Unreturned

The next day, at dusk.

After finishing her work and tidying up her desk, Su Qianmo shouldered her bag and walked out of the office.

"President Su!"

However, quite a few Caiying employees were standing outside the office door.

As soon as they saw Su Qianmo come out, they all gathered around her.

Su Qianmo paused, looking around at them, "Why aren't you heading home after work?"

The crowd exchanged glances, all showing troubled expressions as they spoke.

"President Su, there's something we're not sure if we should mention."

Su Qianmo frowned, "If you want to say something, just say it. No need to hide anything."

Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances again, and someone spoke up, "President Su, yesterday we saw Mr. Gu bring a young woman to your office. We were wondering what relationship that girl has with Mr. Gu?"

"Is that any of your business?" Su Qianmo maintained her ice-queen facade in front of others. She said expressionlessly, "You just need to focus on doing your jobs well. Don't pry into matters that don't concern you."

"Yes, yes, President Su is right."

Several people nodded and continued, "But President Su, yesterday we heard some rumors about Mr. Gu and that lady."

"Yes, President Su, we heard that girl is Mr. Gu's mistress..."

"His mistress!"

"That's right, President Su, we all heard it, and the girl said it herself."

"After she said it, Mr. Gu even covered her mouth. Clearly, this must be true!"

Everyone chattered away, taking turns telling Su Qianmo about what they had witnessed and heard yesterday.

Listening to all this, Su Qianmo's expression became rather peculiar.

Hoshino Kannon admitted to being Gu Chenan's mistress?

So does that mean in Kannon's eyes, I'm already the legitimate wife?

Thinking of this, not only was Su Qianmo not displeased, but her mood actually improved greatly.

She pressed her lips together, suppressing her happy expression as she said, "Alright, this is all a misunderstanding. That girl is Mr. Gu's sister. Don't focus your attention on these things, pay more attention to your work instead."

"Sister?"

Everyone's expressions turned strange.

Yesterday that girl had said she and Mr. Gu referred to each other as siblings in front of President Su, but they hadn't expected it to actually be true. More importantly, President Su actually believed it?

Was their president really this naive?

How could she not see through such an obvious attempt at deception?

"President Su, that's not right! Yesterday that girl specifically said she and Mr. Gu only refer to each other as siblings in front of you, but you need to be able to tell the difference!"

"Yes, President Su, you can't just believe everything Mr. Gu says!"

Everyone tried their best to explain everything to Su Qianmo, who found herself feeling increasingly awkward as she listened.

How could she not know the true relationship between Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon?

"Um, you all..."

Su Qianmo paused before saying, "You should all go home now. I trust Mr. Gu's character."

Everyone: Σ(゚Д゚;)

Damn, President Su really was naive! How could she not have any doubts about Mr. Gu at all? She was just too innocent!

How could Mr. Gu bear to deceive such an innocent President Su!

This wouldn't do. They had to make President Su see Mr. Gu's true nature.

She didn't believe them this time because they had no evidence, but next time they would present the evidence right in front of President Su!

Then President Su would surely see Mr. Gu's true colors!

......

In the Caiying parking lot.

Gu Chenan slowly pulled up a pink McLaren next to his Mercedes.

This car was specially picked up by Gu Chenan today for Su Qianmo.

Now that Gu Chenan's background had been fully loaded, half of the businesses in Magic City were connected to him, naturally making his available funds reach an unimaginable level.

When he went to pick up the car earlier, he had also ordered a car for Liu Mingrui, which would arrive in a few days.

"Wow, is this for me?"

Next to the Mercedes, Hoshino Kannon's eyes sparkled with hopeful little hearts as she watched the approaching car.

Gu Chenan got out of the car and placed his hand on Hoshino Kannon's forehead, smiling, "Do you even know how to drive?"

"No," Hoshino Kannon shook her head but immediately added, "But does not knowing how to drive mean I can't have one?"

Gu Chenan: ?

"You're really something else."

"So is this car really for me?" Hoshino Kannon asked hopefully.

"It's for Qianmo," Gu Chenan frowned, "You don't even know how to drive."

"I can learn!" Hoshino Kannon immediately jumped in, "Once I learn, will you buy me one?"

"Sure, I'll sign you up for driving school and you can learn at your own pace," Gu Chenan smiled.

Hoshino Kannon wanted to say something more, but just then Su Qianmo came down from the Caiying building.

"Qianmo!"

Gu Chenan waved, his face full of love and joy as he went to meet her.

Seeing Gu Chenan's expression, Hoshino Kannon quietly gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Why didn't you wait in the car?" Su Qianmo asked.

Gu Chenan smiled mysteriously, suddenly spreading his arms wide: "Ta-da! This is for you!"

Su Qianmo followed Gu Chenan's gesture and looked, her eyes first widening in surprise before breaking into an uncontainable, radiant smile.

"Thank you, Chenan."

Gu Chenan smiled, "No need for thanks between us."

Su Qianmo smiled and rested her head against Gu Chenan's chest, "But I still want to say it."

Seeing this affectionate display between Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo, Hoshino Kannon nearly ground her back teeth to powder.

In the novel world, she had already experienced jealousy over Su Qianmo several times, and now seeing this scene in the real world made her feel absolutely terrible.

Who could understand? Coming to the real world only to see your beloved being lovey-dovey with another woman—these were Hoshino Kannon's true feelings at this moment.

However, she still forcefully suppressed her bubbling jealousy and squeezed out a smile, nodding to Su Qianmo, "Miss Su."

Su Qianmo nodded and said, "Kannon-chan, how about I drive you home?"

Hoshino Kannon looked at Gu Chenan and then at Su Qianmo, then shook her head, "No need, Miss Su. I'll just ride with Chenan."

Hmph, what do you mean you'll drive me home? You just don't want me riding in Chenan's car!

"Oh, alright then." Su Qianmo nodded and looked at Gu Chenan, "Mingrui has probably finished preparing dinner, don't keep her waiting too long. I'll head back first."

"Okay, I'll go straight home too," Gu Chenan nodded.

Hoshino Kannon turned her head and quietly clicked her tongue, silently criticizing in her heart: "You just don't want Chenan to take me anywhere fun, what's all this about not keeping Miss Liu waiting for dinner? So hypocritical!"

After watching Su Qianmo's car drive away, Gu Chenan turned back and said, "Let's go, we're heading home too."

Hoshino Kannon pouted, "I don't want to."

Gu Chenan: ?
