Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Starting Tomorrow, You Don’t Need to Show Up at Gu Headquarters Anymore

At this hour, the other employees of the Gu Family had long since left work. The expansive office was empty and desolate, with only the corridor lights still illuminated.

Zhu Jianian stood a few steps away, seemingly waiting deliberately for him.

"Mo Qian, are you off work yet? I’ve been learning to cook with Sister-in-law Zhang, and you’ve come back just in time for some hot corn and pork ribs stew." On the other end of the phone, Ji Wei’s cheerful voice rang out.

Gu Moqian could picture her busy in the kitchen at that moment, and an unconscious smile formed at the corners of his mouth. "Mm, I’ll be back shortly. If you’re hungry, you can eat first—just save some dishes for me."

"How could I do that? I want to wait for you so we can eat together," Ji Wei said stubbornly.

"Alright."

"Mo Qian, can you have dinner with me?"
