Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them acting like idiots.
Are these two here to work? Or are they just here to be funny?
During the lunch break, Mr. Chen walked out of the office with a gloomy expression, clearly not going to eat.
Yin Fei and his companion went to the cafeteria laughing and joking, acting as if they were completely carefree.
Qian Wenqing walked over to Xu Xiangyang and said, "Brother Xu, these two are finished, aren't they?"
Isn't that all?
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "What's the point of staying after the New Year? Let's go get some food first."
He put on his coat, and then walked towards the cafeteria with Qian Wenqing.
"Comrade Xu Xiangyang." At that moment, someone called out from the doorway.
Xu Xiangyang turned around and saw that the person who called him was a young man in his twenties, whom he did not recognize.
"May I ask who you are?" He looked the man up and down; his clothes and appearance were quite nice, suggesting he came from a well-off family.
"Hello, my name is Gu Chaoyun." He smiled and nodded, and said politely, "I am Gu Panyun's brother."
Xu Xiangyang understood, but why did he want to see him? Although puzzled, he still politely replied, "Comrade Gu, hello."
"Could we speak in private?" Gu Chaoyun looked at Qian Wenqing, feeling that this was not the place to talk.
Xu Xiangyang became even more curious; what did this person want from him?
"Go eat first," he said to Qian Wenqing as he turned to her.
Qian Wenqing wasn't worried about Xu Xiangyang getting into trouble, since there weren't many people who could beat Xu Xiangyang anyway.
"Okay, Brother Xu, I'll go first." He turned and left.
After everyone left, Xu Xiangyang looked at Gu Chaoyun and said, "Comrade Gu, please say what you have to say. I still need to go eat."
He wouldn't bother with strangers, but out of respect for Gu Panyun, he had to give her face.
Gu Chaoyun smiled and said, "My sister has always been well protected since she was a child. Our family is well-off, so no one dares to bully her."
This seemingly random conversation made Xu Xiangyang frown. What was going on? Was she here to tell him about Gu Panyun's life and deeds?
Gu Chaoyun continued, "She hasn't graduated from university yet and is working to gain experience. Nobody knows about her family situation. Let me put it this way, the two of you are not suitable. We don't object to a normal working relationship, but please don't cross that line."
After speaking, he calmly looked at Xu Xiangyang, waiting for his reply.
Xu Xiangyang was completely bewildered. What the heck?
He blinked, and seeing that Gu Chaoyun's expression didn't seem like a joke, he said, "Comrade Gu, have you misunderstood something? I don't know your family's circumstances, nor do I understand what you mean. Gu Panyun and I are indeed just colleagues. What do you mean by going beyond that?"
He and Gu Panyun didn't seem to have any contact. They only met once during the Chinese New Year after he returned from his business trip, but it seemed to be a meeting for the purpose of expressing gratitude.
Why does it seem like Gu Chaoyun's situation is like they're dating and their parents are against it?
Seeing his expression, Gu Chaoyun realized he didn't seem to have any particular thoughts, so she said, "Then you're overthinking it. I hope that when Panyun comes to see you in the future, you can keep a certain distance from her."
So you were worried about your sister dating?
Although Xu Xiangyang disdained his suspicions, he didn't say much, because he hadn't had that thought in the first place.
"Don't worry, Comrade Gu. I have no interest in your sister, let alone any intention of dating her."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chaoyun smiled. Regardless of whether Xu Xiangyang had this idea or not, he had to say it.
"Alright." He nodded, then turned and left.
Watching Gu Chaoyun leave, Xu Xiangyang stood there without moving. He wondered if this person had gone a bit too far.
Even if he's dating Gu Panyun, does he have to come out and sabotage things after only a few days?
He shook his head, not understanding what was going on.
After eating at the cafeteria, he and Qian Wenqing walked back together, and coincidentally, Gu Panyun ran into them.
"Comrade Xu! Have you eaten?" Gu Panyun asked as she saw him coming from the canteen.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Okay, Comrade Gu, go eat. We'll head back now."
Since his family has come looking for him, it's best to keep your distance.
Although he didn't care about anything, the two were still different men and women. He might not have thought much of it himself, but in this day and age, it's hard to think of things in a positive light.
Gu Panyun felt a little disappointed as he left.
On their journey back from Shanghai, the two traveled together. While they couldn't be described as inseparable, they helped each other.
No, it should be that she unilaterally accepted the help.
Xu Xiangyang always took good care of her, from meals to sleep, always considering her feelings.
Gu Panyun pursed her lips, wondering if she had been too enthusiastic. But all she had done was greet her.
"Comrade Gu, what's wrong?" asked the short-haired young woman beside him.
The two of them came to eat together, and they noticed she was just staring blankly without leaving.
Gu Panyun shook her head. "Wang Ru, go eat. I have no appetite."
She was in a bad mood and didn't care whether she ate or not; she figured she might as well not eat at all.
Wang Ru immediately noticed something was wrong and asked, "Comrade Gu, do you like that Xu Xiangyang from earlier?"
It's no wonder she asked that question. The two of them often see each other, and after Gu Panyun returned from her business trip last time, she often mentioned Xu Xiangyang.
She suddenly fell ill in Shanghai, and I told her how I took care of her along the way.
Moreover, Gu Panyun often chuckled to herself and mentioned this person from time to time, which is why she thought that way.
Gu Panyun's face immediately turned red. Her fair complexion was noticeably flushed.
"I... what nonsense are you talking about!" She stamped her feet anxiously, glaring shyly at Wang Ru.
Wang Ru looked at her speechlessly. How could she talk nonsense? Look at her reaction, she practically had the name of the person she liked written all over her face.
"Gu Panyun, we've been together for so long, how could I possibly tell anyone?" She sighed helplessly and said, "But I must warn you, that Comrade Xu doesn't seem to have any feelings for you. Don't get too involved."
She had clearly seen Xu Xiangyang's attitude just now; it wasn't that he was deliberately avoiding her or showing any annoyance.
That nonchalant attitude doesn't indicate liking or having feelings for someone.
Gu Panyun's face turned pale, as if she had never thought about or noticed Xu Xiangyang's attitude towards her.
She bit her lip and didn't speak, but the unease in her eyes was immediately apparent.
Wang Ru suddenly realized she had been too direct and immediately said, "You see, I'm right. Comrade Xu definitely doesn't know what you're thinking. If he did, seeing how beautiful and outstanding you are, he would definitely like you."
It's all my fault for being too direct; the child definitely won't accept it.
