<h4>Chapter 17 Bad sign?</h4>


    Yu Empire...


    Inside an elegant and masculine private office with floor-to-ceiling windows upying the most scenic spot of the building, a man dressed in a ck tailored suit was sitting at a desk with a ck ss surface.


    The air in the room was unusually frigid. The men with him were quiet but curiosity was evident in their eyes. It was as if they were speaking with each other through telepathy, asking each other why their boss looked like he was a problematic man extremely upset over a mysterious puzzle he couldn’t answer no matter how much he thought about it.


    Their usually calm boss, Yu Chen, was oozing with an ufortable aura. He had been like that since he left his room this morning and his men had no clue, except for Gu Jinyang and Guan Ye, who were with him in his studyst night.


    Moments went by and as expected, Gu Wei was the first to snap. He couldn’t bear it any longer, his curiosity was killing him so he pulled Guan Ye to the back, wrapped his arm tight around his shoulders and whispered at him.


    "What happenedst night? Did Gu Jinyang roast his n and called it trash or something? Is that why he’s acting like this now?" Gu Wei asked, causing Guan Ye’s shoulders to drop.


    Guan Ye didn’t want to speak and answer at all. He was the type who disliked talking but he knew that if he didn’t speak, this talking machine would surely bug him to no end.


    Sighing, Guan Ye could only raise his white g.


    "Nothing like that happened. He discussed his ns with us and the n is going well." He finally answered but Guan Ye was not satisfied at all.


    "Then why is he like that? It seems like he is anxious about his n but I don’t think that’s it. I can sense something different. Did you notice anything? I’m sure there’s a reason."


    "I didn’t notice anything. The talkst night was absolutely smooth."


    "Then why the hell is he like that?"


    "I don’t know."


    "Don’t lie. C’mon, think about it! Very carefully!"


    "..."


    "There’s no way that he bes like this without a reason! C’mon, think! What about his gestures or what he was doingst night?"


    "..."


    "Or anything unusual. I’m sure there must be some clue. C’mon, say it, say it! Say it!"


    As Gu Wei continued asking him without any sign of stopping, Guan Ye was cursing him in his mind. God knows how he couldn’t stand talkative and noisy people. He wanted to smack this person and shut his mouth but he was just too strong for him to go against with.


    Tch! Damn it Gu Wei, one day, I’ll beat you until you won’t even dare try treating me as your means just to satisfy your gossiping stomach again!


    Knowing that he could not escape, Guan Ye could only force himself to think. He did notice something unusual about the bossst night but he simply ignored it and even forgot about it until this Gu Wei started forcefully sucking it out of him.


    "Okay, okay, shut up now, please! I’ll say something unusual but promise me you won’t bother me again." Guan Ye quickly made a deal.


    "OKAY! I swear. C’mon dude, stop beating around the bush and just spit it out!"


    Guan Ye then nced at the man behind the desk before he began to speak. "I noticed him constantly looking at his phone. He looked like he was waiting for something."


    As soon as those words reached Gu Wei’s ears, his eyes immediately narrowed. Guan Ye, on the other hand, hastily removed Gu Wei’s arm and slipped away as swiftly as he could, leaving the talking machine acting like Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce the truth behind the clue he just heard.


    Waiting for something? A call or a message? That’s something really unusual. Boss never wait for anyone ’s call. Wait... could it be that... SERIOUSLY!!!


    Gu Wei’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Yu Chen. But before he could move and confront the boss, Yu Chen’s voice halted him in ce.


    "Gu Jinyang... I think her disappointment towards me might really be worse than I thought. Won’t this affect my perfect n?"


    Yu Chen’s words were obviously a surprise to Gu Jinyang that he immediately looked at his boss with a confused frown across his face.


    "W-what makes you think like that?" Gu Jinyang could only ask and Yu Chen nced at him, his expression still the same.


    "I gave her my number and yet she hasn’t even bothered to send me a message. Isn’t that a bad sign?"


    Everyone: ". . ."


    So this was what he had been thinking about sincest night? He was like this because he was waiting for a message from her?!!!
