My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 417: Golden Bachelor

Thirty-year-old men aren’t that old, right?

in today’s society, there are plenty of forty-something single men who proudly call themselves “eligible bachelors”.

However, compared to a twenty-year-old college student like her who hadn’t even graduated yet, Huo Jingshen indeed seemed a little older…

Moreover, every time he dressed very maturely, most of his outfits were in black, white, and grey, and he seldom laughed or joked in public. At first glance, he looked like an accomplished city gentleman.

So Su Wanwan spent a long time searching through her wardrobe and finally selected a black dress that she had bought while shopping with Huo’s grandmother.

The design was simple and elegant, the fabric was stretchy, it hugged her body nicely, and the lace details around the shoulders and hem made it appear mature and graceful.

She let down her long, black curly hair, applied a bit of light makeup, and wore

the popular girly strawberry-colored lipstick.

Carrying her small bag, Su Wanwan arrived at the campus gate in such attire.

As soon as she got into the car and took off her down jacket, Huo Jingshen immediately looked over at her.

Firstly, he noticed the semi-transparent lace on her shoulders. The white skin of the young girl forthwith appeared luminous. Her fluffy curls loosely lay on her shoulders, highlighting her delicate and lustrous neck. Her powdered oval face looked exquisite and tender, seemingly with no pores at all.

The hint of red on her lips contrasted against the strong impact of black and

white, serving as the finishing touch.

Su Wanwan thought, “Why isn’t he driving?”

As she turned her head, she saw him gazing at her intently…

Following his gaze, she looked down.

What the hell!

“What are you looking at!” Su Wanwan quickly raised her hand to shield

herself.

Huo Jingshen nonchalantly averted his gaze and cleared his throat, “When did

you buy this dress?”

How come he hadn’t seen her wear it before?

Su Wanwan hummed a reply, “Grandma bought it for me.

Huo Jingshen raised his brows.

He surely needed to have a talk with his grandmother about why she bought such a tight-fitting dress. Was she trying to tease him?

“Does it look good?” Su Wanwan intentionally asked him.

“Mmm.” Huo Jingshen’s voice was deep and husky, as if he were whispering sweet nothings, “Baby, you’ re so beautiful, everything looks good on you.”

“Psh! You smooth talker!”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Seeing the girl’s subtle smile, he felt a little weak in the knees. Finally, Mu

Shang started the car and they set off.

Along the way, Su Wanwan brought up Lu Zixi’s matter and finally asked him, “I watched the live broadcast. Her fans say they forgive her, so she probably won’t have to pay the spokesperson so much money now, right?

Huo Jingshen didn’t comment.

The impact of Lu Zixi’s live streaming was indeed immediate.

Until yesterday afternoon before the live broadcast, Lu Zixi was still an immature TV star who had a child underage and lacked proper judgement.

Now she had transformed into the most tragic female artist of the year, who was forced to work for her father’s debt, and gained numerous fans overnight.

And those sponsors weren’t fools. The most valuable thing in the entertainment industry was popularity. In the era of fan economy, as long as she had fan support, Lu Zixi could instantly become innocent again. Now that she and Deng Anqi had become the focus of attention, why wouldn’t the sponsors be happy?

As for Gu Huai’an, the boss, he naturally became the biggest winner.

This party tonight was his so-called “appreciation dinner .

Half an hour later, Huo Jingshen brought Su Wanwan to the mansion.

They were in the same “Fire Emperor” private room as before, but the owner of the room was still in the hospital.

When Su Wanwan pushed open the door of the private room, she was stunned.

Even Huo Jingshen seemed slightly surprised.

Because in addition to Gu Huai’an, there was surprisingly another young girl in

the room.

The handsome young man was sitting on the sofa, dressed in a dark three- piece suit, which made him look refined and chic, like an elegant nobleman from a wealthy family.

The girl was sitting on his lap, wearing the school uniform- a white blouse and red pleated skirt, with white leggings and black boots.

When she saw someone enter, the girl’s sparkling eyes were filled with

curiosity.

Thin lips parted, Gu Huai’an’s baritone was warm and captivating, “You’re

here.”

Huo Jingshen and Su Wanwan walked in and sat down. “Haohao, sit on the sofa yourself.” Gu Huai’an instructed with narrowing eyes. But the little girl called Haohao, remained clasped around his neck, refusing to let go.

Her big eyes were staring at Su Wanwan; her face was pretty and innocent, yet there was an evident look of caution.

Su Wanwan smiled, “Is this your daughter? She s so cute.

Huo Jingshen: “…”

Gu Huai’an: “…”

Gu Haohao clearly said, “Sister, I’m not Brother An’s daughter, I’m his sister.”

Su Wanwan awkwardly chuckled, “Sorry, I thought…

“I’m thirteen this year.” Gu Haohao added.

“…” Su Wanwan wanted to say she really didn’t look like it.

The little girl in her school uniform, with her petite figure, looked like an eight or nine-year-old girl, sitting so intimately on Gu Huai’an’s lap… She instinctively thought they were father and daughter.

After all, Huo Jingshen’s age was evident, and his friends were not young either. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had a daughter of eight or nine years old.

Turns out she’s his sister?

Huo Jingshen whispered into her ear, “The little sister he adopted.”

“Uh…”

Looking at the little girl again, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a bit strange.

An adopted sister?

That means there’s no blood relation. If that’s the case, it’s really okay for them to be so intimate with each other now that she’s thirteen?

Gu Huai’an seemed unperturbed. He settled Haohao on the couch next to him and began to explain, “I thought Sister-in-law was too young and wouldn’t have much in common with us, so I brought Haohao over. You two can play together.”

Su Wanwan was somewhat speechless, “I’m twenty.

Huo Jingshen said, “Good on you for being thoughtful. You should indeed thank your sister-in-law.”

Gu Huai’an:”…”

Suppressing the urge to hit someone, he slowly curled his thin lips, half­smiling, half-teasing, “So, Sister-in-law, have you decided on your future job?”

Su Wanwan let out an “ah”.

Future job?

Isn’t it a bit early to be worrying about that?

“Sister-in-law, you’re studying journalism, right? That’s exactly what my company specializes in. If you’re interested, you can look for me when the time comes.” Gu Huai’an said, extending a business card with his slender hand.

Su Wanwan quickly accepted it with both hands and looked at the shiny, gold letters on it.

CEO of Huanyu Media Group: Gu Huai’an.

Huanyu Media?

Su Wanwan immediately asked, “Are you the boss of Huanyu Media?”

“What about it?” Gu Huai’an raised an eyebrow, “Apart from Lu Zixi, do you know other artists?”

“I have a friend, his name is Ye Qitian.”

Upon hearing this name, Huo Jingshen’s brow furrowed.

The next second.

“He’s a bit silly, a bit of an airhead, not very intelligent or sociable.”

Huo Jingshen:”…”

Gu Huai’an: “…”

“But he’s a pretty good guy.” Su Wanwan grinned, “He just filmed a web movie,

I forgot what it’s called.”

Gu Huai’an looked at Huo Jingshen, stretching the word, “Frien…d?”

Su Wanwan nodded without suspicion, Yes.

Gu Huai’an raised an eyebrow, “I see.”

Sister-in-law probably wants me to take good care of him, right?

Who knew, Su Wanwan continued, “I know him too well. He’s impulsive, single-minded, can’t handle interpersonal relationships, and is absolutely not suitable for the entertainment industry. He’ll get the short end of the stick. His family is very rich, and I’m guessing his parents wouldn’t want him mingling in this circle. Sooner or later, he’ll have to go back and take over the company. So, could you find a way to fire him on the sly, and send him back to Los Angeles?”

Gu Huai’an: “…”

So blatant about getting someone fired in front of their boss?

Huo Jingshen, however, looked amused, “Your sister-in-law has a point. You know what to do, right?”

Gu Huai’an again: “…”

So what if she’ s two years older?

Having friends like these really lowered his standing…

The private room door was suddenly knocked twice, and a waiter came in, “Mr. Gu, may we serve the dishes now?”

Gu Huai’an gathered his emotions and nodded in agreement.

A few waiters pushed in food carts, and soon, the dining table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes.

The lighting in the private room was also turned up a bit, and Huo Jingshen and Gu Huai’an ate while chatting, covering typical men’s topics like the stock market, bank interest rates, national policies, city planning…

She didn’t understand any of it.

Halfway through her meal, Su Wanwan suddenly felt her sleeve being gently tugged twice.
