Eleven chuckled, glancing over at her phone screen and finding it all a little odd.
There was a large screen behind her, and from what she could see...
"Are you in a meeting?"
Indeed, Gu Liancheng, who was on the video call with Eleven, was in a meeting.
Surrounding the elongated round table, two rows of high-level managers were pretending to be blind and deaf, looking away as if they saw and heard nothing.
"Hmm."
"You should continue with your meeting then, Iâll contact you later."
"No need," Gu Liancheng stood up and addressed the others, "Iâll be back soon."
Saying this, he left the meeting room and went to a lounge area nearby, adjusting his camera on the table. He sat down on a wheeled chair and turned to look at the camera: "Like I said, you can contact me anytime today, no matter what Iâm doing."
Gu Liancheng, who couldnât attend his wifeâs graduation ceremony, was already unhappy. If he couldnât even receive her video call, the entire day would be gloomy!
In this world, how many people have the opportunity to strut in like a parent and attend their wifeâs graduation ceremony?
And he could only watch as this opportunity slipped through his fingers.
To avoid causing any commotion, Eleven had repeatedly and firmly told him not to come, and he wasnât allowed to.
Eleven thought that if Gu Liancheng showed up at West Shadowâs graduation ceremony, she would make the headlines today. Everyone in Xicheng would be watching, and everyone would know the truth about the former Mrs. Guâthat they had divorced just as he was about to get engaged to Shang Muxue.
The engagement ceremony was ready to go, and it had to proceed no matter what. As for how to turn danger into safety, Gu Liancheng hadnât told her.
In his opinion, he could bear all the dirt of the business world alone, without wanting Eleven to touch a speck of dust.
He only wanted her to be his sweet, obedient little kitten.
"Isnât it a bit risky? The company hasnât completely weathered the crisis, and Gu Tianyu is always watching for your weaknesses to defeat you. You canât let your guard down, or let beauty bewitch you."
Gu Liancheng laughed, sighed, and said: "If only you werenât my wife."
"What? Do you regret it so soon?"
"Regret...." Gu Lianchengâs voice deepened, "If you werenât my wife, I wouldâve sent you to the enemyâs camp to bewitch them. Theyâd become so infatuated theyâd neglect their dutiesâ"
He snapped his fingers and smirked at the end of his sentence: "Isnât defeating them just a matter of minutes? Perfect, there wouldnât be any difficulty at all!"
Eleven: "...."
"Unfortunately, I got caught up in my own plan."
After saying this, he looked at Eleven and laughed even more.
Making a face at the camera, Eleven retorted, "Keep boasting! Want to take advantage of a situation without admitting it? You wish!"
"Isnât it necessary to express oneâs feelings?" Gu Liancheng said, "Where are you? Do I only get to see your face? Is Ye Fei there? Have her hold the phone, let me see what you look like in your cap and gown."
"Feiâer is not here. I donât know where that girl ran off to, I couldnât possibly keep track. Wait for me, I just took some photos, Iâll send them to you now."
She minimized her window to send a few pictures. After opening and looking through each one, a satisfied smile appeared on Gu Lianchengâs face: "My girl has finally graduated. Sheâs grown up."
