Upon seeing these words, alarm bells went off in Yan Yirou's mind. Judging from the patterns she'd read in novels, he would definitely ask her to work for him, for a few days or a few months.

Yan Yirou immediately replied: 【Sorry, I don't know how to do anything.】

Gu Chenye: [...]

Yan Yirou: [Besides money, I have nothing.]

Gu Chenye: [...]

Yan Yirou: [I'll ask one last time, how much do you want? If you don't tell me, there won't be any penalty fee.]

Gu Chenye: [...]

Yan Yirou watched as his ellipses grew longer and longer, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

What's wrong with him? Is he too busy to reply right now, or is he just too speechless to talk?

Gu Chenye was speechless and didn't want to say anything.

Finally, he replied: "I'll be going to your house tomorrow. Your sincerity will determine what I say tomorrow."

Yan Yirou stared at her phone in utter shock.

He's back?

Wasn't it supposed to be a week later? He's back in just three days?

Yan Yirou paced back and forth in the room twice, wondering why he had suddenly sent her such a message when they had worked so well together before.

Could it be that knowing they've survived a life-or-death ordeal, they feel they'll live to be a hundred and have no worries?

Yan Yirou didn't want to send any more messages, so she threw her phone onto the bed.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Ji Xianli and Yan Yixuan have had a relationship. Unless he wants to break ties with the Yan family, he has no choice but to marry Yan Yixuan.

Yan Yirou felt that given his ambitions towards the Yan family, he wouldn't break off relations.

Therefore, she and Gu Chenye don't actually need to act anymore.

The more Yan Yirou thought about it, the bigger her smile became. As long as she found a suitable opportunity to break up, she and Gu Chenye wouldn't have to contact each other anymore. Once she was single again, she could do whatever she wanted.

After waiting for five or six minutes without receiving a message from Yan Yirou, Gu Chenye put his phone back in his pocket.

Just then, the car drove into the Gu residence.

Knowing that Shangguan Wu and the others were coming back, Ji Moyan did not go out today.

Job rushed in to report: "Madam, the Third Young Master, the Fourth Young Master, and the Fourth Young Mistress have returned."

Ji Moyan stood up and walked outside.

Just at the door, Gu Chenye saw her come out, put his hand on her shoulder, and led her to another living room.

"We know the way in, so there's no need for you to come out and greet us personally."

Once in the living room, Ji Moyan sat on the sofa and looked at them: "Who said I was here to pick you up? I just wanted to go out and get some sun."

"I made a mistake. I'll take you out to get some sun right away."

Gu Chenye made a move to pull her up.

"Go away, I don't want to go out now."

Ji Moyan slapped his outstretched hand, then took her daughter-in-law's hand and asked with concern, "Wu Bao, have you been sleeping well and eating well these past few days? Are you hungry now?"
