War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 364: We Don’t Have a Dad!

"Actually, nothing is impossible for me. Do you all remember five years ago when the President released that piece called ’Journey’? That was Gu Yan’s work. What a pity back then..."

The employees recalled their feelings when they heard that piece at the time. They were all amazed, especially shocked when they found out the composer was Gu Yan.

They never knew that Gu Yan, who seemed so ordinary, had such talent and abilities.

"That’s right, Gu Yan is quite talented. Otherwise, the President wouldn’t be so fond of someone so unremarkable."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Over these five years, the President has become harder to get along with. We’ve never seen him smile. If he knows Gu Yan isn’t dead and has come back, he’d definitely be very happy."

"I can’t wait for the President to reunite with Gu Yan. My god, these days with the President being so cold are just unbearable."

Everyone agreed enthusiastically.

The junior assistant led Gu Yan to the outside of the reception room door and knocked, "President Wang, Miss Gu Yan has arrived."

"Please, come in."

The junior assistant turned to Gu Yan and said, "Miss Gu Yan, President Wang is inside waiting for you. Please go in, I won’t disturb you any further."

"Thank you very much."

The junior assistant smiled slightly and then left.

Gu Yan pushed open the door to the reception room. President Wang, whom the junior assistant mentioned, was standing with her back to Gu Yan, pouring coffee.

Upon hearing the sound, she turned around. Seeing Gu Yan, her face instantly froze, and the hand holding the coffee trembled slightly, almost failing to grip the cup.

Noticing her losing composure, Gu Yan immediately sensed something and asked, "President Wang, you seem surprised to see me."

Wang Qi steadied herself and took a while to calm down before walking over with the coffee, offering Gu Yan a slight smile, "Miss Gu Yan, please sit."

They sat down facing each other, and Wang Qi pushed the coffee towards her, "I made the coffee myself, try it."

"Sure." Gu Yan took a sip and nodded, "It tastes good. But President Wang, you haven’t answered my previous question. I think this is our first meeting, so why did you have such a big reaction when you saw me?"

Could it be that we knew each other before?

Wang Qi’s gaze flickered slightly, of course she would have a big reaction.

Five years ago, they all knew Gu Yan was dead. Even though she learned yesterday that Gu Yan was alive and had returned, wanting to see her, she never expected it to be today, so soon.

She simply wasn’t prepared.

Gu Yan’s sudden appearance, without psychological preparation, caught her off guard. Even You Shuyang wouldn’t be able to remain calm in such a situation.

Her reaction was already considered fast.

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I’d always known the person in charge of memory was a very talented woman, but I didn’t expect her to be so young. It’s only natural for me to be surprised. I hope Miss Gu Yan won’t mind my earlier loss of composure."

Gu Yan stared closely at her expression, but now couldn’t detect any peculiarity.

She had no choice but to let it go for now and go along with her words, "Of course, I won’t mind. President Wang is also very young."

Wang Qi smiled outwardly, but inwardly felt extremely bitter.

They were clearly very good friends, yet they now saw each other as strangers, having to speak so politely.

It was a bitter feeling in her heart.

"Let’s talk about the cooperation then." Wang Qi took out the prepared contract documents and placed them in front of her, "Our company is eager to cooperate with you. I believe our company is also a great choice for memory."

...

Meanwhile, Tang Yuxiu was driving aimlessly on the streets with the two little kids, not really having any plan for today’s outing.

Tang Yuxiu was born and raised in Jiang City, but he’s a typical homebody. Besides work or being forced out by Lu Fusheng and the others, he rarely went anywhere.

The places he knew were where people in their circle went, not suitable for children at all.

So, at this moment, he was indecisive about where to take them for fun.

What do kids even play with?

Is there any place in Jiang City specifically for kids to play?

As a new father, having not been with the children since their birth or watched them grow up, he was clueless about taking care of kids.

Young Master Tang expressed confusion about the way forward.

The two kids sat in the back, leaning against the car window, looking outside.

They had been driving for almost an hour and hadn’t stopped.

"Handsome brother, where are you taking us to play?"

Tang Yuxiu kept his eyes on the road ahead, feeling a bit guilty, "You wanted to tour Jiang City, so... this can also be considered touring."

Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao, "..."

Why did this handsome brother suddenly become so slow?

Gu Xiaonian pouted, "Handsome brother, what’s so good about this? It’s so boring, and besides, this isn’t playing at all!"

Gu Xiaobao said, "Handsome brother, we wanted you to take us to have fun, fun! Not a drive around."

"Where’s the wind here? We didn’t open the sunroof, not even the windows."

Tang Yuxiu, "..."

He’d easily handle a billion-dollar deal and take care of it, but this kind of thing, he genuinely had no idea what to do.

"This is my first time taking kids out to play, I don’t know what to do. Tell me where you’d like to go, and I’ll take you there."

Upon hearing this, the Two Treasures simultaneously gave Tang Yuxiu a contemptuous look, "Handsome brother, this is our first time in Jiang City, too. If we knew where was fun, why would we need you to take us?"

"Yeah, if we knew, we could just go by ourselves."

Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly, "How can you go by yourselves at such a young age!"

Fortunately, they didn’t know any fun places in Jiang City, or else it would be dangerous for the two little kids to run off on their own.

"We go out to play on our own at home, what’s wrong with that?"

Tang Yuxiu’s brows furrowed even more, "And your mom, doesn’t she accompany you?"

"Mom is very busy with work and doesn’t have much time to be with us."

"What could be so important that she neglects even her kids?" Tang Yuxiu’s tone carried a hint of blame.

Children are very sensitive; they heard the blame in Tang Yuxiu’s tone and immediately got angry, defending their mom.

"Mommy needs to earn money to support the family, to buy us the best food and things, of course, she’s busy!"

"We don’t have a dad, so Mommy has to do all that. She almost works through the night every day and has fainted several times in the studio, ending up in the hospital. She’s working so hard to give us the best life, me and Gu Xiaonian!"

"That’s right. I and Gu Xiaobao don’t have a dad. We’re so young, no one would hire us, so we can only rely on Mommy."
