Chapter 21 How have you been these past two years?

grope forward in the darkness.Sure enough, the moment she touched him, she recognized that the solid chest she had bumped into in her sleep belonged to Gu Chi. She was dumbfounded, “Gu Chi How… how a...It's still the face I remember, but compared to her youthful and delicate appearance in school days, it is now more defined. Her brows and eyes also carry a touch of maturity.

More importantly, the face no longer held the gentleness she yearned for. All that remained was indifference, as if listening to her subordinates' reports, nodding slightly, and issuing simple instructions.

And her gaze, never once glancing at the woman beside her, strode straight through the crowd and into the editor-in-chief's office.

As the group left, a deathly silent office suddenly buzzed with activity.

"Whoa, I thought our editor-in-chief would be a menopausal woman or a creepy old man, but I was totally wrong! She's so young and handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah! First it was the CEO of Chi Yao Group, and now our new editor-in-chief. I feel like my eyesight's gotten better lately!"

Xiaomei, who was beside Su Kexin, was also particularly excited. She grabbed Su Kexin's hand and said with excitement, "My God, Kexin sister, I didn't expect the new editor-in-chief to be so handsome, he's simply... Oh, Kexin sister, why is your face so pale"

Su Keixin bit her lip tightly, shaking her head, unable to utter a word.

Xiao Mei was so excited about the new editor-in-chief's arrival that she didn't notice Su KeXin's strangeness. She was just excitedly whispering with a few young girls nearby, "Hey, what's the name of our new editor-in-chief I think it's Gu something...Gu..."

"Gu Yichan."

Xiao Mei and the others were stunned, turning their heads to look at Su Ke Xin, who had suddenly spoken up.

Su Kexin ignored them, her face still pale, staring in the direction of Gu Yichen's office, her eyes flickering.

It had been two years, and she, along with everyone else who mattered, had largely moved on. Yet his appearance still felt like a tidal wave, crashing over her and leaving her utterly overwhelmed.

Just now, as they brushed past each other, she couldn't be sure if he recognized her just as quickly as she recognized him.

Thinking of this, Su Keixin suddenly smirked self-deprecatingly.

So what if she recognizes him So what if she doesn't At this point, does she still expect him to give her an explanation, or hope for a reunion

Not to mention two years, he'd changed so much. Just her alone was no longer the Su Keqin she used to be.

Two years ago's nightmare, today's marriage. He and she, destined to never go back...

The next day, Su Kexin was constantly on edge, afraid that Gu Yichen would recognize her.

It seems she may have misread the situation.

Upon taking office, Gu Yichen immediately held several small meetings to discuss personnel and the magazine's positioning, making some adjustments.

At the meeting, he just listened intently to each editor's report, occasionally giving simple instructions. From beginning to end, he seemed not to have noticed Su Keixin at the end of the conference table.

It seems he has already forgotten her.

Thinking about it, if she had something worth remembering, he wouldn't have left two years ago without a word and disappeared completely.

Finally clocking out, Su Kexin didn't want to stay in the office for another second. She immediately grabbed her bag and wanted to leave.

She didn't want to, but at that moment her editor suddenly called her over.

"Wait a moment, Su Ke Xin, would you please take this report to Mr. Gu and give him a heads-up"

Su Keqin's body froze instantly, and she turned awkwardly, "Editor-in-chief, I have an urgent matter at home today, can I..."

Today, Chief Editor Chiang Lili was already in a bad mood because her performance at the meeting was not as good as that of the chief editor from the neighboring team. Hearing Su Kexin's refusal, her face immediately fell, "Su Kexin, do you think you've become big-headed after doing a popular interview"

Jiang LILI spoke so directly that Su Ke Xin's face paled. She couldn't say anything more, so she just said, "Don't joke around, editor-in-chief, I'll go now."

Holding the materials, Su Ke Xin walked to Gu Yichen's office door and took several deep breaths before finally raising her hand.

Knock knock knock.

But even just knocking seemed to have drained her of all her strength.

"Come in."

Hearing Gu Yichan's familiar voice from inside the door, Su Keqin pushed it open.

Gu Yihan's office, though lacking Gu Chi's extravagant grandeur, was still tastefully decorated. He sat behind his desk, flipping through the latest magazine featuring an interview with Gu Chi in his hands.

"Mr. Gu," Su Keqin spoke, trying to make her voice sound even. "Regarding this interview with Chairman Chi, Editor-in-Chief Jiang asked me to give you a brief report."

Gu Yichan didn't even raise his head, he just hummed. Su Keqin had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the report.

After finishing the report, Gu Yichan still didn't react at all. Su Keqin was already starting to feel overwhelmed.

"That..." She tried to suppress the faint tremor in her voice, "Editor-in-chief, if you have nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and wanted to leave.

Just as her hand was about to reach the doorknob, Gu Yichen's voice suddenly rang out from behind her—

"Su Ke Xin, how have you been these past two years"

Su KeXin only felt that all the energy in her body was drained in an instant, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Su Kexin."

Gu Yichen's voice sounded again from behind him, but this time it was much closer.

Su Ke Xin turned her head and met Gu Yi Han's narrow phoenix eyes. Her eyes were full of warmth and tenderness, just like two years ago.

"Ke Xin," Gu Yichen spoke again, taking slow steps towards Su Ke Xin. "After I returned to China, I kept wondering how I could get in touch with you. But I didn't expect our fate to be so intertwined that we ended up working at the same magazine."

Gu Yichen's voice was low and pleasant, as if carrying a seductive power. At the same time, he leaned closer to Su Kexin, his thin lips almost touching her forehead.

"No!"

Su KeXin suddenly woke up and pushed Gu Yichen away, staggering back a few steps.

Gu Yichen hadn't expected Su Ke Xin to suddenly push him away, he was taken aback. But when his gaze fell on the ring on Su Ke Xin's hand, he suddenly understood.

"You're married" Gu Yichen asked in surprise.

Su Keqin didn't have the courage to look into his eyes, she just averted her gaze and nodded.

A strange glint flashed across Gu Yichen's narrow and long eyes. He suddenly approached Su Kexin again, grabbing her wrist with force.

"What are you doing" Su Keixin was startled by him and tried to break free, but her hands were stuck.

Gu Yichen stared intently at the ring on Su Ke Xin's finger, and suddenly, a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Su Kexin, after all that effort, the man you painstakingly chose can only buy you such an ordinary ring with a few small diamonds" Gu Yihang spoke abruptly, his voice devoid of the warmth and tenderness he had shown before, replaced entirely by sarcasm.

Su Ke Xin was stunned by his sudden change of attitude. Before she could react, Gu Yihan suddenly let go of her and casually leaned against the back of the sofa next to her.

Looking at Su Kexin's stunned expression, Gu Yichen's disdainful smirk deepened, his chin raised slightly, and he sarcastically said: "What, Su Kexin, I was just acting with you just now. You wouldn't really think that I still have any feelings for you, would you"face as pale as paper.Xu Zui Ning also sighed, she now even if comfort too much it's no use ah, things have already happened, Zhou Shuang Qing's heart has already been hit.Where can one soothe with ju...
