Chapter 193 Following your heart

Then Mo Yichen came to Gu Yan’s mind. But how could she tell him such kind of thing? Would Mo Yichen believe her? Gu Yan was confused and didn’t know what to do.

Sitting on the chair in her studio, Gu Yan was in a daze and stared at the documents in front of her. She turned the pen over and over again and couldn’t concentrate on her work.

Wen Yunfeng’s words haunted her all the time. “Come back to me and everything will be fine. Otherwise, I’ll send the photos directly to Mo Yichen’s company and make them public.”

Would Mo Yichen believe that she was innocent? They just became a bit closer to each other. What if he did not believe her? No one would believe her if they saw these photos, not even Gu Yan herself.

But what if she didn’t tell him? Wen Yunfeng would definitely do as what he said, whatever it took. But she didn’t love him anymore. She would never come back to him.

Being in a dilemma, she couldn’t make a decision.

She racked her brain but still couldn’t find a way out.

She was upset and perplexed and felt thirsty.

“Yuan Xi, please pour a glass of water for me.”

Hearing the name “Yuan Xi”, the assistant knew that Gu Yan must have called the wrong name. Fortunately, she was sent by Yuan Xi from that studio, or she would not know whom Gu Yan was calling.

“Rat-tat…”

“Come in…”

“President Gu, I was sent by Yuan Xi from that studio…My name is…”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Yan thought there was something urgent about her work. She turned her attention to work again.

She looked at the assistant, immediately sat up straight, and put down the pen, showing a concentrated look.

“I heard you calling Yuan Xi to bring you some water, but Yuan Xi works at the other studio. You may have called the wrong name. So, I pour you a glass of water.”

“Yes. Ha-ha… I forget it. Just put it here. Thanks.”

Hearing her reply, Gu Yan became absent-minded again.

The assistant put the glass of water on Gu Yan’s desk. She didn’t want to disturb Gu Yan and left quietly. However, when she turned around to close the door, she found…

Gu Yan still looked at the documents with her head lowered. She bent over the desk and didn’t move at all, not even her eyes. She swallowed and took the glass of water at hand to drink. Leaves of the green plants wiped her face, moistening her skin.

“Assistant Liu, the water tastes a bit strange. New taste?”

The assistant was stunned. She pointed at the bonsai on the desk and shouted, “Oops!”

“President Gu, you…”

Hearing the scream, Gu Yan spilled the water inside the glass and her clothes were splashed with water. She hurriedly put down the glass in her hand and wiped her clothes with tissues, trying to dry them.

The assistant ran to her to offer help. She was so cautious and said, “President Gu, what you drank was…”

Th assistant pointed at the bonsai on the desk and placed it away from Gu Yan. She quickly put the glass of water in front of Gu Yan.

Gu Yan looked at the glass that she just put down. Her eyes popped and she frowned. She tried to vomit up the dirty water she drank. The assistant patted her on the back and then handed the glass of water to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan felt better after a while. She then gargled with some water.

Finally, she got up from the desk and sighed, feeling exhausted.

“I am sorry, President Gu. I misplaced the water.” The assistant bowed her head and apologized over and over again. She was so sincere that no one would want to blame her.

“Take it easy. It’s not your fault. You can go to work now.”

Gu Yan waved her hand and motioned her to leave.

“President Gu, you seem to have something on your mind. You can tell me about it. Your life, your work, whatever. Maybe I can give you some advice.”

The assistant behaved like an expert, or maybe she did so just to thank Gu Yan for not blaming her.

Gu Yan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. After a moment of silence, she felt that her assistant’s words were very reasonable and she nodded.

“A confidante of my friend got divorced, but her ex-husband keeps threatening her with her past in order to make her go back to him. If she does not obey him, there will be serious consequences. Her life will be brought into disrepute.”

“What a scumbag! But how could she let him have something on her? How pathetic she is!”

The assistant shook her head and blamed both of them.

Gu Yan scratched her head. It was so fortunate for her that she didn’t tell the assistant the so-called confidante was Gu Yan herself.

“Well, since she doesn’t love him anymore, she could just follow her heart. She is still very young and she can do what she wants. Don’t bother too much about the consequences. In the end, things will mend.”

“Follow your heart.” Gu Yan repeated it over and over again, and she was suddenly enlightened.

“But her confidante falls in love with another man. Her ex-husband threatens that if she does not come back to him, he’ll give those things about her ‘past’ to the man she loves. What should she do?”

The assistant smiled. Never did she think that Gu Yan would worry about such things. But she could understand her. After all, those closely involved could not see clearly.

“Just let it be. By this way, she can also make sure whether the man she loves believes her unconditionally. If not, it indicates that he is just another scumbag. It’s better for her to let go of him as early as possible. Otherwise, she will regret it in the future.…”

Gu Yan was still a little hesitant, and she cast doubt on the assistant’s words.
