"Engagement is OK, but marriage should wait until she gives birth to the child." In the deadlock, Gu Tanfeng weighed the attitudes of the two and gave in.
Gu Tanfeng, who was the first to give in, got the attention of Lu Yunxue. Her eyes were full of inquiring. She searched his face and found no suspicious signs, so she nodded.
The wedding would be held as scheduled in half a year. Lu Yunxue was very firm about this. After the child was born, the responsibility on Gu Tanfeng's shoulders must be heavier and more obvious.
After getting the consent, Gu Tanfeng stood up and got the ideal answer. Gu Tanfeng turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lu Yunxue. He retracted his steps and stood firmly on the spot, leaving only his straight back facing Lu Yunxue.
The rejection was so obvious that Lu Yunxue noticed it. She smiled bitterly and said, "Tan Feng, do you hate me?"
"No, I hate myself for not being able to solve the crisis of Gu's." Gu Tanfeng looked at his firm back and clenched his hands by his side with more strength.
After answering, Gu Tanfeng left the depressing place, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.
A few days later, Gu's stock price gradually stabilized, and the speed of decline gradually slowed down. It even had a rising trend. At the same time, Gu Tanfeng also admitted that he was about to get engaged and announced that the engagement party would be held at the beginning of next month.
Although his face was still tight, Gu Tanfeng agreed. The news engulfed the entire city, not leaving a single corner untouched.
Sitting on the sofa, Wan Qianqian curled up in a corner, holding her legs tightly with her hands. She almost curled her body into a ball, trying to reduce her sense of existence.
Xin Yue and Xin Yi accompanied her, looking at their mommy with a bit of heartache in their bright eyes. They wanted to say comforting words, but their ability to organize words was suddenly weakened, so they could only accompany their mommy pitifully.
"Mommy, don't be sad. My sister and I will accompany you. We won't leave you." The clever Xin Yue held Wan Qianqian tightly with two white and delicate arms.
"Yes, mommy, my brother and I will not leave you." Xin Yi also held her mommy tightly, and her eyes were red.
The two small bodies seemed to have infinite power to wrap Wan Qianqian in it, giving her endless courage. The pair of empty eyes gradually focused, and the hands that were tightly hugging her legs loosened, hugging the two little babies tightly in her arms.
She rested her chin on the top of the two little heads, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. When she opened the tightly shut door to greet that person, she realized that he had once again left.
"Mommy is fine." Wan Qianqian, who was already heartbroken, put down the last trace of obsession in her heart, closed her eyes and said.
The mobile phone beside her rang. It had been ringing since the news was released, but Wan Qianqian didn't answer. Even the doorbell rang several times, but she didn't open the door.
The babies didn't dare to disobey their mommy. After a few days of isolation, they quietly accompanied their mommy.
The smell of gunpowder between Gu's and W Group gradually faded. Only in the past half a month of war, both sides had lost a lot of resources. Especially Gu's, which was almost defeated. With the help of Wan's, it gradually got on the right track and recovered very quickly.
In the same dark office, Xu Changjun sat in a chair and played with a pen. His eyes were fixed on the pen on his fingertips, turning it round and round, and a smile appeared in the darkness.
"If we continue, what are the odds of winning?" The meaning in the smile was indecipherable, and the voice was very cold.
The assistant, who was holding a pile of documents, lowered his head slightly and used one hand to push up the gold-rimmed glasses that slid down the bridge of his nose. "The odds are really not big. If it goes on like this, we can't hold on for long."
The pen in Xu Changjun's fingers also stopped and was imprisoned in his palm. His gaze gradually shifted from the pen to the assistant. Although in the darkness, the assistant lowered his head to look at the toes of his shoes, he could still clearly feel the gaze falling on him.
The hand holding the documents trembled slightly, and his head, which was already hanging down, lowered even more, as if he wanted to bury himself in the floor.
"What's the reply from JK?" Xu Changjun knocked on the wooden desk with the pen and asked indifferently.
The emotionless voice always made the assistant a little flustered, and he answered truthfully, "JK said that they need to think about it for a while."
"What's the date of Gu Tanfeng's engagement party?" The news of the engagement reached Xu Changjun's ears. He was both surprised and worried. The face that he missed day and night suddenly appeared in his mind.
The assistant, who couldn't recover from the panic, suddenly short-circuited. He thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be at the end of the month."
At the end of the month? In the darkness, Xu Changjun's eyes flashed a glimmer of light. It was quick but extremely obvious, and the assistant immediately caught it.
A bad premonition welled up in his heart. The CEO seemed to have endless hatred for the Gu family. It seemed that Gu Tanfeng's engagement party wouldn't be peaceful at that time.
The considerate Lin Chenxi gave Wan Qianqian an extra week's holiday. After the holiday, Wan Qianqian returned to the law firm to continue working. The expression on her face was as usual, and there was nothing unusual. Even Lin Chenxi was a little curious when she saw her like this.
Lin Chenxi's hand touched his chin. From afar, she specifically told him to take care of Qianqian. Her gaze was always focused on Wan Qianqian. Until Wan Qianqian sensed that gaze and slowly raised her head, her gaze colliding with Lin Chenxi's.
"Qianqian, come to my office." Wan Qianqian looked blankly at Lin Chenxi's back as she left. She reminded him of some time and followed her.
Arriving in front of Lin Chenxi's office, she knocked on the office door. Soon, Lin Chenxi's voice came from inside. "Come in."
She pushed open the office door, only to see Lin Chenxi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Her gaze was fixed on the heavy traffic and high-rise buildings outside. She didn't turn around for a long time.
