Hidden truth, intricate love

When Gu Beichen opened the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Xiaoya and Su Wanqing standing together. Then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Xiaoya, why are you here?"

Xiaoya turned around, a seemingly innocent smile on her face: "Brother, I came to visit your company today and take a look at your working environment."

Gu Beichen walked over to them, a puzzled look in his eyes: "Wanqing, do you know each other?"

Su Wanqing smiled slightly, but the smile was a bit forced: "Yes, Xiaoya just introduced herself to me and said a lot about you."

Xiaoya took the opportunity to speak up: "Yes, brother, I have been chatting with Sister Wanqing about the interesting things that happened when you were a child, and how we kept in touch after we grew up."

Gu Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to have noticed something unusual in Xiaoya's words: "Oh? What did you talk about?" Gu Beichen looked at Su Wanqing again. He was afraid that Su Wanqing would misunderstand something. He felt uneasy. They had just started. He didn't want to make Su Wanqing sad, and he didn't want her to misunderstand him.

Su Wanqing sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere and tried to smooth things over. "Xiaoya is very talkative, and we had a great time chatting. She especially talked about your childhood and how you were so kind to her. I didn't expect you had such a wonderful childhood." After Su Wanqing finished speaking, she couldn't hide some sadness. Her parents had left when she was so young, and she had only Li Ming to accompany her as she grew up in an orphanage...

Xiaoya continued with her plan, pretending to sow seeds of suspicion unintentionally. "Sister Wanqing speaks highly of Brother, but I can sense that there must be many stories between you two that I don't know about. Brother Beichen, are you willing to share them with me? I also want to know what interesting things you've done while I've been away. When I was here, you were willing to share everything with me."

Gu Beichen's vigilance was aroused. He realized that Xiaoya's words might have had an impact on Su Wanqing. "Xiaoya, Wanqing is my colleague and someone I respect very much. I hope we can both remain professional and respectful."

Xiaoya blinked and pretended to be innocent: "Of course, brother. I just think Sister Wanqing is very kind and we had a very pleasant chat." Xiaoya was very proud when she saw the performance of Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing. This was exactly the result she wanted, to destroy their relationship.

Su Wanqing's confusion deepened with every word Xiaoya spoke. She didn't know how to respond to Xiaoya's naiveté and ignorance, nor did she know how to face the doubts that gradually grew in her heart. She suddenly felt that she didn't understand Gu Beichen. She didn't know anything about him. She suddenly thought of how Gu Beichen had behaved with other women when she first started working at the company, and a feeling of disappointment welled up in her.

Gu Beichen sensed Su Wanqing's uneasiness. He turned to her with concern in his tone: "Wanqing, if you feel uncomfortable, we can find a place to talk alone. I'll tell you everything you want to know, okay?" Gu Beichen was very nervous. He loved Su Wanqing and hoped that she would not misunderstand him.

Xiaoya observed their interaction from the side, a subtle smile on her lips. Her plan was working, and Su Wanqing's uneasiness was exactly what she wanted. But this was only the first step. She wanted her brother Beichen to be with her willingly.

Xiaoya's inner world is like a deep ocean, filled with determination and resolve. Her love is like a beacon, guiding her forward in the darkness. Even if the abyss lies ahead, she is willing to pay any price for Gu Beichen's love. Her heart has no regrets, only a one-way street: her unwavering pursuit of love.

She hadn't realized that every decision and action she made was like dancing on the edge of a cliff. A single misstep could plunge her into an emotional abyss. Her plan was a double-edged sword, potentially severing the bond between Su Wanqing and Gu Beichen, or plunging herself into an irretrievable situation. However, Xiaoya's heart was consumed by love, and she was willing to risk everything for it, even to the brink of destruction.

Gu Beichen led Su Wanqing into a quiet conference room and closed the door, shutting out the outside noise. His eyes were firm, his voice gentle, and he held Su Wanqing in his arms. "Wanqing, I know Xiaoya's words may confuse you, but I hope you can trust me. There are no secrets between us. I've always treated Xiaoya like a younger sister. My mother loves her very much. Xiaoya and my family were very close when she was little, and we were often together. I only have a brotherly and sisterly bond with her."

Su Wanqing looked into Gu Beichen's eyes. She could feel his sincerity, but the doubts in her heart had not completely dissipated. "Beichen, of course I believe you, but I don't know your past, and I don't know the relationship between you and Xiaoya. I envy your childhood a little, and I...?" Gu Beichen looked at Su Wanqing affectionately: "Wanqing, you have me in the future. I am your backer. Don't be sad."

Xiaoya stood outside the door, her heart racing, wondering how Gu Beichen would explain this to Su Wanqing. She realized her plan might have come to an end, but she still refused to give up. A faint smile played on her lips. "Su Wanqing, this is just an appetizer. I have plenty of ways to get you to leave Brother Beichen." Xiaoya began to mentally plan her next move.

As Su Wanqing listened to Gu Beichen's explanation, the fog in her heart gradually dissipated. She began to understand Gu Beichen's position and felt his sincerity. She decided to put aside her suspicions and give him her trust.

As the fog in Su Wanqing's heart gradually dissipated, she decided to trust Gu Beichen. However, Xiaoya did not give up her plan. She knew that if she wanted to completely destroy the relationship between Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing, she would need more subtle and direct means.

A few days later, Xiaoya invited everyone at work, citing her upcoming birthday as an excuse. She approached Su Wanqing's desk and said in a seemingly friendly yet somewhat condescending tone, "Sister Wanqing, I'm having a birthday party next weekend, and I hope you can come. I think this would be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better."

Su Wanqing was a little surprised, but she politely accepted the invitation: "Thank you, Xiaoya, I will go."

Xiaoya smiled slightly and turned away, but there was a sly glint in her eyes. She knew this would be her chance to demonstrate her influence and control over the situation.

On the day of the birthday party, Xiaoya dressed up meticulously, wearing an expensive gown that made her appear both noble and arrogant. She deliberately engaged in intimate conversations with other colleagues in front of Su Wanqing, showcasing her status and popularity within her circle of friends. Xiaoya's goal was to make Su Wanqing feel like she didn't fit in with Gu Beichen's world.

Halfway through the party, Xiaoya found an opportunity, pulled Su Wanqing aside, and said with feigned concern, "Sister Wanqing, I've noticed that you and Brother Beichen have been very close lately, and I'm really happy for you. However, I must remind you that there are many sides of Brother Beichen's life that you don't understand."

Su Wanqing was confused. She didn't understand Xiaoya's intention: "Xiaoya, there is no secret between Beichen and me. I trust him."

Xiaoya feigned surprise. "Oh, is that so? I might be overthinking it. But, Sister Wanqing, you should know that Brother Beichen's family and our company are inextricably linked. Sometimes, these connections might force him to make some... less personal decisions."
