When Li Yue woke up, Jiang Xu was no longer around.

She looked around the room and noticed that Jiang Xu was half leaning on the balcony door frame on the phone.

The sunlight from outside shone slantly in, casting a layer of light and shadow on his handsome face, which was so exquisite that it was unusual for ordinary people.

"Young Master Jiang, with the latest situation in the company, some people can't help themselves," the person on the other end of the phone said.

Jiang Xu's eyes were slightly lowered, and the expression on his face was always lazy and elegant.

He said, "They can't keep their composure. We have to keep our composure and don't close the net before the right time."

"Yes."

After a pause, the man hesitated and said, "Young Master Jiang, there is something else that I don't know whether to talk about..."

Jiang Xu suppressed the emotion between her brows and eyes and interrupted the man directly: "Speak directly."

"I heard that the Gu family's development has been gradually recovering recently. The young master of the Gu family has recently been negotiating a big deal, which is near you..."

Jiang Xu glanced at Li Yue subconsciously.

Jiang Xu was slightly startled when he found that she had woken up at some point and was looking here without blinking.

His whole mind suddenly felt a little heavy, and he looked back indifferently, with an inexplicable anger in his tone: "I know."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Gu Qingze is so annoying.

Jiang Xu thought irritably.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the bed moving slightly, and then Li Yue got out of bed and walked towards him.

"What's wrong?" Li Yue asked.

Jiang Xu put away her phone, looked at her and shook her head.

As if thinking of something, Jiang Xu spoke: "You're not feeling well, so I'll postpone the trip. I'll rest here today."

Li Yue did not expect that he was so delicate and thoughtful.

She nodded.

Throughout the morning, Li Yue just stayed in the room playing with her mobile phone and sometimes reading.

But there was also a part of the time where she stared at Jiang Xu's busy figure sitting at the table in a daze.

Jiang Xu is always very serious when working and will automatically block all interference from the outside world.

Li Yue's gaze traced from his gleaming black eyes, along the high bridge of his nose, to the delicate shape of his lips, and finally to his sharp jawline.

The man's complexion was cold white, and his sleeves were rolled up casually, revealing a strong wrist.

When the hour hand on the wall reached 12, Li Yue's cell phone made a ding-dong sound.

Li Yue looked at Jiang Xu, considered for a few seconds, and then said softly: "What should we eat for lunch?"

Jiang Xu stopped tapping in his hands and raised his eyes: "Look at you."

Hearing this, Li Yue thought for two seconds, "Can I go to the restaurant downstairs?"

In fact, as early as the first day she came here, she was attracted by the shop downstairs, but due to various reasons, she was never able to taste it.

"Okay." Jiang Xu replied.

He seemed to be finishing the work at hand. Li Yue changed her clothes and waited for a few minutes. Jiang Xu stood up from her seat and took her downstairs.

This restaurant seems to taste really good. It is a restaurant, and there are many people waiting inside and outside.

They waited for a while and finally got their seats.

Jiang Xu's cell phone rang at this moment.

He took a look and looked down at Li Yue before answering the phone: "I'll answer the call and see what you like."

Li Yue said hello, grabbed the menu in front of her and started reading.

She quickly ordered several dishes and waited for them to be served.

At this moment, Li Yue seemed to hear Gu Qingze's voice.

She looked around.Sure enough, not far from her table, Gu Qingze was sitting there, and there seemed to be other people sitting opposite.

Li Yue looked away and pretended not to see it.

She noticed that most of the food on Gu Qingze's table had been eaten. It was obvious that they would finish and leave soon.

Thinking this way, Li Yue felt slightly relieved.

She lowered her head to look at her phone, and suddenly she heard a strange male voice passing by her, and soon faded away.

"Young Master Gu, it is my honor to cooperate with Mr. Gu. Young Master Gu is young and promising, and he will definitely have a bright future..."

Li Yue couldn't really hear the rest of the words.

She never raised her head, only knowing that those people should have left.

But she stumbled.

She underestimated how sensitive Gu Qingze was to her presence.

The light in front of her eyes was covered by a shadow. Li Yue looked up and saw that Gu Qingze was standing in front of her at some point.

Li Yue nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Gu Qingze saw it and knew that she didn't want to see him.

He stood there and said calmly: "I found what you asked me to find that day."

She didn't expect that Gu Qingze would take her nonsense to heart, and Li Yue was a little stunned.

She watched Gu Qingze fumble for the carefully wrapped photo and handed it to Li Yue: "Take it back."

Following his movements, Li Yue could see the scars on his hands.

Although the traces have faded a lot, she is very familiar with these wounds and naturally knows what they are.

Gu Mingxuan hit him again.

Li Yue was stunned for only a moment. She looked at the thing in his hand. She smiled so innocently in the photo.

Unfortunately, it was all unnecessary.

Li Yue shook her head and did not pick up his things.

Her voice was cold, with obvious alienation at this time: "Thank you, but no need."

Gu Qingze's fingertips trembled, and his throat became a little tight: "I found it with great difficulty. Didn't you always..."

"No need." Li Yue didn't look at him anymore, as if she was facing a stranger.

Gu Qingze looked at her, Li Yue looked calm and didn't care at all.

Gu Qingze stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch something, but still didn't touch anything, so he slowly put it down.

He stood there in despair, his eyes always falling on Li Yue.

He watched Li Yue open the address book on his mobile phone and dial Jiang Xu.

"I've already ordered the food." Her tone was calm and gentle, but there was a bit of coquettishness that she didn't even notice.

Gu Qingze saw this and his heart tightened.

Not long after, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xu walking in.

Jiang Xu didn't seem surprised to see Gu Qingze standing here.

His face was still slightly darkened.

"Young Master Gu, we are really destined." Jiang Xu's tone was slightly mocking, the corners of his lips raised sarcastically, and there was something in his words.

Gu Qingze always stared at Li Yue.

Gu Qingze's look made Jiang Xu's eyes narrow dangerously, and he couldn't help but hug Li Yue behind him.

Li Yue took a few steps back, and her small body was almost completely blocked by Jiang Xu.

"Young Master Gu, if you have anything to say, why don't you tell me."

No matter how dull Gu Qingze is, he still knows that he is at fault.

He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, "I just want to return something to her."

Jiang Xu looked at the photo in Gu Qingze's hand, "Is this it?"

Before Gu Qingze could answer, Jiang Xu had already taken away the photos and looked at them carefully one by one.

There seemed to be no waves on his face, but Li Yue felt the chill on his back getting stronger and stronger.

After Jiang Xu read the last photo, his hand movements paused slightly.

Then, he made an unexpected move.

His long white fingers rubbed the photos a few times, then tore the unadhesive photos in half.

Gu Qingze's face froze, but he could do nothing. He could only watch the fragments being superimposed and torn apart again in Jiang Xu's hands.

The emotion in Jiang Xu's eyes was always dull, and he didn't stop until he couldn't tear it apart anymore.

Finally, under Gu Qingze's gaze, he threw all the pieces into the trash can.
