Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Wencheng felt that he was a good-for-nothing. Why was he always so easily moved by Meng Nianyao? He also felt that he would die sooner or later.
Meng Nianyao was a little cold. Although she didn’t reject him, she had always been slow when it came to love. In order to avoid reminding her of bad memories, she had always restrained herself.
“Meng Nianyao.” Gu Wencheng leaned on her shoulder and bit her. Meng Nianyao hissed in pain. Gu Wencheng whispered something in her ear before turning to the bathroom. Meng Nianyao was left standing alone with a flushed face.
About half an hour later, Gu Wencheng came out of the bathroom. Meng Nianyao was afraid of him today, so she found a corner to sit in. When she saw him come out, she didn’t even greet him. Gu Wencheng walked towards her, but she stopped him.
He stopped in his tracks.
Meng Nianyao was silent for a while. “I was wrong. I’ll never provoke you again.” She didn’t do anything and Gu Wencheng couldn’t control his lower body. How dare he threaten her! On top of that, she still had to apologize first! She felt wronged!
Gu Wencheng looked at Meng Nianyao, who was sitting in the corner, only to find that she was wrapped in a blanket. Her exposed skin was tightly wrapped, and the she didn’t look very good. Gu Wencheng couldn’t hold back his expression anymore. He was angry and amused at the same time. He walked over and patted Meng Nianyao’s head. “Be good. I’m going to deal with something. I’ll be back soon.”
Meng Nianyao quickly nodded, looking as if she couldn’t wait for him to leave. If it was before, Gu Wencheng would have teased her, but he had something to do today and left first.
Gu Wencheng’s face darkened as he came out of the presidential suite. Ping Yang, who was following behind him, also looked serious. Not long after, they arrived at the hotel’s parking lot. The colleague from the public relations department who had been involved in the accident had already been taken away by the ambulance.
The person in charge of the public relations department stood at the place where the ambulance had just stopped. He arranged for two colleagues to follow the ambulance to the hospital, and the other to contact the colleague’s family.
“What happened?” Gu Wencheng’s face was extremely cold.
The person in charge of the public relations department was so scared that he shivered. He immediately bowed and replied, “There were still some places in the venue that had not been set up. Xiao Liu and Xiao Li went to take care of it this afternoon. At around four o’clock, Xiao Li went to pick up the express delivery. When he came back, Xiao Liu was already dead.” It was a big deal for a listed international company to lose a life on the day of its annual meeting. If the media exposed it, the Gu Corporation would be pushed to the front page of newspapers by tomorrow morning.
“Have you called the police?” Gu Wencheng asked.
“Yes,” replied the person.
“Keep the impact of this matter to a minimum.”
Meng Nianyao woke up early the next morning. After basking in the hotel’s air-conditioning for the whole night, she felt a little drowsy. She lay on the sofa, her thoughts gradually blurring. When she was half-awake, she suddenly heard the sound of the door card. She thought that Gu Wencheng had returned and opened her eyes to get up, but she didn’t expect it to be Lin Ping.
“Auntie,” Meng Nianyao rubbed her eyes and greeted.
“Yes.” Lin Ping was attending the banquet on behalf of Grandma Gu today. She looked around but didn’t see Gu Wencheng.” Where’s Gu Wencheng?” she asked.
“He went out for something. He’ll be back in a while.” The blanket on Meng Nianyao slid off her shoulders as she stood up.
Lin Ping’s gaze fell on the bite mark on Meng Nianyao’s neck. Her expression was a little ugly. She walked over and covered the bite mark.” I know you young people are open-minded, but why don’t you take a look at what day it is today?” How will others see you and Gu Wencheng if you wear this mark on such an occasion?”
Meng Nianyao was embarrassed and didn’t say anything.
“You can go back now if you can’t hide your mark,” Lin Ping said directly. “How do you expect me to introduce you to others?”
Meng Nianyao bit her lip.
“Also, I hope you won’t say anything you shouldn’t in front of Gu Wencheng and Grandma,” Lin Ping continued.
A few days ago, Meng Nianyao felt that Lin Ping was slowly accepting her. But today, what she said made her very sure that it was all an illusion.
“Auntie,” Meng Nianyao said.
“I know what you want to say.” Lin Ping raised her hand to stop her. “I’m just stating the facts. Grandma wants me to introduce you at the annual party. She thinks this is the best opportunity, but I don’t think it’s the right time yet..”
