Chapter 2043: Collateral Ex-Girlfriend vs. Blackened Current Girlfriend (Part 9)

Gu Shengyin and Cen Yuye exchanged business cards, said a quick apology, and then hurriedly left.

When she got home, as expected, both her parents were waiting for her on the sofa.

Mrs. Xie had retired early from a senior management position at the company a few years ago due to health issues, but Father Xie was still working in the company.

Seeing Gu Shengyin, he was a bit curious: "Today... you got off work quite early, so why are you back so late?"

Gu Shengyin put down her bag, changed into slippers, sat on the sofa, and took a sip of the juice Mrs. Xie handed her.

She said, "I ran into a couple of people after work and chatted for a bit."

Father Xie didn’t ask any more questions.

He had only asked casually out of concern. His daughter was already an adult, entitled to her own personal space.

At dinner, Mrs. Xie started fussing again, personally serving her daughter some soup: "I specifically asked Auntie Lin to make this, it’s especially nourishing. Hanhan has really been working hard lately; it seems she’s lost a lot of weight..."

Gu Shengyin speechlessly touched her own face.

Probably, in the eyes of mothers all over the world, their children always have an aura of being "frail," right?

She said nothing, obediently took the bowl of soup and drank it all.

After washing up in the evening, lying in bed, Gu Shengyin was browsing through a book when her phone suddenly beeped.

She opened it and saw it was a text message: "It’s Cen Yuye."

She knew it was Cen Yuye. When she got home, Gu Shengyin had saved Cen Yuye’s number.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shengyin replied with a smiley face emoji and then sent a string of numbers.

"This is my WeChat ID."

In fact, chatting on social media apps is indeed much more convenient than using traditional text messages.

Cen Yuye was quick to act; it didn’t even take a minute before Gu Shengyin received a friend request on WeChat.

"Cen" requests to add you as a friend.

Quite a straightforward and crisp nickname.

Gu Shengyin thought of Cen Yuye’s cold, deep handsome face and inexplicably felt that this nickname truly matched him.

Meanwhile, Cen Yuye was also momentarily taken aback by Gu Shengyin’s nickname.

Mengmeng’s Hanhan?

Thinking of her neat short hair and somewhat formal attire, Cen Yuye found it really hard to associate her with that nickname.

He added her as a friend, sending a tentative message over.

Cen: Miss Xie?

The reply came swiftly:

Mengmeng’s Hanhan: Mr. Cen.

Gu Shengyin didn’t find anything unusual about this.

In fact, Xie Han truly is a girl who loves beauty and being coquettish. But having graduated and joined the company, she is young and pretty, and looks really harmless. If she doesn’t dress up in a more mature and glamorous way, it’s hard to take charge.

And in the company, she never uses this WeChat account, having applied for a new account instead.

This private account, which she has been using since childhood, only includes some close friends and family members.

Cen Yuye couldn’t resist clicking on her profile picture to check out her moments.

He saw a Xie Han that was completely different from the one he met today.

The moments had old selfies of Xie Han in stylish and fashionable clothes, with long hair, laughing happily.

Like all young girls, she enjoyed taking selfies, sharing her moods, sharing food, and venting about certain things.

The most recent moment was from a month ago, featuring a picture of a cat with a melancholy gaze, without any text.
