In the evening, Gu Chen asked An Xiaoran: "Why don't you tell me, I will come forward to explain, and I can clear your suspicion." ”

He learned about this from Sister Pan, and called up the surveillance, he looked carefully for a while, but found that the mysterious man who was spread up and down the company was actually him.

As long as An Xiaoran said that he was the one who went in and out of the office with her that night, it would not cause so many contradictions, Gu Chen waited for her all afternoon, and as a result, An Xiaoran not only did not come to him, but also went home alone.

"Tell them, it's going to be more troublesome. ”

She doesn't want to be special, and she doesn't want everyone to think that she and Gu Chen have a close relationship, anyway, she is innocent, and the truth will come out one day.

"Your heart is so big. ”

I don't know why, she deliberately avoided the relationship with him, which made Gu Chen feel congested for a while. Although, he knew, she was right to do so. Just like keeping a distance from Lu Xingchuan, they should also keep a distance between them, so as to minimize the damage of the scandal.

However, he hoped that she could be willful, instead of taking a taxi by herself even when she went back to the villa.

This kind of self-consciousness makes people feel a little alienated.

The meal was made by Zhang's mother, who has decades of work experience in the presidential palace, and her skills are no worse than that of Steward Zhou. Gu Chen asked Steward Zhou to rest for a few days on the grounds that Tong Tong was about to take the exam, and Mama Zhang took care of the affairs of the villa.

Zhang's mother was already idle and panicked, and she was naturally overjoyed to be busy with some of her work.

After the scandal, An Xiaoran's mood has been very low, and seeing An Xiaoran's energetic appearance for work every day, her heart relaxed a little.

After eating, An Xiaoran continued to study jewelry in the room. It was only when she was really immersed in her work that she discovered that focusing on one thing can get so much joy. This kind of happiness is unprecedented, although it is exhausting, but every time it finds a breakthrough, it is a reward, which makes An Xiaoran feel a sense of accomplishment.

She drew a sketch and felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, so she threw it on the ground and drew the next one. In a few moments, the whole room was filled with her magnum opus.

The structure of jewelry is nothing more than metal and gemstones, An Xiaoran has found the best fit for the combination of the two, but it is too simple, she wants to add more elements, it seems very draggy, and the overall shape is not very pleasing to the eye.

After many attempts, but failed to find a breakthrough, An Xiaoran lay on the bed in despair, frantic and crazy.

"Ahh

The pig-like howl next door made the corners of Gu Chen's lips hook again. Several times, several CEOs in the video conference were talking about very serious things, and when they raised their eyes and saw Gu Chen laughing, they thought that they had said something wrong, and they were so frightened that they were silent.

In fact, Gu Chen didn't notice their apprehension, he looked at the data in his eyes, and his brain was already dominated by An Xiaoran's dramatic voice.

Drawing design drawings can make such a big move, but she really has her ......

Late at night, Gu Chen stretched his tired waist, An Xiaoran stopped, and when he walked over, he found that she was lying on the floor and sleeping sweetly.

On the ground, one drawing after another was thrown there scattered, Gu Chen squatted down, picked up a drawing and looked at it carefully, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of approval.

I really didn't expect that in just a few days, her ideas could be so mature. Although it is not yet at the level of delivery, it can be seen that her idea is very bold and she is trying to integrate it with reality.

This link is also the most headache for all designers. When there is a conflict between their own concept and the budget of the product, they have to choose to change their design to suit the price. In this way, many of the first good ideas cannot be fully expressed.

Especially for jewelry, the slightest difference can fluctuate up and down by thousands or even tens of thousands, and the design of jewelry needs to be carefully calculated to meet the standard.

This is very difficult for a mature designer, not to mention a newcomer like An Xiaoran, who has never done anything in design, and the difficulty has increased exponentially.

Probably too tired, An Xiaoran slept very deeply, and didn't notice Gu Chen's arrival at all. Gu Chen stared at her for a long time, the saliva at the corners of her mouth flowed to the floor, and she really didn't dare to compliment her sleep.

He rubbed over and picked her up gently, An Xiaoran moved uneasily in his arms, maybe the floor was too cold, and suddenly fell into a warm place, she felt so comfortable, she didn't want to wake up at all.

Gu Chen's movements paused, making sure that he would not wake her up, so he picked her up and gently put her on the bed.

After covering the quilt for her, Gu Chen turned off the air conditioner, bent down and helped her sort out the drawings one by one, put them in a folder, and did all this before Gu Chen turned off the light in the room.

He was afraid of waking An Xiaoran, so he focused all his attention on his movements, and he didn't notice Mama Zhang, who had been standing in front of the door for a long time. When Gu Chen was about to leave the room, she saw Zhang's mother in the dark, and she looked at what Gu Chen did for An Xiaoran with a smile, and her heart was moved for a long time.

Closing the door, Gu Chen asked Zhang's mother: "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet." ”

"Mr. Gu, if you're not busy, Mama Zhang wants to talk to you. ”

"You're so polite, if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

"Mother Zhang knows that it is inappropriate to talk to you about this issue in my capacity. However, I grew up watching Xiao Ran, and her mother is not here, so I will inevitably have to ask a few more questions......"

Zhang's mother was serious, and Gu Chen had already guessed what she was going to ask.

"Are you worried about my relationship with Xiao Ran?"

Zhang's mother nodded, and said without hesitation: "Zhang's mother wants to know, Mr. Gu, what kind of feelings do you have for Xiao Ran?"

“……”

Gu Chen had no way to answer her, in fact, he didn't know much about it.

On the one hand, he has an extraordinary dependence on her, and he feels very comfortable with An Xiaoran, and when he sees her approaching Lu Xingchuan, he will also lose control of his emotions. On the other hand, he didn't dare to approach her, and he couldn't trust her absolutely until he was sure of her relationship with that side.

This kind of contradictory and complicated feelings makes him very uncomfortable.

"Mama Zhang is old, and sometimes you young people can't understand the avant-garde ideas deeply. But Zhang's mother knows one thing, no matter what era it is, it is the same truth - you should be sincere when dealing with feelings. ”

"Xiao Ran, this child, has no thoughts, and her temper is also strong, and she will do everything she thinks about to the end. Such a character, in today's complex society, will definitely suffer. Before leaving the presidential palace, she and Mr. Lu already had a marriage contract, they were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship has always been very good, and everyone thought that they would go to the end. The Lu family was full of joy to prepare for their marriage, and even the dowry was allowed to be sent to the door. ”

Hearing about An Xiaoran and Lu Xingchuan, Gu Chen subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Later, you should also know about Xiao Ran's parents. Xiao Ran thought that she would marry into the Lu family, so she had a big trouble with the president, she decided to go to live with her wife in the Lu family, and the Lu family agreed. Originally, everything was fine, but what Cheng thought, Mr. Lu suddenly disappeared, the Lu family avoided it, and the Zhan family sat idly by, and Xiao Ran's marriage was gone. Xiao Ran fell seriously ill because of this, and almost died. ”

At that time, the current lady had already lived in the presidential palace, and it was impossible for Xiao Ran to live under the same roof with her, so he left with his wife. She has never experienced storms since she was a child, and she has just graduated and wandered alone, and her wife is sick again......"

Mama Zhang's voice trembled as she spoke.

"Mother Zhang said this, not for anything else, but to tell Mr. Gu that she met you for money, but her essence is not like that, she is really cornered......"

"On the day of the press conference, I believe that Xiao Ran must have been framed. She may still have Mr. Lu's good in her heart, but Mr. Lu abandoned her when Xiao Ran needed her the most, with Xiao Ran's character, she will never be with him again, this Mama Zhang can assure you!"

Gu Chen nodded lightly: "I know, I know she is innocent." ”

He can understand the sadness of An Xiaoran after being abandoned, and he has also experienced it. If he wanted to be with that woman again, he would never agree to it. He understands the contradiction of wanting to get close, but never being able to get close.

"Xiao Ran found a job and found himself again, I am relieved, this is all the credit of Mr. Gu, it can be seen that you also treat Xiao Ran sincerely. She paused, and then asked cautiously: "It's just that Mother Zhang wants to know, Mr. Gu, will you really have a relationship with Xiao Ran?"

Mother Zhang finally asked the most tangled question in Gu Chen's heart, he nodded, and shook his head again: "I don't know." ”

"Why?" Zhang's mother was puzzled: "You are very different from Xiao Ran, and it has far exceeded your superficial relationship. Zhang's mother is a person who has come over and knows that feelings are not easy to come by. Meeting someone who is a perfect fit for you is a lifelong blessing. If you like Xiao Ran, you might as well accept her sincerely, and maybe, there will be a different ending. ”

"I ......"

Gu Chen wanted to say that he really liked An Xiaoran very much, but he couldn't really communicate. But in this way, in the eyes of people of Zhang's mother's age, it is extremely irresponsible, and if he says it, it will definitely leave a bad impression on her.

"Of course, if you don't like it that much, please ask Mr. Gu to dilute this relationship. What you do to Xiao Ran, she will have a misunderstanding, and Zhang's mother is worried that one day she will not be able to extricate herself, and she will endure the pain she once had again, in that case, she will not be able to resist it......"

What Zhang's mother meant, Gu Chen already knew by heart.

To put it bluntly, he is telling him to be serious if he likes it, and don't be ambiguous if he doesn't like it.

He likes it, he doesn't deny it, and he doesn't care about being serious, but what he is most afraid of is that she is not serious......

"I know, don't worry, Mom Zhang, I will handle our problems carefully. ”

Zhang's mother sighed, she knew that today's purpose had been achieved.

"Don't blame Zhang's mother for nagging, I have been in the presidential palace all my life, and I have seen countless people's feelings, so I will be more transparent than ordinary people when I encounter things. Zhang's mother is caring about Xiao Ran, and she is also caring about you, if you miss it, a lifetime will pass, but how long can a person's life be......?

Gu Chen stood straight, like a child who was humbly taught.

"You're talking about ......"

"Okay, it's not early, you should rest early. ”

Seeing Zhang's mother go downstairs, Gu Chen returned to the room, but his mood couldn't be calm for a long time.

If you miss it, it's a lifetime......

He was used to An Xiaoran's existence, and he had no way to imagine what it would be like for her to disappear into his world.
