I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

After hearing Gu Yan's words, Fu Wanqing immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him away.

"Wake up, wake up! Get up and stay with me. You're not going anywhere today."

She was much stronger than she looked, and Gu Yan was pulled off the bed by her.

He stumbled forward, his body colliding directly with Fu Wanqing.

The girl's body was soft and carried a pleasant, fresh scent; pressing against her felt like bumping into a ball of cotton.

Gu Yan's hand instinctively supported her waist, and the place his fingers touched was soft and delicate.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how soft a young girl's body was, unlike Pei Yuran's icy demeanor or Lin Jinyu's fiery passion.

Fu Wanqing's ears burned instantly, turning as red as if they were about to bleed, but she didn't push him away.

"You...you better stop putting your hands on things and take them away."

Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm, her amber eyes fixed on Gu Yan.

Gu Yan quickly let go of her hand, took a step back, and looked a little embarrassed.

"I lost my balance, I didn't mean to."

Fu Wanqing lowered her head, her long pink hair falling down and covering half of her face.

She took a deep breath and then reached out to help Gu Yan straighten her clothes.

Turn the collar up, button it up, and straighten the sleeves, all very gently and carefully.

My fingertips trembled slightly when they touched his neck, but I didn't stop.

"You're dressed, let's go, stop dawdling."

She turned around, her ears still red, but her tone had returned to its usual lighthearted manner.

Gu Yan glanced down at herself; her clothes were quite casual, not a formal dress.

It's just a simple white shirt paired with dark pants, perfect for walking.

Fu Wanqing came over and took his arm, and the two of them walked out together.

After leaving the room and walking through the corridor, I encountered many servants along the way.

Fu Wanqing was still the same as always, greeting everyone she saw and saying a few words to everyone she met.

A maid carrying water passed by, and Fu Wanqing stopped to help her straighten the tray.

"Be careful not to spill it. Is the water hot? If it is, wait until it cools down before serving it."

The maid was stunned, not knowing where to put her hands.

"Thank you, miss. It's not too hot, it's just right."

A gardener carrying flowerpots walked ahead; the flowerpots were tilted and about to fall.

Fu Wanqing let go of Gu Yan's hand and ran over to help him straighten the flowerpot.

"This is so heavy! Can you carry it by yourself? Do you need to call someone to help?"

The gardener also looked flattered and waved his hands repeatedly, saying no, no.

Gu Yan stood to the side watching this scene, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

This girl really helps wherever she goes; she's never idle for a moment.

Every time I help someone, it's out of the heart, not just for show or as a formality.

Those people went from being at a loss at the beginning to gradually getting used to it now.

But the flattered expression remained, as if he had never been treated like this before.

Gu Yan sighed. The Fu family was really crazy; they made a big fuss over such a simple thing.

After finally getting out of the Fu family's gate, the two walked along the street.

Fu Wanqing walked ahead, her steps light as a little rabbit, her long pink hair swaying behind her.

Gu Yan followed behind, the Demon-Suppressing Blade at her waist swaying gently.

He thought for a moment and then spoke, his tone casual.

"Maybe we should just forget about it. The employer hasn't sent any messages yet."

"What if they don't want to hire you anymore? You'll have wasted your time."

Fu Wanqing didn't even turn her head; her voice drifted over from the front.

"No, he said he'd meet me at 3 PM today, no exceptions."

"He confirmed it when he sent the message, and even told me to choose the address."

Gu Yan's lips twitched. He was the one who sent that message, so of course he remembered it.

"Then why are you so sure he'll come? What if it's an emergency?"

Fu Wanqing stopped and turned to look at him, her amber eyes blinking.

"I guessed it, I felt he would come, my intuition is very accurate."

Looking into her earnest eyes, Gu Yan felt a little guilty.

"I'm much better at guessing people than you are. If I say he won't come, he won't come."

Fu Wanqing looked at him suspiciously, her brows furrowing slightly.

"How can you be so sure? You don't know him, and you've never seen him before."

Gu Yan felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze and quickly looked away.

"It's just a guess, it's not illegal. Let's go, let's not waste time."

He quickened his pace and walked ahead, no longer daring to continue the topic.

Fu Wanqing followed, her eyes still filled with a hint of doubt.

The two walked for more than twenty minutes and arrived at the coffee shop in the city center.

The place isn't big, but it's exquisitely decorated, with several potted plants at the entrance and the glass doors sparkling clean.

Fu Wanqing stood at the door and glanced inside, a bright smile on her face.

"This is it. He said we should meet at this coffee shop."

Gu Yan stood beside her, looking at the familiar doorway, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

He chose the location, he sent the message, and he arranged the interview.

Now, the employer is standing at the door, and the job applicant is also standing at the door.

However, employers dare not admit that they are employers, and job applicants are unaware that the person next to them is their employer.

The two of them stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, waiting for someone who wouldn't come.

Fu Wanqing found a seat by the window and ordered a glass of juice.

Gu Yan sat opposite her, ordered a glass of water, leaned back in her chair, and looked out the window.

Time passed by, minute by minute. It was past three o'clock, past three-thirty, and then four o'clock.

People came and went in the coffee shop, but no one approached them.

Fu Wanqing's smile faded little by little, like the sun being slowly obscured by clouds.

She looked down at her phone; the chat interface was on the screen.

The last message was from her: "See you there."

There was no reply, no message, as if they had vanished.

Gu Yan felt a little uncomfortable looking at her like this.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.

You can't exactly say, "That employer is me, and I'm bedridden and can't come," can you?

After a long while, he spoke, his voice very soft.

"Maybe he really had an emergency; he didn't mean to not come."

Fu Wanqing looked up at him, her amber eyes devoid of tears.

But that sense of loss is more painful than crying out loud; it's like a long-awaited gift suddenly disappearing.

"You're right, he might really not be coming."

Her voice was much softer than usual, but she still managed a smile.

"It's okay, if they don't want to come, they don't have to. I'll find another job."

That smile was still there, still so bright, but Gu Yan could tell.

This time, I'm really putting on an act, not for others, but for myself.

Looking at her smile, he felt even worse.

"Don't rush, he might be a little late. Some people just love to be late."
