Shen Xian was startled. The issue was resolved?
Did Gu Chen know something?
Seeing Shen Xian not speaking, Gu Chen continued, "What I mean is, you've always preferred work with more freedom. Now that you're staying in the office every day, do you ever feel restrained and want to leave?"
So that was what he meant.
Shen Xian smiled, took a big bite of meat, and had a sip of soup before muttering, "I adapt pretty well, you know."
Gu Chen smiled faintly, also elegantly took a bite of meat, "This Saturday is my uncle's birthday, it's going to be a grand celebration. Would you accompany me"
"Ah?"
Shen Xian was surprised, "Aren't birthday parties usually just with family?"
"Not this time. There will be many from the business world invited, as well as family members— I need a female companion."
Gu Chen spoke very calmly, as if it was only natural for him to make such a request.
Shen Xian hesitated— you, Gu Chen, don't seem like someone who lacks female companionship!
"Unwilling?"
