Smelling the familiar scent of the man, Song Fan’s heartbeat accelerated incessantly. She felt the rising temperature between them. She pushed with force but found that she couldn’t move Gu Chen at all.
“Answer me.” Gu Chen’s tone sounded like a command, yet also like a whisper. Song Fan felt her ears itching, and her face began to heat up.
“Miss Song, in a while, Brown Group…” Lan Yue opened the door and was shocked to see the ambiguous posture of the two, gaping in disbelief.
Almost instinctively, Song Fan took a step back, and Gu Chen’s grip loosened. Only then did she break free from his embrace.
“You guys may go on.” Lan Yue, wanting to close the door, was directly pulled by Song Fan. “What did you say about Brown Group?”
Song Fan struggled to calm her emotions, but it was evident that her mood was unstable, and her flushed face had not yet recovered.
Lan Yue stole a glance at the visibly unhappy Gu Chen and said, “It’s nothing. They just wanted to confirm the details of the collaboration. Since our contract discussion is almost complete, they wanted to know your thoughts.”
She knew how important this collaboration was to Song Fan. Even if it spoiled Gu Chen’s good mood, she had to finish discussing work matters.
Lan Yue cautiously hid behind Song Fan, afraid that Gu Chen would glare at her.
Song Fan, just wanting to get the matter straight, agreed for the representatives of Brown Group to come. “Fine, let’s do it at three in the afternoon. That should be enough time. You can leave now.”
Lan Yue felt like she had received a pardon and quickly nodded, even taking a box of osmanthus cake as she left. “This is especially delicious; I saved some for you.”
Seeing her act this way, Song Fan smiled and, turning around, caught sight of Gu Chen, who didn’t seem pleased. She awkwardly said, “You treat your subordinates well; aren’t you afraid they’re your father’s spies?”
She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth. The sweetness instantly filled her mouth, accompanied by the fragrance of osmanthus, making her feel pleasantly happy. After swallowing the osmanthus cake, Song Fan, in a good mood, said, “Rest assured, I’ve figured out everything about them.”
Looking at Gu Chen’s cold snort, she weakly asked, “Have you eaten? How about having some cafeteria food with me?”
Gu Chen glanced at the simple takeout boxes. He originally intended to refuse but, hearing Song Fan’s stomach growl, he nodded with a smile. “Occasionally experiencing some hardships of the common people is not bad.”
Song Fan quickly arranged the dishes, then somewhat helplessly gave him a look. “Yes, Young Master Gu can’t endure hardships, but you should know that some people can’t even afford to experience this kind of hardship.”
“Are you talking about the refugees you’ve taken in? Or is it from when you were a mercenary before?” Rarely did Song Fan mention her past, but Gu Chen, unintentionally, asked to learn more about her.
However, Song Fan just kept her head down and ate, then vaguely said, “Both, maybe.”
Knowing that she didn’t want to talk about those things, Gu Chen didn’t pursue it. Instead, he brought back the previous topic, “So, have you collaborated with Charlie for my sake?”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Song Fan didn’t expect him to return to this question, almost choking on her food.
Gu Chen patted her back lightly, and she felt somewhat relieved. She then explained, “The poisoning incident might be related to the Brown family. This is a breakthrough. Even if it’s not related to them, it doesn’t matter. As long as there is Snow Red Flower, I’m confident I can cure you. And he mentioned that there are others poisoned, so I suspect it might be related to Charlie’s elder brother, Jason?” Song Fan always felt like she had heard of Jason before, but she couldn’t recall who he was.
Especially since he understood medicine and could get Snow Red Flower, she couldn’t underestimate him.
“So, it’s still for me.” Gu Chen seemed to have not heard anything else, focusing on confirming this point.
Song Fan could only nod helplessly. “Yes, it’s all for you. So, now you can eat peacefully. Don’t keep staring at me, alright?”
The two finished their meal quickly. Gu Chen wasn’t used to such oily food, but luckily, he wasn’t picky. It was Song Fan who was single-mindedly thinking about the contract, which increased the speed of their meal.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Gu Chen cut the cake and handed her a piece.
Song Fan, not caring about her image, quickly devoured it with three bites. “I want to finalize the contract as soon as possible. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, why not stay and discuss it with us? After all, Gu Corporation is also involved.”
“I thought you only had eyes for Charlie and completely forgot about me.” Gu
Chen picked up another piece of cake and handed it to her, but his tone was full of sarcasm..
