War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 300: Women Really Are Troublesome

Gu Yan then opened Yan Shuo’s hand, and said, "Also, I need to tell you. Stop messing up my hair."

Gu Yan inherently disliked people touching her head, as if she were a preschooler.

Moreover, Tang Yuxiu also liked to touch her head, often with a doting look in his eyes.

She couldn’t help but think of him.

Everything they had experienced and gone through together seemed to permeate every corner of her life.

But Yan Shuo couldn’t understand her thoughts, he only found it amusing and exasperating, "You’re a patient right now, staying indoors every day, often lying down, who are you trying to look nice for?"

"Aren’t you a person? Aren’t Uncle Fu and Xiao Hui people? Can’t I look good for myself?"

Yan Shuo watched her showing her girlish side in front of him, their interaction had become much more casual, even joking with him without any awkwardness, which made him really happy.

He was helpless, so he went along with her, "Alright, alright, my bad, I’ll try not to touch your head next time."

"Not just try, you must!"

"Fine!" Yan Shuo was just about ready to do whatever she said!

Gu Yan was satisfied.

...

Wang Qi hadn’t seen Gu Yan at work for several days, and her calls wouldn’t go through.

So, she directly cornered You Shuyang in the parking lot.

"What’s going on with Gu Yan?"

She asked directly, her brow furrowed.

You Shuyang’s expression flickered slightly, he scratched his nose, and said, "You should ask the President about that."

"Why would I ask him?! If I find out something’s wrong, I might not be able to resist giving him a slap!"

You Shuyang blinked, a bit shocked, "Girl, you’d dare to slap the President?"

That’s pretty gutsy.

Wang Qi snorted coldly, "Of course I wouldn’t actually want to hit people, so it’s best if your President hasn’t bullied Gu Yan."

You Shuyang silently sighed, does breaking up count as bullying?

You Shuyang felt a bit anxious.

Wang Qi pointed at him fiercely, "Spill it, what’s going on!"

You Shuyang was forced to take a step back, his face drooping, "Girl, I’m really not clear on the private matters between the President and Miss Gu. Anyway, the President has been working himself to death these days, I had to get Second Young Master Tang to come over to persuade him to take a break."

If Xiang Linghao hadn’t also collapsed today, prompting him to rush to the hospital to check on things and coincidentally saw the old man leaving the company, he didn’t know how long he would have stayed at the company.

Wang Qi frowned, "Just like last time..." she was shocked, her eyes widened as she couldn’t help but curse, "Damn, Gu Yan didn’t get driven away by him again, did she!"

You Shuyang quickly defended the President, "Hey, don’t jump to conclusions. This time it’s got nothing to do with the President."

Wang Qi gave him a sidelong glance, crossed her arms with a proud posture, her eyes carrying a clear threat.

"You Shuyang, Assistant You, I advise you to be honest with me, otherwise..." she clenched her fist, "you better be smart!"

You Shuyang discreetly swallowed, pressing his fist to his lip as he coughed dryly a few times, "Wang Qi, it’s not that I want to hide it from you or not tell you the truth, it’s just that it’s not that simple."

Wang Qi had a bad feeling, "What’s the matter?"

You Shuyang looked around, and said, "The parking lot’s not the place to talk, let’s find somewhere else, and I’ll explain in detail."

"Alright."

Wang Qi and You Shuyang got in the car, found a restaurant, and sat at the innermost booth.

You Shuyang handed her the menu, "Order first, it’s getting late, it’s dinner time, we can talk while we eat."

Wang Qi was straightforward, took the menu, and ordered without hesitation.

After ordering, she looked up and joked, "Assistant You, are you treating this meal?"

You Shuyang, "...I’m treating."

Wang Qi laughed, "Alright, don’t look so gloomy, let’s split the bill, I won’t take advantage of you."

You Shuyang was silent for a moment, not taking advantage of me? Who exactly took advantage of me that day!

Even dared to show me attitude afterward, and I couldn’t even retaliate, had to "bite the bullet and endure it."

Women really are the most unreasonable creatures!

Sometimes he envied those in relationships, other times he felt women were too difficult to handle, better stay away.

Sigh... being a person is really hard, such contradictions.

Seeing him silent, Wang Qi was puzzled, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." You Shuyang shook his head, "If I say I’m treating then I’m treating, a man making a million a year still splitting the bill with a woman for a meal is embarrassing!"

Wang Qi snorted, "Big men only care about face, alright, I won’t argue with you. Just tell me what’s going on between Gu Yan and your President, it seems more serious than before?"

You Shuyang sighed, "It’s not a quarrel, this time it should be completely broken. No room for reconciliation."

Wang Qi’s expression was a bit heavy, listening as You Shuyang recounted the events between Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu.

After listening, she leaned back in her chair, silent for a while, and asked, "Are you really sure?"

"The President doesn’t want to believe it’s certain, so he’s having me look into it more detail."

"And how’s your investigation going?"

You Shuyang said helplessly, "The President just asked me to investigate today, I haven’t even started yet. Besides, this all happened over ten years ago, it’s too long ago, it’s difficult to investigate, I need some time."

Wang Qi awkwardly tugged at her mouth, "Alright, I’m just a bit anxious."

"You’re concerned about Miss Gu."

"Where is she now? Did she go back to the Yan family?"

"No, I heard she’s unwell and was hospitalized?"

Upon hearing that, Wang Qi appeared anxious and worried, "Which hospital? I want to visit her."

"My friend’s hospital, I’m heading there later, want to come with me?"

Wang Qi agreed without a second thought.

She finished her dinner in just a few bites and started urging him, "Done eating? Let’s go."

You Shuyang, "...I really suspect you have a thing for Gu Yan, such urgency."

Wang Qi rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I like her! As a friend! What junk do you have in your head, you big man?! Wouldn’t you be anxious if your friend had something happen?"

You Shuyang was scolded, he wisely kept quiet, ate his dinner silently, speeding up his pace.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable with her concern for Gu Yan.

He seemed to wish all her attention was on him, no leftover time for anything else.

Even if it was her good friend, a woman, he wasn’t really pleased.

This feeling was really strange, made him feel uncomfortable inside.

Whenever he faced this woman, something always felt off, unable to completely control his emotions and whatnot.

Couldn’t figure it out!

Damn! Women are such trouble! Especially the one opposite him.

Assistant You, in silent complaint, finished his dinner quickly and called the waiter for the bill.
