Song Fan was genuinely taken aback by Gu Chen's proposal. In her mind, someone like Gu Chen seemed destined to live a solitary life until old age.
His usual demeanor suggested an indifference that could never be penetrated, but now he was playfully suggesting marriage to her.
"Are you sick?" Song Fan couldn't help but ask straightforwardly, knowing full well that Gu Chen wasn't actually ill. His eyes gave away the jest.
Naturally, Gu Chen wasn't considering marriage at this particular moment. The internal turmoil within the Gu Family remained unresolved, and the corporation was far from stable. At a time like this, he wished he could split himself in two to handle everything.
Song Fan couldn't help but roll her eyes, remarking, "There's a limit to jokes."
Gu Chen offered an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to lighten the mood. Miss Song, you can name your price for assisting me today."
