The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 362 - 3: A Tragedy

Gu Yuan glanced sideways and looked at Quan Jin: "Just eat your food, if you can’t talk, then shut up."

His mouth really was something else.

But her mindset was pretty good, knowing that was just his nature.

The psychological changes in Dao An were indescribable, his trained mindset almost exploded at this moment.

He looked at Quan Jin and said: "She and I are just friends, not the kind of relationship you imagine or think."

Can you believe that?

Quan Jin was already dominated by fear from the woman beside him, deceived into shadows, he looked at Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan asked: "Hard to believe?"

Quan Jin nodded: "Indeed."

Gu Yuan: "Then don’t believe it, I’m not some virtuous woman anyway."

There was a bit of fire in her words.

Quan Jin smelled it, realizing he had been slightly clueless just now, wasn’t it obvious enough already?!

His tone immediately softened: "I was wrong."

"What was wrong?" she responded.

This made him very happy.

The words at his mouth became to flatter her: "Sleeping at your place, eating your food, drinking your drinks, when you ask me what’s wrong, everything is wrong."

Very self-aware.

Gu Yuan grinned, almost laughed out loud, the guy was like this, one moment he could make you furious, the next moment he could make your mood turn from stormy to sunny.

"Finish your food." She didn’t want to deal with him.

Quan Jin, being sensible, didn’t bother her anymore.

Gu Yuan’s favorite was Cantonese breakfast.

But Gu Yuan didn’t have a big appetite, ate little, some rice noodle rolls were left, and she just took a bite of a barbecued pork bun before she couldn’t eat anymore and set it aside.

Who would’ve thought Quan Jin picked up the bun she had taken a bite of and asked: "You’re not eating it?"

Gu Yuan: "I’m full."

As soon as she said she was full, she saw Quan Jin take a bite of the barbecued pork bun that she had bitten, while eating and lecturing her: "Do you know how hard it is to get food, each grain is hard-won."

The corner of Dao An’s mouth twitched violently from across the table, his facial expressions almost collectively spasmed.

This guy really is...

Is he still the promiscuous Young Master Quan he knew?

Gu Yuan wiped her mouth, put down the napkin, and said: "You seem very hungry? Had enough?"

Quan Jin glanced at what was left: "Enough."

Gu Yuan: "How about ordering another serving?"

Quan Jin: "You think you’re feeding a pig?"

Gu Yuan: "I’m afraid you won’t be full."

Quan Jin leaned over: "Are you concerned about my hunger?"

Gu Yuan: "Or else am I worried about a pig’s hunger?"

Quan Jin: "..."

The breakfast was cleaned up by Quan Jin, including Gu Yuan’s leftovers, he finished it all, saying he was disdainful, but ate faster than anyone.

After eating, Quan Jin washed his face and came back out, only to find Gu Yuan gone.

He searched around but couldn’t find her, nor the man who brought breakfast, Quan Jin’s anger suddenly flared up.

"That damn woman! She left me here again!"

He dialed Gu Yuan’s phone number.

It rang several times before being lazily answered, just as Quan Jin was about to angrily question why she ran off without him again, he heard Gu Yuan softly say: "Why aren’t you down here yet?"

Quan Jin: "..."

The anger had already flared up, initially set to ignite the next second, yet her one sentence extinguished the soon-to-burn fire, leaving only wisps of smoke.

He belatedly and with surprise asked: "You’re waiting for me downstairs?"

Gu Yuan: "Otherwise what? Let you walk out on foot?"

Hearing her say this, Quan Jin felt surprisingly good, thinking that damn woman still had some heart.

His heart had just warmed for a moment when she added: "Yujing No.1 is huge, if you walk out and my benefactor finds out, how can I still manage?!"

Quan Jin: "..."!

At this moment, not far below the Starlight building.

Inside a car with very discreet license plates and logos.

Gu Yuan sat in the backseat, Dao An beside her, and Driver Old Bai in the front.

Dao An came over early this morning, feeling quite complicated, mostly indescribable, as he hadn’t thought the rumored Young Master Quan was like this in private, it really opened his eyes.

Gu Yuan was putting on makeup in the car, with a box of cosmetics on her lap, all custom-brand and very expensive.

After finishing the foundation, she was drawing her eyebrows, which required careful and patient technique, noticing the person’s hesitance beside her, she finished her brows, smiled at Dao An and said: "We’ve been tacit battle buddies for so many years, just ask whatever you want to ask, I’ll surely tell what I can."

Dao An didn’t ask because he felt it was a bit inappropriate.

He’d already spoken about work matters, but this was Gu Yuan’s personal business.

"President Gu, is it that the Quan Family is now threatening you?" Dao An was quite worried about this possibility.

Gu Yuan was taken aback, looked sideways at Dao An: "Is that what you think?"

Dao An: "I’m worried about this possibility."

Gu Yuan shook her head, with a wry smile: "That’s not the case, no need to worry."

The tacit understanding between them made Dao An believe Gu Yuan’s words, certain that there was no threat from the Quan Family.

The Quan Family was thriving in Yanjing, with many of its members in high positions, none of whom could be offended. If they were indeed a threat to Gu Yuan, resisting would be like an egg hitting a rock.

Dao An wasn’t sure how good Gu Yuan’s relationship with the Quan Family Matriarch was, so he was worried.

"So, President Gu and him..." Dao An glanced outside the car, since that person hadn’t come down yet, continued: "are officially together? Or temporarily?"

Gu Yuan didn’t avoid the question: "Temporarily, I guess."

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness.

After pausing, Gu Yuan continued: "The reason I asked for your cooperation today is because he still doesn’t know I’m Gu Yuan but it’s coming soon, if he really wants to investigate, he’ll find out, especially since I’ve already slipped, bringing him to Yujing No.1, I’m planning to stabilize my relationship with him before he knows I am Gu Yuan Qian."

Some things she didn’t want to put effort into anymore, as it would be thankless, leaving her exhausted.

Dao An didn’t understand Gu Yuan’s hardships, only knowing that her relationship with that Young Master Quan wasn’t just a show, it seemed to be real.

Moreover, with them having a marriage relationship now, it should be transitioning to cultivating feelings, as Dao An thought.

Seeing the worry fade from Dao An’s face, Gu Yuan knew she had made him concerned, and with Quan Jin likely to come down soon, discussing work was inconvenient.

However, there was one thing...

Gu Yuan suddenly ’slipped her tongue’ and mentioned: "Yiyi has been getting close to a little puppy recently, don’t know if you’ve noticed."

Dao An was stunned.

He didn’t seem to expect Gu Yuan to suddenly bring this up.

Gu Yuan noticed Dao An’s expression was normal, without any flicker of change, she couldn’t help but sigh internally, this man was really composed, thinking that guarding so well, if people were right under his nose, they couldn’t escape, but if he kept this up, they’d eventually fly away.

The car was briefly silent, just as she thought Dao An wouldn’t respond to her comment, he spoke—

"President Gu, I still think that one can’t be too attached to one thing, otherwise when it happens differently than one imagined, uncontrollable sadness will begin."

A person too deeply loved can only be kept in the heart.

Unrequited love is a silent drama, once spoken, it becomes a tragedy.

Gu Yuan understood the meaning in Dao An’s words, yet she didn’t understand why he was setting his future down this path: "You’re an extremely disciplined person, you’ve planned your future well, I thought you’d have Sheng Yi in your plans."

Dao An said: "It’s not suitable."

After pausing, he looked sideways at Gu Yuan, his smile was a bitter one: "Not every effort leads to results, I’ve always understood this."

Turns out, not every effort leads to results...

At this moment, Gu Yuan felt that this sentence was so bitter.

Her thoughts were somewhat lost, outside the car window suddenly came a head poking in, the hair was unkempt, no style at all, leaning in tilted the hair to one side, funny and amusing.

Then came a lion-like roar from the man: "Gu Xueli! Are you trying to dump me again!!"
