Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The BOSS’s Mind is as Deep as the Sea
Lu Wanwan chose to answer honestly, “Too much, I’m a bit full, I can’t eat another bite.”
“Full but still eating, when’s the last ti you ate?”
She responded with a pout, “Didn’t you say before that I have to finish everything?”
Gu Annan glanced at her visible distress, took a long while to get up, and said, “I didn’t say that today.”
Lu Wanwan, staring at his retreating figure, felt like flipping the table with her fork-holding hand in anger.
His mood changes daily, is this man’s heart as elusive as a needle at the bottom of the ocean?

“So you see, your boss is really good at tornting people, keeping on edge all the ti. I’ve lost several years of my life because of it. Xiaozhao, how do you put up with him?”
Lu Wanwan, feeling quite familiar with Zhao Chen by now and being alone in the car, decided to pour out her grievances.
After all, they were both in miserable situations, constantly being tornted by Gu Annan. She figured he could surely empathize.
“Miss Lu, you’re really funny,” Zhao Chen chuckled heartily.
Comnting on Boss Gu was sothing he dared not participate in, much less feel empathy for.
“Xiaozhao, you can’t be biased just because he’s handso. How is he simple at all! His mind is deep as the sea, always keeping us guessing!” Lu Wanwan vented out her frustrations.
Eating breakfast, one day it’s ‘not a single bite left.’ Another day it’s, ‘I didn’t say that today.’
Does he intend not to let us eat tomorrow?
“It’s indeed hard to guess what Boss Gu is thinking, but Miss Lu, if you go along with him, he’s really quite straightforward,” Zhao Chen advised. “Like how you say he’s handso, you could totally say that to his face.”
So, Miss Lu, you weren’t blind after all; you do see that the boss’s charm is endless! Maybe the hard one to deal with isn’t Boss Gu, but you, Miss Lu!
Zhao Chen had always wondered why soone with Gu Annan’s attributes found it so difficult to get closer to Miss Lu.
Realizing there was no mutual understanding, Lu Wanwan lost her urge to complain and lazily watched out the car window.
Xiaozhao could never understand.
Saying Gu Annan was handso, she had said it a hundred and eighty tis in the past, yet not once did he even lift an eyelid in response.
Later, she realized Gu Annan was the type who, despite his stunning appearance, preferred not to rely on his looks but on his abilities.
Calling him handso might even make him feel his talents hadn’t overshadowed his looks, as if she were belittling him.
“Stop, stop, stop, stop! Xiaozhao, stop right there at that bus station, and definitely don’t drop off under the building.”
Zhao Chen, hesitant, stopped the car, suggesting, “Not going all the way is fine, but Miss Lu, why don’t you take a cab? Why bother with the bus?”
Lu Wanwan quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, “Who wants to, cabs are expensive! This is fine, goodbye.”
He watched her hurry off the car to catch the bus ahead, without having the chance to say, “Miss Lu, if you just make Boss Gu a bit happier, money really wouldn’t be a problem anymore!”
Lu Wanwan got off mid-journey to change buses, then got stuck in traffic. By the ti she reached the office, she was breathless and nearly late as she sat down at her desk.
“Xiaolu, am I seeing things, or is that outfit you’re wearing very similar to the one from YLP’s spring collection this year?” the older lady at the desk opposite said, eyeing her suspiciously.
Lu Wanwan was drinking water and choked, coughing violently and splashing so on herself, “Cough cough… it’s a knockoff, otherwise I wouldn’t treasure it so.”
Just yesterday a rumor spread that she had been taken away by a wealthy and handso suitor—she definitely couldn’t give anything away.
“This quality is poor; look, it’s even coming apart here. I didn’t notice when I bought it,” Lu Wanwan, heartlessly pulling a snagged thread from her bus ride, showed it to her, tugging at it secretly.
