Chu Zi thought of Chu An, who kept telling him about himself and Gu Xiao on the phone, and raised his hand weakly to rub his nose.

He had never known that Chu An, who was usually silent in front of them, would actually talk non-stop in front of him.

It was just that… if the other party had not been talking about his daily love life with Gu Xiao, he might be able to accept it more easily.

After all, for the sake of work, he had left the gentle arms of his wife early. As for that kid, even if he woke up, he could still return to the gentle arms of his girlfriend.

Chu Zi thought helplessly. When he came back to his senses, he met the gossipy gaze of his partner.

It seemed that no matter what cla.s.s of people they were, they could not escape the attraction of gossip.

He put down his hand that was kneading his nose, and his expression returned to its usual calm and self-possessed state.

“It’s nothing. Let’s continue talking about the cooperation just now.”

Seeing that Chu Zi was unwilling to say more, although the partner felt a little regretful, he still knew that work was important, so he retracted his curiosity and continued to discuss the project just now with Chu Zi.

Chu An didn’t know that because of a phone call, his brother had experienced the teasing of his partner. He looked at the phone that had been hung up by Chu Zi, and after meeting Gu Xiao’s gaze, he put aside the matter of his brother, Chu Zi.

“Brother Chu Zi hung up?”

After Chu An wrapped his arms around Gu Xiao’s waist, he nodded. “Mm, maybe he’s busy.”

Gu Xiao thought of what Chu An had said on the phone just now and suddenly felt that Chu Zi might have hung up because he was annoyed with Chu An.

However… Gu Xiao looked at Chu An, who was leaning against her.

Although Chu An didn’t care about these things, it was better not to say this guess of hers.

“I’ve already contacted my family. What did Brother Chen say?”

“I’ve already contacted Brother, but because of the previous influence of the Ji Group, Brother will be rather busy during this period of time. Perhaps…”

“It’s alright. My family is not in a hurry. When Brother Chen has time, we can gather and discuss it.”

Before Gu Xiao could finish, Chu An had already answered Gu Xiao’s unspoken words.

After all, this matter concerned the meeting of the two families for an engagement, so Ji Chen had to attend no matter what.

Although he wanted to confirm his relationship with Gu Xiao as soon as possible, he did not want to leave a bad impression on Ji Chen because he was too anxious.

He knew that Ji Chen was very dissatisfied with him at the beginning.

If not for the fact that the other party had seen how much he valued Xiaoxiao, it would have been a question mark whether the other party could even agree to this matter.

Therefore, they could take it slow, and he was not in too much of a hurry either.

Because Ji Chen’s company was busy, the gathering time between the two families was postponed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Xiao and Chu An also went to Star Brilliance, intending to take a look at the current situation of Star Brilliance.

When the two of them appeared at Star Brilliance, the employees were slightly surprised, but they quickly reacted and greeted them.

Gu Xiao and Chu An only nodded indifferently in response.

After the two of them got into the elevator, the employees behind them revealed gossipy expressions.

They had been following up on the matter of Ji Gao’s swapping the two children recently. The only pity was that Ji Gao did not go to jail because of this.

However, seeing that Gu Xiao and Chu An didn’t seem to be affected by this matter today, the employees felt much better.

Gu Xiao and Chu An had just sat down in Gu Xiao’s office when Tian Xian received the news and knocked on Gu Xiao’s office door.

“President Gu, President Chu, I’m here to report the operations of Star Brilliance during this period of time.”

Upon hearing Tian Xian’s words, Gu Xiao raised her voice slightly. “Enter.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Tian Xian walked in and closed the office door behind him. Then, he nodded at Gu Xiao and Chu An.

“President Gu, President Chu.”

Gu Xiao nodded slightly and gestured to the chair at one side. “Just sit and talk.”

Tian Xian thanked her and sat down on the chair. He paused and organized his words before starting to report what had happened in Star Brilliance for the past year.

However, after Tian Xian finished speaking, he had no intention of leaving. A hesitant expression appeared on his face..
