He recognized the wrong person and offended Xia Xiaomo, which almost caused a disaster.
Thinking about this, Su An stood in front of the desk and placed the tray in his hand on the table.
Then, as usual, he whispered, "Mr. Gu, your breakfast. Because you had an upset stomach last night, I took the liberty of canceling the coffee and replacing it with white porridge. Please drink some while it's hot."
Su An's tone was free of any emotion, only professional.
Gu Jingchen, however, had no appetite at all and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Xia Xiaomo's performance...
It was really beyond his imagination.
It's not like the reaction of a normal woman after what happened last night and this morning!
The atmosphere was unusually quiet.
Su An put Gu Jingchen's breakfast on the table, then stepped aside and stood there silently, waiting for Gu Jingchen to speak.
A while——
"last night……"
Gu Jingchen finally spoke.
But he only said two words and stopped.
Yesterday, although he was the one who initiated it, Xia Xiaomo did not seem to put up any fierce resistance in her vague memory.
If he hadn't realized yesterday that he had recognized the wrong person, what would have happened next?
Gu Jingchen frowned slightly, not daring to think about it too much.
But no matter what, the irreparable consequences did not happen after all.
He was the first to grab the man, which was also very practical.
After pausing for a few seconds, Gu Jingchen finally continued, "I'm sorry for what happened last night."
Su An was startled when he heard this. Just as he was about to say it was okay, he heard Gu Jingchen continue, "You... should have heard a lot of gossip from Lu Ziying. These things have nothing to do with you. They are my personal private matters."
Su An didn't know what Gu Jingchen wanted to say next, so she pursed her lips slightly and swallowed back what she had just said.
Gu Jingchen also fell silent, his eyes slowly looking at the photo on the table.
After a long while, he continued in a deep voice, "The photo you saw that day was of me and my wife. She..."
As Gu Jingchen spoke, his eyes unconsciously swept towards Su An, observing his reaction.
"Because I made some mistakes and broke her heart, so... she left me. You two do have some similarities in your figures. I was too drunk last night and accidentally recognized the wrong person..."
This was the first time that Gu Jingchen patiently spoke about his life to a "stranger".
But the person in front of him did not show the reaction he expected.
Not even a ripple.
Gu Jingchen couldn't help but let his eyes slowly fall on his waist again. After a quick glance, he immediately looked away, his heart full of hesitation.
Xia Xiaomo's "no attitude" towards this matter actually made him feel a little overwhelmed.
He couldn't just ask directly to check if she had any tattoos, right?
The air inexplicably fell silent again.
Su An has also been observing Gu Jingchen quietly.
After finally confirming that he seemed to just want to explain what happened last night and didn't want to fire her, Su An finally felt a little relieved.
Gu Jingchen had almost finished what he said...it was her turn to take action!
Thinking about it, she suddenly took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gu, about what happened last night..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchen immediately looked up at her.
Then Su An said in a steady tone, "I'm not stupid. I guessed something from the conversation between you and Mr. Lu, but this is related to your private affairs. I know I shouldn't interfere, so I asked around. No matter what the reason was for you to keep me, for me, this is just a job. I believe that during this period of time, I have also fully proved my work ability in front of you. As for what happened last night..."
Su An said, and suddenly paused for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Then he continued, "Regarding last night, after returning home just now, I have thought a lot, but I know that Mr. Gu is not the kind of person who is tempted by beauty. Yesterday... I could feel that Mr. Gu seemed very... sad."
Su An thought for a while and gave these two words.
Gu Jingchen's eyes darkened, and the deepest part of his heart seemed to be gently touched by something.
Su An also continued, "That's why I was a little scared yesterday, and forgot to push it away for a moment, because... I also thought of my lover, who... has also left me."
As Su An spoke, he couldn't help but think of Lu Ziting's warm and gentle little face, and his tone was full of sadness that he couldn't hide.
The emotions at this moment are also the most sincere, without a trace of acting.
Gu Jingchen was stunned when he heard this.
Su An didn't want to reveal too much, so he took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, "So, Mr. Gu, I don't mind what happened last night. If you are still willing to keep me, I will pretend that nothing happened and continue to be your assistant. If you feel uncomfortable outside of work and want to find someone to chat, I am willing to accompany you. If... if you decide to cancel my position because of what happened last night, I will accept it."
Su An threw out the option of "resigning" and lowered his head waiting for Gu Jingchen's response.
She said she was calm and composed, but in fact, her hands hanging at her sides had already been clenched tightly.
She is gambling.
Based on my understanding of Gu Jingchen's work during this period, as long as I say this, there is a high probability that this matter can be turned over!
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything.
But his brows were still furrowed, and his index finger tapped the table again and again, as if he was thinking about something.
A while——
"Let's get back to work."
He finally uttered four words in a deep voice.
These four words were like a special pardon, and Su An immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Su An hurriedly thanked him, and then immediately turned and walked out of the office door.
Halfway through the walk, he remembered something and turned back to remind her, "Mr. Gu, remember to eat your breakfast."
"Um."
Gu Jingchen responded.
Su An didn't say anything more and really left this time.
The office door opened and closed, and the room fell into silence again.
Gu Jingchen took the white porridge beside him and drank two mouthfuls casually. The warm porridge went into his stomach and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Even the headaches have lessened a bit.
After drinking half a bowl, he put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and couldn't help but recall what Su An had just said in his mind.
He seemed to really... underestimate his assistant.
Her figure and temperament are indeed somewhat similar to An An.
But sometimes, people feel that there seems to be no trace of An An in her.
For example, just now.
He could never imagine that An An, who was so gentle and graceful, could have a capable side like Xia Xiaomo.
An An...
Gu Jingchen sighed deeply in his heart.
No matter who she is, anyway... he must first find a way to find out as soon as possible whether she has that tattoo on her body before he can make a decision!
But... what should I do...
Gu Jingchen was at a loss for a moment. Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the office door again.
"Come in."
He responded solemnly.
I thought it was Su An again, but this time it was Tang Ze who pushed the door open.
He seemed to be in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room, he quickly stood in front of Gu Jingchen's desk and said in a hurried tone, "Mr. Gu, the Lu family also wants to get involved in our cooperation with Cheng's..."
Gu Jingchen's train of thought was interrupted, and his brows were furrowed tightly in an instant.
"Lu family? Lu Ziying?"
