Chapter 310: 310 The Night Without You is Hard to Fall Asleep (9)_1
"Really," Gu Liancheng frowned, "then why do I feel so tired these past few days?"
Ai Lin chuckled: "Maybe you’re genuinely tired. Mr. Gu, you’re also human, not iron. You’ve been working so hard every day and, over time, it’s bound to wear you down. How about I reduce some of your arrangements for next week to lighten your load?"
Gu Liancheng fell into deep thought.
Was he also tired?
He’d always had a great interest in his work and an appetite for challenge, never considering he might one day feel exhausted.
Ai Lin eyed Gu Liancheng and laughed: "Mr. Gu, on closer look, your complexion really doesn’t look so good. Have you not been sleeping well these past few days?"
He frowned and said, "No, someone is extraordinarily bothersome, constantly disturbing my sleep!"
Judging from his tone, that person must indeed be a nuisance! Taken aback, Ai Lin said, "Who’d dare to disturb Mr. Gu’s sleep? Is that person still alive?" Ai Lin was joking.
"..."
Not only were they still alive, they were probably very much alive!
"Is it your wife? I heard from Su Bai that your wife is a very adorable girl. If it’s her, then I can understand," she suggested.
With a "thud", a file was put down heavily, startling Ai Lin.
Ai Lin still wasn’t aware he had gotten a divorce.
"Help me schedule an appointment with Doctor Wang for a physical."
"Yes." Ai Lin added this to his itinerary.
A little later, she suggested, "Mr. Gu, seeing as you’ve been so tired these days, why not take a break? There’s a wedding you’re invited to attend tomorrow, would you like to consider it?"
"Not going." Gu Liancheng declined coldly.
He had just gotten a divorce, was he then supposed to go to someone else’s wedding and watch them flaunt their love?
Displays of love had been a daily norm for Gu Liancheng!
He squinted his eyes.
Damn it.
"So it’s like that, I’ll decline on your behalf then," Ai Lin made a note on her tablet. "Mr Gu, you should rest well, I’ll go arrange your stuff."
On the screen, that kid never popped up again.
His spirit was down, leaving him without the energy to attend to official duties. He opened the chat and sent another message: Kid, have you ever been in love?
Genius: Daddy, I’m only four years old, what do you think? Dating at my age is not good.
Gu Liancheng: ...
Forget it, he’d have to be insane to confide in a stranger!
...
"Hey! Pretty Ai! Good morning!"
"Good morning, Handsome Su." Ai Lin maintained an elegant smile.
"You’ve gotten even more beautiful!" Su Bai teased.
Ai Lin laughed, not taking the bait.
"So, is Mr. Gu in a good mood today?"
"Can’t say he’s in a good mood, but he’s not exactly in a bad one either. Just be careful, he’s not in the best spirit."
"Thanks!"
Su Bai seemed to have rested very well, forming a stark contrast to Gu Liancheng.
"Huh... Mr. Gu, you don’t seem well?" Ai Lin had mentioned it, making him take particular note, and indeed, it wasn’t very good.
"So you noticed it too?"
"Yeah..." Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, "Seems like you haven’t been sleeping well these days. Mr. Gu, don’t tell me it’s because your wife left, you’re tossing and turning every night, suffering from insomnia? Ouch—!"
Fortunately, Su Bai dodged quickly, otherwise, he’d have been hit by the file folder and got a bump on his head.
"Mr. Gu, so being an assistant now involves risking one’s life? Telling the truth is out of the question—alright alright, I’ll keep quiet!"
The file folder in Gu Liancheng’s hand was clearly a threat to him.
There was a saying that went, ’What a big mouth you have!’
