“I was just looking around.”

Although Jiang Jingcheng had said that, his voice was weak. He could not believe the excuse that he had come up with by himself.

“Is that so?”

Since Jiang Jingcheng himself was not confident, Gu Yan would definitely not believe him. If he did not tell the truth today, she would not let him off easily.

“All right, all right. I’ll tell you the truth! I just wanted to check her progress in design. I always feel that I can’t be at ease while she’s handling it!”

Jiang Jingcheng did not want to hide anything from Gu Yan anymore and told her the truth. He felt that it was okay if she wanted to blame him.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment. Was Jiang Jingcheng worrying about his crush? Gu Yan found it funny, but what he did was not right. She felt the need to let him be aware of this. If she didn’t blame him this time, she was afraid that he would do it again.

Just now, she was the one who saw him do this, and she chose to let him go. But what if others saw it? What would they say about him? She thought that it was better to be safe than sorry.

“Then why did you sneak around and peep at her design? She would tell you about it if you have just asked her openly.”

Gu Yan could not figure it out. Jiang Jingcheng was Gu Manman’s leader, so he should just ask her directly about it. Why was he sneaking around? Furthermore, it was not crossing the line for him to ask about her progress of the design. There was no reason for her to hide it. So why did Jiang Jingcheng do this?

When Gu Yan mentioned it, Jiang Jingcheng felt like he had been wronged.

Although he did question Gu Manman before, it didn’t mean that he completely denied her ability. He didn’t trust her because she was unreliable. Gu Manman hadn’t done anything related to design in such a long time, so how could he trust her with such an important project?

However, Gu Manman did not know about this at all. All she was thinking about was how Jiang Jingcheng had questioned her ability. Therefore, in the past few days, she had not been nice to him and had not cooperated with his work. Jiang Jingcheng was speechless and wondered if all girls’ emotions were so unpredictable.

Gu Manman hadn’t been nice to Jiang Jingcheng in the past few days because she felt that she had been underestimated. It was her own business that she hadn’t shown her strength, but he questioned her and even denied her ability in front of Gu Yan. This was totally humiliation to Gu Manman.

Recently, Gu Manman had decided that she would not forgive Jiang Jingcheng for the time being, for he had greatly humiliated her.

Looking at Jiang Jingcheng’s unpredictable expression, Gu Yan figured what had happened between him and Gu Manman and laughed secretly in her heart. She firmly believed that these two were actually going to be together since they were acting like this.

She couldn’t help sighing that Qi Changfeng’s intuition was really accurate. This man could see through things which only showed a few signs.

Looking at Jiang Jingcheng’s bashful expression, Gu Yan knew that it was not an unrequited love of Gu Manman. Jiang Jingcheng must have had some affection for her, but he did not realize that yet. What Gu Yan needed to do now was to inspire him and let him realize his actual feelings clearly.

And she needed to get him to know what he wanted most in his heart.

“Stop doing this. What if others see it? Fortunately it was me that caught you sneaking around today. If others saw it, would you be able to explain your actions clearly?”

Jiang Jingcheng didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter. Now that Gu Yan had reminded him, he came back to his senses. “Right. Luckily it was her that caught me sneaking around today. If Gu Manman saw me, I’d never be able to explain myself. She’s an unreasonable person. If she saw what I did, she’d definitely harass me again.”

Just the thought of it gave Jiang Jingcheng a headache.

Other than Gu Yan, no one else should have seen him, right? Thinking about it now, Jiang Jingcheng actually felt a little guilty. Did he leave any clues behind at Gu Manman’s workplace? If he did, would Gu Manman be able to discover it? With her careless personality, she should not be able to find anything, right?

The more Jiang Jingcheng thought about it, the more frightened he felt. It was all Gu Manman’s fault. She was just like an ignorant child. If it weren’t for her, would he have ended up like this?

“I’m just worried! I have to go take a look at what her design is like so that I can decide if I should modify mine or not!”

In a moment of carelessness, Jiang Jingcheng spoke out the fact that he had made another design. Gu Yan also heard it. “Is he so considerate now? He’s afraid that Gu Manman would fail, so he has prepared a set of back-up plans for her in advance?” Gu Yan was already thinking much in her heart.

Jiang Jingcheng didn’t know that Gu Yan was thinking so much. The reason why he had come up with his design was that he was afraid that Gu Manman wouldn’t be able to do a good job. If she messed up this project, everyone in the studio would suffer along with her. The reason that he did so much work was that he was afraid that Gu Manman, an unreliable person, would ruin the studio’s business.

Jiang Jingcheng did not want to see this kind of thing that would harm the interests of the studio happen, so he did the extra work for the sake of the studio and Gu Yan.

Jiang Jingcheng had found a bunch of reasons for himself, as if he wanted to convince himself in his heart. But even Jiang Jingcheng himself did not know why he had to think about so many reasons, and Gu Yan did not need these reasons either. He did not know what was going on with him recently.

Could it be that his pressure was too great?

Now Gu Yan was even more certain of his thoughts. However, she knew that she’d better not say anything right now. If she took the initiative to expose this matter, he would definitely avoid it and would not dare to face his own feelings directly. After all, who would believe that he would fall in love with someone who went against him every day?

Gu Yan did not say anything right now because silence was the greatest help she could give to Jiang Jingcheng and Gu Manman. When it came to their relationship, it would be best if they were the ones to figure it out.

Gu Yan did not say anything, but she knew exactly what was going on, and it was fine as long as she knew what was going on. As for how the situation would develop, she would just have to wait and see.

“That’s enough. You’re worrying for nothing here. Can’t you trust the youngsters a little bit more?”

Although Gu Yan did not voice her speculations, she still had to say what had to be said. Otherwise, if Jiang Jingcheng kept setting himself against Gu Manman every day, he might end up with the opposite of what he wanted.
