After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 107 Is he jealous?

Zhong Junhao shook his head and explained to me truthfully.

"About two minutes ago, President Jiang asked him to help you make the contact. Don't you know what's going on?"

Knowing the time, I had some guesses in my mind, and I explained to Zhong Junhao.

"There was a little incident just now, which may have caused Jiang Yichen to misunderstand."

My ambiguous words only confused Zhong Junhao further, and he continued to press for answers.

"What's wrong? Do you have a conflict with President Jiang?"

Seeing that he was relentlessly pursuing me, I decided to stop hiding it and speak frankly.

"It's probably because Duoduo called me 'Mom' just now, and he misunderstood and thought there was something inappropriate between us."

Zhong Junhao immediately understood, but didn't rush to answer me.

I shared my guesses and continued to add to them.

“In his eyes, the project’s success was achieved through improper means. He’s such a proud person, he definitely couldn’t stand it and would feel like he’d lost face.”

When Zhong Junhao heard my guess, he suddenly laughed heartily and asked me in return.

Why do you think that? Could it be because he's jealous?

Without even thinking, I immediately rejected that possibility.

Jiang Yichen is already engaged to Lin Nan, so how could he possibly be jealous of me?

Seeing that I denied it, Zhong Junhao didn't dwell on the answer anymore, but changed the subject.

"Miss Gu, Duoduo really likes you. If you could be Duoduo's mother, she would be very happy."

Before I could answer, Zhong Junhao deliberately asked Duoduo again.

"Duoduo, how about Aunt Gu be your mom from now on?"

Duoduo's eyes were filled with anticipation, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

“Great! I love Aunt Gu so much!”

I understood what Zhong Junhao meant, so I readily agreed.

"Since Duoduo likes me so much, can I be Duoduo's godmother from now on?"

Upon hearing my response, Zhong Junhao's expression immediately became subtle.

He hesitated several times, as if he wanted to say something, but when he met my gaze, he gave up.

I never imagined that Zhong Junhao would do this.

But to be honest, if it really comes down to choosing a partner, Jong Jun-ho is indeed a good choice.

He is excellent in every way, and even with a child, he would be more than a match for me now.

I should seize such a rare opportunity.

If she could be with Zhong Junhao, the Gu family's problems would surely be solved.

But for some reason, even when faced with such an outstanding person, I felt a sense of resistance.

Seeing my expression, his eyes suddenly became more serious. "Miss Gu, you know that's not what I meant. As long as you're willing to stay and be Duoduo's mother, I will definitely treat you well."

I instinctively took a step back, intentionally creating distance, and refused again, "Mr. Zhong, although I like Duoduo, the responsibility of being a mother is too great, and I cannot bear it."

They understood what I meant and stopped dwelling on it.

I said no more, and the matter was dropped.

When I got back, I went straight to Jiang Yichen to explain the situation.

But as soon as I reached the door of his room, Lin Nan blocked my way.

Without asking any questions, she directly told me to leave.

"Gu Mo, don't forget what you promised before. I don't want you to have any contact with Yi Chen anymore."

If it were any other time, I would have left immediately upon hearing her say that.

But not today. I have to clear up the misunderstanding no matter what.

The cooperation I worked so hard to secure cannot be canceled again.

"Move aside, I have something to say to him."

I didn't have a good attitude either, and I said to her in a cold voice.

Seeing that I was different from usual, Lin Nan became even more dissatisfied and questioned me directly.

"Gu Mo, what tricks have you played behind the scenes this time? Yi Chen insists on canceling the cooperation this time."

I looked at her, and I was just as annoyed.

"I came here today to clarify the cooperation details and get me in."

Lin Nan remained unmoved and shifted all the blame onto me.

"Things got worse because of you, what can you do?"

Not wanting to waste time with her, I pushed her away forcefully, intending to force my way in.

"If you want the cooperation to continue, then let me in."

Lin Nan was caught off guard and had no chance to stop me after I pushed her away.

I barged straight into Jiang Yichen's room.

Seeing my presumptuous actions, Jiang Yichen was still dissatisfied and frowned as he scolded me.

"Who let you in? This isn't a place for you."

I didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly explained to Jiang Yichen.

"Jiang Yichen, you really misunderstood my relationship with Zhong Junhao. This collaboration was only possible because I helped him cure his daughter."

After hearing what I said, Jiang Yichen's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but his complexion did not improve.

I see that explanations are ineffective, so I have to find another way.

I deliberately provoked Jiang Yichen.

“I have no romantic relationship with him. If you insist on canceling this collaboration, then I can only suspect that you are jealous.”

As expected, after I said those words, Jiang Yichen sneered and refuted me.

"Gu Mo, aren't you overestimating yourself? Why would I be jealous of you?"

I ignored his reply and continued talking.

"You insist on canceling the cooperation, what else could it be but jealousy? Stop being stubborn, I know it all."

Upon hearing my words, Jiang Yichen directly exposed my scheme.

"Gu Mo, you should know that reverse psychology won't work on me."

He saw through my plan, and I immediately felt dejected.

I don't know how to persuade him to continue the cooperation.

To my surprise, Jiang Yichen changed his mind the next second.

"Regardless of how you achieved this cooperation, I don't think the company's interests should be harmed because of you."

Hearing this, I felt a surge of hope and continued to explain.

"I am absolutely innocent with Zhong Junhao, we have never done anything."

Jiang Yichen selectively ignored what I said, staring straight at me, seemingly lost in thought.

I felt a little nervous under his gaze, afraid that he might change his mind at the last minute.

Jiang Yichen turned his gaze away and spoke casually.

"How things are between you and Zhong Junhao is your business. I won't give up this collaboration because of you."

Only then did I finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the situation was salvaged.

After temporarily finalizing the collaboration with Zhong Junchen, our group headed back to China.

As soon as I returned to the company, Lao Mo took me to the new office.

Looking at the place, which was more than twice the size of what it used to be, I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What's going on?"

Lao Mo congratulated me with a smile.

"This is the new office the company has arranged for you. You will be working here from now on."

As he spoke, he called over someone and patiently explained.

"This is your assistant, just call him Xiao Wang."

It was only then that I realized this was a promotion and salary increase benefit given to me by the company after I signed the contract.

Upon hearing the introduction, Xiao Wang greeted me very politely.

Looking at her youthful appearance, I also recalled my own early experiences.

I smiled gently and gestured for her to sit down.

I never imagined that one day I would become the top employee in the company, and even have a new office and an assistant.

Everything I have now is what I once watched Britney Spears have.
