Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 269 Zhizhi, I'm apologizing very sincerely

Gu Yanci calmly looked back at Wen Yan, seemingly oblivious to her veiled meaning.

Wen Yan politely declined the meal delivery from Old Madam Gu, saying that she had eaten well and there was no need to worry.

"That's good." Old Madam Gu said earnestly, "Xiao Yan, you must take good care of yourself. No matter what happens to you, you will always be my favorite granddaughter-in-law, you know?"

Wen Yan's heart softened, realizing that the old lady was comforting her because of the uproar over Nan Yun's return these past two days.

"Okay, I know, Grandma, you love me the most."

"If that scoundrel Aci bullies you, remember to tell Grandma. As long as Grandma is alive, she will stand up for you!"

"Okay, thank you grandma."

"Your grandfather invited several families to dinner the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to come back and visit me?" Old Madam Gu asked casually.

Although Old Master Gu is no longer in power, he still enjoys great prestige within the elite circles. Every summer, he would invite several top families in the capital to a gathering, which would serve as a platform for these families to connect and maintain relationships. The activities would consist of leisurely activities such as fishing, playing cards, drinking tea, and dining.

As a granddaughter-in-law, Wen Yan was not qualified to attend the meeting because of her lower generation and lack of power within the Gu family. Old Madam Gu's actions were clearly intended to tell the families: regardless of Nan Yun's character or what happened to the Wen family in the past, Wen Yan was still the Gu family's precious granddaughter-in-law!

The old lady stood up for Wen Yan at this crucial moment!

Wen Yan was deeply moved.

hang up the phone.

Gu Yanci picked up another shrimp dumpling for her.

"You should go to work," Wen Yan said, dismissing him, clearly still angry.

"I'm on vacation today." Mr. Gu, dressed in a suit and tie, lied through his teeth and chose to take a temporary leave of absence.

Since his grandparents already knew about his conflict with Wen Yan, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Wen Yan's eyes widened in shock: "Why would a boss like you take a vacation?"

“Annual leave,” Gu Yanci said. “Annual leave is the legal right of every employee.”

Wen Yan: "..." You've studied labor law quite well, that's impressive!

I should have known better than to let him in!

Wen Yan pretended not to see Gu Yanci, finished breakfast and went back to her study to study, regardless of what Gu Yanci was doing at home.

It wasn't until evening that Gu Yanci knocked on the door, and the study door was pushed open: "What would you like for dinner?"

Wen Yan put down the marker with some annoyance, looking at him with a resentful expression that seemed to say, "Can't you understand human language?"

This person came in and knocked on the door during lunchtime, but Wen Yan chased him out.

Gu Yanci is an arrogant person. If Wen Yan had treated him like this in the past, he would have given her the same cold look and turned to leave.

However, at this moment, all he could think about were Wen Yan's words from the previous night: "But Gu Yanci, in my heart, I have never felt that Brother Jingzhou is more important than you, nor have I ever felt that you are inferior to Brother Jingzhou!"

These words lingered in his mind like a curse, preventing him from being angry with her at all.

She loves him.

What's wrong with getting a little angry?

The girl was never good-tempered to begin with, so there's no reason why she should marry him and become his wife if she can't get angry!

"Didn't you promise Grandma you'd eat properly?" Gu Yanci asked back.

Wen Yan was like a cat whose neck had been pinched, instantly falling silent.

After getting in the car.

Wen Yan didn't want to communicate with Gu Yanci. After deleting all other people's messages with one click, she held her phone and complained to Luo Beiqing that Gu Yanci was neglecting his duties and was extremely annoying!

Luo Beiqing: [You've already gone out, which means you're not so angry that you can't forgive him.]

Luo Beiqing knew Wen Yan well. Simply mentioning Old Madam Gu wouldn't be enough to get Wen Yan to obediently go out to eat with Gu Yanci.

To put it bluntly, she still has feelings for him.

Gu Yanci is incredibly lucky. If this had happened six months ago, Wen Yan probably wouldn't have been so dependent on him if it weren't for what happened with Nan Yun!

"Would you like French food or Japanese food?" Gu Yanci asked the woman in the passenger seat during a break at a traffic light.

"Neither."

Wen Yan was angry at herself for being so weak as to follow him out.

Gu Yanci glanced at her. The woman was still sulking and had a gloomy face. She clearly didn't want to talk to him, but she still obediently came out to eat with him.

Wen Yan was taken to a riverside Black Pearl Western fusion restaurant with an amazing night view.

The table was exquisitely decorated, adorned with the most vibrant red roses, creating the perfect atmosphere for a date.

Gu Yanci wasn't good at chatting, so after sitting down, he just quietly watched Wen Yan.

Wen Yan looked up by chance and their eyes met.

Wen Yan coldly looked away.

A mute? I've never seen a mute apologize like this before!

Wen Yan thought about it and started to get angry again!

I do not know how long it has been.

A sudden commotion broke out around them.

Wen Yan noticed that the guests around her were all looking out the window, so she looked over as well.

As if instructed in advance, the surrounding high-rise buildings turned off their exterior lights. Countless drones, flashing their lights, rose into the sky above the river.

Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes.

Wen Yan asked, "Is there any activity today?"

The waiter glanced at Gu Yanci, but before he could answer Wen Yan's question, the flashing drones began to arrange themselves, as if trying to form words.

"Someone proposed?" Wen Yan asked.

Seeing that Gu Yanci did not speak, the waiter respectfully replied, "Someone apologized."

The moment the words were spoken, the drones completed their formation in the air:

Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry.

“Gu…” Wen Yan subconsciously read the word that appeared, but before she could finish, she looked at Gu Yanci in shock.

Of course, she had considered that this 'Mrs. Gu' could be someone else, but the drone's perspective was right in front of her, and besides the person in front of her, there was no other person in the entire capital city with the surname Gu who could make all the surrounding buildings turn off their lights.

The six large characters remained suspended in the air, unmoving.

The surrounding guests took out their phones to take pictures and whispered to guess who this 'Mrs. Gu' was, little did they know that she was right there on the spot.

Wen Yan was afraid that someone would see her.

I wasn't moved.

There was no reconciliation.

Only the fear of social death!

"What...what do you want to do?" Wen Yan asked Gu Yanci in a low voice, her voice trembling.

Gu Yanci gazed at her with a deep and helpless expression: "Zhizhi, I am apologizing very sincerely."

Wen Yan: "?"

Wen Yan almost couldn't catch her breath.

Drone proposals have indeed become quite popular in the last two years, and she has seen them a few times, but what kind of kind person would go to such lengths to apologize?
