Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 158 - 155: Missing You (Extra for Monthly Ticket)

Seeing that Wen Nan was silent, yet an eerie smile appeared on his face, Yang Jingyuan became increasingly confused. She was currently unable to get out of the car, so she could only raise her bare arm, pull on his wrist, and softly said, "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to have a good chat with me? Come into the car first, let's sit down and talk properly, okay, little brother?"

However, Wen Nan withdrew his hand at this moment and shook his head, "Sister, let's wait until you're in a better mood to continue. For today, let's stop here?"

The tone of his words suggested negotiation, yet Wen Nan didn't give her the chance to refuse. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked toward the elevator hall without looking back.

Closing the elevator doors, Yu Shujun, leaning in the corner, coldly asked, "Why so quick this time?"

Wen Nan was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting from the black marker pen in his hand to Yu Shujun beside him, "Didn't you see?"

He thought that Yu Shujun always watched the entire scene from the VIP audience seats.

Yu Shujun lowered his gaze, "I'm not interested in your... official matters."

Wen Nan raised an eyebrow lightly, then nodded.

That's even better.

If it weren't for safety considerations, Wen Nan wouldn't want the little guy controlled by his rune patterns to always hide in the shadows, eavesdropping or observing his every show.

But now, since Yu Shujun can ensure Wen Nan won't be harmed by hidden forces while avoiding things herself, Wen Nan couldn't be happier.

Putting away the marker pen, Wen Nan quickly called up the core group of the Wenna Guild from the system—

[Jiu: Any progress?]

[HuoHuoHuo: Boss, we've searched the place thoroughly, but haven't found any clues yet! We're still working hard! [Struggle][Struggle][Struggle]]

[Little Fu: Uncle Mingzhong has taken over the surveillance room at Erin Group's headquarters, and I'm now retrieving footage from various locations, trying to search every corner around here, President]

[HuoHuoHuo: Honestly, this building was already thoroughly searched in previous missions. I think we should look outside, in stores across the company, or even further in residential buildings, hotels, areas near interchanges, and check them]

[Little Fu: (⊙_◎) We are just a few people; it's probably very difficult to search such a large area in one day]

[Jiu: No need to leave the company]

[Jiu: I've gleaned clues from characters, the place must be around this building]

[Jiu: Try looking underground]

[Little Fu: (ᵒ̤̑₀̑ᵒ̤̑)wow!*✰ Underground? In the garage?]

[Jiu: Deeper]

[Little Fu: How much deeper can it get? Three feet under?]

[Jiu: You'll have to figure that out yourselves]

[Y.M.Z.: Got it, President, leave it to us]

[HuoHuoHuo: [Muscle][Muscle][Muscle]]

...

...

Closing the chat window, the elevator chimed, arriving at the top floor.

As soon as he returned to his desk, Assistant Xiao Liu immediately came over, smiling and greeting Wen Nan, "Ye Jiu, President Guan just finished the meeting and is alone in his office now, with no interruptions."

With that, he showed Wen Nan an understanding smile.

Wen Nan glanced at the skills bar in the system.

Having just met Yang Jingyuan and used his [Mind Reading Technique], it had only just entered the cooldown period and would take more than two hours to be ready again.

At this critical moment, it would actually be prudent for Wen Nan not to rush to meet Guan Ailin.

But the message Guan Ailin sent him earlier made Wen Nan eager to see her quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Nan nodded, thanked Xiao Liu, then got up and knocked on the door of the president's office.

"Come in."

The familiar voice came from behind the door.

Wen Nan pushed the door open and went in, at a glance seeing Guan Ailin sitting behind the desk, wearing slender gold-edged glasses and buried in a pile of documents.

Guan Ailin looked up, saw Wen Nan, and smiled, "Is it you?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the sofa next to her, "Come in and sit."

Wen Nan glanced at the empty seat beside Guan Ailin, eventually sitting on the sofa she indicated.

Guan Ailin put down the documents, propped her elbows on the table, and looked at Wen Nan, "What brings you to me?"

Wen Nan was momentarily taken aback, wanting to say, wasn't it you who said you missed me and wanted me to accompany you?

But in the end, he didn't voice the questioning words, only smiling and saying, "I just wanted to see you."

Guan Ailin was momentarily stunned, then chuckled softly, got up from the swivel chair, came beside Wen Nan, and sat down, tilting her head slightly to look at him, "Now that you've seen me, what do you think?"

Wen Nan really took a serious look at Guan Ailin's face, then said, "It seems... a bit different from before."

Guan Ailin slightly widened her eyes, "Really? What's different?"

Wen Nan didn't answer immediately.

This morning, just at dawn, after their encounter, Guan Ailin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the street with a longing gaze, the thoughts she revealed in her heart still clearly echoed in Wen Nan's mind.

At that moment, Wen Nan was convinced that Guan Ailin was entirely different from any other role here.

Wen Nan wasn't sure if it was due to her ten-star rating, because of her soul thread's special connection with this building, because of certain hidden items in this instance, or for some other unknown reason...

In any case, Guan Ailin's consciousness had begun to awaken.

Wen Nan was very pleased at that time.

He wanted to take Guan Ailin away from here, and if she could awaken earlier, that would be even better.

However, when Wen Nan wanted to have a deeper conversation with Guan Ailin, his mind reading technique's duration expired.

Shortly after, the system's prompt sounded in his mind, informing him that the main task was nearing completion, forcing him to leave the president's office and return to the refresh point to complete the settlement.

Now, Wen Nan finally had the opportunity to meet Guan Ailin again, yet she seemed not to want to bring up the morning's conversation.

"What's the matter?" Guan Ailin softly smiled at Wen Nan, raising her hand to caress his cheek, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wen Nan reached behind him silently, retrieving that marker pen from his equipment backup slot.

"President Guan!" Assistant Xiao Liu's voice came from outside the door, "President Li is looking for you."

Guan Ailin responded, "I know, I'll be there shortly."

fter speaking, she gently kissed Wen Nan on the cheek, "I'll be out for a bit, I'll be back soon, will you wait here for me?"

Watching Guan Ailin leave, Wen Nan's whole body deflated like a balloon, slipping from the sofa onto the floor.

Sitting on the plush carpet, leaning against the sofa, Wen Nan held that marker pen in his hand, lost in thought.

His thoughts drifted as he inadvertently tapped the marker pen on the ground, and absentmindedly, he ended up inserting the pen barrel into a nearby data cable socket, where it got stuck.

"Damn."

Wen Nan gathered his thoughts, raising his hand to pull out the pen.

"Click."

The office door opened at this moment, and Guan Ailin stood at the doorway, her cheeks flushed and her chest heaving, perhaps from running back quickly.

Wen Nan paused his actions, looking up at her, "Weren't you going to a meeting? Back so soon?"

Guan Ailin closed the door, hurried over to Wen Nan, knelt down, cupping his face with her hands and kissed him forcefully,

"Missed you, so I came back."
