Boss Mo’s Predestined Love Brought by Surrogacy - Chapter 721

Chapter 721 Never compromise

Gu Manman could feel that Gu Yan was getting closer and closer to her. She could even smell Gu Yan’s scent. It was not the scent that a mature woman should have but a kind of very fresh scent. Gu Manman could not describe what exactly it was like, but she could not help sniffing it a few more times.

Gu Yan walked over to Gu Manman’s side and tilted her head to look at her. Her eyes seemed to be asking Gu Manman what her problem was, which were like a clear pool of water. When Gu Manman looked into Gu Yan’s eyes, she could not speak.

She had really discovered Gu Yan’s charm by now. There was naturally a reason why Gu Yan was able to make so many people swoon over her. Gu Manman did not feel unconvinced anymore. There were many outstanding qualities in Gu Yan that she did not have at all. She still had to learn from her for a long time.

“No, Ms. Gu. Thank you.”

Although Gu Manman was a little flustered, her gratitude to Gu Yan was genuine. Today, she had learned a lot from her boss. Previously, she had suspected that Gu Yan would hide something from her and treat her perfunctorily. However, when Gu Yan had carefully shared what she had made with Gu Manman, Gu Manman realized that she had indeed judged her as a narrow-minded person.

This made her feel very ashamed, so she was even more certain of her gratitude for Gu Yan, which had a little guilt within.

“You’re welcome. Feel free to ask for my help if you have any problems in the future. All right, get back to your work now.”

Seeing Gu Manman’s sincere expression, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She finally saw a more satisfying expression on Gu Manman’s face. If Gu Manman kept putting on a careless face, Gu Yan really did not know how to communicate with her.

Fortunately, Gu Manman’s sincere gratitude made Gu Yan feel that her guidance for Gu Manman was not in vain. Although it seemed that she offered her some guidance, in fact, she did not do anything much but simply shared her own methods with Gu Manman. She thought that good methods should be shared with everyone.

She had never felt that she should keep the good ideas that she came up with to herself. She thought that since the method worked for her, there must be many others who used this method. She was not the first one to try it out, so she did not get complacent. She had always been very modest regarding work-related matters.

Gu Manman also heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the sincere smile on Gu Yan’s face. Fortunately, Gu Yan did not hate her because of what had happened earlier. If she did, Gu Manman would definitely regret it.

Luckily, Gu Yan did not hate her for the previous matter when she didn’t know Gu Yan’s character, so Gu Manman felt much more relieved.

And then she nodded at Gu Yan and turned around, ready to leave Gu Yan’s office. Her boss had taught her many things today, and now she was eager to have a try at what she just had learned.

Gu Yan could not help but smile when she saw Gu Manman leaving with a much lighter mood. “Gu Manman is indeed still a child. She always unconsciously reveals her childish nature. Sometimes, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about it, but I guess that’s what makes her cute.”

“What are you doing here?!”

Gu Yan was shocked by Gu Manman’s sudden raised voice. “What are you doing here? Who’s she talking to?” Gu Yan looked up and saw Jiang Jingcheng standing awkwardly in front of the door. Looking at Gu Manman, who suddenly opened the door and met his eyes, Jiang Jingcheng was at a loss for a moment. How could he know that she suddenly opened the door before he could hear anything of the conversation between her and Gu Yan?

Without hesitation, Gu Manman opened the door and saw Jiang Jingcheng standing in front of the door. Naturally, she would think that he was eavesdropping. Thinking of the various doubts he had about her design earlier, she felt angry. Now that she finally had got the goods on him, how could she let him off so easily?

“What… what do you mean by what I’m doing here? Of course, I’m here to see Ms. Gu!”

Jiang Jingcheng was flustered when he got caught by Gu Manman. Although he did not hear the conversation between her and Gu Yan at all, he wanted to eavesdrop on them and that was why he did not open the door right after he came over to the office. And this made him feel quite guilty about himself.

Facing Gu Manman’s confrontation, he could not help raising his voice, but he was not prepared for it. Moreover, the person in front of him was Gu Manman, who was well-known for her bad temper. He could not help but get tongue-tied for a moment, not knowing how to refute her.

Usually, Gu Manman would restrain herself in front of Jiang Jingcheng because she liked him. However, in recent days, she was angry simply because he did not trust her and she would not forgive him easily. Even though she liked him, she would never compromise when it came to this kind of matter.

Even if she had feelings for him, she would never admit that he was right to deny her ability. She knew very well that now with Gu Yan’s guidance, she could definitely make a design that everyone was satisfied with.

“Why are you standing here so sneakily? What are you doing if not eavesdropping?”

Gu Manman did not intend to let go of Jiang Jingcheng so easily. After all, his previous suspicion of her had really angered her. She had been holding back her rage for a long time, but she had no chance to vent it. Now that Jiang Jingcheng was standing in front of her, it was a great opportunity for her to do so.

How could she not cherish it? She had been mad for many days, and she felt the need to vent her anger once and for all right now to have her peace of mind.

“I didn’t hear anything. Why do you say that I was eavesdropping?”

Although Jiang Jingcheng was in the wrong, he did not eavesdrop. If Gu Manman forced him to admit a crime that he actually didn’t commit, he would retort and defend himself. Although it was inappropriate for a man to quarrel with a little girl in public, he could not just care about his face and allow her to smear him.

How could he allow Gu Manman to falsely accuse him? Jiang Jingcheng didn’t hear anything, which meant that he didn’t eavesdrop on their conversation. It was impossible for him to admit her accusation.
