Gu Xia knew why he was angry, felt somewhat guilty, and said in a low voice, "I don't want you to pull strings for me, you're at a crucial moment for promotion. Everyone knows that your department's boss is about to retire, and all you need to do is stay steady and you'll definitely get promoted by the end of the year. I don't want you to have any black marks because of me, which could lead to criticism later."
"When did you start being so formal with me?"
Gu Xia: ...
"Is it because you married Yu Xiuli? Xiao Xia... you shouldn't be so distant with me." Lu You sighed slightly.
She wanted to get angry, but ultimately she didn't have the heart to yell at him, and her voice softened.
"Old Lu... I... "
"Xiao Xia, do you think, between getting promoted and making money and your matters, which is more important to me? Am I, Lu You, such a person who covets wealth and a future?"
Gu Xia: ...
Such a heavy topic, it wasn't like their usual interactions.
