Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Do you really have an ulterior motive for me?
The following morning, Lin Gantang felt motion beside her, and as Wen Yanqing got up, she too opened her eyes.
She was still a bit drowsy, lying in bed without moving.
She watched Wen Yanqing sit up, put on his shoes, and slowly rise, reaching out to feel for the furniture around him to discern his direction.
It was too late when they returned the night before, and Lin Gantang’s luggage was not yet unpacked. She casually placed her suitcase down, and on seeing Wen Yanqing walk straight into it, neither gently nor forcefully, her sleepiness dissipated, and her brows knitted together once again.
Before, he had known to avoid even the Sweet Wine at his feet, so why hadn’t he managed to dodge the much larger suitcase in front of him?
Lin Gantang sat up from the bed, watching him touch the wall and follow it into the bathroom.
Lin Gantang quietly followed.
She wanted to see clearly, but then she heard Wen Yanqing ahead of her, laughing and calling out to her, “Tangtang, why are you sneaking up behind me? Trying to scare me?”
Lin Gantang hesitated for a moment, “How did you know I was following you?” “A person as big as you, of course, I saw you,” Wen Yanqing chuckled.
He could see? Was she thinking too much? Doubtful, Lin Gantang moved forward to squeeze toothpaste onto both of their toothbrushes.
Wen Yanqing took the toothbrush she handed him and, listening to the faint jingle of the bells on her ankle, he lowered his gaze to brush his teeth.
Lin Gantang held her suspicions firmly, observing Wen Yanqing from time to time, attempting to find answers.
However, after freshening up, Wen Yanqing lay back down and said he hadn’t gotten enough sleep the night before and wanted to doze off a little longer, asking Yi Qian to come wake him up later.
“Do you want breakfast?” Lin Gantang asked.
“I’d like a sandwich. Tangtang, could you ask the chef to make one for me?”
Lin Gantang agreed and turned to go downstairs, after which Wen Yanqing dialed Yi Qian’s number.
“When are you coming over?”
Yi Qian on the other end was momentarily baffled, “There are no urgent contracts or proposals requiring your approval today, so why don’t you rest up.”
“No, I say there is, so you come over.”
“?” Yi Qian wondered.
“!” Yi Qian realized. Truly befitting of a CEO, he was always focused on the corporation’s interests, dedicated to its development, disregarding even his own recovery. Such work enthusiasm was beyond the reach of us mere mortals.
What can a worker do but respect and head over to work.
Yi Qian packed his work materials and took his notebook, arriving at the Wen family home just like any other day.
However, today Yi Qian felt that the future madam seemed a bit off, always looking at him.
Looking at him inquisitively, thoughtfully, shifting her gaze away only to return it back.
He felt slightly panicked.
Finally, having endured until work was done and ready to go back and poke fun at the comfortable, seated young workers in the office, just as he stepped out of the main house, he was caught by Lin Gantang who had been waiting there, and she dragged him behind the building.
Yi Qian’s heart exploded with nerves. So, after watching me for so long, she really did have another agenda?!
“I have something to say to you,” Lin Gantang began.
With seriousness, Yi Qian said, “I don’t agree.”
He would never betray his boss’s trust.
Lin Gantang:”?” What don’t you agree to?
She asked, “Where did you and Yanqing go yesterday?”
Yi Qian felt relieved, just this question? He was scared to death.
He clenched the answer for yesterday, “We were at the company.”
“And then where did you go?”
“Nowhere else, after meeting the client I drove the CEO home.”
Lin Gantang frowned, “Then, when did you run into Gu Zhichuan?”
Yi Qian stumbled, thinking, Did the CEO say anything else? Why didn’t he align our stories? This is hard for me.
“Just… on the way back?” Yi Qian ventured, noticing that Lin Gantang’s expression was unchanged, he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he hadn’t messed up.
So it was really because of running into Gu Zhichuan that he was in a bad mood? Lin Gantang believed most of it..
