Don't worry, mother, I've brought the golden finger to change your fate

Chapter 171 and Gu Yan

While Lin Ruowei is busy with the digital transformation of the company, global expansion and responding to market challenges, Gu Yan still occupies an important place in her heart. Although the two are in the same company, they have met less and less recently due to their busy affairs. Lin Ruowei feels a little lost in her heart. She knows that she has not really stopped to face their feelings for a long time.

That day, Lin Ruowei finished a busy day at work and was about to go home to rest when her cell phone suddenly rang. She saw Gu Yan's name on the screen, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

"Ruo Wei, I just finished a meeting and noticed that the lights in your office were still on. Haven't you gotten off work yet?" Gu Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone, low and gentle.

Lin Ruowei smiled slightly, with a hint of tiredness in her tone: "Yes, I just finished a day's work and am ready to go home. What about you, are you still busy?"

"Actually, I just finished everything," Gu Yan said with concern, "I wanted to ask if you have time to have dinner together? We haven't had a good chat for a long time."

Lin Ruowei felt warm in her heart and said softly, "Okay, I also want to talk to you. You decide the location."

Gu Yan smiled and replied: "I'll wait for you at the restaurant we often go to. See you there."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruowei felt much more relaxed. She changed her clothes and prepared to go to the restaurant, feeling a little bit of anticipation and nervousness. Although their relationship was still tacit, it seemed that because of their busy schedules, they had less time to get close. She hoped to have a good talk with Gu Yan tonight.

Half an hour later, Lin Ruowei arrived at the restaurant they often went to. Gu Yan was already waiting there, and when he saw her come in, a familiar gentle smile appeared on his face.

"You're here." Gu Yan stood up and pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you," Lin Ruowei smiled and sat down, feeling a little warm in her heart, "It seems that I finally have a chance to relax today."

Gu Yan nodded and looked at her gently: "You are always busy with business matters. I know these are important to you, but sometimes I also hope that you can take some time to stop and take care of yourself."

Lin Ruowei was slightly startled, then she sighed softly: "I know you are right. There are indeed too many things going on recently. I always put all my energy on work and ignore many other important things."

Gu Yan's eyes were gentle. He reached out and gently held Lin Ruowei's hand: "Ruowei, you have always been a strong woman, and I am proud of you. But sometimes, you also need someone by your side to share the pressure and fatigue with you. I hope I can be that person."

Lin Ruowei's heart trembled. She raised her head and met Gu Yan's gaze, feeling the affection and concern in his eyes. She was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I know you are always by my side, Gu Yan, I am really grateful. It's just that sometimes, I don't know how to rely on others, and I am used to taking all the responsibilities myself."

Gu Yan smiled gently: "I know you, Ruo Wei. You always want to shoulder everything by yourself, but you have to know that I am willing to face these with you. I don't want you to bear all the pressure alone."

Lin Ruowei looked at him and suddenly felt soft in her heart. She knew that Gu Yan had never asked her to change anything, he just wanted to be more involved in her life and become her pillar and partner.

"Gu Yan," Lin Ruowei's voice softened, "I don't want to bear all the pressure alone. I just...sometimes I forget how to rely on you. But I will study hard and learn not to face all the challenges alone."

Gu Yan gently squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "We have plenty of time, take your time. I just hope you know that no matter what time it is, I will always be by your side."

Lin Ruowei felt a warm current surge in her heart. She nodded gently, with a little light in her eyes: "Thank you, Gu Yan. I am really lucky to have you by my side."

The two smiled at each other, as if the alienation they had felt for many days had quietly dissipated at this moment. Gu Yan nodded and said gently, "Come on, let's relax today and not talk about work."

The atmosphere of the dinner was relaxed and pleasant. Lin Ruowei found that it had been a long time since she had let go of all the pressure and chatted with Gu Yan in a relaxed manner. The two recalled the past bits and pieces, talked about their recent life and work, and seemed to have regained the tacit understanding and warmth they once had.

After dinner, Gu Yan suggested taking a walk together. The night air was fresh, and Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan walked side by side on the street, feeling a long-lost tranquility in their hearts.

"Actually, I've been thinking about our future recently." Gu Yan suddenly spoke with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Lin Ruowei turned her head to look at him and smiled slightly: "Future? What do you mean?"

Gu Yan stopped and looked deeply into her eyes: "Ruo Wei, I hope our relationship can be more clear. I want to be more involved in your life, not just as a partner, but more as...your future partner."

Lin Ruowei's heart was slightly shaken. She felt Gu Yan's seriousness and affection, and recalled every bit of their time together. She knew that her feelings for Gu Yan had long surpassed a simple friendship or partnership.

She smiled softly, her eyes gentle: "Gu Yan, I understand what you mean. In fact, I have long realized that I need more than just a partner. I also hope that we can face the future together and rely on each other."

Gu Yan smiled, and he reached out and gently stroked her cheek: "That's it, Ruo Wei. Let's move towards the future together. No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together."

Lin Ruowei nodded, her heart filled with warmth and determination. She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she was no longer alone. Gu Yan would always be by her side, meeting all the challenges and beauty with her.

The two walked side by side on the street, the night breeze was blowing and the stars were shining.
