Gu Yan was concerned about the friends around her, so she did not want to tell them about the bad side of her life. At the same time, she knew that in the adult world, everyone had their own difficulties. Her principle had always been that she would not let her own difficulties become others’ problems.

In addition, she did not feel that her current life was messed up. Although there had been some small conflicts between her and Mo Yichen, these things were definitely not what caused their separation. Or rather, even though there were problems between the two of them now, she firmly believed that they could solve these problems together.

Since those problems could be solved, she felt that there was no need to tell them to others and let her friends worry about her.

“Jingcheng, I’m really fine.”

Gu Yan looked at Jiang Jingcheng firmly. She wanted to convey her firm thoughts to him through her eyes. She hoped that he could feel her firmness so that she could hide not only the conversation between Gu Manman and herself but also her life.

Gu Yan would not tell him anything, which was the result that he had expected. However, he could not help but feel somewhat disappointed. Just like how he had tried so hard but had not been able to get what he wanted, he was very familiar with that kind of disappointment.

But this disappointment made him sad and even frustrated every time.

Gu Yan would never tell anyone what was on her mind. However, Mo Yichen was not the kind of person that would listen to her.

Although Jiang Jingcheng was thinking about a lot of things, he also knew that in the end, this was Gu Yan’s own business. Since she was so sure to tell him so firmly that she was fine, she must be actually fine. Jiang Jingcheng didn’t want to ask any more questions. In any case, he was certain that once something happened to her, he would be the kind of person who could stand firmly behind her and support her.

“Don’t get yourself too tired. There’s no hurry when it comes to work.”

Although Jiang Jingcheng knew clearly that Gu Yan had been upset not because of her work, her recent efficiency was so high that it made him feel terrified. This kind of intensity of work was not something a gentle woman like her could bear. Recently, she must have been working overtime day and night.

He was unable to stop her from working like that. However, he was still able to say a few words of concern to her. Regardless of what worries she had, he would at least be able to help take over some of her work, so she did not have to exhaust herself like this. Jiang Jingcheng kept these words to himself and did not say them out loud. However, he was very certain that Gu Yan understood him.

This was a tacit understanding between Gu Yan and Jiang Jingcheng.

“I’m fine. I’ll take a good rest. Don’t worry.”

Although Gu Yan did not say anything about her feelings, Jiang Jingcheng’s concern still warmed her heart. No matter how unhappy she was right now, at least she had a lot of good friends in her life who were firmly supporting her, right?

It made her feel warmth in her heart. Even if it was for her friends and the people she cared about, she would take care of her health. She would never let anything happen to her body to make them worry. Although she was quite weak, she understood her condition very well. She definitely did not have a body that would easily fall ill.

Since he had received a confirmative answer from Gu Yan, Jiang Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had said all that needed to be said and there was no reason for him to stay in her office any longer.

Gu Yan was unwilling to tell him what had happened just now, but he could just ask Gu Manman about it, couldn’t he? After all, he was her superior. If he demanded to be told about it as her superior, shouldn’t she obey him without any reason?

“Make Gu Manman obey me for no reason?”

Just thinking about it made Jiang Jingcheng feel that it was impossible. How could Gu Manman be the kind of person who would obey him unconditionally? As long as she did not ask him, her superior, to obey her, it would be great.

Jiang Jingcheng had worked for a long time, but he had never seen a subordinate like Gu Manman who didn’t obey him. He couldn’t do anything to her. It could even be said that he was now under her complete control. At least at work, he had been completely dominated by her.

He had already told Gu Yan what he wanted to say, so there was no reason for him to stay in her office any longer when both of them still had a heavy workload. When he thought of dealing with their annoying clients, he felt a headache coming on, but he still had to hold it in and do his job.

Jiang Jingcheng liked designing, but he knew that he had to handle the problems that came along one by one. Gu Yan liked designing, and she liked it more than he did. He was very clear about this, so he had to do many things in her stead so that she could focus on what she liked doing.

It was already very difficult for one to maintain their hobbies. There were many things for him to do every day. There were so many of them that he almost forgot what his original dream was.

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Gu Yan before him and saw that she had already started working as though there was no one else around. He could not help but sigh. Indeed, he was not as focused on work as she was. Also, he was very clear that he could not be as devoted as her, whose love for this job had almost made her an addict.

Jiang Jingcheng didn’t say anything more. He just lightened his footsteps and quietly left Gu Yan’s office. She had her own career, and he also had to do his own business well.

After leaving Gu Yan’s office, Gu Manman could not help sighing at the ingenuity of Gu Yan’s creative notebook. It was really a wonderful notebook. Gu Manman did not even know if she could make one as good as Gu Yan’s, but she did not think too much about it. She felt that she had to start immediately because she felt that right now countless ideas had already come to her mind.

As if she had suddenly thought of something, she knew that she had to send a text message to Qi Changfeng. Previously, she had basically never collected any information about Gu Yan for him. Firstly, she did not like Gu Yan. Although she still did not like her very much now, at least she was not prejudiced against her like the way she was before.

Secondly, Gu Manman had not seen Gu Yan many times in her past working days. And every time she saw her, Jiang Jingcheng would be present. Gu Manman hated the feeling of all the focus of him on Gu Yan.

But now, Gu Manman’s opinion of Gu Yan had changed.
