ABCFWGR Chapter 124: Serving the Same Husband Together
Fu Liu Pharmaceutical.
After a few days without seeing her, Wu Anqi looked somewhat haggard. She hurriedly returned to her office, holding a box as if it were a precious treasure.
She carefully placed the box on the table and gently opened it, revealing a fragrant, smooth, and round finished pill.
"Bingji Yugu Pill."
"Thank goodness, it's finally a finished product."
"This is my only chance to proactively contact Gu Chen. I hope he's not too angry anymore."
Wu Anqi sighed wistfully, feeling immense regret for what happened that day.
Bingji Yugu Pill, also known as Beauty Pill, was the new name she had painstakingly chosen after considering countless options. She had immediately informed Gu Chen.
Although Gu Chen hadn't expressed his opinion at the time, she could sense that he was pleased with the name.
Thinking of this gave her a bit more confidence. She steadied herself and dialed Gu Chen's number.
"Beep... beep..."
The phone was answered after only a few rings.
Gu Chen's calm, somewhat distant magnetic voice came through the line, "What is it?"
Hearing his voice, Wu Anqi was so excited she almost cried. Although she could feel his distance, at least he wasn't as cold as before.
Wu Anqi quickly said, "The sample of the Bingji Yugu Pill has been produced. Do you have time to come to the company to inspect it? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, I can also bring it over."
Her humble tone carried a hint of anticipation.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen replied indifferently, "Bring it over. I really can't leave right now."
Hearing this, Wu Anqi felt it was even better this way. A private setting would be more suitable for easing the tension between her and Gu Chen. She quickly agreed, "Okay, just give me the address, and I'll come right over."
Gu Chen didn't hold back and directly gave his room number.
A hotel?
Is he hinting at something?
Wu Anqi was initially stunned, then her face turned red with embarrassment. Although she didn't reject the idea, wasn't this progressing a bit too quickly?
Before she could decide whether to go along with Gu Chen, he had already hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone, Wu Anqi finally came to her senses and quickly touched her flushed cheeks.
"Wait a minute!"
As she calmed down, Wu Anqi suddenly remembered something, "Isn't that the same hotel where Yu Wei's family is staying? No wonder the hotel's name sounded so familiar!"
Thinking of this, Wu Anqi slumped into her chair, staring blankly at the wall, her mind racing.
"I asked him to check on Yu Wei, but he refused and got mad at me."
"Wow, I got betrayed!"
Wu Anqi suddenly stood up, feeling extremely angry, "That scoundrel, I was heartbroken and worried for him, and he... boohoo..."
Wu Anqi wanted to cry.
But then she thought it over and felt something was off.
First, Gu Chen's character was impeccable—something she had concluded after observing him for a long time. Second, the room numbers didn't match. If Gu Chen were involved with Chen Yu Wei, he wouldn't have booked a separate room.
Moreover, from their room numbers, it seemed there were several rooms between them.
"Ugh! This is so frustrating! I don't want to think about it anymore!"
"Why should they get to have fun while I worry here?"
"I must find out what they're up to. If... if he and Yu Wei really are together..."
Wu Anqi didn't dare to continue the thought. Standing there in a daze, she suddenly clenched her fists and made up her mind, "Fine... I'll just serve the same husband with Yu Wei. After all, we're best friends, so it's not like the benefits are going to an outsider!"
Determined, Wu Anqi grabbed the box of pills and stormed out.
At that moment...
In the hotel room.
Gu Chen looked at Ou Ya and said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Also, take the trash out with you."
"I'm not a servant. Besides, doesn't the hotel have housekeeping? Do you really need to clean up yourself?" Ou Ya retorted unhappily.
The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curled up slightly. "Don't doubt it, I am messing with you. Of course, you have the right to refuse, just as I have the right to refuse the proposals from the people behind you."
"You..."
Ou Ya stomped her feet in frustration but was helpless against him.
If looks could kill, Gu Chen would have been slain by Ou Ya a thousand times over.
"Fine, you win!"
Ou Ya angrily picked up the trash like she was dealing with an enemy, cursing him under her breath with every step as she walked out of the room.
"Just you wait, if I ever get the chance, I'll make you kneel and call me queen!"
Ou Ya muttered defiantly as she slammed the door shut. Though her voice was low, Gu Chen's sharp hearing didn't miss a word.
Hearing this, Gu Chen's face darkened, and he called out towards the door, "You better disappear quickly, or I'll make you kneel and call me king right now!"
Ou Ya, not expecting him to hear, was so frightened that her legs almost gave out. She hurriedly fled the scene.
As she left, she ran into Wu Anqi. However, neither of them recognized the other and they passed by without a word.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Wu Anqi nervously knocked on the door, squinting slightly and praying she wouldn't see anything inappropriate.
"Come in."
The door opened, revealing Gu Chen, fully dressed, standing in front of her.
Wu Anqi was momentarily stunned. Shouldn't he be disheveled?
She then glanced skeptically at the bed. It was neatly made. What was going on? Did he tidy up because he knew she was coming?
"What are you looking around for?" Gu Chen asked irritably.
"Isn't Yu Wei here?" Wu Anqi asked slyly.
"This is my room. What does it have to do with Chen Yu Wei?" Gu Chen replied, puzzled.
"Haha, you're right. It's nothing, I just overthought it." Wu Anqi said, still not fully convinced.
Sure enough!
As she entered the room, she noticed the trash bag by the bed was gone. It wasn't yet noon, clearly not time for housekeeping. The missing trash bag was definitely suspicious!
No detail could escape the sharp eyes of Wu "Conan Holmes" Anqi.
Fortunately, she had mentally prepared herself before coming, so it wasn't too hard to accept, though she still felt a bit sad and hurt.
It was inevitable!
"What are you daydreaming about? Where's the medicine?" Gu Chen asked.
If only he knew what Wu Anqi was thinking, he would surely have flicked her forehead twice.
Gu Chen had a strict sense of integrity when it came to relationships. He hadn't seen Chen Yu Wei even once in the past few days, and even if things were as Wu Anqi imagined, he wouldn't hide it.
Love is love. It should be open and aboveboard. Hiding it isn't love; it's keeping options open.
Of course, secret crushes are an exception!
While secret crushes are not to be encouraged, they deserve respect.
True affection isn't about being a pushover but about a long-lasting confession. Being a pushover means not knowing when to let go.
