Fu Chenghai had probably addressed Lin Yiqian in that way instinctively. Although Lin Yiqian was aware of it, she merely smiled without giving it away.
Once Fu Chenghai and Cheng Dai had both left, Lin Yiqian began to frown as she got lost in her thought.
The process of getting the contract signed had been completed too easily. On top of that, Fu Chenghai’s attitude seemed to have changed so drastically.
Lin Yiqian suspected that somebody must have secretly helped her.
However, she did not dare to even think that it might have had something to do with her being addressed as Mrs. Gu.
“Chief Lin.” Her secretary asked after a while, “Is there something wrong?”
“No.” Lin Yiqian shook her head before proceeding to leave the restaurant.
Once she was out of the restaurant, a look of joy and surprise appeared on her face as she noticed a familiar tall man standing outside.
She immediately started running toward him.
As she got closer to Gu Nianshen, she began to slow down. “Gu Nianshen, why are you here?” She tried to ask in the calmest way possible, with a hint of surprise in her tone.
The way she had asked the question made Gu Nianshen feel as if she did not want him there. “Don’t you realize that your two hours are up?” He frowned.
As his car was parked right next to him, he opened the door directly after finishing his sentence before getting into it and turning the engine on.
Lin Yiqian did not mind his proud behavior as she was overwhelmed with joy from his sudden appearance.
“Go back to the office first.” Lin Yiqian spoke softly to her assistant next to her.
“Alright.”
Once her secretary had left, Lin Yiqian walked over to the passenger’s side before opening the door.
“Chief Lin.” A familiar woman’s voice could suddenly be heard from behind her.
Lin Yiqian paused before shifting her gaze in the direction of the voice, which belonged to Wan Suqin. Dressed in a short-sleeved, beige T-shirt and a sapphire-blue skirt, Wan Suqin’s hip swayed attractively from side to side as she walked.
Meanwhile, the heels she was wearing made loud clicking noises on the ground. It seemed to be screaming for attention as much as her large sunglasses were.
Lin Yiqian tilted her head slightly as she raised her brows.
Now that Lin Yiqian had already signed the contract with Fu Chenghai, could this woman have come a little too late?
Without saying anything, Lin Yiqian waited for Wan Suqin to get closer. Only then did she nod slightly as a way of greeting Wan Suqin.
Meanwhile, Wan Suqin stopped one meter away from Lin Yiqian before glancing into the car. Having noticed Gu Nianshen on the driver’s seat, she smiled before returning her gaze to Lin Yiqian.
“It seems that Mrs. Gu wasn’t making it up. Mr. Gu really does treat his wife well.” Wan Suqin removed her sunglasses elegantly with her right hand.
She then turned to look at Gu Nianshen again before raising her voice intentionally. “Just as Mrs. Gu said, her life had become nothing short of ease and splendor after getting married to Mr. Gu.”
Lin Yiqian remained silent.
This dumb woman did not know when to shut up.
Wan Suqin must have done it on purpose.
Awkwardly, Lin Yiqian stole a glance at Gu Nianshen.
Coincidentally, Gu Nianshen was leaning against the steering wheel as he returned her gaze.
Feeling self-conscious, Lin Yiqian looked away.
“Miss Wan, if there’s nothing else, I have to go. I need to get something done,” Lin Yiqian said with a smile before stepping into the car.
“Please go ahead, Chief Lin.” Wan Suqin returned her smile.
Once Lin Yiqian had entered the car and closed the door, Gu Nianshen began driving away slowly before gradually reaching a normal speed.
