Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 396 - 398: Gu Tiantian, I’m Sorry

In Cheng Junnan’s heart, he knew long ago that Gu Tiantian would not accept him so easily, and today he called her over, really just to chat.

Even though he had many things he wanted to say to Gu Tiantian, he also knew that today, the timing wasn’t right for that situation.

Flashes in his mind: previously, when he approached Gu Tiantian, she’d suddenly frowned.

"Tian Tian, do you not like people who drink to get close to you?"

Not knowing why Cheng Junnan was answering irrelevantly, or whether he had actually heard what she said, Gu Tiantian nodded without hesitation.

Not just dislike, it was more like disgust.

Moreover, she figured very few people like someone reeking of alcohol getting close to them!

"I’m really sorry, Tian Tian, today I... wanted to see you, but didn’t expect to actually meet you, so... don’t worry, such a thing won’t happen next time."

Gu Tiantian didn’t pay much attention to what Cheng Junnan was saying, as her focus shifted to the time.

She’d been out for a considerable amount of time, and it was almost seven when she came downstairs after dinner—it’s getting late.

How could Cheng Junnan not catch her thoughts, his warm and handsome face, with eyes as deep as ink, flickered with a trace of light.

"It’s late, let me take you back."

Gu Tiantian quickly shook her head and spoke promptly.

"President Cheng, I can go back myself."

If he were to take her again, she’d be nervous.

Seeing Gu Tiantian’s concern, Cheng Junnan felt a bit frustrated inside; why did he drink in the car? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have missed this opportunity.

"How about this, I’ll call a driver right away to take you back."

Before Gu Tiantian could speak, Cheng Junnan explained gently.

"At this hour, it’s very hard to get a cab around here."

Gu Tiantian suddenly remembered, this was East Second Ring, bustling and complex, with skyscrapers everywhere, usually crowded with people and cars during the day, but very desolate at night.

Nobody would want to walk around here after working a whole day during the day; this area was primarily for work, not residential.

Knowing that Cheng Junnan was telling the truth, Gu Tiantian didn’t refuse again.

Ten minutes later, the driver Cheng Junnan called arrived.

The two left Qing Garden, and right as Gu Tiantian was getting into the car and about to close the door, Cheng Junnan suddenly spoke. His voice wasn’t loud, but because the night was so quiet, she heard it clearly.

"Gu Tiantian, I’m sorry!"

Gu Tiantian was a bit surprised; she didn’t even have time to figure out what Cheng Junnan was apologizing for before she saw him give her a gentle smile and then close the car door.

When she returned home, it was already nine-thirty. Grandma hadn’t gone to bed yet, and her uncle was sitting in the living room as well. The two of them were chatting while glancing at the entrance.

"Grandma, Uncle, I’m back."

A bit embarrassed, as it was rare for her to come back this late.

Of course, excluding when she’s working.

Grandma Gu, used to this, knowing her granddaughter sometimes worked late, smiled cheerfully and asked her.

"Tian Tian, were you working overtime?"

Thinking she hadn’t told Grandma about her resignation yet, Gu Tiantian smiled and shook her head.

"No, I ran into a friend downstairs and chatted for a while. As for the company... Grandma, I’ve already resigned."

Grandma Gu slightly paused, then followed with a smile.

"It’s good you resigned; that job always seemed exhausting, it’s better to leave early and find another job. For a young lady, constant overtime work isn’t very good!"
