Husband Doting Wife: Emperor Gu's Shameless Perfect Bride Chapter 18
Advertisement
After Xiao Ai went back home at night, she seemed a little exhausted. Usually she would walk straight up to check on Gu Bojing and change her clothes but this time, she just comfortably slumped on the couch. Her feets sprawled in an unlady like manner.
Gu Bolin was in the kitchen cooking when he heard the unhurried footsteps from the living room. Taking a look he saw his sister in law sprawled on the couch messing with the TV remote.
Seeing her face like that he felt a bit of pity for her. Xiao Ai had gone through a lot in past. Her leaving Russia was not a very pleasant experience too.
But she swindled me! I shouldn't pity her.
Regardless, he brought her a cup of cold water and some fruits.
"Oh..bro thank you. Where's my hubby?" She lazily asked her eye on the TV while taking the cup from Bolin.
If Bolin had not guided the cup while she was taking it, she would have clumsily splashed the cold water on herself.
Bolin almost hissed. If that had happened, his brother would most definitely blame him.
"You arrived a little late today. Brother and I got home earlier there are some things he needs to deal with." he said his expressions suddenly turning gloomy.
Xiao Ai noticed this and felt that something wasn't right.
"Is everything okay with the company?" She asked placing the cup on the tray while picking an apple.
Gu Bolin struggled internally for a while. Should he tell her? Should he not. After a while he decided.
"Some old geezers at the company is trying new tricks. It seems that Weng Xu Lou must have said unhappy things about brother to her family." he explained walking back to the kitchen.
Xiao Ai followed after biting into her apple, her face showed a bit of concern.
"So what? Is her family that powerful? We can always crush them."
"Her mother, our distant aunt is married to Director Weng. If the government decides to give the company some tough time, although brother can always manage everything but what's the use of the headache you know. It will just bring more trouble to clean up for everyone."
Xiao Ai thought for a while before she realised something. Director Weng!
"Wait are you saying she's the daughter of that Director Weng. The president of the millitary tax force?"
Bolin nodded confirming her words.
"Then what the hell is she doing working in my husbands company if she has such capable family." Xiao Ai lamented ignoring the important facts.recently she had noticed that she was becoming more and more protective of her husband. She was exceptionally jealous too. Which she wasn't used to in the past.
Gu Bolin ignored his sister in law as he focused on the stired fried beef he was making.
Could she be serious for once. He was about to give her a reply when he saw his brother descending the stairs.
"Hubby..." Xiao Ai called out in a sweet manner widening her arms, asking for a hug.
Gu Bojing smiled faintly and walked over pulling her in for a tight hug.
Gu Bolin quickly looked away almost coughing but holding it in since he was cooking.
"Brother told me about what happened? Will the tax force come to inspect your company? Haven't you guys been honest with the government?" She asked while still buried in his warm embrace.
Gu Bojibg tightened his grip on her waist as he pulled her closer wanting to melt her with himself.

When he saw her lazily walk out of the car from the study he couldn't help but feel like he had let her down. But even if he wanted it help there was nothing he could do as Xiao Ai would not accept his help. She had always loved the feeling of being independent.
"It's fine. It's not a huge problem." he assured sending a glare to the back of Bolins head who quickly shuddered and dared not look back sensing his brothers glare. " Zhao Baozhai should be returning to the hospital by next week. Aunty said she wouldn't get her pay for six months instead."
Xiao Ai finally manged to free herself from his hug. Recently she felt that this man was becoming more and more clingy.
"En. Its fine. After all I also got a reduction in salary. Hmmph...serves her right."
Gu Bolin turned around preparing the dishes in the plates while Xiao Ai managed to help him set the table. Not able to hold back his curiosity he glanced over at his sister in law before carefully asking.
"Sister, about Baozhai what do you plan to do with her? Shouldn't you just find something and destroy her in one blow?" he asked not understanding Xiao Ais train of thoughts.
Helping her get back to the hospital was definitely not a way of getting revenge on someone like Baozhai.
"Mrs Gu congratulations on joining the Mo family." Gu Bojing said a charming smile on his lips as he raised his glass of water.
Xiao Ai sat and stared for a while clearly taken away by this man's beauty.
After a while she composed herself and raised a glass of water too saying 'thank you' before she turned back to Bolin.
"Why should I destroy her in one blow if I can make her feel the pain of slowly losing things. Her mother back then was shameless enough to take my mother's place. Mother doesn't say much about it but I know she was clearly affected by that matter. Madam Dong was her own cousin after all. She clearly didn't expect such from her. I just want to sit back and enjoy the show. Both Mother and Daughter in few months should be visiting the rehabilitation centre." she finished slowly chewing on her food.
Gu Bolin was startled as he paused his hands
Could it be sister in law want to....
Shit! Was she adopting her methods again!
He had heard from his brother back then that her methods on enemies were cruel.
This sister in law of his....
"What? Do I sound wicked?" She questioned flashing Bolin a smile.
Bolin unaware of what was happening was stuck on her smile as he slowly nodded gulping down a glass of water.
Sister in law is dangerous.
Too dangerous.
Femme Fatale....
"Infact by now she should have received my token. " Xiao Ai lazily added checking the time.
"What token?" Gu Bolin added his voice low and laced with jealousy. He knew how she was in the past so mentioning that she gave someone a token made him alert.
"Just some bunch of roses." she calmly replied munching on her food."Confusion is the best start of depression. When you get too confused about who you are, what you want or why you are currently in a state and you don't even get help, depression slowly sips in. From there I will use my special plan and boom! Rehab welcomes her!" Xiao Ai explained with excitement.
Her tone only made Gu Bolin shudder even more.

How cruel! Yet exciting!
Xiao Ai had a sly smile on her face as she felt satisfied about her own plan. Nothing hurts a woman like Baozhai more than being looked down on by everyone. By that time, even if she shouts that she's fine, no one would believe her.
How satisfying it would be! Xiao Ai thought.
Gu Bojing could see the evil grin on her face and suddenly felt a pang of pain.
That evil look....
She had once...
Xiao Ai washed up and jumped straight to bed toying with her phone while Gu Bojing went to the study to attend to some work.
Normally, Gu Bojing would always set the bath for her but Xiao Ai didn't know how to do these things and so he didn't mind.
As long as she was his...
As long as they were together...
It was all that mattered...
Xiao Ai chatted with Lifen for some time before opening her private email.
As usual, the fool had sent her the progress of the gangs.
Although she had made it clear to him that she didn't want to be involved with those kind of things again but the fool was used to sending her emails.
So old fashioned. She thought.
Xiao Ai could still remember the time that they met...they were so wild. So unruly.
Back then...he had...
Xiao Ai suddenly felt a warm hand caressing her tigh. She looked up to see Bojing was staring straight at her.
His rough hands grabbed her tighs tightly and before she could say anything he lifted her up onto his tighs. Her legs wrapped around his waist as she found support on his broad shoulders.
Trailing kisses down her neck, Xiao Ai shrank backward giggling like a little girl. He didn't give her any chance to adapt to his grip so she didnt know how to react.
"Bojing..."she moaned into his ears softly biting his neck.
Bojing turned stiff for a while before maintaining his composure. She had never called his name that intimately...and not in this manner.
"Its been a while since I felt you like this." He purred tracing circles into her inner tighs.
Xiao Ai was about to complain that they had still done it two days ago, but her ringtone suddenly interrupted them.
Gu Bojing reached out to her phone but Xiao Ai stopped him.
"Don't pick it..." She whined.
Gu Bojing waved the phone in her eyes . When Xiao Ai saw the caller she quickly grabbed the phone and distanced herself from Gu Bojing.
Holding the phone to her ears, she had a sweet expression on her red face.
"Uncle, its been a while. Hows aunty doing? How's my Jenny? Yes yes...I am sorry. I wanted to call but have been bus...what! What did you say? My Jenny? When did that happen? Who would dare to?" Xiao Ai asked her other hand clenched into a ball. Her face turned stormy, her eyes carried a dangerous vibe...she looked like she wanted to smash everything.
After struggling with her emotions for a while,she closed her eyes and opened it.
Her eyes suddenly changed as she calmed herself.
"Don't worry uncle, I will be there tomorrow." Xiao Ai assured, trying to calm her emotions well.
When Xiao Ai placed the phone down, she turned to look at Gu Bojing smiling faintly as though she had not just had a killer look on her face.
"Is everything fine?" He asked holding her hands and pulling her close."You look scary." he teased.
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes and sniffed in a deep breath as she looked ahead avoiding his eyes.
"Hubby, remember I told you I used to be bad. Very bad. I think someone is trying to mess with me indirectly. Jenny has been misisng since this morning." She hurriedly explained still having a pained expression on her beautiful face.
Anyone but Jenny...
Not her Jenny...
Gu Bojing looked confused for a while and slowly patted her back.
"Who's jenny?"
"Its a teenager am looking after. I helped her with her depression few years ago. She was a really sweet girl you know, so I decided to look after her. Jenny wanted to become a millitry officer so I sent her to my uncle Zhao in City S. He owns a martial art academy, so I felt that would be better for her. I was just talking about her to someone today...Jenny is a smart girl..to have managed to abduct her..." Her eyes darkened a bit shade looking mysterious." They must not be very simple. They must know she's related to me."
"I will come with you tomorrow." He stated firmly.
"No...you don't need to. I can take care of myself."
Gu Bojing shot her an unhappy look, but Xiao Ai simply ignored him.
"You still have work at the company. Gu Bojing I ask that you trust me. When I return I will tell you everything. Jenny is my younger sister I wouldn't want her to be implicated because of me. Hun?"
Gu Bojing stared at her for a while, battling with his inner emotions. He knew Xiao Ai could take care of herself but he still felt like going with her.
He didn't know why he felt like if she left, he would lose her forever.
His heart felt uneasy.
Was he going to lose her if she left...
Why did his chest suddenly feel stuffy.
Receiving no response from him, Xiao Ai went to the balcony to make a call.
"Little guy, my Jenny has been abducted form the martial arts academy. I need you to investigate her whereabouts for the past few days. Also check the nearby cctvs. I know it must have been erased but I need you recover everything. Every single thing. I need you to send me the information in an hour. Also check on Director Shen Yumos side. She's been trying to help Baozhai and has been trying to get on my nerves. Quucly gather the information and send it to XXX. " she hurriedly commanded.
She was about to hang up when little guy said something to her.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ais eye as her whole body turned alert.
So they were here...
She was woorred about that fool but it turned out to be them instead...
"Hmm...I understand. Quickly gather the information and send it to me. We can't be so sure its them. They don't like to go in circles like that."
Several minutes had passed before Gu Bojing felt that she had sent too much time outside. He wrapped her with a blanket as he handed her a cup of warm milk.
Xiao Ai placed the cup down without touching it. Staring at Gu Bojing she smiled and held his hands before whispering in his ears.
"I want to feel you." She seductively whispered. Her face coated in a layer of pink as she looked into his eyes.
Xiao Ai knew she might have to stay for a while in City S.
She was slowly getting addicted to this guy.
She felt that if she didn't say it now, she might regret.
There were words on the tip of her tongue. Ready to be poured but Xiao Ai suppressed it as her lips formed into a thin line.
Suddenly Gu Bojing lifted her up earning a loud gasp from her.
As he shut the glass doors, Xiao Ai felt a little regret in her mind.
That look in his eyes...
This was going to be a long night....

He moved his face forward directly in front of her.Lisa could feel his hot breathe on her neck as he bent forward to place his mouth on her neck, placing a tender kiss there. Lisa took a large gulp of air trying to control the tingles, she was feeling down there."I was jealous, Lisa," He breathed out in her ears placing yet another kiss just below her earlobe. "I was jealous when you took hold of Cole's hand. I was jealous when you let that piece of shit place his hands on you. I was jealous when you danced with him. I was jealous, Lisa, very jealous." He continued as he removed his mouth from her neck, leaning forward to stare directly into her eyes."So let me tell you the truth. I am a very possessive man, Lisa and I don't share what's mine.
