My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1709: Honestly, Just Jealous at Heart

“Chu Xi is doing this to embarrass the Young Madam. Up until now, the Young Madam is still in the dark. If she really attends the award ceremony, she’ll definitely be played with. Mr. Li, should we just sit back and watch?”

During this period, Chu Xi has been causing trouble for Rong Yan and Bright Starry Sky, and they all knew that. However, it was surprising that the usually domineering and protective CEO instructed them not to intervene but just to monitor Chu Xi’s every move at all times.

He knew Chu Xi was up to her tricks again and hurried over to report, but he was unsure whether Li Shengxiao would take action!

“The Young Madam has high expectations for ‘Little Luck’. During the three months of shooting, she suffered quite a bit. To see her hard-earned results trampled upon, she must feel terrible.”

“Madame Chu knows the Young Madam is going to the award ceremony on TV and even prepared a beautiful dress for her. Now all of Madame Chu’s efforts and the Young Madam’s hard work will be in vain…”

Li Shengxiao lifted his eyes to glance at him, “Are you very unwilling?”

Gu Ming did not hide his true thoughts and bowed respectfully, “The Young Madam treats me well. Although she is your wife, she feels like a friend to me and sometimes even like a sister. I just feel unjust for Madame Chu and the Young Madam. Miss Chu relies on her background to bully people excessively, and the Young Madam hasn’t provoked her, yet she repeatedly troubles her. Clearly, Madame Chu and Mr. Qin have warned her, but she refuses to restrain herself. Just a few days and she’s intentionally making trouble for the Young Madam again. I don’t understand what she wants to achieve.”

“She wants to seek a sense of presence.”

Gu Ming raised his head, looking at him in confusion, “Mr. Li, are we really not going to intervene? Just watch the Young Madam being bullied by her?”

Li Shengxiao picked up the pen he just laid down, pressing the tip heavily onto the file, his handsome face showing a solemn expression, “…Wait a bit longer.”

“?”

Growing impatient, Gu Ming further pressed, “I’m rather slow and don’t understand what we’re waiting for. Can you tell me, Mr. Li, so I won’t be worrying about the Young Madam all the time?”

Otherwise, he was really worried about his Young Madam being bullied.

Li Shengxiao remained silent for a while and did not answer his questioning. Instead, he seemed a bit distracted.

Why not act immediately?

He was also asking Rong Yan this question, how long before she’d be willing to tell him these things, how long before she’d seek his help. Chu Xi had troubled her more than once; she would rather approach Jiang Chenyue than mention it to him. Even when cornered by Chu Xi, she chose to partner with Fu Yi to open a company.

Though he knew she did this to not worry him, he didn’t like this feeling.

How much longer before she realizes that they are already married?

He is her lawful husband, the person who shares honor and disgrace with her for life.

“For now, don’t bother.”

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Ming unwillingly retorted, “But Mr. Li, they’re bullying the Young Madam like this, are you really not going to do anything?”

“The Young Madam must want to win an award too.”

Li Shengxiao’s thin lips pressed into a straight line, his angular face’s muscles taut.

Gu Ming, seeing him refuse to communicate, sighed silently in his heart, probably guessing his thoughts. Helplessly, he voiced his acknowledgment before quietly leaving, casually pulling the door to a close behind him.

The office suddenly returned to silence, and Li Shengxiao grasped the pen tightly with one hand, forcing himself to calm down and focus on the files.
