Chapter 693 A sure answer

Because it was getting late, Jiang Jingcheng directly told Gu Yan about his work arrangements. Although Gu Yan had not worked in the studio for a long time, she still quickly entered the working state when Jiang Jingcheng began to report the work matters to her. Even though Gu Yan was listening to him, in her heart, she was still slightly worried about Mo Yichen.

“There is a meeting later about this program. Since you’re here, why don’t you join us?”

Jiang Jingcheng looked at his watch and saw that it was time for the meeting. He had told Gu Yan a lot of things, but with Gu Yan’s talent in designing, he was sure that she could totally adapt to the rhythm. Therefore, without hesitation, he invited her to the meeting, which he thought that she should be interested in.

In fact, while Jiang Jingcheng kept his attention on talking about the work, he totally failed to notice Gu Yan’s strangeness. When he said the last sentence and got no response from her for quite a while, he finally raised his head to look at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan stared outside the window as if looking into the distance, but he could not feel the focus in Gu Yan’s eyes.

Her desolate expression made Jiang Jingcheng’s heart twitch. “What’s wrong with her?” he wondered. To be honest, ever since Gu Yan started dating Mo Yichen, Jiang Jingcheng had rarely seen her unhappy. Although he didn’t want to admit it, he could feel her joy and happiness when she was with Mo Yichen.

But now, there seemed to be something wrong with her.

“Gu Yan? Gu Yan?” he called her twice, and she was jolted out of her reverie.

“Huh? Oh, were you talking about the meeting? What meeting? Let’s go.”

Only then did Gu Yan come back to her senses. Seeing that Jiang Jingcheng was looking at her worriedly, she felt a little guilty. Jiang Jingcheng had been patiently explaining work matters to her, but she was absent-minded at this time and had only heard part of what he had said.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Jingcheng was still suspicious. After all, she had not been around for so long. She did not necessarily have to attend this meeting. Her state just made him feel uneasy.

“Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Gu Yan forced herself to cheer up. Since she was already in the studio, she had to put on a work-like appearance. It was quite inappropriate for her to keep thinking about personal matters.

She forced a smile, which Jiang Jingcheng even thought was worse than crying, so he was more convinced now that she must have some concerns. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be like this.

However, since Gu Yan had already said that she was fine, he could not question her any further. He just assumed that she might be too tired after a busy day yesterday when she had been on the road for most of the day and came to work right away. Thinking of this, he was a little relaxed.

In any case, he was right by Gu Yan’s side. No matter what happened to her, he could still take care of her. He would keep an eye on her. Everything would be fine.

With this in mind, he was less worried. Since he would also attend the meeting, he wouldn’t allow anything to go wrong.

“Let’s go.” He was a gentleman and let Gu Yan go first, so Gu Yan directly walked ahead of him.

Everyone in the meeting room was waiting for Jiang Jingcheng. When they saw Gu Yan coming in, they were all a little surprised. After all, they had heard about what happened with Mo Yichen. Now that Gu Yan had returned, did that mean that the crisis was resolved?

Everyone couldn’t help whispering under the table. Gu Yan had noticed this, but she just pretended not to see it. Since she was the boss, she said a few words casually and then asked Jiang Jingcheng to take the chair. Jiang Jingcheng didn’t refuse and directly began to talk about work. When everyone saw Jiang Jingcheng began to work, they also stopped whispering.

Everyone was listening to him seriously, except for Gu Manman.

Gu Manman didn’t know why Gu Yan had returned so quickly. She had heard from her cousin that the matters of Mo’s family hadn’t been settled yet. Why had Gu Yan returned now?

Gu Manman was dissatisfied. No matter how she looked at Gu Yan, she didn’t like her at all. Gu Manman hadn’t even heard a single word of what Jiang Jingcheng had said. Now Gu Yan came back. Gu Manman felt that Jiang Jingcheng must be seduced by Gu Yan again. Just looking at Gu Yan already made Gu Manman feel uncomfortable all over.

Although Jiang Jingcheng was talking seriously, he sneaked a peek at Gu Yan out of the corner of his eye from time to time. Gu Yan did not focus on the meeting at all. Jiang Jingcheng could not help worrying that something might have happened to her.

“Let’s take a break.” Jiang Jingcheng could tell that something was wrong with Gu Yan and could no longer pretend not to see.

So he suspended the meeting and let everyone have a rest, as their bodies were a little stiff after such a long meeting. Hearing his words, the people stood up and walked out of the meeting room, except Jiang Jingcheng, Gu Yan, and Gu Manman, who did not move at all.

“Gu Yan, what happened to you?” Jiang Jingcheng didn’t notice that Gu Manman hadn’t left the meeting room yet, and asked Gu Yan with concern immediately. It was impossible for him not to worry about her while seeing her expression. Even though he asked this question, he was not sure if she would open her heart to him.

“I’m fine, really. I just didn’t rest well yesterday. Don’t worry about me,” Gu Yan replied.

As for Mo Yichen’s matter, it was just all her guess. She did not even know what Mo Yichen was really thinking. She was just burdening herself with unpleasant thoughts, but she was indeed in a bad state today and had interfered with Jiang Jingcheng’s work. She felt a little sorry for him.

How could she let Jiang Jingcheng worry about her again?

Hearing Gu Yan say that she was fine, Jiang Jingcheng did not know if she really meant it or just replied perfunctorily, but since she did not want to open her mind to him, he could not force her. Now that she said she was tired, she should go back home and have a good rest. But there were chances that Gu Yan might not listen to him, if he asked her to go home.

Of course, all of this was witnessed by Gu Manman. She was full of hatred now and gritted her teeth with anger. She had tried so hard to please Jiang Jingcheng, but he actually humbled himself in front of Gu Yan like this. Gu Manman was very jealous, but what could she do?
