Chapter 39: 039 Did I do something wrong…
For a moment, Gu Heng felt as if he couldn’t breathe, and even his chest began to ache.
“Brother Heng, do you think we did something wrong…”
A suppressed and sad voice came from beside him.
“My sister…she wasn’t before. I don’t know when it started, but she has grown more and more distant from me. Although she seemed difficult to get along with in the past, I know she was still kind-hearted. But now… seeing her really upsets me. What should I do to make my sister feel better… What will it take for her to forgive me…”
Xinyan’s voice was soft and subdued, with a slight tremble, bitter and helpless, causing Gu Heng’s heart to ache.
He reached out to embrace her, his long fingers lifting her delicate chin, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and placing a kiss full of pity and pain on her forehead.
The man’s cherished gesture made her feel even more guilty.
“Grandma doesn’t say it, but I know she still thinks about my sister, and grandpa too…Ever since my sister left home five years ago, she’s seldom come back. It’s difficult for grandpa to even see her once. And my sister’s attitude towards me…alone as she is, without anyone to take care of her, I’m really afraid she’ll do something foolish because of me. Brother Heng, will my sister never forgive me in her lifetime?”
A pair of beautiful eyes shone with hopeful light, as if the man in front of her was her last hope, his words could comfort her heart.
What can a man least resist?
It’s when a woman regards him as a hero, as her ultimate salvation.
Gu Heng’s heart trembled slightly, Xinyan’s understanding nature made him feel tenderness for her, and her loving gaze filled him with joy. Her words struck right at his heart.
Being rebellious since childhood, without friends, without backing, having broken with her family, and now…
Can Xiao Ran really handle it?
“Don’t worry, you’re so pure and kind, and you have her best interests at heart, she’ll definitely come to realize your good nature.”
Xinyan sniffed, her face flushed with emotion.
“Really? Will my sister truly forgive me?”
Gu Heng nodded gently, his face full of indulgence.
“Yes, don’t worry. Once she has cooled down, I’ll have a good talk with her. You just relax. Although Xiao Ran is somewhat reclusive, she always recognizes fairness. I believe she will forgive us and even bless us.”
Xinyan’s eyes flickered, she nodded, her sad voice tinged with a slight melancholy.
“I hope my sister can truly let go.”
Gu Heng affectionately scraped her delicate nose, “She will. Let’s go, I’ll take you home. You haven’t fully recovered yet, you should rest well at home for a while.”
On the thirty-sixth floor, the President’s office of Qianran International.
After stepping out of the elevator, Su Ran took off her overcoat and draped it over her arm.
Dressed in casual business attire, her fitted blazer clung to her slender waist, and her black, wide-leg pants accentuated her long, straight legs, lending her a disciplined yet regally carefree appearance that only Su Ran could embody in such formal professional attire.
There was no denying that Su Ran was beautiful.
Her features were exquisitely perfect, impossible to fault, her wavy hair lightly styled, with stray strands adding a touch of untamed beauty.
Upon arriving at her office, she placed her coat over the back of a chair and pressed the intercom button on her desk. Soon, the call was picked up.
“Notify all departments. We have a meeting in the conference room in half an hour.”
