Are you concerned about me?

Right now, it was already the evening. Although Qin Ran had been given a day's leave by Gu Lingfeng, he didn't waste any time. From a certain perspective, today was still a full day. Qin Ran felt both physically and mentally exhausted. He wanted to go home and lie down on the bed as soon as possible. For someone like him who usually immersed himself in his work, the best way to rest was to go to bed.

Qin Ran took the bus home and happened to overhear people talking about Gu Lingfeng and Old Man Gu. Qin Ran's interest was immediately piqued, and as he listened carefully, he realized that it was exactly what had just happened. Qin Ran cursed in her heart. She took out her phone to see what was going on, but found that her phone was out of battery. She could only hope to get home quickly.

When Qin Ran slowly opened the notebook and read the comments and conjectures online, she almost went crazy with anger. It was clearly her fault, everyone blamed Gu Lingfeng and slandered Gu Lingfeng for wanting to take over the Gu family's property.

When Qin Ran saw this, he was so excited that he wanted to smash the computer. He wanted to jump out and tell everyone that she was the one who caused all of this. However, when the mouse really arrived at the comment section, he realized that he didn't know where to start. Even if she said that others would believe her, would she be able to move the public opinion in such a direction by herself?

It was unknown whether Gu Lingfeng had seen the news or not, but Qin Ran turned off the computer in a very dejected manner and lay back down on the bed. He gradually fell asleep amidst his messy thoughts.

The next day, Qin Ran woke up early. If the news of Old Man Gu's illness got out, it would probably affect the Gu family greatly. Plus, she must have had a lot of problems at work yesterday, so she had to go to the company as soon as possible to make up for it.

When they arrived at the entrance of the company, Qin Ran was surprised to discover that there were many reporters gathered around the main entrance of the Gu Clan Group, holding microphones and cameras. It seemed that they were all there to wait for Gu Lingfeng.

What Qin Ran absolutely didn't expect was that not long after the news was released yesterday, these reporters had actually come to the Gu family's residence to stand guard. However, Gu Lingfeng had been staying in the hospital, waiting for Old Man Gu to wake up, and hadn't come to the Gu family, so this group of people hadn't arrived. They even stayed at the hospital for the night shift, changing their positions during the night shift for the sake of Gu Lingfeng and the news manuscript.

He knew that Gu Lingfeng had not come to the Gu family last night, but today was different. There were many things waiting for him in the company to deal with, and he would definitely come, but like her, Gu Lingfeng did not know that there were so many reporters guarding this place. If they walked through the main entrance, it would be too difficult for them to even enter the company.

For some reason, Qin Ran subconsciously called Gu Lingfeng. When the beep beep beep sounded from the phone, Qin Ran looked at the three big words Gu Lingfeng on the phone screen and suddenly regretted it. How did she think of calling him? Gu Lingfeng's life or death obviously had nothing to do with her, except for her salary.

He had clearly been unhappy yesterday, but now that he saw some reporters, he couldn't wait to call them to remind them that she was not a scumbag, Qin Ran saw that the phone had only rung a few times, and the call hadn't been connected yet, so he was ready to hang up.

Just as his hand touched the screen and was about to hit the "hang up" button, the screen suddenly changed its direction. Right as his hand touched the screen and was about to click the "hang up" button, the screen suddenly changed its direction. Gu Lingfeng on the other end picked up the phone and Qin Ran's extended hand pressed on the "free" button. Qin Ran quickly removed the hands-free and placed the phone beside his ear. He didn't know what to say.

After waiting for a few seconds, Qin Ran still did not reply, and Gu Lingfeng directly said, "If you have something you want to tell me, or if you want to see me, I'm on my way to the company. I still have about ten minutes or so left, and it's not convenient to speak about it now, so I'll tell you face to face later."

When he heard that Gu Lingfeng would be arriving at the company in ten minutes, Qin Ran thought to himself, since the phone call was already connected, he couldn't afford to waste his own phone bill. He said, "When you come to the company later, go to the underground parking lot and take the CEO's private elevator to your office. There are a lot of reporters blocking the entrance to the company." Not a word of nonsense.

From the looks of it, Qin Ran had already arrived at the company, and was afraid that he would be pestered by the reporters later on, so he came to call to remind him. Fortunately, the quarrel yesterday didn't have any effect on their relationship.

"Are you concerned about me?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Lingfeng's male voice was filled with charm and magnetism. Qin Ran could tell that Gu Lingfeng seemed to be in a good mood. She pursed her lips, she shouldn't have called him! Qin Ran could not find the right words to reply. He hung up the phone and decided to have some breakfast around the company. It was still early in the morning.

A few minutes later, Qin Ran quickly finished off the two steamed buns and was about to enter the company when he noticed Gu Lingfeng driving his car over.

How could he be so fast? Didn't they say that there were still ten minutes? Qin Ran was puzzled, but he immediately realized that this was not the time to be surprised. She had clearly told Gu Lingfeng not to go through the main entrance, so why was Gu Lingfeng still driving his car here so openly?

The car stopped in front of the traffic lights. Gu Lingfeng seemed to have noticed Qin Ran standing on the other side of the road. The window of the car rolled down a third of the way. Gu Lingfeng gently smiled. Being cared for by others was a good feeling, even though Qin Ran seemed to think too little of him. It was just a group of reporters, he had no reason to avoid them.

The windows rolled up at an average speed, and the traffic lights changed color. Qin Ran watched helplessly as Gu Lingfeng drove towards them, all the way to the entrance of the company.

Upon seeing Gu Lingfeng's car arrive, the group of fanatical reporters swarmed over, wanting to stop the car with their own bodies. Gu Lingfeng's car drove to the side of the road and stopped moving, the reporters rushed to stick to the car, pressed the microphones against the door and asked about some matters. The cameramen followed behind the reporters and raised their cameras, wanting to capture the scene of Gu Lingfeng in a circle around the car.

Qin Ran took out a spare hat and mask that he had specially prepared from his bag and brought them with him, and squeezed into the crowd. He wanted to know how Gu Lingfeng would respond to such a scene, since he dared not to listen to her advice to come here.
