Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (2) Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Gu Annan, Happy Birthday (2) The dim light in the room created a sowhat lingering and poignant atmosphere.
No wonder they say alcohol gives you courage. Her mind felt dizzy, and she felt exceptionally light, almost effortlessly relaxing under his arm.
He hugged her soft body tightly, leaving no space between them, and took the initiative to pry open her lips…

“Wake up,” Gu Annan’s slender fingers reached her cheek and gently rubbed it.
“Stop it…” She turned over in extre fatigue, grabbing his hand, “So tired.”
His dark eyes tightly locked onto her lightly sleeping face, slightly furrowed brows—as if cake and the like had been completely forgotten.
“Really not getting up?” Gu Annan raised an eyebrow, his fingers lightly tracing her slightly swollen lips, “Don’t say I didn’t call you.”
He threw off the covers and took a shower, then ca out and put the cake on the table into the fridge.
His gaze finally landed on the cookie tin.
He looked at it intently for a mont, as if even his breathing had stopped.
Looking at that tin, it felt as if ti itself had paused.
Since childhood, aside from gifts from elders, the only present he had ever received was Lu Wanwan’s cookies.
It was a pity that ever since he found out why she had put so much effort into him, that preserved tin no longer existed.
He had thought he might never see it again in this lifeti.
Gu Annan lay back down on the bed, pulling the sleeping woman into his embrace.
“Gu Annan, happy birthday…”
Hearing that dream-talk-like voice, he kissed her lips lightly.
This ti, he wouldn’t be disappointed; perhaps it wasn’t too late to start all over.
Early the next day, a series of cell phone rings pierced the silence,
Gu Annan opened his eyes and quickly turned off the sound. He looked at Lu Wanwan, still in her dreams, pressed the answer button, and walked away.
“Mr. Gu, it’s already 8:20,” the anxious voice of Zhao Chen sounded from the other end.
“Hmm?” He raised his eyebrows slightly, standing by the bed, his other hand holding Lu Wanwan’s cup, pouring a glass of water.
“The 8:30 eting,” Zhao Chen reminded.
Mr. Gu had transferred most of his tasks to Mr. Arthur, but there were still so parts that required his personal attention.
They were few, but all of them important.
Mr. Gu was usually reliable and didn’t like to fuss, so Zhao Chen, his assistant, didn’t have the habit of nagging all the ti.
But the eting starting in ten minutes—he couldn’t find Mr. Gu anywhere in Gu Building.
“I’m over at Sunshine,” he said, taking a sip of water while looking out at the sunlight.
“…” Zhao Chen felt completely off.
Sunshine Residence—isn’t that where Miss Lu rents an apartnt?
Even if the BOSS were to drive over directly and imdiately, the eting would be delayed by at least half an hour, and if there was traffic, it would take even longer.
But the BOSS’s tone was completely unhurried, as if he were discussing sothing that had nothing to do with him.
“You’re… not planning to attend the eting?” Zhao Chen felt his heart in his hands, trembling.
“I really can’t make it in ti. I don’t like being late.”
Zhao Chen heard his casual ntion of ‘difficulty,’ “I understand, Mr. Gu. I will explain to Mr. Arthur.”
“Let’s leave it at that then, don’t contact for anything today.”
Zhao Chen: “…”
“Also, later I’m going to forward my calls to your phone, deal with any issues that co up and tell about them tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chen saw the blue-eyed man approaching.
“Found him? Tell him to co to the eting room imdiately,” Arthur’s stride was swift.
Zhao Chen: “Mr. Arthur, Mr. Gu has entrusted you with full responsibility for today’s eting.”
