Chapter 462: Chapter 464: Not Necessarily Inevitable
After returning from the walk, having gone quite a distance, Gu Tiantian was a bit tired.
However, thinking of the mess in the kitchen, after Bai Chenyao entered the study, Gu Tiantian went to the kitchen.
If Mrs. Chen were here, Gu Tiantian wouldn’t have to handle all this at all.
Looking at the pile of dishes and utensils, Gu Tiantian felt like she had bitten off more than she could chew.
Fortunately, she loves cooking and is quite fond of the kitchen; otherwise, she’d probably go mad!
Quickly washing the dishes and utensils, then cleaning the kitchen again, after washing her hands, Gu Tiantian returned to the bedroom to find hand cream to apply before finally exiting the bedroom.
She glanced at the time and saw it was half past three in the afternoon.
Realizing that she and Bai Chenyao had a meal that was neither dinner nor lunch, Gu Tiantian’s mouth twitched.
Originally intending to read a book, but thinking Bai Chenyao was now in the study, Gu Tiantian opted for a compromise.
Returning to the bedroom, she picked up her phone and called Zhang Haiyang.
"Tiantian, Haiyang hasn’t woken up yet, but we’ve already returned to his bachelor apartment, so you don’t need to worry."
Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was Cheng Junnan, leaving Gu Tiantian a bit dumbfounded.
"President Cheng, why are you still there?"
Gu Tiantian thought, as the company president, Cheng Junnan’s relationship with Zhang Haiyang, no matter how good, wouldn’t extend to spending a whole day and night together, right?
Especially after Zhang Haiyang got drunk, which made it even more unbelievable.
A tender, melodious chuckle came from the phone, followed by Cheng Junnan gently explaining to her.
"Tiantian, my relationship with Haiyang isn’t just boss and subordinate; we’re friends and have been for a long time. It’s just that very few people at the company know."
Gu Tiantian blinked dazily, responding with an absent-minded "Oh."
Suddenly, the thought of Zhang Haiyang saying he was going to get married flashed through her mind.
"Then, President Cheng, do you know that Brother Zhang is getting married?"
On the other end, Cheng Junnan’s laughter paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was noticeably lower, tinged with a bit of melancholy.
"Yes, isn’t that why he drowned his worries in alcohol?"
Gu Tiantian gently agreed, and after a long pause, she slowly spoke.
"Does he have to marry Dai Ke’er? Is there no room for negotiation?"
"If there was, he wouldn’t be acting like this now."
"Tiantian, the Zhang Family isn’t as simple as you think. There are many things, you’re not involved, so you don’t know the complexities."
Gu Tiantian furrowed her brows, her voice carrying a hint of confusion.
"But Brother Zhang doesn’t want to, right?"
Cheng Junnan sighed softly, slowly explaining to her.
"What good is his unwillingness? It’s because he bears the Zhang name. Unless he doesn’t, the marriage with Dai Ke’er could be called off. But would he be willing?"
Not bearing the Zhang name, how is that possible?
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, giving a sense of discomfort.
Gu Tiantian pursed her lips, saying nothing more.
On the other end, sensing her downcast mood, Cheng Junnan gently comforted her.
"Tiantian, don’t overthink it. Haiyang isn’t someone who easily falls; it’s just hard for him to accept, hence the drinking."
"Oh, by the way, this marriage isn’t necessarily set in stone."
Originally feeling distressed, Gu Tiantian’s eyes suddenly brightened.
"President Cheng, what do you mean by that?"
Previously, wasn’t it said to be a sure thing?
Unless Brother Zhang isn’t part of the Zhang Family, wouldn’t that mean severing ties with the Zhang Family?
Instead of elaborating why, Cheng Junnan gently explained to her.
"As for why, wait until Haiyang wakes up and have him tell you himself."
