Jiang Yansheng took a deep breath, curled her fingers, and quickly touched Gu Yan's cheek.
"Hurry up and put it on. It's so annoying."
As she spoke, she roughly put the whole mask on Gu Yan's head, and then quickly put on her own mask. She turned her head to the side, not looking at Gu Yan's face.
The man's low chuckle came into her ears, which made her scalp tingle.
He carried Jiang Yansheng to the front desk, where Gu Yan put her on a stool and went to talk to the receptionist.
Jiang Yansheng sat and rubbed her ankle, which was a little stiff after being suspended in the air for a long time. She looked at the receptionist and Gu Yan in a daze.
She muttered a few times in dissatisfaction, "He's wearing a mask, and he's still like this. What if he's an ugly monster who only has a good-looking mouth?"
After a while, Gu Yan came back with a happy face, and there was half a bottle of medicine in his hand. He shook it gently, and the medicine inside shook with it.
Jiang Yansheng frowned and made a place for Gu Yan to sit down.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan directly lifted his suit, knelt on one knee, and gently pinched the ankle that Jiang Yansheng had sprained with one hand.
His action was gentlemanly, as if he was proposing.
Unfortunately, the background was cold and cheerless white marble.
The back of Jiang Yansheng's ears began to heat up. She closed her eyes and wanted to push Gu Yan's hand away, but she resisted the idea.
Although her relationship with Gu Yan was not as intimate as what he said before.
But at least they were … boyfriend and girlfriend, right?
While she was in a daze, Gu Yan had already twisted the bottle cap.
He poured a little of the medicine into his palm and rubbed the red and swollen area for Jiang Yansheng with a seemingly skilled hand. It was a little painful at the beginning, but later it began to heat up, and the pain disappeared a lot.
"Is there really such a thing at the front desk?" Jiang Yansheng asked casually.
Gu Yan didn't even raise his head. "They wouldn't have specially prepared ointment. This bottle was prepared by the receptionist. I had to coax and pester them for a long time to borrow it. I still have to return it later."
Jiang Yansheng let out an "Oh" and patted the empty seat next to him. "You sit down too. Now that we're like this, people who don't know might think that we're master and servant."
"It doesn't matter, let them think what they want."
Jiang Yansheng was stunned for a moment and didn't continue.
Gu Yan rubbed it repeatedly for about ten minutes. After making sure that all the medicine had basically seeped in, he twisted the cap back with satisfaction and stood up to return it to the receptionist.
"I have to go back to look for Xiao Chuyun later …" Jiang Yansheng looked at her leg that was almost unbearable to look at after Gu Yan applied the medicine on it and whispered, "And I probably have to go back with him."
Gu Yan frowned and sat down. When he saw Jiang Yansheng shrink her neck, he thought that she was very cold, so he took off his suit jacket and put it on her.
"Is it very cold?"
Jiang Yansheng grabbed it subconsciously and said blankly, "No."
She faintly smelled the pleasant smell that Gu Yan always had on the tip of her nose. She curled her lips and said, "Now that you ask, I seem to feel a little cold."
Gu Yan glanced at her disdainfully. "You're being stubborn again. Put it on."
As he spoke, he slowly folded the sleeves of his white shirt into two, revealing the expensive watch on his wrist. He looked at the time and quickly looked away.
Jiang Yansheng didn't bring her phone, so she didn't know what time it was. She followed Gu Yan's movements and glanced at him, but he avoided her gaze.
"You haven't told me why you came here with Xiao Chuyun today." Gu Yan whispered.
Jiang Yansheng suddenly stiffened and snorted. "I just … asked him to do something for me, and he said that I didn't need to pay for it. I just wanted to dance with him at the ball."
"I have absolutely nothing to do with him. I'm innocent." Seeing that Gu Yan's face was getting darker and darker, Jiang Yansheng immediately trembled and stretched out her hands to make a big cross in front of her chest. "If he hadn't suddenly said that, I wouldn't have asked you if you could dance …"
Gu Ran craned his neck in annoyance. "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yansheng glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Gu Yan urged again. "What for?"
She raised her eyebrows. "It's not a big deal. I found a product spokesperson for the Jiang Clan, and then there was a problem. The confidential information of the company's products was leaked, and they all agreed that it was the spokesperson I found who leaked it."
"Didn't you say that Xiao Chuyun is good at controlling public opinion?" Jiang Yansheng shrugged. "That's why I looked for Xiao Chuyun."
Gu Yan snorted and even looked a little disdainful. "Then why did you look for him?"
"Can't he come to me?"
Jiang Yansheng looked away and said lightly. "Isn't your situation in the Gu Clan not very good recently? I don't want to trouble you … "
Gu Ran interrupted her and said in a cold voice, "This is not a problem."
Jiang Yansheng was puzzled. "Huh?"
"It's not trouble for you to look for me next time." He pursed his lips into a cold line. "Come to me next time if you need anything. Don't look for Xiao Chuyun."
"Okay. Since you're so arrogant, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't look for you next time?" Jiang Yansheng agreed with a smile, but he was secretly relieved.
If Gu Ran found out that she had revealed a little bit of the company's bidding to Xiao Chuyun behind his back, she wondered if he would be very angry.
Gu Ran's lips moved slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a crisp and melodious ringtone of a mobile phone rang impatiently.
Jiang Yansheng's ears pricked up. She watched as Gu Yan took out his phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yan's voice became obviously impatient, which was completely different from the gentleness he had when he was talking to her just now.
"I got it. I'll go back later." Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and the person on the other end seemed to be saying something.
She suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Gu Yan. When the man looked at her, she forced a smile, but she looked very reluctant.
"I'm not in the company now. Even if you go to the office, you won't be able to find me." Gu Yan took the phone away and said, "Let's talk later." Then he hung up.
When the screen turned gray, Jiang Yansheng immediately asked arrogantly, "What were you using to call me just now?"
Gu Yan looked at her in surprise and reached out to pinch Jiang Yansheng's nose. "I was using my phone, silly. Do you have to ask? " “
"Did you lose your IQ because you sprained your ankle?"
Jiang Yansheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She slapped Gu Yan's fingers away and stared at Gu Yan. "What did you say to me when we couldn't get out of the lounge?"
Gu Yan's smile didn't change at all, and he pretended that he didn't understand.
Jiang Yansheng was furious. "Didn't you say that you didn't bring your phone with you?"
If this pervert hadn't said that, she wouldn't have said those embarrassing words. Now, she was exposed by a phone call!
It hadn't even been half an hour!
"I forgot." Gu Yan blinked innocently. "I thought I didn't bring it."
Jiang Yansheng was speechless. She waved at Gu Yan weakly. "Since there's an emergency, go back quickly. I'll send you a message when I get home safely."
Gu Yan stood up worriedly. He reminded Jiang Yansheng and left with a cold face.
She sat alone at the front desk. When the revolving door was pushed open, the cold wind tried to sneak in through the gap and hit her exposed skin.
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help shivering and wrapped her clothes tighter around her body.
She didn't feel like this just now.
When Gu Yan was here, she didn't feel cold, nor did she feel pain in her ankle. Why did she get sick as soon as he left?
The door of the hall was gently opened, and the satisfied guests who had finished the party came out in twos and threes, talking and laughing as they passed by Jiang Yansheng.
She looked up and searched for Xiao Chuyun, but after looking for a while, she felt dizzy and absent-minded.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.
"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence."
She looked up and smiled politely. "Mr. Xiao has sharp eyes. I couldn't find you for a long time. How did you see me?"
Not only that, but Xiao Chuyun was still able to recognize her even after she had changed her mask. It was really not easy.
Xiao Chuyun raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.
"Maybe it's because Miss Jiang's dressing is too unique." He tapped the cape on Jiang Yansheng's shoulders. "Is it very cold?"
She was wrapped in layers of clothes.
Although Xiao Chuyun looked very gentle when he spoke, her intuition told her that Xiao Chuyun must be angry.
She felt a strong sense of anger.
Jiang Yansheng laughed dryly and took off Gu Yan's suit and cape. She supported herself with one hand against the wall and stood up. She bit her lip and pretended to be weak and staggered. "I'm sorry. I wanted to go into the hall to look for you, but my legs are too weak."
Xiao Chuyun helped her up, and his glasses reflected a cold light. "What happened?"
Jiang Yansheng said calmly, "Didn't someone take it away from you just now? I didn't know the person, so I walked to the edge of the dance floor with him and escaped when he wasn't paying attention. But I accidentally sprained my ankle, and it took me a lot of effort to walk to the front desk. "
"I don't know where this pervert came from." Jiang Yansheng scolded Gu Yan calmly. She felt quite happy. "He even tore off my mask and changed it for a new one. The one you bought was taken away by him, and I didn't have time to get it back."
She clicked her tongue. "It's a pity. I really like the black swan mask."
