If the atmosphere in the office had been awkward before, then it was now tense.

The father stared at Gu Tong coldly, then wrote all of the dissatisfaction on his face.

Gu Tong felt indignant in her heart. She wanted to explain herself, but she was worried that it would affect Si Yicheng, so she didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Just as Gu Tong was hesitating as to whether she should swallow this or not, Si Yichen suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed onto her knee.

Considering that there was also her father who was against her, Gu Tong didn't want to make the relationship between them even more awkward, so she struggled silently.

However, Si Yicheng had used a great deal of strength. She was simply unable to break free.

"Take back your nasty words, Gu Tong and I have known each other since we were young. I know she's not a vain woman."

Just as Gu Tong was about to open her mouth and speak to Si Yicheng in a low voice, Si Yichen suddenly beside her, confidently said this to her father.

"Si …"

Gu Tong reflexively tried to stop him, but when she subconsciously saw the gloomy expression on her father's face, she knew it was already too late. It was already too late for her to say anything.

She could only hold her breath and wait for her father's next reaction. At the same time, she prayed in her heart that she wouldn't get too excited.

"Take care of yourself."

In the end, under Gu Tong's anxious waiting, her father angrily stood up and left.

He went as he had come, swift, swift, imposing.

Although he and Gu Tong hadn't spoken much to each other throughout the entire process, Gu Tong could already guess from his demeanor and attitude that their emotional road would be difficult.

Sigh!

Gu Tong sighed for her feelings in her heart and curled her lips subconsciously.

"What's wrong?"

Beside her, Si Yichen seemed to have heard the voice from the bottom of her heart. He immediately asked nervously.

Gu Tong curled the corner of her mouth and revealed a fake smile, pretending to be relaxed as she said, "I'm fine. It's just that I feel a little tired after listening to all of you talk about your matters for so long."

"Since I'm tired, should I go to the lounge to sleep for a while?"

Si Yicheng pointed to the small lounge in his office and took the initiative to invite Lin Ming.

However, Gu Tong shook her head, "No need, I'll be fine after a rest. I just got up not long ago and can't fall asleep."

Si Yicheng also felt that Gu Tong's words made sense, so he didn't press the matter. He only asked her to relax and do whatever she wanted.

"Got it. Stop blabbering and get back to work!" Didn't you say that there's a lot of work to be done today? "

Gu Tong couldn't stand Si Yicheng's nagging and impatiently urged him on.

But the truth was, she was worried that if she heard too much of Si Yicheng's good words, she would be even more worried that she would be in trouble in the future and that she would be separated from him in the future.

People are like this sometimes. The more you care, the more afraid you are of losing them.

Si Yicheng wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and then concentrate on accompanying Gu Tong. Thus, he no longer bothered with Gu Tong and reluctantly sat down at his desk.

Gu Tong silently smiled at him and then took out her phone to pass the time.

She didn't see a single word of the contents on the phone. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her and Si Yicheng's future.

The conditions between our two families are so different. Do we really have a future?

Will my relationship with him be able to endure the hardships that follow?

After that short period of time with her father, Gu Tong, who had just experienced the sweet taste of love, was gradually left with only worry and bitterness in her heart.

Without realizing it, her gaze moved from her phone to the busy Si Yicheng.

Would I be willing to let go of such a good man?

What would I do if one day he was not with me and he had other women around him?

Gu Tong couldn't help but to start planning for the worst.

Although their relationship had just started, there were some things that seemed to have penetrated into Gu Tong's heart. Thinking of these two possibilities, Gu Tong felt as if her heart was being viciously pained time and time again …

Perhaps … Maybe I was like him, unwittingly deep in love a few years ago, maybe even eight years ago.

As she felt her feelings for Si Yicheng, Gu Tong suddenly wasn't sure when she had fallen in love with him.

Perhaps it was because Gu Tong had been paying too much attention to him, but Si Yicheng, who had been busy with his work, suddenly looked in her direction.

Everything happened too quickly. Before Gu Tong could even conceal the sorrow in her eyes, she had already started hugging Si Yicheng in the air.

Gu Tong was stunned for a moment. She quickly covered up the bad news and revealed a flustered smile.

She thought that her clumsy acting wouldn't be able to fool Si Yichen's eyes. She didn't expect that Si Yicheng would only smile at her and didn't say too much.

Phew...

Seeing that Si Yicheng had lowered his head again, Gu Tong secretly let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, she withdrew her gaze, not daring to look any further.

She could not guarantee that she would have such luck next time.

In order to prevent herself from accidentally making any more mistakes, she put down her cell phone and went to the large French windows. She looked out at the blue sky and white clouds and the tall buildings.

If only everything could remain like this.

Her thoughts could not help but think of some bad things, and she gradually began to be shrouded in sadness.

When she was immersed in her own world, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands on her waist, and then she fell into a familiar embrace little by little.

"I'm fine by myself. Go and take care of the proper business."

Gu Tong patted her hands as she spoke.

"It's done."

As he spoke, he slowly turned Gu Tong to face him.

"It's so boring here, let's go out and take a look."

Si Yichen hugged Gu Tong in his arms, his tone full of complaint as he suggested.

However, when Gu Tong heard this, she immediately felt that he must have been indulging her. Therefore, she shook her head and refused, "I don't want to go out. I just want to rest here. So, it's better for you to behave yourself."

As she spoke, Gu Tong took the initiative to withdraw from Si Yicheng's arms.

However, just as Si Yichen was letting her go, he pulled her away and said, "I brought you here. Now I want to take you out, you can't refuse."

Having said so, Si Yicheng actually brought her to the door.
