The next day.
When Lin Yue woke up and was about to make breakfast for Gu Feng, she discovered a text ssage from him on WeChat.
It read, "I’ve gone back to Beijing, so I won’t be joining you and Uncle for the al. Please let Uncle and Auntie know."
Upon seeing this ssage, Lin Yue felt a surge of disappointnt and thought to herself, Could it be that he doesn’t want to go back to his hotown with him to et his relatives?
Imdiately, she started to panic and muttered to herself, "Could he have left because he was angry about going to see him last night and then kissing him in front of everyone?"
Lin Yue suddenly lost all motivation to make breakfast.
She quickly typed and sent a ssage, "Will you co back?"
Gu Feng, who was about to take off on his flight, saw this puzzling ssage and replied with a, "?"
Lin Yue: "Is there sothing going on at ho?"
What she really wanted to ask was, "Are you angry with ?"
Gu Feng: "Yeah, I need to et with a few comrades-in-arms."
Since his return to the country, none of his comrades had been in Beijing, which is why he ca to Jiangcheng.
Li Yan had ntioned last night that they had co back especially to et up and notified Gu Feng to join them.
After sending this ssage, Gu Feng saw the plane was about to take off and switched his phone to ’flight mode.’
Lin Yue: "So...you will co back, right?"
After sending the ssage, Lin Yue saw that he didn’t reply imdiately.
She went to freshen up with a heavy heart.
Later, she checked her phone again.
Gu Feng still hadn’t replied.
Lin Yue, distracted, changed into an elegant, mature sweater paired with an OL-style knee-length skirt. As she was about to grab her car keys, she noticed that Gu Feng’s keys for his rcedes-Benz G-Class were also there.
Without reason, she turned and opened Gu Feng’s room door.
Opening the closet, she saw that all the clothes she had bought for him were there, but Gu Feng took with him the few pieces of military morabilia that had sentintal value.
A sudden anxiety gripped Lin Yue’s heart.
It’s over!
It’s over!
He hasn’t really left, has he?
She took out her phone, only to find that Gu Feng still hadn’t replied to her.
Lin Yue felt deflated, listlessly picking up her handbag and taking Gu Feng’s car keys. She drove his G-Class to the company.
During the eting, the company’s mid-to-senior-level managers were puzzled. Wasn’t their president very happy and jovial last night?
How co in just one day, she seed to have returned to her cold, queen-like deanor of a few months ago?
Perhaps Lin Yue didn’t feel it herself, but today her face, even her eyes, seed filled with a cold indifference.
During the eting, she would get distracted, not fully listening to the financial reports being read. When it was over and she remained silent, no one dared to ask.
"President Lin, I have finished my report."
Lin Yue ca back to reality and lifted her gaze towards the employee, her look so cold and aloof, it was as if she was miles away.
"Understood." She said, then once again retreated into her icy facade.
The departnt managers shivered and could do nothing but direct pleading glances at Yu, the chief secretary, hoping for her help.
Yu could only offer a wry smile, not knowing what had happened.
She was also puzzled. Over the past month, the president had gradually beco more cheerful, a stark contrast to the workplace queen she had once been.
But today, for so reason, even though the company was thriving, she seed to revert to that icy state.
While Lin Yue was absentmindedly holding her pen, Gu Feng, who had just arrived in Beijing, saw her ssage and replied with, "Yeah, once I finish up here, I’ll co back."
Upon hearing the phone vibrate, Lin Yue glanced over. Her Fruit Phone’s retinal sensor recognized her and activated the screen, and she just saw Gu Feng’s ssage.
For that minute, the tension in Lin Yue’s usually cool and pale face eased.
The employees in the eting room could feel the mont when the corners of her mouth lifted, and the temperature in the room seed to warm instantly.
Gu Feng typed another ssage, "Also, my uncle wants to invite you and Uncle to a al, he has your phone number. If he contacts you later, bring Uncle and the rest with you."
Lin Yue, unconcerned that she was in a eting room, quickly typed a reply, "I’m afraid I’ll ss up without you here (nervous)."
Gu Feng: "What’s there to be afraid of? My uncle is just as easy-going as my mom."
Lin Yue’s face broke into a smile: "Okay, I got it. I’ll take them there when the ti cos."
Gu Feng: "There’s one more thing."
Lin Yue: "?"
Gu Feng: "If you’re free, could you co to Beijing and go ho with ?"
"Pffft."
Lin Yue, overwheld with happiness, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Only then did she realize that all the employees in the eting room were staring at her.
Moreover, possibly because they were all ward by Lin Yue’s sudden spring-like smile amidst the cold winter, they all unconsciously showed a touch of affection on their faces due to her sweet smile.
Lin Yue pretended to be stern, "Is there anything else?"
Yes, there was!
The eting wasn’t over yet.
But the executives present imdiately shook their heads: "No, no, nothing!"
Lin Yue glared at them, "Then what are you sitting around for? Don’t you have work to do?"
Suddenly, everyone picked up their docunts and stood up to leave, but they all had a smile on their faces.
At the Beijing airport, Gu Feng saw that Lin Yue hadn’t replied to his ssage right away.
Curious, he decided to send a voice ssage: "Lin Yue, we had an agreent, right? If I need you to coordinate, you have to co."
Seeing the ssage, Lin Yue’s smile grew even wider.
She murmured to herself with light humor, "You know how to be anxious, huh? Why scare for no reason!"
