Chapter 32: If You Don't Like It, You Can Leave

  Lin Yue'er immediately shifted her gaze and took a step back with both feet. "Hello, I'm Lin Yue'er."

  No matter at home or in the company, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Wangchuan, so she was also somewhat estranged from the rest of the Gu family.

  Gu Xi Cen nodded, "I know." Without any extra reaction, she finished introducing herself and sat down.

  "Come on, young master, sit down!" Flower Aunt brought out the last dish of soup and pulled over a stool beside Gu Wangchuan.

  Lin Yue'er walked over awkwardly and sat down beside him, Gu Wangchuan turned his head to glance at her but didn't say anything, then turned back to chat with Gu Xi Chen.

  Lin Yueer tried to minimize her presence, occasionally hearing Gu Wangchuan's bright laughter, and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

  His eyebrows and eyes were all relaxed, and he even opened a bottle of his grandfather's 82 red wine. She didn't know that the violent dragon-like Gu Wangchuan would also have such a warm side. It was clear that he had a good relationship with Gu Xizhen, unlike those wealthy families where brothers were always plotting against each other.

  Gu Xi Zhen always had a faint smile, wearing a deep-colored garment that set off his pale and delicate skin, especially when he lowered his eyes and remained silent, looking like a perfect painting that matched the mood and scene.

  Not wanting to be a mere decoration here, Lin Yue'er simply ate a bit and stood up, "I'm done eating, you guys take your time." Gu Wangchuan was in an exceptionally good mood tonight and didn't pay attention to her. On the other hand, Gu Xi'chen stood up very politely, Lin Yue'er smiled at him briefly, not staying for even one second more, and turned around to head upstairs.

  Back in the room, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  She can't stay in the space with Gu Wangchuan for a long time, it makes her suffocate. However, she has a good impression of Gu Xizhen, who is gentle and polite, unlike his big brother who catches fire as soon as he touches it! Thinking that he is not a talkative person either, as for the small episode in the garden, it's naturally forgotten.

  After a short rest, she went to the lab. The report for this afternoon was handed in, and next, she had to come up with accurate experimental data.

  Lin Yue went downstairs to grab a cup of coffee late at night.

  Stirring the coffee in her cup, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, where it was pitch black inside, a rare tranquility that suited her to calm her thoughts.

  At this time, the sofa suddenly made a sound of leather friction. Lin Yue was startled and quickly turned her head, staring with wide eyes, "Who?"

  Slowly, a person sat up on the sofa, first stretching and then standing up. When he walked to the window, through the moonlight, Lin Yue'er finally saw that quiet and beautiful face.

  It's Gu Xi Cen.

  Lin Yue'er wasn't familiar with him and didn't know what to say, so she just stood there holding her cup, looking a bit awkward.

  "Scared you?" Gu Xi Cen broke the silence first, smiling softly, "Sorry."

  Lin Yue'er turned around, "No, I just didn't think it was so late, and there are still people here."

  Gu Xi Cen walked to another window, with her hands in her pockets and half-closing her eyes, "Having stayed in France for a long time, the time difference is not good."

  Lin Yue'er nodded in understanding, but suddenly lost the topic and wanted to return to the laboratory immediately, but felt it was impolite, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

  Gu Xi Cen turned his head sideways, and the moonlight shone on his handsome face, a layer of mysterious luster quietly spreading out.

  "I don't like staying here, I can choose to leave, just like...I don't like staying at Gu's house, it's the same." His voice was cold and toneless, completely different from his calm and gentle appearance.
