Gu Feng was speechless, only able to laugh awkwardly and use drinking to cover up his guilty conscience.

It seems that Jiang Mianmian is very protective of her husband; it will probably be difficult to get any useful information out of her anytime soon.

Gu Feng put down his wine glass. It was a bit hot today. This hotel was strange; the air conditioning was so high that he was sweating profusely after just a couple of sips of red wine.

And so far, not even a single cold dish has been served, and there's nothing on the table except for a bottle of red wine!

Gu Feng frowned. Was this still the Best Level restaurant known for its service and food?

He pressed the bell, but after a long time, none of the waiters seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Gu Feng was extremely embarrassed. He had invited someone to dinner but ended up with nothing. He had never been so humiliated in his life!

Huo Junyu, hiding behind the decorative wall, had a slight smile on his lips.

"Uh, it's probably because there are too many customers today, and we don't have enough staff!" Gu Feng could only try to smooth things over with this explanation.

Jiang Mianmian showed no mercy: "Is it too much? Mr. Gu, you've cleared the whole place. It's just the two of us in the restaurant today!"

"this……"

Gu Feng's face flushed red instantly, and he felt a lump in his throat.

"Oh, by the way," he changed the subject again, "Miss Jiang is in the same class as my niece, studying architectural design, right?"

Jiang Mianmian nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"Heh, I admire Ms. Jiang's achievements. With achievements like yours, you would be a key talent that any large company would focus on developing."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Ms. Jiang, I really hope you can become my assistant."

Gu Feng chuckled, holding the wine glass in his hand and gently twirling it twice.

Since he couldn't get any information out of her at the dinner table, he decided to take it slow. This was the second time he had suggested she work at Gu's... Jiang Mianmian was, after all, a student, and an internship opportunity at Gu's was like a windfall for her.

Although she didn't accept it last time, this time the pie fell into her lap again.

She had no reason not to answer.

Gu Feng smiled and waited quietly for her answer.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mianmian calmly asked after a moment of composure, "Mr. Gu, you're asking me to work because of Gu Zihan's plagiarism, and you're trying to use this job to shut me up, aren't you?"

"Uh..." Gu Feng really didn't mean that.

He wanted to use this job to find out Huo Yu's identity!

However, since the matter had already come to this point, he couldn't reveal anything, so he could only say, "Last time I heard from your husband that he also has other information about Zihan, so I..."

"I see." Jiang Mianmian smiled. "Mr. Gu, my husband also said last time that as long as the Gu family doesn't cause us any trouble, we'll just keep to ourselves and live in peace."

"So please rest assured, Mr. Gu, my husband is a man of his word, a true and upright man. He will not secretly expose Gu Zihan's dirty secrets."

“As for you,” Jiang Mianmian stood up and looked into his eyes, “pretend I didn’t come today, and we’ve never met before.”

"I won't accept your job. Gu Zihan's scandals are my weapons of self-defense, and I hope you can understand and not take them away from me. Let's call it even!"

After saying that, Jiang Mianmian turned around gracefully, leaving him with only a dashing back view.

Gu Feng sat in his seat, somewhat lost in thought.

Jiang Mianmian is clearly a young girl, still in school, and the same age as her niece...

But why does Gu Zihan never have this calm, composed, elegant, and confident aura?

His words were impeccable, yet they carried an undeniable sense of pressure that compelled one to submit...

Gu Feng took a deep breath.

They really are a couple... Talking to them gives me the same feeling, in one word: exhausting!

And it was also tiring and nerve-wracking.

Gu Feng was in a state of frustration. He hadn't been able to ask the questions he wanted to, and to make matters worse, the hotel hadn't even served any food!

"Hey!" he shouted, ringing the bell loudly, "Where is everyone? Where did they all go? Did they get carbon monoxide poisoning in the kitchen?!"

*

Huo Junyu followed Jiang Mianmian all the way to the hall.

Jiang Mianmian sensed someone behind her and suddenly became alert. Just as she was about to shout for help, she turned around and met a pair of clear, black and white eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and after staring at him for a long while, she asked softly, "You... why are you here?"

Huo Junyu looked at her and kept smiling.

He listened to everything they said, and he was overjoyed, especially when he heard the words "my husband" appearing frequently.

However, Jiang Mianmian was startled by his expression. She looked left and right, then stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch his forehead...

"What are you doing?" Huo Junyu laughed. "I don't have a fever!"

“Oh,” Jiang Mianmian paused, “I just feel that… someone who usually has a stern face suddenly smiling like that is probably up to no good!”

"you……"

Huo Junyu glared at her.

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but laugh, but not wanting him to see, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. However, the quick-thinking man grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the hotel.

Just one street to the side is the city's bustling commercial street.

The summer sun scorches the earth, but the good thing about Jiangzhou is that even in the sweltering heat, the city's breeze remains cool.

As she ran, the breeze lifted Jiang Mianmian's hair and brushed aside her bangs, revealing a smile sweeter than a peach.

She held Huo Yu's hand tightly, looking at his broad shoulders, and her face quietly flushed.

The two arrived at the pedestrian street, and Huo Junyu saw one for sale by the roadside, so he bought it and brought it over.

Just as Jiang Mianmian was about to take it, he suddenly raised it high.

"Hey, you..."

"Want some?" the man chuckled. "I'll give you some if I can get it!"

Jiang Mianmian reached out on tiptoe to reach it.
