As Su Ning was about to leave the office, she heard hurried footsteps outside. She gripped the watch on the table tightly, ready to call for help from Chu Feng and the others if anything went wrong.

Although the Gu family has a lot of security guards at night, it is unlikely that anything will go wrong.

As the footsteps drew closer, Su Ning, who had been staring at the door, saw the man's indifferent face. Her heart, which had been in her throat, instantly settled back into place, and she carefully placed the watch on the table again.

Why are you still here?

Gu Jingchen spoke first, asking with displeasure.

Su Ning looked at him as he entered, wondering why he was there!

Early in the morning, Gu Jingchen went to the east of the city and was busy until after 5 p.m. Later, he was called by Fu Yunmo to "Jingyin" for drinks, but no matter how important the matter was, it was not as important as her.

"I just happen to have some things I haven't finished."

Staring down at her from above, Su Ning saw anger in Gu Jingchen's eyes and instinctively tried to back away, but she couldn't.

"Mr. Gu, are you also working overtime?"

Su Ning pursed her lips and smiled to calm the panic in her heart.

Looking at his cold face, Su Ning really wanted to throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly in a soft voice, just like before.

"Jingchen, Jingchen, don't be angry. I'm so scared when you're angry."

She doesn't dare now.

"Su Ning, do you want the whole of Nancheng to know that I'm abusing my newlywed wife?"

Gu Jingchen asked in a cold voice. He was really angry and wanted to beat her up.

Knowing full well that he's not in good health, he still has to work overtime here.

“No.” His questioning made Su Ning’s smile freeze. “I wanted to finish the work as soon as possible.”

In the past four years, she has not had a proper job, but she has never given up design.

Because besides dancing, design is the only thing she can do.

"unnecessary."

Gu Jingchen said in a low voice. He suddenly bent down and moved closer to Su Ning. When Su Ning saw his handsome face magnified, especially his deep eyes that seemed to draw her in like a whirlpool, her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, she was off the wheelchair and into Gu Jingchen's arms.

"Gu Jingchen!"

Su Ning cried out in panic. She was afraid of being held like this, even though Gu Jingchen had already held her several times. Besides, he could just push her to the elevator.

"Don't move!" Gu Jingchen replied angrily. He glanced at Su Ning, whose face had turned pale, and as he walked towards the door, he thought of an excuse, "The elevator is out of service, I'll carry you downstairs."

Is the elevator out of service?

When did it become useless? No one mentioned it when she left work. Su Ning's mind raced. In any case, Gu Jingchen was already carrying her towards the corridor.

Xu Yi, who was following behind them, heard Gu Jingchen lie without batting an eye, saying that the elevator was broken. She curled her lips and wanted to burst out laughing.

Even when he wants to hug someone, the man has to come up with such a lame excuse.

He shook his head speechlessly, went over and pushed Su Ning's wheelchair out of the office. As he walked out, his gaze inadvertently fell on a table—no, on something shiny on the table.

The weather was great tonight, with countless stars, and thanks to the streetlights of the Gu family, the surroundings were not dim, and everyone's faces were clearly visible.

Su Ning stared at him, and as soon as Gu Jingchen lowered his head, she immediately leaned down and snuggled into his arms.

He smelled strongly of tobacco, so much so that Su Ning pressed herself even closer to him.

There's a distance between the design department and the main gate of the Gu family's headquarters, a walk that takes about seven or eight minutes. Gu Jingchen was carrying someone in his arms.

Su Ning was much lighter than before, but she still had weight to her body. When they were halfway there, the headlights of a car in front shone on them, so bright that Gu Jingchen's face darkened and he stared intently at the oncoming car.
