C9 (1/2)

Gu Yan was stunned.

She couldn't tell what she looked like, or whether she was beautiful or ugly.

The girl lay still and did not speak. Was she getting more and more beautiful? Maybe.

Perhaps she knew, he had said, that she was his, but when that would change, she did not know, even, that she did not want to know, did not dare to know.

Gu Mushen looked down at the girl in his embrace. She was becoming more and more slim and graceful, and also had the appearance of a girl who should have grown up together with her. Before long, he would let her truly grow up.

Because he was sick, Gu Yan took a leave of absence to rest at home.

Gu Mushen did not go to the company either and stayed at home with her.

That afternoon they were in the study as usual, he working on the paperwork, and she at his side, chasing the play.

It was clearly a very sweet comedy, if it was any ordinary person, they would definitely laugh, but Gu Yan just watched quietly, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest due to the development of the story.

At this time, Li Xian walked into the study with the documents and knocked on the door. ”Mushen, head to An City on the 3 o'clock plane.

Her gaze fell on the man's face. She ignored the inappropriate sounds of movies and dramas in the study and did not pay any attention to the other person in the study.

Hearing Li Xian's words, the expression on Gu Yan's face finally changed. She frowned, turned her head, and asked carefully: ”Are you going on a business trip?”

”Yes.” Gu Mushen closed the document in his hand and placed it on the table, he caressed the top of her hair and spoke as though he was comforting her, ”We need to discuss a collaboration.”

”I don't want you to go.”

Gu Yan casually wrapped his arm around the man's arm, his tone slightly childish, but to the man's ears, it sounded very pleasing.

She frowned and said to Gu Yan: ”Gu Yan, as the CEO of the Gu Clan, it's common for Mushen to travel. You're no longer a child, could it be that you want Mushen to accompany you by your side everyday?”

The meaning in his words was, you don't need to be stupid.

Gu Yan looked at Li Xian, lowered his head silently, released his hand, and said indifferently: ”I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this.”

When Gu Mushen saw the girl lower her head, the expression in her eyes darkened. Her large hands grabbed onto the girl's lower jaw, causing her to raise her head to meet his gaze.

”Then inform them that the cooperation will be discussed another day.”
