CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: I DON’T BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD

Tang Yuxiu lowered his eyes, looking at Gu Yan with tender affection, but his words were meant for them.

"That’s just how she is. Even in urgent situations, she won’t tell me. If she just said a word, not to mention a million, even ten million wouldn’t be an issue. Why bother with such a strong facade?"

He spoke with deep emotion, yet Gu Yan remained in a state of blankness.

Gu Qin was left speechless, her heart filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

Why would Gu Yan suddenly have such an excellent man appear? Why should it be Gu Yan? It should have been her! How is she inferior to that wretched girl Gu Yan!

"So." Tang Yuxiu lifted his head, coldly sweeping his gaze over a few people, "I don’t believe a single word you’re saying, or do you think I’m so incompetent that I can’t even take care of a woman?"

President Liu certainly wouldn’t nod because that would be akin to courting death!

He plastered a flattering smile on his face, "President Tang, I sincerely apologize. I didn’t know she was your woman. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Gu Qin frowned, displeased, "President Liu..."

"Shut up!" President Liu glared at her fiercely, then continued to flatter Tang Yuxiu, "President Tang, I apologize. Let’s pretend today’s incident never happened. Next time I see Miss Gu, I’ll treat her as an honored guest. I won’t mention the accident where Miss Gu injured herself, and I’ll cover the medical expenses, as well as Miss Gu’s compensation for emotional distress—please don’t hesitate!"

By the end, President Liu nearly bowed ninety degrees, and before Tang Yuxiu could respond, he hurriedly added, "Well, we won’t disturb President Tang and Miss Gu any further. We’ll meet again if there’s an opportunity, farewell, farewell."

President Liu eagerly led his people away, looking like a wet dog.

After seeing President Liu leave, Gu Qin glanced at Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan with reluctance, gritted her teeth, and left as well.

Only after everyone had disappeared did Tang Yuxiu quickly release Gu Yan and step back several paces.

You Shuyang silently handed over a handkerchief.

Only then did Gu Yan remember that Tang Yuxiu had a severe cleanliness obsession, yet she had been filthy all over, clinging to him...

She hastily apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it!"

Tang Yuxiu wiped his hand, tossed the handkerchief back to You Shuyang, glanced at Gu Yan expressionlessly, and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling, stopping his steps and turning around.

Gu Yan had collapsed to the ground, completely weak, frowning tightly, occasionally letting a soft moan escape her lips, her hands clenching tightly as if trying to endure something.

The drugged wine had been wreaking havoc inside her, suppressed for so long that, with the crisis resolved, her consciousness was completely shattered, yet she was still trying hard to hold on.

Tang Yuxiu could never understand why that night he would disregard his cleanliness obsession to hold her, help her, and even now, after she fell, hesitated for two seconds before finally striding over, picking her up horizontally, and leaving Shengshi directly.

You Shuyang followed behind Tang Yuxiu, feeling completely out of sorts.

Was the person he saw tonight really the boss he had been loyal to for many years? Why did he seem so different?

Wherever Tang Yuxiu went, all eyes followed.

The hotel lobby staff, including the security at the door, gazed at the figure of the man who was so high above, carrying a woman briskly out, slightly stunned.

Suddenly, they wanted to know who that woman was, who could receive his personal care.
