Chapter 13: Young Madam, Little Joker

Yu Xiuli was too lazy to speak, constantly handling documents on her phone with quick hands.

However, the bodyguard beside her couldn't help but speak up.

"Young Madam, the boss has designed this brand for her own wear exclusively."

"That's some talent... not bad, you," Gu Xia said with a face full of excitement.

Before Yu Xiuli could speak, this girl's mind had already leapt elsewhere, recalling a piece of gossip from long ago.

"Hey? Dude... I heard that at a charity dinner a year ago, movie star Jiang Chuchu took quite a fancy to you… aggressively threw herself at you for some 'intimacy'… and then she was thrown into the sea by your people. Is that true or was it just for show?"

Yu Xiuli's hand holding the phone trembled slightly before she lifted her head to meet Gu Xia's gossip-filled face.

Gu Xia suddenly felt she might have overstepped.

Was she going to anger the big BOSS?

But then again, Yu Xiuli suddenly laughed.

They say that when a person with high attractiveness smiles, they can knock out the whole world in a second…

To keep herself from falling into his trap, Gu Xia pretended to calmly meet Yu Xiuli's gaze while covertly pinching her own thigh as a reminder.

"If you're so curious about that incident, why don't we recreate history? After all, there's an ocean below, isn't there?" Yu Xiuli raised an eyebrow.

Gu Xia lowered her head, clenched her fists, and coughed lightly.

"Cough, that won't be necessary, too much trouble... I believe President Yu is decent and selective, not just any seductive slut will do, haha."

With Gu Xia saying this, even the two imposing bodyguards by Yu Xiuli's side couldn't help but laugh.

They had thought that when the big boss got married, the partner would definitely be a lady of high society, knowledgeable and sensible, with distinguished elegance.

But now looking at this Young Madam… they weren't clear about her background, but her character… was undeniably that of a little jokester.

Originally, they thought that after getting off the plane, they would first go for a meal, but unexpectedly, they were led straight to the marriage registration office.

The foreign procedures weren't so complicated, and with passports in hand plus 55 US dollars, they were done.

Holding the English marriage certificate, Gu Xia took a look and then rudely stuffed it into her bag.

"Yu Xiuli, I'm a bit hungry, let's have food first."

After securing the marriage certificate, Gu Xia stated directly.

"You should now call me husband."

Having married and registered, Mr. Yu was clearly full of confidence.

"Sure, I can call you husband, but that'll require a name-changing fee," Gu Xia extended her hand.

"All you care about is money, isn't it?"

"Nope, and my dad."

Yu Xiuli: …

Yu Xiuli couldn't be bothered to deal with her request for a name-changing fee and simply turned and walked away.

Gu Xia followed closely behind, taking quick little old lady steps—after all, she was unfamiliar with the place and didn't want to get lost.

Plus, her English wasn't good, unlike back home.

Perhaps because of Gu Xia's earlier suggestion, ten minutes later,

they found themselves at the top-floor breakfast restaurant of a seven-star hotel.

Gu Xia was a true foodie, and she bowed her head to dig into the steamed buns.

Yu Xiuli, on the other hand, was full after only a few bites.

Then she spent the whole time speaking English on the phone, which Gu Xia didn't quite understand.

Twenty minutes later,

He looked at her. "Have you eaten enough?"

"Yeah."

"Come to the casino with me," Yu Xiuli's tone carried an air of undeniable authority.

"I want to go back to the hotel and sleep, I'm tired," she said, lazily rubbing her eyes.

"That's not possible."

"And why not?"

Yu Xiuli looked at Gu Xia and spoke deliberately, "The ninth clause of the marriage agreement states that the wife must accompany the husband at all social events that require the presence of both spouses."

"But I don't think going to a casino counts as a joint spousal activity? A husband who gambles with his wife is not a good husband," Gu Xia argued, her arms crossed.

When it came to wordplay, she had never been afraid of anyone from childhood to adulthood and that contract?

Although Yu Xiuli's legal team must have reviewed it, and the terms were definitely in that guy's favor,

Gu Xia wasn't a pushover either; finding loopholes, who couldn't?
