Guo Chen would lock his bedroom door every time before going out, just to guard against what Chen Xinyi and Guo Xi would do when she was not at home.

Her mother passed away when she was a child, and when she first moved into the Guo family villa, she often encountered cold treatment and various treatment from Guo Xi and Chen Xinyi.

As a result, she is much precocious than her peers, and she is more familiar with the dark side of human nature and the truth.

Being defensive is essential, so she doesn't think that Guo Xi called her to come back this time just to see Guo Mingyuan's condition!

After all, Guo Xi and Zhao Ninglu have always been very close!

That being the case, of course she will be more cautious tonight.

After putting the bag in the room and changing into a set of home clothes, Guo Chen left the bedroom.

After going down the stairs, Guo Xi and Chen Xinyi were already having dinner, and they were still chatting about Wang Yu and Zhao Qingquan's engagement.

"I heard from Ninglu that Mr. Zhao bought a very expensive wedding dress for Wang Yu. Although I don't need to wear it when I'm engaged, I really want to see what that wedding dress looks like!" Guo Xi said brightly. Exclaimed.

Chen Xinyi smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, sooner or later a man will buy it for you."

Hearing this, Guo Chen just walked over calmly, not intending to get involved.

But Guo Xi and Chen Xinyi seemed to regard her as air, and continued to chat in full swing.

After finishing his meal, Guo Chen went straight upstairs.

Before the cooperation plan was formulated, she would naturally not slack off, nor would she allow herself to do some entertainment.

But at the engagement banquet between Zhao Qingquan and Wang Yu tomorrow night, her intuition told her that something was likely to happen.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to invite themselves, would they?
Even when something like that happened at the charity dinner last time, Wang Yu and Zhao Qingquan did not regret it.

Putting aside those trivial things, Guo Chen immediately plunged into his work and started to get busy.

At the same time, in the study of the Bo family villa.

Bo Qing looked directly at Bao Jingyi, who was slightly displeased, and frowned deeply.

Bao Jingyi pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, "Bo Qing, no matter how much you like Guo Chen, you shouldn't let her down at work."

"I'm not satisfied with at least 20.00% of this cooperation case. If it wasn't because of Guo Chen, why would you make such a simple mistake?" His face was full of sullen anger.

The thin lips were deeply drawn into a straight line, slightly whitish, and the deep eyes were faintly shimmering.

"Dad, since you were willing to entrust Bo's full authority to me, then you should respect every decision I make." His tone was as calm as ever, as if for him, compared with Guo Chen, his interests were simply not enough. worth mentioning.

He was even willing to confront his father for her sake.

Instead of being angry, Bao Jingyi smiled and said, "I didn't entrust Bo's family to you for you to chase after women!"

A gleam that cannot be underestimated flashed in his eyes, and his voice became more and more fierce and cold, "Bo Qing, you are a businessman. In the eyes of a businessman, profit is always the top priority. Successfully winning the project can bring you a lot of money." Give you money and glory, what can a woman bring you?"

"The motivation to live." The thin lips parted slightly.

As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to be dead silent for an instant, and the two still looked directly into each other's eyes intently, silent.

Bao Jingyi really laughed out loud this time, what does Bao Qing mean to say, for him, Guo Chen is the motivation for him to live?
He has no attachment to anything else in the world?
For Bao Jingyi, who has experienced a lot of wind and waves, this is simply ridiculous!
Simply, she no longer pinned her hopes on him.

"Let's go, I will entrust other people to handle the cooperation case." After Bao Jingyi said this, he stopped looking at the bright and firm gaze in Bao Qing's eyes, and turned around. Look at the news.

"En." Bo Qing didn't say much anymore, but went straight to the door and left without saying a word.

Bao Jingyi snorted coldly, but the sullenness on his face still didn't fade away, a person's name suddenly appeared in his mind, so he made a call.

……

In the middle of the night, Guo Chen stopped his work, closed his laptop, took off his clothes and necklace, and then took a bath towel and walked into the bathroom.

Guo Xi, who had been standing at the door waiting for a long time, heard a slight sound of closing the door, followed by the sound of rushing water in the bathroom. She swallowed uneasily, then opened the door gently, and walked in. .

Guo Chen's room is very tidy and clean, and the things are sorted and arranged in an orderly manner. It takes almost a while for her to find the necklace lying on the coffee table.

She tiptoed over, put the necklace in her hand on the coffee table, arranged it in an irregular circle according to the same shape, and quickly picked up Guo Chen's necklace and stuffed it into the pocket of her pajamas.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step out lightly, a sudden knock at the door made her tremble all over.

"I said Guo Xi, your brain probably ran away from home, right?" Guo Chen's cold voice came from behind her, with a trace of obvious sullenness.

Guo Xi smiled awkwardly, turned around, only to find that Guo Chen was wrapped in a bath towel, his hair was dripping wet, but there was not much water on his arms and legs, as if he had discovered her early in the morning. It's the same as entering the door.

"Say, what are you doing sneaking into my room?" Guo Chen walked towards the door, and leaned against the door of the bedroom leisurely, blocking Guo Xi's way to go.

Seeing this, Guo Xi looked a little nervous and guilty, "I came in to tell you that Dad's condition is finally better now, and I just woke up and wanted to see you."

After finishing speaking, Guo Chen was noncommittal, but he still didn't let Zhao go.

She looked around and found that the things in the room were still neatly arranged, as if they hadn't been touched, a suspicious light flashed in her eyes, "Why didn't you knock?"

Guo Xi is not a fool either, he has long guessed that Guo Chen is a very vigilant person, and it is very likely that he will find out that he entered the room, so he said the wording that he had thought of from the beginning:
"I knocked on the door, but I didn't hear your response. After I came in, I found that you were taking a shower in the bathroom, so I thought about going out first, and I planned to call you later." She said without changing her face and heartbeat. .

So much so that Guo Chen almost believed it.
