Gu Jinxi came over and stood with Gu Shiyan. His eyes were shining as he stared at Gu Ziheng, who was following behind Lu Miao.

He said coldly, ” Second Sister-in-law has just returned and this fellow is already occupying Second Sister-in-law’s time. Second Brother, this brother shouldn’t stay for long!”

Gu Shiyan turned around and looked at him faintly. “You’re absolutely right. Later, you can go back to the Gu family with him.”

“Alright, Second Brother, don’t worry. I promise to complete the mission. I’ll definitely keep an eye on him and not give him the chance to take Second Sister-in-law away again.”Gu Jinxi patted his chest and promised smugly.

Turning around to go upstairs, he was ready to seize Gu Ziheng the moment he appeared and whisk him away.

He had waited long enough; it was already past ten in the evening when Gu

Ziheng finally emerged from Lu Miao’s room with a flushed face,

Gu Jinxi immediately approached him and caught hold of Gu Ziheng, who was heading towards the adjacent room. With a self-sacrificing demeanor, he dragged him downstairs and shoved him into the car.

It wasn’t until they returned to the Gu estate that Gu Jinxi realized something was amiss.

Wait a second, if he returned with Gu Ziheng, watching him every step of the way, wouldn’t that mean he couldn’t go to Lingyue Manor to find Second Sister-in-law either?

Second Brother clearly intended to chase him away along with Gu Ziheng!

This was going too far!

The next morning, Lu Miao got up and headed downstairs, surprised to find that Gu Shiyan hadn’t left yet. Glancing at the time, it was almost nine o’clock.

Usually by this time, Gu Shiyan would have already held early meetings and dealt with a bunch of official matters.

Approaching the dining table, she poured a glass of milk and downed it in one gulp. “I have something to do. I’m heading out now; you can take your time eating.”

With that, she hurriedly left.

As Gu Shiyan’s hand was reaching out to get dessert for her, he paused, watching her leave, and then looked at the fully-laden breakfast table in front of him. His appetite vanished completely. He calmly put down his utensils, wiped his hands on a napkin, and slowly got up before leaving.

“Second Master, the longevity noodles are ready. Has Miao Miao not woken up

yet…”

Auntie Xiu squatted, carrying two bowls of fragrant longevity noodles out of the kitchen, only to find that both the dining room and living room were empty.

Puzzled, she wondered, where did everyone go?

He had been instructed by Second Master to make the noodles later so that he could eat them together with Miao Miao after she woke up. How did it suddenly go from waiting for her to eating together to her not being there at all? A heavy, oppressive atmosphere hung over the entire Gu Building throughout the day.

All the employees trembled in fear, even afraid to speak loudly.

In the employee group chat, messages were flying wildly.

“What’s going on? A couple of days ago, Mr. Gu still seemed so cheerful. Why is he so irritable today?”

“Yeah, yeah, I remember Secretarv Lin mentioned before that he had applied

for a flight route to pick up the young madam for Mr. Boss yesterday.” “Could they be arguing?

“How could that be? Mr. Gu looks like a doting husband. If they were really arguing, he’d probably slap himself awake in the middle of the night.” “Then could it be… some kind of intimacy issue?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. Mr. Boss looks fit and strong. Those broad shoulders, that perfect waist-hip ratio…”

“Hey, stop drooling upstairs. Even if Mr. Boss has a great figure, it’s still the young madam’s.”

“Otherwise, let’s help Mr. Boss? As the saying goes, unconventional methods cure big problems. Quickly look for any effective remedies that can quickly boost Mr. Boss’s confidence.”

“Cough, cough, it’s working hours. Don’t discuss things that aren’t work-related.”

“Secretary Lin is here. Quickly spill any insider information. Is it really because of that… um…”

“Cough, cough.”

“Secretary Lin, are you feeling unwell today too? Do you want us to help you find some unconventional methods?”

“Everyone’s monthly bonuses will be deducted, and we’ll have a collective overtime tonight.”

The lively group chat suddenly fell silent.

The commanding tone of the president, the arrogant demeanor…

They couldn’t believe their eyes as they glanced at the name at the top, GU.

Rubbing their eyes, they confirmed they weren’t mistaken.

A collective gasp swept through everyone. Could someone please explain why Mr. Boss was in the employee group chat?!

Wait a second, what did they just say?

That Mr. Boss was lacking in a certain department, people were drooling over his physique, and they wanted to find unconventional methods to restore his confidence…

This was like a massive collective cringe-fest!

In an instant, the space within the entire Gu Building expanded by more than double. Everyone mentally assembled a three-bedroom, one-living room set right on the spot!

Then, within the group chat, a frantic wave of message retractions began, as if they feared being caught by the enraged Mr. Boss. Anyone unable to retract messages after two minutes started bombarding the administrator, desperately asking to disband the employee group chat. Some even turned to Secretary Lin to lament why he hadn’t warned them.

The entire Gu Corporation seemed to have gone into a state of chaos.

Inside the secretary’s office, Secretary Lin raised a hand to cover his face, almost unable to bear looking at it.

He had actually sent them a reminder the moment she saw those messages. When the employee group chat was initially created, Mr. Gu was present, so she directly added him.

Over the years, Mr. Gu had never said a single word in the group chat, so no one ever noticed.

He never expected them to discuss such matters in the group.

Gu Shiyan sat behind his desk, his face growing darker by the second.

The tips of his fingers holding the phone turned white.

If phones could scream, by now it would probably be wailing and howling in utter misery.

Finally, it was time to get off work in the afternoon. However, Gu Shiyan sat in his office with a stern face, staring at the phone on his desk, showing no intention of leaving for home.

In the wintertime, the days were naturally short, and it wasn’t until the sky

Gu Shiyan reached out and picked up the phone, opening the message, only to find that it was an advertisement.

Rubbing his face with his hand, he let out a sigh. What was he sulking about? He knew well that she had a cold disposition, and forgetting to bring him a gift, or not remembering his birthday, was typical of her.

Resignedly, he got up and left the office, immediately receiving a notification from the newly created employee group chat.

Everyone immediately leaned against the windows to look outside. It wasn’t until they saw his car drive away that the employees throughout the entire Gu Corporation heaved a sigh of relief, slumping down in their seats one by one.

Sob, sob, sob, the low-pressure Mr. Boss was truly terrifying!!!

The snow from yesterday was quite heavy, and a thick layer covered the streets. A young couple walked closely by, the girl holding a string of brightly colored sugar-coated haws in her hand. She sweetly smiled and lifted it to the boy’s lips.

Though the weather was cold, warm smiles adorned their faces.

Passing by Sanmu Street, Gu Shiyan parked his car, got out, and bought a box of taro paste that Lu Miao liked. He also noticed the vibrant and appealing sugar-coated haws at the nearby counter.
