Night Fire Lingering

"what are you doing?"

Wen Yan suddenly pushed Gu Yanci away, her face full of panic, covering her mouth in disbelief.

The lingering sensation of the man's sucking on her lips sent chills down her spine.

Wen Yan tried to calm herself down: "Gu Yanci, do you think it's appropriate for you to do something like this given our current relationship?"

Gu Yanci wiped his lips with his thumb, his eyes filled with the satisfaction of a successful hunt.

“Even though it wasn’t appropriate, I still kissed you. Are you going to give me some evidence to prove that I sexually harassed you? Who are you going to tell this story to?” Gu Yanci tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said patiently, “Wen, this is the adult world.”

In the adult world, power and advantages and disadvantages come first.

Evidence is the second thing to consider.

Wen Yan took a deep breath and said coldly, "I understand."

Gu Yanci took a step back slightly.

Wen Yan went to get her phone; it was already 15% charged, enough to get her home.

It was almost noon when she coldly reminded him, "Grandma told me to remind you to eat properly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan suddenly remembered that she had received two calls from Gu Yanci's phone that morning. Would someone be looking for her phone?

She glanced at the call log.

The very top one is: Jianghuai Preface!

And it wasn't a rejection; the call lasted a minute and a half!

"Jiang called me? And you answered?" Wen Yan immediately turned to ask Gu Yanci.

Gu Yanci was in a good mood, but when he heard the words "Senior Jiang", his expression immediately became listless.

"What did he say? Gu Yanci, what did you say to him on the phone?" Wen Yan's face was full of doubt, as if she were saying something inappropriate.

"Are you so worried about him?" Gu Yanci leaned on the table with one hand.

"What did you say?!" Wen Yan walked over, grabbed his tie, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blazed with anger.

Gu Yanci didn't want to bring it up in the first place, but Wen Yan's reaction...

He deliberately said, "I said, he's disturbing us."

"What disturbance?" Wen Yan asked, somewhat confused.

Gu Yanci raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression meaningful.

Having been intimate with him so many times, Wen Yan immediately understood: "You... Gu Yanci, you bastard! You shameless! Don't you have any shame?"

They can say anything and everything!

Doesn't he have any shame?!

"What, are you worried that your good senior will look down on you?" Gu Yanci's slender fingertips brushed against Wen Yan's cheek. "How could that be? Jiang Huaixu doesn't even mind being a mistress!"

Gu Yanci emphasized the pronunciation of the word 'three'.

"Gu Yanci, Senior Jiang doesn't have those dirty thoughts!" Wen Yan couldn't help but defend Jiang Huaixu.

How could the only son of the prestigious Jiang family of Nancheng possibly know the truth and act as a third party?

It's ridiculous!

Gu Yanci remained silent. He was too lazy to argue with Wen Yan about this issue and hoped that Wen Yan would not understand Jiang Huaixu's intentions at all!

"Wen Yan, what do you like about him?" Gu Yanci asked.

Wen Yan almost forgot the persona she had established: "her new crush is a senior student." And for some reason, Gu Yanci was convinced that Jiang Huaixu was that senior student.

"I like that he's good-looking." Wen Yan didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Huaixu, so she made up a story on the spot. "Maybe I'll see someone even better-looking in a couple of days and then I won't like him anymore."

"Good-looking?" Gu Yanci scoffed, glancing sideways at him with his sleek eyes. "I'm not good-looking?"

Wen Yan looked at him suspiciously.

Why did this person suddenly start comparing himself to others?

Gu Yanci is known in wealthy circles for his good looks; he's a handsome man. There's a saying that if he didn't want to be a CEO anymore, he could work in the entertainment industry and make a fortune just from his face.

Jianghuai Preface is handsome and clear, with a gentle and elegant temperament, a refreshing breeze, and a bright and clear moon.

Gu Yanci, on the other hand, has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His handsome appearance carries an innate sense of oppressive power due to his high position. Even though he wears a human skin and acts harmlessly, it still makes people wary of the true face beneath his skin.

Wen Yan stared at Gu Yanci for a moment, lost in thought.

A few seconds later, when she suddenly came to her senses, Gu Yanci was already close to her, looking at her with a hint of mockery.

Gu Yanci: "Hmm?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Yan pretended to look Gu Yanci up and down, and said, "With a bespoke suit, precious gemstones, a Patek Philippe watch and Italian leather shoes, how could President Gu not look good?"

These words, while seemingly a compliment, actually showed no appreciation for Gu Yanci's looks, only for her clothing.

Gu Yanci's expression remained unchanged, but a thin layer of frost appeared in his eyes.

at this time--

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.

Wen Yan was so frightened that she took a step back.

Zhou Qi's voice came from outside the door: "President Gu, Attorney Sun from Jinhe Law Firm is here for your final interview."

"Sun Xingbo?" Wen Yan lowered her voice, pointing in shock at the door.

Her body reacted faster than her mind; she had already started looking for a place to hide.

Gu Yanci watched her head dart left and right, her whole body tense, for a while before kindly pointing to his lounge: "Go inside?"

Wen Yan nodded, immediately opened the door, went inside, and closed the door behind her.

The interview was arranged in advance, but Gu Yanci didn't have time to look at the interview list. He just had to think of answers on the spot to answer whatever Sun Xingbai asked.

"What was the consideration behind this question? What language are these two words in?" Gu Yanci suddenly pointed to a question on the last page of the interview list.

Sun Xingbo said, "President Gu, the questions on this last page are all ones that we feel are not very important after comprehensive evaluation. You are very busy, so we don't plan to ask you about them."

"I want to know." Gu Yanci leaned back in his chair and clasped his hands together.

It was a very ordinary action, but when he did it, it exuded an aura of authority.

Sun Xingbo immediately said, "This was written by Wen Yan, an intern on our previous project. If you're interested, I can call her now!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Wen Yan's number.

Zhou Qi, who was standing guard nearby, was speechless.

Sure enough, the phone in the CEO's right hand suddenly rang.

Sun Xingbo was stunned. This was too much of a coincidence. He called Wen Yan, and President Gu's phone rang too!

"Mr. Gu, your phone is ringing," Sun Xingbo reminded him.

Gu Yanci glanced at the phone and said, "It's not mine."

Sun Xingbo's heart skipped a beat. He swallowed hard, looked at his phone with self-doubt, and with trembling fingertips, tentatively pressed the red "End" button.

The white Apple phone stopped ringing, and the office returned to silence.

Deadly quiet.

Sun Xingbo broke out in a cold sweat and, unwilling to give up, dialed Wen Yan's phone number again.

The white fruit-brand mobile phone on the table rang cheerfully again.

Sun Xingbo hung up immediately as if he'd been electrocuted, and stood up tremblingly: "President Gu, this..."
