The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Chapter 177: Time-critical Mission

Gu Chenyi knew that it was impossible between him and Mu Huan even if she were to leave his uncle’s side. Nevertheless, even after days of thinking about this matter, he just could not get over the fact that she had become his aunt and that he would have to see and call her “Aunt” time and again.

His decision, therefore, remained unchanged; that was, to make her leave his uncle!

He ultimately could not bear to resort to harsh methods to deal with the lass. As such, he could only do such things.

Eventually, his disobedience finally got him a glance from his uncle, whose eyes darkened meaningfully as he said, “Alright, you stay behind to take care of me, then.”

The chap then approached Mu Huan in a victorious manner, which prompted the corner of her lips to twitch slightly.

Right then, Bao Junyan reached out and stroked his wife’s head. “Be good and go home to sleep.”

At the thought that she could spend the time searching for proof of her innocence, she obediently stood up. “Alright, I’ll head home, then.”

“Uncle, I’ll go send Aunt off.” Chenyi immediately followed after her upon seeing that she was about to leave.

The man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he watched his nephew dashing out of the room.

Right in front of the elevator.

Gu Chenyi grabbed hold of Mu Huan, who was about to leave.

Being in a foul mood, she instinctively shook his hand off and growled in irritation, “You’re a real nuisance, Gu Chenyi!”

Can’t he just stay away and pretend not to see me?

“I heard that you may be cast as a negative example by the school as a warning to the students for cheating and be put on disciplinary probation.”

“What does it have to do with you?”

“Mu Huan!”

“Hurry back and take good care of your uncle! Don’t come poking your nose into my affairs again!”

He could not resist saying, “I’m just concerned about you!”

“I don’t need your concern!” She truly did not know how on earth she used to find the guy to be a pretty good person when he was clearly just a weirdo!

Despite him detesting her and him not believing her words at every turn, he would claim, time and again, that he was concerned about her. Should she not accept it, he would then put on a hurt look on his face as though she had treated his sincerity as trash.

Sheesh, I really need no such concern from him!

“You—!” Gu Chenyi hated himself for his inconsistent and contradictory behavior, which he knew made him look stupid, but he did not want to behave that way, either!

He just could not get a hold of himself...

After Mu Huan left, he stood outside for a long while before finally entering the ward again.

As soon as he stepped past the doorway, his uncle tossed two books at him.

“Read those two books. I’ll do a spot check on Monday and, if you can’t pass it, I’ll send you to a boarding school abroad.”

Gu Chenyi: “...!!!”

How am I going to finish reading these two thick books in just two days?!

“Uncle...”

He wanted to say something, but the man already had his head dipped as he focused on his business matters.

He knew that it was futile for him to say anything more. Besides, his uncle surely had his ways of persuading his parents into agreeing to send him abroad once he had decided to do so, regardless of his protests!

Hence, he wasted no time and hastily sat down to read those books instead of trying to dissuade the man.

I’m not going abroad, let alone be sent to a boarding school and have my freedom restricted!

On this clear, refreshing, and autumnal Saturday where the world looked so beautiful with the bluish sky hanging overhead, the Mus welcomed a distinguished guest to their home.

“What prompted this visit, Young Master Long?” The reason for Matriarch Mu feigning innocence about the reason for his visit was because Long Feiting had not reacquainted with Mu Kexin yet.

“How can I not visit Grandma Mu when I’m here studying in Yun Cheng?” The lad presented a gift to her, which she hastily reached out for.

“You’re too kind, Young Master Long.”

The Longs had a subsidiary company that was engaged in medical equipment production, and most of the equipment used in the Mu family’s hospital were procured from them. Hence, there was some sort of connection between the two families.
