There were many things on her mind, so when she introduced her ideas, Meng Nianyao was in a good state. She spoke with confidence, even better than the last time. After finishing the final discussion, everyone applauded.

While Meng Nianyao was happy, she also heaved a sigh of relief.

When Meng Nianyao was introducing the design drawings, she didn’t pay attention to Fu Yi and An Xinya. Now that it was over, she realized that although they were smiling on the surface, the emotions in their eyes were very complicated, especially An Xinya. The viciousness in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.

Meng Nianyao furrowed her brows and became a little more vigilant. When they left the city government office, it was already time to get off work. Fu Yi and An Xinya didn’t have any intention of asking Meng Nianyao to join them and simply drove away.

It was snowing now, which made it difficult to get a taxi, so Meng Nianyao called Gu Wencheng. Since they had come together, Meng Nianyao didn’t wear very thick layers. She was already freezing while waiting for Gu Wencheng.

Gu Wencheng got into the car with Meng Nianyao in his arms. His face was dark. “An Xinya and the others left you here alone?”

“Yeah, they probably have other things to do,” replied Meng Nianyao.

Gu Wencheng turned the heater in the car to the highest. When the car passed a pharmacy, Gu Wencheng stopped the car and went out to buy medicine for Meng Nianyao. Meng Nianyao didn’t like to take medicine, but this time, she obediently took it. However, despite that, she still had a low fever at night. After taking another dose of fever medicine, she finally fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, she still had a headache when she woke up. Meng Nianyao walked out of the bedroom. Sis Wang heard the commotion and immediately came over. “Madam, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Meng Nianyao shook her head. Gu Wencheng wasn’t in the living room. When she passed by the study, the door was closed.

“Where’s Gu Wencheng?” Meng Nianyao asked.

“Sir went to work.”

“Ah?” Meng Nianyao took a while to react to the information. She glanced at the time and saw that it was already past ten in the morning. She frowned and went to the bedroom to change. “Why didn’t you wake me up? I still have to go to work.”

“Sir said he’d help you apply for sick leave.”

Meng Nianyao stood still.

Sis Wang continued, “He also said that he will bring you to see a Chinese doctor at noon, so he asked you to rest at home in the afternoon. The porridge I made for you is still warm on the stove. Madam, please have some first.”

Breakfast was still millet congee, but the side dishes had been changed today. They were replaced by the small pickles that Gu Wencheng had forbidden her to eat some time ago. Meng Nianyao saw it and said, “Did the sun rise from the west today?”

Sis Wang smiled when she heard that. She brought over a bowl of chicken soup.”This is what Sir instructed me to do this morning. He said that you might not have much of an appetite, so he asked me to make something you like.”

“I see.” Meng Nianyao smiled, feeling warm inside.

After dinner, Meng Nianyao went to get her phone. Her phone had run out of battery last night, and she had turned it off. Now that she had turned it on, a lot of messages popped up on WeChat. Meng Nianyao opened it and saw that it was from her work group. She scrolled to the top of the and saw that the HR department had fired Fu Yi. She was stunned for a moment and continued to read through the messages.

She had just read a few messages when a colleague who was on good terms with Meng Nianyao in the company sent her a message asking, “Meng Nianyao, are you there?” Fu Yi was fired. Do you know why? Sigh, let me gossip with you first. Everyone said that Fu Yi was fired because of you…”

This colleague was a chatterbox and sent messages one after another. Meng Nianyao put down her phone after reading all the messages and started working on her laptop. The nature of a designer’s work was different from other types of work. It didn’t have to be done in the office. This was also one of the reasons why Meng Nianyao didn’t go to the company often and wasn’t fired.

They had breakfast at ten in the morning. Meng Nianyao wasn’t hungry at noon, so she asked Sis Wang to make lunch later. Meng Nianyao was busy until almost two in the afternoon before she went for lunch. Gu Wencheng came back just as she finished eating.

Gu Wencheng looked at the dining table and asked,”Did you just eat?” He subconsciously frowned. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Meng Nianyao’s late dinner.

“I only had breakfast at ten in the morning, so I’m having lunch now.” Meng Nianyao explained.

Gu Wencheng nodded.

Meng Nianyao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she realized that her tone was rather coquettish. She looked at Gu Wencheng, who looked back at her, and she suddenly smiled.

“What are you smiling at?” Gu Wencheng asked her.

“Nothing. “Meng Nianyao shook her head.

“Really?” Gu Wencheng grabbed Meng Nianyao’s waist and pulled her into his arms. The two of them were pressed against each other, and their voices were clearly threatening. Meng Nianyao looked at him and shook her head innocently. Gu Wencheng moved his hand to her waist, pretending to tickle her..
