Chapter 116: 2 months

December 5, 20XX (Thursday)

Various Places

It was 10am in the morning, Qiao Lin was sleeping soundly in her room with Tang Ai beside her. As she dislike sleeping alone, she had Tang Ai sleep beside her. She had wanted Song Yu to sleep with her but a certain someone had stopped the latter from sleeping with her.

Angered by it, she could only glared at the floor and stomped to her room. No matter how angry she was, there was no way she would confront 'The Gu Chen'. She did not have the guts to do it and she did not have a valid reason to argue either.

-----------

Inside Song Yu's room, Gu Chen had been beside her all along. Accompanying her, as he was busy leaving work all of a sudden to find her. He had many things to settle, making him even more busy after leaving work all of a sudden.

He was sitting on the bed, one leg crossed. He had his laptop on his right thigh. One hand typing, while the other holding onto Song Yu's tiny hand. They were in this position for hours, after Gu Chen coaxed Song Yu to sleep. He had been working till the morning, all along in the same position.

As Song Yu had been holding onto him, leaving him no choice but to accommodate her. He did not dislike it, he even hope that the always strong Song Yu would be more clingy with him. But he knew it was all a dream, the dream that can never be fulfilled, he thought...

While Gu Chen was typing away, he heard a 'ding' sound, signifying that there was a notification. Gu Chen took the phone that was on the small table, he saw that it was a messaged by someone name Leo.

Gu Chen furrowed his brows in unhappiness, he decided to ready the notification before getting angry. The message stated,

Leo: [Ariela, did something happened?...is the flight delayed?....there are some matters that needed your urgent attention..]

Seeing the message, Gu Chen got curious as to what business did Song Yu have. He decided to give her some personal space, not to look into it. As he wanted to wait for Song Yu to tell him herself, he placed the phone back down.

He closed his laptop and lied down beside Song Yu, enveloping her into a tight hug. Subconsciously Song Yu had snuggled close to the heat, comfortable and secure. In her deep sleep, she had a nice and peaceful dream.

"You better comeback now, you still have a lot of shoots to do!" Pan Ke shouted through the phone at Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin awake by the call, she was still dazed. As she just woke up, her mind was still fuzzy. Having heard her manager voice, made her tremble in fear. She had blocked off all contacts, work and family. To be able to follow Song Yu and enjoy some free time, now that she had unblocked the contact.

Pan Ke was able to call her, "Ah Ke, I don't want to go back to work. I want to get a break from all the work..." Qiao Lin voiced sounded tired, she really did felt tired from all the work. She had been flying here and there for shoots, she had reached her goal in the modeling industry but her work was still endless.

Hearing the tired sound of Qiao Lin, Pan Ke did not know what to do. As she know she had been busy and hard working for the pass years, never had she taken a break. It was understandable for her to want to request for a break, not knowing how to decline. She could only keep silence..

Knowing what Pan Ke was thinking, Qiao Lin hurriedly added "Just a tiny break will do..."

hesitating for a moment, Pan Ke replied with a helpless tone "How long?"

"2 months!"

"...." 'Was two months a tiny break?' Pan Ke thought.

"Fine" Pan Ke replied in a hesitant tone, she knew she did not have a choice to agree with to her request as she did not have a reason to decline.

On the other line, Qiao Lin happily jumped and laugh. She was in a euphoria, never had she imagine she would be able to get a break from working. Not from working but for a whole two months.

In the study room, there was only the sounds flipping of papers and typing of keyboards. Song Yu was busy typing away while listening through her wireless ear piece, Zachary was on the other line speaking to her.

"Ariela, there is many complications if you go. There is some delay in the business in New York, the suppliers in France had also been delayed. I went to check it and indeed someone was behind it..." Zachary informed Song Yu.

After she finished signing the documents, Song Yu looked at Tang Ai who was infront of her desks and said "Ai, delay the trip to Country A. Contact the New York branch, I will be heading there instead."

Tang Ai took the documents from Song Yu and replied, "I'll go and make the arrangements, the timing for the flight is till the same 6 pm."

Song Yu nodded before returning back to her work, all along ignoring a certain man and woman. Both of them looked angered at Song Yu for being ignored, "You are not going anywhere!" Gu Chen said in a low and commanding tone.

Song Yu who was busy typing away turned and looked at the man, she stared at him not saying anything. After a minute, Song Yu said "Zac, I'll talk to you later" she hung up after that.

"Chen I need to go, something happened at the branch in New York. My boss...."

"Aren't you the boss?" Gu Chen interrupted Song Yu.

"..."!!! Song Yu was stunned, she did not know the information of her being the Z.D.Y Corp boss would be this quick. She did not know how to react to the situation, she felt guilty and helpless as she was facing Gu Chen.

"So you already found out....then since you already found out, can't you...."

"The discussion stays here, you have just recovered. I can help you and settle the business there, but you have to stay here." Gu Chen instructed.

Qiao Lin who was at the side could sense the temperature in the room dropping lower and lower, she felt suffocated in the room. Seeing two equally stubborn people arguing, she certainly did not want to get involved in it.

Qiao Lin hurriedly stood up and ran out of the room, not daring to looked back. Straight after she left, Song Yu spoke "Chen, I promise I will be very careful and take care of my health. It is just gonna be a few days, before you knew it I would arrived in Country Z.." Song Yu tried to negotiate, she slowly stood up and walked towards the man who was sitting on the couch.

"Woman, I am only going to give you two choices. First option, you will stay here and behaved yourself. Second option, I will accompany you back to Country Z." Gu Chen said in a stern tone, not giving her any other option.

Song Yu furrowed her brows in anger, she knew the man is not going to listen to what she say. It has always been like that, she can never choose whatever she wants in front of him. The man would always disagree with her, leaving no room for discussion.

"Gu Chen Han, you promised you will listen to whatever I had to say and not rush to deciding everything for me." Song Yu said in a patient and calm tone, she sat down beside the man and looked at him.

Gu Chen remained silent as he thought to himself, was he being to controlling again. He felt that he was right, he felt he did nothing wrong in deciding for the best for her. "I really need to go, I promise if I fall sick again I will never disagree with you and listen to whatever you say." she tried to negotiate again.

"Alright, but on one condition..." Gu Chen paused, waiting for the woman to say something.

Song Yu eyes glowed, "Anything, I will..."

"I'll go with you" Gu Chen cut him off.
