Who Doesn't Have Two Faces?

Who Doesn't Have Two Faces?

Only then did he notice that the roses in the living room were gone, though their faint fragrance still lingered.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Gu Lin's gentle voice was low and deep. "I've put them in the garden. You can go see them whenever you want."

Last night?

Lin Su's gaze fell on Gu Lin's face. The bruise on his cheekbone was still faint enough to be overlooked, but it became noticeable if one looked closely. The wound at the corner of his lips was the most obvious.

Feeling guilty, he said, "Sorry, I... Does it still hurt?"

"Don't worry, it's just a small wound." Gu Lin touched the corner of his lips, then added, "I didn't scare you last night, did I?"

Lin Su paused slightly, then shook his head and said softly, "No."

"Don't worry. A few bumps and scrapes are normal."

Those reassuring words did nothing to settle Lin Su's emotions. He knew Gu Lin would never escape the gossip in the group today.

Over breakfast, they chatted now and then. Everything seemed as usual, yet something more had entered the atmosphere between them.

The car moved along steadily. Gu Lin drove, and Lin Su had no idea what to say.

This is awkward. We're not even together yet. What about later...

Wait, isn't it too early to be thinking about this?

We can't keep being this ambiguous. How do we break through it?

Gu Lin was delighted. What Lin Su worried about was how they got along, which meant he was already prepared to accept this relationship from the bottom of his heart.

"Let's have lunch together."

Lin Su turned to look at the speaker. The man had both hands on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed ahead. His thin lips parted again. "I'll make the reservation."

We're not even together yet. Why are you trying to steal my job?

Lin Su pushed up his slipping glasses and said softly, "This is my job. I should do it."

Gu Lin let out a quiet laugh. His magnetic voice made Lin Su blush, and he turned his gaze away, pretending to be calm.

"You decide."

Lin Su's face instantly turned scarlet, and he actually gave a soft hum.

Huh? What was that hum for?!

And Gu Lin, why does he have no restraint when he talks now? Can being in love really change someone's personality?

Gu Lin heard every word, and the corners of his lips lifted unconsciously. Perhaps Lin Su was right. Even if that was true, it wasn't bad.

Lin Su sat in the passenger seat, unable to calm his emotions. When the car stopped at the intersection, he realized they had already reached the road in front of the company. From where he sat, he could see the Ningli building.

How did we get here so quickly?

"I-I'll get out first." He hurriedly undid his seatbelt, only for a warm hand to cover his.

A large hand boldly clasped his. Lin Su felt the heat in his palm and looked up, only to see the man slowly leaning closer.

At a loss, he held his breath nervously and leaned back until his back pressed against the car door, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Lin Su could hear the panic in his own voice. His lashes lowered, and he did not dare look directly at him, but he could feel the man's breath drawing closer.

Gu Lin smiled, gently pinching his slender fingers. Amusement lingered lazily in his voice. "Be careful on the way."

Lin Su did not know whether it was just his imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of teasing in Gu Lin's words. The man had already straightened up, his dark eyes fixed on him with a smile.

Lin Su swallowed and mumbled something even he could not understand. Nervously, he opened the door and fled this "place of trouble."

He stood alone at the intersection. Gu Lin's car had long since disappeared from view. Lin Su raised his hand without knowing what he was looking at, his face growing even redder.

Had Gu Lin been possessed? How was he so good at stirring people's hearts? He was just like one of those fox spirits from mythology.

Beep beep beep.

Lin Su! Lin Su!

Beep beep beep.

It seemed someone was calling him. Lin Su stopped and turned to look, only to find a little pink jeep parked by the roadside at some point.

Get in, hurry! I'll give you a ride! Maybe I'll get to hear some sweet everyday moments too.

Lin Su opened the car door and got in, only to be greeted by Mu Xiaomu's strange smile. "What were you thinking about just now? I honked forever and nearly shouted myself hoarse. How did you not react at all?"

"Oh, your face is so red." As she spoke, she lowered her head to look out the window. "The sun isn't even up yet."

Lin Su unconsciously touched his cheek. It was indeed a little hot. Pretending to remain calm, he said, "I probably walked too fast just now." Then he lowered his head to look at his watch and changed the subject. "It's getting late. Let's go to the company first."

How could Mu Xiaomu not know what was going on? Since Lin Su did not want to say it, a little teasing was enough. She chuckled. "Okay, let's go."

The car stopped in the underground parking garage. The instant Lin Su opened the door, he froze. Gu Lin was getting out of the car across from them.

What a coincidence?

Shouldn't Gu Lin have gotten to the company early?

Just after Gu Lin's car drove off, that little pink car appeared in his rearview mirror. Of course, he knew whose car it was.

He had indeed arrived early, and he had deliberately parked here to wait for Lin Su.

"Hey, President Gu, good morning!" Mu Xiaomu called with a smile, though her gaze darted back and forth between the two of them. Then her eyes suddenly lit up.

She understood!

Mu Xiaomu raised her voice and said, "Assistant Lin, President Gu, I'm heading upstairs first."

"Aren't you two going together?"

Her voice was loud enough to draw the attention of quite a few employees. Lin Su looked calm and composed on the surface, but inwardly he was nervous to death. Especially after noticing several people staring at them, his heart pounded wildly.

Meanwhile, the culprit had already fled.

They were left standing by their cars on opposite sides of the lane as passing colleagues greeted them one after another.

Once most people had left, Gu Lin said blandly, "Morning, Assistant Lin."

He paused, then nodded at the sound of his voice. "Morning, President Gu."
