Black Lotus

Wen Niannan barely slept that night, and he woke up early to help Aunt Lan with the dishes. Soon after he settled down, the two that were upstairs also walked down.

Gu Yansheng looked at Wen Niannan who was eating. After coming out of Luoan’s room last night, his head started hurting from drinking too much, so he took a cold shower to wake himself up.

When he walked past the guest room, he saw the light in there was still open, and perhaps the person in there was either not asleep or was scared of the dark.

Seeing Gu Yansheng’s worried glance at Wen Niannan, Shen Luoan felt jealous. He held onto Gu Yansheng’s hand and said, “Yansheng, I slept too late yesterday and didn’t have a good rest. I want to go to your office later today and sleep there.”

Gu Yansheng didn’t notice what his words truly meant, so he just thought he came back too late yesterday from the restaurant, “Alright, sorry about that yesterday.”

Hearing the two talking to each other like a good couple, Wen Niannan’s body became stiff, his hands holding the silverware were shaking, and he was having a hard time swallowing the food in his mouth.

Gu Yansheng quickly finished eating and his eyes unintentionally looked at Wen Niannan with his head lowered and not speaking. Only after Shen Luoan finished eating, Gu Yansheng stood up and left the dining table.

After the two left, Wen Niannan also put down the tableware in his hand.

“All this person knows is how to seduce Mr. Gu, so shameless. I can’t believe that Mr. Gu even brought him home,” Aunt Lan couldn’t stand it anymore and said with unease on behalf of Wen Niannan.

“He is reminding me, that I am no more than someone that can be abandoned by him at any time.”

If it were not for Gu Yansheng’s mother who insisted on keeping him, the divorcement probably would’ve happened already. There is no way for him to compete with Gu Yansheng…

“How’s the preparation for the birthday party?”

“It’s almost done. Just like before, the old mother has already made the arrangements, so there’s nothing much for us to worry about.”

As soon as Gu Yansheng arrived at the company building, the front desk staff informed him that someone was waiting for him in his office, which made him wonder who could successfully walk into his office with Xiao Li here.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhou Yuanfeng sitting at the desk viewing some documents.

“Zhou Yuanfeng, what do you think you are doing? Should I be calling your President Zhou now?”

Zhou Yuanfeng said faintly, “Almost! If you continue your idiotic behavior, your mother is going to hand over the company to me sooner or later.”

“Oh maybe not. My mother just likes you more when you are young, more than her own son.”

Since the two families had long-term relationships, they were friends since very young. Zhou Yuanfeng worked in the Fu Family Cooperation since he graduated from college, and became Gu Yansheng’s most trusted man.

“How long will you stay here this time?”

“Until next week. After your birthday, I still have to go to take a look at a few companies that we are investing in. I’ll leave after that.”

“My mother told you to do so?”

“Yeah, the Pingle Group that you worked with last time is selected by Mrs. Lu as well.”

Gu Yansheng leaned on his desk and said questioningly, “What happened to the Pingle Group last time? The cooperative project is perfectly normal, so why did she suddenly tell me to take care of it? She knows that I’m not the best at it.”

Zhou Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and said uncomfortably, “That Pingle Group guy’s disgusting eyes make me very uncomfortable. I’m afraid I will be unable to control my temper and beat him into the hospital.”

Then he thought of something and said, “I probably will attend your birthday party the day after tomorrow. You’d better pray that I won’t beat him up on the spot.”
