"Hmm, it sounds nice." Gu Fuqiao nodded, then turned around and left with the lunchbox in her hand.
The cook was puzzled by Gu Fuqiao's sudden departure, while Yan Zhen Guo explained that Gu Fuqiao was feeling a bit unwell and exchanged a few words with the cook.
In the research institute, Yan Zhen Guo was someone people admired, so upon hearing this, the cook was naturally willing to chat with him for a bit.
Meanwhile, Gu Fuqiao returned home on her own, worried throughout the journey. She was anxious about Fang Yaoshi appearing and feared Yan Zhen Guo would leave her. Thinking about these things, Gu Fuqiao felt restless and uneasy.
As she staggered back home, Chen Bajin happened to step out from her house. "Ah Jiao!" Chen Bajin greeted Gu Fuqiao warmly.
However, the distraught Gu Fuqiao couldn't spare a moment to acknowledge Chen Bajin. She opened the door and walked straight in, slamming it shut with a thud.
