Chapter 569 The Balance Tilts

After Gu Yan saw a slight aggrieved look on Wang Sha’s always serious face, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Sha wasn’t mad at her.

Gu Yan also made a joke, “If I work here, then I have to be led by you for the rest of my life. I don’t want to do that. After I finish my study here, I will go back and develop my studio, and I will be nearly as good as you. Just wait and see.”

Gu Yan rarely joked, but these words made Wang Sha laugh loudly. She laughed at Gu Yan’s overconfidence, and was a little envious of her vitality and courage as a youngster.

“I’m waiting for you!” Wang Sha seemed to agree with Gu Yan’s joke. She said these words slowly and rhythmically, and Gu Yan nodded solemnly.

Then Wang Sha signaled that Gu Yan could go out to work.

The lengthy silence in the room and Wang Sha’s sudden burst of laughter made Li Qian’s mood up and down when she had been working in the outhouse. On the one hand, she admired Gu Yan’s personality and work ability, but on the other hand, she was worried that if Gu Yan stayed here, her promotion would be hindered. After all, it took her much effort to get to where she was today…

Therefore, when Li Qian saw Gu Yan smile and walk out of the house, her heart jolted. What did this smile…mean?

Gu Yan couldn’t stop laughing. Li Qian looked at her with a complicated expression, and she had a mixed feeling. She kept staring at her, trying to see something from her face, but she couldn’t see anything except happiness. She wanted to wait for her to speak, but everyone knew that Gu Yan was never a talkative person.

Li Qian was really depressed. She thought Gu Yan was just fooling her before. She said she wouldn’t grab her job. But what did this mean now?

Gu Yan was just doing her job well, and she didn’t even know Li Qian’s thoughts.

Today’s work was still as much as before. Wang Sha did not reduce Gu Yan’s workload owing to a business trip. Because Gu Yan remembered that tomorrow was the weekend, and Mo Xiangyan would come over for the weekend, she had to end her work early. Only at the weekend could she be with Mo Xiangyan wholeheartedly.

For the work and Mo Xiangyan, the balance in Gu Yan’s heart always tilted without hesitation.

According to Gu Yan’s inference, Mo Xiangyan would be able to come here on Saturday, because he had to go to school on Friday. And he also had his own career. Therefore, Gu Yan had been working like a perpetual motion machine. In Li Qian’s view, the reason why Gu Yan worked so hard was she wanted to stay here.

Gu Yan didn’t even have a sip of water. She was working all the time, and finally finished all the work that she needed to do in recent days before going off duty. When she returned to the studio before, Jiang Jingcheng told her that Mo Yichen went out to redeem the project lost because of Gu Manman. She didn’t know whether the project was over, and she was thinking about calling him.

But if she called Mo Yichen now, would it interfere with his work? She just struggled for half an hour.

“Why don’t you leave?” Wang Sha specially worked overtime for a while because her daughter was picked up by her mother today. However, there was nothing to do in reality. Besides, she was still thinking about getting off work early and going home to spend time with her daughter and parents. Her whole heart was filled with the extremely cute daughter, so she didn’t want to work.

Wang Sha didn’t force herself. The work efficiency wouldn’t be high if she felt ill at ease. It was better to go home early. Then she shut off the computer, and walked out with her jacket.

Gu Yan also made up her mind at this time, and decided to go downstairs first. If Mo Yichen didn’t come, she would take a taxi and go home by herself. It wasn’t too far anyway. She would send him a message when she got home.

Gu Yan checked her work again and confirmed that there was nothing left. Then she packed up her things and carried her bags out of the office.

At this time, she just ran into Wang Sha who came out. Because they were both about to get off work, they went downstairs together.

“Look at you. Your mind is no longer in the company before the weekend. You get off work more actively than anyone else.” Wang Sha saw Gu Yan raising her wrist to look at her watch, so she thought Gu Yan was in a hurry. Then she said a few words to tease Gu Yan, attempting to ease her tension.

Actually, Gu Yan didn’t have something urgent. She just wanted to check the time and see if she could get a taxi at this time.

“I don’t have anything urgent. I just want to know how long I work overtime, and how long I am squeezed by the capitalist.” Gu Yan was also in a good mood, and now she was off work. She didn’t have concern for Wang Sha’s position, so she teased Wang Sha like a friend.

“Such a facile speaker. I surrender. You will get the overtime pay you deserve!” Wang Sha watched Gu Yan joking with her in high spirit. How could she know why Gu Yan was in a good mood? A person who saw her daughter every day would not understand Gu Yan’s complicated heart.

The two of them talked casually. The elevator went down quickly, and they reached the first floor soon.

The door slowly opened, but Gu Yan’s conversation with Wang Sha didn’t stop.

“Aunt Yan!” Suddenly, a sweet voice rang, interrupting the conversation between the two people. Accompanied by this child’s voice, a little person threw into Gu Yan’s arms.

Gu Yan was pushed back by the child’s impulse, and she took two steps back unsteadily, until she retreated to a generous chest. Mo Yichen supported Gu Yan’s shoulder with his hands, and put Gu Yan in his arms.

“Xiangyan!” Mo Yichen called him, reminding him to pay attention to his behavior.

“Xiangyan? You come here so early? I thought you will arrive here tomorrow!” Gu Yan was so excited that she squatted down and looked up at Mo Xiangyan. As expected, Mo Xiangyan had grown a lot taller since she met him last time.

“This is Aunt Wang.” After Gu Yan said to Xiangyan, she saw Wang Sha standing aside, so she stood up and introduced Wang Sha to Xiangyan.

“Hello, Aunt Wang!” Mo Xiangyan hugged Gu Yan’s leg and greeted Wang Sha sweetly.

Wang Sha had just greeted Mo Yichen. When she turned around, she saw the sweet little person saying hello to herself, and she was very happy. After she had a child, when she saw the cute little children, she couldn’t wait to go up and knead their face.

Seeing Mo Xiangyan’s face, Wang Sha was shocked. This was obviously Gu Yan! No, to be precise, it was the combination of Gu Yan and Mo Yichen!

Although Wang Sha and Mo Yichen were not from the same place, they were at least in a circle. A few years ago, the news that Mo Yichen paid for someone for surrogacy spread quickly, and she also heard about it. Now, judging by the present situation…

Could it be that the surrogate woman turned out to be Gu Yan? Then why did this kid only call Gu Yan aunt? Wang Sha was also confused, and she didn’t figure out these problems. And as these things involved Gu Yan’s privacy, Gu Yan would not tell outsiders presumably.

Besides, she valued Gu Yan’s talent. She didn’t care about these things. Gu Yan’s past experience was just her own business.

The smile on Wang Sha’s face didn’t change. She just figured this out and smiled more sincerely.
