Chapter 989: The Cold-Hearted CEO's Resentful Butler 02

~5 min read 958 words

Twenty minutes later.

Jin Chen stood behind Gu Han, disheveled in the wind at the parking lot entrance.

It seems the domineering CEO not only has OCD, but also a bit of decision‑making difficulty.

You've been standing here for five minutes and still haven't decided what car to drive!

Gu Han actually wasn't thinking about the car; he was hesitating whether to go.

When Bai Yunyue returned to Yingguo, she had already told him not to harbor improper thoughts; although she never spelled it out, both understood.

Gu Han didn't understand why, but he was heartbroken, and even to this day he still couldn't let go.

"Sir, half an hour is almost up; aren't you going?"

Jin Chen reminded him.

Gu Han snapped out of it when he heard the voice, "... I'll go."

After answering, he seemed to feel that such hesitation damaged the CEO's aura.

"Don't forget your identity—you're just a butler."

Jin Chen: "……?"

"What did I say? If I'm late and don't see Bai Yunyue, aren't you still going to scold me!"

But on the surface he said: "Yes, sir."

According to the CEO's aura, the final choice was naturally a noble, elegant car that didn't lack bearing.

While Jin Chen was driving, he finally had time to think about how to obstruct the subsequent plot development.

The first point was to let Gu Han discover Bai Yunyue and Gu Yeting's relationship in advance.

When Gu Yeting later threatened Gu Han with the excuse of "kidnapping" Bai Yunyue, he wouldn't be fooled and would even break a leg.

"Don't spray perfume during work hours from now on."

Gu Han lowered the car window; the biting wind dispersed the mysterious agarwood scent lingering in the car, and also messed up the hairstyle he had carefully done.

Gu Han's voice interrupted Jin Chen's thoughts; he glanced at the person behind left in the rearview mirror and said, "Thank you for the reminder, sir. Although I didn't spray today, I'll pay attention in the future."

"There's no controlling it—who made him an agarwood essence?"

Jin Chen silently complained in his heart.

Gu Han suddenly realized something, looked up at Jin Chen, and asked, "Do you know why the previous butler was dismissed?"

Jin Chen stared ahead, polite and distant, "Please enlighten me, sir."

"Lacking a sense of propriety; I hope you don't make the same mistake."

"Oh, sense of propriety..."

Jin Chen didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, his brows relaxed, "Yes, sir, I'll take care of that."

He wore a Western tailcoat, clearly the standard uniform of Zhuang Yuan's butlers, yet he looked gentlemanly and handsome; his inexplicably smiling expression at this moment was especially eye‑catching.

Gu Han glanced a few times, closed his eyes to rest, but he kept feeling that something was off.

If he hadn't looked at Jin Chen's file beforehand, he might have thought this was some young master from a wealthy family.

The car arrived at the apron in front of the airport terminal.

As Jin Chen opened the car door for Gu Han, his gaze swept the entire hall, precisely capturing the two men embracing; the angle wasn't obscure, and if Gu Han entered the hall he would see them immediately.

What he needed to do was let Gu Han know that the man was Gu Yeting.

Jin Chen followed closely behind him, walking briskly; the two attracted many glances, until Gu Han suddenly stopped, his breath catching involuntarily.

Gu Han's heart sank; he couldn't believe what was before his eyes.

The Bai Yunyue he had yearned for years was now leaning in another man's arms, kissing.

Although he couldn't see their expressions, Gu Han thought he must not be resisting.

Yet his heart was calmer than he had imagined.

He himself didn't know why.

Due to his puzzlement, Gu Han furrowed his brows deeply, his gaze still not withdrawn.

Jin Chen followed his line of sight and glanced; he felt embarrassed for Gu Han.

"That's your own father."

"This is no longer a matter of whether he loves you or not; it's an ethical issue!"

"Still looking? You're so eager… then go ahead and look some more."

Jin Chen's fingers at his side twitched slightly; an inexplicable gust blew past, and a passerby walking by the kissing pair suddenly twisted his foot inward; Gu Yeting, quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, shielded Bai Yunyue and shifted direction.

It was precisely this change of angle that allowed Gu Han to see both faces clearly.

"Gu Yeting..."

After the shock hit Gu Han's heart, he gritted his teeth.

"He actually returned to the country."

His father had said that Gu Yeting was his biggest rival in controlling the board's authority.

"No way, I must quickly find a way to deal with Gu Yeting."

Gu Han remained silent; Jin Chen thought he was still heartbroken, so he silently grabbed a pack of tissues from the nearby convenience store, providing a timely tissue service.

"Sir."

Gu Han lowered his head to glance, a hint of disdain flickering in his deep brows and eyes: "I don't need it, and I never use these cheap tissues."

Jin Chen: "……"

"What's wrong with Qingfeng tissues! The convenience store only sells this!"

"Like it or not, he stuffed the tissues into his own pocket."

"But hearing his tone, it doesn't sound like he's heartbroken."

The two had similar builds; Jin Chen now slightly bent forward to observe Gu Han's expression, his tone softer than before.

"Sir, are you feeling sad?"

Sad about what…

Gu Han blinked, then gradually realized his state of mind seemed to have changed.

But just then, a surprised voice sounded from behind them.

"Xiao Han, what are you doing here?"
