Chapter 40: A Glimmer of Light (4)

His questions and inquiring gaze made me feel a little guilty.

I subconsciously raised my hand to brush the hair in front of my forehead, which eased my embarrassment.

"Didn't Qichen come back last night? Why didn't you meet him?"

Liang Haoran raised his chin at me with a slight doubt, and his eyes finally fell on Gu Qichen.

One question, the words easily encompassed two people.

"...... then, I went back early last night!" I replied weakly.

"Oh, yes? But I've checked the access control system, and you seem to have left with your card at five o'clock in the morning, is it a malfunction?

It's really big now, and I finally got a taste of what it means to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot.

"That ......" I continued to play dumb. "I accidentally fell asleep while working overtime,...... The access control shouldn't be broken!" I looked at Liang Haoran embarrassedly, and then peeked at the person on the sofa.

The sun shone through the blinds on the coffee table next to him, and the soft light sprinkled on his face, and the skin of his face was strangely radiant in the sunlight.

In a trance, I seemed to see him tugging the corners of his mouth, and when I looked at it again, it was still the same cold and resolute side face, and the whole person was still sitting there like a sculpture. Could it be my delusion?

"Every time you work overtime so late, doesn't your boyfriend complain? I heard Xu Zhu say that you love each other very much to the point of talking about marriage!"

Boyfriend?

I looked at him puzzled.

Suddenly, I remembered that when Xiao Pepper went on a blind date with him, Na Nizi seemed to have told Liang Haoran that I already had a boyfriend and was about to get married, so he died of this heart. This......

This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River.

How should I explain to him, but also in front of Gu Qichen?

Do you continue the lie, or tell him that Pepper is just joking with him? The former has no silver here for three hundred taels, and the latter betrays his friends, whatever, it is not good for me.

"Don't be nervous, I don't have any intention of snooping on your privacy. ”

How should I answer him? I glanced at Gu Qichen, and his face darkened a little.

Then his mouth was faster than his brain, and he blurted out: "Mr. Liang, your information is wrong!"

Such a clarification was something I had never expected, and I could feel my face dyed crimson!

"Oh! I see!" Liang Haoran seemed to suddenly realize, staring at my eyes and smiling: "Now, someone should not be able to sleep at night!" He paused and said: "Report to me after work so late, overtime work late at night must be calculated as triple salary, don't really become the object of exploitation by capitalists!" Although these words were said to me, his eyes were aimed at Gu Qichen.

"Good. I know! Mr. Liang doesn't have any other instructions, I'll go out and get busy first!"

"Go ahead! Also, the case of the Imperial Palace is stepping up. ”

"Okay! I'll try!" I raised the coffee in my hand, "Thanks!"

In the afternoon, I communicated with the owners, and they were very satisfied with my design, and repeatedly promised that the decoration of the new house of relatives and friends would also be introduced to the company.

It is worth mentioning that these customers were introduced by Sister Yang, who came to make trouble last time. Unexpectedly, she and I became friends.

I looked at the satisfied smiles on their faces, and my heart warmed.

That's why I studied design in the first place, I wanted to pile up the warmth bit by bit, as if I had experienced it myself, and that was the warmth of home that I longed for!
