neck. “Not bad.” She picked up a tray and started choosing food she liked.
After a while, Zhao Liang saw that Gu Wan’er’s tray was full of meat and teased, “Brother Yu, have you been feeling weak lately? That’s a lot of replenishing.”
Gu Wan’er was also helping Yu Xiaoduo build up some muscle, so he wouldn’t say she only ate vegetables.
“With a woman like President Gu, how could I not replenish?” Gu Wan’er could even joke about herself now, which made the chubby guy quite envious.
“Brother Yu, don’t just enjoy yourself. What should your brother do next?”
Gu Wan’er picked a table and sat down. “Haste makes waste. A widow’s door is full of gossip, and that young widow isn’t bad-looking. There are probably men chasing her. You need to establish yourself first.”
“Brother Yu’s right, but I’m just so anxious.”
“Look at you. More haste, less speed. When you have no advantages, like I said, the kid is your breakthrough.”
Zhao Liang let out a long sigh. “Brother Yu, you eat meat every night, while I sleep alone. This life is rough.”
“Lose some weight then. You’re still eating so much.”
“I only look forward to this one meal a day. After I eat, I’ll diet.”
Gu Wan’er shook her head. She’d heard that line at least five times, and Yu Xiaoduo had probably heard it five hundred times.
“Hey, I heard President Gu blew up at a meeting today. What happened?” Zhao Liang asked in a low voice. Everyone was speculating about it today.
Gu Wan’er held a chicken leg and tore into it. Being in Yu Xiaoduo’s body was so comfortable—no need to care about a woman’s image.
“A woman’s gotta help me get revenge, that’s all.”
“Brother Yu, I don’t mean to butt in, but even though President Gu is naturally gorgeous and every man’s ultimate dream, it’s also way too dangerous. You escaped this time, but what if there’s a next time? Look at the chaebol in movies—they kill people at the drop of a hat.”
Gu Wan’er had certainly realized this too, but what could she do now? Her relationship with Yu Xiaoduo had grown so deep they couldn’t be separated. He is me, and I am him. She could only try her best to keep him safe.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Gu Wan’er said seriously.
“To die on a beauty is a romantic way to go.”
Gu Wan’er: “…”
Gu Wan’er glanced toward the entrance. Wasn’t Yu Xiaoduo coming out to show off today?
Yu Xiaoduo’s take: the honeymoon phase was over. It was more comfortable to order food in the office, eat, then sleep until four in the afternoon and get ready to clock out. Life was pretty good.
When the clock hit five, Yu Xiaoduo promptly grabbed his bag and left. He wondered if Sister Yun’er would come home tonight.
Without thinking, he went to the parking lot, then realized he didn’t seem to have a car. Looks like he’d need to use her card to buy one.
“Let’s go, what are you standing there for?” A familiar voice sounded from beside him.
Yu Xiaoduo watched himself walk over. “I told you to keep a low profile. At least let me walk a few blocks before you come pick me up.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Everyone at the company already knows you’re my kept man.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “…”
My whole glorious reputation has been ruined by you. You’re a girl—don’t you know how to be modest?
Whatever. If a woman isn’t afraid, why should I be?
Getting in the car and smelling that new car scent, Yu Xiaoduo felt a bit better.
Some employees driving home from work kept glancing over, especially the men—envious, jealous, and hateful. President Gu, a girl like that, had only been here less than a month, and this flower had already been planted on a pile of dog poop. Life was unfair.
“See those jealous, crazy looks? Feels great,” Yu Xiaoduo chuckled.
Gu Wan’er didn’t feel anything. She said calmly, “That’s because of me. That’s why they’re jealous of you.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you sure know how to brag about yourself.”
“I’m just stating facts.”
“Alright, I know you’re gorgeous and have a great figure. By the way, what exactly is your relationship with that Big White Goose?”
Gu Wan’er sighed softly. “Last time you asked about Xiao Yu, remember?”
“Yeah, the guy who claims to be your fiancé. Does he have something to do with Big White Goose too?”
“This Big White Goose is Xiao Yu’s biological sister, Xiao Luan.”
Yu Xiaoduo’s face stiffened. Finally he said, “Your circle is really messy.”
You introduce his sister to me, and you marry her brother. When you get down to it, we’re all one family. Sister-in-law becomes sister-in-law. Too messy.
“Do you two not get along?” Yu Xiaoduo’s inner gossip surged up again. He was just too curious.
“You’re a grown man, and you’re this interested in things between women?”
“I’m in your body, aren’t I? It’d be bad to give the wrong reaction. Come on, tell me what’s going on.”
Gu Wan’er took a deep breath and shot Yu Xiaoduo a glare. What a thick skin.
“She and I used to be best friends.”
“Of course. Plastic sisterhood.”
“Fine, forget it then!”
“No no no, President Gu, don’t be mad. Just kidding.”
Seeing that signature smile appear on his own face, Gu Wan’er’s scalp went numb. “Don’t smile like that on my face ever again. It feels like a…”
“Like what?”
“Like a bar girl.”
Yu Xiaoduo was stunned. He quickly checked the mirror. “A noble President Gu smiling like that really does lose dignity. Like a girl from the red-light district.”
“You’re still smiling.”
“Not smiling, not smiling. Please continue. I promise I won’t talk.”
