After Wan Ge hung up the phone, Gu Yan returned to the conference room. He said, "Continue," but he was already lost in thought and wasn't listening at all.
The vice president silently watched Gu Yan, clearly noticing that the other was lost in thought. His rosy lips tightened, and his once gentle smile was gone.
Although the employees didn't know exactly what had happened, they sensed that the president was in a bad mood. Gu Yan, who was usually gentle and smiling, was now acting strangely, making them feel uneasy.
After the meeting ended, everyone felt a sense of relief. Could this be considered the most agonizing meeting in history? Even when the company suffered losses, the president had never looked like this, although he was still the vice president back then.
…
After leaving the conference room, the vice president walked beside him: "Ayan? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the subsidiary?"
Today was his first meeting since returning from the subsidiary, but he didn't mention any problems with the subsidiary.
"Uncle Li, it's nothing, it's just a personal matter. Don't worry."
"Alright, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know." I never expected Gu Yan to be troubled by personal matters; it seems it's probably something to do with his love life.
He had returned from Q City a few days ago, but he didn't come to work and left most of the work to me, presumably because of relationship issues.
…
Gu Yan had already left the company before it was time to leave work.
Unable to go outside, Wan Ge went to the rooftop to get some fresh air. Looking at the blooming roses, she gently touched one with her fingertip. The delicate petals scattered at her touch.
"Wange, what are you doing!" Gu Yan saw Wange outside the railing and rushed over to hug her.
Looking at the tense man in front of her, Wan Ge asked in confusion, "I didn't do anything, I was just enjoying the breeze."
She just felt that the view from where she sat by the railing was the best, so she went outside.
Wan Ge smiled faintly: "You didn't think I was going to jump, did you?"
Does he think he's going to run away? And if he's going to run, why is he going to run away from here?
"I..." Gu Yan lowered his head gently, his warm voice whispering in her ear, "I don't want you to be here either, I want you to be free, but I want to protect you even more."
Yes… he just wanted to protect Wan Ge, to protect his beloved, to keep her in his warmest fortress, so that no one could hurt her, get close to her, or take her away. No one could take his Wan Ge away.
"I know." That was Wan Ge's first thought. At this moment, she certainly didn't believe that Gu Yan wanted to put her under house arrest.
After all, Wan Ge didn't think Gu Yan would be like that. In her mind, since he split into two people, it was very likely that his original dark side had gone to Shan Liang.
He may have his own dark side, but given Shan Liang's yandere nature, Gu Yan probably doesn't have many dark sides.
Just like Shan Liang has a bright side, but you don't feel much of it.
At this moment, Wan Ge still didn't realize that something was wrong, and still thought that Gu Yan just wanted to protect her.
In fact, Wan Ge had experienced this before, spending her days by his side without going anywhere. She had had this experience too many times, but she didn't know that Gu Yan would do the same.
