Chapter 48: Give You a Chance to Ask Bold Questions

In the courtyard, the alarm bell rang.

Jian Yao, lying on the bed, didn't even open her eyes. She reached out a hand from the bed and turned off the alarm clock.

The sleeves of the men's pajamas she was wearing slipped down when she raised her hand, revealing a section of her white arm, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

If she were at home, she would definitely stay in bed for a while.

But she was at Gu Zhiyan's house, and it would be rude to get up too late.

Jian Yao opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling to wake himself up, then took out his cell phone and opened WeChat.

This is a habit she developed after starting to work at Lu's.

In the sales department, the worst mistake you can make is missing out on news from your partners.

Jian Yao glanced up and down, but there was no news from the partners, and the messages in the blocked sales department group were flashing very quickly.

Jian Yao clicked on it out of curiosity.

Group message 99+

"I just went out to get some water, and heard from the next door department that Sister Jian Yao, the daughter of the Jian family, was forced out of the Lu family by a country girl named Liu Yiyi. She's so stupid. I'm so angry!"

"Don't pay attention to those idiots with incorrect values. They are just jealous that our department used to eat meat with Sister Jian Yao. They don't even think about the fact that if it weren't for the project brought back by Sister Jian Yao, they wouldn't even be able to drink soup. They are ungrateful."

"I feel upset whenever I mention this. Without Sister Jian Yao to back me up, I don't feel safe at all. Why didn't Liu Yiyi leave?"

"The front desk lady said that Mr. Lu came to the company today wearing a fever-reducing patch. I don't know if it was because of Miss Jian Yao... I hope Mr. Lu and Miss Jian Yao can end their cold war soon."

"I don't know whether I should say this or not... Did you guys watch the live broadcast of the game? I thought the voice of the mysterious wife who was watching last night sounded like Sister Jian Yao..."

"Tsk, impossible."

"Others may not know, but don't those in our sales department know how much Sister Jian likes Mr. Lu?"

Below, it's all impossible.

Although she had just left Lu's, when Jian Yao looked at the company group again, she felt out of place.

Especially when I saw them talking about themselves and Lu Chengze, I felt ashamed that their dark history was being brought up.

Jian Yao's inner thoughts: Have you forgotten that I am also in the group? Hey!

Jian Yao, who was still a little sleepy, got up quickly, quietly left the group, and went to wash up.

As for whether Lu Chengze went to work while sick, she had long forgotten about it.

In the bathroom, Jian Yao stood in front of the mirror, brushing her teeth while quickly opening her phone to log in to Weibo.

The Weibo post [Childhood photo of Gu Shao and Mingzhu was exposed, and the whole network is supporting their couple] immediately caught her attention.

The action of brushing teeth froze for a moment, I clicked on the Weibo post, quickly scanned it, and put down the phone.

Pearl.

She had heard of it.

The daughter of Ming’s Pharmaceuticals.

I heard that he is both talented and educated, with outstanding character and appearance, and his family background is similar to that of the Gu family.

After spitting out the foam and rinsing her mouth, Jian Yao looked at her face reflected in the mirror and pulled out a face towel.

When it comes to being a good match, Mingzhu is indeed a perfect candidate.

She exhaled lightly to dispel the unknown depression in her heart, took out the clothes she washed last night from the dryer and put them on.

Having slept late last night, she thought she had woken up early enough and planned to come over early to prepare breakfast as a reward for Gu Zhiyan's hospitality.

Unexpectedly, others were already busy in the kitchen.

The man was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a pair of strong arms.

She was wearing a black apron with thin straps tied slightly at the back of her waist, outlining her perfectly shaped waist.

The last time Jian Yao saw such perfect body proportions was in a comic.

As if he heard the footsteps, the man who was concentrating on frying eggs turned around and reminded softly, "Breakfast will be ready soon, wait at the dining table first."

Jian Yao kept walking, "Let me help you get ready."

She felt really embarrassed to let Gu Zhiyan be busy in the kitchen alone.

Just then the toaster dinged.

Gu Zhiyan took the fried eggs out of the pot and said, "Then please help put the toast on the plate."

After a while, all the prepared breakfasts were served.

Gu Zhiyan took off his apron, put it away, and sat down at the dining table.

"Your skills are limited, so don't give up."

Jian Yao chuckled, "How could that be? I'm just a little surprised that you got up so early."

Gu Zhiyan picked up a piece of toast with a fork, spread butter on it and put it on Jian Yao's plate, saying nonchalantly, "I'm used to getting up early, taste it."

Jian Yao cooperated and took a bite of the toast. The taste of fat mixed with the aroma of wheat burst into her mouth. "It's delicious."

Gu Zhiyan's eyes fell on her face, and seeing that she really liked it, he applied his own piece, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "If you like it, eat more."

Several messages popped up on the phone next to her. Seeing Gu Zhiyan pick up the phone and look through it, Jian Yao looked away to avoid him.

During the meal, Jian Yao wanted to ask Gu Zhiyan several times why he didn't look for Mingzhu when he wanted to arrange a marriage.

Every time when I was about to open my mouth, I swallowed it back silently.

The first effort is powerful, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted.

Finally, Jian Yao decided to keep quiet.

She didn't know in what capacity she should ask Gu Zhiyan.

No matter how you organize the language, coupled with that trending search, it sounds like a question.

Moreover, this is Gu Zhiyan’s private matter.

That's so rude.

Gu Zhiyan was sitting opposite her and could see every little move she made clearly.

I saw her muster up her courage several times, and angrily bite the food with her cheeks puffed up several times, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

He coughed lightly, took a sip of the milk, and said with a doting smile, "I'll give you a chance to ask bold questions. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."

Jian Yao paused while chewing and looked at Gu Zhiyan with wide eyes.

She had been very careful not to show any abnormality.

Does this person have the ability to read minds?

Gu Zhiyan did not explain, but just gently reminded, "I'll give you three minutes. If you don't ask questions, it will be considered as your automatic waiver of your rights."

When he said this, he deliberately prolonged the ending tone a little, making it low and magnetic, like a depraved male vixen, extremely sexy.

Jian Yao swallowed the food in her mouth and tried to choose her words, "You and Mingzhu grew up together. When you needed someone to pretend to get married, why didn't you find Mingzhu?"

Although she was the one who got drunk and stopped Gu Zhiyan first, he had every reason to refuse.

She had no choice, but Gu Zhiyan had many choices and she was not the only one.

Looking back now, what happened that night still seems like a dream.

He also easily signed a prenuptial agreement that was of no benefit to him.

Isn't he afraid that she is a scheming woman who is approaching him for money?

Gu Zhiyan pondered for a moment and replied seriously, "Mingzhu and I are not familiar with each other. We were just kindergarten classmates. As for why I chose you..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jian Yao. His eyes, which were always cold and clear, were filled with an indissoluble mist. "If I say that what happened that night was not an accident, would you believe me?"
