☆, Chengcheng is here
Although Gu Qingqing was arrogant and domineering, she was somewhat afraid of Gu Dahai, after all, he wasn't her biological son. Since Gu Dahai personally ordered her to stay, she naturally didn't dare to disobey and angrily went back to her room to change her clothes.
Although Gu Li won a small round, she felt no joy at all. There was really nothing to be happy about. She and Gu Qingqing had formed a grudge, and she would never have a good time if she encountered this unruly young lady again.
Oh well, I'll just avoid her from now on.
While Chu Yaofeng and Gu Dahai were chatting, she turned and walked towards the front door. She wasn't trying to sneak away; she just wanted to get some fresh air.
There was a tremor outside, and the air was exceptionally fresh. She looked up at the starry sky, a place she used to love standing on the balcony watching the stars. She glanced at her old room, which was pitch black. She guessed it had probably been turned into a storage room.
“A beautiful fairy once lived there.” A deep and gentle male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Mr. Gu." Gu Li turned around and looked at Gu Ziqian who was coming towards him. He smiled slightly, took the glass of red wine that Gu Ziqian offered, and said casually, "Really? So where did Fairy go after that?"
Gu Ziqian gave a wry smile, gazed into the distance, pointed to the brightest star, and said, "Where is she?"
Gu Li looked up, his eyes shining as brightly as the star he was pointing to.
“I miss her so much, and I feel so guilty towards her. Every year on the anniversary of her death, I don’t have the courage to go and pay my respects. She certainly wouldn’t want to see me.” Gu Ziqian’s low voice was filled with unconcealed sorrow and self-reproach.
"No, she won't," Gu Li quickly retorted. "You have your own difficulties, she will definitely understand you."
Gu Ziqian was astonished, looking at her with disbelief. "How did you know?"
Oh no, I forgot my place when I got excited.
"Of course I was just guessing," Gu Li said with a laugh. "Mr. Gu, you're such a good person, how could you possibly do something to hurt your family?"
Gu Ziqian's gaze deepened as he looked at her, and he stopped talking.
Gu Li felt uncomfortable under his gaze. His eyes were gentle yet contained a hint of affection. Over the years, she had seen countless suitors, so she could easily understand the message Gu Ziqian was conveying through his eyes.
It might not be love yet, but I have a good impression of her.
Gu Li lowered her eyes and pretended to take a sip of wine, actually trying to avoid his burning gaze and calm herself down before speaking again, "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I really want to work at your company, but my friend submitted his resume to LB without my knowledge. I'm so sorry."
"It's alright," Gu Ziqian said generously. "LB's CEO Chu is quite good. You can learn a lot from him too."
"You really don't blame me?" I'm so touched. My older brother is so good. He's so magnanimous, unlike Chu Yaofeng, who's so petty and narrow-minded.
Uh... why did I think of him? And comparing him to my older brother? The two of them are completely incomparable. My older brother is so much better than him.
Seeing her wrinkle her nose, Gu Ziqian chuckled, "You and President Chu have known each other for a long time?"
"No, there was a misunderstanding before. I don't know him at all. He only came here today because he used his position as my boss to exploit me. I'm not his woman. He's just saying that to get revenge on me. Please don't believe him." Gu Li tried her best to clarify.
Gu Ziqian believed her, and he even suspected that Chu Yaofeng's purpose in framing Gu Li was to hurt him.
"I believe you." Seeing how nervous she was, her brows furrowed, "I was planning to invite you to be my date today, but when I called Chengcheng and he said you were out, I picked him up. Did you see him?"
"You brought him here?" Gu Li was shocked. Oh no, it would be troublesome if Chengcheng and Chu Yaofeng ran into each other.
