Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ji Chen glanced at Chu An with a hint of disdain in his eyes. However, he had been living in the Ji Family since he was young. Not to mention cooking, he rarely even had time to enter the kitchen. Compared to Chu An, he was probably even worse.

He did not go to the kitchen to help. He sat steadily on the sofa.

Seeing this, Chu An thought for a moment and sat down not far from Ji Chen.

He did not interact much with Ji Chen in the past, but after Ji Chen sided with Gu Xiao, he gradually interacted with Ji Chen. He was not very clear about Ji Chen’s habits and likes.

Chu An and Ji Chen sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted casually. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

“Alright, we can eat now!”

Just as Gu Xiao finished speaking and before Ji Chen could react, Chu An had already stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Ji Chen looked up in the direction of Gu Xiao and Chu An.

Chu An took the plate from Gu Xiao’s hands with an intimate expression. He even leaned close to Gu Xiao’s side and said a few words with a smile. Then, Gu Xiao secretly glared at Chu An, turned around, and entered the kitchen again.

Seeing the interaction between Chu An and Gu Xiao, Ji Chen’s eyes gradually softened.

Although Ji Gao and Jiang He were known as the model couple in the circle, he had always felt that the relationship between the two of them was not as good as what outsiders said.

Therefore, when he found out that Ji Gao had an illegitimate child outside, although he was sad for a while, he did not feel much despair. He quickly pulled himself together.

Now that he saw Gu Xiao and Chu An’s interactions again, he felt that the relationship between Ji Gao and Jiang He was really a little superficial.

“Brother, why are you still standing there? Come and eat!”

Gu Xiao noticed that Ji Chen was still standing at the same spot after the dishes were served, so she reminded him.

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Ji Chen came back to his senses. He put away the desolation in his heart and walked towards Gu Xiao.

“Coming right up.”

After the three of them finished eating, Chu An consciously started to deal with the aftermath, while Gu Xiao brought Ji Chen to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

“What are your plans for the future?” Ji Chen asked Gu Xiao as he ate the fruits prepared by Chu An.

Gu Xiao picked up a small piece of apple and put it into her mouth. After chewing and swallowing, she answered Ji Chen.

“Chu An and i have already discussed it, the company will be completely handed over to Tian Xian to manage. Chu An and 1 will go straight back to school to prepare for the college entrance examination that will take place in half a year.”

Their careers were in full swing now. Even if they did not take the college entrance examination, it did not seem to have much impact on their lives.

However, the college entrance examination was an expectation in Gu Xiao’s heart, and she wouldn’t give up so easily. Chu An knew Gu Xiao’s feelings, so he naturally wouldn’t casually deal with the college entrance examination either.

With the tacit understanding between the two of them, returning to school to prepare peacefully for the college entrance examination in peace was something that was completely decided.

Ji Chen did not have any objections to Gu Xiao and Chu An focusing on preparing for the college entrance examination.

He hesitated for a moment, but he was still a little worried. He said, “That Tian Xian, are you really at ease about him?”

Hearing this, Gu Xiao stopped eating the fruit. She met Ji Chen’s gaze and saw the trace of worry in his cold eyes. She instantly understood the real purpose of his visit.

The other party probably didn’t come to see them just because they were going back to school. The bigger reason should be the company.

Gu Xiao smiled at Ji Chen. “Brother, don’t worry! Tian Xian is a trustworthy person. After interacting with him for so long, I still have some understanding of his character.”

Seeing that Ji Chen was still a little worried, she continued, “Besides, don’t we still have you, brother? Even if we concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination and there is a delay in the news coming from the company, if something happens, brother will definitely help me stabilize it and tell me the news, right?”

Hearing this, Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously and solemnly.

“Naturally.”

Gu Xiao had finally established the company under Ji Gao’s attempts to boycott it. No matter what, he would not watch helplessly as something happened to the company.

It was unknown if it was because he trusted Tian Xian or because he was confident in his own abilities, but Ji Chen no longer expressed his worry about Gu Xiao and Chu An leaving the company.

After the two of them finished speaking, Chu An, who was cleaning up the aftermath in the kitchen, walked out.

Ji Chen stayed for a while more before leaving the villa..
