Chapter 492

They only dared to huddle together on their own turf to discuss it.

The man in the white suit was stunned. "Doesn't old '407' have a fiancée? What's going on now?"

Had the times really changed?

He shook his head, unable to figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

The woman who came over with a coffee cup tapped his head lightly. "If you can't figure it out, then stop trying to figure it out. It'll never be your turn anyway!"

Most people understood.

Everyone had taken a hit in love before, but how could a prodigy like Xu Can have only one woman!

When working at the company, one must keep one's mouth shut.

Meimei walked in from the door carrying the little desserts she had made herself.

The front desk staff froze on the spot. Going straight in like this would definitely run into the boss and that woman from earlier!

The employees who had been gossiping just moments ago also hurried forward.

His shuffling feet were a little awkward.

He had never done anything like this before—who knew what to do? God, please save him!

"Sister Meimei, why don't you sit here at our front desk for a bit? It's been so long since we've seen you—we want to chat with you!"

Meimei was taken aback.

Her big blinking eyes turned to look at the few people.

She gave a slight smile. "But you saw it too, the dessert in my hand has to go to your boss first. Once I drop this off, I'll come chat with you!"

It's still warm right now, so it can be eaten hot. In a little while it'll definitely be cold!

The staff, in their panic, rushed up and grabbed Meimei!

They could no longer be bothered to keep their distance from Meimei.

Pulled back by the force, Meimei took two steps backward, but she didn't take offense!

Strange—what was wrong with the staff today?

She frowned slightly, then went straight for the direct approach. "What's going on with you all? Is there something you don't want me to know?"

For a moment, the sound of papers rustling in the office actually grew louder.

Everyone was a little panicked, not knowing what to do to avoid letting something slip.

The lead manager helplessly rubbed his forehead.

These idiots were trying to use their busy act to cover up their awkwardness, but it only made things more obvious!

It still depended on himself!

He walked over quickly.

"Look, every time you come here you rush off. You're definitely going to trick us again this time. Let us take this dessert over for you—you come chat with us first. Who knows when we'll get to catch you next time!"

Meimei saw him snatch the dessert away and could do nothing about it.

"Alright then, tell your boss to eat it quickly. I'll be over in a bit!"

Anyway, the two of them had plenty of time to catch up—they could spare this little while.

Meimei turned and walked toward the front desk lounge.

Seeing the last foot disappear into the room, the manager took off running.

Just as he reached the door, he crouched down, took several deep breaths, calmed his anxious emotions, then knocked on the door.

Sister Gua awkwardly got up from Xu Can.

No matter who came in now, they would be able to see the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.

Even though Sister Gua was now keeping a certain distance from Xu Can, this atmosphere couldn't fool anyone.

Xu Can gave a light cough, casually picked up the documents beside him, and flipped through a couple of pages. 【】

"Come in!"

The manager held the exquisite dessert box.

It looked somewhat out of place.

He secretly regretted it too—doing this, he didn't know whether it would satisfy the boss!

One wrong step and it would all be over.

"Boss, this is the dessert the boss's wife sent you. She's in our lounge chatting with the staff right now and will be over soon!"

Sister Gua was momentarily flustered.

He kept searching for excuses.

As if the two of them had been caught in an affair.

"You can go out first. I know!"

The moment the door closed, Sister Gua quickly grabbed the bag beside her...

"I should still leave first. When someone comes in later, there's really no way to explain the relationship between us. Why am I even here!"

Xu Can unhurriedly closed the documents from earlier.

He grabbed Sister Gua, spun her around, and held the woman in his arms.

He leaned in close, his eyes extremely suggestive.

"The two of us are just doing normal work—why bother using other excuses to draw more attention to it!"

"Isn't good teamwork part of preparing for the next film?"

If the two of them were a little more intimate, it would definitely help their crew's on-screen chemistry!

"But the two of us can't be like this. When people see us, they'll definitely gossip about us. It won't matter much for me—being linked with your name will actually help my traffic!"

Sister Gua was very direct.

He never hides himself in front of others, and Xu Can can always see right through them—so why bother concealing anything in front of Xu Can and only exposing more of what is on their mind?

Being able to stay by Xu Can's side for so long is precisely because of that sincerity, never hiding any motive; even if there really is something to gain, it is stated openly and without evasion.

This kind of sincerity has absolutely been there all along.

"Meimei is still outside right now—aren't you afraid he'll really discover the relationship between the two of us? When the time comes, how will you explain it? 5.1 How will you announce to the outside world the feelings between us!"

Sister Gua was a little impulsive this time.

She had no idea what manner to use to face the man before her, nor how to face his fiancée.

Xu Can turned his head to look at the woman.

The thoughts buried deepest in his heart finally showed themselves, but he absolutely would not give up Meimei.

This silent answer was the most devastating of all, letting Sister Gua know her place forever.

She also knew she should not overstep so much, nor should she ask for so much.

Only by staying steady and secure in her own position could she obtain what she wanted—only then could both her career and the man stay by her side, rather than losing everything in the end!

"I understand. I was overthinking it. From now on, I'll stay steady and secure by your side, and I won't be like those other foolish women, causing you trouble!"
