Because of all that had happened previously, Gu Tong felt that Xiang Yinghao was acting rather strangely, so she wanted to keep a distance from him.

Now that she knew about his design skills, Gu Tong couldn't help but want to get close to him and learn some useful moves and experiences from him.

A man who was talented and a gentleman, even if he was a little careful, he wouldn't be bad, right?

Gu Tong asked herself in her heart, but the answer was already clear. When she saw Xiang Yinghao pull out a chair for her, taking the initiative to pass the menu in front of her and also placing some light tasting dishes in front of her, Gu Tong was unable to restrain herself from having a favorable impression of him rise in her heart.

Gu Tong had never told Xiang Yinghao before that she liked eating light things and did not like eating heavy things. She understood very clearly in her heart that the reason why Xiang Yinghao knew this was because she had observed him previously.

Doesn't that woman like such a meticulous and courteous man?

However, this love and goodwill was only that of a friend and not a single emotion between a man and a woman. Gu Tong's heart was still only filled with Si Yichen.

In fact, Xiang Yinghao didn't actually do anything too excessive to Gu Tong, and he even treated her quite well. The reason why Gu Tong had been a little disgusted with him was because when they were travelling, he would always appear before Gu Tong and Si Yichen, disturbing their world.

Especially since Xiang Yinghao had also brought along Chang Shi, Gu Tong had become increasingly disliked him, and her dissatisfaction with Chang Shi had affected Xiang Yinghao a little.

Now that she was back, Xiang Yinghao didn't disturb Gu Tong's life. He only appeared when it was necessary, and Gu Tong's aversion towards her gradually lessened.

Today, they had gotten along with each other in harmony again. All of the antipathy was completely gone. Only mutual understanding was left.

"CEO Xiang, although today's lunch is very delicious and we chatted happily, I really can't stay here any longer. I'm going back to work at the company."

Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Tong suggested leaving.

Xiang Yinghao was her boss. How could he not know when she would be working?

Seeing her so eager to go back to work, there was no reason to refuse. She immediately waved the waiter over to pay the bill and prepared to leave with Gu Tong.

While Xiang Yinghao was paying the bill, Gu Tong felt bored, so she looked around her surroundings, hoping to get more information on the situation here. In the future, she would bring Si Yichen here for a taste.

There were a few dishes that he had just eaten, and Gu Tong felt that they were very much in line with Si Yicheng's taste.

As a result, there were times when it was such a coincidence. Just as Gu Tong thought of Si Yichen, he caught off guard and appeared in her line of sight.

Through the dining hall's window, he saw the handsome figure of Si Yicheng walking out of the driver's seat. A smile immediately appeared on Gu Tong's face and her body involuntarily stood up, wanting to talk to Si Yicheng.

He had already disappeared before Gu Tong had woken up, and Gu Tong had already gone to sleep. He still hadn't come back, and it had been a long time since Gu Tong had had a good talk with him. It was a rare day for them to meet today, so Gu Tong wanted to seize this opportunity.

However, just as she took a step forward, she was shocked by what happened next.

After coming out of the driver's seat, Si Yicheng didn't immediately leave the side of the car. Instead, he went around to the passenger side and opened the door. Gu Tong saw a woman around her own age, but with charm that was even more beautiful, slowly walk out.

Although it was a bit far, and even though Gu Tong didn't want to admit it, when she first saw the woman, she felt that she was more refined and beautiful than she was!

Why would he be here with a woman at this time?

Could it be that he was here to eat as well? Is that woman just a client of his company?

Although he had already thought of many bad possibilities, Gu Tong still forced him to go to the best of her abilities and think about them. She absolutely must not wrongly accuse Si Yicheng.

However, just as she was trying her best to calm down, she saw that Si Yicheng and that woman were not in her restaurant. Instead, they were in the building across the road!

Most importantly, that building was a hotel!

A man and a woman entered the hotel in an intimate manner!

This simple and straightforward sentence exploded in Gu Tong's mind. She felt like her whole body was swaying and her legs had gone weak.

With such a scene in front of her eyes, she really didn't know what else to say to comfort herself.

"What's the matter with you?"

Just as Gu Tong collapsed powerlessly back onto her chair, Xiang Yinghao's concerned voice rang out.

Gu Tong bit her lips as she stared at the back view of Si Yicheng and that woman, completely ignoring Xiang Yinghao's question.

Xiang Yinghao instantly noticed the important part and immediately looked in the direction Gu Tong was looking.

"Isn't that the Director?" "Why is he …" Looking at the disappearing figure of Si Yicheng, Xiang Yinghao mumbled to himself in puzzlement, but stopped halfway through his words.

Then, he bent down and said to Gu Tong, "Gu Tong, don't think too much. It's okay for a man and woman to go to a hotel, maybe …" "Maybe she's just going to a hotel to eat, or maybe that woman is a customer of the Si family and happens to be staying in this hotel. That's why Young Master Si drove her back …"

Gu Tong had heard every single word that Xiang Yinghao had said to comfort her. However, she had not been able to hear them. In fact, the more Xiang Yinghao spoke, the more she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

He already had a fiancee, so if he went to eat with another woman, he couldn't avoid suspicion and go to a more formal restaurant? A hotel that you have to go to?

It's just a customer of a company, is there a need to trouble him or her to personally send it? Doesn't the company have a driver? No one else? Won't he lose face like this? Was this still that arrogant Si Yichen?

In her heart, Gu Tong refuted Xiang Yinghao's words one by one. However, she did not utter a single word, only looking expressionlessly at the inn's entrance.

It was only a few minutes later that she did not see Si Yichen emerge from within. Only then did she stand up, turning pale as she said to Xiang Yinghao, "Director Xiang, I suddenly feel unwell. I wish to request for a half-day leave of absence."

"Good!" Do you want me to send you off? "

"No need, I can do it myself."

Gu Tong firmly rejected Xiang Yinghao's suggestion. She then walked leisurely towards the main entrance, her steps faltering as she walked in. She was no longer as calm as she had been when she had entered.
