Ye Wanqing's still breathing was stuck in his throat and he couldn't go down. His face was flushed red as he shook his head like a rattle.
Gu Jinyuan's expression turned slightly cold. He went past Ye Wanqing and directly entered the male restroom.
His heart felt like it was grabbed by a hand, causing Ye Wanqing to hold his breath, he focused and listened to everything that was happening inside, but Ruan Xi pulled her aside while gossiping: "All these years I have seen many women that want to get close to him, you can be considered special, do you want to consider following me? I can help you even if you want to. "
"Director Ruan, you misunderstand. I really only came to thank the Young Master Gu."
Ye Wanqing said politely as he quietly pulled away from Ruan Xi.
Seeing her small movements, Ruan Xi did not mind, but it was less playful and added a warning: "As the owner of the number one family in Li City, there are countless women who want to marry him, but you must understand, he is a man that you do not even have the qualifications to covet."
They didn't even have the right to covet it.
It was indeed like that. After all, she was just an illegitimate daughter, not even having a clean background. How could she step into the Gu family's gates?
"Director Ruan, don't worry. I know my own limits on this point. I have never coveted anything that doesn't belong to me."
Her eyes were clear and calm, to the point that Ruan Xi felt that these were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in his entire life.
She never coveted things that did not belong to her, so she did not covet Gu Jinyuan.
Ruan Xi's interest was piqued. Does this woman mean that she didn't intentionally attract Gu Jinyuan's attention, including what she did before?
This argument was not believable. After all, from the current situation, she had at least succeeded in making the man called Gu Jinyuan have a different impression of her compared to other women.
But Ruan Xi only laughed, and did not raise any suspicions towards Ye Wanqing's words.
The human heart was something that no one could say for sure.
At the same time, within the men's restroom, Gu Jinyuan stood in front of the washbasin with furrowed brows.
From the moment Ye Wanqing blocked him, he knew that this woman did not want him to come in. It was as if there was someone or something inside that he did not want him to discover.
According to common sense, he should have left immediately, because coming in represented investigation, knowledge, and understanding.
However, when he saw the woman secretly heave a sigh of relief, his body walked in before his mind.
So why did he want to know this woman?
This unfamiliar impulse and loss of control caused Gu Jinyuan to be very unhappy. This unhappiness had been plaguing him ever since Ye Wanqing had returned to the Li City.
After washing his face with cold water, he turned around and was about to leave when he heard a weak voice asking, "Is there anyone outside?"
The voice was probing and uncertain. It was very young, a child.
Gu Jinyuan did not answer and walked out. The child's voice once again transmitted over: "There's no paper inside, can you give me a piece of paper? My mommy is waiting for me outside. If I don't get out, she'll be worried. "
This time, his voice carried a hint of a sobbing tone, and had a nose that was not too obvious. His voice was pitifully tight, and for some reason, Gu Jinyuan thought of the expression on Gu Zhenmu's face when he was kicked by a pigeon in the kindergarten.
On his small, prim face was helplessness that he did not even know.
After pausing for two seconds, Gu Jinyuan picked up two pieces of paper and returned. He knocked on the door in the middle of the cubicle: "Are you here?"
Ye Chenlin who was sitting on the toilet seat suddenly lit up and loudly replied: "This is the place, big brother you are really a good person! Thank you big brother, just pass me the paper from under the door!"
Big brother, a good person.
It had been a long time since anyone had used those two words on him.
His brows relaxed for a rare moment, and the depression from before dissipated quite a bit.
After passing the paper over, a small, meaty hand took the paper from him. Then, with sincere praise, he said, "Big brother, your hand is so beautiful."
A talking child.
After making a mental judgement, Gu Jinyuan washed his hands of himself again and then walked out. As expected, he saw Ye Wanqing's nervous expression, but Gu Jinyuan did not bother with it.
He had already put too much thought into this woman, this was not logical.
Just as Gu Jinyuan was about to go through the corridor and return to his own room, Ye Chenlin ran out from the toilet and shouted loudly, "Mommy!"
