Translator: 549690339
I don’t know when Gu Yuanzhou realized I was gone.
What does him standing by the door in the middle of the night mean?
After a moment of confusion, I quickly held my composure, took off my face mask, and began to explain to him,
“I met a friend and had arranged to meet at a bar. I just went there.”
A lie? I could think of one easily.
Gu Yuanzhou’s dark eyes stared into mine for a long time, 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮
“A man?”
Initially, I thought of making up a story.
But then it occurred to me that he is merely my boss, not my husband. I have no duty or obligation to explain everything to him so explicitly.
So I responded nonchalantly,
“Uh! Can I withhold that information?!”
“Just a reminder, you’re not allowed to date while on a business trip!’
“President Gu…This isn’t work hours, why not?”
“You’re my employee, and I’m responsible for your personal safety! It’s too dangerous to be out so late!”
He sternly interrupted me, completely uninterested in hearing any further explanation.
When I returned to my room, his piercing gaze followed my silhouette.
Even without looking back, I could feel his scrutinizing stare.
The next morning.
We once again attended a fashion show business event.
Unexpectedly, an outrageous incident occurred in the meantime.
At the time, our booth had an event where we showcased our product and sought potential customers.
We arrived early and there weren’t many guests yet, so I was browsing the news on my phone.
There was a report about a mysterious power outage at an internet cafe last
Since the incident was minor, it didn’t attract much attention.
However, another piece of news had made the headlines.
The wife of the famous director Zhou had an affair with a little-known actor; their intimate photos were all over the internet, and the comments section was exploding.
“Who would have thought Mrs. Zhou would be so shameless?”
“Rumor has it that the two haven’t had feelings for each other for a long time now, but Mrs. Zhou doesn’t want to split the property, which is why they can’t get a divorce.”
“Since Director Zhou has found this scandal, even if they don’t want to, they’ll have to divorce…
This must be my doing.
After reading the news, I attended to the first wave of customers of the day.
I dealt with them graciously.
Seeing my thriving business, the woman from the neighboring fashion company booth grew envious.
She approached me,
“I see you have good sales skills. How about this? Come to our company, and I’ll double your salary.”
“Sorry, your products are not up to standard, changing the salesperson won’t make any difference! ”
Maybe she thought I was an easy target, or just a worker.
This woman wanted to put me in my place and started to argue with me.
She was loudly yelling at me, pointing at my nose,
“You overstepped! You’re encroaching on my space, move this table inside.”
This table was clearly closer to our side of the middle line, she was just making a fuss to humiliate me.
I argued my case with her.
Had I been back home, I would have dealt with this shrew with a slap.
However, the more I reasoned, the more she thought I was easy to bully and took a cup of milk tea, splashing it onto my face.
Just then, a stern shout interrupted her.
“Stop!’
It was Gu Yuanzhou rushing over.
He pushed the woman away and shielded me behind him.
Seeing that assistance had arrived, the woman retired, but Gu Yuanzhou was not ready to let her off so easily.
He dialed the police directly.
A few minutes later, when the police arrived, they initially tried to mediate the situation.
But Gu Yuanzhou was adamant, insisting on getting the woman sent to the detention house.
Gu Yuanzhou is not an easy man to deal with, once he makes a decision, no one can persuade him otherwise.
Finally, under Gu Yuanzhou’s persistence, the woman knelt on the ground, apologizing to me. Crying and promising not to do it again, she even withdrew her company’s booth from the exhibition.
Only then did I let out a sigh of relief.
I saw Gu Yuanzhou protecting me just now in a different light.
“Are you alright now?”
“Sorry for affecting our progress! ”
We spent the whole day dealing with this trivial matter, not attracting much business, which was a waste of time.
Gu Yuanzhou is always very frugal; this must upset him greatly.
“Don’t worry about it! ”
On the way back, I expressed my gratitude to him.
“Thank you, President Gu, for stepping in.”
“As the companys leader, it’s my duty to protect my employees!’
After saying this, he gave me a meaningful look and pulled out a packet of tissues, helping wipe the tea stain off my face.
“Especially when it’s such an excellent employee!’
In the afternoon, I went to a hair salon to restyle my wet disheveled hair.
After seeing a scratch on my arm, Gu Yuanzhou took me to the hospital for a check-up.
Throughout the day, Gu Yuanzhou fulfilled his role as a boss in front of me admirably.
Two days passed, and the business trip came to a successful close.
Perhaps it was because we had spent a lot of time together; we were no longer as stiff around each other.
Thus, on the way back, I couldn’t help but ask another question.
“President Gu, why doesn’t anyone else sit in your passenger seat?”
He looked up from his phone at me,
Possibly remembering the incident when he didn’t let me sit there, he reached up to massage his brow and replied,
“The passenger seat is reserved for my wife!” This statement shocked me.
Subsequently, I dared to ask another question,
“Since Mrs. Gu has passed away, are you planning on having someone else occupy the passenger seat?”
As an employee, my question seemed somewhat bold.
Moreover, it appeared to trouble Gu Yuanzhou.
He rubbed his brows, pondered for a long time before providing an answer.
On the plane, I shared this answer with Wenya, and she immediately replied,
“Don’t believe him! He deceived you by having a college student mistress, secretly investing funds in C City, this shows that he hasn’t been sincere to you. Ayun, you mustn’t trust this man anymore.” Across the aisle, I looked at Gu Yuanzhou again.
Thinking of the statement he made earlier,
“Mrs. Gu t s seat won’t be replaced; this place will always belong to her only!’
Ha, his mouth is still as deceitful as ever!
Telling nothing but sweet nothings.
I won’t be fooled again!
Two hours later, the plane landed at the airport.
Dragging my suitcase and following Gu Yuanzhou, I saw a silhouette running towards us as soon as we exited the terminal.
“Brother Gu, you’re back!”
Upon closer look, it was Ye Mengyan.
With a bright smile on her face, she naturally took the suitcase from my hands,
“This belongs to Brother Gu, right?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
“Xiaoyun, you’ve worked hard! This is for you, thank you for taking care of Brother Gu these few days!’
I have to say, she’s really good with words.
When did Gu Yuanzhou become her man?
“Brother Gu, everything is prepared at the Maple Mansion! You can rest well when you get back.”
So Ye Mengyan came all this way to the airport just to take Gu Yuanzhou home.
Would Gu Yuanzhou really go with her?
