He clearly knows better than anyone else.
However, he is often swayed by "responsibility" and "purpose" and cannot help but get closer to her.
He even suspected that the person who made the traditional Chinese medicine was himself.
The day of the shareholders' meeting.
Gu Lianzhou changed into a cold, hard dark gray suit early in the morning, avoiding Shen Zhiyi, and decided to go to the company first.
But as soon as I reached the entrance, I was stopped by a sweet voice.
"Brother! Wait for me!"
She was wearing a houndstooth tweed suit and came running down the stairs like a rabbit.
She stopped in her tracks beside him, naturally took his arm, and breathed softly.
"Brother, are you going to let me go to the company alone?" She looked up at him, pursed her lips, her tone accusatory, and her eyes glistening with tears.
