Su Xi did not understand what he meant. But somewhere, she could understand the fear inside him. She isn't legally bound by him. He doesn't have that much trust over her, the amount of trust Ye Huo showed in her.

It was understandable that they both were two different people, despite having the same body and mind.

There. emotions are different and she would be wrong to believe that Gu Yan trusts her all of the sudden.

But she wasn't sure herself about this question. Su Xi bit her lower lips in hesitation and Gu Yan only observed her facial expressions. She was acting weirdly and Gu Yan understood that his question confused her.

To clear out the meaning more, he once again spoke, "Su Xi, you are in love with me for so many years. From my side, I know that you don't have any feelings for that person but you can't guarantee that the other side doesn't have something in their heart too."

Su Xi loomed at him with her wide eyes as she heard his words. Today itself, they were on the verge of being so close, despite they both having consumed alcohol.

To stop it, Su Xi had stepped back and left his home early, and she knew that Chen Juan read the meaning behind her actions very well. But at the same time, she was thankful that he did not react in any manner which makes her guilty or disturbs their friendship as well.

"Gu Yan, I can only tell you about myself. It is not in my hand to know if someone likes me or not." She clearly put forward her mindset.

"I know that it is not in your hand at all. But somewhere, I feel that you should stay careful. You don't want anyone to fall deeply for you and in the end, he is left heartbroken, right?"

Gu Yan doesn't object to her friendship with that guy, but he will always make sure that no one dares to court his own. Because for him, Su Xi is someone of utmost importance and he doesn't like to share his things and people.

"Gu Yan, I think we shouldn't talk about it anymore. You are already aware that it is not going to help any of us. Right? Chen Juan and I are simply good friends and nothing else doesn't think something is wrong from now onwards." Gu Yan stayed silent.

He changed the topic back to Yeh Nian's upcoming birthday this weekend.

Su Xi also did not drag the conversation too long on that matter and simply let it go because she was more excited than her mother-child will soon turn eighteen and will be an adult

They discussed the event they have planned for there, and it was going to be a surprise for her. But one thing, Gu Yan's eyes did not miss how much Su Xi cared for her children. She knew each minor detail about her children's likes and dislikes, a typical mom who lives for her children.

'I wish that one day, I can see this every day and we live as one family.' He was deeply carved for that to arrive in his life but for now, he has more important matters to deal with.

Gu Yan took his leave, after giving him relaxation that Su Xi is back in her room safely and he has nothing to worry about, at least for the night.

But he has something else to deal with in the early morning. 

…

In Gu Yan's office. 

Shi Yu was sitting in front of Gu Yan and reading some of the important files. As he recently entered into the business world, Gu Yan was acting as his mentor in everything so that in later years, Shi company and Gu company be in an alliance, as well as, Su company will also cooperate with them.

The most powerful families coming together will create a lot of chaos, but there was still time.

At least, it will happen soon making the three the biggest cooperation and companies of the state. Along with it, they will surely have influence from outside the state, all thanks to the Gu family's influence.

"Gu Yan, I think we should not invest in that company. It is destroying day by day and there are not many chances that it will recover. I have studied its stats as well and there is no scope." Shi Yu explained.

"But in contrast, you didn't see that the people inside the company are really efficient? It is just the owner of the company who doesn't know how to run his business otherwise, the company has many resources and the best labor as employees. They are really talented." Gu Yan looked at the point in a different manner.

"I feel that the employers can be transferred into our companies. You see, we can offer them a double package." 

"But with it, we need to have those resources as well. We can exploit the resources of that company, use their employees on our method and the gain will be ours. I think that we will take more than what we are investing." Gu Yan has a totally different outlook and Shi Ye can't agree anymore.

He needed proof to see this and to clear his doubt, Gu Yan showed him what he has studied and made him understand how they will make a profit by investing in that particular company.

As time passed, Shi Yu understood why Gu Yan is so famous for being like this. He did not even imagine Gu Yan to see the matter through different eyes and this made him realize that he has many things to learn from this guy, at least in the business field if not in family and personal matters.

But soon, they both were disturbed by the knock-on Gu Yan's cabin. "Sir, may I come in?" this was none other than Gu Yan's secretary.

"Yeah please do." as the lady entered, she was surprised to find Mr. Shi sitting here as well. 'Why is there always? What relations do they both share?' Many of the people had this question in their minds but never dared to raise it. Instead, they all passed them a respectful smile and turned back to Gu Yan.

"Sir, there is a person who's asking you. He is saying that you are the one who asked to meet you." 

Gu Yan's face did not change as he sat on the armchair in a relaxed manner as if he didn't care about the person who came to visit him.

"Who is that person? Any specific name?" 

"He is telling himself to be Chen Juan. I tried saying that he doesn't have an appointment with you but he said that you were the one who called him here to meet." 

While Gu Yan did not react much to this, Shi Yu had totally different expressions on his face. He was surprised by hearing the name of the person because, as far as his knowledge goes, isn't he the same person, with whom Gu Yan accused Su Xi of having an affair?

What can he do here?

And why will Gu Yan call that person to meet them?

"Hm... I was the one who called him. Send him into my cabin directly." 

"Sure, sir." The secretary left, but Shi Yu Wasn't able to digest the information too easily.

"Why the hell have you called that person? Don't do anything stupid Gu yan, otherwise, Su Xi will have to suffer from it. And I think you don't want her to hate you now, right?" Shi Yu can't help but warn him once.

He knew that Gu Yan has some special love to call that person here. It is impossible for him to talk to Chen Juan without any ulterior motive.

Gu Yan smiled seeing Sh Yu acting like this and replacing him in a calm manner, "You don't have to worry about anything. I know how to handle this matter very well. Instead, focus on the investment first."

"I can do whatever I wish to do. instead should be careful with your words and don't' reveal anything that isn't required. That person is a crime branch officer and his patience and calmness level might be way above then you.'' Saying, Shi Yu stood up for his seat and opened the door of the cabin to walk out of Chen Juan This way.

"It is nice to see you, Chen Juan. Gu Yan is waiting for you inside his office." Shi Yu spoke to Chen Juan who was quite surprised. He wasn't aware of the reason to be called here by such a big person out of where.

But at last, Chen Juan passed in a slight smile and entered the cabin and found the person, sitting on the desk's chair with a kin aura around him.

His eyes were simply glued on other screens in front of him, not even sparing a single glance at Chen Juan who just stepped inside. 

"Mr. Gu, you called me last night and without telling me anything and just simply asked to meet you, I would come to the direct question. Why did you call me here? What do you want from me?"
