Free Web NovelChapter 705: Sheng Yi Knows He’s Here
Inside the carriage, the temperature is just right.
After the conversation, Sheng Yi is shocked by Gu Yuan’s decision to return home without taking her along!!
She expresses her lack of understanding!
Yuanyuan was initially here to pick her up, so why isn’t she taking her along now?
"...Yuanyuan, why aren’t you taking me with you?" Sheng Yi’s voice sounded different as she asked this question.
She imagined countless possibilities in her heart, and the most likely one was her excessive behavior with Dao An making Yuanyuan disappointed in her.
At this moment, Gu Yuan and Sheng Yi are both sitting in the back seat, while Chi Yu is driving in the front.
Gu Yuan glanced at the front rearview mirror, noticing the evident smile on Chi Yu’s raised lips; she knew what he was laughing about, and even though she hadn’t told him yet, he probably guessed it.
She replied to Sheng Yi, "The itinerary was changed last minute, and I’ve already made plans."
"What plans?" Sheng Yi asked curiously.
Gu Yuan smiled slightly but didn’t answer immediately.
Most of the time, she speaks directly to the point, including the conversation she had with Dao An half an hour ago at the Empire State Building, starting straight to the point, without any probing or beating around the bush——
——[Your feelings for Yiyi haven’t changed, have they?]
——[Yiyi came to M Country not mainly to avoid Qin Bing; she came to M Country to find you. Encountering Qin Bing was actually an accident.]
——[There’s another thing you might have misunderstood all along, which is that the person Yiyi mentioned on Weibo that she secretly admired was you, there was never anyone else.]
——[Yiyi thought you already have a girlfriend, and she’s very sad.]
Four direct, concise, and candid sentences.
No beating around the bush or veiled probing, she just said it directly.
However, the man sitting opposite, upon hearing her say that Sheng Yi came to M Country for him, and that the person Sheng Yi announced she admired on Weibo was also him, knowing he has a girlfriend made her sad, remained remarkably calm and composed, without any response. He simply lowered his gaze, staring at a spot, as if contemplating something, or as if not paying any attention to her words.
Gu Yuan couldn’t see through him.
Yes, couldn’t see through.
Whether it’s the current Dao An or the old Dao An, she’s unable to easily see through him.
Being able to stand where he is today on Wall Street within a year means he’s not someone who’s easily read, even when facing any significant market crash, he manages to stay composed like a mountain.
So Gu Yuan quickly concluded
——That perhaps Dao An’s feelings for Yiyi have really faded.
Otherwise, upon hearing her words, he should at least react with some shock, allowing her to feel there’s still a reason to continue the discussion.
If Dao An doesn’t respond to this, then Gu Yuan naturally understands that there’s no need to continue the topic; disliking means disliking, even guilt can’t be transformed into something else to compensate, compensating for not liking will only cause greater harm!
Though Dao An showed no reaction to her words.
It was Jane, sitting beside Dao An, who reacted intensely to her words!
"President Gu, are you joking?"
Jane couldn’t sit still upon hearing those words and stood up directly, her expression evidently filled with astonishment. Realizing that her previous words were rude, she immediately apologized to Gu Yuan, "Sorry, President Gu, I was too agitated."
Gu Yuan smiled lightly, looked up at Jane, and asked, "Does Jane have any opinion on this?"
Jane deliberated for a few seconds, restraining her demeanor and tone, "If I understood correctly, President Gu wants Ann to respond to the one-sided feelings of the other party?"
In response, Gu Yuan lowered her gaze, "You misunderstood."
Jane was speechless, her expression puzzled.
Gu Yuan: "It’s not a response, but a statement, otherwise I’ll take the person away."
Jane fell silent.
Gu Yuan looked at the man sitting opposite, his calm demeanor made him impossibly unreadable, no one knew what he was thinking, nor could anyone see through what he was thinking.
The temperature in the spacious office seemed to have dropped slightly, for reasons unknown.
Gu Yuan waited for Dao An to show some stance, but the other party remained sitting silently, not showing any sign of giving an attitude, leaving Gu Yuan somewhat troubled, as emotions are really hard to decipher, both draining and consuming one’s heart.
Her own emotional journey had been bumpy.
Now she was worrying about Yiyi’s feelings, wearing herself out like a worried mother.
"Dao An, we’re returning home tomorrow." This was Gu Yuan’s final ultimatum.
