Chapter 103 Xu Rou's Guilty Feelings
Inside the Gu family villa.
Dinner was ready, and after eating, Li Yan sat on the sofa waiting for Gu Tingyan to come back.
The housekeeper looked at the food left for Gu Tingyan and then looked at Li Yan with a melancholy expression.
"Miss Li, why hasn't the eldest young master returned yet?"
Gu Tingyan usually comes home early, but he hasn't been home for dinner by 8 pm.
Li Yan could easily imagine that the mole had added a lot more workload to Gu Tingyan's job.
Li Yan sighed and replied to the housekeeper, "Let's wait a little longer. Ayan has a lot of things going on at the company these days, and he's very busy."
There was nothing Li Yan could do about it; she could only do her job well.
As she spoke, she opened Gu Tingyan's chat window, typed a message, and sent it to him.
"Ah Yan, let me know when you get home, and I'll heat up your food."
The message has been sent, and normally Gu Tingyan would reply instantly, but there's been no response at all.
That's true, Gu Tingyan doesn't have time to look at his phone right now.
With the new project proposal and the mole looming over him, Gu Tingyan was incredibly busy.
It was past 11 p.m. when Li Yan finally received a message from Gu Tingyan: "I just got on the bus."
This news brought tears to her eyes.
Li Yan forced herself not to cry, quickly stood up and went to the kitchen to heat up Gu Tingyan's food so he could have a hot meal when he returned.
Around 5 a.m., Li Yan was still half asleep when she heard familiar footsteps again.
After hearing it many times, she naturally recognized it as Gu Tingyan's footsteps, and got up to check the time.
Li Yan instantly snapped out of her daze, feeling a pang of heartache as she got up to stay with him.
Gu Tingyan hurriedly finished his breakfast and rushed to the company, where he had been working tirelessly for several days on the project.
Li Yan stared in the direction Gu Tingyan left, thinking about the little bit of fat that Gu Tingyan had gained on his face a few days ago, which was now gone.
She was heartbroken.
At this moment, Xu Rou slowly came downstairs, and Li Yan naturally didn't give her a friendly look.
Xu Rou sat opposite Li Yan without saying a word, not daring to look at Li Yan, her posture suggesting a guilty conscience.
Li Yan noticed Xu Rou's behavior out of the corner of her eye, which confirmed her suspicions.
But she didn't show it, and acted as usual.
Li Yan ate her breakfast slowly and methodically, noticing that Xu Rou was glancing at her from time to time, and a hint of impatience welled up in her eyes.
She suppressed her useless emotions, wiped her mouth, and looked at the housekeeper.
"Butler, get the car ready. We're going to the Xie Group soon."
The housekeeper didn't understand Li Yan's intentions, and his eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Xu Rou, who was still slowly eating her breakfast, was secretly listening to Li Yan's words.
Li Yan knew she was eavesdropping, so she slowly stood up and looked at the butler, saying, "The mole is in Xie's house. Let's go and arrest her."
"Clap-"
Upon hearing the word "traitor," Xu Rou was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks, her face paled, and her heart pounded wildly.
Li Yan glanced at the unusually quiet Xu Rou and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Xu Rou's eyes darted around, and she quickly came to her senses, forcing an unnatural smile as she awkwardly explained, "My hand slipped, I didn't hold it properly."
The housekeeper was a shrewd person; he could see right through Xu Rou's guilty conscience, as she was someone who couldn't control her emotions at all.
The butler understood and looked at Li Yan, saying, "I'll go prepare the car right away and accompany Miss Li to catch the mole."
