Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Gu Yan’s Tiff
Tang Yuxiu helped her fasten her seatbelt, then looked up at her with a slight smile in his eyes, "You really can’t stand being silent." She usually loves to chatter on, unless she’s really angry, she rarely keeps quiet.
But this time, she’s just being a bit petty, able to hold back from speaking for this long.
Gu Yan, "..." She thought he was going to admit his mistake or something, but as expected, she couldn’t hope for any good words from him!
Gu Yan felt a bit crushed inside, wondering why the tender and considerate scenes of domineering presidents caring for their girlfriends on TV couldn’t happen to her!
"Mind your own business!" She growled at him with a fierce look, turning her head to look out the window, determined not to pay him any attention.
Seeing her like this, Tang Yuxiu couldn’t help but laugh softly.
The low, melodious laughter made Gu Yan involuntarily turn her head back, just in time to see his joyful smile.
The midday sun was so intense, yet at this moment, the man’s smile was shining so brilliantly that it completely outshone the scorching sunlight.
Tang Yuxiu really is inhuman!
Gu Yan was slightly dazed looking at him, Tang Yuxiu leaned closer, gazing at her with a smile for quite some time, and she seemed not to notice.
He reached out and gently flicked her forehead, "Miss Gu, we need to drive to work now. You’re staring at me so intently; are you planning to stay home and do something else?"
Gu Yan came back to her senses, rubbed her forehead, and though it didn’t hurt, it felt a bit tingly.
Hearing Tang Yuxiu’s words, she slowly raised her head and glared at him fiercely, "How can your thoughts be so improper!"
Tang Yuxiu looked innocent, "What’s improper? I think you’re the one with your mind in the gutter. ’Something else’ doesn’t necessarily mean what you’re thinking."
Gu Yan realized that Tang Yuxiu had set a trap for her to fall into.
Clearly, it was his ambiguous words that led her astray!
Damn, she really didn’t want to think that far, she’s the one being tormented!
But Miss Gu, are you sure there were no moments of enjoyment?
That thought was forcefully suppressed by Gu Yan deep in her mind.
Just kidding, she’d never admit to it!
Gu Yan gave Tang Yuxiu a shove, "Hurry up and drive! Such a dawdling man!"
Tang Yuxiu sat up straight, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth curling into a half-smile, with laughter still in his eyes.
"Are you sure I’m dawdling?"
Gu Yan blushed and again didn’t want to talk to him!
Tang Yuxiu is so annoying!
Truly detestable!
She resolutely turned her head to look out the window, swearing she wouldn’t give in and look at him during the drive!
When they reached the company’s underground parking lot, Gu Yan dashed out clutching her bag faster than a rabbit, forgetting to say goodbye to Tang Yuxiu.
Tang Yuxiu watched her retreating figure, shaking his head helplessly, women are really incomprehensible when they’re being petty, if his intelligence wasn’t higher than others, he wouldn’t always understand why she’s sulking.
That’s why, in a relationship, honesty is the most important.
If issues in the heart can be expressed, then they can solve them together; otherwise, misunderstandings will only grow and ferment in the heart, affecting the relationship.
Gu Yan arrived at the office, and her colleagues were somewhat surprised.
Wang Qi came over to greet her, "Weren’t you taking another day off, why are you here now?"
Gu Yan coughed slightly, "There wasn’t much to do this afternoon, so I came to work. It’s not good to keep taking days off."
She hadn’t been working long, and she’d already taken several leaves! This is after all Tang Yuxiu’s company, if it were another company, she’d have been fired long ago.
Gu Yan still felt a bit guilty.
Who knew Wang Qi would wink at her playfully, lean over, and whisper, "Anyway, it’s your man’s turf, coming or not doesn’t matter."
Gu Yan’s face turned pink, and she glared at her, "What are you saying, his is his, what’s it got to do with me, I’m still just a small employee at the Tang Family."
Wang Qi laughed, "It’s commendable that you’ve bagged the boss yet remain so diligent, others would have long quit and focused on sticking to the boss to enjoy life."
"I love the piano, I don’t care who Tang Yuxiu is, I won’t and don’t want to give up the piano because of him or anyone else. I want to play the best pieces." So that she would not appear so dim standing next to Tang Yuxiu, and those who oppose them should also be fewer.
Besides, she wants her abilities to be recognized, especially since it’s the piano she loves.
Wang Qi smiled, "I believe you’ll play the best pieces, Gu Yan, you’re quite capable, just persist, and you’ll definitely make it."
"Thank you." Gu Yan’s eyes gleamed bright and sincere.
Wang Qi still wanted to chat with her, but suddenly noticed a few red marks on Gu Yan’s neck, raised an eyebrow, maintaining her playful expression from before, "I was just wondering why you and the President both took a day off at the same time, looks like my guess was right."
Gu Yan was puzzled, "What did you guess?"
Wang Qi looked meaningfully at the hickey on her neck, "Going out without covering it up, if someone else sees it, they’ll have something to say about you, and if they think a little harder and connect it to you and the President both taking a day off, wouldn’t it be exposed?"
Gu Yan instinctively touched her neck, took out a mirror from the drawer, and saw several conspicuous dark red marks on her neck, her face flushed with embarrassment and speechlessness.
Oh my god! Why was it so obvious!
She was in a hurry to get to work on time at noon, everything was rushed, she didn’t pay attention to this, and this turned out to be the biggest insecurity!
Gu Yan instantly felt like crying but had no tears.
"Is it still possible for me to go change into a high-collared shirt now?" she asked Wang Qi dejectedly.
Wang Qi thought for a moment and said, "It’d be better to just stay as you are. If you suddenly change clothes, others will pay even more attention to you, thinking you have some unspeakable secret. This is fine; if it wasn’t deliberate, who would specifically look at someone else’s neck?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan nodded, "What you say makes some sense."
But she was still afraid of being discovered, so Gu Yan spent the entire afternoon in extreme anxiety.
Whenever anyone got close to her, she instinctively backed away, terrified they might see the marks on her neck.
Anyone who accidentally got close gave her a bewildered glance as they passed by.
Wang Qi silently watched these scenes unfold and shook his head in sigh.
Gu Yan is really just foolish; isn’t she making people more suspicious by being so jumpy!
Wang Qi held his forehead, not wanting to admit he knew her at all.
Things were different at the President’s office compared to the entertainment department.
The secretary and Assistant You clearly felt President Tang was in a much better mood than usual, everything seemed wonderful.
You Shuyang secretly sighed; a man who has tasted the sweetness of love is truly different, so elated and proud!
He, being all alone, couldn’t bear it!
Assistant You began to seriously consider finding a girlfriend.
Gu Yan finally endured until the end of the workday, grabbed her bag, and was the first to rush out of the entertainment department.
Wang Qi was speechless again, calmly and slowly packed his things after work.
Gu Yan went straight downstairs and left the company, then remembered that Tang Yuxiu would be leaving work half an hour later than her.
She originally wanted to call him to say she wouldn’t wait for him, but thinking about the hickeys on her neck that had kept her on edge all afternoon, she dismissed the idea.
So she directly called You Shuyang, asking him to pass the message to Tang Yuxiu that she had left first.
You Shuyang felt a bit puzzled when he received Gu Yan’s call, and after listening to her message, he was even more confused.
He cautiously peeked into the President’s office; the door was closed, and he didn’t know what the person inside was doing, but he was baffled. Could it be that just after being with Miss Gu, the Young Master Tang was already mad at her the next day?
Then why was his mood still so good?
He really couldn’t understand those in love! They are just bullying singles!
You Shuyang knocked and entered Tang Yuxiu’s office, relayed Gu Yan’s message, and observed his expression.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t get upset!
After delivering the message, Tang Yuxiu merely nodded and said, "Hmm, I got it. You can leave for the day."
Oh my God. He had never seen such an agreeable and easygoing Young Master Tang in his life.
Miss Gu really did change him; even his life had improved, reducing the number of times he had to endure Young Master Tang’s cold face.
You Shuyang silently praised Miss Gu in his heart.
Praying that Miss Gu would never separate from Young Master Tang in this lifetime, for the sake of his own pleasant life!
You Shuyang obediently exited, while Young Master Tang lifted his head from the pile of documents, paused, and inexplicably smiled slightly.
Little girl, still acting up.
Young Master Tang smiled helplessly, looked down at the documents again, and let out a gentle sigh. After a day and a half off work, a lot of paperwork had piled up for him to process. He hadn’t stopped all afternoon, and there was still a stack left, but thinking about a certain little girl who was still pouting, he closed the files helplessly.
Forget it, better to find her first, cajole her, and then handle it all at night after returning home.
Young Master Tang carried a bunch of files downstairs and called Gu Yan while sitting in the car.
After Gu Yan left the company and passed her message to You Shuyang, she wandered aimlessly on the streets, still not wanting to go home directly; deep down, she wanted to wait for Tang Yuxiu.
After a while, she noticed a medical advertisement across the street, which reminded her she hadn’t visited Gu’s father at the hospital for some time, so she headed to the nearest bus stop to catch a ride to the hospital.
When Tang Yuxiu’s call came, she instinctively wanted to answer it, but she decided against it, remembering she was throwing a tantrum and shouldn’t be coaxed back so easily.
However, when the call rang for the second time, she still pressed the answer button, but her tone was deliberately indifferent.
"What is it?"
"Where are you?"
"On the bus."
"Get off, I’ll pick you up, and we can head back together."
Undeniably, hearing Tang Yuxiu’s domineering and straightforward words made Gu Yan’s heart flutter, yet she still pretended to be indifferent and said lightly, "No need, I’m not going back."
There was a pause on the other end, his voice cooling a bit, "Where do you want to go?"
Young Master Tang probably thought she got upset and was planning to run away from home.
Gu Yan quickly realized this and explained, "I’m going to the hospital to see my dad."
