<h4>Chapter 280: You May Spend It (2)</h4>
Just as Xu Wei was shoving the wad of cash into the red packet, Gu Yu walked out of the changing room. When he noticed her actions, he frowned and asked in his deep voice, “What are you doing?”
“Huh?” Xu Wei replied instinctively, “I’m preparing a red packet for Gu Xue!”
“Using this?” The man’s eyes narrowed on her, and his demeanor turned chilly.
Not understanding his issue with her decision, Xu Wei held up the red packet in her hand as she exined, “Well, I didn’t have any other red packets prepared, so I thought I’d just use this first…”
“No way!”
Gu Yu turned her down without even allowing her to finish her sentence.
Xu Wei’s face froze.
He had given his ck card to her and even allowed her to use it, but he was forbidding her from using a red packet? What was going on?
She opened her mouth to protest, but she changed her mind and went silent as she saw Gu Yu’s expression slowly darken.
Gu Yu took three steps over to her. She was seated on the couch and he lowered his eyes to look at her. His lips moved as he asked, “Why are you giving Gu Xue a red packet?”
Um…
Xu Wei cheered up immediately. It was Gu Yu’s first time married as well. Like her, he had forgotten about this New Year’s custom. They were now even.
She looked up at him, and exined with a serious mien, “Because we’re married. As elders in the family, we have to give the younger members red packets!”
We…?
Gu Yu smiled imperceptibly and asked, “How much were you intending to put inside?”
Xu Wei showed him eight fingers. “How about this amount? It seems to be the best option.”
Gu Yu nodded his head, took his cell phone out, and dialed Assistant Lin’s number. When the call was answered, he instructed immediately, “Transfer eight million over to Gu Xue’s bank ount.”
Xu Wei was left speechless.
She… she meant eight hundred! Didn’t Gu Yu know he was acting like a spendthrift?
Xu Wei swiftly and quietly returned the eight hundred yuan of cash into her purse.
She soon heard Gu Xue, who had been waiting obediently at the door for her red packet, sudden squeal in delight and dashed into the room. Instead of hugging Gu Yu, however, she went straight to embrace Xu Wei. nting kisses all over Xu Wei’s face, she said, “Thank you, Sister-inw! Thank you, Brother Yu!”
Xu Wei had no choice but to conceal her envy and jealousy. She replied, “Don’t mention it.”
She wanted a red packet containing eight million too! Although she had Gu Yu’s ck card, that still didn’t give her any sense of security. She would only be happy only if the money were in her ount!
She was dying to ask Gu Yu if she could exchange the ck card for eight million!
Gu Yu gave Gu Xue a darkened nce. Gu Xue promptly released Xu Wei from her embrace and sat primly on the couch.
Gu Yu’s turned his eyes to Xu Wei’s face. Suppressing his urge to wipe her face clean, he strode out of the bedroom.
As soon as he left, the unnerving atmosphere dissipated immediately. Gu Xue heaved a sigh of relief. Without another word, she wrapped her hands around Xu Wei’s arm and leaned over. Up close, she noticed several love bites on Xu Wei’s neck that disappeared into her nightgown. With a smile that was wistful and embarrassed, she said, “Oh my god, Sister-inw, you and Brother Yu are such a loving couple…”
Xu Wei blushed furiously when she saw the smile on Gu Xue’s face and instinctively rearranged her hair to cover the red marks.
A loving couple? Gu Xue had to be dreaming! What on earth did she think she was talking about?
“I was right, wasn’t I? Brother Yu likes you. Wait, no, that’s not right. Brother Yu loves you very much!”
He loves Xu Wei?
Xu Weiughed bitterly. Gu Yu didn’t even like her. How could he love her? All she knew was that Gu Yu hated her with the passion of a thousand suns!
Without realizing it, she spoke her thoughts aloud. Gu Xue’s expression easily revealed how shocked she was. She asked, “Sister-inw… is that what you truly think?”
