After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

"Send me to the Heavenly Realm."

Su Yanxi had no intention of following them. What would she do if she followed them and caused a scene?

No, she wouldn't do such a thing.

Zhao Xu didn't ask any further questions and had the driver take him to Tianyu. Along the way, Zhao Xu secretly observed Su Yanxi. From Su Yanxi's attitude, it wasn't hard to tell that Su Yanxi knew Wang Jiaojiao. Not only did they know each other, but their relationship was likely not very good.

He just didn't understand why Su Yanxi didn't choose to follow her.

After arriving at Tianyu, Su Yanxi didn't let Zhao Xu go upstairs and went back alone.

Pushing open the door, the house was deserted; Gu Yannian hadn't arrived home yet.

Su Yanxi changed her shoes and came in, sitting down on the sofa. She closed her eyes, her mind filled with the image of Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao chatting and laughing intimately in the parking lot.

Wang Jiaojiao and Gu Yannian were childhood sweethearts; she knew this from the moment she heard Gu Yannian's name. At first, she also assumed Wang Jiaojiao was Gu Yannian's girlfriend. Later, Gu Yannian told her that he only saw Wang Jiaojiao as a younger sister. There were no other romantic feelings between them!

However, Su Yanxi's woman's intuition told her that Wang Jiaojiao liked Gu Yannian, and that her liking for him was stronger than anyone else's.

But Gu Yannian was unaware of Wang Jiaojiao's feelings for him. Just as Gu Yannian was unaware that Wang Jiaojiao had made things difficult for her many times in private.

Later, Wang Jiaojiao went too far, and Gu Yannian finally realized Wang Jiaojiao's hostility towards her. From then on, Gu Yannian intentionally prevented her from meeting with Wang Jiaojiao.

She had thought she would never see Wang Jiaojiao again. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiaojiao has reappeared!

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard the sound of the door lock opening from the entrance hall.

Su Yanxi opened her eyes, and Gu Yannian had already walked in.

Seeing the person sitting on the sofa, Gu Yannian smiled and said, "Why did you come so early today?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi slowly turned her head. Gu Yannian was carrying a plastic bag filled with meat and vegetables.

"Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

Su Yanxi heard herself ask a question, but that wasn't what she really wanted to ask.

"I'm going to buy groceries. Didn't I tell you I was going to cook you something delicious? If you're tired, take a rest first, and I'll start cooking now."

Gu Yannian didn't notice Su Yanxi's unusual behavior and went to the kitchen with the plastic bag. After putting down the ingredients, Gu Yannian went back to her room to change her clothes, tied on an apron, and began preparing dinner. Throughout the process, Gu Yannian hummed a little tune, appearing to be in a very good mood.

Su Yanxi was silent for a moment, then got up and walked to the kitchen door. Looking at Gu Yannian's back, she asked, "Did something happen today? You seem to be in a good mood."

"Of course I'm happy to see you when I get home."

Gu Yannian answered without even turning his head. Normally, Su Yanxi would have been happy to hear this answer. But now, Su Yanxi felt that Gu Yannian was just brushing her off.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yanxi couldn't help but ask, "How's the new secretary? If you're not satisfied, I can find you a new one."

After asking the question, Su Yanxi clenched her fists nervously, eagerly awaiting Gu Yannian's answer.

Gu Yannian continued washing the vegetables with her head down, answering Su Yanxi's question without the slightest hesitation: "No need, the new secretary is alright."

Upon hearing this answer, Su Yanxi loosened her clenched fist and gave Gu Yannian's retreating figure a mocking smile.

She knew the answer.

Wang Jiaojiao's appearance was not unexpected; Gu Yannian knew about it beforehand.

Su Yanxi turned around and walked towards the living room, sitting down on the sofa again, her hands frighteningly cold.

Did Gu Yannian ever like her? Probably not. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left without saying goodbye back then, and he wouldn't be hiding Wang Jiaojiao's affair from her now.

From beginning to end, it was all her own wishful thinking.

She thought that as long as she gave her heart, she could move Gu Yannian and start over with him. But Gu Yannian had no intention of starting over with her, and he didn't want her sincerity at all.

after an hour.

Gu Yannian brought the cooked dishes to the table, then served rice and arranged it before going to the living room to call out, "Dinner is ready."

Seeing that Su Yanxi didn't move, Gu Yannian walked around to Su Yanxi and squatted down: "What are you thinking about so intently? I called you but you didn't hear me."

Su Yanxi's eyes flickered, her gaze landing on Gu Yannian's face. Looking at the familiar face before her, Su Yanxi felt a deep sense of estrangement.

What was Gu Yannian's motive for lying to her?

Was he certain she wouldn't know of Wang Jiaojiao's existence, or did he think he could control her?

Thinking of this, Su Yanxi smiled and said, "I'm too tired to move."

"Okay, I'll carry you there."

Without a doubt, Gu Yannian stood up, bent down, picked up Su Yanxi horizontally, and strode towards the dining table.

After putting Su Yanxi down, Gu Yannian sat down opposite Su Yanxi: "These dishes are my specialties, come and try them and see how they taste."

"It looks pretty good."

Su Yanxi took a bite and gave it high praise. Gu Yannian was very happy to receive Su Yanxi's praise.

The two enjoyed their meal together. After the meal, as usual, Gu Yannian cleaned up while Su Yanxi went to the living room to rest.

After Gu Yannian finished getting ready and sat down next to her, Su Yanxi suddenly asked a question: "Do you remember what day the fifteenth of next month is?"

Gu Yannian was stumped by the question and couldn't come up with an answer even after thinking for a while: "What day is the fifteenth of next month? I can't think of it."

Upon hearing this answer, Su Yanxi smiled but did not continue speaking.

"I smell like cooking oil all over myself, I'm going to take a shower first."

Seeing that Su Yanxi didn't explain what day the fifteenth of next month was, Gu Yannian figured it probably wasn't an important day, so she didn't press the matter further. After saying goodbye, she went back to her room to take a shower.

"Ding."

Gu Yannian had just returned to her room when her phone, which was on the coffee table, rang. A WeChat message had come in.

Su Yanxi stared at her phone for a while, hesitated for a long time, and then finally picked it up.

Whether it was because Gu Yannian was too confident or simply didn't bother to hide it, she didn't turn off WeChat notifications on her phone, and the message was displayed openly on the screen.

With just one glance, Su Yanxi's heart plummeted into an abyss.

"Brother Yan Nian, I'm so happy to be able to work with you."

"By the way, I really liked the flowers you gave me. And don't forget our date tomorrow night."
