Do You Know Who Gu Lin's Wife Is?

Do You Know Who Gu Lin's Wife Is?

After their conversation, the two had no further interaction. Gu Lin remained as aloof as ever, while Assistant Lin kept his gentle smile, as though nothing had changed between them.

Gu Lin looked at the food before him. The hand holding his chopsticks hovered in midair for a long time without coming down. His dark eyes swept over the empty office and the vacant sofa across from him, his expression gradually growing somber.

Lin Su had ordered lunch for him according to his tastes. Gu Lin picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing.

Gu Lin frowned. Had they changed chefs? Today's food tasted far worse than usual.

"Knock, knock, knock." Someone knocked on the door.

Gu Lin checked the time on his watch. Who would come at this hour? Had Lin Su returned?

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his cool voice rose slightly. "Come in."

The office door slowly opened. Gu Lin straightened and looked outside. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the doorway, grinning. "Hello, long time no see~"

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?" Xia Mingxuan strode in, slammed the door shut with a bang, and sat directly across from Gu Lin.

"Oh, you're eating. Perfect, I'm starving." With that, he unwrapped a pair of chopsticks and prepared to dig in.

There was little surprise on Gu Lin's face. His voice was as cold as the man himself. "Did you finish what you went to do?"

Xia Mingxuan rolled his eyes, stuffed food into his mouth, and said indistinctly, "You're abusing me. We're comrades-in-arms, for God's sake. Who talks business while eating?"

"By the way... aren't you eating?"

Gu Lin set down his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "No appetite."

Holding his bowl, Xia Mingxuan wandered around the office. Only then did he notice an extra desk. Taking a bite of meat, he said, "Come on, Gu Lin, you're this much of a beast now? You're actually watching Xiao Lin work?"

The words "Xiao Lin" successfully drew a reaction from Gu Lin. Xia Mingxuan noticed that the cold-faced man on the sofa had visibly tensed.

Hmm? Was there something going on?

As if on cue, there was another knock on the office door. Gu Lin clearly adjusted his posture, and a trace of anticipation showed in his still dark eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Mingxuan chuckled and immediately went to pull open the door. When he saw who was standing outside, he froze mid-chew.

After putting on glasses, the gentle Assistant Lin had turned into a soft, abstinent little beauty!

Lin Su was stunned for a second as well. He nodded slightly and said softly, "President Xia, long time no see."

Xia Mingxuan was also a shareholder in this company, with a much larger stake. In the world of that book, he was the company's behind-the-scenes boss, though he was not the only one.

When Lin Su had first joined the company, he had still been a junior assistant. He had only crossed paths with Xia Mingxuan a few times and had never had much interaction with him. Later, Xia Mingxuan went abroad, supposedly to handle the overseas branch. He had been gone for five years.

It was only in the third year that Lin Su officially became Gu Lin's assistant. During that time, he had never heard Gu Lin mention this friend who was far away overseas.

"You and President Gu carry on. I..."

Xia Mingxuan hurriedly grabbed him. "Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? Come in. I have something to ask you."

Lin Su paused and said softly, "All right."

What could he ask about? Other than the company, it could only be something about Gu Lin.

Gu Lin unconsciously adjusted his posture. It was something Lin Su had long been used to seeing, but Xia Mingxuan knew it was a sign that Old Gu was nervous. After all, the two Alphas had grown up wearing the same pair of pants. Other than Gu Lin himself, no one in this world understood him better than Xia Mingxuan did.

"I want to ask you something. You have to tell me everything you know, without holding anything back!" Xia Mingxuan put down his food and elegantly wiped his mouth, or so he believed.

Lin Su: ...

"Of course, President Xia. Go ahead and ask." He smiled, only for the other man to hit him with a soul-searching question.

"Do you know who his wife is?"

...She's right in front of you. Who else is the wife?! I'm a man!
