When Gu Xiao heard this, the seriousness on her face lessened a little, but her expression did not completely relax.

“It’s because I know this that I’m even more worried.”

If the cause of Ji Chen’s depression was not the Ji Group, then what else could affect Ji Chen? One must know that when Radiant was completely blocked off by the Ji Group, Ji Chen was still able to remain calm and composed.

Gu Xiao twisted her index and middle fingers together. This was a small action that she would occasionally use when she was thinking.

Hearing this, Chu An didn’t know what was the reason behind Ji Chen’s tone either.

However, looking at the slightly vexed Gu Xiao, Chu An still subconsciously comforted her. “Since Brother Chen can still take the initiative to meet you at this time, the problem shouldn’t be too big. If Xiaoxiao is really worried, you can just ask Brother Chen in person when you meet this time.”

Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao’s small movements paused for a moment before she completely relaxed.

She looked up at Chu An and slowly nodded. “I know what to do.”

The corners of Chu An’s lips curled up into an arc, and the expression in his eyes became even gentler. It could even drown people in his eyes.

“Don’t think too much.” After saying this, Chu An directly changed the topic and diverted Gu Xiao’s attention. He didn’t want Gu Xiao to be immersed in this anxiety.

Gu Xiao understood Chu An’s intentions. After blinking, there was really no longer any worry in her eyes.

Although she still couldn’t let go of her worries for Ji Chen, she didn’t want to affect Chu An because of this.

In the afternoon, almost an hour before Ji Chen’s appointment, Gu Xiao and Chu An left the villa and drove to the restaurant that Ji Chen had booked.

When Chu An and Gu Xiao went out, they happened to avoid the evening rush hour. In just over half an hour, the two of them arrived outside the restaurant.

Gu Xiao got out of the car and turned to look at Chu An, who was still in the driver’s seat. “You can find a place to eat too. 1’11 send you a message afterwards.”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s advice, Chu An agreed with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll go eat. Hurry up and go in!”

Chu An watched as the waiter led Gu Xiao into the restaurant until she couldn’t be seen. Only then did Chu An get someone to park the car and follow her into the restaurant.

He was really worried about Gu Xiao and Ji Chen’s condition today. It was better to be closer to Gu Xiao.

Even if something happened, he could rush over as soon as he received Gu Xiao’s message.

At this moment, Chu An was a little glad that Ji Chen had booked this restaurant.

After all, he and Gu Xiao had been here for too many times previously. After the boss of this restaurant found out about his and Gu Xiao’s ident.i.ties, he specially reserved a private room for them. As long as it was not an urgent matter, the boss would leave a private room for him.

As long as he came, he didn’t have to worry about not being able to enter the restaurant.

When Chu An had someone park the car, Gu Xiao had already arrived at the private room that Ji Chen had booked.

When the waiter opened the door of the private room for her, she saw Ji Chen who was already sitting in the private room with his head slightly lowered, thinking about something.

At this moment, Ji Chen was surrounded by a kind of loneliness, a kind of loneliness that no one else could break.

But when Gu Xiao appeared in front of Ji Chen, the loneliness disappeared completely.

Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ji Chen immediately raised his head and looked towards the door.

After noticing Gu Xiao’s figure, a complicated look flashed across Ji Chen’s eyes. Then, this complicated look quickly disappeared from Ji Chen’s eyes. Even Gu Xiao did not notice that something was wrong with Ji Chen.

Ji Chen stood up and walked towards Gu Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, why are you here so early? I thought that you would be a little late.”

Gu Xiao took two steps forward. When the waiter who brought Gu Xiao over saw this, he tactfully closed the door and left the private room.

“Chu An’s and my villa is not far from here, so we came here rather quickly.” Gu Xiao said. Under Ji Chen’s lead, she sat down next to Ji Chen, then looked sideways at Ji Chen. “Brother, why are you here so early?”

Ever since the Ji Group canceled the ban on Radiant, Ji Chen had been busy. Even if he had time to visit her, he would come on the dot and leave quickly..
