She stole a glance at Gu Yuan's profile; he was cold and serious, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Bai Xin deliberately changed the subject and asked, "President Gu, when did you plan to come back?"
Gu Yuan glanced at her, seemingly thinking the question was a bit unreasonable, and finally chose to avoid the topic, putting the suitcase back in its original place.
When he came out, he said to Bai Xin, "Are you all packed? If you are, let's go."
"Isn't it evening? It's still early." Bai Xin blinked at him.
"Are you going to meet someone important like this, all disheveled and unkempt?" he couldn't resist sarcastically remarking.
Bai Xin swallowed hard and shut her mouth, feeling embarrassed.
Not long after, Gu Yuan took Bai Xin out. As soon as they were outside, he said, "Go get your hair done and buy a few outfits while you're at it. I'll come pick you up later."
After saying that, Gu Yuan wanted to walk forward, but Bai Xin immediately stepped forward and took his arm, saying, "I want to go with you."
Gu Yuan shook off her hand, seemed about to say something, but then looked ahead and finally said indifferently, "Whatever."
Bai Xin felt a little disappointed, but she quickly forced a smile and followed Gu Yuan forward.
She had always wanted to have some fun with Gu Yuan, and she had come to New York hoping to walk around the streets with him. Now, her wish had come true.
Gu Yuanxian went to a men's specialty store, and the salesperson kept recommending clothes to him.
Bai Xin thought all the clothes in this place were beautiful, so she randomly picked one out and held it up to Gu Yuan.
"This one looks good, why don't you try it on?"
She was so pleased with the dress that she didn't notice Gu Yuan's cold gaze sweeping over her.
"This is it. Wrap it up," he said casually.
Bai Xin stared at him blankly, never expecting that he would listen to his opinion.
She asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu, why did you choose this one?"
Gu Yuan coldly paid the bill, ignoring her.
Actually, it doesn't matter which one I buy, as long as I can dress formally. I only chose the one Bai Xin mentioned because it's convenient; I was too lazy to let him go through countless choices and get overwhelmed.
Then Gu Yuan accompanied Bai Xin to get her hair done and bought her an outfit. The afternoon passed by like this, and he remained expressionless, but the person he was thinking about was not the one in front of him.
Evening soon arrived, and Gu Yuan drove to the pre-arranged location.
The restaurant was booked on one of New York's busiest streets, but when Gu Yuan arrived, it was empty.
He slowly walked in and sat down. The crystal chandelier shining above them made them feel lazy and gave them an urge to sleep.
The partner company arrived shortly after Gu Yuangang sat down.
A tall, obese middle-aged man led the way in, followed by some high-ranking shareholders.
Gu Yuan greeted them one by one. He vaguely remembered that the company's CEO's surname was Liao, so he extended his hand to him and said, "CEO Liao, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The moment their hands clasped together, Gu Yuan's eyes seemed to see right through him.
He raised an eyebrow: "Does President Liao find something wrong with Mingheng? Is he so eager to terminate the contract?"
"It's not necessarily a bad thing. People are realistic. If I find a better company than yours, Mingheng, I'll naturally cooperate with the next one."
After saying that, he gave Gu Yuan a lewd smile, which made Bai Xin shudder.
Gu Yuan seemed not to care about him at all, and even laughed: "What you said makes sense, but our contract states that if we breach the contract before the deadline, we have to pay double the penalty."
