My Hubby is a Business Mogul

Song Yazhan stopped the car and looked at the red traffic light in front of him. He said with indifference, "Mr. Qin just wanted to have a meal with you."

Pei Qian pursed his thin lips and closed his eyes again after a while. "I got it."

The aerodynamic car looked as if it was a shooting star shooting across the universe as it drove under the night sky…

Sleeping in on a Sunday morning would probably appear as habitual for most individuals.

However, it was not the case for Gu Xi for she lived a well-regulated lifestyle since young. She would always wake up at seven in the morning without fail.

She lay on her bed for a while until her alarm clock rang for the second time. It was only then that she reached her hand out to turn it off.

Unable to fall asleep anymore, she walked to the dressing room to change into a comfortable set of clothing. She then went downstairs and opened the fridge to make some toast for breakfast.

She then sat on the sofa and read the morning newspaper for over an hour.

When it was nine a.m, her phone suddenly rang.

Gu Xi walked over to answer it…

A sweet voice drifted into her ear from the other end of the phone. "Miss Gu, we are calling from A Life Promise bridal studio! The wedding dress you ordered has arrived, please don't forget to come to try it on!"

Gu Xi froze momentarily and a realization struck her.

She pursed her lips and said, "Throw it away!"

The other party did not seem to have heard her. "Miss Gu, you mean…"

Gu Xi snapped out of her trance and hesitated for a while before saying, "I will come over."

It was just that Qin Mo would not be there with her… They initially promised each other that they would come over to try on their wedding outfits today.

A bitter feeling crept to her as she hugged her knees while staring at the sky outside…

Slowly, she pulled a star necklace out from her shirt.

The necklace did not look new; instead, it looked a little old.

Gu Xi carefully unknotted the necklace and placed it before her eyes…

She used to cry all the time when she was young…

Her parents died when she was very young and her grandfather's strict teachings and upbringing made her cry all the time…

One afternoon, she hid under a flower stand and cried for the whole afternoon.

She swore to make sure no one would be able to find her… especially her grandpa.

"Are you crying?" A boy older than her by a few years sat beside her under the flower stand. Looking at her tear-stricken face, he gently wiped the tears away from her face.

Gu Xi felt a little stumped, for this boy looked too handsome…

Gu Xi asked with her lips pursed, "Did you come together with Uncle Qin?"

Despite his awkward expression, he still nodded his head.

Little Gu Xi asked with her eyes wide open, "What's your name?"

"My surname is… Qin, of course!" The boy smiled and gently caressed her hair.

Back then, his gentle actions made Little Gu Xi feel very warm as though… her mother was still around.

After that incident, that boy would seek her whenever she felt down. Uncle Qin just lived next door.

This continued until one day, he told her that he was moving house and would be unable to accompany her anymore…

Before he left, he had gifted her a necklace and told her to take it out whenever she was feeling sad. It would serve as a reminder that he would always be there for her…

When the Qin Family left, Little Gu Xi even chased after them for a very long time…

She always thought that she would forget him… for she tried hard not to think about him. After all, betrayers were not meant to be remembered!

When her grandpa told her that the Gu Family and the Qin Family were having an arranged marriage… She met Qin Mo.

His surname was Qin and he was Uncle Qin's son.

However, Qin Mo seemed to have forgotten about her, for he could not recall the good old days where he treated her with such care and gentleness.

Regardless of that, he was very satisfied with her and they got engaged very soon. The few dates they had also gone well…

Went well?

Gu Xi scoffed in self-ridicule and raised her head to prevent her tears from falling down.

'Gu Xi, it's not worth it to cry over a man!'

She placed the necklace into a box and kept it in her drawer.

She was determined not to cry over Qin Mo ever again.

She changed into a silk blouse and a matching black skirt to go along well with it.

She stopped her car at the roadside near the bridal studio and stayed there for a long time before finally deciding to enter it.

Gu Xi did not enter in a rush. Instead, she stood in front of the glass door and looked inside…

Perhaps the staff was preparing for her arrival because they had already placed the bridal gown which was decorated with diamonds. They even placed it in the most prominent area of the studio…

A famous Italian designer designed the dress, and it was the only one in this world.

Gu Xi stared at it in silence…

She wore an indifferent expression while sorrow filled her eyes…

Little did she know, a black camper van slowly stopped by the roadside.

Song Yazhan observed his boss' expression through the rearview mirror and was a little surprised at the view.

Pei Qian, who was sitting at the back seat of the car, noticed her long ago…

The Gu Xi he knew always seemed like a little lion in front of others and was very different from the Gu Xi he witnessed today. She looked as fragile as a doll.

Her gaze was filled with sorrow and desire. She slowly reached her hand out, wanting to touch the bridal gown behind the glass door.

Witnessing it, Pei Qian's heart sank. The scene before him… It was as if he had experienced it before!

"President…" Song Yazhan wanted to remind Pei Qian that he still had an important meeting later, but Pei Qian raised his hand to stop him.

He held his breath while staring at Gu Xi…

Song Yazhan looked out of the window, only to purse his lips after seeing the scene before him…

Gu Xi continued staring for a while before taking a deep breath and entering the store.

The shop assistant was not aware there were changes to Gu Xi's wedding plans. She smiled as she said, "Is your boyfriend busy today? It's okay. The main issue is your wedding dress, so if there's no problem with it, we can do the photoshoot another time."

Gu Xi wanted to say something, but she held it in while pursing her lips.

The shop assistant carefully took the wedding dress down. "Miss Gu, do you want to try it on now?"

Gu Xi caressed it before raising her head to give the shop assistant a smile. "Yes."

Ten minutes later, she walked out of the dressing room with the wedding dress on her.

Her long hair was casually tied up, exposing her slender and beautiful neck which was as fair as an elephant's tusk…

The low cut V neck design gave off a sexy vibe. Although her chest was covered with a few thin layers of chiffon, it made her look more desirable and attractive than ever.

The waterfall skirt was the main point of the dress, and since it was layered with diamonds, it made Gu Xi look as if she was standing in the middle of the galaxy.

Beautiful! She looked gorgeous!

That was the first thought that came to Pei Qian's mind.

However, when she turned around, he could not help but take a deep breath…

The dress was actually an open back dress. The cutting was so low that it exposed her whole back… seemingly showing the lower part of her body.

At that exact moment, he finally found the best description for her smooth and beautiful back… An adjective like 'drop-dead gorgeous' sufficed only 0.001 percent of her beautiful back!

Pei Qian could not shift his gaze away from her. It was as if he was looking at a heavenly scenery in front of him. It took him a few moments to realize that he… had a boner!

There was never a time where a woman could make him have a boner just by looking at them!

At that moment, he felt pathetic yet angry… He leaned his back against his seat and said in a deep tone of voice, "Start the car!"

Song Yazhan naturally knew the reason for his anger as he had also witnessed it, but he did not dare to take a second glance at it. He could even clearly see the possessive glint in his boss' eyes.

Song Yazhan started the car and Pei Qian finally cooled down after a while. He suddenly said, "Come back to this shop again later. Regardless of how expensive it is, as long as that wedding dress is on sale, buy it!"
