Chapter 152: Chapter 152: If Things Aren’t Clear, He Can’t Sleep

Lu Xiang’s complexion changed.

Not long ago, she and Mr. Feng had gone to S city for a business trip to attend a training session, which ended around 1 a.m.

After freshening up, she came out of Mr. Feng’s room just to bump into Gu Jinyan.

Lu Xiang licked the corner of her lip, she neither stole nor robbed, committed no crime, so why did everything sound so indecent when spoken by Gu Jinyan?!

"I and Mr. Feng had legitimate business to attend to, unlike Mr. Gu who seemed to enjoy not sleeping at midnight and disturbing a family of three’s peaceful dreams at the hospital!"

Gu Jinyan’s large hands instantly clenched together.

His face grew even stormier, a heavy tumult rising around him.

"I’m not like Feng Chen, I can’t learn the trick of keeping female employees in hotel rooms in the dead of night!"

Gu Jinyan scoffed coldly, glancing sideways at Bo Yunshen who seemed to be watching a show, his tone sarcastic:

"Old Bo, you are really generous, bringing Miss Lu over at this hour. What if you ruined someone’s good time, wouldn’t that be unfortunate?"

"After all, Miss Lu is a person who loves to be busy working late into the night!"

Lu Xiang’s face turned pale, but Bo Yunshen just raised an eyebrow, his eyes holding a trace of amusement, clearly thinking about something!

"Feeling good about not leaving when I told you to?"

Gu Jinyan choked!

Bo Yunshen was in an even better mood.

Old Gu always enjoyed watching his play, what goes around comes around!

The last time he had come to Bo Group to get Qin Yan’s contact information for Lu Xiang, he had sensed something amiss!

Since Old Gu refused to leave, and things were already messy, why not stir them up even more?

Bo Yunshen curved his lips, clicking his tongue in wonder.

The sourness in the hospital room was indeed strong!

After watching the drama unfold for quite a while, Qin Yan also came to her senses, guessing that it must have been Bo Yunshen’s doing.

She looked puzzledly at Lu Xiang.

"Xiangxiang, are you having a conflict with Mr. Gu?"

"No!"

"No!"

Lu Xiang and Gu Jinyan said simultaneously, and now even Bo Yunshen’s expression took on a deeper meaning.

Both felt a bit uncomfortable, and Bo Yunshen’s eybrows quirked, with even more malicious amusement playing on his lips:

"Miss Lu, actually, it was Old Gu who asked me to call you over, he said he had something to tell you! And he even said he couldn’t sleep until he had spoken to you!"

"If he can’t sleep and ends up disturbing my wife and my sweet dreams at the hospital, then I think it’s necessary for him to clear things up with you!"

Lu Xiang looked skeptically at Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan’s body tensed, instinctively wanting to retort.

Bo Yunshen, dead tired, naturally didn’t give Gu Jinyan a chance to speak, cutting in first, "Look, it’s getting late and we have work tomorrow. Why don’t you let Old Gu take you home and you two can talk on the way?"

Lu Xiang, just having been ridiculed by Gu Jinyan and planning to question his intentions—even though she had reservations about Bo Yunshen—nonetheless nodded agreeably!

Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Qin Yan, she wouldn’t have bothered making the trip tonight.

Lu Xiang turned her head, glancing at Qin Yan.

She had hardly rested for two consecutive nights, and now dark circles formed under her eyes. Qin Yan’s skin was pale, making the bluish-black under her eyes startlingly vivid.

Lu Xiangxiang felt a pang of sympathy for Qin Yan and was also infuriated by the underlying meaning in Gu Jinyan’s words. She licked the corner of her lips and responded, "Just right, I have something to tell him too."

"Yanyan, I’ll go first. When I free up some time, I’ll take Yinyin to the amusement park."

Qin Yan blinked her eyes. Because of Yinyin’s illness, she now shudders at the mention of the words "amusement park."

Actually, Qin Yan wanted to ask Xiangxiang what was going on between her and Feng Chen.

But with the atmosphere in the hospital room being so tense, after hesitating repeatedly, she decided to ask privately later.

"Okay. Take it slow on the road."

Lu Xiangxiang responded and walked over to the armchair, her tone solemn, "Let’s go!"

Gu Jinyan didn’t move, his lips curling in mockery.

Lu Xiangxiang took the lead and stepped out of the hospital room. Gu Jinyan furrowed his brows and glanced at Bo Yunshen, his eyes flickering.

"When did I say I had something to tell her?"

Bo Yunshen lifted the corners of his lips, the smile reaching his eyes, and lowered his voice, "Don’t want to leave? Fine! Come on, I’ll share the bed with you!"

Gu Jinyan hadn’t expected Bo Yunshen to be so shameless. He gritted his teeth and rubbed his lips together, saying, "Old Bo, you’re ruthless!"

Bo Yunshen was so irritated by Qin Yan earlier, but now he was wearing a content smile.

Gu Jinyan’s face turned pale, and Bo Yunshen gestured toward the door with his chin.

Gu Jinyan glanced outside the hospital room. Lu Xiangxiang had already reached the corner of the hospital corridor, just turning her head to look at him, her brows slightly furrowed, clearly waiting for him.

He turned back and glared at Bo Yunshen and after hesitating, finally stepped out of the room.

In the hospital corridor at past four in the morning, the light was dim, and the silence allowed only the sound of Lu Xiangxiang’s high heels clicking on the floor to be heard.

The two walked one after the other, without any communication, like strangers who happened to be walking the same path.

Lu Xiangxiang pinched her handbag, slightly turned her head, and glanced at the tall figure of the man. Gu Jinyan had a cigarette hanging from his lips unknowingly.

With one hand in his pocket and a steady stride, his ash-gray suit elongated his figure, making the man particularly handsome.

He carried an air of refined rascality.

Not repulsive, yet there was an abrupt coldness.

As soon as they left the hospital, Lu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but speak, "Gu Jinyan, what did you mean by your words in the hospital room earlier?"

Gu Jinyan carelessly reached out to light his cigarette. The crimson flame and thick white smoke momentarily blurred his facial expression.

Tinted with the scent of tobacco, Gu Jinyan’s voice carried a trace of hoarseness, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

As he spoke, he slightly turned his eyes, the corners lifting in heavy sarcasm.

Lu Xiangxiang’s fingertips tightened on her handbag. Their relationship had always been good, and she never thought that Gu Jinyan would think so lowly of her.

Her eyes widened, and she let out sneer after sneer.

"Yes, I like Mr. Feng. I enjoy working overtime with him at the hotel!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my life!"

Every word from Lu Xiangxiang was heavily stressed, as if she feared Gu Jinyan might not clearly understand her point.

Emotionally stirred, she didn’t notice Gu Jinyan’s fingers tightening as she spoke.

Gu Jinyan took a deep drag of his cigarette, "Miss Lu willingly offers her company on her pillow; it was wrong of me, Mr. Gu, to meddle!"

Saying so, he lifted his wrist, glanced at the time, and scoffed, "It’s still early. I won’t disturb Miss Lu and your dearly beloved Mr. Feng’s overtime work!"

His last few words seemed to be squeezed through clenched teeth, each carrying a thunderous weight that struck directly at Lu Xiangxiang’s heart.

After Gu Jinyan finished speaking, he didn’t look at Lu Xiangxiang’s expression, brushed a non-existent wrinkle on his suit, and without hesitation, turned around and strode away!
