Chapter 43: The Childish Man I
"Bell bell bellโ"
The phone rang, Chang An took it back, took out the phone and took a look, the caller ID was Ji Li, and he quickly picked it up.
"Hey, Brother Muzi. โ
"What are you doing?" Ji Li asked her, his voice was lazy, but he could hear that he was quite happy. Before Chang An could answer, he heard him say again: "It's been a long time before I answered the phone." โ
Chang An replied with a smile: "I just finished eating, I packed up my clothes." โ
Ji Li glanced at his watch, it was not early, "Eat so late?"
"Hmm...... Today is an exception......"
"With whom?"
He just asked casually, but Chang An still replied seriously: "Gu Li." โ
While replying, even she didn't notice herself, her eyes involuntarily glanced at the teacup on the coffee table again, and there was a deep smile in her eyes.
"Well, it's nine o'clock, and he's still at your house......? It won't be ...... It's okay, right?" Ji Li asked half-jokingly, directly and full of gossip, and even the pause in the middle was quite meaningful.
"Uh...... Where do you want to go? A higher creature like a great god is too far away for a mortal like me to covet. Chang An immediately interrupted his thoughts, and after a little explanation, he quickly changed the topic: "What's the matter with me?"
"You just came to Y City, and you have moved to a new house, and you plan to celebrate in your spare time. Ji Li replied solemnly.
"Thank you, Brother Muzi. But don't bother. Chang An politely declined his request.
โ......โ
There was no reply from the other side, and he was silent for a while before he said in a low voice: "Don't give face?" There was a slight loss in his tone.
Chang An could hear that Ji Li's smile faded when he spoke, and in order not to make the other party sad, she was invited by Ji Li next time.
She was afraid that Ji Li would break the fee, so she politely refused, but now the other party insisted, if he shirked it again, he was afraid that he would be even more unhappy, so after thinking about it, she said: "Okay." โ
The moment he heard Chang An's promise, Ji Li smiled with relief, but before the sentence "I'll arrange" was spoken, he heard Chang An say: "You set the time, I'll pick the place, you just have to bring your wallet." โ
"Good. Hearing this, Ji Li nodded with a smile, and then asked, "When are you free?"
Chang An thought about it, Y City has been stable and peaceful recently, and Gu Li rarely takes the initiative to look for her, of course, yesterday was an accident, so she said: "You should be free recently, see when it is convenient for you." โ
Ji Li's thin lips opened lightly, and he asked tentatively: "That...... Tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll pick and choose later, and I'll send you a message somewhere in a while. โ
After chatting about business, the two of them chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Chang An glanced at the time, it was really not early, quickly packed up his clothes, took a hot shower, got into the quilt, found a nearby restaurant, the score was quite high, and after sending him the address, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
That night of restful sleep, and by the time Chang An opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and opened the curtains, and the sunlight fell on her through the window, warm.
She stretched and went into the bathroom to wash, brushing her teeth and yawning, as if she hadn't woken up. When she came out of the bathroom, she happened to hear the doorbell ring.
Chang An opened the door, and the word "who-" disappeared into the air before he could say anything. Chang An didn't expect that at noon the next day, Gu Li would come to the door again.
The noon sun was just right, clean and gentle, and the warm sunlight fell on him, making him a little less cold, and the whole person looked a lot softer.
He stood in the sun, his long body casting a long shadow, the appearance of a suit and leather shoes, red lips and white teeth, clear and handsome.
Chang An froze, his eyes fell directly on him, only to see him glance up and down at himself, and then he heard him say, "Raunchy." โ
Chang An glanced at him, "What are you doing?"
"Meal time. Gu Li's answer was simple and simple, and he didn't wait for Chang An to invite him into the house, so he took the lead in stepping in.
"I'm not available today. Chang An replied lightly.
It's not that she's angry, but she made an appointment with Ji Li yesterday, and she really has something to do today, so she can't cook for him.
"What's the matter?" Gu Li turned his head and looked at her.
"You want to care?"
I don't know if Chang An is familiar with him, and now he is a lot harder to speak.
"According to Article 28 of the contract we signed, the assistant needs to be on call 24 hours a day, and when something happens, he needs to report to Party A, that is, me. So, I have the right to know your itinerary. โ
Chang An was embarrassed, and he actually used the agreement to pressure her. That was the contract she drew up when she was officially his assistant, and there was a lot of content written in black and white, and she just took a cursory look at it at that time and signed the contract.
But...... How did she remember that there were only 27 clauses in the contract? Where did this clause come from? So she asked angrily, "How can there be this clause in the contract?"
"Just added. Gu Li replied very calmly, "At the end of the contract, it is written that 'the final interpretation right belongs to Party A, and Party A has the right to reasonably add or delete contract regulations.'" โโ
"You ......" Chang An was dumbfounded, and just when he wanted to say something, the phone rang.
Chang An picked it up, it was Ji Li calling, "You're here?" The tone was changed in a second, which was completely different from the way he spoke to Gu Li.
"Hmm. โ
"Okay, I'll come down right away. โ
Chang An hung up the phone, his face that was smiling just now instantly became expressionless, he glanced at Gu Li with squinted eyes, turned around, went to the bedroom, and changed into a pair of pajamas.
When she came out again, Gu Li was still standing in the living room, and she had no intention of leaving.
"I'm going out. Chang An walked to the door and shouted inside.
Gu Li walked out, and as soon as the door closed, Chang An walked to the elevator by himself and waited for the elevator to go downstairs.
"The important thing you said was to have dinner with Ji Li?" Gu Li's voice rang in her ears.
"Can't?" Chang An raised his head to look at him, paused for a few seconds and continued, "The treaty doesn't say that you can't eat with others. โ
With that, the elevator door opened, and Chang An walked in. Before closing the door, Gu Li also came in.
"What are you doing?" Chang An asked.
Gu Li replied: "Eat." โ
Chang An no longer cared about him, and the two of them were silent one after the other.
When she walked to a restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River, Chang An stopped, and she found that Gu Li also walked in, "Why are you following me?"
"I can't eat if you and your little lover can only eat?" Gu Li's tone of voice was sour.
"Childish. Chang An rolled his eyes and walked in. She looked around, but she didn't see Ji Li's figure. After all, it's the time of the meal, and there are a lot of people coming to eat.
Chang An was about to take out his mobile phone to call him, when he heard his voice behind him: "Chang An, here." โ
Chang An turned around, and Ji Li was standing there, waving at her.
Chang An approached with a smile and said with a slight apology: "I'm sorry, I'm late." โ
"It's okay, I've just arrived. Ji Li also had a warm smile. As she spoke, she leaned down, half-bent down very gentlemanly, pulled out a chair for her, and asked Chang An to sit down.
When he straightened up, there was a tall figure standing in front of him, his eyes touched, Ji Li was startled at first, and then greeted him with a polite smile, "Professor Gu, are you also coming to dinner?"
Gu Li continued his always cold style, and did not reply directly to Ji Li, but just stood there, looking at Chang An.
"Professor Gu, if you don't mind, just sit down and ...... with us."
Before Ji Li could finish speaking, Gu Li sat down and said slowly: "I don't mind." โ
Ji Li was originally polite, who would have thought ...... He could only smile awkwardly and sit down.
As a result, what was originally a lunch for two people is now three people.
