“Who exactly did you offend?” he asked, frowning.
“I’ve been away from the country for five years. Who … Could I have offended?” Lin Yiqian rolled her eyes at Gu nianshen.
Then, he turned around and continued to pack.
“Who exactly did you offend?”
Gu nianshen’s question suddenly repeated itself in her mind. As if she had thought of something, she raised her head to look at the door.
From behind, Gu nianshen could see that Lin Yiqian had suddenly stopped moving. She must be thinking about something. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Lin Yiqian shook her head as her thoughts were interrupted.
She looked out the door again.
……
It was peak traffic on the road, and it was already half-past six when he got home.
Lin Yiqian was supposed to be working overtime at the office. However, Lin Yiqian was worried about letting aunt Zhou take care of Xiaoyu for so long since he was at home.
She returned in Gu nianshen’s car and the two of them entered the house one after another.
“Grandma, it’s your turn.” Lin Xiaoyu’s voice could be heard before she could even step out of the entrance.
Grandma?
Shocked, Lin Yiqian took a step forward and looked at the couch. Song Changwen and Lin Xiaoyu were sitting cross-legged on the furry cushions under the coffee table.
Chinese Checkers were placed on the coffee table.
Queen song was actually playing Chinese Checkers with Xiaoyu!
That thing that even she thought was childish and did not want to accompany.
Lin Yiqian’s eyes widened in shock.
As Gu nianshen entered the room, he was also slightly stunned when he saw the scene.
“Mother,” Gu nianshen quickly called out to song Changwen as he began to wonder if Lin Yiqian would get suspicious.
Song Changwen only realized that Lin Yiqian and Gu nianshen had returned when her grandmother’s game of Chinese Checkers was interrupted.
She raised her head to look at them, and the kind and friendly smile on her face immediately disappeared.
The instant change in his expression was especially obvious.
“I’m back. ”
He greeted them in a cold voice.
“Grandma, it’s your turn.” Lin Xiaoyu grabbed song Changwen’s arm and urged her to cast the dice.
“Xiaoyu, let’s play later. I have something to say to your father … No, your mother.” Song Changwen turned to look at Xiaoyu with a warm smile.
Lin Yiqian patted Xiaoyu’s head gently as she spoke.
“Alright.” Xiaoyu nodded obediently.
He immediately got up and went upstairs.
Lin Yiqian and Gu nianshen walked to the couch in unison. Song Changwen stood up and glared at Lin Yiqian.”I’ve told you before that you’re not cut out for management. Not everyone is suited to manage a company.”
It was a sarcastic tone.
Hearing this, Gu nianshen felt very displeased. He reached out to pull Lin Yiqian into his arms.”If she’s bored, she can just spend some money to start a company for fun. It doesn’t matter if she’s suitable or not.”
“You …”
Song Changwen was so angry that she almost choked on her words. However, in the end, she still held back her words.
“Gu nianshen, do you know that Mega’s stocks are at risk of falling because of what you did to protect the Lin family today?” Gu nianshen asked in a reprimanding tone.
“I think that no matter what kind of risk it is, it’s still within the limits of what I can handle.” Gu nianshen did not seem to mind.
Hearing this, Lin Yiqian felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
Tears began to well up in Lin Yiqian’s eyes. Gu nianshen was not the one who would be able to hold up the sky for her. Neither was he the one who would be able to help her.
It was his attitude.
At this moment, was Gu nianshen really the man who was standing by her side to protect her?
She raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
