Wen Qiao put away his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and snorted: "Tell me, are you planning to do something bad behind my back? You actually lied to me that you were on a business trip."
Just trying to lighten the mood.
The office door was half-open, and the two secretaries outside felt inexplicably relieved when they heard Wen Qiao's voice.
Fu Nanli sat in the boss chair and did not get up. "We did plan to fly to Nanbin Island in the evening."
Wen Qiao was sitting at the table. Seeing that he was in a strange posture with his hands behind his back, she immediately grabbed his arm. She saw the gauze wrapped around it and her heart ached: "What's wrong with this?"
"It's okay, I accidentally got burned by the coffee."
Wen Qiao's eyes were full of heartache: "Why are you so careless?"
"It's okay, don't worry."
"You said that your company's affairs bothered you. Has it been resolved now?"
Fu Nanli lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's not the company's business that bothers me. I just learned about some past events these past two days, and it's hard to get over it for the time being."
Wen Qiao nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is."
Fu Nanli pinched her fingers and said, "It's about my father."
Wen Qiao saw that his eyes were struggling and he was filled with sadness. His voice was choked in his throat. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
He is a man who values reputation very much. Asking him to say with his own mouth that his father had cheated on him was probably a capital punishment for him.
He held her hand tightly and whispered, "My father seemed to have another woman back then."
The room was silent when he said it. Wen Qiao was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say to comfort him.
After a while, he said, "So you know that you have a younger brother? Maybe I shouldn't call him your brother..."
Fu Nanli: "So you know Gu Xiao is my brother, right?"
Wen Qiao said truthfully, "I overheard Dong Ge say before that Gu Xiao looked a bit like you before he had plastic surgery. I thought it was a bit strange. When you took me to New York, didn't I go to his school? Just these two days I got his high school photos, and he really looks... a lot like you... I asked you to go to the movies outside yesterday, and I was planning to tell you about this, but someone else got there first. I'm sorry."
She looked so apologetic, Fu Nanli felt so distressed, and said in a low voice, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you."
Wen Qiao looked at him anxiously: "Are you okay?"
Fu Nanli even sounded a little depressed, "To be honest, I'm not feeling well, Qiao'er. I'm not feeling well. My thoughts are a bit confused right now, and I need to sort out my thoughts."
Wen Qiao hugged him and said, "I'm with you. I'm always with you."
His voice was deep, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "I just can't understand why my father acted like that. I always thought he loved my mother and me very much. I thought too much. It turns out that I have always been overthinking."
Wen Qiao felt that his vocabulary was so poor, "No, don't think like that, your father definitely loves you."
Fu Nanli rubbed her head and smiled. Wen Qiao felt sad when she saw his smile.
He is unhappy, he is very unhappy.
Gu Xiao achieved his goal.
"I shouldn't have invited him to my club from the beginning." She looked at him with red eyes, "I really didn't know he was your brother at first. I didn't know he approached me with a purpose. If I had known earlier, I would definitely..."
