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

Su Yanxi is going to America!

Gu Yannian had already heard the news before she even got off work.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Yannian's first reaction was disbelief, because Su Yanxi hadn't mentioned it to him at all. But the rumors circulating in the company were quite detailed, even saying that Su Yanxi had already booked the plane tickets. This made Gu Yannian restless.

When I got home from get off work, Su Yanxi was still not back.

Gu Yannian, filled with questions, went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. By the time she finished, Su Yanxi had also arrived home.

"It smells so good! What delicious food are you making?"

Su Yanxi changed her shoes and walked over. She glanced at the dishes on the table, all of which were her favorites.

"Go wash your hands, dinner is ready."

"it is good."

Su Yanxi responded and turned to go to the bathroom to absorb the nutrients. Gu Yannian took off her apron and sat down at the dining table. After Su Yanxi came over, she handed her the bowl and chopsticks.

Watching Su Yanxi devour her food, Gu Yannian hesitated for a moment before casually asking, "What do you think of the hotel for the celebration banquet?"

"Yes, it's great. Changfeng's annual meeting was also held there before."

"I might have to go to the hotel first, and then I'll come back to pick you up later?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yanxi put down her chopsticks: "I probably can't attend this celebration banquet."

"Why? Is something wrong?" Gu Yannian recalled the news she had heard and joked, "You wouldn't be thinking of going to see some other man behind my back, would you?"

"I'm going to see a friend!"

Su Yanxi replied generously, "He's working on a project abroad and hasn't been back for a long time. I'm going to see him, so I'll go this Friday. I've already made this arrangement; I didn't expect it to clash with your celebration banquet."

Seeing that Su Yanxi was so straightforward and didn't hide anything, Gu Yannian felt a little better: "Can't you go at another time? This Sunday isn't just about the celebration banquet, there's something else I want to tell you."

Su Yanxi fell silent. If she hadn't made plans with Shen Shi'an, she would definitely have attended Gu Yannian's celebration banquet.

The cooperation that Gu Yannian negotiated this time has brought considerable benefits. More importantly, based on the commission, this cooperation is enough to pay off Gu Yannian's bank debts.

Gu Yannian initially agreed to be Su Yanxi's sugar daddy/sugar baby arrangement largely because of the bank debt. Now that the debt is paid off and Gu Yannian has proven his capabilities, is Gu Yannian going to leave him?

Thinking of this, Su Yanxi felt a little flustered and didn't want to face it: "I've already made plans with my friend and booked the plane tickets, so changing the time might not be possible. You can go to the celebration party by yourself. As for the other things, we can talk about them when I get back, okay?"

Gu Yannian opened her mouth, wanting to say a few more words of advice, but seeing that Su Yanxi had made up her mind, she could only give up.

"Okay, whatever you say. Be careful on the road."

Friday arrived quickly.

Gu Yannian had originally planned to see Su Yanxi off, but Su Yanxi had already left for the airport that afternoon. Gu Yannian went home alone, collapsed on the sofa, and felt utterly bored.

The phone rang, and Gu Yannian took it out and answered, "Hello."

"Hello Mr. Gu, this is Weixin Bakery. I'd like to confirm the cake delivery time for Sunday. Is it still 7 PM as you previously mentioned?"

"Can we go earlier?"

"Sure, when would you like to arrive?"

"Around 5 p.m., I guess."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yannian tossed it onto the coffee table.

Sunday was Su Yanxi's birthday, and he ordered a cake and flowers. He had already planned to take Su Yanxi home immediately after the celebration party.

The bank loan has been paid off, and the remaining debt is not a big problem.

He wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Su Yanxi. Their relationship shouldn't be like this.

But plans don't always go as expected, and Su Yanxi went abroad. The cake had already been ordered, and he didn't want to cancel it; he could just eat it by himself after the celebration party.

Gu Yannian was depressed for two whole days. It wasn't until Sunday afternoon, when the cake was delivered, that Gu Yannian managed to cheer up.

Gu Yannian put the cake in the refrigerator before heading to the celebration party, then went to take a shower and change her clothes.

When Gu Yannian arrived at the hotel, it was already quite late. Many of the company's employees had arrived, making the place very lively. Gu Yannian perked up and greeted everyone.

The hotel's celebration banquet was held on the terrace, which was much more interesting than the previous conventional private rooms.

Employees were allowed to bring their families to the celebration banquet, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh, creating a very lively atmosphere.

In contrast, Gu Yannian, sitting in the corner, seemed rather lonely.

Wang Jiaojiao had noticed Gu Yannian when she arrived at the hotel. Seeing Gu Yannian's sullen expression, she knew that Gu Yannian was disappointed because of Su Yanxi. But it didn't matter; she could go and soothe her disappointment.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiaojiao walked over to Gu Yannian and sat down next to him: "Brother Yannian".

Gu Yannian smiled at Wang Jiaojiao and continued drinking. Seeing this, Wang Jiaojiao offered a toast: "Brother Yannian, let me toast you. I've learned a lot from following you these past few days."

Gu Yannian raised an eyebrow and clinked glasses with Wang Jiaojiao.

Seeing that Gu Yannian's wine glass was empty, Wang Jiaojiao offered to pour Gu Yannian a drink and drank with her.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the banquet with red wine, he immediately spotted Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao in the corner. Someone saw Zhao Xu and greeted him. Zhao Xu smiled and responded, then secretly snapped a picture of Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao and sent it to Su Yanxi.

He attended the banquet today on behalf of Su Yanxi. He felt it was his duty to keep an eye on Gu Yannian for Su Yanxi!

Although he wasn't entirely clear on the exact nature of the relationship between Su Yanxi and Gu Yannian, there was no doubt that Su Yanxi valued Gu Yannian.

Seeing Wang Jiaojiao constantly plying Gu Yannian with alcohol, Zhao Xu grew anxious and took out his phone to warn Su Yanxi. He feared that if this continued, Gu Yannian would be walking into a trap.

After waiting a long time for Su Yanxi's reply, and seeing that Gu Yannian was already somewhat drunk, Zhao Xu steeled his heart and decided to go over. Before he could move, his phone rang.

Zhao Xu initially thought it was Su Yanxi calling, but it turned out to be his father. Upon answering, his father's anxious voice came through: "Xiao Xu, come back quickly, your grandfather has fainted."

"what?"

Zhao Xu exclaimed in surprise, hung up the phone, glanced at Gu Yannian again, and had no choice but to leave first.

He should be fine if he goes back to check and then comes to pick him up, right?
