Night Fire Lingering

--wrong.

Still not right!

The phone even locked the screen after prompting five incorrect password attempts!

Wen Yan was very angry.

Although she knew her birthday was definitely not Gu Yanci's phone password, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed and annoyed when she actually managed to find it.

Now that she was blocked in front of the company building, Wen Yan punched the air hard on the spot:

"Bastard! Gu Yanci is a complete bastard!"

"calls me?"

Before the words were finished, a male voice came from inside the hall.

Gu Yanci was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had a handsome face and a noble temperament. He wore a very formal suit vest and a ruby ​​tie that shone brightly in the sunlight.

Wen Yan: "..."

"What did you say to me?" Gu Yanci stood on the steps, his shadow blocking the sunlight for Wen Yan.

Wen Yan gripped his phone, wanting to smash it in his face.

But this is his company, his territory. She'd probably be dragged out by the company's security guards before she could even land a punch on his face.

"You've come at just the right time," Wen Yan said sarcastically.

Gu Yanci's arrival wasn't coincidental; the receptionist saw Wen Yan lingering outside and informed the president's office, which is why Gu Yanci came down to meet her.

Then he heard the girl cursing him behind his back.

"Why didn't you call me?" Gu Yanci asked her.

Wen Yan looked up at him and found that he seemed to be in a good mood, probably because his work went well today?

The boss is calling for us to work overtime on the weekend and he's in a good mood. What a shrew!

“Your phone is password protected, I can’t unlock it.” Wen Yan rolled her eyes and handed him the phone.

He handed it halfway over, then pulled it back and stretched out his other hand: "Where's my phone?"

"I'm charging my phone in the office," Gu Yanci said.

When Wen Yan heard the first three words, she wanted to ask her secretary to bring the phone down, but it was charging...

Wen Yan sighed and had no choice but to follow him upstairs.

"Didn't you try the phone password?" Gu Yanci asked Wen Yan as they walked.

Don't all these young girls like to check their boyfriends' phones?

Wen Yan never made that request.

Wen Yan stared at her reflection in the elevator car, sulking for a few seconds, unable to contain her anger:

"I tried! I tried your birthday and Wen Muzhi's birthday, and I even tried my own birthday! None of them were it! I must be crazy to try my own birthday!"

After she finished her rapid-fire speech, she looked closely and saw that Gu Yanci actually had a smile in his eyes.

"What are you doing? Are you making fun of me? Are you making fun of me!" Wen Yan's chest heaved with anger. "I should have said all the bad things about you when Grandma called!"

Gu Yanci was still laughing, but when he saw her chest, his smile gradually faded.

He closed his eyes, suppressing the desire welling up within them.

"Password." Gu Yanci showed her his phone, typed in a string of numbers in front of her, and then looked up at her, asking, "Did you remember it?"

"I'll write this down—" Why?

Wen Yan stopped halfway through her sentence because the two of them were too close.

She was so close that the moment she looked up, she was drawn into the man's deep eyes.

"I can't remember it." Wen Yan quickly took a step back after realizing what she meant. "Is there any significance to this password?"

Wen Yan quickly went through her mind; it wasn't anyone's birthday in the Wen family.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Gu Yanci straightened up and walked out.

If you don't remember, that's fine.

—That string of numbers represents the date Wen Yan first met him when she came to the capital.

"Mr. Gu, here I am."

The general counsel was waiting at the entrance of the executive class, holding a stack of documents, waiting for Gu Yanci.

Upon seeing Gu Yanci, she hurried over in a few steps, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Wen Yan, who was a few steps behind. Her words stopped abruptly, and her expression became indescribable, but she still wanted to speak.

Zhou Qi had already walked over solicitously, smiling and saying, "Good morning, Madam."

"Too much!" The general counsel almost cried out, his eyes widening as he stared at Wen Yan, almost popping out of their sockets.

Wen Yan looked at him.

"I'm so... shocked." The general counsel quickly changed his words, "So you're the... the..."

That's fucking outrageous!

"I'm here to get my phone." Wen Yan withdrew her gaze and gave Zhou Qi a disapproving look.

This person is usually very tight-lipped. She and Wen Yan have been married for three years, and Zhou Qi has never said a word about it. How could he have slipped up today and called her "wife" in front of people who didn't know the situation?

Zhou Qi glanced at Gu Yanci, and seeing that his boss didn't intend to ask him to run errands, he nodded respectfully to Wen Yan and immediately left with the legal director.

After walking a little further away...

"Holy crap, what's going on?!" Even the general counsel's deliberately lowered voice couldn't hide his shock.

Zhou Qi shrugged: "As you can see, licensed and legitimate people shouldn't think or talk nonsense."

In the past, Zhou Qi wouldn't have dared to be so certain. But for some reason, in the past six months, President Gu suddenly showed a lot of concern for his wife, making him realize that the other member of the Wen family was simply no match for Wen Yan!

"My God, thank goodness you reminded me, Brother Zhou, you are my savior!" The legal director was sweating profusely.

He had been wondering which vixen was so capable of hooking up with President Gu so quickly and even getting into his bed!

I almost said the wrong thing and offended the boss!

……

"Didn't you say your phone was charging?" Wen Yan pointed expressionlessly at the white phone on Gu Yanci's desk.

When I picked it up, I saw that there was only 3% battery left!

"Oh, I misremembered." Gu Yanci showed no remorse whatsoever.

Wen Yan gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, and wanted to leave immediately, but with so little battery, she wouldn't even be able to get home!

Seeing Wen Yan's head darting around, Gu Yanci, leaning against his desk, kindly asked, "Do you need to charge?"

Wen Yan felt that Gu Yanci at this moment was like a wolf in sheep's clothing waiting for Little Red Riding Hood to take the bait.

Insidious and cunning!

But she still said, "Ah, let's go!"

We have no choice but to go for it!

In this world, you can't get by without a mobile phone!

Gu Yanci pointed to a box next to the office chair; it was a wireless charger.

Wen Yan reluctantly placed her phone on the table, inwardly cursing Gu Yanci.

"Wen Zhizhi, try to control your expression when you're muttering about someone," Gu Yanci reminded her, amused.

Wen Yan glared at her: "I just talked about you, what can you do about it? Is it illegal to talk about someone? Do you have any evidence to prove that I talked about you?"

“Wen, this is not a school or a courtroom. We adults don’t talk about this kind of evidence.”

Wen Yan stared at him, clearly disagreeing with his point of view.

Gu Yanci suddenly stood up and walked step by step toward Wen Yan.

Wen Yan recalled her embarrassing moment last night, but she stubbornly refused to back down, looking up at him with unwavering determination.

"Ah!"

Gu Yanci suddenly burst out laughing.

Just as Wen Yan began to have doubts, the man suddenly leaned down and kissed her.

Having not been close for so long, Wen Yan was a little dazed.

Before she could react, she was about to push him away when Gu Yanci had already held her tightly in his arms.

The kiss deepened without any struggle...
