President, the deceased lady has three more children

When Feng Jiejie saw the name Lu Mingzhu, her expression changed drastically, and the atmosphere around her seemed to darken.

Gu Yihe's lips curled up for a moment when he saw Feng Jiejie preparing to come over to eat.

He felt that one day he would make Feng Jiejie familiar with his presence and slowly win her heart, whether it was a year, ten years, or a lifetime, he was willing to do so.

Still lost in his pleasant daydreams, he paused when he saw Feng Jiejie's aura turn sour, and asked with concern,

"What? Who sent you the message? What happened?"

Feng Jiejie looked up at him, and the anger and suspicion in her eyes made Gu Yihe's last smile disappear.

"What's wrong? Is it related to me?"

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why Feng Jiejie would look at him like that.

Feng Jiejie gripped her phone tightly, pursed her lips, and then walked over with a calm expression.

"No."

She wasn't sure if Gu Yihe knew about this. If Gu Yihe knew but didn't say anything, he would be protecting Lu Mingzhu, since everyone knew about Lu Mingzhu's relationship with Fu Yunchuan.

She planned to hold back for now and wait for Gu Yihe to leave before making any further moves, and then carefully consider how to deal with Lu Mingzhu.

Lu Mingzhu is truly a persistent ghost.

Previously, both Nanxing and Lu Mingzhu believed that Fu Yunchuan was to blame for everything. However, based on Nanxing's interactions with Lu Mingzhu since returning to China, it's clear that Lu Mingzhu is not innocent at all.

Such a pretentious green tea bitch deserves a disgusting scumbag like Fu Yunchuan.

Gu Yihe knew that Feng Jiejie was definitely hiding something from him. After all, he had clearly seen the change in Feng Jiejie's expression just now, and it was definitely not the expression of someone who was doing nothing wrong.

Especially considering that Feng Jiejie only had that expression after checking her phone, it's unclear who sent her the message.

Nanxing? Or someone from the Yun family? No matter what, he felt it must be related to Nanxing. Only someone connected to Nanxing could elicit such emotions from Feng Jiejie.

However, Feng Jiejie didn't say anything or ask any further, so as not to cause a conflict between the two of them later, or to make Feng Jiejie angry with him unilaterally. He didn't want to waste this hard-won peaceful and warm moment.

He sat down opposite Feng Jiejie and placed a crab roe soup dumpling on her plate.

"This soup dumpling is their signature dish. Just be careful when eating it, as the soup inside is very hot. You need to slowly bite a small hole and drink the soup first."

Feng Jiejie paused for a moment, then silently picked up the bun and tried it as Gu Yihe had suggested.

The taste was indeed delicious; her eyes visibly brightened.

Gu Yihe looked at him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

The meal went fairly well, and Gu Yihe's phone was on silent, so he had no idea that someone had sent him several messages.

After they finished eating, the two cleaned up the table together. Then, Feng Jiejie looked at Gu Yihe seriously and said...

"President Gu, please don't bring me food anymore. I can order whatever I want to eat myself. What you're doing is easy for people to misunderstand and it's not good for your image."

Gu Yihe was wiping his hands with a wet wipe when he suddenly heard Feng Jiejie's words and he was so angry that he laughed.

He thought his plan was slowly succeeding and that Feng Jiejie was gradually lowering her guard against him, but he never expected that Feng Jiejie was still thinking about cutting ties with him.

"What if others misunderstand? I've never been afraid of misunderstandings. Besides, I've never thought there was anything wrong with what I did, and it doesn't affect my image at all. What's wrong with me openly pursuing the person I like?"

He looked directly at Feng Jiejie, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Feng Jiejie's expression froze. Every time Gu Yihe admitted these things, she felt extremely irritated, an inexplicable irritation.

"I……"

"And can you really leave Nanxing with peace of mind?" Gu Yihe interrupted Feng Jiejie as she was about to speak again.

He knew that if Feng Jiejie opened her mouth, what she said would definitely not be what he wanted to hear, so he wouldn't give her the chance to finish her sentence.

Feng Jiejie frowned instantly, looking at him warily and asking, "What do you mean? What else could Nanxing possibly want?"

"Besides, have you forgotten what Nanxing's status is now? Not only can she protect herself, but the Yun family is also backing her up. It's no use threatening me with these things."

Gu Yihe smiled bitterly to himself. Why would he have said that if it weren't useful? Feng Jiejie's concern for Nanxing was truly enviable.

However, he wouldn't voice these emotions, otherwise Feng Jiejie would only think he was crazy, or distance herself from him even more.

"I didn't mean to threaten you. I just wanted to say that Nanxing has already agreed to treat those patients. There will definitely be a lot of things to do then. Don't you want to know about those things?"

“Nanxing must have been keeping these things from the Yun family. If you sever ties with me now, you'll have no protection whatsoever later. Although I won't let anything happen to Nanxing, can you really just walk away from this?”

"You're just using my worry about Nanxing to threaten me," Feng Jiejie said coldly.

Gu Yihe sighed helplessly again, "This isn't a threat, I'm just telling you all the pros and cons. I haven't done anything to you, just chatted and had meals with you occasionally, and I haven't felt anything was wrong, so what do you have to worry about?"

"Or is it..." He looked intently at Feng Jiejie, "or is it that you've already developed feelings for me and are afraid that my continued presence by your side will make your heart waver even more?"

Despite his seemingly calm exterior, his palms were actually slightly clenched with nervousness.

"How could that be!" Feng Jiejie retorted without even thinking. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly have any feelings for you?"

"If you haven't, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? Putting everything else aside, I haven't hurt you in all this time we've spent together. Aren't we even just ordinary friends?"

"..." Feng Jiejie looked at him, feeling even more irritated.

In truth, Gu Yihe had never harmed her; in fact, he had helped her last night.

"Do whatever you want, I'm not the one who's going to suffer."

She left those words behind, walked back to her office chair, and sat down, ready to get to work.

Only work can keep her calm.

Gu Yihe saw through Feng Jiejie's reaction but didn't say anything. He knew he had said enough today, and saying anything more would only make Feng Jiejie resentful.

He stood up, a slight smile on his lips, walked to his desk, and began to speak.

"Don't worry, I won't force you. I just need you to give me a chance and not push me away. I will accept whatever the final result is and have no regrets."

Feng Jiejie's eyelids trembled slightly, but she remained silent.

"Also, who was the person who suppressed those false rumors online last night? Could you introduce me to them?" Gu Yihe asked again.

Feng Jiejie understood what Gu Yihe was talking about almost instantly, but she wouldn't admit it.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Is the person who suppressed the news online your friend? Can you introduce me to them?" Gu Yihe asked directly.

"That person is incredibly capable, even more so than my employees. I'd like to get to know him."

Feng Jiejie looked up at Gu Yihe warily, and sneered, "So you came here so early in the morning just to find out this information?"

"Of course not, I just wanted to come and tell you that Nanxing is alright, and also to bring you breakfast, in case you don't want to eat because of what happened last night."

"I just suddenly remembered to ask about that, I was just curious, really."

His face was so sincere that no one could detect a trace of lying.

He was indeed telling the truth. After all, his biggest concern was for Feng Jiejie. As for asking who suppressed the news online, one reason was curiosity, but the more important reason was something else entirely.

He knew that Fu Yunchuan had been looking for a very mysterious hacker, and that the hacker was also working for Nanxing. The person was so mysterious that Fu Yunchuan had not been able to find out who it was.

He was equally curious about this, since even Fu Yunchuan couldn't find out. Now, after ruling out these possibilities, only the three Yun brothers were likely to be involved.

However, there is a contradiction here. The hacker appeared before Nanxing recognized the Yun family. Or were the people in contact before?

"Curious?" Feng Jiejie's face turned cold. "Gu Yihe, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I was just genuinely curious. If you really don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Just pretend I didn't ask. Don't be angry," he said softly, his tone clearly meant to coax.

Seeing how obviously Feng Jiejie's attitude had changed, he was now filled with regret. He should have known better than to ask earlier. He had put himself in this mess for his brother's sake...tsk...it seemed like a bit of a loss.

"Get out of here, I'm busy, don't delay my work." Feng Jiejie told them to leave immediately.

"I'll stay here with you a little longer. I won't bother you. Just pretend I don't exist."

"Treat me as if I don't exist? Don't you find that a bit ridiculous? Also, Nanxing is back safely, but shouldn't you take care of the things you need to take care of? Don't let Nanxing's trip be in vain." Feng Jiejie looked at him expressionlessly.

Gu Yihe paused for a moment, remembering that Fu Yunchuan had also gone there. He only knew that Jiang Bai had sent a message saying that Fu Yunchuan had found Nanxing, but he really didn't know the exact situation between the two of them now.

I hope Nanxing won't hate him because of this, and I also hope that Fu Yunchuan didn't mess things up and cause Nanxing even more harm.

Seeing that Gu Yihe didn't speak, Feng Jiejie knew she had said the right thing and urged him again.

"You'd better leave now, don't waste your time on me."

“The time I spend here with you is not wasted, but I do need to deal with something right now. You know Fu Yunchuan went over last night, and I’m afraid he might have some conflict with Nanxing because he’s in a hurry.”

As Gu Yihe explained, he took out his phone, and his expression changed instantly the moment he saw the message on the screen.

Feng Jiejie was also looking at Gu Yihe at that moment, so she didn't miss Gu Yihe's sudden change in expression.

Especially since Gu Yihe had just mentioned that Fu Yunchuan might have a conflict with Nanxing, she immediately thought that Nanxing would be wronged.

"What happened? Did Fu Yunchuan really do something to Nanxing? Did Nanxing suffer some injustice?"

Feng Jiejie stood up anxiously. When she talked to Nanxing on the phone that morning, she only remembered to ask if Nanxing was safe and injured, and she forgot to ask if Nanxing had been wronged.

"Don't worry, Nanxing hasn't been wronged. With Fu Yunchuan around, Nanxing won't be wronged," Gu Yihe replied to Feng Jiejie after replying to the message on his phone.

Feng Jiejie didn't believe him at all.

"What do you know? It's only because Fu Yunchuan is here that I'm worried Nanxing will be wronged."

Gu Yihe sighed softly upon hearing these words, knowing what Feng Jiejie meant; it was all due to the influence of what happened back then.

"No, it's not that. Fu Yunchuan is unconscious and in the hospital. Nanxing is perfectly fine. In fact, she said that Nanxing carried Fu Yunchuan down the mountain; she saved him."

Gu Yihe knew that Feng Jiejie wouldn't believe him, so he simply showed her the chat history between the staff member and him.

Feng Jiejie had no intention of not looking; she just wanted to see clearly as soon as possible to make sure Nanxing was alright.

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Nanxing was indeed alright and that it was Fu Yunchuan who was in trouble, but her expression changed the next second because of the fact that Nanxing had saved Fu Yunchuan.

"You're saying that Nanxing carried Fu Yunchuan down the mountain, and that Nanxing saved Fu Yunchuan?"

Gu Yihe nodded subconsciously, but then realized that Feng Jiejie's words were a bit off.

"You just said 'again'? What do you mean by that?"

Feng Jiejie rolled her eyes at Gu Yihe and remained silent. What could she say? Should she mention that Nanxing had saved Fu Yunchuan at Niubei Mountain when they were children? And that's why she said "again"?

However, Nanxing didn't want to talk about it, and she wouldn't expose Nanxing's mistake. After all, there was Lu Mingzhu, who had saved her life first. If Nanxing said she wouldn't use that to blackmail Fu Yunchuan, it would only make Nanxing look cheap.

"It's nothing, you should go now, I'm really busy with work."

Although Gu Yihe felt that Feng Jiejie's words were not quite right, he did have to leave first, as he had many things to do, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Okay, I'll go check it out first. Call me if anything happens, don't try to tough it out on your own."

Feng Jiejie was dazed for two seconds by the words "don't force yourself to be strong," until Gu Yihe walked to the office door and she called him back.

“Since Nanxing has agreed to help you treat those people, I have nothing to say. I will unconditionally support her choice. But I have only one request: from now on, don’t let her go to Niubei Mountain to look for any herbs.”

"Why?" Gu Yihe turned to look at her in confusion.

"Because if we let her go again, she will die."

Gu Yihe was taken aback, because Feng Jiejie's tone and expression were very serious, and she didn't seem to be joking.

He didn't know why Feng Jiejie said that, but even just because of her serious expression, he could only nod in agreement.

Moreover, even if Feng Jiejie hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have asked Nanxing to do such a thing again. This was just an emergency, a last resort.
