Gu Fanyan!

That person is Gu Fanyan!

He was certain he hadn't misread it!

It's been three years!

She doesn't look any different at all!

However, she didn't even glance in this direction, and hurriedly left after locking the car door.

He then came to his senses and immediately opened the car door, intending to chase after them.

"Beep! Beep beep!" The car behind honked its horn loudly.

His car was blocking the way, and there were already several cars lined up behind it.

He looked ahead again, but the beautiful woman had already disappeared.

He had no choice but to get back into his car and clear the road.

She's back.

When did she get back?

Why didn't he get any news at all?

A cell phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.

Lin's mother called to urge him.

He composed himself and went into the Western restaurant.

"Zhibai, you're late," Lin's mother scolded. "Today, there are other guests besides your third aunt."

"It's alright, the child is busy, managing such a big company, there's so much to do every day," Auntie said with a smile.

Lin Zhibai casually agreed and sat down next to his mother.

He couldn't hear what they said.

"Zhibai, Zhibai..." Suddenly, Lin's mother called his name several times.

He looked up and heard his third aunt say, "Zhibai, this is your uncle's distant niece, Chen Qiao."

He then noticed that there was a young woman sitting next to his aunt, smiling at him.

He nodded politely and said, "Hello."

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "This isn't the first time I've met you."

Lin Zhibai was slightly taken aback; he didn't remember ever seeing this girl before.

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "I often see you in financial magazines. The Lin family has achieved a lot in the past two years. You are great!"

Lin Zhibai politely said, "Thank you!"

“They seem to have a lot in common,” Auntie said with a smile. “Big sister, let them chat for a while, we’re going to touch up our makeup.”

The two sisters left hand in hand.

Lin Zhibai was a little confused, but Chen Qiao continued, "Should I call you Young Master Lin, or President Lin?"

Before Lin Zhibai could answer, she added, "Can I call you Brother Zhibai?"

Lin Zhibai frowned slightly. "You should still call me President Lin."

Chen Qiao pouted: "President Lin, it seems you still don't understand what's going on today."

What's going on today?

Just as he was about to ask, he caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Fanyan was walking through the restaurant's corridor toward the private dining area.

She is not alone.

Several men and women were also traveling with them.

She walked and talked with them, a faint smile on her face.

"What you are admiring is the stunning beauty of our CEO, Mr. Gu," Chen Qiao's voice rang out.

Gu Fanyan's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lin Zhibai then turned his gaze back to Chen Qiao's face: "President Gu?"

Chen Qiao nodded: "That's right, Gu Fanyan, the beautiful woman you were admiring just now is my boss."

“I am her financial director.”

Lin Zhibai vaguely recalled what his aunt had said about Chen Qiao earlier: "She has been working in Australia, a senior financial professional, and recently returned to China."

She returned to China with Gu Fanyan.

Lin Zhibai suppressed his excitement and asked, "My third aunt just said that you've been working in Australia, so why did you come back to China?"

"Because President Gu is back, she wants to set up a new branch in the city, so she brought several trustworthy professionals with her."

He only cared about one piece of information in such a long sentence.

She's back!

"Mr. Lin, why are your hands shaking?" Chen Qiao asked, puzzled. "Are you cold? Let me ask the waiter to get you a glass of hot water!"

"No need!" Lin Zhibai stood up. "Miss Chen, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Before Chen Qiao could answer, he had already turned and left.

By the time Gu Fanyan finished her work, it was already past 10 p.m.

She walked to the car and was about to get in when someone came over.

"President Gu."

Turning her head, she looked puzzled: "Director Chen?"

Chen Qiao stubbed out her cigarette, waved to dissipate the smell, and then said, "Yes, I saw you having dinner here with those business partners, so let's wait and see how your talks with them go."

"It went fairly smoothly." Gu Fanyan countered, "What are you doing here too?"

They got along well and became friends after working together in Australia for three years.

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "I was dragged here by my elders to go on a blind date."

"Going on blind dates right after returning to the country? The elders are really eager for you to get married!" Gu Fanyan asked with a smile, "So, are you satisfied with your blind date?"

Chen Qiao pursed her lips: "I'm quite satisfied, but I'm afraid others won't like me."

Gu Fanyan gestured for her to get in the car and offered her a ride.

"Looks down on you?" Gu Fanyan said while driving. "Who is this person? What reason would he have to look down on Director Chen, who is both beautiful and capable?"

"Lin Zhibai," Chen Qiao asked, "Does President Gu know the eldest son of the Lin family?"

Gu Fanyan's hand on the steering wheel froze slightly; she almost pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.

I was suddenly startled.

My back was slightly sweaty.

"We know each other," Gu Fanyan said as calmly as possible, "we've known each other since we were little."

Chen Qiao suddenly realized, "That's right, he's Young Master Lin, and you're Miss Gu. Your families must be old friends."

"Mr. Gu, how is Young Master Lin?"

Gu Fanyan gently bit her lip: "You saw him today, what's your impression of him?"

"He's so handsome!" Chen Qiao made no attempt to hide her infatuation. "Tall, handsome, rich, capable, and single—can you imagine finding such a bargain in the dating market?!"

Gu Fanyan stared ahead without saying a word.

Chen Qiao was so engrossed in her excitement that she didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Fanyan.

Suddenly, a question occurred to her, "Mr. Gu, is Mr. Lin keeping watch over someone? Otherwise, why would he be single?"

Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat.

Before she could speak, Chen Qiao had already answered her own question: "No, if he really had someone waiting for him, why would he come to a blind date? He's single, he must be too busy with work."

"Mr. Gu, do you think my analysis makes sense?"

Gu Fanyan stepped on the brake at the red light, smiled, and said calmly, "Hmm, I think your analysis makes a lot of sense."

Chen Qiao nodded happily: "Although my chances are slim, I still want to give it a try!"

"What if my ancestors accumulated good karma and I'm destined to marry into a wealthy family!"

Gu Fanyan glanced at her; her confident demeanor was quite amusing.

Why is she so confident?

Perhaps it was Lin Zhibai who gave her the possibility she hoped for.

After dropping Chen Qiao off at the subway station, Gu Fanyan drove home.

As she approached the Gu family's gate, she saw a sports car parked by the gate, and a familiar figure standing next to the car.

Although the car lights were dim, she could still make out the other person's face at a glance.

And the other person was looking at her.

Their eyes met.

He immediately stood up and walked over.

Gu Fanyan thought for a moment and then stepped on the brakes.

She opened the door and got out of the car, but only stood behind the door.

He had just walked around the front of the car and was walking towards her.

She didn't move, remaining in the angle formed by the car door and the car body.

I always kept a car door between us.
