Chapter 132: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (43)

When Wen Wan woke up the next morning, she smelled the aroma of food. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Sheng busy in the kitchen. All of this felt familiar and warm to Wen Wan, as if it were the same time when she came to the Gu family for tutoring. Except that the person cooking had become more mature, indicating that many years had passed.

Seeing that she was awake, Gu Sheng placed breakfast on the table and said, "Awake? Are you hungry? I bought you toiletries and put them over there. Go brush your teeth and wash your face, then have breakfast."

Wen Wan got out of bed, washed up quickly, and sat down opposite Gu Sheng. "This was a bit rushed, so please make do with this. I'll make it better next time."

Wen Wan: "I really like it, I won't compromise at all."

As she picked up an ear of corn to eat, Gu Sheng kept staring intently at her. Wen Wan subconsciously felt that she should be mindful of her image, so she ate the corn in small bites. Although Wen Wan had recognized Gu Sheng last night, thinking back on it now, it still felt like a dream.

Why would Gu Sheng believe she was the deceased Liu Yayue? No, she wasn't Liu Yayue either; she was A Yuan.

"Are you not used to me looking like this?" Wen Wan asked with some concern in her eyes. After all, she and Liu Yayue looked completely different. Liu Yayue was bright and beautiful, while she was just cute. In terms of looks, she was not as pretty as Liu Yayue.

Gu Sheng smiled and patted Wen Wan's head, then gently flicked it. "What are you thinking? No matter what you look like, as long as you are A-Wan, I will love you."

“I can clearly tell the difference between you and Liu Yayue. Even though you have the same face, you are still two different people. Now it seems that it’s no wonder you have such a gentle temper. You just have a gentle appearance.”

With her delicate features and non-threatening appearance, Gu Sheng felt that she was unforgettable at first sight; this was the true and complete A-Yuan.

"I won't ask where you come from, nor will I ask why you became Liu Yayue. As long as you're here, that's enough."

Wen Yan: "..."

Where did she come from?

Can you really believe someone was struck by lightning and died? Who would believe that?

"Then I won't ask about your secrets. Let's just live our lives in a daze." What did Gu Sheng experience after his rebirth? It must have been a very bad experience. If he followed the original plot, he would have been deceived and abandoned by the original Liu Ya Yue, Grandma Gu would have died of a heart attack, and Xiao Shu Yun would have been taken away by Liu Mei Yun. What happened after that? For Liu Mei Yun to hate him so much and for him to be so ruthless towards her, Liu Mei Yun and the Lu family must have committed heinous crimes.

Gu Sheng wiped the corn off Wen Wan's face. "Okay, but I need to clarify one thing: I have never liked Qin Yueyue, so whatever information you receive is not me."

Wen Yan: "..."

In fact, Wen Wan already knew. She didn't see any ambiguous atmosphere between the two. If they loved each other in their past life, how could Gu Sheng be indifferent in this life?

However, this is good news.

They both knew the other had many secrets, but neither cared; all they cared about was the present moment.

After breakfast, Wen Wan was taken home by Gu Sheng. After Grandma Gu passed away, Xiao Shuyun also entered the workforce and worked as an intern reporter while on a business trip in another city.

So now Gu Sheng is the only one left at home—no, there are two of them now.

"Do you want to see your parents?" Gu Sheng was referring to Liu's parents, of course. Wen Wan shook her head. "They are doing very well now, and I don't want to disturb them."

Liu Yayue is gone; they need to start a new life.

She briefly enjoyed her parents' love, and although the time was short, Wen Wan was already content.

Gu Sheng stayed with Wen Wan all day. Wen Wan saw Gu Sheng's phone light up countless times, only to be hung up by Gu Sheng.

"Is the company alright?" Wen Wan asked Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng replied, "I'm planning to take my five-year leave as well. If the company can't function without me, Wei Cheng might as well not live."

Wen Yan: "..."

This familiar plot, poor Wei Cheng.

Gu Sheng accompanied Wen Wan to buy clothes and supplies, and to see a movie. Gu Sheng was still the same Gu Sheng who was afraid when watching horror movies and was held in Wen Wan's arms. She was also the Gu Sheng who would kiss her at the top of the Ferris wheel and cook three meals a day for her, feeding this little good-for-nothing.

Meanwhile, Wei Cheng was forced to learn about Gu Sheng's leave request at the last minute. Moreover, the fact that she approved her own leave and that it would last for half a year was outrageous.

Forced into the task, Wei Cheng was fortunate to be able to manage the company under Gu Sheng's high pressure, especially with the assistance of Qin Fang and a few others, so there were no problems whatsoever.

"Does anyone know why President Gu suddenly took leave? Even when that person passed away, he only took a week off before returning to work." Although Gu Sheng wasn't in a good state, he hadn't smiled once in five years and had turned into a moving iceberg again.

Qin Fang, who might know a little bit of the inside story, felt that the state of President Gu when he left that day might be the reason.

"You're another boss in the company, why don't you go and visit President Gu? And while you're at it, try to find out some information?" Qin Fang suggested.

Why don't you go?

"I don't have time. After get off work, I have to pick up my daughter from kindergarten. She just started kindergarten this year." Qin Fang got married to a university teacher, and the two have a very good relationship.

"Then why not Lao Sui? You're so good at reading people's micro-expressions, no one can hide anything from you, you're the most suitable one."

Hou Yu declined, saying, "My mom is arranging blind dates for me, I don't have time."

Wei Cheng looked at Xue Liao, who was playing games. Xue Liao was about to say something when Wei Cheng grabbed his neck and said, "Don't tell me you have a daughter or are on blind dates. You're the most idle person in the whole company. You're coming with me."

Xue Liao: "..."

...

The two discussed it and then brought the gifts to the door.

When we got to the door, we pushed and shoved each other, neither of us wanting to go up and knock.

"You wanted to come, so go ahead."

"I'm the boss, I'm ordering you to go."

"What era are we living in? Fine, just fire me then, I'm not going anyway."

"I'll deduct your salary."

The two chattered away, and the door opened the next second.

The two men immediately stood at attention, looking at Gu Sheng who opened the door. "We're here to deliver a gift. Boss, have you been sick for so many days?"

Xue Liao immediately said, "Wei Cheng sent this; I know nothing about it."

"you--"

"Come in, and remember to change your shoes."

"Okay, okay." Watching Gu Sheng turn and go inside, Wei Cheng and Xue Liao exchanged a glance. "He didn't give us a cold look? He even invited us in as guests? He seems to be in a good mood? Then we're all set."

Upon entering the house, the two were shocked to see a strange woman waving at them from the sofa.

Good heavens, when did Gu Sheng start having a second female in his house besides Shuyun?
