Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Did You Miss Me After One Day of Not Seeing Me?

After sending Gu Qin away, Gu Yan no longer continued to look for a job.

Wearing brand names was like carrying a sign that read "No work needed," making it clear for people to reject her. It would be strange if she could find anything.

Gu Yan got on the closest bus to Lixin Villa District, thinking she might as well go back. She reached into her bag but realized she didn’t have her keys. Checking her pockets, she really found she’d forgotten them!

How tragic!

Did she have to sit at the door for hours again waiting for Tang Yuxiu to come back?

Gu Yan recalled what Tang Yuxiu said last night, that she shouldn’t sit outside and embarrass him if she forgot her keys again. She decided to drop the idea.

But, she had nowhere to go.

The apartment she rented was long canceled by Tang Yuxiu, who said his woman could only have villas, not such dog kennels.

Gu Yan was speechless. If you’re rich, whatever you say goes.

Gu Yan took out her phone, scrolled through the contacts to Tang Yuxiu’s name, hesitated for a long time, then finally pressed the dial button.

Tang Yuxiu’s phone didn’t have a ringtone, just a flat beep. After a few rings, he picked up.

"Hello." Tang Yuxiu’s cool voice came through.

Gu Yan swallowed nervously and cautiously began, "Boss, it’s me."

The man, who was working, paused for a second, then quickly resumed, "Why is your voice so small? Did you do something to upset me?"

"Of course not."

"Then why are you calling me? Haven’t seen me for a day and miss me already?" Tang Yuxiu put down his pen, leaned lazily against the chair back, a faint smile tugging at his lips as he teased her.

"Not at all!" Gu Yan’s face turned slightly red as she lowered her voice to shout.

"Heh." Tang Yuxiu chuckled lightly, and this time it wasn’t mocking but a genuine laugh that reached Gu Yan’s ears through the phone, making her heart skip a beat.

"You don’t need to deny it so quickly. To be honest, I wouldn’t laugh at you."

"Honestly, no! Don’t be so narcissistic." Gu Yan quickly clarified, "I just went out and forgot my keys again. You said yesterday not to wait at the door for you, so I called."

On hearing this, Tang Yuxiu couldn’t help but scorn her, "Forgot your keys again? What’s your brain made of? Surprised you didn’t leave yourself behind at home. Maybe you did it on purpose to have more interaction with me."

Gu Yan rolled her eyes where he couldn’t see, "Haha, you’re overthinking."

"Whether I’m overthinking, you know best."

Yeah, I know very well. You’re just too narcissistic, don’t let others explain, and even if they do, you don’t believe it, still sticking to your own view.

A capricious capitalist!

"President Tang, Boss, what should I do?" She steered the topic back to the matter at hand.

Tang Yuxiu glanced at the document in front of him, then looked at the time and said, "It’s four now, come over to my place, and we’ll go back together after work."

"Go to your place?" Gu Yan hesitated, "Isn’t that inappropriate?" After all, her status was that of a mistress; wasn’t he afraid of bad publicity?

"What’s inappropriate? If you want to come back, then get over here." Having said that, Tang Yuxiu directly hung up on her.

Gu Yan, "..."

Forget it, if he’s not worried, why should she care? Besides, no one would be stupid enough to publicly introduce people with, "I’m Tang Yuxiu’s mistress," or "She’s my kept woman," right?

Gu Yan put away her phone, got off at the next stop, and transferred to the bus heading to the Tang Group.
