CEO, Release Me

"Er ~ As for Big Bro's, Hong Shen said that he will be given a special gift." Jane Chu looked at Gu Yuan, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, and said.

Gu Yuan sneered and said, "I don't need any present, I have nothing to like."

"Yeah, I just don't know what Big Brother likes, so I chose a gift just for you." Gu Chen, who had been sitting quietly at the side for a long time, finally spoke.

"Then, Hong Shen, you sure are considerate." Gu Yuan appeared polite on the surface, but in reality, he wished that Gu Chen would never be able to return to the Gu Clan. If that was the case, then all of the Gu Clan's assets belonged to Gu Yuan.

As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a box from his pocket and brought it to Gu Yuan.

"Yes, it's for you. Open it up and take a look. I can assure you that you'll like it." Gu Chen looked at Gu Yuan with a smile on his face. Gu Yuan couldn't tell what Gu Chen was up to either.

Gu Yuan looked incredulously at Gu Chen before carefully opening the box.

When Gu Yuan saw the contents of the box, his expression was one of shock, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"How is it, big brother? Do you still like it?" Gu Chen smiled and returned to his seat.

"Ha ~ This dagger..." "Why are you here?" Gu Yuan said in a flustered manner.

"That's a long story, it was given to me by a person. Previously, I didn't realize that this dagger was yours, but later on I found it within my expectations. I have seen this dagger before, look carefully, isn't it yours, brother?" I brought it back for you. " Gu Chen said with a smile, showing no signs of anger.

"I told you, this dagger has been lost for a long time. I really have to thank you. Gu Chen, you've managed to find my favorite dagger." Gu Yuan also smiled as he spoke.

"No need for thanks. This time, you keep it well. If I pick up your things again, I won't return it to you." Gu Chen's face revealed traces of viciousness when he said this.

Gu Chen then said, "Alright, Jane Chu, let's go back and rest. We've been tired for the entire day. Mom, Dad, you should rest early as well. Jane Chu and I won't disturb you two any longer."

As he spoke, Gu Chen held Jian Chen's hand and left the old mansion.

In the car, Jane asked Gu Chen curiously, "That dagger …" "When did you pick it up? How come I didn't know that you were with me all day?"

"This dagger, it's the one that the thief is holding. It's also the dagger that caused me to hold this dagger." Gu Chen solemnly said.

"What?" This dagger belongs to your big brother? " It was clear that Jane had just found out and understood some things.

"If that's the case, then that thief isn't a simple thief. Since he's holding your brother's dagger, then …" Jane thought, then she covered her mouth in shock.

"Yeah, just like you thought, otherwise that thief wouldn't have turned around and cut me again. He could have run away, but he didn't, and most thieves only ran away, as long as they didn't get caught. And the person we met, he obviously wasn't a thief, but he was trying to injure me." Gu Chen sighed and said meaningfully.

"Oh my god, how did you find out that the dagger was from your brother?"

I remember when I was young, I saw his dagger and liked it, so I insisted on snatching it from him. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand, so my father came over and gave me a slap. I only found out later that this dagger was given to me by Gu Yuan's mother.

"So that's how it is. Then why did he let you be injured? Your relationship isn't good …" Is that so? "

Jane was filled with curiosity. She finally understood that the Gu family, which people were envious of on the surface, actually had a lot of dirty water in it. Normal people couldn't bear living with such a family.

Even though he was rich, even though he was famous and didn't get popular with many people, he didn't live a happy life.

"Mm …" Indeed, I know exactly what Gu Yuan did to me. I just wanted to remind him about this matter. If he attacks me again, don't blame me for being impolite. " Gu Chen sighed.

Jane Chu drew in a breath of cold air, as if that inhumane and arrogant Gu Chen had returned, just like the Gu Chen she had just met.

"Alright, stop thinking about these things. I know why you were hurt while hiding it from them. Your arm is moving too much today. Does it hurt?" It suddenly occurred to him that Gu Chen's wounds had yet to fully heal. He wondered if the movements he had done today had affected his wounds.

Gu Chen glanced at Jane who was worried about him, and suddenly let out a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, it's alright. I know what I'm doing."

After listening to Gu Chen's words, Jane did not say anything more. Now, she knew that Gu Chen was not having a good time in this house.

Only Gu Chen's mother treated him well. It seemed that he would have to treat Gu Chen's mother better in the future.

"Oh right, Jane Chu, do you want to work at our company?"

"Your Gu family's company?" Jane asked in surprise.

"Right."

"No, no, no, I don't want to go. I already knew that you and I were married at your Gu family's banquet last time." "If I go to your Gu family's company, I don't want them to keep an eye on me and gossip about me every day." Jane said with a pout.

"Who cares what they say. Everyone in the company knows that you're a member of my Gu family, so no one dares to do anything to you."

"Then I definitely can't go. It's like I'm relying on you. Just relax, I'm only temporarily resigning my position in Lu Corporation. I might as well work there."

"I don't want you to work at Lu's company. You should come to our Gu family." Gu Chen had a solemn expression on his face as he said this.

"Why? I have nothing to do with Lu. Even if there's anything, it has nothing to do with you." Jane didn't know why she said such words. Perhaps she just wanted Gu Chen to be jealous of her?

Indeed, Gu Chen was jealous of Lu Sheng.

"Jane Chu, you are not allowed to have any intimate contact with Lu. I can see that he is interested in you." Gu Chen said angrily as he looked at Jian Chu.

Jane Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Gu Chen was very surprised that she would laugh even at such a serious time.

"Can you be more serious about this matter? You're still smiling."

"Then what do you want me to do, cry, anyway I won't go to your Gu family's company. Even if I don't care about the opinions of others, I don't want to have anything to do with your Gu family. Your Gu family's water is too deep, I'm afraid I'll accidentally drown if I fall inside." Jane stopped laughing and said seriously to Gu Chen.

"So you've been working at Lu's company? You want him to watch over you everyday? " Gu Chen said angrily.

"I don't care what he thinks of me. Anyway, I'm going to work there. Besides, you and I don't have any real marriage relationship. Do you even want to interfere with me working?"

"I — I'm not interfering with your work. I just don't want you to work at Lu's company. "I …"

"Don't say anything. Anyway, I won't leave that job. I won't go against the contract, so you can rest assured." After all, it was because of Gu Chen that she broke up with Lu Sheng.

Although she didn't have the same passion towards Lu Li as before, she still couldn't forget about him now.

"Alright, I won't say anything else. Don't be angry, I don't have any other intentions."

"Mm …" "I know." For some reason, the atmosphere between the two of them felt a little weird. Suddenly, the laughter became quiet.

Once they arrived at Gu Chen's villa, Jane locked herself in her bedroom.

Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction. Whether it was because Gu Chen mentioned Lu, or because of his selfishness and domineering attitude, she did not know.

Gu Chen also felt that what he had said was too excessive. He should have believed Jane Chu. Since she had already promised him, and they had a contract, Gu Chen shouldn't have been so sensitive to the thought of Jane Chu being taken away by someone else.

Gu Chen thought for a moment and decided that it would be better if he explained things to Jian Chen in case there were any estrangement between the two.

As he thought of this, Gu Chen knocked on Jian Chen's door.

"Jane Chu, if you open the door, I have something to say to you."

Jane reluctantly opened the door for Gu Chen.

"It's already late at night. Why can't you say anything tomorrow? I'm about to sleep." She couldn't even control her temper a little bit.

"Sorry, I … I know I'm a bit petty and know that I'm very selfish, but I just can't bear to see other men being interested in you." Gu Chen seriously looked at Jian Chu as he spoke.

Jane also looked at Gu Chen. She suddenly felt that this man couldn't have fallen for her, right? She found it hilarious.

"So ~ Sorry, I won't interfere in your private life anymore. Please don't let me ~ ~"

"Are you jealous?" Jane laughed and suddenly said this.

"Jealous? "I … I'm not jealous. You're overthinking it." Gu Chen suddenly became nervous.

"You're still saying no, but your face is red." She didn't know why, but the anger she felt towards Gu Chen vanished without a trace.

"Jane Chu, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous. I'm not going to tell you anyways. Just go wherever you want to work. Um, go to bed early, I'm going back." Saying so, Gu Chen hurriedly left Jane's bedroom.

At this moment, Gu Chen was very nervous. He didn't know why, but the moment he heard the word jealousy in Jane's voice, he became so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
