The expression on his face was rare and not gloomy at all, nor did he stubbornly call Gu Shi'an over, but asked, "Why didn't he call me when he came over?" ”

The relationship between him and Chen Zhengkang has long deteriorated, and he will not even greet each other, and he will not take the initiative to mention it in normal times.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask this, and he was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xiao didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "Gu Shi'an, you have to remember that I am your man, and you will call me if you have something in the future." ”

He stood by the window, and as he spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it, a little lazy.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance. Suddenly, I remembered Li Ran who I met at the entrance of the hospital, and the flowers in Chen Xiao's ward.

Chen Xiao didn't care about her after speaking, and went directly to the study.

Gu Shi'an sat in the living room for a long time before going to wash.

Lying on the bed, her mind was blank, and it took a long time for her to force herself to close her eyes.

Chen Xiao's company has been busy recently, and he went on a business trip the next day. Gu Shi'an remembered what Luo Ying said. In the end, I called Chen Xiao's assistant. Ask him to pay attention to his diet and remind him to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Her tone was polite, and Chen Xiao had never mentioned it before. The assistant was very respectful to the boss lady who suddenly appeared. But Chen Xiao's temper, what to do and what not to do, where he can manage. But I had to bite the bullet and come down.

Gu Shi'an is still busy, Chen Xiao is not there, she doesn't have to cook, she has added several shifts in a row.

Luo Yun has been in the limelight in the company recently, and she has always praised her in public at several regular meetings, so that everyone can learn more from her.

She's pretty good. After Mr. Yang's contract, he took two big orders again. Listening to the song always means that she will be promoted when the year is over.

Her promotion is envious and jealous.

She has never been low-key since she won the contract from Mr. Yang's side, but she is very good at connecting people, and often invites colleagues from the company to afternoon tea or give some small gifts.

She pretends to be generous to others, but she is very harsh to Shu Min. When Xiao Wang went to make coffee twice in a row, he saw Shu Min's eyes red. When I asked, I found out that it was because the coffee failed to be brewed to Luo Yun's mind, and she scolded her. Before this position was promoted, the score of her leadership began to be put up.

Xiao Wang was indignant, but there was no way to do it either. Shu Min is a newcomer, and the internship period has not yet passed, so it is not easy to transfer to the department. only comforted Xiao Wang in private.

Luo Yun was in the limelight, and when she saw Gu Shi'an before, she was smiling and calling Senior Sister Gu. Although I still smile, I always feel that something is wrong.

Although Gu Shi'an's face was the same as before, he reminded Xiao Wang in private. Seeing Luo Yun stay away.

She always felt that Luo Yun would definitely find fault. She is in the limelight now, and if she really wants to make something happen, even if she is reasonable, she can't take advantage of Mr. Qu.

On Friday afternoon, Qin Tang called over. Gu Shi'an looked at the number on the mobile phone screen, picked it up stubbornly, and called Mr. Qin in a sneering voice.

In fact, she had been thinking about calling Qin Tang, but she had never been able to muster up the courage. I didn't even know how to tell Qin Tang that the book he borrowed from her had been burned by Chen Xiao.

Qin Tang on the other end of the phone didn't notice that something was wrong with her, so he hummed lightly and asked, "How did you read the book?" ”

Gu Shi'an was unspeakable about this, and finally said hesitantly: "I lost your book." ”

She was ashamed, and she couldn't say such words. Qin Tang made so many notes in that book, and the effort can be imagined.

originally thought that Qin Tang would ask something. But he didn't ask anything. After a pause, he asked, "Are you free at night?" ”

Gu Shi'an looked at the time, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, I will invite you to dinner and make amends to you." ”

The corners of Qin Tang's lips on the other end of the phone hooked slightly, and said, "Come out when you have time, change into slightly more formal clothes, and I'll take you to meet a few people." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't react a little, so he sighed.

Qin Tang said patiently on the phone: "A few friends in the mall, there is no harm in meeting them." His tone was understated.

Although Gu Shi'an didn't know his intention of taking her to meet people, he deliberately mentioned it, which obviously would only benefit her. She answered and asked Qin Tang where she was meeting.

Qin Tang said lightly at this time that she would wait in her company, and he would ask someone to come and pick her up.

Gu Shi'an was afraid of delaying him, and originally wanted to talk about his past, but Qin Tang had already hung up the phone.

It's not long since the end of work, but fortunately, Gu Shi'an has prepared a set of formal clothes in the company, and he doesn't have to go back to change clothes.

She quickly finished the work at hand and waited for Qin Tang to come over.

Qin Tang came over a moment after work, and Gu Shi'an was already waiting in the parking lot. Originally, she thought that only the driver came to pick her up, but when she opened the door, she saw Qin Tang sitting inside.

Qin Tang was closing his eyes to recuperate, Gu Shi'an saw that he was a little uncomfortable, rubbed his nose and screamed Mr. Qin.

Qin Tang nodded lightly and said, "Get in the car." ”

Gu Shi'an hurriedly got into the car and closed the door.

The car quickly drove out of the parking lot, Qin Tang didn't know where to take out a box of pastries and handed it to her, saying, "Eat some mats first, it's too late to eat at this time." Wait until the dinner is over for dinner before going to eat. ”

Gu Shi'an knew what was going on at the dinner, where he could eat anything, and most of the time he was drinking.

Gu Shi'an responded with a good sentence, took the pastry handed over by Qin Tang and opened it, and then handed it to him again, saying, "You can also eat a piece." ”

Qin Tang closed his eyes, didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lightly: "I don't eat sweet." ”

He didn't say anything after he finished speaking, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

Then this pastry was specially prepared for her. Gu Shi'an was slightly stunned, and then said thank you seriously.

Qin Tang didn't speak.

The car was quiet all the way, and when the car stopped, Qin Tang opened his eyes. The driver opened the door and got out of the car.

He didn't speak, and Gu Shi'an followed him quietly. The two of them went upstairs all the way, and when they opened the door of the private room, there were people sitting inside, and they were the last to be there.

As soon as Qin Tang arrived, he became enthusiastic, and he didn't go out of his way to introduce Gu Shi'an's identity, and only when others asked about it, he said that it was his teacher's daughter and took her out to see the world.

He has always been cold, and bringing people out is enough to surprise those present. When it was time to start toasting, the wine that was saluted to Gu Shi'an was stopped by him. On the grounds that she drank lightly, I drank it for her.

All the people present were human spirits, and someone in the back gave Gu Shi'an juice.

Qin Tang drank a lot of wine, and his assistant was behind him. It was already past ten o'clock when the dinner was over, and Qin Tang couldn't tell that he was drunk at all. He didn't let anyone follow, took Gu Shi'an out of the hotel, looked at the time, and then asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

He blocked Gu Shi'an's wine for her, and she ate something. He, on the other hand, barely ate.

The people I saw today were all things that Gu Shi'an usually wanted to see but couldn't see. Qin Tang brought her out, undoubtedly expanding her contacts. She is grateful.

She said that she could eat anything, and then said, "Why don't you find a place to sit and wait for me, and I'll see if there's anything to eat nearby and bring it to you." ”

Qin Tang drank a lot of wine, and if he was okay on his face, it didn't mean that he was really fine.

Qin Tang didn't refuse, nodded, and said a good word.

He was quite straightforward now, Gu Shi'an asked him to sit on the side of the road, and then asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Qin Tang didn't answer at this time, he didn't know what he remembered, and said, "Just porridge." ”

There was a 24-hour porridge shop across the road, and he was probably afraid that Gu Shi'an would run away.

Gu Shi'an responded now, asked him to wait, and hurriedly went to the porridge shop opposite.

Her figure was slender and thin, Qin Tang looked at it, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Gu Shi'an came back soon, because she ran fast, her hair was blown a little messy. There is also fine and dense sweat on the forehead.

She brought two bowls of porridge, as well as side dishes prepared in the porridge and a bowl of decanting soup.

She took the newspaper she found from the store, spread it on the chair, put down the porridge and side dishes, and said, "Drink some decanting soup first and then drink porridge, the side dishes made by the proprietress herself are very appetizing." Eat it hot, and tomorrow your stomach won't be upset. ”

There was seriousness on her face.

Qin Tang nodded, took the decanting soup she denied and drank it slowly.

The spoon she brought over was a disposable plastic spoon, and Qin Tang was a little unaccustomed to using it. After two sips, he stopped, and then continued drinking.

When he was drinking, Gu Shi'an put the side dishes he brought into his porridge, and when he was almost drunk, he handed it to him, saying, "Taste it first, and then put it if you are still used to eating." ”

The porridge was warm in his hand, as Gu Shi'an said, the side dishes made by the proprietress were appetizing, Qin Tang originally had no appetite, but now he ate it slowly.

Gu Shi'an was obviously not full, and when he saw him eating, he also picked up the porridge and ate it slowly. She didn't know what she thought of, but after eating for a while, she suddenly smiled slightly, looked at the porridge in the bowl, and said, "Drink a bowl of porridge in the morning when the weather is cold, and your stomach will be warm all day." My mother's favorite thing to do in the winter was to make porridge for me. Eat it in the morning and eat it at night, and you won't get tired of it. Her craftsmanship is even better than that of the proprietress and I can eat such a big bowl of shrimp porridge. ”

As she spoke, she gestured with her hand in the porridge.

Qin Tang's movements paused. Gu Shi'an didn't say anything more, stayed for a while, and then continued to eat porridge seriously.

Qin Tang looked at her side face under the street lamp, didn't move for a while, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything after all.

The temperature outside was a little low in the middle of the night, but Gu Shi'an ate a thin layer of sweat. originally thought that porridge might not meet Qin Tang's appetite. But he ate cleanly.

It was not early, he called the driver and asked him to drive over, and then walked slowly with Gu Shi'an to eat.

He didn't mention the book again, but talked about the people at the dinner lightly. His tone was bland, like an outsider.

The driver quickly drove over, he didn't step forward, the car just slowed down so slowly, until Qin Tang in front of him stopped, he drove the car over, got out of the car and opened the door.

When he was in the car, Qin Tang's drunkenness probably came up, and he didn't speak again. Closed his eyes and pretended to sleep as when he came.

Gu Shi'an stayed quietly, waiting for the place to arrive, she was going to get off the car quietly. Who knew that as soon as he opened the car door, Qin Tang opened his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said to the driver in front of him, "Send Miss Gu up." ”

It's not early, and it's quiet in the parking lot.

Gu Shi'an hurriedly said no, Qin Tang propped his hand on his eyebrows and did not speak.

The driver naturally wouldn't listen to Gu Shi'an, and gently closed the door. said to Gu Shi'an, Miss Gu, please.

Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse, so he had to go upstairs with the driver.

The driver was dutiful, watched her open the door, and then went back.

The house was empty, and Gu Shi'an entered the door, but he didn't move forward. She naturally knew that Qin Tang's care for her was mostly from her father.

And there are many things about her father, which she actually wants to ask. The words came to my lips. But he was never able to speak.

She didn't even know what kind of relationship her father had between her father and Qin Tang, so that he would take care of her so much? When her father died, she was not young, but she had no impression of Qin Tang.

Gu Shi'an leaned against the door for a long time before going to the bathroom to take a bath. Her mind was a mess, and she lay on the bed for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when Gu Shi'an was still in bed, he received a call from Chang Yin. Said it was for her not to forget to go over at night.

Gu Shi'an responded. Answered Chang Yin's call. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up and washed up and cleaned the house.

After cleaning up, she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then called Chen Xiao, originally planning to ask when he would come back. But it was not Chen Xiao who answered the phone, but his assistant.

Gu Shi'an didn't ask now, and hung up the phone after a few polite words.

Chen Xiao called back after a long time, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter with the call?" ”

He was still busy, and there was still a voice on the other end of the phone.

Gu Shi'an asked at this time, "When will you come back?" ”

Chen Xiao laughed on the other end of the phone. said, "What, daughter-in-law, do you miss me?" But I may not be able to come back today, and there are some things that have not been dealt with yet. ”

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to talk about Chang Yan's invitation to dinner, but he didn't say anything now, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you gone to the hospital for a review?" ”

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you worried about me?" He had probably walked to a remote place, where no one was talking. sighed, and then chuckled again. said: "It seems that I have to work harder in the future, women, they have to be happy in bed to know that they feel sorry for their man." ”

He never had a straight line in his mouth. As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and smoked it, regained a bit of seriousness, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

Gu Shi'an's face was still hot because of his last sentence, so he didn't say a word now. She was about to hang up the phone, but before she could say that she hung up, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked again: "Has anyone been looking for trouble with you in the past few days?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't react to who he was talking about for a while, and after a while, he realized that he was talking about Chen Zhengkang, so he shook his head, thinking that he couldn't see it, and said again: "No." ”

She remembered what Chen Zhengkang said that day, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Did you do something?" ”

Chen Xiao was a little lazy on the other end of the phone, and said: "This is a matter between me and him, daughter-in-law, you don't care." ”

His mood is probably good, if anyone mentioned Chen Zhengkang in the past, his face would immediately be clouded.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak now. Wouldn't it be said that there is a deep grudge between the two, and a person like Chen Zhengkang, if Chen Xiao is easy to handle, I am afraid that he will not be at peace for a long time.

Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone didn't speak, and after a while, it seemed that someone was calling him, so he said that his daughter-in-law hung up, and then hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to go back to see his grandmother, but he made a phone call to find out that the old lady and a few old friends had gone out for tea. Her second aunt should have made an appointment with Mayou to play at home, and there was a lot of commotion over there. Gu Shi'an didn't go over. I asked the old lady about her physical condition before hanging up the phone.

She was fine, so she went out early to go to Chang Yan's side of work. The place where I often go to work is relatively partial, in a small alley. Gu Shi'an struggled to find it.

Chang Yin was still busy when she went, and when she came out, she hurriedly greeted her, asked people to serve her refreshments, and continued to go to work.

Gu Shi'an sat alone, ate a plate of pastries, and drank half a pot of tea, and Chang Yan came out.

She was still wearing a chef's uniform, Gu Shi'an poured her a cup of tea, and she drank it and asked, "Why did you come here so early?" ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and said, "It's okay anyway." Come and see where you work. ”

A slight smile appeared on Chang Yan's face, and he said seriously, "It's good, isn't it?" ”

It's really good, although the place is remote, but the environment is quiet. People are not complicated, and what they should do is the business of repeat customers.

Gu Shi'an nodded vigorously and said that it was good.

The smile on Chang Yan's face deepened, and he said: "I'll cook you a good dish later, I didn't have all the things at home before, and the materials were not good enough to be used." ”

Gu Shi'an stuck out his tongue at this time, and said with great regret: "I knew that I shouldn't have eaten pastries and drank tea just now." ”

No, my stomach is half full.

Chang Yan was amused by her and said, "It's still early, you can go out to eat." ”

Gu Shi'an responded with a smile, looked around, and asked, "Aren't you busy now?" ”

Chang Yan nodded, looked at the time, and said, "You can rest for twenty minutes." ”

There aren't many people here, and they're not very tired. It's just that the boss has always been striving for perfection in the dishes, and he has to put a little more thought.

Gu Shi'an nodded. She remembered Chang Yan's shop, so she asked, "You are here, isn't that store open?" ”

Chang Yan smiled faintly and said, "You know, I can't cover it for a long time." In fact, it should have been closed a long time ago. ”

It's just that she has been reluctant. That's why it's so strong. Over the years, she was tired. But that store is always a thought. I have survived.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak now, and looked down at the tea leaves in the cup. Although Chang Yan's tone was an understatement, she knew that she would definitely be reluctant. Just forced to make a living. I just had to give up.

As she said, if she was willing, she would have closed the door a long time ago. I won't be able to make ends meet, and I have to hold on to it.

The two didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Chang Yan asked, "Last time you left in a hurry in the morning, are you okay?" ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and said that it was okay.

She didn't want to linger on this topic, and asked, "How is Xiaohuzi?" ”

"The recovery is very good, and the doctor said that he can be discharged from the hospital in a few days and go back to recuperate. Go back and review it according to the time. ”

After such a major operation, in fact, he should not have been discharged from the hospital so early. It's about knowing their situation. That's what the doctor did. Thanks to Xiaohuzi's good health, he recovered quickly.

Chang Yan sat for a while and then continued to go back to be busy, Gu Shi'an came over a little early, drank a lot of tea, she went to the bathroom, and saw that Chang Yan must have been busy for a while and went out for a walk.

In fact, she was relieved to see Chang Yan working here, listening to her, she should be quite satisfied with the salary offered here. That way, she won't go back to those places.

There were people coming and going in the alley, and I don't know why, Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Chang Yin.

She just stood in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses until her phone rang.

took out his mobile phone, and the call turned out to be from Chen Xiao. She paused slightly before picking up the phone.

As soon as he fed it, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked lazily, "Daughter-in-law, where are you?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant by asking, but he still went back to the place where he was now.

Chen Xiao hung up the phone with a sigh. Gu Shi'an was a little inexplicable, and when he went back after shopping. I saw Chen Xiao lighting a cigarette and standing at the mouth of the alley.

He smiled proudly, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, are you quite surprised?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't answer, glanced at him, and asked suspiciously, "Don't you still have something to do?" "Why did you come back all of a sudden?

Chen Xiao dusted off the cigarette ash on his hand, still smiling, and said, "The world is not as big as my daughter-in-law." My daughter-in-law misses me, so naturally I have to come back. ”

He couldn't be more serious. As he spoke, he took another step forward, attached it to Gu Shi'an's ear, and said ambiguously: "Daughter-in-law, if you don't think that I think hard, you won't call me, will you?" ”
