Chapter 285: Recovering Losses
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao quickly picked up the call. “Brother? Is the company not busy anymore?”
Hearing Gu Xiao’s voice, Ji Chen’s lips curled up slightly. “Shouldn’t I be the one to ask you this?”
When Gu Xiao heard this, she immediately sat up straight in Chu An’s arms.
She glanced at Chu An and saw him looking over in confusion, so she shook her head again.
“Am I supposed to know something?”
“Did you send some news to Mom?”
When Gu Xiao heard this, her expression relaxed a little, and she leaned into Chu An’s arms again.
Chu An hugged Gu Xiao who had delivered herself into his arms, and tightened his grip slightly, maintaining a strength that wouldn’t make Gu Xiao feel uncomfortable, but also wouldn’t let Gu Xiao escape easily.
Gu Xiao ignored the change in Chu An’s arms and said to Ji Chen, “Brother, if you’re talking about this, 1 did do something. 1 just told Jiang He what Ji Gao and Old Master Ji had kept hidden.”
As for other matters, she did not interfere at all. If she really did anything, it was Jiang He’s own choice.
After saying that, Gu Xiao’s eyes flashed. “Did Jiang He do something?”
“I’m not too sure either. It’s just that Mom called me just now and told me not to worry about the Ji Group.”
He was sure that Jiang He did not know about his and Radiant’s situation previously. Now that Jiang He suddenly called him and said such things, it could only mean that Jiang He knew about his conflict with the Ji Group and did something.
He had been contending with the Ji Group for a period of time. Previously, Jiang He did not express anything. Now that she suddenly knew, he could not help but suspect that Gu Xiao had done something.
Hearing that Ji Chen did not know what had happened, Gu Xiao let out a disappointed “oh”.
Then, she came back to her senses and asked, “Brother, you didn’t call me just because you blame me for telling Jiang He about this, right?”
“Of course not!” Ji Chen immediately refuted Gu Xiao’s guess. “I just want to confirm with you.”
He did not want to tell Jiang He because Jiang He treated him well. He did not want Jiang He to be in a dilemma.
However, Gu Xiao had told Jiang He about this, which was also for his sake. How could he blame Gu Xiao?
Of course, if Gu Xiao wasn’t the one who did this, he would have to wonder what the motive of the person behind this was.
Hearing Ji Chen’s reply, Gu Xiao laughed.
“Since the Ji Group’s matter has been resolved, Brother has to take advantage of this time to recover the losses that Radiant had suffered a while ago.”
“I will.”
After Ji Chen got the answer he wanted from Gu Xiao, he hung up the call with Gu Xiao and went to deal with Radiant again.
When Chu An saw Gu Xiao put her phone aside, he asked, “Was it Brother Chen who called just now?”
Gu Xiao nodded and repeated what Ji Chen said just now.
Hearing this, Chu An raised his eyebrows, and the arms that was originally on Gu Xiao’s waist exerted more force.
He moved closer to Gu Xiao and pressed his head against Gu Xiao’s neck. The hot air he exhaled raised a small patch of gooseb.u.mps on Gu Xiao’s fair skin. “Then, shouldn’t Xiaoxiao give me my reward now?”
Gu Xiao lowered her eyes slightly and could only see the top of Chu An’s black head. Even if she couldn’t see Chu An’s current expression, she could roughly guess the expression on his face.
Just as she was about to say something, Chu An couldn’t wait anymore and directly asked for his reward.
Gu Xiao only felt her skin close to Chu An’s being gently kissed by a pair of moist and soft lips. Then, she felt a dense series of kisses move from her neck all the way up.
Before she could speak, her lips were completely kissed.
Chu An forcefully pried open Gu Xiao’s teeth, and his nimble tongue reached into the moist place that he had been thinking about for a long time. He used his tongue to lick every part of Gu Xiao’s mouth, as if he wanted to leave a mark that belonged to him.
At some point in time, Chu An’s hand had already reached the back of Gu Xiao’s head. He gently stroked it, as if he was comforting, or controlling the other party.
Gu Xiao was caught off guard by Chu An’s domineering kiss. Her usual tenacity seemed to have turned into a pool of spring water, and she had no resistance at all. She could only grab the corner of Chu An’s clothes weakly..
