Gu Yikun sat down and chatted with Mr. An. They played a ga of chess, and he lost gracefully, saying, "Looks like I still need to learn more."
Mr. An was delighted, "I can’t find any opponents in Yuhua Mansion anymore. Tomorrow I’ll challenge soone in the neighboring community."
An Junxi laughed out loud in the kitchen and ca out saying, "Dad, are you planning to kick soone out?"
Mr. An said, "It’s just an exchange, sotis you win, sotis you lose."
During dinner, Mrs. An talked about An Lingling. "Your aunt called , asking if I knew anything about Lingling in Yan City. Lingling suddenly called ho a while ago saying she was going abroad and wouldn’t be coming back. Your aunt is really worried! She’s been crying every day since, and Lingling’s phone is unreachable. Who knows what’s happened to her?"
An Junxi said indifferently, "Who knows about her? I’ve never even seen her."
Mrs. An talked a bit more about things back ho, and Mr. An said, "It’s rare for our daughter and son-in-law to be back for dinner, let’s not talk about them anymore. It’s just a waste of ti."
Now Mr. An has understood that nothing is more important than his daughter’s happiness. As long as she’s living well, they can’t worry about anything else too much.
An Junxi started talking about their plans to go abroad. Gu Yikun said, "Next ti, let’s bring Mom and Dad along."
Mrs. An smiled and said, "How can we have fun if we go with you young people? You enjoy yourselves; I’m busy with volunteering in the community and have many other things to do."
An Junxi saw that her mom was living a fulfilling life and felt very happy, "Mom, have you made many new friends?"
Mrs. An said, "More or less. Now that I have so free ti, occasionally doing so volunteer work and contributing to society makes feel good."
They chatted casually, and after dinner, An Junxi and Gu Yikun said goodbye to her parents and went back to the office.
Liu Zhiwen went to Yin Feibai’s office, "Cousin, did you scold Qianlan last ti? She’s been crying in front of every day, and I’m utterly annoyed!"
Yin Feibai leaned back in his chair with the files over his face, saying, "Little cousin, can you all please stop bothering ?"
Liu Zhiwen took away his files and said seriously, "Cousin, Qianlan didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t have to scold her like that. She’s been the most spoiled since childhood and has never been scolded like this."
"You’re wrong. She had a bad attitude towards her sister-in-law, even Gu Yikun couldn’t stand it."
Liu Zhiwen said, "If I convince Qianlan to apologize to Jun Xi, will you be nicer to her?"
"Depends."
Seeing that her cousin’s tone wasn’t so harsh, Liu Zhiwen took out a box and said, "I bought this necklace. When Qianlan cos up later, give it to her and say it’s from you."
"Is that necessary? Wouldn’t she overthink it?"
Liu Zhiwen pouted and said, "Cousin, just help this once. At least she won’t be pestering with her crying all the ti. She’s driving to depression!"
Yin Feibai, worn out from her pleading, relented, "Fine, fine, just this once."
Liu Zhiwen was overjoyed and inford Qianlan to co up.
Gu Qianlan walked into the office looking pitiful, "Brother Yin."
Yin Feibai said coldly, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Gu Qianlan didn’t think she was wrong at all but was afraid of making Brother Yin angry, so she reluctantly said, "I know."
Yin Feibai handed her a box, "This is for you."
Gu Qianlan’s face imdiately lit up with a smile. She opened the box, "What a beautiful necklace! Brother Yin, did you specially buy it for ?" The style was not her favorite, but it didn’t matter. As long as it was from Brother Yin, she liked it.
Yin Feibai rolled his eyes hard.
Liu Zhiwen, standing aside, made a pleading gesture. Only then did he say, "Yes."
Gu Qianlan took out the necklace and walked to him, "Brother Yin, can you put it on for ?"
Yin Feibai clumsily helped her put on the necklace. As she slightly turned her head, she could feel him so close. Her heartbeat quickened.
With the necklace on, Gu Qianlan said solemnly, "Brother Yin, I won’t wear any other necklace from now on, only the one you gave ."
"Suit yourself," Yin Feibai couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters.
Liu Zhiwen, seeing that Gu Qianlan was happy, pulled her away, saying, "Let’s not disturb Cousin’s work. Didn’t you say you wanted to apologize to Jun Xi? I’ll go with you."
Gu Qianlan, puffed up with anger, really didn’t want to go!
Seeing her angry expression again, Yin Feibai warned, "Gu Qianlan, you have to follow through on what you promised."
Gu Qianlan fiddled with the pendant on the necklace and reluctantly said, "Fine, I’ll go."
Yin Feibai watched them leave the office, and lay wearily on the couch. Why did Gu Yikun have to make the first move to win over An Junxi, leaving his sister to tornt him like this?
On the way, Liu Zhiwen said to Gu Qianlan, "If you really don’t want to apologize to Jun Xi, just say a few casual words. Don’t lose your temper again, or Brother Gu will be angry, and my cousin will be angry too." Her head was filled with Gu Qianlan’s whining.
"I got it, you’re so annoying." Gu Qianlan hugged her arms and occasionally touched the necklace around her neck, thinking, Brother Yin is so good to ; I’ll endure this once.
An Junxi was in Gu Yikun’s office looking at photography books when Secretary Wang knocked and ca in saying, "Miss An, Ms. Gu is here."
Thinking it was Gu Qianlan, An Junxi looked up, stood up, and said, "Aunt, why are you here?"
Secretary Wang was surprised. Miss An called Ms. Gu "aunt," implying she was following the CEO’s lead. Could they have already t the parents and were preparing to marry?
She clicked her tongue in awe. Miss An looked delicate but must have so skills to gain the Gu Family’s approval.
Secretary Wang remained calm but was filled with curiosity. She escorted Gu Kuangyuan in, saying, "The CEO’s eting will be over in half an hour. Ms. Gu, please have a seat." She served her a cup of coffee and left.
Gu Kuangyuan sat on the sofa, "I’m here to discuss sothing with Yikun." She held shares in the Gu Family, making her technically a shareholder, though she rarely ca by.
Seeing An Junxi reading, she asked, "Really planning to pursue advanced studies in photography?"
"Yes," An Junxi sat beside her, "Aunt, have you seen the models Liu Zhiwen recomnded? Were any of them suitable?"
Gu Kuangyuan took a sip of coffee, "I saw them. None of them were suitable."
An Junxi felt a bit awkward, "Then..."
"No worries, I wanted Asian faces, but now I’ll consider using Western models."
They chatted for a while, and then Cheng Ye knocked and entered.
An Junxi told him, "Brother Cheng, Yikun is in a eting."
Holding several files, Cheng Ye said, "I know."
He placed the files on the CEO’s desk. An Junxi thought he was leaving, but Cheng Ye sat on the sofa opposite them and said to Gu Kuangyuan, "Miss Gu, it’s been a while since you visited headquarters."
