Chapter 8: Same Old, Same Old

nature, Qiao Siyao was sweet-talking and lively. She would often crack jokes at the dinner table to cheer up Qiao Xusheng. Although those jokes seemed extremely boring to her, Qiao Xusheng would alwa...The sudden hang-up left Gu Jingyan frowning.

The woman's voice called out to him again, "Ayan"

Gu Jingyan raised his eyes and glanced at her faintly, put away his phone, and said in a cold voice, "What's the matter"

Yao Kexin handed her a beautifully wrapped box, saying in a soft and slightly shy voice, "I haven't been busy these days, so I made some little snacks at home and wanted to give them to you to try."

Gu Jingyan remained motionless, raising his eyes to look at her, "Just for this"

Yao Ke Xin felt a sudden jolt in her heart, clutched the box tightly, and whispered, “No... I still want to ask about work.”

Gu Jingyan said faintly, "Don't worry about things online anymore, leave Weibo to your manager. In a few days, someone from Ling Yu will contact you about signing a contract, and then cooperate with the promotion."

Yao Ke Xin was delighted.

She had been trying to get voice acting work for and had recommended herself to Shen Qingchuan several times, but he always brushed her off with a few words. She was angry about it for a long time.

It's not that I particularly like the game's voice acting, it's just that I don't want "Twilight Star" to have an easy time.

A while back, when "Mysterious Lover" was airing, she got on the hot search several times because of her voice acting. People said her acting was entirely carried by the voiceover, and if you didn't listen to the sound, you'd think she was just acting in a puppet show again.

The hot search term "Dusk Stars" has propelled her to fame, but all the hard work she put into filming and building a good reputation have been overshadowed by "Dusk Stars." Can anyone be happy about that

To prove that her original voice lines weren't bad, she released a video of her original voice lines from the filming process using a trumpet, and also bought the hot search "Yao Keqin's Acting Skills."

I thought these people would be impressed, but instead I was ridiculed.

Those so-called audiences and critics, who tore her dialogue and acting apart, have once again praised "Twilight Stars" to the heavens.

She was about to be driven mad! Just as she was racking her brains for a chance to vent her anger, she overheard Shen Qingchuan and Guo Wei discussing the voice acting for *The Investiture of the Gods*. She learned that they were interested in having Riyue Fanxing do the voice acting.

She looked down on the voice acting in a game, but since it could add insult to injury for Ri Xing, she would naturally do everything she could to snatch it up.

My heart was filled with joy, but I hesitated and asked, "Did Mr. Shen agree He doesn't seem to like me very much. If Mr. Shen isn't willing, then there's no need to force it. Don't let me cause any discomfort between you."

Gu Jingyan glanced at her, his eyes profound, as if seeing through her, causing Yao Kexin's back to prickle with goosebumps.

Gu Jingyan just reminded her, "Your manager is here."

Yao Ke Xin came to her senses. Outside the car window, her manager was waving at her.

She frowned, wanting to act cute and get Gu Jingyan to send her back. But Gu Jingyan's assistant, Lin Shu, had already opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation.

Having reached this point, she was no longer able to put on a brave face and stay. After bidding farewell to Gu Jingyan, she got off the carriage and left, not forgetting to give Lin Shu a withering glare as she departed.

"Mr. Gu, where are you going"

Gu Jingyan rubbed his eyes, looking tired. "Let's go home," he said.

He hasn't been sleeping well these days. To be precise, it all started after Qiao Ruoxing moved out of the house.

As soon as he thought of that woman, he became upset again.

He took the water glass, twisted it open, and just after taking a sip, he frowned. "Plain water"

Lin Shu explained, "The tea bags my wife gave me ran out and I haven't gotten new ones yet. I'll call her back later."

Gu Jingyan paused, then said faintly, "No need."

Find that woman, she's probably going to say something to anger him again!

After finishing his words, he took another sip. He had been drinking plain water for over twenty years, but for some reason, it suddenly became hard to swallow.

Is plain water really that hard to drink

When they arrived at the Yu Yuan Villa, Gu Jingyan got out of the car. Lin Shu took a beautifully packaged gift box from the car and handed it to Gu Jingyan.

Mr. Gu, the bag you ordered two months ago has arrived.

Over millions of dollars worth of packages, a house on his back, his values over the past few years at work have been constantly refreshed.

"If the madam saw it, she would surely like it."

Gu Jingyan's brows relaxed slightly, but his voice remained cold. "She likes what she wants, doesn't she"

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

He hadn't heard his wife say she wanted this bag, but once in the car, his wife flipped through a magazine and said this bag looked nice. That night, Mr. Gu immediately called him to order it.

There was no stock domestically, so I still had to go through someone abroad to purchase it. It took two months to get it that way.

"Put the car in first," Gu Jingyan fastened his buttons, "Come pick me up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

The next morning, shortly after 9:00 AM, Qiao Joxing had just finished packing when she received a call from Gu Jingyan.

"Go downstairs."

Qiao Ruoxing felt inexplicably perplexed. Gu Jingyan "thoughtfully" added, "I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Jo Ro Xing frowned, "Do you know where I live"

Gu Jingyan was too lazy to respond to that nonsense and hung up the phone directly.

Every time they have an argument, she either goes to a hotel or stays with that bitter friend of hers. He just canceled her key card, so the only place she can go is Tang Xiaoxiao's.

As expected, when Qiao Ruoxing came out of the residential building, Gu Jingyan's Mercedes-Benz was parked by the roadside.

She hesitated for a moment, just about to go around to the passenger seat, when Lin Shu got out of the car and opened the rear door for her.

Gu Jingyan sat on the other side of the back seat, lowering his head to look at his phone.

She didn't want to sit with Gu Jingyan, so she turned her head and tried to get Lin Shu to open the passenger door for her. But before she could speak, Lin Shu urged, "Madam, please get in the car, they don't allow parking here, the traffic police are coming."

Qiao Ruo Xing had no choice but to get in the car first.

The car started quickly, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the car was uncomfortably silent.

Lin Shu had been with Gu Jingyan for so many years, he was still good at observing words and expressions. It was already strange that he came to meet his wife here, and now the atmosphere in the car made it even more peculiar.

The two probably had an argument.

He glanced at Gu Jingyan, then at Qiao Ruo Xing, gave a light cough to ease the awkward atmosphere, and then took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Madam, do you still remember the sachet you gave me last Dragon Boat Festival I didn't give it to my mother. She particularly liked it and kept it by her pillow every day, saying that her sleep had improved. A few days ago when I went home, she pulled me aside and asked for a new one, saying that the previous one's scent had faded and wasn't as effective as before. Where did you buy that sachet I want to get another one for her."

Jo Rou Xing smiled upon hearing this, and softly said, "That spice was made by me myself. I found a skilled artisan online to process it for me. It's probably not for sale."

Lin Shu was surprised, "You made this You know how to blend scents"

Gu Jingyan paused his movements, his gaze probing Qiao Ruo Xing.

Qiaoqiao shook her head, "I don't understand. I just have some interest. I like to tinker with it myself in my free time. The sachet your aunt uses has very common spices. I'll send you the ingredients and quantities later via WeChat. You can go to a spice shop and make it yourself."

"What a bother to you, Mrs."

"No trouble."

Qiao Ruo Xing said that, then opened WeChat and input the ratio of spices used to make sachets.

She had very fair skin and slender fingers. Her nails, which were usually bare, were painted a pale pink, and her makeup seemed different from before. Although the overall change wasn't significant, it inexplicably gave her an alluring air.

The beauty is too intense.

Gu Jingyan's gaze fell on her chest. She was wearing a very form-fitting dress today, with a large neckline, and at a glance, her curves were clear.

He frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't you have any other clothes What are you wearing"

Jo Rou Xing rolled her eyes inwardly. It was already a miracle she came, so why was she complaining

She said dismissively, "I just bought this. Don't you think it looks nice"

Gu Jingyan let out a cold "hmph" and said something that wanted to make Qiao Ruo Xing smash her phone on his face, "Your taste is just as stagnant as ever." to the bartender, Gu Jingyan snatched it away.Jo Jo Xing frowned, "Why did you steal my ring"Gu Jingyan gritted his teeth, forcing down his anger and said, "You're trading your wedding ring for alcoh...
