Chapter 723 Everything could be possible

Gu Yan was very clear about Jiang Jingcheng’s attitude toward work, so she deliberately made fun of him with this matter. Did he really come to her to sign a contract? Not to mention her, even Jiang Jingcheng himself could not believe this statement, right?
“What contract? Give it to me!”
She said that to make his miserable situation even worse and get him exposed. She seemed a little mean by doing that. He could now tell that she was just teasing him. Hence, he decided not to pretend anymore. Wasn’t the reason that he came over was to find out what she had said to Gu Manman? Therefore, he no longer intended to beat around the bush.
“I’ll give you the contract next time because what I took with me happens to be the wrong one. What’s up with you two? What did you say to each other?”
His eyes lit up with curiosity. He wanted to know what she and Gu Manman had talked about in the office. Days ago, Gu Manman had been shouting at Gu Yan angrily. He really wanted to know why her attitude had changed so drastically all of a sudden.
And he really wanted to know what had happened in the office when he was absent this morning.
“What could we say to each other? It was about work, of course. If you have something to say, just say it. If you don’t, I’m going to work.”
Gu Yan did not intend to tell Jiang Jingcheng what had happened between her and Gu Manman. Firstly, she had only given Gu Manman some simple pointers earlier this morning and she thought there was no need to say about that. Secondly, she was well aware of the power of curiosity.
Yesterday, the atmosphere between her and Gu Manman had been tense, but now, it was as if nothing had happened between the two of them. Gu Yan was very clear about what one would do out of their own curiosity. If Jiang Jingcheng did not know what had happened between her and Gu Manman, he would not let it go so easily.
It was true that nothing had happened between them. Anyway, what they talked about was related to work. But if Gu Yan didn’t tell Jiang Jingcheng anything about it, would he go to Gu Manman to ask about it since he couldn’t get anything from Gu Yan?
No matter what, Gu Yan felt that she was creating opportunities for Gu Manman and Jiang Jingcheng. However, she did not know if Jiang Jingcheng’s curiosity was strong enough for him to go to Gu Manman.
As expected, his curiosity was further aroused by Gu Yan because this matter was really unusual. How could her relationship with Gu Manman suddenly become good? Jiang Jingcheng felt puzzled, but weren’t the relationships between girls always so strange?
Since Gu Yan wasn’t willing to tell him anything, he didn’t insist on asking because he was well aware of her stubborn character. If she didn’t tell him anything right now, it meant that no matter how much he pestered her, she wouldn’t tell him anything.
Jiang Jingcheng could only smile bitterly. “It seems that I’m really familiar with her.” He glanced at Gu Yan helplessly. Only then did he notice that Gu Yan’s complexion was very bad today, and it was the kind of bad condition that could not be hidden even if she had put on makeup. He felt worried upon seeing that. “What happened to her?”
The biggest possibility that he could think of was that she had been really too tired at work. He had witnessed her diligence at work more than once. Her small body was filled with the soul of a work maniac. He admired her very much for that.
However, her efficiency had been too high recently. At first, he had thought that it was because Gu Yan had stayed in Mo’s family and hadn’t had the chance to come into contact with the design work she liked for too long that she looked so tired. But now it appeared that things weren’t so simple. It wasn’t just that Gu Yan wanted to make designs by herself.
“She’s got something on her mind.”
This time around, Jiang Jingcheng was a hundred percent sure that Gu Yan had something on her mind. However, he was uncertain as to whether she would tell him about it. Upon thinking about if she would tell him about it, Jiang Jingcheng immediately shook his head. She would not do such a thing.
Definitely not.
She was definitely not the kind of person who would express her negative thinking and bad emotions to the people around her.
He knew her too well. When she was in bad mood, she would only silently bear her own suffering, no matter how hard it was for her. Previously, he would choose not to ask her about it because she used to have Mo Yichen by her side. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Jiang Jingcheng had seen how good Mo Yichen was to Gu Yan.
But after she came back this time, she did not seem happy at all and had been upset all the time. He did not know how to describe this kind of sadness of hers, but he could feel it from the way she looked because this kind of emotion was so obvious.
He was sure that something had happened when Gu Yan was at Mo’s family. But at the same time, he was also sure that she definitely wouldn’t tell him about it.
However, he did not give up. Even though he was just her friend, he felt that it was necessary for him to ask her about her feelings. If he did not ask anything and she was actually in trouble, he would not let himself become such a cold-blooded person who would be aloof to watch others suffer in pain every day.
“Gu Yan, what happened to you?”
Gu Yan was already immersed in her work. Now that she heard Jiang Jingcheng speak again, she naturally thought that she was still questioning what had just happened between her and Gu Manman. Gu Yan had naturally made up her mind not to tell him about that, so she could only shake her head and say nothing.
He stopped talking and only stared at her with a burning gaze. Even if she was unwilling to tell him anything, he felt that he still had to try. What if she was willing to tell him about her troubles and let him help her solve them?
Everything could be possible, right?
Gu Yan had made up her mind not to say anything, but Jiang Jingcheng’s gaze on her was too intense. She wanted to avoid it, but she just couldn’t get to do so. So she could only smile helplessly. “When has he become so persistent? If I don’t say anything today, is he going to just stay here and keep an eye on my work?”
She raised her head helplessly and looked straight into his eyes. However, what she hadn’t expected was that she did not see an eager gaze, but a concerned one.
She finally understood by now that what he wanted to know was not just what had happened between Gu Manman and her. And she was very clear about his concern for her. However, she had made up her mind not to say anything because she did not want to bring her negative emotions to her friend.
