The domineering president goes on a blind date

“Do you think this video is weird?”

It was only after Tong Nuanwan's reminder that An Xiangbei realized that he had made a big mistake.

"I didn't see it just now. The video has been altered." There was a small flying insect in the video, but it flew over the same place twice.

"In that case, then we won't know where Xingyao is?" Tong Nuanwan frowned, her eyes full of anxiety.

An Xiangbei searched the entire city for videos but could not find any trace of Gu Shuxuan.

"Gu's information network is no worse than mine, so it will take some time to find it. However, it also means that Ke Xingyao will be in more danger. Sister-in-law, I will do it as soon as possible."

The sound of typing on the keyboard was heard in the office. Tong Nuanwan knew that she couldn't be anxious now, so she could only pace on the spot.

Where is Xingyao?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind: the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Gu Shuyan also said this to her when she was hiding from Li Anhe.

"Xiangbei, check the surveillance cameras near Shu Yan's old neighborhood."

"Old neighborhood? The security there is very poor. Even if Gu Shuxuan is hiding someone, he won't go there."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

An Xiangbei was half-believing and half-doubting. After half an hour, An Xiangbei didn't find anything.

Did I guess wrong?

Tong Nuanwan leaned against the desk, biting her knuckles. Her brows had not been relaxed since just now.

"Although I didn't find anything, I found that a surveillance camera in one place had been moved manually, towards a wall."

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"No, the surveillance cameras in the old neighborhood will only work when they are broken. Normally, no one will get close to them."

"Xingyao must be in that neighborhood."

An Xiangbei stayed in the office and continued to look for clues, while they went to the old neighborhood together.

Inside the old neighborhood, Gu Shuyan’s former cake base is now completely dark, with only a flickering firelight indicating that there are people here.

My neck hurts, what happened?

Ke Xingyao opened her tired eyes, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

"you're awake."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ke Xingyao instantly woke up and her memories came back to her.

"Shu Xuan."

Ke Xingyao wanted to stand up, but her body seemed to be pressed down by something huge and she couldn't move at all.

Ke Xingyao looked down at her body. She was tied up with dark ropes. Even if she knew how to shrink her bones, she couldn't run away.

"Don't move, be careful not to get hurt."

Steady footsteps were heard in the darkness, and someone slowly squatted in front of Ke Xingyao's chair. The familiar face gradually became clear, and a big hand gently stroked Ke Xingyao's hair.

Ke Xingyao did not hide. She knew what had happened to her and now she needed to calm down before leaving here.

Ke Xingyao raised her arms and looked at the rope around her wrists. She couldn't break free by her own strength.

Gu Shuxuan placed his palm on Ke Xingyao's wrist, gently stroking her skin.

"Xingyao, I love you, can we get married?"

"I already have a heir."

Gu Shuxuan let go of Ke Xingyao's wrist, looked away, and after a moment, looked at Ke Xingyao again.

"Please be with me, I will treat you very well." Gu Shuxuan's eyes were full of pleading.

"I know."

"You know? You know why you're not with me?"

"Because there is only friendship between us, not love between lovers."

Gu Shuxuan looked at Ke Xingyao puzzledly.

Ke Xingyao moved her arms and adjusted herself to a comfortable sitting position.

"Shu Xuan, I believe you didn't want this to happen. I didn't choose you, not because you are not good enough. How can the CEO of Gu's be bad? We just met on the road, not on the road of love. Do you mean to deny the feelings between us?"

"There is affection between us. Can it be love?"

"There are many kinds of emotions, and love is the most fragile one. Why should we cling to this fragile part? Shu Xuan, you will meet your own love again."

Ke Xingyao clenched her palms tightly, her palms were full of sweat.

"I just want you."

"Shu Xuan, we can be friends happily, but being lovers is not appropriate. We have been together for a short time, and you may not know me well. My mother often told me that she hoped I would not marry into a wealthy family. Because the wives of wealthy families have to build good relationships with other wives of wealthy families every day to help the family prosper. And you should have heard of my reputation. If I don't get along with other wives of wealthy families, it might bring trouble to the Gu family. Will your mother allow me to do this?"

Feeling exhausted, Gu Shuxuan sat on the ground.

"Shu Xuan, we can get along better. Why do we have to get tired of each other? Can't there be other relationships between men and women besides love? Or do you think that every woman you know should marry you?"

"No, I only love you."

"Then, you..." Ke Xingyao gestured to the rope on her body.

Gu Shuxuan did not untie it immediately, but looked up at Ke Xingyao.

"I hurt you, do you hate me?"

Ke Xingyao smiled.

"I've already said that we are friends, how could I hate you? If you don't let go of the rope, I might really hate you because I feel like you don't want to be friends with me at all."

"No, I am not……"

"I know you didn't mean it. I often see such plots in novels. A moment of confusion leads to immeasurable consequences. Shu Xuan, do you also want us to be like this?"

"I didn't mean that."

Gu Shuxuan loosened the rope under Ke Xingyao's instigation. Ke Xingyao moved her wrist but did not leave immediately.

It was pitch black here now, and she couldn't even tell the difference between day and night. She probably wouldn't be able to run far before being caught by Gu Shuxuan, and then she would never be able to run away again.

"Why don't you leave?"

"As a friend, don't you plan to send me back?"

"You want me to take you there?"

"I don't even know where this is, and you're the only friend around me. If you don't send me off, are you going to walk back by yourself? As a friend, can you bear to do that?"

"Xingyao, you really don't want to be with me?"

"Shu Xuan, we are really not suitable for each other. Do you really want us to get to the point where we are disgusted with each other?"

"Then why is it Gu Junsi?"

"You approached me because of Gu Junsi?"

"Of course not. Why did he get you so easily, but I..."

"That only means that your love is not me, it doesn't mean that we can't get along in a suitable way."

"Xingyao, Xingyao." Tong Nuanwan's loud voice came from outside. Ke Xingyao was happy in her heart, but did not show it.

"They are here to look for me. You should go out with me so that they won't misunderstand me."

"Are you worried about me?"

"We're friends, it's normal for me to worry about you, let's go out together."

Ke Xingyao pulled Gu Shuxuan up from the ground. Gu Shuxuan looked like he was at the mercy of others and followed Ke Xingyao out of the room.
