To deal with Gu Yuanzhou, I replied casually,
“It’s the fiancé my mother mentioned to you last time…”
In reality, I was rummaging through my mind for that man’s name, Gu Yuanzhou had only mentioned it once before, and I couldn’t recall it now. It was really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Gu Yuanzhou did not continue to ask further.
“Ah, come in quickly. It’s cold outside!”
“Alright!”
I hurriedly grabbed my bag and rushed into the house. I didn’t want to linger with Gu Yuanzhou.
Working together during the day had already been quite frustrating.
After I returned to my room and took a shower, Ye Mengyan came over again.
She brought a fruit tray, with the apple cut into a pretty flower shape.
“Oh, I heard that fruit can cure a hangover, so I cut some for you.”
She smiled gently, her demeanor seemingly kind.
Having nothing else to do, I let her in.
“Did you drink a lot today?”
She asked casually.
“It’s alright, not that much, just two glasses!”
“Is the fiancé you mentioned the gentleman I saw last time?”
After a long pause, I realized Ye Mengyan was referring to Ding Yinuo.
Naturally, the fiancé I’m talking about now was Song Xiaoyun’s previous fiancé, not anyone from my current circle.
But I didn’t feel like explaining this to Ye Mengyan.
“Yes!”
A smile finally appeared on Ye Mengyan’s face, “That’s great!”
“What’s great?”
“Well… A beautiful and talented girl like you, your boyfriend must love you very much!”
Seeing the joy she could barely hide, I have already guessed her little scheme.
She fears I might take Gu Yuanzhou’s love from her?
“Quite alright!”
“Xiaoyun, I consider you as a sister. You should share any secrets you have with me in the future. Maybe, I can give you some advice?”
I smiled but didn’t respond.
Who wants to be her sister?
And who needs her advice?
I didn’t feel like dealing with her, but she seemed unmotivated to leave and started to talk about other things.
“Did you know? I met with Shen Yishu today!”
“Did you two get back together?”
“Of course not, but even if we broke up, we remain friends!”
“Oh, what did he say?”
“He said, he doesn’t want me to go abroad! He said it’s chaotic in France, the environment is bad, and the public security is not good either. Paris today is no longer the romantic capital it once was.”
“Oh? Make your own decision. Go if you want to, and don’t if you don’t.”
Ye Mengyan then looked at me earnestly,
“Would you suggest I go or not?”
I could tell, she was probing me again.
I told her straightly,
“Basically, my advice is not that important. Whether you go or not doesn’t affect me. Honestly, if Gu Yuanzhou really likes me, there is nothing you can do. You should understand men; they like the new and hate the old. Moreover, even without me, there will be other women…”
Being so straightforward, Ye Mengyan’s face turned red. Apparently, she didn’t expect me to say all this.
She nervously twitched her hand, then suddenly turned around and rushed out with tears streaming down her face.
I was well aware of Ye Mengyan’s little scheme.
She was just trying to remind me not to have any thoughts about Gu Yuanzhou.
But, when she initially stole someone else’s husband, did she ever think her day of loss would come?
Right when I was about to get into bed after my shower, my cell phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and saw it was a message from Gu Yuanzhou.
“Come to my study for a while!”
I paused for a few seconds, then replied to him, “President Gu, it’s so late, is there anything that can’t be dealt with tomorrow?”
He then sent me two words, “Overtime!”
Sure enough, living too close to the boss meant frequent overtime work.
I quickly changed my clothes and walked out.
Ye Mengyan was in the living room, seemingly video chatting with her classmate, complaining…
Even though I didn’t hear clearly, I faintly felt she seemed to be discussing Gu Yuanzhou.
When she saw me come out, she immediately shut off the video chat, then nervously asked me,
“Why are you going upstairs this late?”
“Gu Yuanzhou wants to see me!”
“What does he want with you?”
“I’m not sure!”
She wanted to ask more, but I didn’t feel like dealing with her, so I went straight up to the study.
Thankfully, he mentioned the study, not the bedroom. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come up.
“President Gu, what are your instructions?”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with a complex gaze, then took out a file, “There’s an error in this contract, you need to proofread it again!”
“Oh, alright!”
I sat at the computer, comparing the printed contract to the original document.
Frankly, this document didn’t need to be sent to the clients until Wednesday. There was absolutely no need to amend it now.
But since he insisted on amending it, I could only comply.
While I was modifying the document, Gu Yuanzhou stood behind me the entire time.
I knew he was watching me.
The feeling was obvious.
He was assessing me.
Gu Yuanzhou had a sharp gaze, which gave a strong oppressive feeling, especially when he looked at someone from behind.
After fussing for half an hour, I finally checked through several thick documents and was about to print it when I realized there was no printer here.
“President Gu, let’s print it at the office tomorrow!”
Gu Yuanzhou sat down on the couch, then said to me, “You’ve worked hard, come sit here!”
I sat down on the chair opposite him.
He gazed at me for a while, “What does he do?”
“What?”
“Your boyfriend!”
“Oh, him… a wage worker!”
I answered casually.
“Then the money he earns isn’t enough for you to spend, right?”
“Yes, I don’t need his money for now!”
“How many times does he visit you in a week?”
I always felt Gu Yuanzhou was investigating me, so I tried to answer as vaguely as possible.
Ansuring in a seemingly reasonable but completely overruled way to make sure he couldn’t find any flaws.
Just as I said this, there was a knock on the door. Actually, the door wasn’t fully closed, just slightly ajar.
Then, Ye Mengyan came in with two cups of hot tea.
“Brother Gu, Xiaoyun, seeing you both so hard at work late into the night, I made some tea for you to battle fatigue.”
When she handed the tea cup to Gu Yuanzhou, the love in her eyes seemed almost overflowing.
Gu Yuanzhou picked up the tea cup, then shot a few more questions at me.
“When do you plan to get married?”
“At the end of the year!”
I casually picked a time.
“Isn’t getting married so young not a good idea?”
Gu Yuanzhou asked again.
Before I had a chance to answer, Ye Mengyan spoke up for me.
“Oh, her boyfriend must be very outstanding, so getting married earlier is fine! A marriage contract can give both parties peace of mind. The best promise a man can make to a woman is to walk her down the aisle!”
Ye Mengyan’s intentions were glaringly obvious.
I understand…
However, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t respond to her, instead he looked at me,
“You should call off the engagement!”
