C84 Suspicious

Ye Ziyan's body trembled, afraid that she would say something that would harm Gu Qinian, so she pretended not to understand and shook her head.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about. I was just going to send lunch to Qinian, and I don't know what I did to offend you..."

As she spoke, her tears fell even more. From time to time, she would look at Gu Qinian innocently.

"If you don't like me getting close to Qinian, then I won't come in the future..."

Ye Tian looked at her acting and could not help but sneer. Her mockery and coldness were all reflected in her voice.

"Ye Ziyan, you really know how to act dumb."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Gu Qinian with a faint smile.

"Why aren't you helping me up?"

Gu Qinian's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were furrowed. His black eyes were as deep as an ancient well, making it hard for others to read his emotions.

He did not say a word. His dark and obscure gaze paused on Ye Tian's face for a moment, and then it silently swept past. He took two steps forward and helped Ye Ziyan up.

The moment she saw him reach out his hand, Ye Tian's heart felt as if it had been twisted, and the emotions in her eyes froze.

She looked away, not wanting to see the interaction between the two of them. She turned around and wanted to leave.

However, in the next second, her wrist was held by Gu Qinian.

She was stunned for a moment. She turned around and glanced at his slender fingers. Then, she lifted her eyelids and looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"What? Do you want me to apologize to her again?"

Her words were filled with aggression, like a hedgehog that was covered in thorns.

"Gu Qinian, I don't care what you think, but if you want me to apologize to her, dream on."

Gu Qinian pursed his thin lips. The depths of his eyes reflected her stubborn face, and he did not say a word.

Ye Ziyan, who was at the side, looked at him holding Ye Tian's hand. For some reason, she felt uneasy, and when she looked into his eyes that were staring at Ye Tian, she became even more nervous.

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Qinian, I'm fine …"

Ye Tian sneered, "Did you hear that? She said she was fine. You can let go now."

As she spoke, she wanted to pull her wrist away, but she was held even tighter.

This time, she was completely enraged. Just as she was about to get angry, she saw Gu Qinian frown and say, "Go back to the office."

His voice was still low and indifferent, without any emotion, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

Ye Tian looked into his eyes and realized that if she didn't go back, he wouldn't let go of her. Thus, she smiled mockingly.

"Alright, I'll go in now."

After getting this reply, Gu Qinian finally let go of her. He looked at Ye Tian who returned to the office without even turning her head, then he turned around.

"Qinian..."

Ye Ziyan's face was filled with tears and her eyes were still red. She bit her lips and looked sad and wronged.

Gu Qinian glanced at her embarrassed appearance and pursed his lips without saying anything. He called for his secretary.

"Take Miss Ye to clean up and give her that set of clothes."

The secretary had just returned from a trip and did not know what had happened. He was secretly shocked when he saw what had happened.

However, her good professional ethics made her control her expression. She respectfully agreed and made a "please" gesture to Ye Ziyan.

"Miss Ye, please come with me."

This development was out of Ye Ziyan's expectations. She thought that Gu Qinian would personally take her away and comfort her, but she did not expect him to push her to the secretary!

Furthermore, he did not show any signs of blame towards Ye Tian just now!

This was not the result she wanted!

"Qinian, I..."

Immediately, her eyes lit up again. Her reluctance and sadness were reflected in her eyes. Her delicate and wronged appearance was vividly displayed.

However, Gu Qinian's expression did not change and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

He just took out his handkerchief and handed it to her. He said softly, "Ziyan, don't send me food in the future. Go back first."

With that, he gave the secretary a meaningful look. The latter understood and quickly helped Ye Ziyan leave.

Ye Ziyan was forced into the guest lounge, and her face immediately pulled down.

She could not believe that Gu Qinian would ignore her!

Something was wrong! It was getting more and more wrong! What exactly was wrong with her?

She gritted her teeth and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

...

After Ye Tian returned to the office, she sat on the sofa with a mocking smile on her face.

Presumably, Gu Qinian felt sorry for Ye Ziyan, so he ordered her to go back to the office to teach her a lesson.

Heh...

She was not surprised by this result. After all, it was not the first time.

However, why did the fluctuation in her heart become stronger and stronger?

She did not understand it, nor did she want to understand it. She took a deep breath and threw away the emotions that she should not have.

She quickly recalled what Ye Ziyan had said. That woman had unintentionally mentioned what happened to her grandfather three years ago. Why?

Suddenly, a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes, and a layer of frost quickly formed.

She had always felt that something was wrong with her grandfather three years ago. Why would he fall from the stairs?

At that time, the person she had always suspected was Ye Yongcheng. And this suspicion had not disappeared even today.

However, Ye Ziyan's reaction just now changed her mind. If her grandfather was pushed down the stairs, then the person was Ye Ziyan and not Ye Yongcheng.

Ye Ziyan's reaction just now could be understood as a guilty conscience, and it made sense.

But why? Why did she push Grandfather downstairs?

Very quickly, this question occupied her mind again.

Her brows were tightly knitted, her eyes were as cold as ice, her lips were pursed, and her entire body was suffused with a low pressure.

No matter what, she must find out the reason why Grandfather was in trouble. If it was really done by Ye Ziyan, then she would not be soft-hearted!

Even if it meant destroying the Ye family, she would make the heartless father and daughter, Ye Yongcheng and Ye Ziyan, pay the price!

Just as she was thinking, the office door suddenly opened. She turned around and saw Gu Qinian walking in with an expressionless face.

He only glanced at her, and without saying anything, he walked straight to the back of the desk and sat down.

Ye Tian was originally waiting for him to question her, but she didn't see any intention of questioning him. She could not help but feel a little surprised.

"So soon you have pacified your Little White Lotus? I thought it would take at least one or two hours."

For some reason, the more he didn't ask, the more she wanted to take the initiative to start this topic. After a light laugh, she slowly opened her mouth.

On the other side, Gu Qinian had just picked up the pen and put it down. He raised his eyelids to look over, and his eyes were dark. Finally, he opened his lips, but the words he said made Ye Tian even more surprised.

"Are you hungry?"
