Chapter 212: Is it Just a Coincidence?
The today was terrible. The sun was shining gloriously, birds were chirping, and flowers were in bloom. It was an ideal day for a date. Nevertheless, Gu Fan cast all his worries and troubles aside and rushed to Leng Le’s place, banging on the door of her office.
Leng Le opened the door. Seeing that it was Gu Fan, she crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe, her face emotionless. "What brings you here?" she asked.
Seeing Leng Le’s unwelcoming demeanor, Gu Fan felt disheartened. He wondered what he’d done wrong recently. Had they not seen each other for so long that Leng Le felt neglected and upset?
Gu Fan presented a gift box: "I came to give my beautiful girlfriend a small gift."
"Thanks!" Leng Le took it with disinterest, showing no signs of happiness. She even went on to say, "Gu Fan, even though we are close, this is a workplace, so be mindful of your behavior."
"Fine, fine, I will be careful." Gu Fan felt the atmosphere become exceedingly awkward. He and Leng Le used to flirt in the restaurant quite often. Today, something was off about her.
Gu Fan wondered if he’d done something wrong or if there’d been a misunderstanding — he wanted to clear things up. But then Leng Le huffed and asked, "Where were you last night?"
"Last night, I..." Gu Fan certainly couldn’t disclose that he’d been to a nightclub. Leng Le would most likely assume Gu Fan was misbehaving. Gu Fan had initially planned on saying that he was studying at home, but looking at Leng Le’s countenance today, his intuition warned him not to lie.
"Well..." Gu Fan scratched his head, unable to look directly at Leng Le’s questioning gaze, as if she had already seen through his little scheme.
In fact... I and Lu Yi..." Gu Fan felt uneasy. Should he tell the truth or not... meanwhile, he felt the pressure piling up on him.
Seeing Gu Fan stuttering and stumbling over his words, Leng Le couldn’t bear it any longer and blurted out, "Let me help you speak... Yesterday, you enjoyed yourself quite a bit in the club."
