Chapter 151 Heartbeat and Relief
Chapter 151 Heartbeat and Relief
As night fell, the city's neon lights flickered outside the window. Lin Chuyue stood before the French windows of her study, holding a cup of hot tea. The aroma of the tea, with its faint jasmine fragrance, could not calm her slightly turbulent emotions.
Although the daytime meeting ended successfully, Gu Yanchuan's casual remark after the meeting lingered in her mind: "We have all seen President Lin's efforts."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Lin Chuyue read a different emotion in his slightly complicated eyes. It was an indescribable mix of entanglement and relief.
Gu Yanchuan's inner struggle
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan sat alone in his study, a proposal that Luo Yurou had just sent him laid out before him. He stared at the document on his desk, but his mind was elsewhere.
Lin Chuyue's image always appeared in his mind, especially her confident demeanor when she presented her plan. Her composure and determination made him sigh that she had completely surpassed his previous understanding of her.
But he also knew that this special feeling stemmed more from past connections than from love. What truly brought him peace was the naturalness and ease that Luo Yurou had been giving him lately.
"Perhaps it's time to let go," Gu Yanchuan murmured to himself, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. He picked up his phone and sent Luo Yurou a message: "The proposal is very good. Let's discuss it another day."
Luo Yurou's joy
Luo Yurou was having a meal at the restaurant when she received Gu Yanchuan's message. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at her phone screen with a smile.
"It seems he's finally getting closer to me," she murmured, her eyes filled with joy.
She picked up her phone and replied, "Okay, see you on Friday."
After putting down her phone, a determined look appeared on Luo Yurou's face. This time, she was determined to seize the opportunity and make Gu Yanchuan truly see her presence.
Heartwarming moments between Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan
When Lin Chuyue returned to the living room with her teacup, Li Zhanchuan had already tidied up the documents for her and was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. He was still wearing the suit he wore during the day, his tie slightly loosened, making him look casual yet elegant.
"Finished with your work?" He looked up at her, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Lin Chuyue sat down next to him and placed her teacup on the coffee table: "Why are you so quiet today?"
“Because I know you need some time to process what happened during the day.” Li Zhanchuan’s tone was calm, yet it revealed his understanding of her. “But now, I want to hear your true thoughts.”
Lin Chuyue looked up at him, her gaze filled with hesitation. After a moment, she said softly, "Actually, sometimes I feel tired too. I take every step so carefully, afraid of making even the slightest mistake."
Li Zhanchuan reached out and gently took her hand. The warmth from his palm made her relax unconsciously: "You don't need to carry everything alone. Didn't I tell you? No matter what, I will always stand by your side."
Lin Chuyue looked down at their clasped hands, a faint smile appearing on her lips: "Thank you, Zhanchuan. I'm so lucky to have you here."
"I am the lucky one," Li Zhanchuan said softly, his eyes filled with a burning affection.
At this moment, Lin Chuyue felt an unprecedented sense of security and warmth.
Gu Yanchuan's relief
On Friday afternoon, Gu Yanchuan and Luo Yurou met at a quiet coffee shop. Luo Yurou placed the documents in front of him and explained her thoughts to him point by point, her gaze focused and earnest.
Gu Yanchuan listened quietly, nodding occasionally in agreement, a subtle emotion stirring within him. Every word Luo Yurou spoke was imbued with tenderness and sincerity, and her natural warmth made him feel more relaxed than ever before.
"Your proposal is very creative, and it should have a good effect when implemented." Gu Yanchuan put down the documents, looked up at her, and said, "You've put a lot of effort into it."
Luo Yurou smiled slightly: "Actually, I just hope to help you and the company."
Gu Yanchuan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that Luo Yurou's gentleness and tolerance filled the void in his heart.
"Yu Rou," he said softly, his tone serious, "thank you."
Luo Yurou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I just did what I was supposed to do, no need to thank me."
Looking at her, Gu Yanchuan felt his defenses crumble little by little. He knew that perhaps it was time to give himself a chance to start over.
