As for Gu Yan, although she needed to put on makeup to cover her puffy eyes, she had only applied light makeup to make her eyes less swollen. If she did not do some cover-up, others would only guess at what had happened to her.

After Gu Yan tidied herself up, she went to the studio. She had her own specific arrangements for work every day, and since she was going to instruct Gu Manman today, she had to squeeze time out of her working schedule. Gu Yan wanted to stay after work, but she had a lot of things to do, and Gu Manman might not be willing to be alone with her.

Gu Yan did not want to think too much about it. She packed up and went to work. To her surprise, although she came to the studio so early, Gu Manman arrived before she did. This inevitably reduced some of the unwillingness in Gu Yan’s heart that at least Gu Manman was not hopeless as she had imagined.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Gu Yan walked to Gu Manman’s side, whose body suddenly stiffened, as she was not ready to face her boss in this way. However, Gu Yan did not give her a chance to be bashful. It was better for them to get through the guidance as soon as possible. Now, she did not hope for Gu Manman to do this design well and considered that it would be enough as long as Gu Manman did not make any mistakes.

When Gu Manman saw that Gu Yan had arrived so early, she was secretly shocked. Fortunately, she had arrived before her and had already made preparations in advance. Otherwise, she would not have been able to deal with this embarrassing situation at all.

“Well, I’ve summarized my ideas by now. Please take a look at them for me.”

Gu Manman was very polite when she spoke, which made Gu Yan feel a little comfortable. She put her purse aside and began to carefully look at Gu Manman’s design. She had to admit that Gu Manman’s ideas were not bad, but they looked too messy. As Gu Yan looked at them, she could not help feeling a little dry in her eyes.

She did not look good. Gu Manman could see it very clearly from such a close distance, but she was not in the position to ask her about it. At the same time, Gu Manman did not want to ask either. Gu Yan’s work was going well, so what could make her upset?

Gu Manman guessed that her boss had encountered some difficulties in private life. Gu Manman had never interacted much with Mo Yichen and did not know what kind of person he was. But what was Gu Yan up to by staying with him?

Gu Manman would not believe that Gu Yan was after his wealth, because her cousin and Mo Yichen were roommates in college and she knew that Qi Changfeng’s family property was not inferior to the Mo’s family at all. Gu Manman felt that her cousin was much better than Mo Yichen. Maybe it was because of true love that Gu Yan stayed with Mo Yichen.

Was Gu Yan sad because of her family stuff? From her current state, it was obvious that she had cried last night. Furthermore, she should have been crying for a long time. Otherwise, her eyes would not be so swollen.

Although Gu Manman did not like Gu Yan, Qi Changfeng did. Furthermore, Gu Manman did not forget why she had come to Gu Yan’s studio. Wasn’t her most important purpose in coming here to help Qi Changfeng gather information? She thought that now it would be a good opportunity to do that. It was true that she did not like Gu Yan, but she would never hide the things that she thought Qi Changfeng should know from him.

Judging by Gu Yan’s current state, she was not happy at all. Indeed, the impoverished couples had a tough life. How long had the Mo’s family been in trouble? Yet, Gu Yan had already returned to Annan City in low spirits and had been even crying. No matter how one looked at it, this did not seem like a proper situation between two loving people. Gu Manman was certain that something had happened between Gu Yan and Mo Yichen.

Gu Manman knew very well that she had to inform Qi Changfeng about this as soon as possible and let him seize the opportunity. She felt that her cousin was just being silly. When it came to love, a man should not focus on grace at all, yet he insisted on maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor. How could he win Gu Yan’s heart in this way?

She had never agreed with his way of handling this, but she was just his sidekick and there was no way for her to talk him down. This was what he had decided to do and she couldn’t change his mind, so she could just be his advisor. Since he was determined to express his feelings to Gu Yan when he got the chance to do so, Gu Manman could not force him.

She could only help him to take the tide at the flood. And in her opinion, now would be an excellent opportunity. There was definitely something wrong between Gu Yan and Mo Yichen. Furthermore, Mo Yichen was not in Annan City right now, so Qi Changfeng did not have to worry about anything. He just had to go all-out chasing after Gu Yan.

If he kept waiting until the crisis between the couple was resolved, he would be out of the picture. Gu Manman knew that it was very difficult for him to win Gu Yan’s heart with just his own efforts. She must add fuel to the fire behind him, otherwise, the date for this problem to be completely solved would be unknown.

Gu Manman’s thoughts had completely drifted away from the business at hand, but Gu Yan did not notice it. If she knew that Gu Manman was thinking about these things, she would definitely get angry and find it hilarious. And she would unquestionably wonder how Gu Manman could be such a busybody.

She assumed that Gu Manman must be feeling quite anxious as she could not finish the work that Gu Yan had assigned to her, and she would not have time to think about those useless things. However, it was not what she thought it would be at all. Gu Manman’s thoughts had already drifted thousands of miles away.

“Your ideas appear too messy.”

Gu Yan flipped through the materials that Gu Manman had organized for several times. She knew that Gu Manman’s ideas were very creative and rich. It was just that there were too many of them, which made it impossible for Gu Yan to find the key point. It would be a devastating blow if one did not have inspiration over designs. But sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing to have too many ideas.

Just like what Gu Manman was doing right now.

Gu Yan could not figure out what Gu Manman wanted for her own design at all. From these fragments, she could not find the key point that Gu Manman wanted to express and that was very inappropriate. She was very clear about this matter, but she knew that it was not enough. The key was that she had to let Gu Manman know about it as well, and she had to ensure that Gu Manman knew how to modify her design.

And then Gu Yan mulled over how she should demonstrate it to let Gu Manman fully understand what she wanted to express.
