C47 (1/2)
Liang Yinuo walked in with his high heels and smiled as he sat in front of Gu Yizhen. She was no longer so foolish as to directly reveal his thoughts to him, she believed that as long as he was outstanding enough, he would definitely attract his attention.
However, what she did not know was that Gu Yizhen did not notice any of these changes in her at all. Because Gu Yizhen's gaze had never stopped on her body. Even if there was, it was only the way older brothers treated their younger sisters. How could they have noticed the changes that had occurred to her and the other women?
Liang Yinuo took out an invitation card from his bag and handed it over to him. In her eyes, there was no longer the same undisguised admiration and admiration he used to have, but instead, there was a hint of innocence and confidence. She had practiced this an unknown number of times at home before he was able to accurately pinpoint it, just so that he could pretend that it was an unintentional display of elegance in front of Gu Yizhen.
”A Zhen, in three days, my father will be hosting the Birthday Dinner for me. I hope that you can come.
Gu Yizhen nodded, and took the invitation invitation, placing it in the drawer. ”I understand. I will definitely go there when the time comes.”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to busy himself with his work.
Liang Yinuo felt a burning sensation on his face. He had been practicing for so long on this expression, could it be that he didn't even spare a glance at it? For the past two years, she had been making changes for him, but he never received any response. He didn't know how much longer he should keep going on.
”What is it? Is there anything else? ” Gu Yizhen raised his head and realized that she was still in front of him. Didn't he already finish what he was saying?
Liang Yinuo bit his lips, and said with difficulty in the end, ”A Zhen, after this birthday, I will be twenty-five years old, and my family is also rushing me to get married. I really don't know what to do right now.”
”Indeed, you should be anxious at home. You're not young anymore. If you find something suitable, you can give it a try. Perhaps, you might be able to find happiness.”
Gu Yizhen naturally understood what she was trying to say, it was just that he couldn't give her any sort of response. Instead of saying that, it was better to just let her give up, although the words sounded a little cruel, it was still better than delaying her.
Hearing his words, Liang Yinuo's heart suddenly hurt so much that it felt like it was going to tear. She had been waiting for so many years, could it be that she really had no chance at all? There were a lot of people who wanted to chase after her, but she had always been focused on him. She was changing for him, working hard to make herself outstanding for him so that one day she could see her reflection in his eyes. But now, he said these words and pushed himself to someone else, did he really not feel anything at all?
”Alright, then get busy. I'll be leaving first.” Liang Yinuo tried his best to maintain a smile as he turned around and left. No matter what, he definitely couldn't lose his self-esteem. This would only make men look down on him, and one day, he would be her man. He would be hers alone, and no one could take her away from him.
After Liang Yinuo left, Gu Yizhen also stopped his work and took out the invitation card from the drawer. He had grown up together with her, so he naturally knew her temperament. If he made her wait like this, even if ten or twenty years had to wait, she would still continue to wait, so no matter what, he had to put an end to her thoughts. That way, she would be able to give up and chase after the true happiness that truly belonged to his.
Thinking about it, Gu Yizhen picked up the phone: Come over for a bit, I have something to tell you.
Ye Xiaoan was busy arranging the documents in his office, so he had moved all the things over, but the documents were still in a mess. He himself was suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder, so he felt uncomfortable looking at all of them not being arranged according to his usual habits. The phone suddenly rang, Ye Xiaoan picked up the call, and Gu Yizhen's low voice came from the other side.
”Got it, I'll be right there.”
Ye Xiaoan put down the phone, cursed at his mother, and walked towards the CEO's office. Who knew that he would be reduced to his little follower now, of course he would get here whenever he was called, and he couldn't have a temper either.
Gu Yizhen saw Ye Xiaoan walk in and placed the invitation in front of her. Ye Xiaoan picked it up with suspicion. Liang Yinuo?
”Birthday Dinner, then why did you call me here? You want me to book a room for all of you?”
Ye Xiaoan blurted out. When he raised his head, he found that Gu Yizhen's dark face was staring at him, and he suddenly realized that he had done something wrong.
”No, CEO, I just... ”I said the wrong words, but before my brain could react, I blurted out. What did you call me here for …”
