Chapter 124

She slept fitfully. When Gu Yeze got up, Bai Weijin sensed the movement but pretended to be asleep.

Gu Yeze turned away to look at her, and then he did something that shocked Bai Weijin.

He bowed slowly, dropping a gentle kiss on Bai Weijin’s hair.

Bai Weijin instantly froze and dared not open her eyes until Gu Yeze got dressed and left.

‘What do you mean, Gu Yeze?”

‘Can I think you love me, too? What do you mean by kissing my head?’

Bai Weijin was in no mood for sleep. She got up slowly and headed for the company. Along the way she had a bee in her bonnet.

“Hello, Weijin.” Grandma Gu smilingly greeted her from a distance.

‘Why’s she here? Oh, she must come for the celebration thing.’ Bai Weijin stepped up with a smile.

Just before she approached Grandma Gu, a woman walked out of a corner and held Grandma Gu by the arm, “Granny, it took me quite a while to find you.”

Bai Weijin paused when she saw Tan Xin snuggle up to Grandma Gu.

Granny? Bai Weijin didn’t think Tan Xin was a relative of the Gu family. She married Gu Yeze and could certainly call his grandma like this, but who was Tan Xin to do this?’

Bai Weijin thought ironically.

Grandma Gu affectionately took Tan Xin’s hand, saying, “It’s years since I came to the company. I really miss it.”

“Granny, why not consider re-presiding over Gu’s Group? Managing such a big enterprise must have tired Yeze out,” said Tan Xin.

Grandma Gu looked at her with a smile, “No, no. All I want to do is to enjoy a life of ease and leisure. As to the company, I believe they can take care of it. Eh, Weijin, why you look so pale?”

Tan Xin and Grandma Gu were getting on very well. Bai Weijin felt like an outsider.

She could never be so close to Grandma Gu.

Whenever she was with Grandma Gu, Bai Weijin was only too prudent about what she could say and what she could not, in case Grandma Gu would be annoyed. In contrast, Tan Xin acted freely in front of Grandma Gu, just like Gu Yeyu did.

“I’m all right, Grandma. Might sleep badly last night.” She answered and her fingers were slightly cold.

Bai Weijin had to admit it was quite late when she knew Gu Yeze.

Tan Xin looked on coldly. She judged from the gloomy expression on Bai Weijin’s face that the latter and Gu Yeze must have had a quarrel yesterday.

With a smug smile, Tan Xin opened her mouth, “The company thing is of great importance, but you should also take care of yourself so that Granny and Yeze can be less worried.”

Grandma Gu nodded.

Bai Weijin took the hint.

“Miss Tan, you speak as if you were the co-chairman of Gu’s Group. With your help, I can certainly have a good rest.”

Tan Xin was stuck for words, and Grandma Gu also sensed the intense atmosphere.

Bai Weijin was being ironic, criticizing Tan Xin for acting as a boss who cared about her employees.

‘Damn it! I’ve underrated you, Bai Weijin!’ Tan Xin was really put on the spot, especially when she noticed the suspicious look in Grandma Gu’s eyes.

She smiled wryly, “What are you talking about, Miss Bai? You look rather ill, and Grandma just worries about your health.”

“Nonsense! How come she becomes the co-chairman of the group?” Grandma Gu made a show of anger and said to Bai Weijin, while secretly observing both of them.

She sounded like telling Bai Weijin off, but no one missed what she implied.

Bai Weijin cast a knowing glance at Tan Xin, as if saying to her: Look, you know who is the master here, don’t you?

Her teeth gritted, Tan Xin regretted having lowered her guard.

“Granny, do you remember the jade bracelet you once wanted? I’ve visited many antique markets and finally found it for you.”

For fear of incurring the displeasure of Grandma Gu, Tan Xin made no further explanation and changed the topic.

Her words interested Grandma Gu.

“Really?”

Tan Xin shot a glance at the jade bracelet on Grandma Gu’s wrist, “This?”

Grandma Gu touched the bracelet, taking Bai Weijin’s hand tenderly, “Weijin gave me this as a gift. I like it very much.”

“Weijin, you really have an eye for beauty. The bracelet sets off your skin, Granny. I believe the one I bought will be also to your liking. I’ll bring it to you another day.”

Somewhat vexed by Grandma Gu holding Bai Weijin’s hand, Tan Xin still gave a smile.

“What are you doing?”

There suddenly came Gu Yeze’s voice.

The kiss on her hair popped into Bai Weijin’s mind, while Gu Yeze didn’t look at her.

“We’re having a chat. You’ve got the company in order. Seems that I don’t have to worry about it.” Having witnessed the sound operation of Gu’s Group, Grandma Gu was impressed by her grandson’s great capability.

After Gu Yeze came over, Tan Xin remained silent all the while, exactly different from how she behaved just now. She was aware that Gu Yeze didn’t like it when others talked a lot.

“Grandma, I get to go. There’s a lot of work to do.” Bai Weijin felt uneasy in Gu Yeze’s presence and hoped to leave.

“Hold on, Weijin,” uttered Grandma Gu.

“The centennial is coming. I’ve browsed through the whole process, and there’s no problem in it. I heard you also helped a lot. So, how about cutting the ribbon together with Yeze?” Grandma Gu came up and took Bai Weijin by the hand towards Gu Yeze.

As they approached, Bai Weijin smelled the familiar breath of Gu Yeze. Grandma Gu continued.

“The company will be in your charge. Do it together, all right?”

Bai Weijin made no reply, while Gu Yeze nodded.

Bai Weijin never threw a tantrum on such occasions, “No problem, Grandma.”

Grandma Gu smiled and turned away to speak to Tan Xin, “Look, what a match made in heaven!”

Tan Xin was stupefied but soon realized what she was saying, replying, “Yeah.”

Her eyes fixed on Gu Yeze’s expressionless face, Tan Xin was lost in thought.

‘Yeze is being gentle when he stays with me, while faced with Bai Weijin, he always looks grumpy, cold and expressionless. Does it mean he likes me better?’
