Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

Chapter 406: Kiss on the Neck

When Gu Yuan returned home and saw Jiang Ning's haggard face due to worry, he felt a deep sense of guilt and pity in his heart.

What Jiang Ning needs at this moment is not just verbal comfort, but also his care and company.

Gu Yuan gently embraced Jiang Ning in his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, and said in a calm voice:

"Jiang Ning, I know you must be very worried. It's my fault for not telling you the situation in time. But I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will let you know as soon as possible and won't let you worry about it alone."

Jiang Ning nodded gently in his arms, her voice trembling a little:

"I'm just afraid that something might happen to you, and that the company's problems will affect us."

Gu Yuan hugged her tightly, his tone firm but gentle:

"Don't worry, I have solved the company's problems. Although the situation this time is more urgent, we have survived. You have to believe me, no matter how big the difficulties are, we can face them together."

He gently let go of Jiang Ning, held her cheeks with both hands, stared into her eyes, and said seriously:

"Jiang Ning, you are my pillar and my driving force. I will not let you down, and I will not let you be alone. Our home is our common safe haven. No matter how the outside world changes, it will always be full of love and warmth."

As Jiang Ning listened to Gu Yuan's words, the tears in her eyes gradually stopped, and were replaced by trust and peace of mind.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down:

"I know. I always knew. It's just that sometimes, worrying makes me lose my mind."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly and gently wiped away the tears on her face:

"Now that everything is over, we should celebrate. I promise you, I will put down all my work today and spend the whole day with you. We can go for a walk together, go to the movies, or just stay at home and enjoy some time just for the two of us."

Jiang Ning finally smiled when he heard this:

"Really? Then I need to think about what to do today."

Gu Yuan felt relieved as he watched her regain her former vitality.

He scratched her nose gently with his finger:

"Of course it's true. Today you are my queen, and whatever you say goes."

The two smiled at each other, and all their worries and insecurities disappeared in the morning sunshine along with their laughter.

Jiang Ning also believes that as long as they work together, no difficulties will be insurmountable.

At this moment, they are more convinced that their love can stand the test of time and the ups and downs of life.

However, when Gu Yuan hugged Jiang Ning tightly, trying to dispel the uneasiness in her heart with his warm embrace and sincere words, Jiang Ning's eyes inadvertently swept across his neck.

On the skin that should have been smooth and flawless, a faint red mark suddenly caught her sight.

——Those were traces of lipstick, clear evidence of being kissed by a woman.

Jiang Ning's body stiffened involuntarily. Her heart seemed to be hit hard, and the originally calm lake surface was instantly rippled.

Countless questions and speculations flooded her mind, but she tried hard not to show her emotions.

She didn't want to destroy the harmony between the two of them because of a momentary impulse and misunderstanding at such a moment.

However, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are difficult to remove easily.

Jiang Ning tried to stay calm, but her voice still trembled a little unconsciously:

"Gu Yuan, what's on your neck?"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then reached out and touched his neck.

When he realized what the mark was, his expression suddenly became complicated.

He hurriedly explained:

"Listen to me, this is not what you think. There was an emergency at the company last night, and I rushed back to deal with it. As a result, a female colleague fainted. I hugged her, and I might have accidentally rubbed against her at that time."

Jiang Ning looked at him, a trace of barely perceptible pain flashing in his eyes:

"Is that really the case? Were you alone at the time? Why did you have to hold her? Or are you hiding something from me?"

Gu Yuan felt Jiang Ning's distrust, and his heart tightened.

He knew that the explanation at this moment was crucial. Once he lost the other party's trust, their relationship would face a severe test.

"I can swear that my feelings for you have never changed. This mark is indeed an accident. I was busy at the company last night and didn't even have time to rest. How could I have time to do other things? Please believe me."

Gu Yuan's tone was firm and sincere, and his eyes looked directly at Jiang Ning, trying to convey his frankness and sincerity.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment. She knew that she couldn't conclude that Gu Yuan was unfaithful based on just one trace.

She took a deep breath and decided to put aside her doubts for the time being and give each other a chance.

"Okay, I believe you. But I hope this is the last time. I don't want any concealment or suspicion between us."

Although Jiang Ning's voice was calm, her heart was still turbulent.

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He held Jiang Ning's hand tightly and said solemnly:

"I promise you. From now on, no matter good or bad, I will be honest with you. Our relationship is built on trust and I will not let it be harmed in any way."

The two men's eyes met. Although the misunderstanding was temporarily resolved, the thorn in Jiang Ning's heart was not completely eliminated.

She knew that it would take time and more communication to completely eliminate doubts.

Gu Yuan also understood that he had to prove his loyalty and love through actions in order to regain Jiang Ning's full trust.
