Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 43 President Gu should still pay more attention to his own little lover!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 President Gu should still pay more attention to his own little lover!

"What did you say?!"

President Gu was baffled by Ji Yu’s words.

"Nothing, just a friendly reminder for President Gu. Instead of coming here to show concern for me, perhaps you should pay more attention to your little lover!"

After saying this, Ji Yu hung up the call. She wasn’t some pushover willing to sit here and endure threats and anger from her ex-husband.

Thinking about it only made Ji Yu angrier. After changing her clothes, she prepared to head downstairs for dinner.

Before going downstairs, she didn’t forget to send a message to Feng Qinqin.

Having the call hung up on him, Gu Qixiao was already enraged due to some data issues. Now, hearing himself accused of having a lover, his anger surged.

Unable to suppress his fury, Gu Qixiao quickly dialed the internal line.

"Assistant Li, get over here immediately!"

Assistant Li, who had been dutifully working outside, stiffened upon hearing President Gu’s tone.

On his way from the assistant’s office to the CEO’s office—a relatively short distance—he kept racking his brain, trying to figure out if he had made any mistakes.

Despite his relentless pondering, Assistant Li couldn’t identify any faults. Trembling, he knocked on the door, unsure of the storm he was about to face.

"Sir..."

Nervous, Assistant Li cautiously addressed Gu Qixiao, fearing that any slip might provoke him.

Seeing that it was Assistant Li who entered, Gu Qixiao didn’t even glance at him. Despite summoning him, he remained silent.

All his thoughts were consumed with grudges against Ji Yu, who had just hung up on him.

He couldn’t understand. The request he had proposed earlier wasn’t excessive—it was even completely advantageous for Doctor Ji.

Yet she hung up the call just like that?

And had the audacity to accuse him of having a lover!

Not long ago, Gu Qixiao had just divorced his wife. The divorce was mainly due to his three-year-long focus on work, during which he hadn’t even met her once.

Out of guilt, he even volunteered to allocate a larger share of assets to her during the divorce, as compensation and solace.

Thinking about how his good intentions were repaid with accusations of infidelity, Gu Qixiao’s rage burned hotter.

Meanwhile, when Assistant Li noticed the file thrown on the floor, his heart sank. He had already seen the title printed on the document.

It was the project Gu Qixiao had recently signed with Cai Xun’s family after collaborating with the Feng family.

Yet the project had encountered repeated troubles, including continual financial chain disruptions, even though it hadn’t been completed.

Quickly scanning the data in the file, Assistant Li felt relieved that he could still stand upright after entering the room—it was a miracle in itself.

"Sir..." he cautiously called out to Gu Qixiao again.

Gu Qixiao’s gaze toward him was icy and sharp, though his presence didn’t feel as intimidating as when he was deeply enraged.

Still, Assistant Li felt as if something was glaring at him from behind, causing chills to run down his spine.

"Get everyone in this project team to the conference room immediately. We’re holding an emergency meeting in ten minutes."

"Understood."

Assistant Li was about to notify the whole project team when Gu Qixiao’s chilling voice came from behind.

"Anyone who doesn’t show up in the conference room within ten minutes can pack up their things and leave this afternoon!"

Assistant Li froze for a second, but he didn’t respond to Gu Qixiao.

After all, Gu Qixiao didn’t need him to respond right now.

As Assistant Li left, Gu Qixiao once again found himself stewing over Ji Yu’s attitude during the phone call.

"It’s obvious that Doctor Ji is the one at fault. She’s a married woman, yet still indulges in such flirtatious behavior..."

"I really don’t understand how someone like her managed to climb to the top!"

Gu Qixiao’s disdain for Ji Yu had never vanished since that night they shared, even though Ji Yu had now told him she was divorced.

This animosity persisted.

Even though Ji Yu wasn’t the one who drugged him that night—in fact, she had coincidentally saved his life—it still felt like a deliberate scheme in Gu Qixiao’s mind.

Especially when he saw the tabloid news about Doctor Ji and Movie Emperor Lu Xingchen again. All the online commentary practically wished they’d have a baby together. This only amplified Gu Qixiao’s anger.

He didn’t understand why he felt this way. He simply assumed it was because he’d had physical relations with her—especially considering it was his first time.

Convinced this was the reason, Gu Qixiao dismissed all other possibilities and buried himself in work again.

With eight minutes left before the meeting, he had to quickly review and sign off on all the reports before him.

Gu Qixiao deftly flipped through the piles of documents, swiftly scanning them line by line.

After all, someone had already screened these files beforehand, leaving only the ones requiring urgent review for him.

Most of the remaining documents were those requiring his signature. Gu Qixiao pushed himself to sign them as quickly as possible.

By the time Assistant Li knocked on the door again, Gu Qixiao had signed off on most of the files.

"Sir, all team members have arrived at the conference room."

After signing the final document, Gu Qixiao rose from his seat and headed toward the conference room.

As the boss, Gu Qixiao surveyed the project team members gathered in the room. None of them dared utter a single word.

It was only after Gu Qixiao had taken his seat that everyone cautiously followed suit.

"Can someone explain to me what’s wrong with the data this time?!"

Assistant Li had already made copies of the report and distributed them to everyone present in the room.

Since Gu Qixiao insisted all project team members attend, some junior employees who had never seen him before were secretly thrilled.

Unlike their group leaders, who were tense with anxiety, the juniors were excited—meeting President Gu was no trivial matter.

Du Wei was one of them.

Looking at Gu Qixiao sitting in the head seat, Du Wei was already daydreaming, her heart fluttering.

With her extensive experience reading hundreds of "dominant CEO falls in love with me" novels, Du Wei believed wholeheartedly that Gu Qixiao must be the type to spoil someone endlessly once he falls for them.

Who cared about his family background?

CEO novels always emphasized that family background wasn’t an issue for the male lead.

Besides, wasn’t she perfectly positioned to seize this opportunity, being so close to him?

Lost in her own fantasies, Du Wei completely missed the content of the meeting. All she could think about was how to follow the blueprint in CEO novels and gradually win Gu Qixiao’s heart.

Meanwhile, over at Lu Xingchen’s studio, everyone was anxiously waiting for him to return to the company.

His manager, Lu Ming, stared at the escalating tabloid news online, suppressing his anger and avoiding further exposure to the scandal.

The junior assistants monitored the ongoing developments online, trying their best to help shift public opinion.

"Let the front desk know to contact me the moment Lu Xingchen arrives!"

"Why is it taking him so long to get here..."

Lu Ming was beside himself with worry. Still, there was no sign of Lu Xingchen.

Just as Lu Ming was about to pick up the phone again to check, Lu Xingchen’s voice finally echoed through.

"I’m back. What’s the current situation?"
