AMTBYIGA Chapter 88
by VolareChapter 88: Green Tea
Duan Miao finally seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn’t have, and covered his mouth in horror, as if afraid that others wouldn’t notice something was wrong.
“I, I’m sorry.” Duan Miao trembled, biting his lip as he looked timidly at Gu Nian. “I didn’t know you hadn’t told your husband about this, Gu Zong. I, I, I didn’t mean to.”
As he spoke, tears welled up in those dark eyes, circling as if about to fall, a pitiful sight that even made Lin Sui feel a little soft-hearted.
Gu Nian wasn’t buying it, or rather, he didn’t even glance at Duan Miao. His usually calm and collected dark eyes were filled with panic, and they were entirely focused on Lin Sui. Seeing Lin Sui didn’t say anything, he anxiously reached out to grab Lin Sui’s hand.
“I’ll explain to you right away, don’t be angry.” Gu Nian explained in a low voice, relieved when he found Lin Sui didn’t shake off his hand. Not caring that there was an outsider present, he said quickly, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you… okay, maybe a little, but, but I definitely don’t distrust you, I just couldn’t find the right opportunity.”
Lin Sui tilted his head, watching the usually dignified and composed man explain in a sweat, anxiously watching his expression as he spoke, afraid that he wouldn’t believe him. Lin Sui couldn’t help but chuckle.
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, and the huge boulder hanging high in his heart suddenly fell, feeling a little helpless. “I’m being serious here.”
Lin Sui quickly pressed down the corners of his mouth and nodded seriously. “I know, I just thought you were so cute just now, keep going, keep going.”
Gu Nian choked, trying to speak again, but found Lin Sui looking at him with a smile, not looking angry at all.
“Ahem.” Lin Sui also felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and changed the subject, “If this gentleman is okay, he should go back first, right? It’s quite hard to get a taxi here.”
Duan Miao, who was almost a background board beside him, was finally remembered, but Duan Miao felt that he would rather not be remembered.
He looked at the two people in front of him, who were undoubtedly loving, and felt a sourness in his heart, as well as a sense of loss.
Duan Miao’s eyes were still filled with tears, making him look particularly awkward at this moment. He couldn’t hold them back, but if they fell, it would seem like he was doing it on purpose.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a simple square handkerchief appeared in his sight. Duan Miao felt his heart suddenly accelerate, with a strong, inexplicable feeling, and hurriedly looked up—only to be disappointed in the next second. It was completely different from what he had imagined.
He looked at Lin Sui’s gentle smile. He clearly had a very beautiful face, but he couldn’t bring himself to like it, and even felt a slight dislike.
“Wipe it off.” Seeing that he didn’t take it, Lin Sui assumed he was embarrassed, and said kindly, “Don’t take it to heart, this isn’t your fault, and Gu Nian won’t pursue it, right?”
As he spoke, Lin Sui gave Gu Nian a look. Gu Nian didn’t want to pay attention to him with a dark face, but because it was Lin Sui, he reluctantly said, “I will deal with this matter, don’t let it happen again.”
Lin Sui turned his head and gently placed the handkerchief in Duan Miao’s hand, and wanted to take the document that was tightly grasped by the other party.
Duan Miao woke up from his dream, suddenly clenched his hand, and glared at Lin Sui with wide eyes, as if Lin Sui had done something unforgivable.
The two hands were stiffly suspended in the air, looking very awkward.
Lin Sui tugged at it, but it didn’t move. He was a little confused, but before he could speak, Gu Nian spoke first.
“Leave the document, you can go.” As he said this, Gu Nian stood motionless, obviously meaning for Lin Sui to take it.
“But Gu Zong…” A look of eagerness appeared in Duan Miao’s eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but his eyes glanced at Lin Sui and suddenly stopped, looking at Gu Nian for help.
It was as if there was something that Lin Sui couldn’t hear.
Lin Sui finally realized what was going on after this series of rich performances and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows – this protagonist shou seemed a little different from what he had imagined?
Why was he acting like a green tea, and his EQ was also worrying? Was he hinting so obviously in front of him because he was afraid that he wouldn’t suspect anything?
While Lin Sui was still wondering if the protagonist’s character had collapsed, Gu Nian was almost laughing with anger. He was really angry this time, and his words became harsh.
“Lin Sui is my husband, my legal partner, and he has a share in everything I have, there is nothing he can’t hear.” Gu Nian looked at Duan Miao coldly. He could see through the other party’s little thoughts at a glance. He didn’t say anything before because he didn’t want Lin Sui to know about these dirty things, and he would just deal with it himself, but now he changed his mind.
“Who gave you my address?”
Duan Miao was so frightened by this imposing voice that his whole body trembled, and without thinking he said, “It was, it was An Ge.”
Gu Nian squinted his eyes and recalled, and soon remembered that this An Ge should be the manager of a certain department, who might have discovered his address during a meeting.
But how could Duan Miao, a newly hired staff member, get the other party to actively tell him this secret? He didn’t believe that anyone would cut off their own future.
There must be someone behind this pushing it, was it Gu Zhi, or other competitors?
“You go back and tell him that he has been fired and is required to complete the handover of work within today.” Gu Nian said casually, “Let him not think about struggling too much, this time he is considered to have exposed commercial secrets. If we really investigate, he can be bankrupted.”
Duan Miao was frightened by the words that lightly sentenced a high-ranking manager, and his whole person was like a piece of wood. It took a long time before he whispered in response.
“Now, you can go too.” Gu Nian was annoyed when he saw Duan Miao’s face, and before the other party left, he took Lin Sui and returned to the villa without looking back. He threw the document bag outside into the trash can when he took the document, as if he was avoiding Duan Miao as a virus.
Lin Sui watched and wanted to laugh, teasing, “Are you so adhering to male morality?”
Gu Nian instantly changed from a majestic king of the jungle to a domesticated cat, lowered his eyes obediently to pull Lin Sui’s little hand, “I really didn’t mean to lie to you, just forgive me this time, I promise there won’t be a next time.”
Lin Sui’s hands itched to rub his fingers, but in the end, he couldn’t help but rub Gu Nian’s head hard. His hair was harder than his, but it felt pretty good.
Seeing that he let him touch his head, Lin Sui generously said, “Okay, I forgive you.”
Gu Nian’s mood didn’t improve, he hugged Lin Sui tightly, skillfully put him on his lap, and kissed Lin Sui’s ears and nose, saying in a strange voice, “Are you so good, I even doubt if you are angry, I feel like you don’t care at all, you little rascal.”
Lin Sui hugged Gu Nian and blinked. He wasn’t really angry, after all, he was a man with the script in hand, and there wasn’t a secret of Gu Nian’s that he didn’t know.
However, a home cat in a tantrum still needs to be coaxed, Lin Sui held Gu Nian’s face and kissed him a few times, looking at Gu Nian with bright amber eyes. The words to coax people came out of his mouth, “I’m not very angry because I trust you, if someone else lied to me like this, I would definitely ignore him, but you are different, I believe you won’t do anything to hurt me, since you have your reasons, I will be generous and not blame you.”
Gu Nian reluctantly accepted this explanation, but he didn’t let go of Lin Sui, and just hugged him back to the bedroom to look at the document that was sent. The black words on white paper were placed directly in front of the two, with no intention of avoiding anything.
Lin Sui curled the corners of his mouth, feeling very good to be a comfortable pillow. Although he said he didn’t care, who wouldn’t like the feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly?
After this accident, most of Gu Nian’s secrets were laid out in front of Lin Sui. Therefore, Gu Nian no longer hid anything, and hugged Lin Sui to deal with the documents for a day. His good mood lasted all day – he had wanted to do this for a long time.
It was so comfortable to hold the fragrant and soft Lin Sui in his arms, and he could kiss him from time to time. Gu Nian had never worked so comfortably before.
On the other hand, Lin Sui suffered. At first, he was quite curious to look at those documents, but those things were really boring. He started to space out after a while, and whenever he wanted to escape, Gu Nian could always hold him down in advance, so Lin Sui had to sit on his lap obediently.
As a result, Lin Sui fell asleep while sitting, sleeping soundly in the familiar embrace.
Gu Nian smiled helplessly, gently put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and continued to work.
They both forgot about Duan Miao outside, as if this person had never appeared at all.
Duan Miao stood outside blankly for a while, then left absentmindedly. As soon as he returned to the company, he was “invited” to the top floor by Jiang Sheng’s people as soon as possible.
This was Jiang Sheng and Gu Nian’s office. Usually, very few people had the authority to come up here. Duan Miao was terrified as he was led inside. When he looked up, he saw Manager An, who was pale, sitting at the desk. Remembering what Gu Zong said, he vaguely realized what was going on.
Jiang Sheng’s face looked even darker than Gu Nian’s. The way he looked at Manager An and Duan Miao was as if he was looking at the enemies who had killed his father for eight generations. He couldn’t wait to kick the two of them out of the company and put up a sign outside the company that read [An ×× and Duan Miao are not allowed to enter]
God knows he was almost scared to a heart attack when he received Gu Nian’s call. Fortunately, Lin Sui didn’t care. If this accident caused the two people’s relationship to break down, his bonus would be gone. How would he marry Du Wanbai!
All obstacles to him marrying his wife, all strangled!
Seeing that everyone was here, Jiang Sheng didn’t hesitate and finished the arrangements neatly: “An ×× is fired from today, and Duan Miao is only given a verbal warning as he was implicated.”
He paused, looking at Duan Miao with a meaningful look: “Our Gu Zong and Gu Zong’s husband have a very good relationship. I don’t care what rumors you have heard outside. I advise you not to think about anything you shouldn’t. This time, the madam is in a good mood and doesn’t care, otherwise I would have to be unlucky too, understand?”
As soon as these warning words came out, Duan Miao’s face was as if the blood had been drained from it, his lips trembled so much that he couldn’t speak, and he could only lower his head and bite his lip tightly, looking like he had been insulted.
Jiang Sheng was too lazy to watch him perform, impatiently drove the two of them out, and transferred Duan Miao’s secretarial position to another place. He didn’t dare to put such a big thunder next to Gu Nian anymore. If it wasn’t against the rules to dismiss him without a reason, he really wanted to drive him away directly, and he wouldn’t mind spending more money.
After doing all this, Jiang Sheng immediately reported to Gu Nian in detail, confirming that his bonus would not be affected in any way, and collapsed on the chair, unable to help but scold Duan Miao over and over in his heart.
Damn, he had never seen such a brainless person. He was digging a wall in front of the main palace. He was digging Gu Nian, who was a love-brain steel wall. He was really not afraid of being beaten to death with a pickaxe.
