Chapter 249 Serving breakfast
After getting along with Jiang Jingcheng for a period, Gu Yan gradually took him as her bromeo. He was considerate and good-tempered. He was also very friendly to the colleagues, so he left a good impression on them. He was, so to speak, a sweet guy in people’s eyes.
Every morning when Gu Yan entered her office, she would find a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread on the table. Although she hated people who cultivated her privately, she couldn’t strictly forbid such behavior in front of all employees of the studio. Otherwise, people would think she was unreasonable and cold. So, she could only furtively investigate this matter.
As usual, yogurt and bread were placed neatly on the table. But the brands of them were not the same as before.
Gu Yan picked up the bread and looked at the packing bag carefully. The bread was produced in the last few days. Gu Yan wondered who had been doing it and she didn’t know it was a secret crush or bribery. Gu Yan put the bread and milk on one side of the table. She had never eaten those unknown breakfasts. This person always spared no effort to give these, which made Gu Yan uneasy.
Gu Yan suddenly remembered that there was a monitor in her office. “I can check it with the surveillance video. It’s so easy.”
Gu Yan prided herself on her intelligence, with a gleam of joy in her eyes.
She turned on her computer excitedly to watch the surveillance video at six to eight o’clock every morning. She rubbed her hands together, waiting for a good show. The person was going to be caught.
No one was in the dark office, in which people could only see the general shape of all objects. Suddenly, a figure appeared. Gu Yan paused the video and zoomed in on the man’s face. It was Jiang Jingcheng! Gu Yan was very shocked. She wanted to know why he came into her office so early every morning. So, she continued watching the surveillance video to find out the truth.
The man came into the office and looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered. There was a handbag in his hand, the items in which couldn’t be recognized. Then he walked gingerly up to Gu Yan’s table and wiped the dust on the table with his sleeves. He opened the handbag, took out things like milk, bread, and put them neatly on the table. After finishing it, he left.
Gu Yan was puzzled. “How could it be Jiang Jingcheng? Why does he secretly bring me breakfast every day? Does he have malicious intentions or like me?”
“It’s impossible for him to like me.” Gu Yan shook her head violently. Maybe because she wasn’t too confident, she thought a man wouldn’t like her so easily and “love at first sight” was ridiculous. What was more, there had been an irreplaceable man in her heart, who was Mo Yichen.
“Could Jiang Jingcheng have an ulterior motive?” Gu Yan recalled the things that happened between them. He was always considerate towards others and worked very hard. He often forgot himself due to a case. Thinking of this, Gu Yan quickly denied her suspicion.
Gu Yan racked her brains and couldn’t think of other answers. She decided to ask him directly…
She phoned her assistant and said softly: “Please ask Jiang Jingcheng to my office. I have something to ask him.”
“OK.”
There was a knock at the door when Gu Yan just hung up the phone and didn’t have time to fiddle with the flowers on the table. It seemed that Jiang Jingcheng had arrived.
“President Gu, I heard you have something to ask me.”
Jiang Jingcheng looked puzzled, not knowing why Gu Yan called him in the early morning. He glanced at Gu Yan, who was grim-faced and fiddled with the flowers seriously. She didn’t pay any attention to him.
Jiang Jingcheng was very nervous. He thought: “Did she find something? Did she send someone to investigate me? It’s impossible. Few people know the relationship between me and Chen Qian.” His hands, hanging on both sides of his legs, broke into a cold sweat. He felt uncomfortable all over, standing still and stiffening for a moment.
“Tell me the truth. I need you to explain to me.”
Gu Yan still looked down and fiddled with the colorful flowers. Her pretty face was as beautiful as a flower. The air was filled with the scent of her body, which could make all men crazy. Even Gu Yan didn’t know she had such a magic.
Jiang Jingcheng stood still and was at a loss, smelling the scent of the flower and the woman. He was just lost in this paradise and forgot his trouble for a moment.
After about two minutes, Jiang Jingcheng still kept silent.
Gu Yan looked at him, with a trace of bitterness in her eyes. She pointed to the untouched breakfast on the table and questioned: “What’s the matter? Don’t tell me that you don’t know what I’m talking about.”
Following the direction of Gu Yan’s finger, Jiang Jingcheng saw the untouched milk and bread. Then he realized what had happened. He lowered his head and showed an evil smile. He had everything under control.
“President Gu, these breakfasts are indeed from me. I found that you never ate breakfast, which is very bad for your health. As our leader, you should set a good example. After all, health is the foundation. We can work harder with a good body.”
“I know it might not be a good idea, but…”
“Okay, okay, stop.” Gu Yan stopped her action and said seriously: “Just because of that? You don’t have any other reason, do you?”
“Because I like you.” Jiang Jingcheng said in a low voice which could just be heard by Gu Yan. Indeed, he deliberately lowered his voice. He thought, “Only when you know that I’m staying here because I like you will you really open your mind to me. In this way, I’m one step closer to the success.”
“What did you say just now?” Gu Yan was suddenly nervous. She could clearly hear his words, but she still wanted to make sure. After all, such affection had better be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was inevitable to bring about something bad in the future.
“Nothing. I did it out of concern for my boss. You may rest assured that I have no other illusions about you.” Seeing Gu Yan’s expression, Jiang Jingcheng forced a smile. He clearly loved another woman, but he was making fun of a woman who belonged to another man. What a sad life!
Hearing what Jiang Jingcheng said, Gu Yan gasped for air. She didn’t know what to do if an employee in her studio liked her. If so, there was a double risk of hurting others and losing talents. The loss outweighed the gain.
“That’s good. Don’t do that again. If others know it, you and I will leave bad impressions on them. It won’t be easy to explain.”
