And what kind of image do I have? My hair is a mess, my face is pale, and I probably looked even worse when I was delirious with fever.

There's not much to say about her bare face; she looks great even without makeup, and she doesn't usually wear much makeup anyway.

…

While Wan Ge was still embarrassed and annoyed by her appearance today, Gu Yunji sat on the edge of the bed, recalling the scene when he went to see her earlier that day.

A blush instantly spread from her cheeks to her ears, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

After regaining his senses, he immediately slapped himself. What was he thinking? The person he loved was Chaoge, and they had agreed to get married.

But then he remembered Jin Chaoge's attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but lower his head and clench his hands.

During the few days I was away, she was probably having a great time with Zhou Mu. Would she even remember him?

…

Around midnight, Gu Yunji suddenly woke up from his dream, remembering how Wan Ge, dressed scantily, had touched him inappropriately in the dream.

He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, his Adam's apple bobbed, and after drinking a glass of ice water, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

How could he have such a dream? What's wrong with him?

…

The next day, Wan Ge felt completely recovered. He wanted to ask Gu Yunji about the next steps, but Gu Yunji didn't reply to his messages. So he couldn't help but ask the bodyguard who was with Gu Yunji.

Ask if the other person is still at the hotel.

The bodyguard quickly replied to her message, telling her that Gu Yunji had gone to the Chu family early that morning and that Gu Yunji had given her a day off so she could rest more and go back tomorrow.

After thanking him, Wan Ge felt a bit conflicted. Was the other person doing it on purpose? Was he genuinely worried about her health, or was it because she had upset him yesterday, so he simply wasn't taking her along?

Just when Wan Ge thought that the other party might already hate her, Gu Yunji suddenly knocked on his door that afternoon.

"I heard you're feeling much better today."

Wan Ge nodded: "I feel fine now, thank you, President Gu."

"You're welcome, it's nothing. We still have the afternoon. I heard there's a fireworks show tonight, would you like to go see it?"

Wan Ge was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other party would take the initiative to invite her to watch fireworks.

She was also confused about his actions. Didn't he like her sister? Didn't he not interact with any other women besides her? What was going on?

Or perhaps it's because he resembles his sister by about 50%, and their names are similar, so he wants him to be his stand-in.

It's not impossible. He loved her but couldn't have her, so he went to extremes and made himself a substitute for his sister. Isn't that common in those domineering CEO novels?

Wan Ge certainly wouldn't refuse. She had been trying to figure out how to get closer to him, so she was naturally happy to accept his invitation.

"It's my honor to go out and watch the fireworks with President Gu." Wan Ge smiled again.

Gu Yunji hummed in agreement and then left.

The bodyguard glanced at Wan Ge but ultimately said nothing.

Only after the bodyguard left did Wan Ge take the initiative to send him a message to ask if he had anything he wanted to say to her.

The other party replied quickly: "Having worked for the boss for five years, this is only the second time I've seen him treat someone like this. The first time was with Miss Jin."

When Wan Ge saw the message the other party sent, she became even more certain that Gu Yunji most likely wanted to find her to be his substitute.
