Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

“No matter what plans Duoduo has, she still has to acknowledge me as her grandfather. This lass is indeed intelligent. Otherwise, why would I like her back then? Now, she’s getting more and more intelligent. However, Xiaoyu, did you notice that she seems to know Gu Zhengrong? Xiaoyu, what do you think?”

Mr Li’s eyes shone as he looked at Tang Xiaoyu and slowly said, “Xiaoyu, it’s really not that I want to say this, but I know that you’ve worked hard enough. You’ve also hosted this event well, but you’re still lacking something.”

“What’s lacking?”

Tang Xiaoyu did not know what Mr Li was going to say, so she looked into his eyes and continued asking, “Mr Li, didn’t you say that you wanted to talk about Duo Duo? Why did you bring up the proposal again?”

This was not the only thing that puzzled Tang Xiaoyu. In her heart, Gu Zhengrong seemed to be more useful to Mr Li, while Tang Xiaoyu, no matter how hard she tried, seemed to lack something.

“Xiaoyu, I’ve seen the proposal that you’ve made. I’ve also marked out the missing content for you. This folder contains the information you need, as well as the matters regarding Duo Duo’s aunt. I’ve also arranged for you to have more time to work properly in the future. Even if you want to do it, since you’ve already achieved what you have today, I can only make you more outstanding and become the most outstanding woman in Chinatown. Isn’t this what you want to do?”

Mr Li reached his hand out from behind his back and handed the folder to Tang Xiaoyu as he continued, “Xiaoyu, no matter what you do, those who only want to succeed will definitely succeed, but those who are unable to set their hearts firm will not necessarily be able to achieve the status that everyone envies.”

Mr Li spoke seriously and Tang Xiaoyu listened attentively.

“Mr Li, I understand. Thank you for the document. I will read it properly.”

“Okay, why don’t you go to work first? I’ll come and see Duo Duo.”

Mr Li nodded and looked at Duo Duo behind Tang Xiaoyu. His eyes were filled with smiles as if he was not the one who had just spoken.

“Okay, see you at dinner.”

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the folder in her hand, nodded and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Mr Li’s words were not without reason. Tang Xiaoyu indeed felt that there was a loophole in her proposal. If not, Gu Zhengrong would not have found the loophole at the meeting yesterday. Tang Xiaoyu, who was standing at the door of her room, looked at the documents in her hands. They were heavy, as though they were not simple pieces of paper.

“Miss, there’s a guest downstairs looking for you. Do you want to go down and take a look?”

Tang Xiaoyu had just flipped open two documents when the auntie knocked on the door and asked softly, “Miss, are you inside? Someone is looking for you outside.”

“I’m here. Who’s looking for me?”

Tang Xiaoyu frowned. She could not think of anyone who would come to Mr Li’s mansion to look for her at this hour. She also could not understand who would ask the auntie at home to personally ask if she wanted to meet them.

Other than him and Gu Zhengrong, Tang Xiaoyu could not think of anyone else.

“It’s the previous gentleman who came to our house. He said his surname is Gu.”

The Auntie did not dare to say it as she looked at Tang Xiaoyu timidly.

“Alright, I’ll go downstairs to see him. Auntie, let him in.”

The night gradually turned cold. Tang Xiaoyu walked into the room to get a shawl and was about to leave when she saw the auntie still standing at the door. “What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”

“Miss, this Sir wants you to go out and tell him yourself. He doesn’t seem willing to come into our villa.”

The auntie felt awkward and looked at Tang Xiaoyu unhappily.

She really did not know what Gu Zhengrong was up to. He was the one who wanted to come in, yet Tang Xiaoyu had to go out to meet him.

“Alright, I got it, Auntie. Don’t worry. I’ll go out and see what this Mr Gu is up to. Besides, our Li family isn’t afraid of him. Don’t worry about anything. I’ll go.”

“But Miss, it’s already so late. It’s not safe for you to go out alone.”

Tang Xiaoyu choked on her words. She did not expect the aunties at home to be so concerned about her life and safety. Unlike when she was alone at home, the nanny she hired was unwilling to stay a minute longer. It was as if Tang Xiaoyu was a beggar that no one wanted to see.

Just as Tang Xiaoyu was in a daze, the auntie looked into her eyes and asked curiously, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

“Ah, no, no. I just thought of something. You’re right. It’s not safe for a woman like me to go out with a man in the middle of the night. I should bring something to defend myself. For example, that alarm is good.”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and took another alarm from the drawer before walking out.

The auntie finally smiled at Tang Xiaoyu and continued, “Miss, if anything happens to you, I guarantee that I’ll be the first to rush over. If Mr Gu is up to no good, just press the alarm button. I guarantee that I’ll be here immediately.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll make sure I come back safely. Auntie, don’t worry. I’m not a child. Take good care of Duo Duo and Mr Li. I’m fine.”

Tang Xiaoyu smiled as her eyes sparkled. The crystal chandelier in the living room on the second floor shone brightly in her eyes.

“How can it not be? Miss, you’re a member of our family. If anything happens, I won’t even dare to see Mr Li.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. If there’s anything wrong, I’ll come back quickly. You should be at ease now.”

“Okay, Miss. Be careful. I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

The auntie nodded obediently and looked at Tang Xiaoyu as if she were looking at her own daughter.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled and walked to the door under the auntie’s gaze. As expected, Gu Zhengrong was standing at the Li family’s main entrance. When he saw her walking toward him, his body glowed under the light.

“Xiaoyu, you’re finally willing to meet me privately.”

Seeing Tang Xiaoyu walk toward him, Gu Zhengrong also walked up to her. His voice became soft and sorrowful, and a hint of gentleness flashed past his eyes.
