“I'm full,” Gu Nianshen replied with his back facing Aunt Zhou .

Before he finished his sentence, he had already physically disappeared from the dining room .

Aunt Zhou frowned helplessly before looking away from Gu Nianshen to the food on his plate . “He ate so little . ”

Gu Nianshen's gla.s.s of milk was at least half-full and he had only taken one bite out of his sandwich and did not even touch the eggs on his plate .

Indeed, he had barely eaten anything .

Lin Yiqian's mouth twitched as she gritted her teeth before putting her fork down . She then reached for her phone .

Qi Shaodong had to take a night flight from the capital to Shanghai the day before . In less than five hours, he would have to hurry back to the capital again . Qi Shaodong leaned against the door of the car with a bitter frown on his face .

As soon as he saw Gu Nianshen walking out from the house, he immediately greeted Gu Nianshen with a look of excitement . “CEO, you only have an hour left . We need to get going . ”

“Alright,” Gu Nianshen replied before walking past Qi Shaodong with his head lowered .

He did not look at Qi Shaodong's face .

Qi Shaodong felt that something was amiss . He caught up with Gu Nianshen as they walked toward the car .

“CEO, why is your face red? Are you not feeling well?” Qi Shaodong asked, concerned .

Qi Shaodong could swear that he was genuinely concerned about Gu Nianshen, and was not trying to snoop around .

“We only have an hour . Are you sure we can make it onto the plane in time?” Gu Nianshen asked with a frown .

After rolling his eyes at Qi Shaodong, Gu Nianshen proceeded to get into the car .

Wham!

The door on the pa.s.senger's side was promptly closed .

Qi Shaodong remained speechless .

Whose fault was it that they were running late?

Gu Nianshen was the one who had decided to rush home late in the night and to leave in a hurry . Qi Shaodong had even confirmed the time of their flights with him . Gu Nianshen was the one who took his own sweet time at home .

Qi Shaodong suddenly realized that it was not easy being an employee of such an unreasonable boss .

Qi Shaodong had no choice . If he wanted to make money, he would have to suck it up .

As Gu Nianshen did not get enough sleep, he felt dizzy . Fortunately, he was able to lie down on the pa.s.senger's seat .

Whilst the car slowly backed out of the courtyard, Gu Nianshen leaned back as his gaze swept past the rear-view mirror . A bright red color appeared in the mirror .

It was the reflection of a tall lady standing in front of the main entrance as if she was looking at something far away .

Gu Nianshen smiled as he pressed a b.u.t.ton to lower the window . As soon as it was fully wound down, Gu Nianshen extended his hand to gently caress the girl's tiny reflection in the mirror as it became smaller and smaller .

“CEO,” Qi Shaodong called out all of a sudden .

As Gu Nianshen's thoughts were interrupted, the affectionate smile on his face disappeared as he retrieved his hand and closed the window .

“Speak,” he replied .

“I've given VV a call . From his investigations, he found out that madam would always be out of the office during lunchtime,” Qi Shaodong said .

“Did she go out to meet clients or did she go to the store?” Gu Nianshen asked without giving it much thought .

“We don't know . She would always leave on her own at noon . However, she would return during dinner-time and stay in the office until approximately ten o'clock . ”

Gu Nianshen was focused on the latter part of Qi Shaodong's sentence, where he mentioned that Lin Yiqian would work overtime until ten o'clock .

He wished he could shut the Lin family's business down . However, the fact that Lin Yiqian was willing to trade her own life for the business proved that she badly wanted the business to survive and thrive . Gu Nianshen could not possibly crush her hopes .

In the entire world, the only person whom he refused to disappoint was Lin Yiqian .

Sigh .

“Tell VV to keep an eye on her . Find out who she's meeting . I want everything she does to go smoothly . ” Gu Nianshen ordered Qi Shaodong after sighing silently .
