[✓](1)Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

41-42

“Heh.”

Gu Zheng chuckled with an inexplicable meaning.

Black Tide… Qiao Xi… It turned out that Black Tide was Qiao Xi, and Qiao Xi was Black Tide.

Who would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, who was tossed to the countryside, would be a hacker? They were clearly two people who should have nothing to do with each other, yet she and he were strangely connected.

However, the smile on Gu Zheng’s face soon vanished. He recalled that Qiao Xi had sent him a message earlier asking him what it meant to like someone. How did he answer her then? Did he warn her not to like anyone?!

If he had a device that could allow him to time travel, he would definitely return to that moment and slap himself! What kind of stupid words did he say?!

When he found out that Black Tide was Qiao Xi, Gu Zheng was surprised. However, there was an indescribable and obscure feeling under his surprise.

In Gu Zheng’s heart, Qiao Xi was like a floating cloud. He kept having the feeling that she would suddenly float away at any time without leaving a trace. They had nothing to do with each other apart from their marriage certificate.

Now, however, he knew that Qiao Xi was Black Tide—the Black Tide he had known for many years. In Gu Zheng’s heart, his relationship with Qiao Xi was like a kite with a string or like a large tree that had taken root—steady and reliable.

…

When Song Shiyu received Gu Zheng’s call, he was uneasy. He knew that the things Qiao Xi had requested earlier were not to make Gu Zheng a gift. He kept feeling like there was a knife hanging over his head and it might just drop anytime soon.

Hence, he could not even tell the difference in Gu Zheng’s tone and apologized directly. “President, I’m sorry. I misunderstood Young Madam. If you want to hit or scold me, go ahead. As long as you don’t deduct my bonus for this year, you can punish me however you like.”

Gu Zheng knew that he was apologizing for the birthday gift, but without Song Shiyu, he might not have had the chance to discover Qiao Xi’s secret.

“Five minutes. Find Young Madam if you want to make up for your mistakes.”

Song Shiyu did not expect the punishment to be so simple. He agreed without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll do it right away!”

After the call ended, Song Shiyu finally realized that Gu Zheng’s tone was off… He did not sound angry but seemed to be in a good mood. Had he gone mad from anger?

Chapter 42: Help Collect The Bodies

After sending Gu Zheng his birthday present, Qiao Xi was prepared to leave the internet cafe.
