Free Web NovelChapter 702: Dao An’s Secret (2)
As he frowned, Gu Yuan also realized something was happening.
She glanced at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu signaled her to look at the rearview mirror with his eyes.
Gu Yuan lowered the car window, casting a sideways glance at the outside rearview mirror on her side.
Two cars were following them.
Gu Yuan’s heart tightened slightly, and she instinctively looked at Chi Yu after withdrawing her gaze.
Hotel-trained bodyguards, two black cars closely following...
Gu Yuan knew well that Qin Bing wouldn’t be so brazen in M Country, daring to follow even her and Chi Yu’s car? Offending the Gu Family might not mean much to him, but would he really have the guts to offend the Quan Family?
But excluding Qin Bing, the only remaining possibility is Dao An!
This is just speculation, and if it’s not Dao An either, having no clue under such circumstances is true danger.
Chi Yu’s hand crossed the central armrest box and covered the back of Gu Yuan’s hand, silently giving her a reassuring look, indicating for her to relax and not think too much.
Gu Yuan reversed her hand and interlocked her fingers with his.
It’s only a ten-minute drive to the destination.
Not a café or a restaurant, but Fifth Avenue, Wall Street, Empire State Building.
In the car, Gu Yuan briefly explained the situation to Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi didn’t react much after listening, and as Gu Yuan was about to get out of the car, her hand, clutching the hem, had already wrinkled it into a sight of unbearable creases. As the car door opened, Sheng Yi suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Yuanyuan, we’re going back to the country tomorrow, and after this, I don’t know if it’ll be years or decades before I see Dao An again. Honestly, I really want to see him one more time."
Inside, Sheng Yi was desperately longing to see Dao An.
But she dared not show it. If she did, she’d despise herself.
But with the thought that they are returning to the country tomorrow, and it’s very likely she’ll not see Dao An for years or even decades, her heart felt particularly heavy. She thought, setting aside those thoughts, she still genuinely wanted to bid farewell to Dao An earnestly.
Gu Yuan felt overwhelmingly compassionate.
She really wanted to bring Sheng Yi along, but who knows what Dao An might say during this meeting.
If it’s good news, naturally it’s good.
But what if it’s... bad?
Rationality made her brain exceptionally clear.
She must first explore Dao An’s intentions.
"Yiyi, there are some work-related matters that I really can’t bring you along. You stay in the car and wait for me for those ten minutes, Chi Yu will protect you well, and don’t worry, there will be absolutely no danger." After speaking, Gu Yuan glanced at her watch, having already delayed quite a bit of time.
She was a punctual person and couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
Fortunately, Sheng Yi didn’t stubbornly insist on going inside, and Gu Yuan opened the car door and got out. Before closing the door, she gave Chi Yu a look, and Chi Yu replied to Gu Yuan with a phrase, "Don’t worry, darling, even if I lose a few hairs, she’ll come out unscathed."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan didn’t know whether to be mad or to laugh: "Can’t you say something nicer?"
Chi Yu: "Then you should come out quickly."
Beside them, Sheng Yi, gagged with ’dog food’: "..."
She’s truly had enough of this life where she’s constantly being fed ’dog food’.
...
It was Gu Yuan’s first time entering the Empire State Building.
Dao An sent Cheng Xuan down to meet her and escort her upstairs.
Cheng Xuan, dispatched to greet Gu Yuan, was extremely curious about her. But when she heard Ann referring to her as President Gu, Cheng Xuan’s curious little heart was profoundly shocked.
It turns out it was from Ann’s previous female boss at her company in the country.
So the entire process of Cheng Xuan coming down to meet Gu Yuan was treated with great seriousness, with undisguisable admiration in her eyes.
In the office, Gu Yuan learned from Cheng Xuan that Dao An had temporarily gone to the conference room and would be back in a few minutes.
Cheng Xuan diligently asked, "President Gu, would you like something to drink?"
The drinks mostly consisted of coffee, but Gu Yuan didn’t feel like having coffee.
For some reason lately, she’s not been very interested in coffee and prefers drinking fruit tea.
After thinking for a moment, she opted for a cup of fruit tea.
When Cheng Xuan went out, she almost bumped into Jane coming in at the door.
As a junior secretary, Cheng Xuan naturally didn’t know the exact relationship between the boss and Miss Jane. All she knew was Jane often proactively sought the boss, and even though the boss sometimes clearly rejected Miss Jane, sometimes his attitude towards Jane’s enthusiasm was ambiguous.
Unable to grasp it correctly, Cheng Xuan could only improvise whenever she saw Jane.
"Is Ann inside?"
Jane, passing by, saw Cheng Xuan coming out of the office and asked.
Cheng Xuan replied, "The boss went to the conference room."
Upon hearing this, Jane raised the end of her slender eyebrow slightly: "When will he return?"
