Chapter 8 For every inch she strays over the wall, I'll open the courtyard three feet wider.



That day

Ji Cong'an remembers it clearly.

He was carried back by the underlings who were called in at the last minute.

He was able to get out of bed and walk after lying in bed for a whole week.

I was filled with such hatred!

So, he embellished the story and complained about Gu Jueye to his father.

Unexpectedly, his father not only didn't avenge him, but also picked up a stick and beat him up again.

It was only later that he learned that on the night Gu Jueye hit him, he retrieved the surveillance footage from the alley and personally delivered it to his father.

His father said that if he hadn't seen how badly he was injured, he would have wanted to beat him up right then and there!

It's all so heartbreaking to think about!

Later, he provoked Gu Jueye in various ways, but each time he was dealt with horribly by Gu Jueye.

Until one day, he had a fight with his father and ran away from home for three days.

In fact, he hid near the Gu family's house for those three days.

Because he knew his father would send people everywhere to look for him, but his father couldn't reach the Gu family.

Adding to the personal grudge between him and Gu Jueye, even if his father was very smart, he would never have imagined that he would be hiding right under the enemy's nose.

I hid for three days and went hungry for three days.

Until his vision became blurry and he was ready to eat grass.

With a "thud," a bag of food was thrown down in front of him.

Bread, cake, ham, and a steaming roast duck.

His gaze followed the departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

That day, with tears in his eyes and roast duck in his mouth, Ji Cong'an secretly made a vow.

In this lifetime, Ji Cong'an has decided that Gu Jueye is his boss!

...

The large office was unusually quiet, except for the constant sound of typing.

Ji Cong'an has a restless personality and can't stand this kind of atmosphere.

He stared at his phone screen with his almond-shaped eyes, looking bored, and remained silent for a long while.

One hour and nine minutes, counting down the seconds, very good, he has reached his limit of patience.

Lifting her eyelids to look at Gu Jueye sitting in front of the computer, she saw that he was still sitting upright, his slender hands resting on the keyboard, scrolling rapidly.

Yuan Nuo had long since adapted to this rhythm.

After eating instant noodles, I turned on my computer and got busy.

It was already past 2 a.m.

Ji Cong'an stood up decisively and walked quickly to Gu Jueye: "Hey, Jueye, look at the time! You are the future hope of our country. Don't ruin your research before you even finish it."

Gu Jueye stopped typing and glanced at Ji Cong'an with his cool eyes.

Why haven't you left yet?

Ji Cong'an felt a surge of suppressed anger rising to his throat.

Damn it, he really didn't notice I was there?

Being completely ignored is truly utter.

Ji Cong'an rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I rushed to the airport to pick you up today, and my car is still at the traffic police station. How can you let me go? You should at least treat me to a meal."

Gu Jueye's body gradually relaxed, and he leaned back in his chair, raising his hand to rub his sore eyes.

"There are instant noodles."

Ji Cong'an glared at Gu Jueye with displeasure: "You're just feeding me instant noodles?"

It's been two years since we last met, and this guy is really taking their friendship for granted.

Gu Jueye ignored him, stood up, grabbed a bucket of instant noodles, and turned to walk towards the tea room.

A moment later, he carried his instant noodles and, under Ji Cong'an's extremely displeased gaze, walked back to the table, sat down, and began to eat alone.

Gu Jueye doesn't eat slowly, but even when he's eating a bowl of instant noodles, it feels like he's having a French feast.

Ji Cong'an sat down on a chair nearby, crossed his legs, and stared at the man who was focused on eating instant noodles.

"If your female fans saw this, wouldn't they be heartbroken? A dignified lord, actually eating junk food like instant noodles."

Gu Jueye ignored Ji Cong'an; he didn't like to talk while eating.

He has no particular requirements about what he eats, especially this year, as he has spent almost every day in the laboratory and has long been accustomed to this fast-food lifestyle.

At this moment, Yuan You secretly raised his head, glanced at his boss, and then glanced at Ji Cong'an.

The boss was surrounded by reporters at the airport today, but thanks to An Shao's timely help, he was able to leave safely.

I originally thought that An Shao and the boss were childhood friends and that they would have a meal together today. Unexpectedly, the boss went straight to the lab after getting off the plane, and An Shao followed.

"Young Master An, how about I make you a tub of it too?"

Ji Cong'an curled his lip, looking disgusted: "I don't eat this stuff."

Despite saying things that sounded disgusted, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jueye's instant noodle bucket.

Thinking to myself: This junk food tastes really tempting.

Yuan You shut his mouth. Okay, how could someone of An Shao's status possibly eat instant noodles?

Not everyone is as easy to please as the boss.

Seeing that Yuan You didn't intend to persuade him any further, Ji Cong'an suddenly turned his head and glared at Yuan You: "Do you have a spicy flavor?"

“Uh…” Yuan You was taken aback by the question.

Ji Cong'an clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and coughed softly: "Your boss's taste is too bland. Spicy flavor is more suitable for me."

Yuan You then understood and nodded: "Yes, I'll go get it."

Fortunately, he prepared some of each flavor.

Five minutes later

Ji Cong'an sat at Gu Jueye's desk and wolfed down a bucket of instant noodles.

Yuan You thought to himself, "An Shao eats at the same speed as the boss, so why does he manage to tell the difference between a French meal and a buffet?"
