Held in Xu Xiangbei's embrace, Gu Xiangyi felt a sense of safety, and she particularly liked the warmth emanating from his chest, like a warm and secure haven.
Lately, she was very exhausted, not only busy from morning till night, her body weary, but also, since her grandfather advised her to give up the CEO position, her heart felt more exhausted and colder.
The reason she worked tirelessly was to secure a place in the Gu Family, to prevent her uncles from looking down on her, so that her grandfather and relatives would acknowledge her as a member of the Gu Family.
They never considered how relentlessly Gu Xiangyi toiled for the Gu Family's business, day and night, nor did they think about her risking herself for the Gu Family.
Yet her efforts only brought them fear, leading them to believe she was seizing the family's business.
