Boss Mo’s Predestined Love Brought by Surrogacy-Chapter 711 - A clear distinction

Chapter 711 A clear distinction

It was Qi Changfeng that did not expect Gu Yan to reply so quickly. The reason that he would send a WeChat message to her at this time was that he knew she had a very regular schedule and under normal circumstances, she should have already fallen asleep by now.

So when he saw her reply, Qi Changfeng was startled for a moment. He immediately wanted to know why she hadn’t slept at this hour.

“Why are you still awake by now?”

Qi Changfeng wanted to know why Gu Yan hadn’t slept yet, so he asked. Even amongst friends, this kind of caring couldn’t be regarded as going too far, right?

It just so happened that it’s about time for her to finish her work. Everyone in the studio had left, and the only one left was Gu Yan. When she stopped working, exhaustion washed over her and she felt her entire body aching.

Gu Yan turned off the computer. She had been working continuously for a long time today, and now that she had relaxed, she couldn’t help but feel exhausted. She didn’t want to return home immediately and just wanted to sit alone in her office to rest while replying to Qi Changfeng’s message.

Gu Yan looked at Qi Changfeng’s message. Why was she still awake? Why? Could she just tell him that she was still in the office? Gu Yan knew that if Qi Changfeng found out about it, he would definitely overreact. But now, she really shouldn’t tell him too much about her work.

Although Gu Yan knew in her heart that she had done nothing wrong, she could not completely ignore Mo Yichen and Li Yunhong’s feelings. However, if she were to distance herself from Qi Changfeng because of their groundless suspicions of her, Gu Yan would not be able to do that either. That would be too unkind of her.

Gu Yan was indeed in an awkward situation right now. She had never faced such a dilemma before, so she had no idea how to deal with it.

Looking at Qi Changfeng’s message, Gu Yan couldn’t help but think of how Qi Changfeng had helped her after knowing him for so long. If she went to distance herself from him for personal reasons, she would look down on herself.

“There’s been a lot of work recently. What’s wrong? What’s up?”

Gu Yan did not want to talk too much about her personal matters. After all, it’s not as if she had never worked overtime before, and it’s not worth talking about it. Since Qi Changfeng had contacted her at this moment, she knew that he must have something to say to her.

If there was nothing important, he rarely sent her messages.

Qi Changfeng had always been a very clear-headed person. He had always been able to grasp the distinction between him and Gu Yan. At least he acted this way in front of Gu Yan.

He knew her way just like how she knew him. He knew that the work she mentioned must have made her work until now.

“I want to ask you for a favor. It’s about Manman.”

Qi Changfeng found it difficult to say that to her. He knew that as soon as he asked her for help, Gu Yan wouldn’t refuse it. But it was because he knew her character too well that this method made him feel so uncomfortable.

However, when Qi Changfeng hesitated, Gu Manman’s frustrated and sad figure appeared in his mind. He felt hesitant with his words for quite a while, but he still chose to ask Gu Yan for help, because he no longer wanted to see Gu Manman get distressed by this kind of easy problem.

“What’s the matter? Just say it.”

Although Gu Yan did not like Gu Manman much in her heart, whose behaviors had made Gu Yan feel disgusted, now that Qi Changfeng had spoken, of course, Gu Yan would only agree to help him. After all, she owed Qi Changfeng too many favors before.

The favor must be beyond his ability that he chose to ask her for help. Although it was about Gu Manman, since Gu Yan could help Qi Changfeng solve his problems, she did not feel so disgusted about Gu Manman now. Helping Qi Changfeng was also something Gu Yan had always wanted to do.

“Manman is going through a bottleneck stage at her designing. You gave her a design project and she told me about it. But now she has encountered some difficulties in designing. I hope you can help me show her some guidance.”

Gu Yan was a little surprised. She did not expect such a requirement. Before Qi Changfeng brought up this matter, she had thought that the favor would be something like transferring Gu Manman’s position, but she did not expect it to be this kind of request.

Gu Yan felt a little unhappy about it. It was Qi Changfeng who had told her to test Gu Manman at will. Well, Gu Yan did as he said, but now she had given Gu Manman a chance, but Gu Manman could not finish the design project.

Qi Changfeng came to Gu Yan now, but hadn’t he promised her that Gu Manman was a talented person? She was a little dissatisfied and felt that Qi Changfeng didn’t respect her and didn’t realize how much the studio mattered to her.

Gu Yan did not reply immediately. How could Qi Changfeng not know what Gu Yan was thinking in her heart? He was very clear that her career was not only a job to her but also her hobby. It was her lifelong pursuit, and he was very clear about her care for the studio.

The studio was like her own child to her. Qi Changfeng also knew that his request by now, and even the requests he brought up recently, seemed to be forcing Gu Yan to make concessions. He knew that she did not want to do this sort of thing, but he had forced her to cross her bottom line again and again.

He even felt like he had totally become the kind of person who would extort favors out of others. In fact, he might even be inferior to those people. When he helped Gu Yan, he never thought of asking her to repay him. But now, everything he had done was to force her.

He was very clear that the favors he had asked for were not what she would permit to do out of her own principles. However, it was because he had helped her before that she had crossed the bottom line for him.

He didn’t ask for her to repay him, but what he was doing was using her gratefulness to him to get what he wanted.

By doing so, he looked down on himself. But other than that, he couldn’t think of any better method.

He wasn’t sure whether Gu Yan would agree to his request. In fact, he was even a bit expectant that she would refuse it. At the very least, by that way, he wouldn’t feel like there was such a clear distinction between the two of them.
