Chapter 10: Gu Yichan is Back
d bottom floors for me, let's see where Gu Yichen can live.”"Just in case, and I mean just in case, if Gu Yichen lived across from Miss Lin, then we would be at a huge disadvantage."Ji Xiangru's assis...It's still the face from my memory, but compared to the youthful innocence and delicacy of her student days, her features are more defined, and her brows carry a touch more maturity.
But on her face, there was no longer the tenderness she yearned for, only indifference.
He was listening to his subordinates' reports, nodding occasionally and giving a few simple instructions.
And his gaze, which had never once looked at the woman beside him, went straight into the editor-in-chief's office amidst the crowd's attention.
Su Ke Xin's face paled a few shades.
Why is Gu Yichen back How could he possibly be back…
Back then, he left so resolutely, without even saying goodbye. Now, why is he back
It had been two years, she had more or less come to terms with it, but his appearance still hit her like a tidal wave, knocking her down all at once.
Just now, as they brushed past each other, she wasn't sure if he recognized her just like she recognized him.
At this thought, Su Keqin suddenly smirked wryly.
So what if you recognize it, and so what if you don't
He and she, destined to never return……
The next day, Su Kexin was on edge the whole time, afraid that Gu Yichen would recognize her.
As it turned out, she seemed to have misread the situation.
As soon as Gu Yichan took office, he immediately held several meetings to discuss personnel and the magazine's positioning, making some adjustments.
During the meeting, he had been attentively listening to each editor's report, occasionally giving simple instructions. Throughout the entire meeting, it seemed as if he hadn't noticed Su Kexin at the end of the conference table.
It seems he has already forgotten her.
Think about it, if she had something worth remembering, he wouldn't have left two years ago without a word, and wouldn't have disappeared completely.
Finally, it was time to clock out. Su Ke Xin didn't want to spend another second in the office. She immediately grabbed her bag and headed for the exit.
"Unwillingly, just at that moment, her editor suddenly called out to her."
"Hold on, Su KeXin, please deliver this report to Mr. Gu and give him a brief update."
Su Keqin's body stiffened instantly, turning awkwardly, "Editor-in-chief, I have an urgent family matter today, could I possibly…"
Editor-in-Chief Chiang Lili was already in a bad mood today because her performance at the meeting hadn't been as good as the editor-in-chief of the neighboring group. Hearing Su Kexin's refusal, her face immediately fell. "Su Kexin, after doing one popular interview, do you think your wings are getting hard"
Jiang Lili's words were always so direct, Su Ke Xin's face turned pale, she didn't know what to say anymore, she could only say: "Don't joke around, editor-in-chief, I'll go right now."
Taking the materials to Gu Yichen's office door, Su Keixin took several deep breaths before finally raising her hand.
Knock knock knock.
But even just knocking seemed to have drained her of all her energy.
"Come in."
Su KeXin pushed the door open as soon as she heard Gu Yihan's familiar voice from inside.
Gu Yichen's office, though lacking Gu Chi's extravagance, was also exquisitely decorated. He sat behind his desk, flipping through the current issue of the magazine that interviewed Gu Chi in his hands.
"General Su," Su Keqin spoke, trying to make her voice sound very steady. "Regarding this interview with Chairman Chi Yan, Chief Editor Jiang asked me to give you a brief report."
Gu Yichan didn't even raise his head, he just grunted, "Hmm," so Su Ke Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and start her report.
After finishing the report, Gu Yichan still had no reaction at all. However, Su Keqin was already finding it difficult to bear.
"That..." She tried to suppress the tremor in her voice, "Editor-in-Chief, if you have nothing else, I'll be going."
Having said that, she quickly turned around and wanted to leave.
Just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob, a powerful force suddenly grabbed her hand.
His long gaze fell upon the ring on her nameless finger: "Are you married"
Su Ke Xin had no courage to look into his eyes, she only turned away her face and nodded.
Gu Yichen stared intently at her ring, his eyes swirling with emotion.
Suddenly, a mocking curve played on the corner of his mouth.
"Su Ke Xin, after all that effort, the man you painstakingly chose can only buy you such an ordinary diamond ring" Thinking of something, his eyes showed obvious disgust: "But it's also true, a woman who would sell her body for money is probably easy to deceive with a little spending."
Su Keqin was struck dumb, her face paling as if struck by lightning.
"You...do you know what happened two years ago" Su Kexin stammered, struggling to get the words out.
"Hmm." At the sight of Su Kexin, Gu Yichen didn't deny it. He inexplicably felt a dull pain in his heart.
He tightened his grip on Su Keixin's wrist, his voice colder than ever, "Yes, I know, and I found out two years ago. Su Keixin, I really should thank you. It's because knowing that the woman I loved for three years and spoiled for three years is such a dirty thing, that I finally made up my mind to study abroad in America."
Su Ke Xin's last trace of blood drained from her face.
It had been two whole years… She had thought about it countless times, why he had suddenly gone abroad to study when she was at her most vulnerable and in need of Gu Yichen’s support two years ago.
And now, she finally knew.
It was also because of that incident.
She also found it strange. Two years ago, Gu Yichan had clearly left for abroad before the incident became a big deal. Could it be that he already knew about it before things blew up
But how could that be...
But now obviously it's not the time to dwell on these things, Su Kexin's face was pale from being pinched, but she still struggled and said, "Gu Yichen, two years ago was just a misunderstanding. Actually, I—"n his face as there had been moments ago.Looking at Zhao Yino's cunning eyes, Gu Wang knew he had been tricked. He knew he would definitely agree to her request."I was actually outsmarted by this litt...
