Gu Yuyan looked at the harmonious scene before her and forced a smile on her face. She asked, “Shen, who is she?”
“Let me introduce you, my wife, Rong Qi,” said Ye Nanshen. His expression remained unchanged, but his gaze toward Rong Qi became incredibly gentle.
Taking in the faint fragrance emanating from Rong Qi’s body, Ye Nanshen’s restless heart calmed down a bit.
“Your wife? Isn’t she just a student?” Gu Yuyan asked. She could not believe it, and her fingers clenched tightly.
Ye Nanshen’s voice turned cold, “She is.”
Rong Qi sneered, looking at the untouched cup of coffee on the desk, and her mood improved a bit. She subtly moved the cup of coffee to the edge of the table and grinned widely at Ye Nanshen.
Gu Ziye entered the office, supporting his waist, with a few finger marks still visible on his face. When he saw the scene inside, his heart skipped a beat.
“Yuyan, Nanshen… How was your talk?” Gu Ziye asked.
Gu Yuyan’s strong expression flashed with a trace of hurt, and she sarcastically said, “We haven’t come to that yet. Ziyu, you came at the right time. You can listen with us.”
Gu Ziye suddenly remembered what Gu Yuyan had told him earlier, that she came here to discuss cooperation. He walked in, pulled a chair for himself, and sat down with the mannerism of an old man.
Gu Yuyan turned her head to look at Gu Ziye and exclaimed, “Ziyu, what happened to your face?”
Ye Nanshen also shifted his gaze to Gu Ziye.
Gu Ziye quickly covered his face and glared at Rong Qi, stammering, “I-I accidentally bumped into something just now, th-that’s why I got hurt.” ‘I can’t say that a woman pressed me down and beat me up? It’s humiliating! I can’t reveal the truth!* Gu Ziye swore in his heart.
‘Could a bump create a handprint on his face?’ Gu Yuyan thought.
Gu Yuyan frowned, casting a suspicious glance at Rong Qi, and asked, “Really? But just now, we seemed to hear some noise from outside.”
“Um, th-that might be because 1 was exercising and accidentally fell. It’s nothing serious, let’s get back to business, save time, I’m fine, just a minor issue.” Gu Ziye quickly changed the subject.
Gu Yuyan nodded, not pressing further. Although she suspected that Rong Qi was the one who hit him, she thought that Gu Ziye was agile enough to not be bullied by a weak woman. Perhaps he was just feeling upset and slapped himself.
Seeing that they stopped asking, Gu Ziye secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at Rong Qi, who was sitting on the table and said unkindly, “Let’s get down to business. What are you still doing here? Could you understand any of it?”
Rong Qi smiled and said, “What’s the matter? Am I an inconvenience to your discussion? If you’re going to discuss business, just do it. I don’t understand anyway. Are you afraid I’ll steal secrets?”
“You!” Gu Ziye swore that he had never seen such a shameless woman like Rong Qi.
Ye Nanshen’s eyes glimmered with a faint smile as he spoke, “Today is not the time for business talk. If Miss Gu really wants to cooperate, you can find Ziyu. He’s in charge of external affairs and negotiations.”
Gu Ziye was taken aback. He thought, ‘Why did Shen speak in such a hurtful manner? That’s my sister, why act like a stranger?*
Gu Yuyan also did not expect Ye Nanshen, whom she had known as a workaholic, to drop the case just because Gu Ziye wanted Rong Qi to leave.
Gu Yuyan’s expression stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile. “It’s okay. Since Miss Rong doesn’t understand, maybe she could wait at a side. It will take some time for us to talk. But, if you don’t mind, Miss Rong, you can wait over there. Maybe it will take a while, and you can eat while waiting..”
