Liang Han only called Xi Cheng when he arrived at Xi Corporation’s headquarters, but Xi Cheng said that he was at ‘Vision ofEternity instead.
“Why are you at ‘ Vision ofEternity in the middle of the day? The bar isn’t even open during daytime!” Liang Han complained as he restarted the car.
Xi Cheng avoided the question. “Just come over. There’s something I need your help with.”
Gu Man burrowed into Xi Cheng’s arms when he put down his phone. “Xi Cheng, you’re the best. I love you to bits!” She cupped Xi Cheng’s face and kissed him fiercely.
Xi Cheng finally freed himself from Gu Man’s overwhelming kisses and stated, “Alright, enough! You have to behave yourself later when Liang Han comes.
Don’t let him see through you. The guys… It won’t be good for your takeover of
‘ Vision ofEternity in the future if they find out about us.”
Gu Man pouted and shifted down to his side, resentfully mumbling, “They’re so nosy. It’s none of their business who you’re with, and they don’t seem to like Lin Yu that much in the first place! We love each other and are perfectly happy together. If they were true friends, shouldn’t they be happy for you?”
Xi Cheng frowned slightly. “Stop disparaging Lin Yu if you want to be with me. I’m helping you secure ‘Vision ofEternity because I want you to have a place to settle down and something to rely on in the future. I know the Gu family doesn’t treat you well.”
Gu Man’s eyes reddened as she murmured, “Xi Cheng…”
Xi Cheng gently patted her hand and didn’t say anything else. Gu Man hugged his waist, buried her face in his chest, and silently cried. She was from an insignificant branch of the Gu family, and it was only thanks to her having caught Aunt Chang Hui’s eye that she got raised by her side and had as noble a status as her cousins. Even if she knew she would only be a marriage alliance tool in the future, Gu Man was happy to do so because that was how a daughter of the Gu family should be.
She would naturally be able to marry better by staying by Aunt Chang Hui’s side. Therefore, Gu Man treated Aunt Chang Hui and her cousins like they were her closest kin and rarely contacted her birth family.
