Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Are You Following Me?

He had clearly understood before that Gu Peng was not a local in An City. He hadn’t been there long, and before joining Xiyang, he had merely been living from one odd job to the next, often not knowing where his next meal would come from.

Wang Tianyu felt that he had lost the person he was following. Gu Peng was not necessarily among these residents, so he quickened his pace, walked out of the alley, and continued pressing forward.

He turned two more corners and still didn’t see that figure, realizing he had indeed lost the person, and was resigned to turn back.

As soon as he turned around, a figure blocked his path, with a voice cold and low, "Are you stalking me?"

At that moment, Wang Tianyu’s hair stood on end.

Curiously tracking Gu Peng was one thing, but being caught in the act was another.

And one had to admit, Gu Peng had a very unique aura about him.

Though Gu Peng was only seven or eight years older than Wang Tianyu, the kind of steady presence he carried, especially the oppressive feeling he exuded when surrounded by a low pressure, made Wang Tianyu feel that it was even more intense than his old professors from university.

That kind of aura didn’t seem fitting for someone of his age.

He attributed Gu Peng’s aura to the fact that he had committed offenses in the past and had undergone reformation in prison for so many years.

Isn’t there a saying that life grinds down a person’s edges, and experience is the best teacher?

Gu Peng, having gone through so much, thus carried himself with a composure beyond his years.

That being said, facing him head-on left Wang Tianyu a bit frightened, hastily explaining, "No, no, how could it be? I just saw that person looked like you and came over to ask if you missed the bus. If you did, you could spend the night at my place; we have space. If need be, we could share a room—it’d be better than staying outside."

Gu Peng looked down at him, his face unreadable.

He said nothing, and the atmosphere between them grew even more tense.

Just as Wang Tianyu was considering whether to continue fabricating excuses, Gu Peng finally spoke.

"Did you forget? We have my office at the Xiyang Group headquarters, and there’s the Xia Yang Hotel below the Xiyang Building. Mr. Lin has said that with our status, staying at the Xia Yang Hotel is free."

Wang Tianyu laughed awkwardly, "Is that so? Look at me, I got so busy I forgot."

He certainly knew this, and precisely because he knew, seeing Gu Peng outside of the Xia Yang Group Building seemed odd to him.

Moreover, he always felt that Mr. Lin hiring Gu Peng into the company and even making him his close assistant was too hasty.

His intuition told him Gu Peng was not that simple.

That’s why when he saw Gu Peng, he didn’t hesitate to follow.

But facing Gu Peng’s scrutinizing gaze, he dared not voice these thoughts.

Gu Peng suddenly let out a cold chuckle, as if he saw right through Wang Tianyu, "Put away your petty tricks and focus on doing your own work. Mind your business less. Mr. Lin has taken a liking to you, and that’s your luck. If you put your mind where it shouldn’t be, watch out for your job security."

With that, he ignored whatever Wang Tianyu’s reaction might be, turned, and walked off in another direction.

Not until that figure disappeared from view did Wang Tianyu let out a heavy sigh of relief, feeling completely drained.

If it wasn’t for the big tree behind him, he might have just fallen onto the ground.

It was only then that he realized he had been threatened by Gu Peng.

Him, an assistant who had been working under Mr. Lin for a while, threatened by Mr. Lin’s new assistant?

The feeling of discomfort and powerlessness grew stronger.
