Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 777 Fishing Scheming Boy X Indifferent Uncle 11

When Shen Xi returned home, the nanny had already prepared dinner.

As soon as I opened the door, the house was filled with the aroma of food. The nanny had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

However, Shen Xi glanced around the spacious living room, but he could not see the person he most expected to see - Gu Jinyan.

"Where's my uncle?" Shen Xi asked, with a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in his voice.

The nanny stopped serving the rice, turned around, and said softly with a kind smile on her face, "Master, Mr. Gu has an appointment today and can't leave. He specifically asked that the young master eat first and not wait for him to come back."

Hearing this, Shen Xi's eyebrows drooped instantly, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He tightened the strap of his schoolbag, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Sorry, Auntie, I don't feel like eating. After you clear these away, you can leave. You've worked hard today."

The nanny looked at Shen Xi's lonely back, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just sighed softly and began to clean up the food on the table.

Shen Xi returned upstairs and after entering the room, he did not close the door directly. Instead, he deliberately left a crack and eavesdropped on the movements downstairs.

Sure enough, after the nanny, Mama Li, finished cleaning up the dishes on the table, she picked up the phone and called Gu Jinyan.

"Yes, the young master not only didn't eat when he came back today, but also seemed to be in a bad mood."

At that time, Gu Jinyan was hosting an important meeting in the conference room. The conference table was filled with various documents and materials, and the projector was projecting complex charts. Executives were discussing the project plan fiercely. Suddenly, the phone rang abruptly. Gu Jinyan subconsciously looked down at the caller ID. It was the number of the nanny Li Ma. His heart suddenly tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind. Gu Jinyan tapped the table with his fingertips, making a crisp sound, and then waved his hand gently. His voice was low but with unquestionable majesty: "Today's meeting ends here, everyone should disperse first."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not yet fully reacting to the sudden order to end.

A department manager couldn't help but say: "Mr. Gu, there are still some key issues that have not been finalized on this plan..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Jinyan: "You leave first, I will come back later to deal with the follow-up matters."

The urgency in his tone made everyone afraid to say anything more.

Before those people could react, Gu Jinyan stood up and left the meeting room with big strides.

His back hurried, leaving a group of people in the conference room whispering.

In their eyes, Gu Jinyan, who took over all the affairs of the company at the age of 18 with his extraordinary business talent and decisive decision-making ability, is an out-and-out workaholic on weekdays and often forgets to eat and sleep for the company's business.

It was very rare that just a phone call allowed him to decisively end an important meeting that was just halfway through.

However, these people were naturally eager to get off work early, so without saying anything more, they packed up their documents and left the meeting room one after another.

As Gu Jinyan walked quickly towards the elevator, he quickly recalled Shen Xi's unusual behavior of sending him a message today and not letting him pick him up.

Normally, Shen Xi always looked forward to him picking her up, but today she took the initiative to ask him not to go. Coupled with the call from the nanny, Gu Jinyan became more and more worried, as if an invisible hand was pulling at his heart.

As soon as he got in the car, Gu Jinyan immediately said to the driver Yu Yu: "Drive faster."

Yu Yu caught a glimpse of his boss's frowning brows in the rearview mirror. The serious expression made his heart tighten. Although he was full of doubts and didn't know what had happened, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just silently stepped on the accelerator and sped up towards the villa.

The car stopped steadily in front of the villa. Gu Jinyan quickly opened the door and strode towards the villa.

When I opened the door, the aroma of tonight's cold dishes still lingered in the house, but the first floor was pitch black without a trace of light. The silence was depressing and the cold air hit me in the face.

Gu Jinyan's heartbeat suddenly quickened and he felt more and more uneasy. He quickened his pace and ran upstairs in two steps at a time.

Although he was extremely anxious at the moment, when he arrived at Shen Xi's door, Gu Jinyan still tried to restrain himself and did not choose to break in directly.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, trying to make his voice as soft as possible, with a bit of concern: "Xixi, can I come in?"

The room was completely silent, without any movement. Gu Jinyan's heart was in his throat, and he waited for a long time before the door handle was finally slowly turned from the inside.
