Under the orange light, his handsome face rarely carried a little childishness, Gu Shi'an withdrew his gaze and said casually: "Not bad." ”

She didn't look at Chen Xiao again, and went back to the living room after speaking.

Chen Xiao finished eating all the instant noodles, and then returned to the living room lazily with satisfaction.

The living room was so quiet that only the sound of the TV came out. Chen Xiao looked at Gu Shi'an, who was sitting on the side, and somehow, suddenly remembered her before.

Before she confessed, if the two stayed together, there would hardly be such a quiet time. Most of the time she was talking.

She was originally a person who didn't talk much, and her flattery to him was jerky and clumsy. She thought he didn't know, but in fact, he did. Just pretending not to know.

Many pictures from before came to mind, and Chen Xiao's chest was a little stuffy and painful, and he withdrew his gaze. He made a casual look and asked, "Have you been to see grandma recently?" ”

After the two left that night, Gu Shi'an never went to see the old lady again, and when she heard Chen Xiao's words, she shook her head and said no.

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and after a while, he spoke: "Aunt Ye will go to the old mansion for dinner next weekend." ”

Gu Shi'an looked up at him, Chen Xiao looked away, took out a cigarette to light it, and said, "Next weekend is grandma's birthday." ”

Yes, this is the old lady's first birthday after she passed away. In the past, on this day every year, everyone had to reunite at the old house.

When the old lady was mentioned, the atmosphere became a little heavy. Gu Shi'an responded in a low voice.

The atmosphere was silent like this, so it was undoubtedly a little embarrassing to sit so Gu Shi'an sat for a while and then went back to the bedroom. Leaving Chen Xiao alone in the living room.

Lying on the bed, Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep. After thinking about many things in my mind, I remembered the unfamiliar face that the man described today as she had drawn.

She was slightly stunned. Chang Yan is optimistic, but she is clear that Lincheng is so big, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, where is it so easy.

She closed her eyes tightly.

I slept late at night, and it was already late when Gu Shi'an went to the company. As soon as she arrived at the door of the company, she saw Gu Su getting out of the car.

Gu Su put on a big heavy makeup and put on a small suit. When he saw her, he narrowed his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "It's really a coincidence." After a slight pause, she looked at the time and said, "As far as I know, it seems to be late now." ”

Gu Shi'anli didn't want to pay attention to her, glanced at her, and didn't speak.

Gu Su didn't let go of her lateness, his chin raised, and asked, "You've been here for so long, how are you doing?" ”

She looks like she's smiling but not smiling. I must know Gu Shi'an's current situation very well.

Although her life was not as sad as expected, it was not easy. Her status here is undoubtedly embarrassing, and almost no one will take the initiative to talk to her. Even when she goes to the cafeteria to eat, she is often the only one.

"TOEFL, it's okay." She replied lightly.

The two of them said that they had entered the hall, and the corners of Gu Su's mouth hooked up a weird smile, and he stopped looking at her and walked away in high heels.

Although Gu Shi'an didn't see the weird smile on the corner of her mouth, he knew that she wouldn't ask these questions for no reason.

My heart sank involuntarily and walked quickly to the office.

Sister Du had already arrived when she arrived, and she had to be busy with a lot of things today. She has a lot of complaints about her late arrival, but she doesn't say it explicitly. Throw a stack of documents to her and go about your own business.

Gu Su didn't know what moths would come out, and Gu Shi'an was a little absent-minded all day.

Later, after the things at hand were done, she asked about the resignation of Sister Du's company.

Sister Du replied vaguely now, saying that it was okay before, but she has left a lot of jobs in the past two years. The top of the company was also poached a lot. Even the assistants around Mr. Gu left a few times.

Gu Shi'an's heart sank, although the man's face was unfamiliar. But the only people who want her life are these people from the Gu family. The people around them have gone a few times, so it is difficult to find out.

The best way is to take out that portrait and find the old employees here to recognize it. But this move will undoubtedly surprise the snake.

Until he got off work, Gu Shi'an didn't come up with a good way. Chang Yan didn't have any news over there, so she called Gu Shi'an and asked her to let the recruitment matter go first, and she would let people check it. asked Gu Shi'an about the archives and asked her when it would be more appropriate to come over.

Gu Shi'an didn't have the time to go to the small building today, and he didn't know when the door would close. Now that she is off work, it is obviously impossible for her to go to investigate. Everyone walks out after work, but she walks in, which is easy to arouse suspicion.

She said slowly. The chances of Chang Yin coming over and being found are much greater than that of her alone. She was going to take a look at it by herself.

Chang Yan didn't suspect anything, only said that she had picked a good time to tell her.

Gu Shi'an responded with a hello. She remembered that Chen Xiao appeared at the door of the restaurant last night, paused slightly, and still asked Chang Yan: "Last night, how did Chen Xiao know that we were over there?" ”

Chang Yan was not surprised at all when she asked about this, and was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before he spoke, "He made that person speak." ”

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now. Since he made the man speak, he obviously knew about her past.

It took dozens of seconds for her to squeeze out a smile. Changed the subject, said a few other words, and then hung up the phone.

After work, she was about to pack her things and leave, when she received a call from Chen Xiao. said that he was on the side of the road at the opposite intersection and asked her to go straight after work.

He made a call on time today, and I don't know why he came in person. Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and simply responded with a good word.

Chen Xiao was still smoking in the car when she passed, and when he saw her, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and started the car.

The car drove directly into the parking lot, and then the two entered the elevator one after the other. Gu Shi'an's life here has not changed much, and he went to the kitchen to get food when he entered the door.

Chen Xiao's work should not have been dealt with yet, so he didn't come to make trouble now, and went to the study to deal with business. When the food was on the table, he sat down at the table without Gu Shi'an calling him.

The two of them still didn't talk much, most of them were Chen Xiao. Gu Shi'an just nodded or said a word or two.

When she had finished eating and cleaned up the kitchen, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Her little stomach was a little sore all day, and she didn't care about it until she changed her clothes, and she realized that it was a menstrual incident. This time it was three days early, so she had a stomachache and she didn't expect it to be a menstrual event.

It's a long time gone here. Gu Shi'an was embarrassed, so he had to grit his teeth and take a bath first.

She had been taking a bath for a long time, and her stomach hurt out of control. She reached out and rubbed her stomach vigorously.

There is no use here, and it is undoubtedly embarrassing to go out. She didn't think of a good way for a while, so she kept rubbing in the bathroom.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the bathroom door. Chen Xiao outside the door shouted tentatively: "Gu Shi'an? ”

Gu Shi'an bit his lip, but he still mumbled sullenly.

Chen Xiao probably heard that something was wrong with her voice, and asked outside, "Have you washed it?" ”

These words were unspeakable, and Gu Shi'an said sullenly: "Wash it, and I'll come out in a while." ”

Although she said that she would go out in a while, she squatted and did not move.

The footsteps of Chen Xiao outside did not go away, and he was probably still standing at the door. Then she said, "Come out right away." ”

Chen Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, and asked tentatively, "Uncomfortable?" ”

I don't know what he means by this uncomfortable sentence, Gu Shi'an responded vaguely at this time.

Chen Xiao, who was outside, coughed and said, "Don't move, I'll go out and come back in a while." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to speak, and the footsteps went outside. Soon the sound of the door closing.

He came back after only ten minutes of going out, knocked on the door outside, and pushed the paper towel through the crack in the door.

What he bought was really what Gu Shi'an wanted to use, her face was hot, and she rubbed over and picked up the things. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that Chen Xiao had left a long time ago, but who knew that when she opened the door, he was standing outside. Gu Shi'an's face was hot, he didn't look at her, turned off the bathroom light and walked into the living room with his head down.

Chen Xiao followed behind her and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?" ”

He didn't mean to make fun of what he said, but Gu Shi'an's face was even hotter, and he vaguely replied that it was okay, and went to the bedroom as if he was running away.

Her stomach was upset, she couldn't sleep, curled up and closed her eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the bedroom door suddenly opened. At this time, the person who came in would only die, and she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead motionless.

Chen Xiao quickly walked to the edge of the bed, as if he knew that she hadn't slept, coughed and said, "Boiled brown sugar poached eggs, get up and eat and then sleep." After a slight pause, he continued: "After eating, my stomach will not hurt." ”

I don't know who told him that after eating brown sugar poached eggs, his stomach won't hurt.

Gu Shi'an didn't move, still closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.

She pretended not to hear, and Chen Xiao didn't leave, just standing at the head of the bed. He kept looking at Gu Shi'an, where he could still lie down, and got up silently.

Chen Xiao handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand.

Where he boiled the brown sugar poached eggs, although they were not completely turned into egg flowers, but the eggs were broken and cracked. Seeing Gu Shi'an looking at the eggs in the bowl, he was a little uncomfortable, coughed dryly, and said, "Although it is broken, the effect is the same." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, took the egg and ate it. Her stomach often hurts during menstruation, and when the pain is severe, her face is pale, and she doesn't want to get up again when she sits in one place. Chen Xiao didn't know it, but his memory, this was the first time he got him to eat.

She was slightly in a trance.

Chen Xiao didn't notice anything unusual about her, and soon went out again. When he came in again, he didn't know where to turn out a warm baby, put it directly in the quilt, and said, "Hold it, it'll be fine for a while." ”

He had never asked about such things before, but now he was very considerate. This considerate Gu Shi'an is not very comfortable, and whispered thank you.

Chen Xiao took the dishes and chopsticks from her hand, but he didn't straighten up immediately, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you quite moved?" ”

He has the ability to change the atmosphere in a minute, and the smile on his face is not very twitching.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to make himself look as if nothing had happened, and said, "I am very moved, thank you." ”

There was no sincerity in her words.

Chen Xiao didn't mind, chuckled, and went out with the dishes and chopsticks.

I don't know if it's because of the warm baby or because of drinking brown sugar water, the pain seems to be relieved.

Gu Shi'an didn't lie down, just sat like that. After sitting for a while, she was about to turn off the light, when she saw Chen Xiao walk in with a notebook and a small table.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he wanted to do, and looked at him.

Chen Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "I just ate, don't be in a hurry to sleep, be careful of accumulating food." Recently, a new movie was released, and I found one to watch together. ”

He said as he put the small table on the bed and turned on the computer. Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep and didn't say anything.

Chen Xiao quickly put the movie away, and as soon as Gu Shi'an's eyes stayed on the screen, he sat down on the bed himself.

Gu Shi'an didn't think that he would go to bed, and looked at him sideways. Chen Xiao looked casual and said, "It's better to lean on the bed." He chuckled, then said, "Besides, I can't do anything like this." ”

He looked innocent.

His face is very thick-skinned, Gu Shi'an endured and endured, and ignored him. Chen Xiao looked like he was really watching the movie seriously, he didn't move, and his eyes stayed on the screen.

He didn't completely choose the film according to his own taste, this time he chose a suspenseful and funny costume drama.

It's not a pure spoof like a general comedy, and the logic is very clear. Gu Shi'an looked at it and fell in.

Attention is distracted, and if you don't move, you can barely feel pain in your stomach. The movie is a bit long, and she doesn't even know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Chen Xiao was lying on the bed, with one hand still on her stomach.

He didn't know if he had woken up a long time ago or what, Gu Shi'an opened his eyes at the same time that he also opened his eyes.

He looked frank, chuckled, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Good morning, daughter-in-law." ”

Probably afraid of being kicked out of bed, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to answer after saying this, and left lazily with a yawn. It's like it's really just a late movie, so I'm spending a bowl here.

There seemed to be the warmth of his dry and warm palms left on his waist. Gu Shi'an did not speak with a dark face.

It's the weekend, so I don't have to go to work. She didn't have many clothes left here, so she had to go back to the old house to get them.

The weather outside was gloomy, and before she could go out, it began to drizzle outside. She didn't want to move when the menstrual event came, so she dispelled the idea of going out.

Chen Xiao, who was planning to rest for a whole day, answered the phone temporarily and asked her if she needed to bring anything back and went out.

Gu Shi'an got the food himself, and logged in to her mailbox with Chen Xiao's computer. She hadn't been in her mailbox for a long time, but there were several new documents in it. probably thought that she was still working in the original company, saying that she had relatives to decorate and ask her about some details.

Gu Shi'an answered one by one, and replied that he had resigned.

Turning off the computer, she was a little empty. She leaned back on the couch with her eyes closed, remembering the strange portrait again.

Hanging this portrait in the Gu clan is undoubtedly the fastest way. But that's not going to work at all.

Her brain ached, and she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows. At this moment, his mind suddenly remembered the person Qin Tang had arranged for the Gu clan.

She pursed her lips, looked at the time, took out her phone, and called the man.

The two of them had only met in a hurry at Gu's, and the person was polite, and when he picked up the phone, he called Miss Gu.

Gu Shi'an greeted him and asked him if he was free, she wanted to meet him.

Then the person over there said, "Just say something on the phone." I'm on a business trip right now. Although the two met in the Gu family, Gu Shi'an did not know his position in the Gu family.

As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, the man immediately said, "I'm here in City D." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded at this time, was silent for a moment, and asked, "How long have you been in the Gu family?" Do you remember people who left before? ”

The person on the other end of the phone sighed for a moment and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, most of the time I've been on a business trip, and I'm not particularly familiar with the people in the company." However, as long as you have been in the company, you can check it. Are you looking for someone? ”

He asked tentatively.

Gu Shi'an didn't make a detour, and answered yes. said: "I have a portrait here, you can help me see if this person used to serve in the Gu family." ”

The person on the other end of the phone answered with a good word and said, "You took a photo and sent it directly to me." It's just that I can't find it in the field now, and I'll check it again when I come back next Monday. ”

Gu Shi'an said thank you now. After a pause, he said: "It's just that I guess that the person should be in the Gu family, and if you can't find it, you don't have to force it." Try not to let anyone know. ”

The man said yes and reassured her. No one will know.

He didn't say much after speaking, saying that he would tell Gu Shi'an immediately if there was news, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an sat on the sofa for a long time, and then moved his eyes to the TV.

Chen Xiao didn't know what he was doing, and he never came back after he went out. Gu Shi'an had no appetite and didn't want to move, and he didn't go to get anything to eat at noon. Just snuggled up on the couch all the time.

She was absent-minded and in a trance, and she didn't even know what was on the TV.

Gu Shi'an received a call from the old lady in the afternoon, saying that she asked her and Chen Xiao to go back to dinner together tomorrow.

After all, she hadn't seen the old lady for so long. But because she entered the Gu family, she was weak-hearted. asked the old lady a few words, and when she saw that the old lady didn't mention her entry into the Gu family, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't plan to call Chen Xiao in the past, she originally wanted to tell the old lady Chen Xiao directly, but now directly saying that something is obviously suspicious. She vaguely told the old lady that she didn't know Chen Xiao's itinerary, but she would definitely go back tomorrow.

The old lady didn't say anything, but smiled and said yes.

She didn't plan to take Chen Xiao over, and Chen Xiao never mentioned it when she went back. Who knew that during dinner in the evening, Chen Xiao said slowly: "Grandma called me today, let the two of us go back to dinner together tomorrow." ”

The old lady actually called him, Gu Shi'an was a little depressed, and hummed sullenly.

She didn't mention it until now, obviously she didn't want him to go, Chen Xiao is a person, so she can naturally see it. He just raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything.

Because they were going to the old lady's side, the two of them got up as early as usual. The old lady was still resting early, and the two of them had breakfast before they passed.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the old lady just asked her and Chen Xiao to go over for dinner alone. But when I arrived, I realized that the old lady was not just them, but everyone in the Gu family had arrived.

Gu Shi'an had some bad premonitions at this time, and immediately looked sideways at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao motioned for her to be restless, smiled slightly and greeted her uncles one by one.

Seeing Chen Xiao and Gu Shi'an coming back together, everyone was more or less surprised. But no one said anything, and greeted Chen Xiao with a smile on his face. Instead, Gu Su handed Gu Shi'an a meaningful look.

Gu Shi'an's eyelids suddenly jumped a little, and he didn't care about her.

The old lady stayed in the room all the time, and it wasn't until Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao came over that she came out of the room.

Everyone stood up and said hello, and the old lady's face was almost the same as usual, and everyone sat down.

Everyone came together, and I don't know if the old lady asked them to come over or if they came by themselves.

Everyone is here, and the old lady is not in front of Gu Shi'an's filial piety. Her second aunt immediately greeted the old lady as soon as she sat down, hammered the old lady's back, and said, "Mom, you have also lived here for so long, and this place is deserted, not as lively as the old house." Don't live here, Chengde has been talking about taking you back for a long time. ”

She glanced at Gu Chengde as she spoke.

The couple had already cooperated very well, Gu Chengde didn't understand what she meant, and hurriedly said attentively: "Yes, yes, you will go back with us today." You're not in us, and all of us are not used to it. ”
