Chapter 11 Sang Ya's Secret Love Affair

In the bookstore cafe, Sang Ya did not go to find a man, but opened a private room.

After a while, the man opened the door and came in. He leaned over and hugged Sang Ya: "Ya Ya, I miss you."

"Did you miss me?"

Sang Ya didn't hug him back, nor did she resist. She said angrily, "I don't miss you."

"Are you angry?" The man whispered in her ear, coaxing her in a good-tempered manner: "It will be over soon. When I get this project, I will immediately tell Master Sang about our relationship, okay?"

"Yaya, I want to give you a better life. My position in the Gu family is very awkward. This project is very important to me. Only then do I have the qualifications and confidence to ask your grandfather to marry you."

"I will come to your house in person to apologize. Please give me some time, okay?"

Sang Ya stared at his gentle and handsome face. He was very good at coaxing people, and every word he said touched her heart. She took the initiative to hold the man's hand, clasping their fingers tightly.

"Gu Yeliang, I don't want to be a time management master anymore. These days, I've been busy with one schedule after another. I'm busy with my graduation performance. Not only does grandpa ask me to intern at the company, but he also asks me to visit the Xie family every week. Even going out to date you has to be secretive, and I have to lie to grandpa and everyone else..."

Sang Ya felt a little aggrieved: "I am the eldest daughter of the Sang family. Is it shameful to have a relationship with me?"

She liked Gu Yeliang very much and wanted to cancel the contract with Xie Zhiyu, but Gu Yeliang stopped her. He was the illegitimate son of the head of the Gu family and was in an awkward situation at home. Sang Ya's grandfather would not agree to their relationship.

Gu Yeliang listened carefully, held Sang Ya's hand tightly, and said with a distressed look on his face: "Of course not, being able to fall in love with Ya Ya is my blessing and my extravagant hope."

"I'm sorry, Yaya, I have wronged you."

"If I had a background like Xie Zhiyu..." His eyes dimmed: "I am marrying above my station, I shouldn't have provoked you..."

"You are so kind, I don't want you to suffer with me in the Gu family." Gu Yeliang held Sang Ya in his arms: "I promise that we will make this project public after we complete it, okay?"

Sang Ya felt a little sour in her heart, smelling the faint scent of the other party's perfume: "Okay, I will convince Grandpa to cancel the engagement."

"Silly girl, I should bear this responsibility." Gu Yeliang kissed her forehead gently, cherishing her very much: "Thank you for believing in me, Yaya."

Sang Ya took the initiative to ask: "Aye, are you sure?"

She has recently been interning at a company. The business of the Sang family's company rarely overlaps with that of the Gu family. This time, Gu Yeliang's biggest competitor is the Xie family's company.

Sang Ya believes in her boyfriend's ability, but it is said that Xie Zhiyu is in charge of this project of the Xie family.

Although she was afraid of her fiancé, she had to admit that he was an excellent heir to a wealthy family. He was rational and calm, decisive in decision-making, and ruthless... He was perfect like a robot.

Does Gu Yeliang have a chance of winning if he fights him?

Gu Yeliang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he showed a bitter smile: "I will try my best."

"Yaya, trust me."

Gu Yeliang did not ask for help. Sang Ya became anxious when she heard what he said: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Although her family is not as powerful as the Xie family, it is not bad either: "I will ask my second uncle for help."

"Or you can cooperate with Brother Zhiyu." Sang Ya wanted to confess a long time ago.

Gu Yeliang looked at her and shook his head gently: "The Xie family will not share the profits, and there is no reason to transfer the profits to the Gu family."

"You have to be careful of your second uncle." He tried to remind her, but Sang Ya was too well protected and had a kind of almost naive stupidity.

"Are you worried that Second Uncle will object if he knows about our relationship?" Sang Ya patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my Second Uncle treats me very well and will satisfy any request I make."

Gu Yeliang's words of advice were stuck on his lips: "Your second uncle is busy with another project recently and is very busy. Please don't disturb him."

"I will find a way to deal with this matter."

Sang Ya felt a little regretful as soon as she said that, but fortunately Gu Yeliang didn't take it seriously.

"What can you do?" Sang Ya blurted out, "We can't keep having a secret relationship forever, right?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but your opponent is Xie Zhiyu, Brother Xie..."

"My grandfather has already discussed the engagement banquet with the Xie family. Maybe we'll get married when I graduate tomorrow." Sang Ya was terrified at the thought of spending her life with Xie Zhiyu, a life where she could see the end at a glance.

Gu Yeliang thought for a moment and said tentatively: "If I can get Xie Zhiyu's bidding proposal, I..."

He changed the subject: "No, this is too risky."

Sang Ya thought carefully and hesitated for a few seconds: "I can get the project book."

But...is this really a good idea?

Gu Yeliang rejected it immediately: "No, I can't let you take risks, and you are an engaged couple. Xie Zhiyu is so outstanding, and you are already wronged enough to be with me. How can I let you be condemned because of me..."

"It won't work this time. I'll think of other ways. At worst, I'll just give in to Gu Yi."

Gu Yeliang's words made Sang Ya determined. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will get the proposal. Don't give in to Gu Yi. Who knows how he will torture you."

"Brother Zhiyu has a lot of resources, and losing this project won't be a big deal for him..." Sang Ya successfully convinced herself: "But this project is very important to us, I will make up for it."

Gu Yeliang was silent for a moment and sighed: "Ya Ya, thank you. I swear to be good to you all my life."

Sang Ya was suffering from the reproach of her conscience, but she felt a little better after hearing what Gu Yeliang said: "Well, I did it for our future."

"For our future." Gu Yeliang's eyes were deep, like a pool of water with no bottom to be seen.

Xie's house.

While checking the chapters that were opened, Shen Baili communicated with the system: "Where did you learn this word from?"

“Your system is quite up-to-date.”

The system said happily: "I have been learning about the culture and language of this world recently. The heroine herself said she was a master of time management~"

The system complained: "She manages her time very poorly. People around her are cleaning up her mess..."

Shen Baili glanced at the content of the chapter and agreed with the system's complaints.

For example, Sang Ya was preparing for the graduation performance rehearsal, and asked everyone to adapt to her schedule, and then she let everyone go in order to date the male lead Gu Yeliang...

For example, during her internship at the company, Sang Ya was happy to go to work and slack off every day, chatting with colleagues about company gossip from time to time, and she didn't even notice that she was marginalized by her second uncle...

Is this some kind of negative time management? Making a mess of everything?

Shen Baili finished reading the new chapters, which described how Sang Ya and Gu Yeliang met and fell in love.

Gu Yeliang was not welcomed in school because of his status as an illegitimate child, and was bullied by his half-brother Gu Yi. He was bullied and made Sang Ya feel distressed. She would help him treat his wounds. During that dark period on campus, Sang Ya was the only one who looked him in the eye.

After they got to know each other, Sang Ya often confided her troubles to him, such as her grandfather's dominance and the child marriage that she resisted.

As they got to know each other better, they fell in love. Sang Ya proposed to cancel the engagement, but was stopped by Gu Yeliang. They then continued to be secretly in love for several years. During this period, Sang Ya proposed to make their relationship public many times, but was rejected by Gu Yeliang on the grounds that the timing was not right.

This relationship ushered in a turning point. After graduation, Gu Yeliang joined a technology branch of Gu's company. With his excellent ability and outstanding background, he was appointed as the executive president of the company.

Under tremendous pressure, he snatched a big project from the Xie Group. The project was a great success, and the company gained market share, laying a solid foundation for future development.

Gu Yeliang benefited even more. He silenced the shareholders who questioned him, and gained the recognition of the head of the Gu Group, who allocated him more resources, allowing him to gain more power in the subsequent battle of heirs.

The key to his winning the project lies in the bidding documents he got from Xie Zhiyu's fiancée.

After reading it, Shen Baili was speechless: "..."

Are the hero and heroine of this book so low? They resort to devious means when they can't win in a direct fight?

And the heroine, a rich lady, why would she fall in love with a selfish and scheming illegitimate child? What is so good about her?

Do you want him to steal your business? Do you want him to be cunning? Do you want him to covet your shares?

Shen Baili continued to flip through the pages. These chapters described Gu Yeliang's "highlight" moments. Sang Ya called to ask when the engagement would be cancelled, and then Gu Yeliang told her to leave the matter to him without worry.

Shen Baili always felt that things were not that simple, and carefully obtained information from the chapters.

The heroine is a naive person, but the hero is not that simple, otherwise he wouldn't let a few words make the heroine willingly break the law and steal business secrets?

And is it really just a coincidence that the heroine encounters Gu Yeliang, who is being bullied?

When Sang Ya returned home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

She walked into the living room and saw her grandfather sitting on the sofa. She immediately smiled brightly: "Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Grandpa Sang usually goes to bed at nine o'clock in the evening, but he was still in the living room at this hour, obviously waiting for Sang Ya.

Grandpa Sang patted his granddaughter's head and said sternly, "I asked you to go on a date with Zhiyu, what did you do?"
