Gu Ting has been waking up earlier these days to supervise her breakfast.
When Wen Ke’an woke up, Gu Ting was really not in the room. There was some noise in the kitchen, suggesting that Gu Ting was making breakfast.
Wen Ke’an slowly got out of bed, picked up her phone from the table, and prepared to freshen up.
“Awake?” Gu Ting emerged from the kitchen and saw Wen Ke’an, who had already finished her morning routine.
In the morning, Wen Ke’an usually experiences some grogginess if she hasn’t had enough sleep, making her a bit dazed and unwilling to talk.
With a facial mask still on her face, Wen Ke’an sat at the dining table to have breakfast.
She ate while looking at her phone, gradually becoming more awake.
Wen Ke’an’s eating paused as she looked in disbelief at some comments.
She slowly tore off a piece of bread, looked up at Gu Ting, and softly asked, “Did you comment last night?”
“Hmm?”
“I saw it all,” Wen Ke’an lowered her eyes to her phone. After a moment, she realized something was off.
“One thing you said isn’t right.” Seeing Gu Ting’s gaze, Wen Ke’an smiled and said seriously, “You’re still quite young now. You aren’t old enough to get married, so I’m the one waiting for you.”
Gu Ting poured her a cup of hot milk, smiling warmly, “Alright, then you wait for me.”
Wen Ke’an took a sip of the milk, thought for a moment, and said quietly, “When we graduate from college, and you’re old enough, we’ll get the marriage certificate.”
Gu Ting’s actions paused. He looked up at her.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, and the girl beside him was stunningly beautiful.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Wen Ke’an looked at him and mumbled softly.
As soon as Wen Ke’an finished speaking, she heard Gu Ting say with a smile, “I couldn’t be happier.”
Today’s company meeting was important, and as a shareholder, Wen Ke’an, who usually did nothing but wait for dividends, had to attend.
In the afternoon, Wen Ke’an put on light makeup to make herself look older, as she often appeared too young.
She wore a casual blazer with white sneakers, still looking like a university student.
“Should I wear high heels?” Wen Ke’an looked thoughtfully at her shoes.
“No need, this is fine,” Gu Ting said. “Heels are too tiring.”
Thinking Gu Ting made sense, Wen Ke’an agreed, “Alright.”
After all, it was just a meeting, not an event.
Once, she had attended a meeting in casual clothes and was stopped by a security guard, who thought she didn’t look like she was there for work.
As Gu Ting had to go to his company, he drove Wen Ke’an to the office building.
“Message me when the meeting is over, and I’ll come pick you up,” Gu Ting instructed.
“Got it, bye,” Wen Ke’an waved with a smile.
The meeting went smoothly; it was just a simple summary report. The company’s current development is very good, and Wen Ke’an knew there wouldn’t be any major problems.
After the meeting ended, Fu Huan came over and invited, “Wanna grab a meal together, An’an?”
“Sure.” Wen Ke’an nodded.
“Sis Wu is here too, let’s all go out to eat,” Fu Huan said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Sister Wu was a highly capable woman, in her late twenties, one of the company’s leaders and also Fu Huan’s senior.
Sister Wu went upstairs to handle some work, and Wen Ke’an and Fu Huan went to the underground parking lot to prepare the car.
Just as they drove to the entrance, they saw Sister Wu coming out.
Today, Wu Jie wore a white suit, with her hair tied up, and walked with a breeze in her high heels.
“An’an, it’s been a while since we ate together, haha!” Sister Wu said, looking at Wen Ke’an with a smile after getting in the car.
“The last time we ate together was at the annual meeting,” Wen Ke’an smiled and said.
“Right, right!”
Sister Wu had a cheerful personality and was an easy-going sister.
“By the way, I didn’t get to tell you something today,” Sister Wu said mysteriously.
“What is it?” Wen Ke’an asked curiously.
“A friend from Xia Entertainment Group came to see me today and asked for a favor.”
Upon hearing Xia Entertainment Group, Wen Ke’an already guessed it wouldn’t be good news.
“Probably because you’re so popular lately, they got jealous and wanted my help to mess with you,” Wu Jie laughed and continued, “Then I told them you’re a shareholder in our company.”
“That person’s face turned bad on the spot.”
“………”
Wu Jie’s words made Fu Huan, sitting in front of the car, laugh, “They must be shocked, didn’t expect An’an is one of us.”
“An’an’s video quality is high and has a lot of support. In contrast, Xia Entertainment’s artists mostly follow trends, with very little original content,” Wu Jie said.
In mid-August, Wen Ke’an finally returned to T City; there was a very important matter at home these days.
Currently, the family business is good, with several new branches opened, even expanding out of the province. So Wen Qiangguo and Liu Qing have been busy preparing the company these days.
The company’s location was chosen in an office building in Huaiyang District, and it’s almost fully renovated. Soon all the employees will move to the new office.
It was the first time the couple did something like this, and they weren’t very skilled in various aspects, having encountered many bumps these days.
But despite the challenges, they got through step by step.
Wen Ke’an was curious about the new office and went to the company with her father the next day after returning home.
“The location of this office building is a bit remote. Once we have more money, we can move to a better office,” Wen Qiangguo said.
The office was on the 28th floor, which was relatively cheap because of its remote location.
“We definitely can, Dad!” Wen Ke’an looked at Wen Qiangguo and encouraged with a smile.
Wen Qiangguo had been dressing more formally these days, wearing a black suit, looking spirited.
Since most people there were young office workers who usually wore formal attire for work, Liu Qing also started dressing formally, wearing a business suit skirt.
Liu Qing, being naturally beautiful, looked a decade younger with just simple grooming.
Wen Qiangguo’s eyes often lingered on Liu Qing, which Wen Ke’an had noticed for a while. She playfully teased, “Dad, why do you keep sneaking glances at Mom?”
“Your mom is getting younger and younger,” Wen Qiangguo said proudly, “My wife is truly beautiful.”
Liu Qing glanced at Wen Qiangguo in a good mood. “Always so glib.”
“There’s water in the fridge in the break room. Grab a few bottles for us.”
Upon hearing Liu Qing’s words, Wen Qiangguo immediately replied with a smile, “Alright, President Liu!”
There weren’t many employees in the company yet, so it quickly relocated. The company was short-staffed, and Wen Ke’an had no pressing matters these days, so he spent most of his time helping out at the company.
While Wen Ke’an was organizing files in the office, he received a message from Gu Ting.
“Where are you?”
Wen Ke’an immediately replied, “At my dad’s company.”
“In Huaiyang District?”
“Yes.”
“When are you coming back?” Wen Ke’an asked.
Gu Ting hadn’t returned with her because he still had work to finish and couldn’t leave just yet.
“Do you miss me?” Gu Ting sent a message shortly after.
“Miss you like crazy!”
“I’m back. You’ll see me when you get downstairs.”
“!!”
The office building was very tall, but it wasn’t rush hour, so Wen Ke’an quickly took the elevator down.
There was a small plaza below the office building, and after circling it, Wen Ke’an didn’t see Gu Ting. Just as she was about to send a message to him, she unexpectedly saw her father standing not too far away.
Next to her dad was a middle-aged man in a suit. She didn’t know if he was a business partner or a friend.
Wen Ke’an was about to sneak away quietly when she heard her father’s voice, “An’an, why are you down here?”
“Come over here, your Uncle Gu is here!”
Wen Ke’an didn’t really like meeting elders and tried to recall who Uncle Gu was.
But, she couldn’t remember.
Given the situation, it would be impolite not to go over.
Wen Ke’an obediently walked to Wen Qiangguo’s side and looked up at the uncle.
He was an uncle around the same age as her father, well-maintained, exuding a successful man’s aura.
“This is An’an, right? I remember the last time we met, she was just this little.” The uncle said with a smile.
“Hello, Uncle,” Wen Ke’an said politely.
Uncle Gu looked at Wen Ke’an and couldn’t help but praise her, “The young lady has grown so beautiful.”
After that, Uncle Gu turned his head to Wen Qiangguo and said with a laugh, “I remember when we were in the army, we used to joke about how if one of us had a son and the other a daughter, we would arrange a marriage for them. Hahaha.”
Wen Qiangguo just smiled and didn’t take the old jokes seriously, “By the way, how’s Gu Ting doing now?”
“Don’t even mention it!” Uncle Gu sighed, “That rascal only knows how to make me angry every day.”
“Hahaha, boys can be rebellious,” Wen Qiangguo said.
“Rebellious phase? You forget he’s a year older than An’an?” Talking about his son made Uncle Gu visibly angry.
From their conversation, Wen Ke’an gathered some information.
This Uncle Gu was her father’s comrade from the army, but due to some incidents, they lost contact and hadn’t been in touch for a long time.
While the elders were chatting, Wen Ke’an couldn’t leave, so she had to quietly wait for them to finish.
“Gu Ting should be in college by now, does he have a girlfriend?” Wen Qiangguo asked.
“He had a girlfriend ages ago, they’ve been living together for a long time.” Talking about this made Uncle Gu raise his voice in irritation, “The house is so close, and he rarely comes home, just likes to stay with his girlfriend all the time.”
Uncle Gu shook his head helplessly, “I have no idea what got into him; he’s so inconsiderate.”
After more than ten minutes, a black luxury car finally arrived. Wen Ke’an noticed a beautiful woman sitting inside the car.
Uncle Gu introduced her briefly, and Wen Ke’an learned that the woman was actually Uncle Gu’s wife.
“Alright, I’ll be off now. Let’s catch up over a drink sometime,” Uncle Gu said.
“Sure!” Wen Qiangguo laughed, “You’re welcome anytime! Hahaha!”
After the elders finally left, Wen Ke’an looked up at Wen Qiangguo and said, “Dad, my classmate is nearby. I’ll go play for a bit and come back later.”
“Alright, go ahead!”
Wen Ke’an noticed Gu Ting standing not far away. After seeing her father leave, she ran over to Gu Ting.
“Have you been waiting long?” Wen Ke’an looked up at him.
Gu Ting looked down at her, gently took her hand, and smiled, “Yes, a long time.”
“What were you talking about?” After speaking, Gu Ting glanced in the direction where Uncle Gu had left.
“That was my dad’s comrade, they were the ones talking,” Wen Ke’an thought for a moment and then added, “Uncle Gu kept complaining about his son.”
“Complaining about what?”
Wen Ke’an recalled, “He said his son is disobedient, dates a girlfriend and doesn’t come home, his whole heart is with his girlfriend.”
“But boys in love are probably all like that,” Wen Ke’an whispered.
Hearing this, Gu Ting chuckled lightly and nodded in agreement, “Yes.”
“But that uncle also has the surname Gu, and seems to have a company here, do you know him?” Wen Ke’an asked softly.
“Yes, I do,” Gu Ting said, “I’m quite familiar with him.”
“A relative of yours?” Wen Ke’an asked.
Gu Ting nodded slightly, “He’s my dad.”
“?”
