The atmosphere was chilling, colder than the surrounding air. Wu Hao finally sensed something amiss, his voice dropping to a whisper as he hastily excused himself, “I won’t keep you from going home. I have work to attend to as well. Goodbye!”

With that, he turned and briskly entered the newspaper office. He longed to steal another glance at Gu Zi, but he dared not turn his head. His face bore a bitter smile, his heart filled with a pool of bitterness.

He had thought that God would grant him a chance to win Gu Zi’s heart, to save her. But now, it seemed she didn’t need his salvation at all…

After Wu Hao left, Gu Zi and Su Shen faced each other. She tiptoed to cup his face. He was a handsome man, but his tightly pursed lips hadn’t relaxed yet, making his face appear even more cold and ruthless.

She softly explained, “Su Shen, I don’t even remember him. If he hadn’t greeted me, I…”

Suddenly, the man pulled her into his arms, interrupting her. His chin rubbed against her head as he opened his coat to wrap her in it. Her body was soft and warm, instantly dispelling most of his restlessness.

Holding her, he explained, “I trust you, Ah Zi. There’s no need to explain. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t control myself. I was jealous. I didn’t like the way he was looking at you, so intently, with a purpose.”

Gu Zi’s cheeks flushed as she hid in his embrace. Such an intimate hug in public would surely stir up gossip in this era, wouldn’t it? This man was too bold!

Yet, her heart fluttered inexplicably more because of his actions. She carefully wriggled out of his embrace, saying, “I understand. I don’t blame you. Didn’t you say that the slaughterhouse just started operating and you might not be able to leave? How did you manage to come?”

Su Shen pushed her bicycle towards his parked car, replying, “It’s your first day at work, I wanted to see your workplace. I arranged everything at the slaughterhouse before coming here, so I was a bit late. Did everything go smoothly?”

He had already investigated Gu Zi’s workplace, intending to accompany her. But he was held up by an unexpected matter today.
