Chapter 471: V356: Gu Zixuan wondered, could this have been worn down by Shen Jian妮?
Two nights without sleep left He Qimo looking terribly concerned.With a furrowed brow, He Qimo said, "Take a rest before going."
Thinking about the tasks to be done and the materials to be checked today.
Zixuan shook her head, "Let’s go."
The place Gu Zixuan said to go is Junsheng. At this moment, if there’s any chance of her father being involved in a financial scandal, the only place they can think of is their own company.
As long as their company’s accounts have no issues, they both believe in their father’s integrity, that he would never embezzle or take bribes.
Then all problems will be resolved...
As for Liang Shiman... and whoever is causing trouble behind the scenes.
Gu Zixuan’s heart trembled as she looked at He Qimo, who was full of concern and would have willingly revealed his inner thoughts for her. She thought about the compromises and efforts he’s made to preserve her reputation.
With a gentle ripple in her eyes, Gu Zixuan couldn’t bring herself to say another word...
Gu Zixuan was resolute, and He Qimo could see the inner struggle hiding beneath her exterior.
With tightly pressed lips, he really didn’t think this was a good decision.
He just thought about the things Shen Jian妮 once taught him, and the reasons Gu Zixuan couldn’t love him in the past. He glanced at Gu Zixuan’s abdomen, feeling a bitter sense of loss...
He averted his gaze, ultimately choosing to compromise, "Okay, but there’s still some distance to the company. Promise me you’ll close your eyes and rest a bit before I start working. Will you?"
With a mix of assertiveness and gentle indulgence, Gu Zixuan was taken aback, "You..."
He Qimo, being perceptive, naturally sensed what she was thinking. After all, he couldn’t deny that one day, he would also compromise because of a woman’s words, though the exposure left him awkward and he felt his expression stiffen.
He couldn’t say anything more, so he leaned over to adjust the seatback for Gu Zixuan and took the blanket from the car to cover her.
He coldly said, "Hurry up and sleep."
Then he started the car, pressed the accelerator, and drove towards Junsheng Company.
On the way, the two remained silent without speaking.
But that didn’t mean their thoughts were stagnant and silent.
Especially since they understood each other previously.
Gu Zixuan wondered if this was influenced by Shen Jian妮?
He Qimo physically expressed it—could it be anyone else?
So, the chill around them let Gu Zixuan sense He Qimo’s mindset.
He Qimo was probably thinking, ’Zixuan, whenever you had a small tantrum compared to Shen Jian妮, you were truly an angel... In the past, I was indeed too self-centered and treated you unfairly.’
Gu Zixuan couldn’t help but curl her lips in a soft laugh, her heart relaxing slightly.
In his peripheral vision, He Qimo saw the curve of Gu Zixuan’s lips and felt even more depressed and irritated.
Honestly, he initially sought Shen Jian妮 purely for utilitarian reasons.
But he couldn’t understand how it developed into the scene today.
His body’s unconscious betrayal made him realize that every time he met Gu Zixuan, some of his feelings inexplicably stalled a bit, and he began to feel unworthy to talk to Gu Zixuan about "love."
This emotional estrangement made him feel anxious.
It seemed, since his body started betraying him, he began to gradually betray the self he had been steadfastly for ten years.
Thinking about the sudden surge of emotion last night when facing Shen Jian妮, he felt even colder.
With thin, tightened lips, he pressed the accelerator harder, swiftly heading towards Junsheng...
