When Yan Xi left the Medical University, it was already three in the afternoon.

  The neon lights on the street lit up. While she waited for her car, she saw the promotional video for the movie playing on the big screen of the commercial building opposite.

  This is a love movie. It’s about the heroine traveling back in time when she’s getting old, saving her first love, who died in an accident, and smoothing out the regrets of her life. At the end of the movie, the lovers finally get married.

  She and Gu Shen would be the same.

  Yan Xi firmly believed that she would go through the thin and thick with Gu Shen and help him get back on his feet.

  They would walk hand in hand in the backyard. When she was tired, she could jump onto Gu Shen’s back and let him carry her.

  They would be together for years to come.

  The car soon arrived. Yan Xi did not return to the Jingnan Villa first but went to Zhou Xu’s laboratory.

  She was very happy today. When she pushed the door open, there was a smile on her lips and her eyes curved like shallow crescents.

  Zhou Xu could not help but ask, “Senior, you look very happy.”


  Of course, every girl would be very happy before a date. Yan Xi wanted to show off, but she was afraid that it would hurt Zhou Xu because he was still a bachelor.

  Putting on a serious expression, she said, “I’ve already sent the pictures to the Medical University’s laboratory for analysis. Have you prepared the experimental equipment here?”


  “It’s ready.”


  Yan Xi nodded. “I still have something on tomorrow night. You need to observe the results yourself. Send the report to me through email.”


  Zhou Xu agreed, but he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Senior, what appointment do you have?” After asking, he realized that he had said too much and looked at Yan Xi nervously.

  Yan Xi was in a good mood now, so she didn’t mind answering, “I’m going to have a movie date.”


  “With Mr. Gu?”


  Yan Xi rolled her eyes. “Isn’t it obvious?”


  Zhou Xu smiled embarrassedly. “Have fun, then.”


  The relaxed atmosphere stopped abruptly when they arrived at the laboratory. The two of them changed into their white coats and put on their masks. Their expressions became serious again.

  “Record the experimental data. Don’t make any mistakes.”


  “Yes.”


  …


  Gu Shen took this date very seriously. He instructed Secretary Chen to order popcorn, coke, and other snacks that Yan Xi liked.

  He specially asked Secretary Chen, “What else do I need to prepare for the movie?”


  Secretary Chen answered genuinely, “Usually, there are also all kinds of milk tea drinks in the cinema. You can ask what the girl likes.”


  What did she like? Gu Shen lowered his eyes to recall how Yan Xi was salivating over the chestnuts and sweet potatoes.

  “Order some chestnuts and sweet potatoes and send them to the villa tomorrow.” After a pause, Gu Shen said, “Send some today too.”


  “Okay.”


  When Secretary Chen went out, she happened to bump into Gu Er. She leaned over and whispered in his ear happily, “I feel that President Gu and Madam’s relationship is getting better and better. When he talks about Madam, his face lights up.”


  Gu Er sighed and looked worried. “President Gu won’t be able to smile soon.”


  “What is it?”


  “Yan Dong is here.”


  As soon as Gu Er finished speaking, Yan Dong walked over from behind. Secretary Chen stopped smiling and nodded at Yan Dong coldly before walking straight out.

  Yan Dong had come this time for the development of the shops in the city center. For some reason, he felt uncertain, as if there was something he had yet to double check.

  Moreover, he heard from others that Yan Xi and Gu Shen had been very close recently. A few days ago, someone even saw them drinking a cup of milk tea and peeling chestnuts together.

  However, Yan Dong did not believe it. With Yan Xi’s personality, it was already a miracle that Gu Shen did not despise her. How could he get along with her sweetly? Moreover, his daughter did not eat chestnuts at all. Perhaps the girl with Gu Shen was another one.

  Yan Dong didn’t care about this. Anyway, his daughter had already cut ties with him. Even if she died in the Gu family, he wouldn’t be bothered. All he cared about now was whether his project in the city center could go smoothly.

  Soon, Yan Dong was led into the CEO’s office.

  “President Gu.” Gu Er said, “President Yan is here.”


  Gu Shen did not even look up. His expression was cold. “Everything has been explained in the contract. What are you here for?”
