CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: SURVEILLANCE?

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s demeanor, how could Ling Tianyou possibly be at ease?

"Since you’re at home watching dramas, why not come to the company with me!"

Rather than leaving her at home, he might as well have her by his side, saving him from worrying about her safety at the company.

Gu Ningyue immediately shook her head, "No way! There are too many people at your company; I don’t want to be watched like a monkey!"

Being watched is one thing, but then they’ll gossip behind my back.

Though she’s not the original owner and doesn’t care that much, no one likes diving into trouble willingly!

Ling Tianyou gently stroked her long hair, soothingly coaxing, "I promise you, as long as I’m there, no one will give you a second glance. How about that?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t speak; she was hesitating.

In truth, even at home, she was unsure if she could really stay awake.

Ever since returning from Lingyue Temple, although the previous restlessness was gone, the drowsiness buried in her heart seemed to grow stronger.

What exactly went wrong? Shouldn’t even this drowsiness be suppressed?

"When we get back, I’ll take you anywhere you want to eat." Ling Tianyou sweetened the deal.

At his words, Gu Ningyue looked up, "Really?"

She remembered Lin Ruixian had opened a Japanese restaurant in City A. She wasn’t sure if it was still there.

With Ling Tianyou around, she could take the opportunity to find out.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Of course."

"Alright." Gu Ningyue agreed immediately, "I’ll go to the company with you!"

Ling Tianyou didn’t think much about it, having her change her clothes and taking her to the company.

Whatever method was used, this time, Gu Ningyue wasn’t surrounded at all.

Not only wasn’t she ogled, but there wasn’t a single piece of gossip behind her back.

The assistant led Gu Ningyue to the lounge, placing magazines and fruit on the table.

Additionally, the assistant poured Gu Ningyue a cup of coffee.

"Young Madam, please enjoy."

Gu Ningyue expressed her thanks, curiously asking, "Did President Ling say something before coming to the company? Why is the company so quiet today?"

The assistant chuckled, "President Ling called me in advance, saying the Young Madam would be inspecting the company. He told me to issue a notice that anyone who dares to gossip or stare would be sacked."

Gu Ningyue chuckled lightly, "Me, inspecting the company?"

As a fiancée kept at home by Ling Tianyou, what was there to inspect?

To see if there were any glamorous female secretaries around Ling Tianyou?

"Yes! President Ling mentioned before that after the wedding, 30% of the company’s shares would be transferred to the Young Madam’s name." The assistant looked at Gu Ningyue, "Young Madam, feel free. I’ll go prepare the materials President Ling needs."

Gu Ningyue nodded, still immersed in the shock from the assistant’s revelation.

What does this mean? They’ve just known each other for such a short time, and Ling Tianyou already wants to give 30% of the shares to her?

Gu Ningyue rubbed her temples, realizing that while she’s hiding more and more from Ling Tianyou, isn’t this becoming a bit too much?

"Knock knock~"

There was a knocking sound from outside, and moments later, a woman dressed in a suit walked in.

Gu Ningyue looked up in confusion. The woman had a pleasant appearance, with a clear name tag on her chest reading: "Hua Ningcan."

This name sounded more like an ID?

"Hello, Young Madam, President Ling was worried you might get bored, so he asked me to come chat with you."

Gu Ningyue paused, "Please, have a seat."

Since she was Ling Tianyou’s employee, Gu Ningyue couldn’t just kick her out.

After all, this was Ling Tianyou’s company.

Hua Ningcan looked at the cover of the magazine in Gu Ningyue’s hands, her eyes sparkling, "Young Madam is even more beautiful than this magazine cover. If you were a model or actress, you’d probably be famous in no time."

Gu Ningyue flipped the cover over, the woman on it was elegant and stunning, "Really? I think she’s more beautiful."

At least, that’s what she thought.

Hua Ningcan laughed, "Young Madam is very modest. In terms of figure, this model can’t compare to you. President Ling is truly fortunate to have met someone as beautiful as you."

No doubt, Hua Ningcan was very articulate.

Gu Ningyue put down the magazine, sizing up Hua Ningcan.

Though she looked no more than two years older, she had an elegance about her.

Her gaze, somewhat complex.

"Are you the manager of the PR department?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Hua Ningcan nodded, "Yes, I am!"

Gu Ningyue said flatly, "At your age, to reach this position, that’s impressive."

The head of the PR department, no wonder Hua Ningcan was so good with words.

"You’re too kind, Young Madam." Hua Ningcan looked at Gu Ningyue, "Compared to you, I’m just someone earning limited money in a limited time. There’s still a big gap between me and someone like you who was born winning."

Had anyone else said this, Gu Ningyue would have thought she was being sarcastic, mocking her being cast out of the Gu Family.

But when Hua Ningcan said it, she didn’t feel offended.

"Do you like Ling Tianyou?" After some deliberation, Gu Ningyue voiced her suspicion.

Hua Ningcan hadn’t expected Gu Ningyue to discover her secret nor to be asked so directly, causing her polite smile to stiffen momentarily.

Afterward, she appeared a bit flustered.

Gu Ningyue observed this reaction, her suspicions confirmed, and a smile spread across her face.

Indeed, this woman likes Ling Tianyou.

She should’ve known long ago; with Ling Tianyou’s background and looks, how could there be no one at the company who liked him?

If there weren’t, it would only mean President Ling was exceptionally unsuccessful.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you." Gu Ningyue reopened the magazine, "Too many people like him; if I fired them all, only men would be left in the company."

Hua Ningcan sighed in relief, asking Gu Ningyue, "Young Madam, how did you figure it out?"

No one in the company had noticed her secret admiration for Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue was the first to see through it, piquing her curiosity.

"I’m not sure, just a feeling!" Gu Ningyue smiled, "A woman’s intuition."

Hua Ningcan didn’t believe her, "Young Madam, you’re joking."

Gu Ningyue casually flipped through the magazine, leisurely saying, "How I found out isn’t important. What’s important is whether a third person will know about this."

"What does the Young Madam mean by this?" Hua Ningcan’s recently relaxed demeanor grew cautious.

Gu Ningyue casually replied, "It’s nothing much, really. I just happen to like your President Ling, so I’m curious about the company’s happenings!"

Hua Ningcan hesitated, "Young Madam, are you hoping I keep an eye on President Ling?"
