Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 244 I'm afraid my wife won't let me go home

Because of their argument yesterday, Gu Yanci was worried about Wen Yan leaving his sight, so he insisted on dragging her to his office to study, claiming that "if she encounters any problems she doesn't understand, she can directly ask Jiang Xing," since Jiang Xing works at the company.

Wen Yan was initially engrossed in reading her thesis in the CEO's office lounge, her expression calm. Suddenly, Gu Yanci noticed that the woman glared at him a few times.

She glared at him several more times, clearly disliking his appearance.

Gu Yanci put down the documents, walked over in a good-natured manner, knelt down on one knee in front of her, and looked her in the eye.

"what happened?"

Gu Yanci quickly recalled what he had done this morning—he shouldn't have upset Wen Yan, since she hadn't paid any attention to him all morning.

Wen Yan flipped her wrist, showing him her phone screen.

Bei Qing: [Miss Wen acted impulsively for her boyfriend! Let's guess when everyone will find out that you're the rich woman who spent a six-figure sum last night to listen to "Apologize" three times!]

"Gu Yanci, as you wish, I'm about to lose face!" Wen Yan had already guessed this would happen when she requested the song last night, after all, nothing stays secret forever.

This circle is full of gossips; who knows how they'll gossip about her! They say she's desperately trying to please Gu Yanci, that she's terrified of being dumped by him!

Although they ultimately reached the same goal, she spent money and lost face, and the man didn't hear a thing. Now she's being discussed by that gossipy guy outside!

There was no one else in the office, so Wen Yan took off her shoes and stepped onto the sofa. She grew angrier and angrier, and kicked the man's arm.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanci reacted quickly and grabbed her foot with ease.

The woman's ankles were slender, her skin delicate, and her skin temperature was slightly lower than the constant 26 degrees Celsius in the air-conditioned room, making her feel like a piece of beautiful jade when held in the hand. Gu Yanci unconsciously rubbed his thumb together, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Gu Yanci!" Wen Yan suddenly pulled her feet back, crossed her legs, and pressed them under her thighs, refusing to let the man touch her.

“Honey, I didn’t mean it that way.” Gu Yanci felt wronged and tried to reason with her.

"Hmph." Wen Yan turned around to look at her thesis, refusing to reason with him.

Ten minutes passed.

Luo Beiqing sent another message to Wen Yan.

Bei Qing: [Forwarding chat history]

—【The song request last night was wrong; it was Gu Shao who requested it for Wen Yan! It's said that Gu Shao upset his wife, and Lou Shao personally confirmed it!】

—[Wasn't it said that a lady surnamed Wen ordered it for her husband?]

—【Wait, can Wen Yan apologize to someone?】

—【Holy crap, the way you put it, Gu Yanci, who's always so arrogant and aloof, doesn't seem like he's apologizing to someone?】

—【Wen Yan and Gu Yanci are actually together! We're the only ones in our industry like this, right?】

—【So sweet! I'm shipping them! Ahhh!】

Bei Qing: [Your man leaked this information? That's clever. You can reward him when you get home tonight!]

Wen Yan read the chat history again before she was sure that the outside world actually thought that Gu Yanci had spent the money last night to apologize to her.

"You..." Wen Yan shook her phone, speaking incredulously, "You released that message?"

The man sitting on the sofa next to her, looking up at the sound of her voice, already knew what she was asking without needing a gentle explanation.

"Isn't Mrs. Gu afraid of losing face?" he said helplessly.

Wen Yan smacked her lips, feeling a little guilty: "Ah...aren't you afraid? You're shameless, aren't you?"

Gu Yanci replied in a serious tone, "I'm afraid my wife won't let me go home."

Wen Yan: "..."

My phone is still vibrating; someone has sent me a message.

Northward Lean: [Link]

Bei Qing: [I'll send you one via same-city courier, you're welcome!]

What kind of clothes are these? Black stockings... and why do they have tails?!

What kind of sexy lingerie is this?!

Wen Yan's vision went black for a moment, and she subconsciously turned off her phone screen. However, she lost her grip on the phone, and it slid to the bottom with a 'clatter'.

Wen Yan bent down to pick it up, but a hand picked up the phone first.

Wen Yan looked up and met Gu Yanci's leisurely gaze.

"Zhizhi, what are you so nervous about?" Gu Yanci glanced at Wen Yan's phone screen and raised an eyebrow. "You like this kind of thing?"

"..." Wen Yan snatched her phone back, "Why are you spying on my privacy!"

Gu Yanci smiled faintly, in a good mood: "Weren't you going to wear it for me tonight?"

Wen Yan's cheeks flushed red, feeling like she was about to evaporate. She rolled her eyes at him with a straight face and said, "Keep dreaming! Who wants to wear this for you!"

Gu Yanci bent down, trapping the person between the sofa and his chest, with a hint of relentless determination, asking in a tone that was half threatening and half ambiguous:

"So who are you going to wear this for? Hmm? Baby, who are you going to reward?"
