Gu Yan crossed her arms over her chest and leaned her head to one side. A smile appeared in the corners of her mouth, as if she had a good dream.
There was nothing but silence in such a big studio. But Jiang Jingcheng felt that his heart was full of something. Seeing Gu Yan’s sleeping face, he couldn’t help feeling warm. It was like that the string in his heart was plucked randomly, which disturbed his original peaceful mind.
He thought this was the feeling of falling in love. No matter how many times he saw Gu Yan, he was always like a young flipped boy, and had to face the impact of it. He clearly knew that Gu Yan was asleep and couldn’t see him, but he was still at a loss without knowing how to lay his hands or feet.
He shook his head and knew that it was a little cold at night in Annan City. If Gu Yan slept here a whole night, she wouldn’t sleep well, and might catch a cold.
He walked slightly and crept to Gu Yan. Then he gently shook Gu Yan’s shoulder. Gu Yan suddenly opened her eyes with panic. And there was no focus in her eyes for some moments.
Jiang Jingcheng was a little upset, but he still lowered his voice and said, “It’s very late. Let me drive you home. It’s more comfortable to sleep at home.”
Gu Yan shook her head and let Jiang Jingcheng go first. She said that she still had something to deal with. But in fact, she was used to being with Mo Yichen every day. Thinking that there was no one at home, she couldn’t control her inner resistance of going home.
At this time, she knew how much she attached to Mo Yichen.
Jiang Jingcheng frowned, and said with disapproval, “If you have something to deal with, I will do it with you. After that, I will drive you home. How can you drive like this? It’s fatigue driving!”
Gu Yan still wanted to say something, but she immediately thought that, even if she didn’t go home now, she could not stay here all night. Raising her wrist and seeing her watch, she found it was already half past eight. Unconsciously, she had already slept for a long time.
Gu Yan didn’t want to trouble Jiang Jingcheng, but she knew his temper. He was so stubborn that he couldn’t take back what he said. Then Gu Yan didn’t refuse him anymore. She packed up her things obediently and walked out of the office with her bag, following Jiang Jingcheng.
The night wind was a little cold. Gu Yan stood at the gate and waited for Jiang Jingcheng who went to get his car. She took a deep breath and gradually felt that her mind was clear. Looking at this city with brilliant streetlights, she was still slightly upset.
After Jiang Jingcheng got his car, he didn’t honk the horn in case he might scare Gu Yan. He just flashed the light. Gu Yan received the signal and cleaned up her mood. Then she got on the car neatly and fastened the seat belt.
“Well, I work hard for you during the day time, and have to work overtime to send you home. Don’t you have conscience?” Jiang Jingcheng broke the silence in the car through laughing and joking. It was like that he teared a hole in silent chaos and made the atmosphere active immediately.
“Why did you get off work now? I didn’t arrange you much work. I’m not the kind of boss who squeezes employees. You are willing to send me home. You want to make progress in your own work, shouldn’t I give you a chance?” Gu Yan said and smiled. Jiang Jingcheng wanted to pass the buck, but she wouldn’t accept it.
Jiang Jingcheng said, “Well, look at you with the look of the unscrupulous capitalist! I work hard for you but get nothing! You are so ungrateful!” Under the active atmosphere, they both felt relaxed and joked at each other.
“Now the case of Zhongtu is basically finished, and you can be relieved. You don’t have to be worried every day, and make everyone in the studio nervous.” Jiang Jingcheng said.
The atmosphere of the whole studio was so nervous these days, especially Gu Yan. She attached more importance to the case of Zhongtu. She was very serious and almost didn’t smile, which brought much pressure to the whole studio. But now she could joke with Jiang Jingcheng. Seeing that, Jiang Jingcheng also felt relaxed.
Gu Yan recalled and thought that she was so serious these days indeed. It was really her fault. And then she said with a smile, “Well, from tomorrow on, as long as I enter the studio, I’ll grin and let all people know that I’m in a good mood. What do you think?” Gu Yan reflected on herself. She didn’t know that she had made the staff in the studio feel perplexed.
“Well, I don’t mean that. If you want to show your official authority, I can’t stop you. I’m just an employee. If you give me an order, I have to obey. There’s no other way!”
Being with Jiang Jingcheng, Gu Yan felt relaxed. Just like now, they were joking with each other. It seemed that it made the short distance shorter. It was really comfortable.
Seeing Gu Yan go upstairs, Jiang Jingcheng silently counted. When he looked up, he saw the light of Gu Yan’s home come up. It was so warm, but it didn’t belong to him. Jiang Jingcheng felt bitter, and the breath that Gu Yan left in the car made him uncomfortable. So, he opened the door and got out of the car to take fresh air.
After Gu Yan got home, she changed her shoes and stood by the window. She also wanted to get a breath of fresh air. Through the window, she saw that Jiang Jingcheng’s car still stopped downstairs. She saw him get off the car and stand beside it for a long time while smoking. Gu Yan didn’t turn back to the room until he got on the car and went away.
Jiang Jingcheng never concealed his thought. Gu Yan was not stupid and she knew everything. But what could she give to him? All the time, Jiang Jingcheng had paid too much for her. He had always been working hard for the studio and solving problems for her. It could be great, if… he was just a friend.
Gu Yan didn’t know what’s wrong with herself and why she had these messy ideas today. When she was with Mo Yichen, she never had so many ideas. Mo Yichen was just a person, but was like a world to her, bringing her sound and warmth. He was her armor and weakness. She knew that she had been taken totally.
She knew she would never lose this man.
Thinking that she hadn’t seen Mo Xiangyan for many days, Gu Yan was about to make a video call to Mo Yichen. But she was wearing formal clothes. If Mo Yichen saw that, he must know that she just got off work. So, she went into the bedroom and took a bath quickly. When she finished drying her hair, Mo Yichen’s call came.
They really had consonance. Gu Yan smiled.
She answered it immediately. The small face of Mo Xiangyan clung to the screen, and his delicate facial features were magnified.
Gu Yan felt warm and said, “Xiangyan, do you behave well at home? Does your head still hurt?”
