Chapter 110: It’s Already So Late

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

During this period of time, Meng Nianyao had been looking for information and drawing designs, but she had been in a bad state. If Fu Yi hadn’t called, she would have forgotten about the design drawings. She stared at the first draft on the computer screen, tied up her loose hair, and began to work.

Meng Nianyao was very serious as soon as she got into work mode. She ate a few bites of lunch and locked herself in her bedroom. Sis Wang was worried, so she brought her some water and desserts. Seeing that Meng Nianyao was working seriously, she didn’t disturb her.

Meng Nianyao didn’t leave the bedroom until almost 10 p. m. when Gu Wencheng came back. She didn’t even have dinner yet, and Sister Wang was still there. Gu Wencheng came back and saw that she hadn’t gotten off work yet, so he guessed that Meng Nianyao must have missed dinner again.

“Sister Wang, you can go back first. “Gu Wencheng went straight to the bedroom.

Meng Nianyao’s design draft was only left with one last point. At this time, Gu Wencheng suddenly walked up to her and told her to eat. Meng Nianyao was startled by his voice. She looked up and saw Gu Wencheng. She asked, “You got off work so early today?”

Gu Wencheng didn’t say anything. Meng Nianyao picked up her phone and looked at the time. She opened her mouth in surprise. “It’s already so late…” Her tone was very innocent.

Gu Wencheng looked at her, his serious expression almost strained.

“Is Sis Wang done cooking? I’m so hungry. Let’s go out and eat.” Before Gu Wencheng could speak, Meng Nianyao spoke first, and her tone was a little flattering.

“So you still remember that you should eat?” Gu Wencheng’s voice was a little sarcastic.

Meng Nianyao knew that he was angry, but she smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’m hungry.”

Sis Wang had gotten off work, but there were still dishes on the table. When the two of them walked over, they were just in time to eat. “Did Sister Wang just leave?” Meng Nianyao turned to look at Gu Wencheng.

Gu Wencheng took off his coat and washed his hands. “Mrs. Gu,” he said bluntly, “you wouldn’t even know if there’s a thief in your house, would you?”

Meng Nianyao snorted and made a face at him. During dinner, Gu Wencheng’s phone rang. His phone was on the dining table, so Meng Nianyao saw the word “Mom” on the screen.

Gu Wencheng didn’t answer the first call, but a second one came. Gu Wencheng put down his chopsticks and smiled at Meng Nianyao. “I’m going to take this call.” Then, he went to the study.

After Gu Wencheng left, Meng Nianyao also put down her chopsticks. Yesterday, she was too concerned about Gu Wencheng to think about his mother’s attitude and yesterday’s words. Today, she had received a call from Fu Yi before she woke up and started to concentrate on drawing the design. When she thought of Lin Ping, Meng Nianyao felt a sense of powerlessness and sadness. Lin Ping’s words yesterday were too sharp. She couldn’t say that they didn’t bother her at all.

Gu Wencheng came out of the study after about twenty minutes. Meng Nianyao was washing the dishes in the kitchen. He went to see her, upon which she turned around and smiled at him without asking any questions.

The next morning, Meng Nianyao was still asleep when Gu Wencheng suddenly woke her up. She opened her eyes and heard him say,”Get up and go running with me.”

Meng Nianyao was confused. She noticed that Gu Wencheng was wearing a set of sportswear and remained silent.

“Hmm?” Gu Wencheng waited for Meng Nianyao for two minutes. Seeing that she still hadn’t moved, he was about to urge her when Meng Nianyao pulled the quilt and said shamelessly, “I’m so sleepy. I don’t want to run…”

“You don’t want to run?”

Meng Nianyao turned around and used her actions to express her refusal.

“It’s fine if we don’t run. Let’s exercise in another way.”

Hearing the sound of the zipper, Meng Nianyao got up immediately, lifted the blanket, went to the bathroom to wash up, and changed her clothes. Meng Nianyao didn’t have any sportswear, but she had bought some casual clothes before, so she casually picked one out and put it on.

Gu Wencheng leaned against the door frame of the cloakroom. When he saw Meng Nianyao come out, he smiled. “Mrs. Gu, you’re quite fast.”

“Hmph!” Meng Nianyao thought of his threat and snorted.” Can’t you run?” After saying that, she went to change her shoes and left.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and the temperature outside was very low. Meng Nianyao was already dressed thickly when she left the house. Unexpectedly, she still shivered when she came out and subconsciously retreated.

Gu Wencheng slowly followed behind her. When he saw Meng Nianyao retreating, he asked, “Mrs.. Gu, aren’t you going to run?”
