Chapter 679: Love Above All Chapter 38 No Need to Stay

Gu Xiaoxi, upon hearing that, instantly flared up. She threw off the quilt, sat up, and glared at him resentfully. "You know very well that I don’t agree, yet you still do it. Are you deliberately trying to antagonize me?"

Bai Yaxuan looked at her puffed-up cheeks, her long eyelashes fluttering as she had just woken up, her eyes clear like spring water. Her rosy lips were tightly pressed together in anger, taking on an even deeper hue.

He casually looked away, feeling a warm current flow through his heart. Little did this girl know how enticing she looked at that moment.

"Xiao Xi, we’re married. It’s something the whole world has witnessed. I am your man, and I want to take care of you for a lifetime. Such an agreement is better off not existing," Bai Yaxuan said in a thin voice, void of overt emotion but undeniably serious.

Gu Xiaoxi pouted, feeling indignant and coldly retorted, "I don’t like you!"

"Feelings can be cultivated slowly, so, I will wait for the day you’ll like me," Bai Yaxuan said. He reached out to gently touch Gu Xiaoxi’s head with the tenderness one would show to a beloved pet.

Gu Xiaoxi raised her hand to forcefully swat his away and pulled the quilt over her head again. Right now, she didn’t want to talk to him at all.

And she wouldn’t come to like him.

Bai Yaxuan, watching her act petulantly, spoke in a gentle voice, "You went to bed late last night. Sleep in a little more this morning. Mi Xi is at the company, so you don’t need to worry. He will bring over any documents that need signing. Get ready, school is starting in a few days. And tonight there is an important banquet; I’ve asked Jiaolan to come over and help you get ready."

Gu Xiaoxi spoke in a muffled voice from under the quilt, "I’m not going!"

"Didn’t you say that others look down on you, that they bully you? If you go out with me more, no one will dare to say anything carelessly," Bai Yaxuan continued to patiently persuade her.

Gu Xiaoxi really wanted to kick this man out of her world or wish that she had never met him to begin with.

Because of him, she was plagued with so many troubles!

She must have been out of her mind when she decided to marry Bai Yaxuan out of spite for Gu Hua.

If only she had given up the Gu Family and escaped back then. She could have been free...

"Not going, definitely not going..." Gu Xiaoxi stubbornly insisted.

She hid under the quilt for a long time, waiting until she heard the sound of the door opening and Bai Yaxuan’s footsteps growing distant before she dared to poke her head out from under the covers.

Indeed, she hadn’t slept well after all the turmoil of the night.

Seeing Bai Yaxuan leave, she got out of bed to lock the door, then went back to sleep.

She slept until noon when Mi Xi personally delivered the company documents to her.

After signing her name, she sat at the dining table, listlessly staring at the food on her plate.

"What’s the matter? Unhappy again?" Mi Xi sorted the documents, gazing inquisitively at her pursed red lips.

"No, just feeling quite bored. Brother, did I make a mistake? I shouldn’t have taken back mother’s shares. After all, father was mommy’s only love. By doing this, would mommy blame me?" Gu Xiaoxi said sadly.

But Mi Xi’s face grew more serious, his tone sharp, "Xiao Xi, you are still young. You don’t understand people’s hearts. If father truly cherished mommy, he wouldn’t have had others outside. Gu Cheng is two years older than you; although he’s a stepson, the truth is he is his own flesh and blood. No need to investigate Gu Yuxin any further; father has already acknowledged her as his own."

"Then tell me, how did mommy die?" Gu Xiaoxi asked, lifting her gaze, cold as ice.

Mi Xi was silent for a while, recalling the matters their mother had entrusted him with before her demise, and he said nonchalantly, "Illness!"

There was a brief silence at the dining table. Gu Xiaoxi faintly felt that Mi Xi wasn’t telling her the whole truth.

"I’m leaving now. You need to learn to be good. We are weak now, and only by relying on him can we stay safe," Mi Xi stood up, ready to take the documents and go.

Gu Xiaoxi sensed that there was more to his words, "What do you mean by only being safe by relying on him?"

Mi Xi gave her a faint smile, "Don’t underestimate dad’s capabilities. He has dominated the business world for many years. Do you think he would be content with you taking so much of his shares?"

"Are you implying that he will still come after me?" Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrow.

Mi Xi did not reply and left with the documents.

Gu Xiaoxi continued eating, but even as the Presidential Mansion served delicacies of every kind, the food tasted like wax to her, hard to swallow.

Over the years, the Gu Family’s roots had indeed run deep, securing its position among the top three richest in the country and even the world—a force not to be underestimated.

The moment she left the Presidential Mansion, she would face endless attempts on her life, and even Mi Xi might suffer for it.

Staying in the Presidential Mansion, just the thought of Bai Yaxuan’s ever-more abnormal behavior infuriated her.

At the end of the day, she was just a little overlord from a small city. Having come into this dangerous realm of wealthy and noble circles, she had a hard time adapting to the deceitful schemes within.

Even someone who appeared as noble and god-like as Bai Yaxuan, when his true nature became apparent, was a shock to her.

At three in the afternoon, a strange man accompanied by three female assistants arrived at the Presidential Mansion.

"Good day, ma’am. I am Jiaolan. I was sent by Sir, and I am pleased to be at your service," said the man, who was in his twenties and spoke politely. Gu Xiaoxi seemed to have seen him in a magazine before, known as a famous fashion guru.

"I already said I’m not going to any banquet. You all may leave," Gu Xiaoxi signaled Qiao Wan with her eyes and then turned to go upstairs.

Qiao Wan stood there, also quite embarrassed, as they obviously could not force Gu Xiaoxi.

"Miss Qiao Wan, you should try to persuade the lady. Mr. Bai has mentioned that if you can’t handle even a small task like this, there is no need for you to stay," Jiaolan’s voice was soft, which contrasted greatly with his tall figure.
