Wang Manpeng was wearing a blue dress shirt and cropped trousers, the typical style of Gu Zhiqian’s. The outfit was acpanied by a long trench coat which seemed to only be for aesthetic purposes. Wang Manpeng looked extremely stylish.
At the sight of Wang Manpeng, Mandy Wang tensed. What was he here for? He couldn’t be here to expose her real identity, could he? Or had he lost his patience and was he here to exact his revenge by killing Ruan Qishan?
Regardless of what he was here for, she wasn’t ready to see either of those situations unfold before her very eyes, at least not now.
In Wang Manpeng’s hands sat a carefully cradled Tiny Rice Ball. At the sight of Mandy Wang all dressed up in pink, he glanced at her critically, before flashing her Gu Zhiqian’s signature smile. “Xiao Yaya, where have you been?” he asked.
Mandy Wang didn’t miss the critical look in Wang Manpeng’s eyes. The corners of her lips faintly rose as she answered him. “I took a trip down to Ruan Teng Tower to send some snacks over to Zeyan.”
Although Mandy Wang didn’t dare to lie to Wang Manpeng’s face, she also didn’t dare to reveal everything on her mind, like how she had also been to Zhi Ya Entertainment and had been making a big deal at the pany for half the time she had been out.
He didn’t need to know that. If he knew that, Mandy Wang would surely earn a scolding. Her actions were not only unrelated to her revenge plan but would also rouse suspicion easily.
Now that she thought about it, she was quite regretful of how she had behaved at Zhi Ya Entertainment. She had only done it out of frustration. She ran into some trouble at Ruan Teng Tower, leading to her being unable to meet Ruan Zeyan.
To have sufficient reason to not return home, Ruan Zeyan pletely took over the pany’s affairs, including what Chairman Ruan Qishan’s duties had been before the incident. When he wasn’t present, the pany’s affairs were to be single-handedly taken care of by Christine. Those things she was unable to handle were relayed to Ruan Zeyan himself via phone or video. No matter what happened, things were done in a way to give off the impression that Ruan Zeyan stayed in his office more often than not.
Gu Zhiqian’s arrival made it necessary for Ruan Qishan to wele him.
It has been a long time since the family had received any guests. Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi were ecstatic to have some e over. Moreover, Gu Zhiqian wasn’t just anyone. He was practically family. The Ruan and Gu family had been old family friends, and the elders had practically watched him grow up.
Wang Yazhi was buzzing with joy as she regarded Gu Zhiqian. “Zhiqian, it has been such a long time since you visited!”
Wang Manpeng smiled warmly. “I got held up with shooting Yaya’s play, so I couldn’t free up any time to visit. Something cropped up in the family so my visit to my godson was further delayed.”
At the mention of the play Ling Tianya had written, Wang Yazhi got extremely excited. “Oh please Zhiqian! Your acting skills are otherworldly! Your role as the male lead in Yaya’s play is simply irreplaceable!”
At that moment, Wang Yazhi noticed her cute little Yaya remained by the door in the spot she had been standing at ever since she had entered the room.
Wang Zhiya beckoned Mandy Wang over. “My child, what are you standing there for? This is Zhiqian. He’s no stranger to you.”
Mandy Wang forced a smile, before taking a seat by Wang Yazhi’s side. “You’re here, Zhiqian.”
Upon hearing how weakly Mandy Wang spoke, Wang Yazhi panicked. “Yaya, are you feeling ill?”
“Oh? Are you feeling unwell Xiao Yaya?” Wang Manpeng asked.
With Wang Manpeng’s attention on her, Mandy Wang panicked. She quickly brushed her mother-in-law off. “I’m fine, Mother.”
Wang Yazhi was still worried. She checked Mandy Wang’s condition and placed her hand on her forehead, afraid that she caught a fever. It was only upon confirming that Mandy Wang wasn’t ing up with a fever that she heaved a sigh of relief.
