Gu Xiao Xiao was far too shocked. So even after Chu Yi Chen slowly let her go, she still stared at his lips non-stop.
“Sweet.” Gu Xiao Xiao blinked and suddenly uttered out one word that made Chu Yi Chen laugh.
“Yes, I secretly ate your candy.” Chu Yi Chen pointed at the box of candy on the side table. Then, he looked over to the TV and raised an eyebrow. “It looks like my Xiao Xiao is still a child at heart and enjoys watching stuff like this.”
The show that was playing was none other than a children’s animation show. Gu Xiao Xiao was red in the face from the teasing. The fact that she likes animation was undebatable true….
Gu Xiao Xiao couldn’t win against Chu Xiao Xi and definitely cannot win against Chu Yi Chen. So she smartly changed the subject instead. Getting up, she said, “Let me find you something to eat!”
Pity, before she even took one step, Chu Yi Chen dragged her back into his arms.
“I have eaten. I ate with a few friends. After you come back, I will bring you to meet them.” Chu Yi Chen patted Gu Xiao Xiao’s head and remembered what happened that night with Feng Zi Heng, Han Yi, and the others at the dinner table.
That night, Chu Yi Chen hasn’t met Jin Jing. But after remembering what happened the first time, he investigated. As suspected, the second turn of events was also related to her.
Chu Yi Chen also investigated Li Yi Ran and found that the messages to Xiao Xiao’s cell phone were not sent by her. Li Yi Ran had no idea all of this was going on. After everything has happened, it was concluded that everything was schemed by Jin Jing and Shi Zi Jian.
“Are all your friends as difficult to deal with as you?” Gu Xiao Xiao asked as she took over the remote control and began mindlessly changing the channel.
“I am difficult to deal with?” Chu Xiao Xi found this saying suspicious, “You successfully dealt with me the first time you met me, didn’t you?”
‘Chu Yi Chen, you and your sister need to stop teasing me all the time!” Gu Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and protested with much dissatisfaction.
Gu Xiao Xiao’s eyes sparkled. Her red lips were full and her eyes and brows were delicate. Her detailed and graceful features were all expressing how unhappy she was towards Chu Yi Chen.
“The next time she takes advantage of you, let me know and I’ll avenge you.” Chu Yi Chen chuckled and let this go. He went to the study room after leaving behind one statement.
Gu Xiao Xiao hasn’t gone to work for several days and she was a little worried thinking about the office. Even though she was merely an intern, her position wasn’t easy to get.
“How are the projects going between your company and Feng Yang?” Gu Xiao Xiao followed Chu Yi Chen into the study room, “I remember the document was all about a foreign project. Are you going out of the country?”
“Are you going to miss me?” Chu Yi Chen peered at her and answered, “The project starts after the year-end. I will have to go a few times, but each trip won’t take long. If you get bored, I can take you with me.”
“I have to go to work. How can I just go with you?”
“Being with me is considered work.” Chu Yi Chen sat behind the desk and turned on his laptop, “Based on what I know, Feng Yang is planning on promoting a portion of its new people. Plus, everyone who participates in the project will get a year-end bonus.”
Gu Xiao Xiao’s eyes shone when she heard the word “bonus”. Chu Yi Chen caught this and smiled helplessly, “I couldn’t tell before, but you are a frugal and money-seeking person.”
“You would be an idiot to not earn money that is in front of you!” Gu Xiao Xiao’s words were shocking. “That is something everyone knows! However…”
Then, Gu Xiao Xiao’s eyes dimmed down again.
“I am just an intern. I won’t be lucky enough to be involved in such a project.”
