Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 23) Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 23) Gu Shengyin looked at him with a touch of sadness, “Uncle He, don’t you like Qingqing?”

He Junyan coldly said, “I do like Qingqing, but it’s the affection of an elder for a younger one, not the kind you’re hoping for.”

Gu Shengyin stood still for a while, her drunkenness had mostly faded, and she slowly said, “Alright, I’m sorry Uncle He, Qingqing had too much to drink earlier. Just consider it drunken nonsense on my part.”

He Junyan stood there, listening to Gu Shengyin’s footsteps slowly move away, the door shut, and the room returned to silence.

He turned his head, looked at the empty room, then suddenly walked over to the cabinet, picked up the bottle of liquor that Gu Shengyin had placed there before and without even using a glass, took a heavy swig directly from the bottle.

She’s still young, she doesn’t understand what admiring feelings are, what feelings between a man and a woman are.

He Junyan, she’s young, but you’re not, you can’t lead her down a path of no return.

That night, He Junyan didn’t sleep at all.

On the contrary, Gu Shengyin, who should have been sleepless as well, slept surprisingly soundly.

The next day, when she came downstairs, she unsurprisingly did not see He Junyan.

Gu Shengyin showed a disappointed expression and asked the busy people around, “Sister Mei, where did Uncle He go?”

Sister Mei, unaware of what had happened between the two, replied offhandedly, “The master said there’s an important project at the company that’s very urgent. He might have to work overtime, and he may not come back for the next few days.”

“Oh,” Gu Shengyin dropped her eyes. He was avoiding her.

After his disappearance, He Junyan was gone for a week.

He never appeared before Gu Shengyin until she started school.

When Gu Shengyin was about to leave, she displayed her reluctance and grievances with extreme pathos, turning back three steps at a time. Even Sister Mei, upon seeing this, privately lamented that the master was really too much. After all, the young mistress was about to start school, and it would have been nice if he could have taken some time to see her off.

However, the truth was:
Gu Shengyin: “System, how was my performance just now?”

System: “…Very lively.”

Gu Shengyin laughed proudly, “That’s right. I understand him the best. He says he’s ignoring me, but right now, he’s probably somewhere watching my every move.”

System: “…”

Indeed, less than ten minutes after Gu Shengyin left, He Junyan appeared before Sister Mei.

“Has Qingqing left?”

Sister Mei nodded and couldn’t help saying, “Sir, if you could have come earlier, that would have been better. The young mistress waited for you for a long time. She seemed really upset when she left.”

He Junyan said indifferently, “Not seeing her now is for her own good.”

Sister Mei found this statement somewhat baffling. Had the young mistress and the master had a quarrel?

She shook her head, deciding it was better not to get too involved in the employer’s affairs.

Moreover, she had witnessed the affection between the young mistress and the master over the years; it wasn’t something that could easily turn sour.

Things would get better soon, she thought.

Gu Shengyin settled into her new class like a fish in water.

Unbeknownst to her, her every move was being watched by a certain man.

He Junyan looked at the pictures, where the girl’s smile was as radiant as blooming flowers, talking intimately with a friend by her side.

“Such an ungrateful thing.” He Junyan, looking at the photos, suddenly cursed.

He felt reassured that Gu Shengyin hadn’t been affected by what happened on her birthday night, yet he also felt a twinge of frustration because of it.

Seeing her like this, it was as if she hadn’t taken that night’s events to heart at all. Surely, those confessions and whatnot were just the ramblings of someone drunk.

And to think he had taken it so seriously!

In the heart of CEO He, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
