Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 418 - 420: Coming Back Early

With a slight raise of his brow, Bai Chenyao curved his lips, and the coldness in his eyes lessened a bit.

However, all of Gu Tiantian’s focus was on not letting Bai Chenyao discover her lie, so she didn’t notice at all.

"Tomorrow night at eight, pick me up at the airport!"

Gu Tiantian was stunned, so much that she forgot to hide it.

"Huh?"

She looked up, a touch of astonishment in her eyes.

Clearly, she found it unbelievable.

Noticing Bai Chenyao’s indifferent and cold demeanor in the video, Gu Tiantian realized her attitude wasn’t right. Her expression needed to be joyful at this moment!

"Um... sorry, A Yao, I... I really didn’t expect this."

"It’s really great that you can come back early!"

"Hehe... hehe..."

Gu Tiantian laughed foolishly while looking at Bai Chenyao in the video, her mind racing quickly.

Bai Chenyao is not an easygoing person, and he’s very shrewd. One careless move and she could end up in deep trouble. Just now, if she wasn’t careful enough, it might have aroused Bai Chenyao’s suspicion.

"A Yao, you suddenly coming back so many days early, regarding work... don’t overwork yourself. Though I wish for your return, health is the foundation of everything."

Bai Chenyao remained indifferent, and Gu Tiantian couldn’t read his thoughts. Just as she was about to continue with those sweet words, Bai Chenyao spoke first.

"Tomorrow, I want to see just how happy you are!"

Hearing Bai Chenyao’s words, Gu Tiantian’s heart skipped a beat.

The implication was that if Bai Chenyao returned tomorrow and she didn’t display genuine happiness, then no matter what she said today, Bai Chenyao would attribute her words to deceit.

People abhor being deceived, and Bai Chenyao had reminded her about it more than once.

At this thought, a hint of fear arose in Gu Tiantian’s heart.

Watching Bai Chenyao pick up his chopsticks and elegantly begin to eat, Gu Tiantian finally exhaled a long breath.

Still, she dared not relax, staying vigilant at all times, fearing Bai Chenyao might say something she couldn’t handle.

Apart from the initial unease before eating, Bai Chenyao didn’t speak again, and Gu Tiantian didn’t dare to speak rashly either.

After finishing, Bai Chenyao was the first to terminate the video.

The tightly wound up Gu Tiantian collapsed into her chair completely.

Her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Undoubtedly, Bai Chen knows she lied.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things.

At this thought, cold sweat broke out on Gu Tiantian’s back.

Bai Chenyao hasn’t yet returned, and the fear in her heart is already so heavy; when Bai Chenyao does come back, Gu Tiantian simply can’t imagine.

What to do, what to do?

Gu Tiantian stood up, even forgetting that she was still in the dining room, pacing anxiously.

Hearing the commotion outside, Mrs. Chen came in, seeing Gu Tiantian pacing around the dining room with a faintly pale face and an anxious look, she was slightly surprised.

"Miss Gu, what’s wrong, is there something going on?"

Only then did Gu Tiantian snap out of it, and seeing Mrs. Chen, her feelings were indescribable.

Staring at Mrs. Chen, Gu Tiantian hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

"Mrs. Chen, um... cough, cough... what do you do when your husband is in a bad mood?"

Hearing Gu Tiantian’s words, Mrs. Chen immediately understood the situation.

When sir is in a bad mood... To be honest, as just the hired help, they rarely see it.

Not that they haven’t seen it, but when they do, they naturally minimize their presence, wishing they could find a hole to hide in and disappear from sir’s view to avoid any trouble.
