On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

Seeing this, Gu Wan folded his hands across his chest and explained anxiously:

"No, really! We just lost our balance for a moment and fell on the bed together by accident. That forehead kiss was just an accident. It didn't have any other meaning or emotions involved. I really didn't lie!"

Bai Xiaolu let go of Gu Wan's hand, with disappointment in his eyes:

"Then why are you so shy? I just touched your forehead lightly, is there any need to make such a fuss?"

Seeing that Bai Xiaolu stopped asking questions, Gu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't care whether Bai Xiaolu was disappointed at the moment, as long as the misunderstanding could be resolved.

However, just when Gu Wan thought that all this was over, Bai Xiaolu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked casually:

"Wanwan, tell me honestly, the reason you reacted so strongly is because you still have fantasies about Si Yehan?"

Although Bai Xiaolu really hoped that Gu Wan and Si Yehan could really be together, and she looked very excited just now, she was just satisfying her desire.

Because, on the day when Gu Wan and Si Yehan got their marriage certificate, she had already told Xiaolu that although Gu Wan had feelings for Si Yehan, she had also made it clear that Si Yehan could only be her dad forever. Xiaolu still remembers it vividly.

But Bai Xiaolu's seemingly casual question was like a sharp sword piercing deep into Gu Wan's heart, completely revealing the secret that she had buried deep in her heart.

And this is exactly what Gu Wan does not want others to know, not even her best friend, Bai Xiaolu.

Because she knew clearly that in the face of reality, the only thing she could leave for herself was this unrealistic fantasy. This was her last obsession with Si Yehan.

Gu Wan paused, then immediately denied:

"how come?"

But the expression on her face had already betrayed her.

Bai Xiaolu naturally understood this expression at the first moment, otherwise she would not be worthy of calling herself Gu Wan's best friend.

But this time she did not expose Gu Wan in person, but chose to remain silent.

Because she knew that as Gu Wan's best friend, Bai Xiaolu should do the most at this time - to leave enough private space for Gu Wan.

After all, one cannot decide one's own destiny in the world, and everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know.

Even though she and Gu Wan were as close as could be, she could not deprive Gu Wan of this right.

Because, as Bai Xiaolu, Gu Wan's best friend, she should be given respect and dignity.

Xiaolu knew that if one day Gu Wan really got over this hurdle in his heart, she would definitely be the first person Gu Wan wanted to confide in.

Just like that, in the warm sunshine that shone into the ward in the afternoon, the two girls looked at each other silently, and suddenly laughed again.

At this time, Si Yehan, who had just finished lunch, also returned to the company with a heavy heart.

When he stepped into the company gate, Assistant Wu came towards him with an anxious look on his face.

"Master Si, you are finally back!"

"What happened again?"

Seeing this, Si Yehan responded coldly and walked straight towards the office.

Assistant Wu hurriedly jogged to catch up and replied anxiously:

"It's still the cooperation project we discussed this morning."

As he spoke, he suddenly quickened his pace and rushed to the front, helping Si Yehan to open the office door.

Si Yehan walked into the room, took off his coat and handed it to Assistant Wu behind him, and said coldly:

"Why, are they planning to switch to the Jin Group?"

It seemed as if he had already guessed this would happen.

After all, the Jin family is the only group that can challenge the Si family.

Even though Si Yehan never took Jin seriously.

Assistant Wu took the suit, carefully spread it out and hung it on the hanger, then replied respectfully:

"No, that group of people haven't left yet."

Hearing this, Si Yehan suddenly stopped what he was doing, his face full of suspicion:

"Not leaving?"

Assistant Wu showed a hint of smugness on his face, and said softly:

"It was all thanks to my good words that I finally got them to agree to wait for you to come back."

He raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of confidence and satisfaction.

"Oh? Where are they now?"

Si Yehan glanced at Assistant Wu with a stern look and asked in a calm tone.

"Waiting in the reception room."

Assistant Wu replied quickly.

"Got it, let's go there right away."

Si Yehan stood up without hesitation and walked quickly towards the door.

"Master Si, don't worry. You don't need to go to greet them in person. Just wait here for a moment. I will go and invite them over right away."

Assistant Wu followed closely behind, trying to dissuade his boss from going in person to avoid losing face.

"How can that be? We were the ones who broke the appointment first, how can you still be so arrogant now? Isn't that impolite? Isn't that what I taught you?"

Si Yehan replied sternly.

Although Si Yehan was actually a few years younger than Assistant Wu, in terms of sophistication in dealing with people, Assistant Wu was indeed not on the same level as Si Yehan, even though he followed Si Yehan around almost every day to learn.

But in fact, given Si Yehan's status and position, it is understandable that he is arrogant.

After all, what these people value is the Si Group’s strong financial resources and background.

After being scolded by Si Yehan, Assistant Wu had no choice but to quickly step forward and take down the suit jacket hanging on the hanger for him and handed it to him respectfully.

Si Yehan took the coat and put it on neatly. Then he strode towards the reception room and said to Assistant Wu behind him:

"You did a great job this time. If this deal goes through smoothly later, I'll give you a raise this month and double your year-end bonus!"

Don’t underestimate this as just a simple statement about salary increase. If it was said by someone else, it would be fine. But you have to know that this statement came from the mouth of Si Yehan, the richest man in Hai City with a billionaire fortune. It must be a considerable sum of money.

Moreover, as the personal assistant of Si Yehan, the richest man in Hai City with a billionaire fortune, Assistant Wu, received more year-end bonus than others, even more than ten or twenty times that of some people. He was the envy of other people in the company.

And just now, Mr. Si personally promised to give him a double year-end bonus this year. At this time, Assistant Wu was already so happy that he took off.

"Thank you, Mr. Si! I will definitely work harder in the future!"

Assistant Wu, who had just been scolded by Si Yehan and was a little emo, was instantly overjoyed and answered, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

He secretly congratulated himself on not having put his efforts in vain, but at the same time he also realized that his previous idea was indeed ill-considered.

Just as Si Yehan stepped into the reception room, his long-awaited partners not only showed no displeasure, but also stood up to greet him at the same time.

At this time, a spirited young man in a black suit and a shaved head strode up to Si Yehan and said:

"Master Si, I have long heard of your name. My name is Mu Rui. Thank you for your guidance."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Si Yehan.

Although this person looks rather immature, it is not difficult to tell from his temperament that he is the person in charge of this contract signing.

Si Yehan subconsciously shook hands with the other party and apologized:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Before he finished speaking, as Si Yehan held the other's hand, a piercing pain surged into his heart.

The other party turned out to be a woman!
