After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

"Have you...ever thought about the relationship between us..." Gu Jinyan hesitated, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

Su Li's heart beat faster. She vaguely felt that what Gu Jinyan was going to say next might change the relationship between them.

Just then, Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy to be interrupted.

"Sorry, I need to take a call." Gu Jinyan smiled apologetically at Su Li, then answered the call.

Su Li sat quietly in the car, listening to Gu Jinyan talking in a low voice to the person on the other end of the phone.

Although she couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying, she could feel that Gu Jinyan's mood seemed to become a little solemn.

A few minutes later, Gu Jinyan hung up the phone. The ease and joy on his face were gone, replaced by a trace of solemnity and worry.

"Something urgent happened at the company, I have to go back right away." Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li apologetically, "Can you go back by yourself?"

Although Su Li was a little disappointed, she still nodded understandingly, "You go ahead and do your work. I can do it myself."

Gu Jinyan looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just apologized again and drove away.

Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan's car driving away, her heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

Is there really an emergency at the company?

Or was it that what he wanted to say to me just now was just a momentary impulse?

She didn't know the answer, but she knew that the relationship between them seemed to be undergoing subtle changes.

Su Li returned home, her heart beating like a deer. The unfinished words of Gu Jinyan in the car were like a seed, quietly sprouting in her heart.

She could feel that Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her was no longer as cold as before. There was a little more warmth and care in his eyes.

That day, Su Li worked overtime in the company until very late.

Gu Jinyan's reform plan involves all departments of the company. As his special assistant, Su Li needs to coordinate the interests of all parties and promote the smooth implementation of the plan.

During this period, she worked until late at night almost every day, but she had no complaints and instead enjoyed it.

"Assistant Su, why aren't you off work yet so late?" When passing by the tea room, Manager Zhou from the marketing department saw Su Li and greeted her with a smile.

"There is still some work to be done, Manager Zhou, you should also go to bed early." Su Li responded politely.

"Assistant Su is such a workaholic. No wonder CEO Gu thinks highly of you." Manager Zhou sighed, "But you also have to take care of your health and don't get too tired."

"Thank you for your concern, Manager Zhou. I will pay attention to it." Su Li smiled and watched Manager Zhou leave.

Back in the office, Su Li continued to work.

Before I knew it, it was late at night and the whole floor was quiet, with only the light in Su Li's office still on.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

Su Li looked up and saw Gu Jinyan standing at the door with two cups of steaming coffee in his hands.

"Why haven't you rested yet so late?" Gu Jinyan walked into the office and placed one of the cups of coffee in front of Su Li.

"There is still some work to deal with." Su Li was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gu Jinyan to show up in the company so late.

"Have a cup of coffee first." Gu Jinyan sat down opposite her. "There's no rush to work. Don't overwork yourself."

Su Li nodded and took a sip of the coffee. The fragrant coffee dispelled her fatigue and warmed her heart.

"The company's reform plan is progressing smoothly, and you have made an indelible contribution." Gu Jinyan looked at her with admiration in his eyes.

"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Su Li said modestly.

"You don't have to underestimate yourself. Your abilities are obvious to everyone." Gu Jinyan paused, his eyes became deep, "Su Li, have you ever thought about the relationship between us..."

Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Would he say what he hadn't finished saying that night? Just then, a quick phone ring broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the office.

Gu Jinyan's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.

"Sorry, I'll take a call."

Su Li suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and nodded.

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Lin's voice was extremely anxious: "Boss Gu, it's bad, Miss Tang... Miss Tang has returned to China! She is downstairs in the company now and wants to see you!"

"Miss Tang is back? I see." Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, and there was no emotion in his tone.

Su Li's heart was beating so fast that she felt her breathing becoming rapid.

Miss Tang, the woman whom Gu Jinyan once deeply loved, the name that had always made her feel inferior and uneasy, appeared in their lives again without any warning.

"There is still some stuff at the company, you should go back first." Gu Jinyan stood up, his tone returning to his usual cold tone.

"Yeah." Su Li nodded, trying hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, turned around and left the office.

Instead of going home, she came to the small garden downstairs of the company.

On a late autumn night, the cold wind was howling, the leaves were falling, and everything seemed so bleak.

Su Li walked aimlessly, replaying the scene when Gu Jinyan answered the phone just now in her mind.

His tone was calm, but it couldn't hide the panic that flashed across his eyes, which made her more certain of what Miss Tang's return meant to Gu Jinyan.

"Jin Yan, you are really here!"

Suddenly, a clear female voice broke the silence of the night.

Su Li raised her head and saw a tall woman with delicate makeup walking towards her. Her face was filled with a bright smile, like the warm sun in winter, making it impossible to look away.

Gu Jinyan, who was standing opposite her, showed a gentle smile on his face that Su Li had never seen before. He stretched out his hand and gently embraced the woman in his arms.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were back so that I could pick you up." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and doting, as if he was talking to a beloved child.

"I wanted to give you a surprise." The woman said coquettishly, raised her head, and her eyes met Su Li not far away.

At that moment, Su Li felt that her breathing was about to stop. She wanted to turn around and leave, but found that her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she could not move.

The woman took Gu Jinyan's arm and walked towards Su Li. She still had a perfect smile on her face, but it made Su Li feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Jin Yan, who is this?" The woman stopped in front of Su Li and asked curiously.

Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li, his eyes were complicated, but he hesitated to introduce her. There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She raised her head and looked at the beautiful and dazzling woman in front of her, with a bitter smile on her lips.

"Hello, I am……"

"Hello, I'm...Su Li." When Su Li said her name, she felt as if a needle had pricked her heart, and a fine pain spread out.

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had heard something interesting, "Su Li? Such a familiar name, have we met somewhere before?" She turned to look at Gu Jinyan, her tone a little coquettish, "Jinyan, do you remember? We used to..."

"Tang Wan, long time no see." Gu Jinyan interrupted her. His tone was still calm, but it couldn't hide the panic deep in his eyes.

"Yeah, long time no see." Tang Wan retracted her gaze and looked at Su Li again, but the smile on her lips was a little more provocative, "Miss Su, you are so beautiful, no wonder Jin Yan would..."

"Tang Wan!" Gu Jinyan's tone suddenly became stern. He held Tang Wan's arm and looked at her warningly.

Tang Wan seemed to be frightened by Gu Jinyan's sudden anger. She bit her lip and stopped talking. She just stood silently beside Gu Jinyan, her eyes slightly red, and she looked pitiful.
