The day was exceptionally peaceful, and in the afternoon, Gu Shi'an finally drove out the design plan. She called Assistant Cao, asked Manager Xu where he was in the company, and sent the design plan over.

It must have been too late to go back this time, so she told Xiao Wang that she would get off work directly after a while and would not return to the company.

Gu Shi'an was grateful to the little girl at the front desk yesterday for calling Manager Xu, and specially asked the driver to go around and buy some desserts and fruits to bring over.

When she got to the ground, she took the things to the little girl at the front desk and distributed them, so she called Assistant Cao.

Xu Wei didn't see her, but just asked Assistant Cao to take the design plan. Let Gu Shi'an wait downstairs.

This is undoubtedly embarrassing Gu Shi'an, and I don't know where she made her uncomfortable yesterday.

Assistant Cao was a little uncomfortable, and said: "Don't think about it, our manager couldn't be fairer, if you want your design plan to be in her eyes, she will definitely adopt it." ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and thanked Assistant Cao. Honestly waiting down there.

She waited for a long time, until the employees in the company got off work one after another, and Manager Xu didn't call her.

The room was cold, and Gu Shi'an's hands and feet were numb from the cold. It's not good to walk around in someone else's company, and she occasionally gets up and moves her hands and feet, and then sits back down.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and Gu Shi'an was the only one left in the entire hall. The staff is probably gone, deserted.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to call Assistant Cao, but he didn't call after all, just looked at the time from time to time.

It was past eight o'clock. There was the sound of footsteps in the hallway.

Gu Shi'an raised his head and looked over, and the person who came over was not Manager Xu, but Assistant Cao.

Assistant Cao was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Shi'an, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Haven't you left yet?" Manager Xu is not ......" She stopped talking about this and said, "I'm sorry, Manager Xu asked me to call you and say that I would reply to you another day, and I forgot about it when I was busy." I'm really sorry. ”

She is like this, Gu Shi'an naturally knows that Xu Wei is embarrassing her. I don't know where she offended her yesterday.

Now is not the time to think about these things, Gu Shi'an suppressed this thought, and said with a smile: "It's okay." After a slight pause, she asked, "Isn't Manager Xu off work yet?" ”

Assistant Cao smiled at this time and said, "Not yet, she still has some things on her hands, and she has to deal with them before leaving." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and didn't ask any more. Changed the topic and asked Assistant Cao where he lived.

Knowing that Assistant Cao lived in the city, she invited her to go with her, and Assistant Cao was also a very hearty person and agreed.

Assistant Cao didn't say much, most of the time it was Gu Shi'an who was talking. She just smiled slightly.

When he sat in the car, Gu Shi'an asked tentatively, "Assistant Cao, did I offend Manager Xu somewhere?" ”

Cao Yutong looked at her in surprise and said, "Why do you think that?" She was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't think about it, Manager Xu's temper is weird, and he often ...... It's not just for you anyway. ”

She said this Gu Shi'an's heart was relaxed, she was originally planning to find a place to eat together, Cao Yutong shook her head. said that her boyfriend at home was already waiting for her. Gu Shi'an had no choice but to give up.

When Gu Shi'an returned to the old mansion, it was already late, knowing that she was going to come back late, Ye Qing left her a meal alone.

Chen Xiao's shoes were not seen at the entrance, and Gu Shi'an originally thought that he had not returned. When I got back to the bedroom, I realized that he had already returned. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he was holding a notebook and doing business.

His appearance looked polite, but it was completely in line with the word Sven beast.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and went directly to the bathroom to wash.

Last night's incident, she originally thought that Chen Xiao would say something. Who knows, he didn't say anything as if nothing had happened.

The more Chen Xiao was like this, the more uneasy Gu Shi'an's heart became. The next day, a little earlier after work, she called the old lady, bought some fruit snacks and brought them over.

I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or something else, her eldest uncle and aunt and her second uncle's family are all there.

Her eldest aunt Tang Chunying saw her as if she were a guest, took the things in her hand, and asked her aunt to pour her tea.

The Gu family has a large population, and Gu Shi'an's father has four brothers in his generation. Her father was the youngest.

Her third uncle's family had already moved out because of the power of her third aunt's mother's family. In the old house, only the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family remained.

But in fact, only her second uncle's family lives in the old mansion. The children of her uncle's family are all married, and they often live in the old mansion with many trivial things, so they rarely come back. Usually only her uncle and aunt come back for the night.

Probably because she doesn't come back often, the dinner menu is rich, and it is cooked by her aunt and uncle.

Gu Shi'an wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Tang Chunying didn't let her, saying that it was rare for her to come back, so just let her sit. And let the aunt go and invite the old lady.

It's completely treating her as a guest.

Gu Shi'an didn't insist and sat down. The old house now is much more deserted than when she was a child. She was slightly in a daze.

After sitting for a short time, Gu Su walked downstairs. Seeing Gu Shi'an there, she was not surprised at all, her chin was raised high, and she had no intention of greeting her at all.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, just sat and picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

Gu Su quickly sat down on the sofa not far from her, she still couldn't hold back, lowered her voice and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing here?" ”

She was somewhat nervous.

Gu Shi'an glanced at her with a smile and said, "Who stipulated that I couldn't come back?" ”

Gu Su choked, she wanted to say something, just when the old lady came out. She didn't say anything.

The old lady was happy to see Gu Shi'an, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

"Haven't you been busy some time ago, and I haven't come back to see you, but I happened to come over early after work today." Gu Shi'an replied with a smile.

The old lady nodded and asked about Gu Shi'an's work.

Gu Su listened while the grandfather and grandson were talking, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time. A sisterly and happy look.

It's a departure from her usual style of hiding far away.

When it was time to eat, Gu Qian came down from upstairs. He looked well-dressed, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he didn't say hello, and glanced at her coldly. When Gu Shi'an called him, he hummed from his nose and never spoke again.

No one should know what the two siblings have done, and the atmosphere in the old mansion is the same as before.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Gu Su again, but he didn't find a chance. Gu Su and Gu Qian went upstairs soon after eating. In the feet to the lain.

It's to avoid her.

Gu Shi'an has not lived in the old mansion for many years, and he has no plans to live. After eating, I greeted the old lady and the aunt and uncle, and left.

Because of the snow, the old lady didn't keep her.

It was still early when she went out of the Gu family's old house, but it was only past eight o'clock. Remembering that she hadn't seen Chang Yan for a while, she called Chang Yan and asked her if she was in the store.

She was going back to pass by Chang Yin, and wanted to stop by to see her.

Probably busy, Chang Yan picked up the phone after a while. Just say yes, and now it's busy. But it won't be long before she gets busy, and she shouldn't be fine in the past. She just made eel sushi today, and she happened to try it in the past.

Gu Shi'an responded, originally going to take a taxi over, but at this time, the car was not easy to take, so she took the bus over.

The heating on the bus was running full, and she hadn't slept much these days, so she leaned back in her chair and dozed off.

When she suddenly opened her eyes after several stops of sleepiness, she found that there were many people on the bus.

She had just woken up, and her mind was a little confused. I looked sideways and looked out the window to see that I hadn't sat down, so I was relieved.

The next stop was about to go, and she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, trying to sober herself up. After rubbing it, he inadvertently raised his head, and met the sight of a man not far away.

probably didn't expect Gu Shi'an to look over, and the man immediately withdrew his gaze. He turned his head and talked to the people around him.

Gu Shi'an didn't care, there was still a stop to get off the train, so she stood up and walked to the back.

As she went, the two men followed. But it didn't come close, it just followed not far away.

Gu Shi'an was a little vigilant, and took out his mobile phone to call Chang Yin. But Chang Yin was probably busy, and no one answered the phone for a long time.

She hung up the phone, thinking about whether to get off at this stop.

It's still lively here, but this car is driving to the edge of the city, and the more you drive, the more remote it becomes. When she gets to a remote place, if someone really follows her. It's even harder to get rid of people.

And get off here, as long as she can run smoothly to Chang Yan's store, it will be safe.

Gu Shi'an's mind made a decision, squeezed to the side of the door, and waited for the door to open, she immediately jumped out of the car.

Outside was a lively night market, and Gu Shi'an originally thought that the two of them would have some scruples. But it was probably because she got out of the car in too much hurry that the two of them noticed that she had spotted them, and they caught up with them.

Gu Shi'an's heart chuckled, and he ran forward. The night market here is very densely packed, and all of them are stalls next to each other.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to run where she usually was, but she was not familiar with this side, and she was in a hurry, so she didn't even see the alley of the Changyin store when she ran out.

Her palms were sweating.

There are a lot of people in the night market, but probably because they are afraid of getting into trouble, and no one stops them when they see two big men chasing a woman. Just craned his neck curiously to look.

At this moment, even shouting for help may not be useful. Seeing that the two people behind her were about to catch up, Gu Shi'an gritted her teeth, and when she saw a dark alley in front of her, she went in.

The alley was very quiet, and the occasional dog barking came from the courtyard. Gu Shi'an didn't know where this alley led, he only knew that he was running one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The two probably didn't expect her to run into this dark alley, gritting their teeth and scolding behind them: "You stinky girl, stop for Lao Tzu." ”

The mouths of the two of them were scolding, because their eyes couldn't adapt to the light for a while, and the speed of chasing Gu Shi'an slowed down.

After running so far, Gu Shi'an's physical strength was already a little exhausted. She knew to run like that all the time. When the two of them are fully accustomed to this little alley, she will definitely be caught up.

She gritted her teeth and ran in when she saw a fork in the road. This is undoubtedly risky, although the alleys here seem to be extended, there are always dead ends, and if you are unlucky, you will only be caught.

The two quickly adjusted to the light, and the sound of footsteps and curses drew closer.

There is endless darkness ahead, and there are people chasing after it. Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered the black room when he was a child. She was suddenly overwhelmed by a sudden despair, her chest was squeezed as if it was about to explode, and her already heavy steps slowly slowed down.

There were so many images in her mind at this moment, and she was in a trance. Not knowing what she stepped on, she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.

The sudden pain cleared her mind, and the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and she gritted her teeth and quickly got up and continued to run.

She was already sweating, and her feet should have been broken. It hurts so badly that it's hot. Every step is like stepping on the tip of a knife.

Gu Shi'an didn't know how long she could hold on, and when she turned a corner and saw that the door of a courtyard in front of her was hidden, she gritted her teeth and went in without thinking.

She ran in a hurry, and when she entered, she found that the lights in the yard were on. She suddenly stopped, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Chen Xiao and another man standing under the eaves.

Where did Gu Shi'an think that he would see Chen Xiao here, he immediately wanted to withdraw. Who knew that his feet were weak, and he just took a step back and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

She looked embarrassed. Chen Xiao's brows under the eaves immediately furrowed. He immediately walked over and said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”

Although his appearance was cold, Gu Shi'an was inexplicably relieved at this moment. Intermittently, he said breathlessly: "Someone, here, chasing me." ”

She was sweating profusely, her hair had fallen out to cover her face, and she was not embarrassed at all. Her breathing was rapid, and it took a great deal of effort to spit out the words.

Chen Xiao's brows furrowed even more, and he immediately said to the person behind him, "Go out and have a look." ”

Gu Shi'an calmed down at this moment, and only then did he realize that there was not only Chen Xiaohe and the man he saw just now in the courtyard. There were a lot of people standing.

Gu Shi'an chuckled in his heart when he saw this posture, knowing that he had entered a place where he should not have entered. But now she can't retreat, so she made a scared look and grabbed Chen Xiao's clothes tightly.

Chen Xiao didn't look at her, and reached out to open her hand. Gu Shi'an's cheekiness came into play again, and he immediately grabbed it again.

The people he called out came back quickly, and the two of them came back before they finished fighting, glanced at Gu Shi'an, who was still sitting on the ground, and said, "The people who chased after him ran towards the street." Chen Shao. Do you want to chase? ”

Chen Xiao didn't answer, he took Gu Shi'an's hand away again, and said coldly: "Take her to the car first." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and blocked Gu Shi'an's figure.

The two of them replied, probably knowing that Gu Shi'an couldn't run, so one grabbed one of Gu Shi'an's arms and pushed her outside.

Gu Shi'an knew that he was probably ruining Chen Xiao's business, so he didn't say anything, and let the two of them carry her out.

She ran in a hurry when she came. I didn't even notice that there were cars parked in this small alley.

The two quickly threw Gu Shi'an into the car and locked the door.

Gu Shi'an's strength was exhausted in the long-distance run just now, like a puddle of mud, and after a long while, he felt cold before he remembered that he had just fallen to the ground, and the back of his butt was all wet. The car seat is probably also dirty.

There were no clothes to change now, and she was about to find something from the car to cushion when she saw Chen Xiao walk out of the door.

Gu Shi'an didn't move now, and sat honestly in the car.

She originally thought that Chen Xiao was coming, but she didn't. He walked straight to a car in front of him.

The person who followed him opened the car door for him, and then walked over to Gu Shi'an's car. I opened the door, got into the driver's seat and drove the car.

The alley here is winding, and it took five or six minutes for the car to turn left and right before it reached the main road outside.

The car drove a little further before the car in front stopped. Chen Xiao opened the car door and got out of the car, walked towards the car that Gu Shi'an was in, and pulled the door from the other side to get into the car.

When he got into the car, he asked the driver to turn up the heater a little, glanced at Gu Shi'an with disgust, and asked, "Who is chasing you?" ”

Gu Shi'an's mind had been around many times in the car at this time, but he had no clue at all. Hearing Chen Xiao's question, he shook his head.

Chen Xiao's brows furrowed, and he asked where Gu Shi'an came from. Gu Shi'an replied.

Chen Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak, and only after a while did he glance at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?" ”

Gu Shi'an was even more dazed and shook his head.

Chen Xiao stopped talking now, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, he said to the driver in front of him, "Stop at the mall." ”

Then the driver responded respectfully.

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

Chen Xiao snorted coldly and said, "What do you think Aunt Ye will think when you go back like this?" ”

Yes, she was embarrassed like this, and if she went back like this, the old lady would definitely be worried.

Gu Shi'an was silent now. The car quickly pulled over, and Chen Xiao opened the door to get out of the car. Gu Shi'an was about to get out of the car immediately.

Who knew that before the door opened, Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "I'll just go, you are like this, don't come out." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Gu Shi'an anymore. I went to the mall. The driver in front of him got out of the car early, and followed behind him when he saw Chen Xiao leaving.

Chen Xiao glanced back at him, and didn't know what to say, so he stopped and went to the car where Chen Xiao got off in front of him.

Chen Xiao didn't come back long after, carrying a big bag in his hand. He pulled the car door and threw the clothes directly to Gu Shi'an, and said simply: "Changed." ”

What he meant was that Gu Shi'an changed in the car.

Gu Shi'an was a little uncomfortable, twisted the bag, and said, "I'll go inside and change it." ”

Chen Xiao was impatient and said, "I'm guarding here, no one will come." After he finished speaking, he didn't care about Gu Shi'an, he directly slammed the car door, lit a cigarette and smoked it next to the car.

Although he knew that people outside couldn't see it, Gu Shi'an was very awkward when he changed clothes on the street for the first time.

Chen Xiao was quite careful at this time, probably guessing that Gu Shi'an's pants had been wet, and he bought them inside and out.

Gu Shi'an's movements were fast, knowing that he couldn't see outside. But every time Chen Xiao looked back, she was terrified.

Chen Xiao didn't know if he guessed it or what, so he hooked his lips.

The clothes were changed quickly, and when he changed his pants, there was pain in his knees, and Gu Shi'an remembered the fall at that time.

By the dim light, there was a blur of flesh on his knees. Gu Shi'an couldn't care so much at this time, took out a tissue to pad the bloody place, and then put on his pants.

She packed up her dirty laundry and cleaned her seat. Only then did he open the car door and say to Chen Xiao, who was standing and smoking, "Okay." ”

Chen Xiao did not sit in the back this time, but bypassed the body and sat in the driver's seat.

When he got into the car, he snuffed out the cigarette butts, glanced back at Gu Shi'an, and said casually: "It seems to be quite suitable." ”

Gu Shi'an was very nervous when he changed his clothes, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. Only then did I realize that the clothes he picked out were indeed the right size.

No matter what, this time she owes Chen Xiao's affection. She said thank you.

The corners of Chen Xiao's lips hooked evilly, and said, "What's polite, do you want me to touch it." Can I know that clearly? You should thank yourself. ”

He obviously knew that Gu Shi'an was thanking him or something, but he deliberately misinterpreted it.

Gu Shi'an's face turned red, and he stopped talking, pinning his face to the side.

At this time, Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang, he took it out to look at it, and picked up the phone.

I didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, so he hummed a few times, hung up the phone, and started the car.

It was a little quiet in the car, so Chen Xiao turned on the radio station boredly. The host is answering the hotline, listening to the caller's emotional story.

Chen Xiao didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of program, he changed several radio stations in a row and there was no suitable program, so he changed back again.

The street was empty, he was probably bored, lit another cigarette and smoked, glanced back at Gu Shi'an, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, I heard that it's quite exciting to do it in the car." Do you want to play? ”
