Page 425 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

...

After everyone had left the conference room, Secretary Zhou approached respectfully.

"Mr. Gu, we need to head to the airport now..."

"Mm..."

"Secretary Zhou, give me the phone."

"What?"

When Gu Mochen asked for his own phone, Secretary Zhou spoke with a bit of embarrassment.

"Okay..."

Secretary Zhou handed the phone to Gu Mochen, which displayed messages exchanged with his wife.

Honey, I love you. Business trips must be so exhausting, I really feel for you, please take care... Missing you, missing you, missing you... Honey, here’s a kiss for you.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen hadn’t expected to open the phone to a text message and coughed awkwardly, while Secretary Zhou’s face turned even redder.

Emma...

He had feared this, and now Mr. Gu had seen it.

"Well... hehe, we’ve been married for a while, but we’re still so lovey-dovey, just like new lovers, you know. Mr. Gu, to be honest... Every time my wife sends me these messages, my heart just keeps thumping non-stop."

Gu Mochen: "..."

Was this a roundabout way of showing off their love?

Gu Mochen darkened his gaze and feigned indifference as he asked.

"So she sends them to you proactively?"

"Of course... My wife, she really clings to me... can’t even stand a minute apart.

.. Often tells me how much her heart longs.

.. You know, men like it when their women act all sweet and cutesy around them, and every time she does that, I really don’t feel like going on business trips.

.. This damned rule... It’s just inhumane. "

Secretary Zhou became more animated as he spoke.

Realizing that he might have said too much, he subconsciously covered his lips with his large hand.

"Hehe... Mr. Gu... Please pretend I was just talking nonsense. I love going on business trips, indeed, the heavens and earth can bear witness to that."

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen raised an eyebrow at Secretary Zhou, who stood beside him; he couldn’t deny that some of what Zhou said struck a chord.

Men do love to see their women be affectionate with them.

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes...

Yet when he sent Jian Ran messages, she never replied.

It was the same when he went on a business trip to France last time, and today as well.

"Let me pose a hypothetical situation, and it’s not about me..."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

Why did he feel a sense of ’thieves protesting their innocence’?

But... whatever Mr. Gu says goes.

Secretary Zhou nodded with utmost seriousness.

"Alright, Mr. Gu, please go ahead..."

"Mm... If a man actively sends a woman a text message, but the woman never responds, what should he do?"

Secretary Zhou: "..."

This...

If he couldn’t tell that Gu Mochen was talking about his own story, then he must be blind.

Secretary Zhou felt increasingly disheveled, managing to squeeze out a smile.

"Mr. Gu... you see... in my opinion, this woman must be busy."

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes and countered, "Why do you say that?"

"Because... if she’s too busy to see the messages, that’s why she wouldn’t have replied."

"That excuse isn’t valid because she never replies."

"Cough, cough, well then... we can’t just say that the woman doesn’t love the man, can we?"
