Chi Yu responded indifferently: "When to make the relationship public is entirely up to President Gu's whim, isn't it? Why bother asking my opinion."
"Chi Yu!!" Gu Yuan suddenly got angry.
Chi Yu: "Is there anything else, President Gu?"
Forget it, Gu Yuan fell silent.
She thought Chi Yu must be very tired lately, which is why he lost his temper a little. But if it's about being tired, she wasn't having it any easier than him.
After returning from Haojiang, Gu Yuan focused entirely on her work.
She was insanely busy, swept up in a whirlwind of tasks, yet she still managed to squeeze in a call to Chi Yu every day. She spoke little, while Chi Yu usually had a lot to say, and their calls would last a long time as long as he kept talking.
But now, Chi Yu seemed to have nothing much to say to her. Their previously long chats, once lasting more than ten minutes, were now shortened to at most two minutes, sometimes not even one.
...
At the headquarters of Yingcan Century Entertainment.
Gu Yuan had a busy day and finally relaxed at half-past ten. She massaged her slightly sore neck and picked up her personal phone, scrolling through the call logs.
The person she used to speak with most frequently hadn't called her proactively for three days. During these three days, she had been the one initiating the calls.
Gu Yuan dialed the number.
She called twice, but nobody picked up. Maybe they're still filming... But if Chi Yu was unavailable to answer, his manager, Yi Shu, would usually send a message on his behalf.
Gu Yuan waited for a while.
She waited about five minutes, but received no message.
...
Exiting the headquarters building.
The car picking up Gu Yuan was parked there.
The rhythmic clicks of high heels echoed as Old Bai stepped forward to open the car door for Gu Yuan: "President Gu."
Old Bai was Gu Yuan's driver and had been by her side for many years.
Gu Yuan bent to get into the car.
Since Gu Yuan came out, Old Bai noticed her face looked a bit off, and before starting the engine, he asked, "President Gu, heading to Yujin No.1?"
Having been by Gu Yuan's side for a long time, Old Bai knew her disposition very well. Whenever Gu Yuan wasn't in a good mood, her spirits would improve as long as Chi Yu was around.
Gu Yuan: "No need, back to Gu Mansion."
...
A million-dollar white Rolls Royce drove down the avenue, and when stopped at a red light, most vehicles behind kept a respectful distance.
Sitting in the car, Gu Yuan occasionally took out her phone, opened WeChat, and the pinned chat had no red dot, no text messages, no calls... Feeling a bit agitated, she opened Weibo to check his updates.
The tags high up on the trending list were quite conspicuous.
Gu Yuan clicked on it and saw the trending search terms related to Chi Yu.

#Chi Yu New Drama Kiss Scene Leak...#
The second term made Gu Yuan's fingers twitch slightly as they hovered over the screen, and then she opened the so-called leaked kiss scene video.
In ancient attire, with a golden crown on his head, even his profile was stunningly handsome, Chi Yu held a woman in period costume in his arms.
The leaked video wasn't very clear in quality, likely hurriedly taken by a fan before being pushed away, yet Chi Yu's transcendent looks still shone through even in such poor quality.
That captivating, unforgettable profile, the high, straight nose—all of it was exquisite. In the video, he slowly lowered his head, his crimson lips inching toward the woman's lips...
