She was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't see the cold look on his face.

Gu Qingyan stood up, put the napkin on the table, and said calmly to Lu Yilin, "I still have some time to go, so you can eat slowly."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the restaurant without waiting for Lu Yilin's reply.

"Brother Qingyan, where are you going? You haven't finished eating yet."

When Lu Yilin reacted, Gu Qingyan had already left.

Looking at the untouched plate of steak on his table, Lu Yilin looked gloomy. She promised to make up for her meal yesterday, but within half an hour of sitting down, Gu Qingyan left.

Who called him? Who is he talking about? Male and female, is this Fang Xiaosu? Lu Yilin vented her anger and cut the steak in front of her randomly, losing the mood to eat.

In the private room of 305.

Pei Yujie was having a great time with his colleagues. He briefly introduced Fang Xiaosu and then mingled with the others.

When Gu Qingyan called, Fang Xiaosu was watching them.

Seeing that the call was from Gu Qingyan, the smile on her face disappeared. She didn't know why Gu Qingyan called her suddenly. Could it be that Quan Tingxiao told him? Fang Xiaosu stood up and walked out of the private room, while Pei Yujie kept observing Fang Xiaosu's every move.

Fang Xiaosu walked to the aisle, blocked out the noisy sound, and then answered the phone.

"Where are you?"

Gu Qingyan's voice sounded as cold as ice, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Fang Xiaosu thought to herself that he and Lu Yilin had some trouble at dinner, so he wanted to vent to her? She put away the speculation in her heart and said calmly, "What's wrong? Don't you have a beautiful woman to accompany you for dinner?"

"I asked you where you are?"

Gu Qingyan's tone was tinged with impatience.

Fang Xiaosu understood his temper and no longer avoided his problems. Enough was enough.

"I'm at the Jingyue Hotel."

"What are you doing there?"

Gu Qingyan continued to ask.

"I have a friend who has a birthday, and I'm here to celebrate him."

There was a cold snort from the other end of the phone, and then there was the sound of the elevator opening the door.

But Fang Xiaosu felt that the voice was very close, as if it was nearby.

She subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the elevator. This sight made her freeze on the spot.

Gu Qingyan was standing at the corner of the elevator, wearing a straight suit and looking at her with a deep look on his face.

Fang Xiaosu's heart was beating fast. One second he was on the phone with her, and the next second he was in front of her. This space transition was a bit fast.

At the moment when she was dazed, Gu Qingyan had already strode in front of her.

"You are a lot more courageous. You came here secretly without telling me."

Gu Qingyan stood still in front of Fang Xiaosu and stared at her angrily.

"I...I'm just here to celebrate my friend's birthday, and I'm not running away. Why are you so worried?"

Although Fang Xiaosu was surprised by his sudden appearance, she seemed to be used to his temper. No matter how angry he was, he would not do anything to her, except for that time when he ran away which completely angered him.

"Except for going to the Gu family and the Gu family, you must get my permission wherever you go. You have stayed in the Gu family for so long, do you still need me to teach you?"

"I……"

Fang Xiaosu wanted to explain, but he didn't have the patience to listen.

The two of them stood here, and people who occasionally came in and out of the private room would stare at them.

Fang Xiaosu knew that it must be Gu Qingyan's aura that was so strong that it attracted their attention.

"go back."

Gu Qingyan didn't give her a chance to speak, and took her hand to leave.

"Xiao Su?"

Suddenly a pleasant male voice came from behind. They both turned around and saw Pei Yujie standing not far away.

Fang Xiaosu was shocked, why did he suddenly appear? How long had he been standing there? How many more have you heard? She calmly shook off Gu Qingyan's hand, and he watched her subtle movements and focused his attention on Pei Yujie.

"Where are you going?"

After Pei Yujie said this, he saw Gu Qingyan's face clearly.

He looked at Gu Qingyan in shock and lost his mind for a moment.

Why is Gu Qingyan here? How could he hold Fang Xiaosu's hand? What is his relationship with Fang Xiaosu? Isn't it a simple matter of superiors and subordinates? This is the first time Pei Yujie has seen Gu Qingyan outside the company.

A complex emotion flashed across Pei Yujie's eyes, and this subtle change fell into Gu Qingyan's eyes.

He came to his senses and greeted quickly, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Qingyan looked at him for a while and then asked, "Do you know me?"

"He is Pei Yujie from the media department."

Fang Xiaosu hurriedly explained, fearing that Gu Qingyan would misunderstand and have to quarrel with her again when he gets the chance.

"Media department?"

Gu Qingyan repeated in a low voice, looking at Pei Yujie with a bit more disdain, "So he is the friend you mentioned."

"He's a great guy and today is his birthday."

Fang Xiaosu had no confidence and said, now in front of Pei Yujie, would he speculate on her relationship with Gu Qingyan and then go to the company to publicize it? "I'll give you 5 minutes. I'll wait for you downstairs."

Gu Qingyan took a deep look at Pei Yujie. He always felt that this man was not that simple, and he couldn't explain how he felt. His eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Pei Yujie.

Pei Yujie also glanced at him, but in the end it was he who looked away first.

It wasn't until Gu Qingyan left that Fang Xiaosu felt that the atmosphere had finally calmed down. In fact, she had already thought about how to explain it to Pei Yujie. It was up to him whether he was willing to believe it or not.

Fang Xiaosu walked towards Pei Yujie and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I have some business and have to go back to work. You can continue to play. I wish you a happy birthday."

"Xiao Su, you and Mr. Gu..."

Pei Yujie stopped her from leaving and asked out of curiosity.

"Mr. Gu suddenly wanted to find a document, so I have to go back and find it for him right away. I won't say any more. I'll leave first. Bye."

Fang Xiaosu entered the elevator without looking back. She was afraid that Pei Yujie would see through her if she stayed any longer, that he would know her relationship with Gu Qingyan and find out her identity.

She arrived at the lobby on the first floor. As expected, Gu Qingyan's luxury car was parked in front of the hotel. He was sitting in the driver's seat. There was no driver today, so he drove himself.

Fang Xiaosu walked over and opened the car door, sat inside and breathed a sigh of relief.

She should have come down within five minutes, but why did this man have such a dark face? Could it be that he has been angry from just now to now? What is he angry about? It was obviously a crisp autumn night, but it made her feel like winter had entered early. The atmosphere in the car was very low, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Gu Qingyan started the car and left. Fang Xiaosu thought he would take her back home, so she didn't think much and just fell asleep.

Fang Xiaosu was sleeping soundly, but it was difficult to breathe. Her nose seemed to be pinched by someone, and she could only open her mouth, but her mouth was also covered.
