Chapter 9: The Fiancée
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ran returned to the company, his eyes looked at Chu Lingxi's desk, and he saw that Chu Lingxi was in a daze at this time.
Gu Ran coughed lightly, Chu Lingxi came back to her senses suddenly, and when she saw Gu Ran, she immediately stood up
"President, you're back"
Gu Ran said "um" and said, "Is there something wrong with the company?" ”
Chu Lingxi shook his head, "It's nothing, but someone called you just now?" ”
Gu Ran looked at her, "Oh, who is it?" ”
Chu Lingxi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a young lady named Anna, who said it was your fiancée, she said that she was looking for you for something, so let you call her back."
Gu Ran frowned, "Fiancée? What did she say herself? Chu Lingxi nodded
"Well, I see" said and walked straight to the office, his face cold and scary
Gu Ran took out his mobile phone, dialed a number that he hated very much, and after beeping twice, the other party answered
"Hey! Of course, you finally called me, and I want to kill you."
Gu Ran said coldly, "What's the matter with the call?" ”
Gu Ran didn't pay attention to her words, but went straight to the point, and when Anna heard Gu Ran say this, she could only say things obediently
"Yes, that's the case, tomorrow is my birthday, and my dad and Uncle Gu want to announce the news of our engagement at my birthday party!"
Gu Ran's face became even more gloomy, "Engaged? ”
"Yes, yes, you don't know, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and now it's finally going to happen, I'm so happy"
Gu Ran listened to Anna's words, hung up the phone angrily, and slammed the phone on the table casually, making a crisp sound.
Gu Ran was very angry now, the old man didn't even discuss it with him, and directly decided such a big matter as an engagement for him.
He walked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and at this time, there was a knock on the door in the office, and Gu Ran said reluctantly
"Enter"
Chu Lingxi heard Gu Ran's almost roaring voice, and the hand holding the coffee cup trembled a little, and then walked in, Gu Ran saw that it was Chu Lingxi, and the anger on his face decreased slightly
"President, I'll bring you coffee"
Gu Ran only said "Let it go"
Chu Lingxi was about to put the coffee on the table, and just raised her foot and walked to the desk, when suddenly the soles of her feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the coffee in her hand overflowed to her hands because of the shaking of her body, Chu Lingxi felt a pain in her hand, and the coffee cup fell heavily to the ground with her.
"Ah," Chu Lingxi screamed
Gu Ran was facing away from her at the time, so he didn't see this scene just now, when he heard her scream and the crisp sound of the coffee cup, he turned around and saw that she was already lying on the ground, Gu Ran hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and asked anxiously
"Is there anything wrong? Can't you even walk? ”
He looked down and saw that her back was red from the coffee, and he felt an inexplicable distress in his heart, "It's all red!" Does it hurt?" Chu Lingxi was stunned
Gu Ran pulled up the back of Chu Lingxi's injured hand and put it to his mouth, and blew it gently, Chu Lingxi felt the cool feeling coming from the back of his hand, which was very comfortable.
She looked at the man in front of her, gently helped her blow the wound on her hand, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Neither of them knew how ambiguous they were now, like a little couple with a boy healing a girl's injured hand
Chu Lingxi was helped up by Gu Ran, looking at Gu Ran's anxious appearance just now, a warm current spread in his heart, and he even forgot the pain in his hand
"Thank you" Chu Lingxi didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say thank you
Gu Ran looked at her cheeks flushed slightly, and he also knew that his actions just now made her feel embarrassed.
But Gu Ran's heart was very happy, and the original anger no longer existed because of this little episode just now.
Gu Ran said to her, "Today's after-work thing is canceled, you can go home directly after work, and then go to the pharmacy to buy some burn ointment and apply it"
Chu Lingxi listened to Gu Ran's words and smiled at him, "Okay!" Then I'll clean up this place first."
"You go out first, just let the cleaning take care of it in a while."
Chu Lingxi was stunned, then nodded again, turned around and walked out of the office.
Gu Ran sat on the sofa thoughtfully, he was thinking about how to go back and negotiate with the old man about his marriage with Anna after work.
When it was time to get off work, after Chu Lingxi packed up the things on the table, he took his bag and went downstairs, because Gu Ran had already left when he was about to get off work.
She came to the design department and saw that Lan Ling had not left yet, "Lingling, we can go back together"
Lan Ling saw Chu Lingxi and said unexpectedly, "Didn't you say that you had something to do with the president at noon?"
She saw the injury on Chu Lingxi's hand and asked, "How did you get your hand?" ”
"The president said that the after-work thing was canceled by him, so I was fine, my hand was accidentally burned while making coffee in the afternoon, and it was fine"
Lan Ling looked at her and said, "Why are you so careless?" Let's go to the pharmacy and buy a burn cream in a while, it doesn't seem to be at home."
Chu Lingxi nodded, and after Lan Ling packed up her things, the two of them walked out of the Gu Group's building.
After Gu Ran came out of the company, he drove directly to the Gu family's old house, and the housekeeper saw Gu Ran's car driving in and said to Old Man Gu
"Master, the second young master is back"
Old man Gu was reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room at this time, and when he heard the housekeeper's words, he put the newspaper in his hand aside, and when Gu Ran came in, he saw Old Man Gu sitting on the sofa, and he opened his mouth and said, "Dad"
The old man looked at him, "Well, I'm back, I just have something to tell you, come and sit."
Gu Ran walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, "I discussed with your Uncle An two days ago, and I wanted to announce your engagement at Anna's birthday party."
Gu Ran said unhappily, "Have you discussed?" But that doesn't mean my own wishes, I'm not going to get engaged to Anna."
Old Man Gu was very surprised and Gu Ran reflected, "The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker have all been decided, and they will not change"
Gu Ran's face was also ugly, "Then we don't need to discuss, if you decide to do so, don't blame me for doing anything at that time."
Old Man Gu didn't expect Gu Ran's attitude to be so tough, he knew Gu Ran's temper, if he didn't want to do something, it would be useless for anyone to say it, Old Man Gu said in a different tone
"Why are you so unwilling, Anna is a good girl, and your Uncle An is only her daughter, if you are with her, then the Gu An family will become one in the future, which is good for both of our families!"
Gu Ran sneered and said, "Heh! After talking for a long time, you just said the point, in short, I will not marry a woman I don't like" Gu Ran's attitude was very clear
Old Man Gu was also angry, "You said you don't marry a woman you don't like, so where is the woman you like?" At the beginning, Yang Xiaorou left without a sound, making you look half-dead, is this the woman you like? ”
Gu Ran was angered by Old Man Gu's words, "I said, don't put Yang Xiaorou's name in front of me"
"Tomorrow Anna's birthday party, I will take her to my female companion"
Old Man Gu was stunned and said, "She? Is it the woman you like right now? ”
"Yes, so! I'll take her to you then."
