Chapter 9: Can't I Even See My Own Husband Once?

"President Yu... Miss Gu has already signed everything, and all the items have been given to her. Tomorrow morning, she'll be able to fly with you. As for the contract, I'm taking a picture and sending it to you on WeChat right now."

Yu Xiuli didn't say a word, looking at the photo Meng Fan sent on the phone.

Glancing at her sloppy handwriting, he rubbed his temples, "Was she drunk when she wrote this?"

Meng Fan barely suppressed a chuckle and had to explain for Gu Xia.

"I saw Miss Gu writing very carefully."

Indeed, Yu Xiuli could imagine what Gu Xia looked like when she was signing earnestly.

But that was just it, even though she wrote so earnestly, her handwriting was still like this. What kind of woman had he married?

However, this didn't affect his mood, and Yu Xiuli put down the contract.

"Put the contract away, in my drawer."

"Okay, President Yu. Oh, by the way, President Yu, about the matter you promised Miss Gu earlier... about kicking the Du Family out of the competition... What do you think...?"

"You contact Old Dai and leave it to him," Yu Xiuli said.

"Alright, I'll go talk to President Dai then."

After Meng Fan collected the documents and was about to hang up, he heard Yu Xiuli ask, "What kind of person do you think... Gu Xia is?"

After much thought, Meng Fan said hesitantly, "I think... the Young Madam is a bit mischievous. You might have some worrying to do in the future, President Yu."

Meng Fan was right. Any girl who dares to strip off her uniform and kick the Du Family's young miss in the butt in front of so many people isn't ordinary.

After hanging up, Yu Xiuli's lips curled up slightly. Did he not know the person he had set his sights on?

It was easy to take leave because Dad was sick. After the team understood the situation, the boss promptly approved a week's leave. Gu Xia, with a heavy heart, took care of Dad in the hospital for a day. After finding out it was nothing serious and arranging for a good neighbor to help, she lied to Dad, saying she was going on a business trip to the south for a few days. She would rather die than admit she was going to get married.

The next morning, Gu Xia was waiting downstairs early with her suitcase in hand.

The driver that Meng Fan had arranged picked up Gu Xia ahead of time and took her to the airport.

Gu Xia had been wondering why they hadn't prepared a plane ticket for her.

Later, she realized she had thought too much; poverty had limited her imagination.

Why would they need a plane ticket when there was a private jet waiting for her?

"Young Madam, I can just take you this far. Have a pleasant journey."

Meng Fan personally took Gu Xia to the private plane and then arranged her in the luxurious sofa at the back.

After boarding the plane, she thought she would immediately meet the legendary boss of the VO consortium.

But she was wrong again. The plane had two cabins, and she wasn't in the same one as him at all.

It wasn't until takeoff that Gu Xia realized this was a lonely voyage...

"Um... can you come here for a moment?" Gu Xia waved her hand to get the attention of a nearby flight attendant.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The foreign flight attendant, a handsome guy, came over with a cheerful smile and very politely.

"I wanted to ask, where is Yu Xiuli?"

"President Yu is in the front cabin."

"Then, can I see him? I want to speak with him for a moment," Gu Xia still worried, not sure if Yu Xiuli would handle the Du Family's matter even though Meng Fan had promised. She wanted to confirm it again.

"I need to check on that, please wait a moment."

Two minutes later, the foreign flight attendant returned with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, President Yu is currently in a meeting and said he's not available... If you're hungry or thirsty, you can have a meal or some juice first, and then have a rest."

"He won't see me? So what you're saying is... I can't even see my own husband?" Gu Xia was somewhat surprised; hadn't they signed an agreement and got married?

Even though they didn't have a foundation of love, they were still spouses. Why wouldn't he even see her?

"I'm really sorry," the flight attendant said, with an expression of difficulty and apology.

"Pretentious capitalist... Tell him, if he dares, to never see me, better not see me for the whole year. That would spare me the annoyance."

After speaking, Gu Xia slammed the cabin door shut... seething with frustration.
