Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xiao was about to walk in Chu An’s direction, but before she could do anything, Chu An had already walked towards her.

Just like in the past, Chu An would always come to her side.

Chu An stopped less than half a meter away from Gu Xiao. He lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xiao’s eyes, which seemed to be in a daze. Secretly, he found it a little funny, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved it in front of Gu Xiao.

“Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about? Why are you in such a daze?”

Gu Xiao came back to her senses and subconsciously reached out to hold Chu An’s waving hand in front of her. Chu An didn’t stand on ceremony and directly held her hand back, interlocking their fingers.

“It’s nothing. 1 just feel a little melancholic after the college entrance examination.”

As for what she was feeling melancholic about, Gu Xiao didn’t take the initiative to say it, and Chu An didn’t ask too much either.

The two of them walked out of the examination hall, shoulder to shoulder.

In the eyes of others, the two of them were extremely close. Chu An subconsciously lowered his head and leaned close to Gu Xiao, who had also been walking beside Chu An. Just by looking at them like this, it could be seen that the relationship between the two of them was extremely good.

The two of them had just walked out of the examination hall when they saw Ji Chen, who stood out among the group of uncles and aunties.

Both of them were surprised to see Ji Chen.

They looked at each other and walked towards Ji Chen.

“Brother?” Gu Xiao called out in confusion. “Why are you here?”

Ji Chen looked at Gu Xiao gently. “I have prepared a celebratory feast for you. 1 am here to pick you up.”

He said naturally, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this sentence.

On the other hand, the uncles and aunties nearby looked at Ji Chen in surprise. They sized Ji Chen up with unknown expressions, then their gazes landed on Gu Xiao and Chu An.

Although these uncles and aunties did not say anything, Gu Xiao immediately understood what they wanted to express.

She lowered her eyes and chuckled helplessly. Then she said to Ji Chen, “Brother, we have just finished the college entrance examination. It is not time to prepare for the celebratory feast yet.”

As soon as she said this, Gu Xiao even saw an auntie not far away nod, as if she agreed with what she had just said.

“I believe in you.” Ji Chen said as he turned around and was about to walk towards the direction of the car. “I have already decided on the celebratory feast, let’s go now!”

If not for the fact that there were too many people at the entrance of the examination hall so parking was not allowed, he would not have let Gu Xiao walk this additional stretch of distance.

Gu Xiao had just finished her college entrance examination and was very tired. She should have gotten into the car as soon as she left the examination hall.

Ji Chen thought expressionlessly. There was nothing he could do about the crowd at the entrance of the examination hall.

Gu Xiao and Chu An looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed Ji Chen.

Although they felt that this celebratory banquet does not correspond to reality, but since Ji Chen had already prepared it, if they refused, they would also be rejecting Ji Chen’s good intentions.

After the two of them had a so-called “celebration feast” with Ji Chen, Ji Chen sent them back to the villa.

Originally, Ji Chen had planned to send them back himself, but after they finished eating, Ji Chen received a call from work which he could not shirk off, so he asked someone to send them back, while he went to the Ji Group to work overtime.

Every time this happened, Ji Chen would think about how to throw the Ji Group back to Ji Gao.

After all… the Ji Group was not as good as his own company.

After the college entrance examination, it would take more than half a month for the results to be released. Gu Xiao and Chu An had no plans previously, so they didn’t know how to spend this period of time.

However, before Gu Xiao and Chu An could discuss where to go for a vacation, Tian Xian called.

Upon hearing Tian Xian’s words, Gu Xiao’s originally relaxed expression immediately withdrew, and her expression completely darkened.

At the side, Chu An noticed Gu Xiao’s change and restrained his expression as well, looking over worriedly.

After Gu Xiao hung up, Chu An asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to the company?”

Gu Xiao put away her phone and was dazed for a moment before shaking her head at Chu An.

“No, no,” Gu Xiao muttered to herself. “However, we need to go to the company now.”

Seeing Gu Xiao say this, Chu An didn’t ask further. After standing up and finding the car keys, he drove in the direction of the company with Gu Xiao..
