Chapter 1057: The Flash Marriage Heiress (41)

Normally, whenever Gu Ye reviewed case files, unless the client specifically requested confidentiality, he wouldn't refuse to share them.

Besides, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be looking at any especially sensitive documents.

Right.

Those looked more like photographs.

Could they be some kind of scandalous intimate photos?

No, that wasn't right.

Even if they were nude pictures, that guy wouldn't hide them so carefully, would he?

After his partner left, Gu Ye sat back down in his chair. The corners of his lips curled upward, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stared at the photos in his hand and sincerely praised,

"Beautiful."

"When she smiles, she's beautiful. When she drives, she's beautiful. When she talks to people, she's beautiful. Even when she's plotting against someone, she's just as charming."

The stack of photographs in his hands turned out to be nothing more than candid snapshots from Tang Guo's daily life.

With a trace of regret, he muttered to himself,

"When are you getting divorced?"

Thinking about how Luo Yicheng's company had climbed to the upper-middle tier in less than a year, he sighed.

"Probably not anytime soon. Qian Beibei hasn't met Luo Yicheng in over six months."

"Then again, Luo Yicheng is so busy that he has no time for Qian Beibei. His schedule is packed every day by his secretary. Even if Qian Beibei wanted to engineer a chance encounter, she wouldn't be able to."

Resting his forehead against one hand, Gu Ye suddenly chuckled.

"It doesn't matter. A duck that's already in my pocket won't fly away. I can afford to wait."

"Given Qian Beibei's current state of mind, it shouldn't be long before she comes looking for Luo Yicheng."

"And once Luo Yicheng relaxes a little, he'll definitely start thinking about the woman he failed to marry."

"Mm, those two really are quite well-matched."

…

Meanwhile, in a place Gu Ye knew nothing about, Tang Guo was reclining on the sofa with her eyes closed, watching him mutter to himself while admiring her photographs.

He looked every bit like a creep.

【Host, this guy's a pervert. Want me to teach him a lesson?】 the system asked belatedly, still oblivious to the deeper truth. After all, Tang Guo rarely met Gu Ye. Aside from discussing business, they hardly interacted, and there had never been any ambiguity between them.

Tang Guo opened her eyes.

"No need. He's just admiring my photos and praising me. He hasn't done anything else. It's perfectly normal for beautiful people to be liked. We can't deprive others of the right to admire beauty, can we?"

"That Cheapskate Gu is probably just one of my fans."

The system almost choked.

A fan?!

Host, do you have no shame?

But looking at Tang Guo's face, it had to admit—

It was a little obsessed with appearances too.

That face was simply pleasing to look at.

Still…

Something felt off.

When had Host become so broad-minded?

This was stalking!

Host, wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!!

That pervert is secretly taking pictures of you!!

Suddenly, the system remembered a saying:

When someone you like flirts with you, it's flirting.

When someone you don't like does the same thing, it's harassment.

Its data quivered violently.

A possibility flashed through its mind.

Could that Cheapskate Gu be Host's adorable one?

Yes.

Most likely.

Time flew by.

Before anyone realized it, two years had passed since Luo Yicheng founded his company.

From the very beginning, the company had been generously funded, far stronger than many startups. And later on, Tang Guo and her two brothers had invested even more capital.

Combined with Luo Yicheng's years of preparation and the team he had brought with him, his company had grown astonishingly.

In just two short years, it had become a dazzling rising star in the industry—

A company so successful that it had attracted attention from every direction.
