Gu Yu was sitting with a notebook computer on his lap. His dark eyes looked lazily at the dense data diagrams on the screen. His face was expressionless, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

He didn’t even blink. It was as if he hadn’t heard Su Ziqian speak at all.

Su Ziqian waited for approximately 20 seconds. When she saw that he didn’t intend to reply, she further gentled her tone, and with a hint of coquettishness, said, “Yu, I know you’re very busy. But you still have to eat, regardless of how busy you are, or you’ll fall ill. Let’s eat together, shall we?”

As she spoke, she stretched her hand towards him, intending to thread it through his arm.

However, the moment the tip of her fingernail came into contact with his sleeve, Gu Yu suddenly raised his hand and closed the laptop. The dull click that reverberated inside the small interior of the car sounded jarring.

Su Ziqian’s hand trembled instinctively.

With a single arm, Gu Yu placed the laptop aside as he turned his eyes toward Su Ziqian’s face. His eyes were cold as he stared at her for a good two seconds before moving his lips and asking dispa.s.sionately, “Why did you accept the interview?”

He didn’t bother to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Su Ziqian didn’t expect him to be this direct. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt her heartbeat speeding up in a panic. However, she didn’t allow her face to betray her feelings. Maintaining a cool façade, she replied, “It was my agent who accepted the interview on my behalf. I had no idea about it beforehand either. But Ms. Li told me that Z Magazine is a world-renowned publication, and will benefit my image overseas. That’s why I agreed to it.”

Gu Yu tightened his lips, and his eyes were fathomless.

Even though she had been by his side for three years, Su Ziqian still couldn’t read this man. She had no idea if he believed her words or not.

Su Ziqian observed his expression. For added insurance, she softened her tone even further, and in a voice that was partly petulant and partly apologetic, she said, “Yu, are you angry with me? If you don’t like it, I won’t accept any more interviews. Will that do?

“If you dislike this interview, as well, I’ll have Ms. Li call the reporter right away, and have her delete the entire thing.”

As she spoke, she raised her cell phone and was about to make a call.
