On the way back to the villa, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel depressed. Everything that she had been preparing with her ambition seemed to have been disrupted by some invisible hand. Someone before her had seen Xiao Teng and pinched him a few times, scaring him quite badly. Then, whose technique was this?

This person was helping her, but Xia Yu didn't know who this person was.

Returning to the villa, Jung Ma came over and asked, "Miss, you're back. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"It's easier." Xia Yu said casually.

She raised her head and saw Gong Qin sitting on the sofa, seriously reading a document. Seeing him, Xia Yu's heart suddenly jumped. He subconsciously thought back to what Gong Qin had muttered at the door yesterday, that he was so deep in love and made a promise to her.

What would it be like if she saw him talk about it to his face?

Xia Yu could not help but become curious, and started staring at him more seriously.

Being stared at by a single person, Gong Qin's movements started to become stiff. Originally, he did not even look at the documents, but for some reason, the moment Xia Yu walked in, he panicked a little and subconsciously picked up the documents on the table. He pretended to be very busy, and now, even if he wanted to put down the documents, it was impossible for him to do so.

"Gong Qin..."

When Xia Yu spoke, she couldn't help but think, could it be that everything regarding Xiao Teng today was done by him?

If it was Gong Qin who did it, then everything could be explained clearly. Only Gong Qin had the ability to quickly find Xiao Teng.

"You …" She wanted to ask, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't say anything.

Gong Qin raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yu.

"What's wrong?" His eyes were somewhat cold as he asked this.

Xia Yu stared at Gong Qin, blinked his eyes, and finally waved his hand and said: "I'm fine."

The conversation quickly ended like this, and the two once again fell into silence. Xia Yu stood there for a while, but felt that it was boring and directly went upstairs. Only after she had gone upstairs and her figure had disappeared did Gong Qin put down the documents. He was a little depressed in his heart and could not help but throw the documents on the table.

"Sigh …" He sighed deeply.

Jung Ma coincidentally walked over at this time. Seeing this scene, she didn't know what happened to her Young Master, but her mood seemed to have fluctuated greatly recently. Could it be … Menopause?

Jung Ma's heart thumped.

"Young master..."

"Why?" Gong Qin asked snappily, his voice ice-cold.

"What's for dinner?"

"Whatever."

With the same answer, Gong Qin casually opened his mouth, and all he could think about was Xia Yu's expression just now. Had the relationship eased up? It's not as stalemate as yesterday, is it. How could he coax a woman? What should he do?

Just when he was troubled by the matter, the stairs sounded out with a stomp. Xia Yu revealed her head and said: "I'll be taking leave tomorrow!"

Gong Qin looked over, and coincidentally saw Xia Yu's eyes.

"I'm going with Cheng Cheng tomorrow to pick out clothes and prepare for my graduation trip."

Originally, she did not need to say this to Gong Qin. Although Gong Qin was the boss of the company, he did not have such broad jurisdiction over it.

Gong Qin was startled, but immediately realised, his mouth formed a smile, and his mood became bright.

"Sure."

… ….

The next day.

Xia Yu drove to pick up Gu Chengcheng and the two of them prepared to go shopping together. To a woman, shopping with an endless amount of credit cards seemed to be a kind of pleasure.

"Xia Yu!"

Gu Chengcheng waved his hand from upstairs. Coincidentally, he could see the distance between the two of them, "I'll go downstairs immediately, wait for me for a bit!" Gu Chengcheng shouted.

When Xia Yu saw Gu Chengcheng's figure, she quickly retracted it. However in the next moment, she bumped into those ice-cold pitch-black eyes. It was Nan Chengan, who looked over with a scrutinizing look. He was currently looking down at her, his half-lidded eyes cold and detached.

After confirming Xia Yu's identity, he then casually retracted his body.

Xia Yu's smile became stiff.

So … He was there.

… ….

At the door, when Gu Chengcheng prepared to leave, the house was quiet. Every time she returned to the apartment, she felt a sense of pressure. It was as if a rock was pressing down on her chest, causing her to be unable to breathe. It was as if she had felt this sensation since the last time.

It had started on the day she went out with Song Jingrui.

When she hurriedly returned, I had thought that Nan Chengan would scold her. I didn't expect him to only say this in a soft voice, "Let's go home, there's no following after that." He did not mention it, but he never forgot it, because from that day on, everything changed.

"I... I'm leaving. "

Gu Chengcheng carefully opened her mouth, but in front of Nan Chengan, she did not even dare to breathe loudly.

"Right."

Nan Chengan replied indifferently, without any expression on his face.

"I might be a bit late today …" Gu Chengcheng said again: "Don't come to pick me up tonight, Xia Yu will send me back, you don't have to worry!" She didn't want Nan Chengan to keep staring at her, so it felt a little strange like this.

Nan Chengan's gaze fell on her body without changing.

Gu Chengcheng gulped a mouthful of saliva down, then quickly turned and left in a hurry. After she closed the door, cutting off Nan Chengan's line of sight, her entire body relaxed. In a short moment, even her legs had softened. She didn't know why. He was actually so afraid of Nan Chengan.

It was as if she had done something that had let him down.

Gu Chengcheng took the elevator down, her face gloomy. It was only until she saw Xia Yu that she calmed down, revealed a happy expression, and waved.

"Let's go!"

Gu Chengcheng quickly got into Xia Yu's car and sat in the front passenger seat.

"Is the driver's license good?" she asked.

"It's not bad, it's a must. If you have the energy, you can get a driver's license. It will be much easier to buy a car." Xia Yu said.

"So that's how it is..." A peculiar expression flashed past Gu Chengcheng's eyes.

Xia Yu paused for a moment. She remembered that Gu Chengcheng had gotten a brand-new car at this time, and there was no need to think too much about it, that car must have been given to her by Nan Chengan. Nan Chengan doted on her to the extreme, giving her nearly all the benefits without letting her lose out to anyone.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Chengcheng's heart became even more tangled.

… ….

"Did you have a good time last time?" Xia Yu changed the topic and asked.

"Eh?" Gu Chengcheng was startled. "Oh … "We went to the concert last time, but we only saw half of it …" Her voice trailed off.
