All because she couldn’t find a trace of any woman living in this apartment.
Perhaps the love nest that Gu Yu shared with Su Ziqian was someplace else, but what she didn’t know couldn’t hurt her. Since she didn’t see it, she’d treat it as if it didn’t exist.
From now on, this was to be the home she shared with Gu Yu.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Yu returned to the office. As he sat behind his huge work desk, he went through his work methodologically, without any emotion on his face. Even after the sky turned dark, he showed no signs of stopping.
After his a.s.sistant answered the tenth call from Mr. Gu Sr., he turned to look at the clock on the wall. It was almost 11.
He glanced furtively at his boss, who was, at that moment, emanating “don’t-you-dare-come-near-me” vibes. He s.h.i.+vered unconsciously. Unfortunately, Mr. Gu Sr. had given him a clear order: it was Mr. Gu’s wedding night, and he was to make sure that Mr. Gu returned home!
He clasped his hands together in prayer toward the clock before steeling himself and entering the boss’ office.
The a.s.sistant took a deep breath, and weakly urged, “Mr. Gu, it’s very late, and it’s your wedding night. Would you like to go…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Yu froze while typing on his keyboard and shot the a.s.sistant a look.
The cold warning in Gu Yu’s eyes made the a.s.sistant suddenly feel as if he’d been transported to the North Pole, and he began s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably.
But Gu Yu pretended as if he hadn’t heard a word. He resumed typing on his keyboard. As he typed, he instructed indifferently, “Book me a ticket to Germany.”
The a.s.sistant jerked back in surprise. “Now?” he asked.
“Now!”
It was his boss’s first day married. Yet, he didn’t want to go home to accompany his wife, but instead wanted to go to Germany? Wasn’t that inappropriate?
“Mr. Gu, this…” he spoke up without thinking.
“Yes?”
That single word conveyed a wealth of meaning.
