Chapter 8: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (8)
In the dead of night, when all voices had fallen silent, accompanied by light footsteps, the young master of the Shen family manor was welcomed.
The moonlight filtered softly into the room, and the man rubbed his temples wearily.
He strolled into his usual small living room, casually tossing aside his black overcoat. With a thud, the man was already half-lying on the sofa.
His long legs were casually draped over his shoulders, his posture was languid, and he still smelled of disinfectant.
Shen Mubai closed his eyes to rest for a while, easing some of the fatigue from the night shift, before slightly opening his eyes, looking at the ceiling, and remembering the banquet held at home today, he sat up straight.
His slender, long hands groped around on the sofa for a while before quickly finding a small remote control.
With a simple press of a button, the white wall in front of you instantly transforms into a screen, and the surveillance footage from the small hall begins to play.
Shen Mubai remained calm, showing no change even as he watched the various images on the monitor.
His slender fingers casually twirled the remote control, his gaze falling on the unfamiliar woman on the screen, a slight ripple of emotion stirring within him.
Gu Yunting's sweetheart?
interesting.

As Le Yan became more familiar with her work at the Gu Group, her daily routine consisted of being Gu's devoted follower. She went wherever Gu went, did whatever Gu said, and ate whatever Gu ate.
In fact, President Gu's lounge is almost hers now.
This made Le Yan wonder if President Gu was really not doing charity work.
With doubts lingering in her heart, she slowly drifted off to sleep in the warm sunlight.
A moment later, the door was gently opened, and a tall figure stood backlit.
Gu Yunting stood at the door, looking at the sleeping person, a faint smile curving his thin lips.
He slowly approached, half-squatted down, and looked at her intently.
The love that had been so carefully hidden in the past poured out; her trembling fingers touched her delicate red lips, pressed down gently, and then abruptly withdrew.
Gu Yunting lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling as he tried his best to suppress his restless heart.
Can't ... ...
He hasn't received any official recognition yet, so he has to endure it.
Gu Yunting knew, however, that he couldn't hold out for long.
He was not exactly a gentleman, but he cherished her so much that he didn't want to be rude to her.
If I can't tolerate it now, then I'll stop tolerating it.
Gu Yunting immediately made a decision: he would confess his love today!
He stood up, his expectant gaze lingering on Le Yan's face for a long time before finally looking away.
Quietly leaving the lounge, Gu Yunting began preparing everything for his confession.
He wanted to give her a beautiful memory.

Time passed by, and Leyan woke up at the right moment, only to find that she had slept until three o'clock again. She sat up somewhat dazedly, put her hand on her head, and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
Is she that tired lately?
That shouldn't be the case. She's been going to bed early every day and sleeping until she naturally wakes up. How could she be sleepy?
Le Yan blinked, wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, and had two guesses in her mind.
One reason is that Mr. Gu's lounge is exceptionally comfortable for sleeping.
The other one is that she is a pig.
Only pigs can sleep that much.
Leyan, of course, refused to admit that she was a pig, so she directly chose the first guess as her answer.
She also had a good point: everything in President Gu's lounge was of the finest quality, and there was a reason why expensive things were expensive; one of their advantages was that they were easy to sleep in.
Thinking this way, Leyan felt better and stopped thinking about the problem.
She ran her fingers through her messy hair before carefully opening the door to the lounge, ready to apologize to Gu Yunting.
To her surprise, Gu Yunting was not in the office. Le Yan was first puzzled, then pleasantly surprised.
That's great, President Gu is in a meeting again, and she has escaped danger once more.
"Yes!"
Overjoyed, Leyan jumped up and down on the spot.
Then the office door opened.
"What are you so happy about?"
Gu Yunting's voice rang out, and Le Yan froze on the spot. "Uh, Mr. Gu, you're back..."
She gave a stiff smile, almost biting her tongue.
Gu Yunting lowered his eyes with amusement, but didn't say anything to her. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Get ready later, I'll take you somewhere."
Having gotten used to following him around these past few days, Le Yan no longer asked where they were going and simply nodded, "Okay, Mr. Gu."
Back at her workstation, Le Yan packed her things and declined Rong Jing's invitation.
[Baozhu]: "Sorry, senior, I have to meet a client with President Gu again today, we'll have to reschedule for another day QAQ"
Looking at the message on his phone, Rong Jing, who had been waiting for a reply, lost his smile.
His face was shrouded in gloom, and his eyes darkened, like thick, unyielding ink, sending chills down one's spine.
"It's that bitch again."
With a soft voice, Rong Jing gave a mocking smile. Since returning to China, he had not been able to meet with Le Yan again.
Even though they live on the same floor, they can never find time to spend together.
And the one who started all of this is that detestable Gu Yunting!
Inside, the air was chilly, and despite the bright sunlight, there was no warmth to be found.
“Tell her that as long as Gu Yunting can’t go to Shengshi International, her brother can be saved.”
Want to confess your feelings?
Think about it.

"Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you?"
In the car, Le Yan looked at Gu Yunting with some confusion. She felt that President Gu was acting strangely at the moment, as if his emotions were fluctuating greatly.
Gu Yunting turned to look at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm a little nervous."
He was nervous yet expectant, apprehensive yet eager.
Regardless of her answer, what he wants can only belong to him.
Thinking of everything he had prepared, a smile bloomed in Gu Yunting's eyes.
Le Yan tilted her head to look at him, about to speak, when the car suddenly braked sharply, and she was thrown forward.
"Watch out!" Gu Yunting's pupils widened, and he instinctively hugged Le Yan, protecting her head with one hand as they crashed straight into the barrier.
But he couldn't care less about himself; he just looked at Leyan with worried eyes, "How are you? Did you bump into something?"
Le Yan met his gaze in a daze, her heart pounding faster and faster.
How could President Gu...
She looked away somewhat hastily, muttering, "No, I didn't bump into anything."
Gu Yunting was still worried and was about to check her body when Le Yan directly brushed his hands away.
"Mr. Gu, I'll go down and see what happened."
Speaking at almost twice the usual speed, Le Yan opened the door and got out of the car as soon as she finished speaking, giving Gu Yunting no chance to react.
She really didn't dare to be alone with President Gu anymore.
After closing the door, Le Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief before looking ahead at the car to see what had happened.
Then I saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar kneeling on the ground, her white dress disheveled. Her eyes were bright and clear, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful.
Le Yan thought about it carefully before remembering the woman's identity. Her mouth gaped open, and she quickly stepped forward, "You...you are Jiang Wandie?"
