Chapter 115: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (26)

No, no, none of this is right. According to the original plot, shouldn't Gu Sheng have strongly rejected his advances? How could she have agreed so easily? Didn't she overdo it with her mission?

The system was also bewildered, and subconsciously said, "Why is he like this?"

Wen Wan: "How would I know?"

Looking completely bewildered, Wen Wan walked with Gu Sheng to Mengxin Technology. She tried to pull her hand away, but Gu Sheng held it tightly. "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to be my girlfriend? Or are you lying to me?"

No, absolutely not.

As she passed through the lobby, all the company employees turned to look at her. One employee even dropped his coffee. Wen Wan could only cover her face with her other hand. "Boss! Look at the situation now! I can't figure this out."

The system didn't answer, so Wen Wan called out a few more times, "System? System? Is that bastard listening?"

System: [Do not prompt me, I'm currently in a state of self-isolation.]

Wen Yan: "..."

The system can shut down? That's quite humane, but it's still useless.

As soon as the two entered the elevator, the employees erupted in chaos. "Holy crap, am I blind? What did I just see? Wasn't Mr. Gu holding hands with a woman? Was that Mr. Gu's girlfriend? Am I heartbroken?"

"They're holding hands now, she's probably our future boss's wife. Did anyone take a picture? Did you get a good look at what the boss's wife looks like?"

"No, I spilled my coffee in fright."

"..."

Meanwhile, Wei Cheng and his group rushed to Gu Sheng's office. The moment he opened the door, Wei Cheng quickly greeted him, "Boss, you didn't tell us you had a girlfriend, and you even kept it a secret from us brothers. That's not very kind of you!"

Then, turning around, he saw Gu Sheng's girlfriend and asked with a puzzled look, "Have we met before?"

When Wen Wan saw Wei Cheng, she remembered him. The two of them had met at the hospital before, and he was this greasy guy who had hit on her.

No, you might be mistaken.

"Really? But I feel like I know you very well," Wei Cheng said. Gu Sheng glanced at Wei Cheng. "Are you very free?"

"I'm very busy, but no matter how busy I am, I still have to see my sister-in-law." Wei Cheng took advantage of the situation verbally and quickly ran behind Sui Houyu, but Gu Sheng didn't mind, probably because his girlfriend was there.

Wen Wan: Awkward.

Your sister-in-law shouldn't be her! It should be the female lead.

Where is the female lead?

Luckily, the female lead didn't see this scene. Just as Wen Wan thought this, the door opened, and the female lead, Qin Yueyue, walked in, looking at her with a "kind" expression and bright eyes. Wen Wan: I'm doomed!

Wen Wan subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Gu Sheng held it tightly. Gu Sheng glanced at Qin Yueyue and then introduced her, "Liu Yayue, my girlfriend. Please take good care of her from now on."

Qin Yueyue: "Hello, Miss Liu."

Xue Liao and the others introduced themselves and greeted everyone. Wen Wan could only nod with an awkward smile. She was almost at a loss as to how to salvage this situation. May this hellish scene be destroyed!

The system is also confused.

Seeing how much affection the female lead has for her is going up, please, female lead, your future boyfriend has been stolen by the female supporting character, why are you looking so happy? Is this the kind of plot a female lead should have?

In the original story, Xue Liao loathed Liu Ya Yue and never said anything nice to her. But here, he calls her "sister-in-law" and is so sweet-talking that he is a completely different person from the one in the original story.

Don't you, a male supporting character who secretly loves the female lead, have any professional ethics?

Hou Yu, you're a psychology professor, can't you see your host's terrible acting? Are you all blind?

The one who deserves the most criticism is the male lead. Why did you so easily accept a woman who abandoned you for five years and is also materialistic? Did you just abandon the female lead and forget about her?

system:【……】

Damn it, destroy the mission! How bizarre are these readers' tastes? Aren't there a lot of you shipping the official pairings?

The system went to find the readers who were shipping the official couple and found that they were all discrediting each other and going to follow a cult. Even the biggest recording incident was turned into evidence of Gu Sheng's doting on his wife.

This also gave rise to a famous couple quote: Even though I know she lied to me, I still love her.

Cult fan: It's exciting.

System: Humans are sick.

"Where do you work, sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, how old are you? You look so young!"

"Sister-in-law, how could you fall for him? He's not good enough for you; he's got such an icy demeanor."

Xue Liao kept talking, and Wei Cheng was also talking non-stop beside him, while Qin Fang just stared at the two of them like they were idiots.

Meanwhile, Sui Houyu was observing the two people involved, his eyes behind his glasses sparkling. They were so interesting, these two were great research material.

"Since you two are so free, I think you two should go to the project in Licheng."

Wei Cheng and Xue Liao: "..."

"Boss, I was wrong."

"Brother Gu, I was wrong."

Qin Fang, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "President Gu, please don't make things difficult for them. I'll take them with me."

She reached out and led Wei Cheng and Xue Liao away, one in each hand, while Sui Houyu followed behind. Qin Yueyue looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes and quietly left.

Wen Yan: "..."

I'm so confused, why did all these people leave?

Could you take her with you? She's suffocating; being alone in a room with Gu Sheng is terrifying.

What are you worried about? Are you afraid of me?

"No, I'm not scared."

"Your voice is trembling." Gu Sheng reached out and smoothed Wen Wan's hair. "Don't be nervous. They all like you. I won't ask what you don't want to say, but I hope that one day you can tell me the truth."

Wen Wan: "Okay."

After that, Gu Sheng started working, while Wen Wan played on her phone next to her. Then, Xue Liao, who had just added her as a friend, pulled her into a group chat.

Xue Liao: [Welcome, sister-in-law, to the team.]

Qin Fang: [Welcome.]

Sui Houyu: [Welcome.]

Wei Cheng: [I remember now, we met at the hospital. Don't tell the big boss I gave you my business card, or he'll tear it up.]

Sui Houyu: [Screenshot taken.]

Wei Cheng retracted a message.

Qin Yueyue: [Don't worry, Sister Ya Yue, President Gu isn't in this group. Whatever you want to know, we'll answer it all without reservation.]

Wen Wan: Female lead, do you really need to be so proactive?

Wen Wan sent a red envelope and received a bunch of compliments from her sister-in-law, and also gained a lot of unnecessary knowledge, including what Gu Sheng likes to eat, what he likes to drink, what foods he dislikes, and what his habits are...

Qin Yueyue added Wen Wan's friend on WeChat and then sent her a private message: "Sister Ya Yue, you and President Gu knew each other before, right? You were high school classmates, weren't you? I've seen your photo before. I swear I saw it by accident. Please don't tell President Gu."

Wen Yan: "..."

[President Gu must have remained chaste for you all these years; he's so devoted! What an amazing love story!]

【Sister Ya Yue, you and President Gu are a perfect match. I will be your staunch supporter from now on.】

Wen Wan: Female lead, you'll regret this.
