C68 (1/2)

Gu Xi Jue's face was ashen as he pinched the phone. What did he mean by 'human today'?

”My dad said that a compassionate employee is what he should do as president.” Gu Xi Jue tried his best to save his image.

”If you like it, tell your grandma to come visit again in the future. It's good to chat with her.” When Madam Gu was mentioned, Xia Lan spoke in a much more courteous manner, treating him in a completely different manner.

”Then what did Xiao Ze say?” Xia Lan added a smile on her face and sent the message over.

This way, Gu Xi Jue could be at ease. This way, his answer proved that she hadn't told her mother anything. If she had, she wouldn't have said that.

Gu Xi Jue squinted his eyes and laughed, then replied: ”I said that beautiful aunt is my father's.”

Even if he said it casually, Gu Xi Jue seemed to have gotten away with it as he leisurely swung his legs a few times.

”Nonsense, your dad would have been the one to hear that.” Xia Lan said embarrassedly. ”Xiao Ze” no longer spouts nonsense.

”My dad knows. I've told him many times.”

”Ah?” What did your father say? ” Xia Lan was extremely shocked, he knew that this child would casually say that he was going to kill her every day.

”My dad didn't say anything. He just praised you for being pretty.” Gu Xi Jue thought that since he was now Xiao Ze, these were definitely words that Xiao Ze could say normally.

”I'd be surprised if I believed you.” Xia Lan knew that Xiao Ze was messing with him again.

”Xiao Ze, it's getting late. Go and sleep.” Xia Lan chased Xiao Ze to sleep.

Gu Xi Jue thought, Xiao Ze had already gone to sleep, and now they were talking about Xiao Ze's father.

On the second day, as soon as Xia Lan entered the company, she called for the CEO's office.

After an afternoon's rest, Xia Lan had already adjusted herself to make sure that she did not bring personal matters into the work.

Xia Lan went to brew a cup of coffee for Gu Xi Jue before going over.

He placed the coffee on the table and asked softly, ”Gourmet, are you looking for me?”

Gu Xi Jue raised his head, his expression completely stunned. This was because Xia Lan's eyes were as swollen as walnuts, and with a single glance, he could tell that he had been crying.

Crying for Xiao Yan?

It seemed that the grudge between them was much deeper than he had imagined.

Now, he secretly rejoiced that bringing Xia Lan to Gui Lin to participate in the opening ceremony was the right decision.

They came to Guilin on the eve of the opening ceremony and checked into the largest five-star hotel in Guilin.

It was much hotter here than in A City. As soon as he got off the plane, he could feel a wave of hot air blowing towards him.

Xia Lan couldn't take the heat anymore and took off her jacket. She was only wearing a suspenders and jeans.

Gu Xi Jue, who was walking behind her, couldn't help but feel his whole body tighten when he saw her moving attire.

Recently, he had become more and more unpromising, and this could even cause him to have a reaction. Could it be, he wondered, that it had been four years without a fight?

After exiting the airport, they each pushed a suitcase as they waited on the road. Someone had specially come to pick them up.
