Chapter 13: Permanent Non-Cooperation
Hearing the furious voice on the other end of the call, Gu Qixiao could only hang up and head home.
As for Song Xuan, who was still raging nearby, he simply left her for Assistant Li to deal with.
Song Xuan, who initially thought Gu Qixiao was still outside the door, continued throwing things in the hospital room. When there was nothing left to throw, she peered sneakily toward the doorway.
"He's really not here?!"
Realizing Gu Qixiao's figure was nowhere to be seen, Song Xuan plopped down on the bed to rest.
Clutching the phone she hadn't managed to throw, her gaze filled with indignation.
"I've been acting for so long, for what..."
With Gu Qixiao gone, the once-chaotic room grew quiet, letting Assistant Li, who was outside the door, finally relax a bit.
Meanwhile, Gu Qixiao was driving alone back to the Gu Mansion. He rarely came back to the main residence, as a workaholic who spent most of his time at the office or on flights.
Even though there was a marital home, for various reasons, he hadn't lived there prior to the divorce. As for the main mansion, he hadn't crossed paths with Ji Yu there either.
After all, today it was Mr. Gu who summoned him home. Although Song Xuan's confession earlier had left him feeling irritated, he could only endure it.
