Chapter 160: Engagement

Gu Shi'an slept until more than twelve o'clock in the night and woke up, the lights in the ward were turned off, only the dim light in the corner, accompanied by the crisp sound of tapping the keyboard.

Her mind was a little confused for a while, and after a while, she realized that Chen Xiao was still handling work.

She drank a little too much water before going to bed, and she got out of bed without saying a word, and was about to go to the bathroom, when the lights in the ward turned on all of a sudden.

Her eyes were a little uncomfortable, and she looked at Chen Xiao after a few seconds. Chen Xiao over there was still tapping on the keyboard, as if the person who turned on the light was not him.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak and went to the bathroom. When she came back, Chen Xiao was already turning off the computer, and she didn't care about him, so she lay on the bed and closed her eyes again.

She had already woken up once, and she thought she couldn't sleep. Who knew that it wouldn't be long before closing his eyes and falling asleep in a daze.

Before the whole person fell asleep, he felt that someone had gone to bed. Before Gu Shi'an's drowsy brain could react, the person was hugged tightly in his arms.

She suddenly sobered up, and just as she was about to struggle, a voice came from her ear: "Don't move your daughter-in-law, it's raining, I'm here to warm your bed." ”

Chen Xiao's voice brought a little smile, and the hot breath exhaled went straight to Gu Shi'an's ears.

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened violently, and he said in a dumb voice: "Thank you, I'm not cold." Do you go down or do I go down? ”

Chen Xiao chuckled again and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be so serious." It's not like we haven't slept together, and I promise not to do anything. ”

As he spoke, the hand around Gu Shi'an's waist imprisoned her tightly, obviously lying on this bed.

Gu Shi'an pursed his lips and did not speak.

Chen Xiao was very interested now, and quickly let go of Gu Shi'an and said, "Don't be angry, daughter-in-law, I'll sleep over there." ”

As he spoke, he got out of bed and slept in another bed.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything and closed his eyes. She was obviously still asleep just now, but after Chen Xiao's trouble, she didn't feel sleepy at all, and she couldn't sleep on the bed for a long time.

On the other hand, Chen Xiao on the bed seemed to be asleep, without any sound.

The ward was quiet, Gu Shi'an lay down with his eyes open for a while, and still fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes and saw a magnified handsome face. Her mind was foggy, and she didn't react for a moment. When she reacted, she immediately sat up from the bed, pursed her lips and asked, "When did you come up?" ”

Although Chen Xiao was sleepy-eyed, he quickly woke up. sat up lazily and said with an innocent face: "You called it cold in the middle of the night last night, so I came to warm the quilt for you." ”

There was no credibility in his words, and he didn't lie in bed, but got up, yawning and going to the bathroom as if nothing was right.

Gu Shi'an gritted his teeth, and swallowed all the anger in his stomach in the end.

Her fever has completely subsided, and she has to go to work at Gu's on Monday, so she naturally can't stay in the hospital anymore. After getting up and washing, she didn't care about Chen Xiao, and went straight to the doctor to go through the discharge procedures.

It was not yet eight o'clock, and the doctor had not yet come to work. The nurse told her to wait for the attending doctor to come back.

Gu Shi'an had to go back and wait.

When she went to the nurse's station, Chen Xiao had already gone to buy breakfast and came back. He put down the porridge in his hand and said, "The doctor said that you have to eat something light." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't refuse, took the porridge and ate it.

Before the bowl of porridge was finished, Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang. I don't know who made the call, he took it out and looked at it, but didn't answer.

The call didn't come back. Waiting for Gu Shi'an's porridge to finish, there was a knock on the door of the ward.

I don't know if the doctor came, Gu Shi'an stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was not a doctor, but Li Ran, who had exquisite makeup.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect it to be her at all, and was slightly stunned.

Li Ran said with a decent smile on his face, "I'm sorry Shi'an, I came here to disturb you so early." I have something to do to come and find Chen Xiao. ”

There was a timely look of apology on her face.

Gu Shi'an smiled faintly and said, "Senior Sister Li is polite, come in." ”

At this moment when the two were talking, Chen Xiao had already walked out. He wasn't surprised to see Li Ran.

Li Ran's face at this moment showed a little uncomfortable, and said, "I'm sorry, come here so early......"

Before she finished her words, Chen Xiao said, "Let's go." ”

He said and walked straight out. Li Ran smiled again and said a few polite words to Gu Shi'an, and then left with Chen Xiao.

The two didn't know what they were going to talk about, and the figure quickly disappeared into the hallway. Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance, and then went back to the ward.

The doctor didn't come for a long time, she packed her things, and stood at the window of the ward looking out in a daze.

The weather has not been good for the last few days, and it is still drizzling outside. Probably because of the gloomy weather, her heart was empty.

Chen Xiao didn't come back after this trip, and the doctor soon came to check the ward. Gu Shi'an proposed to be discharged. She was fine, but the doctor examined her and asked her to go through the discharge procedures.

Probably because it's still early, there aren't many people. Gu Shi'an quickly completed the discharge procedures. She came unconscious, not with anything. When he walks, he is also empty-handed. Chen Xiao's things were still in the ward, she didn't take them away, and left a phone call for the nurse, saying that if no one came back later, she would ask her to call Assistant Sun and ask him to come and get something.

In the rain on the mountain, Gu Shi'an's mobile phone was broken, no one called, but it was very clean, she sent the mobile phone for repair first, borrowed the mobile phone and called Chang Yan to tell her that she had been discharged from the hospital. Chang Yan was probably worried that she would be too lazy to cook and eat alone, so she asked her to go to the store.

Gu Shi'an thought about it for a while, and took the car to the store.

The store was busy at noon, and Chang Yan didn't want her to help, so he got her something to eat and let her rest.

They were all busy with Gu Shi'an, where he was willing to rest alone, and helped to do some simple things. It wasn't until noon that no one went to rest.

She was supposed to help in the store in the afternoon, and Chang Yan would ask her to help again, so he drove her back at five o'clock.

I didn't return home for a few days, and the house was deserted. Gu Shi'an had nothing to do, cleaned up, and then lay on the bed with his head covered.

She was woken up by a knock on the door, at first she thought it was a knock on the door next door, but when the knock kept ringing, she got up and went into the living room, only to realize that it was a knock on the door of her own house.

I don't know who is so persistent and has been knocking for so long.

She yawned and opened the door, and it was not anyone standing outside the door, it was Chen Xiao. He had something in his hand, probably for food.

He didn't mention that he had knocked on the door for a long time, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Still sleeping?" After he finished asking, he didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to answer, and asked again: "Have you eaten?" ”

He had been knocking on the door for a long time, and it was undoubtedly noticeable to stand in the hallway and speak again. She leaned sideways to let him in before asking, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Of course, I came to see you, daughter-in-law." Chen Xiao replied innocently.

He didn't mention that Gu Shi'an was discharged from the hospital himself, put the food he brought on the table, and said, "Come and eat." ”

When Gu Shi'an came back, he ate in the store, didn't speak, and no matter how Chen Xiao tossed, he sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Chen Xiao quickly walked over and asked, "What, no appetite?" Whatever you want to eat, I'll have someone bring it over. ”

He didn't know what he was trying to do.

Gu Shi'an replied at this time: "I have already eaten it." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you angry?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Gu Shi'an replied without thinking.

The smile on Chen Xiao's lips deepened, turned around and took the porridge he brought from the dining table, and said, "If you are not angry, eat something, this is what Aunt Ye specially boiled when I went back to the old mansion and asked me to bring it to you." She also lets you have time to come over for dinner next weekend. ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything now.

Chen Xiao stirred the porridge with a spoon, and when he saw that Gu Shi'an didn't speak, he raised his eyebrows again, and said with a low smile: "Daughter-in-law, do you want me to feed you?" ”

As he spoke, he scooped the porridge with a spoon.

This porridge was specially boiled by Ye Qing Gu Shi'an wanted to eat something, she took the bowl in Chen Xiao's hand and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

Chen Xiao smiled and gave her the bowl.

She had already eaten, but now she ate a bowl and didn't eat again.

Chen Xiao ate the rest of the porridge alone, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks for the first time.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about him, and waited for him to come out of the kitchen, then he pursed his lips and asked, "When will you go back?" ”

Chen Xiao said casually: "Didn't you say last time that I would stay here for a few days?" ”

Gu Shi'an said coldly at this time: "You said last time that you would go back after the matter was dealt with." ”

"That's right." Chen Xiao nodded, made an innocent look, and said, "But the matter hasn't been dealt with yet." Of course I had to stay. ”

The way he is now, it doesn't look like he has anything to do yet. Gu Shi'an didn't believe his words at all, endured it again and again, and still asked, "What else do you have to deal with?" ”

Chen Xiao said seriously: "There are a lot of things that have not been dealt with. When he said this, he suddenly smiled, looked at Gu Shi'an with a pair of narrow dark eyes, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of?" ”

His eyes were deep and bottomless.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask such a sentence, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately said, "I'm not afraid of anything." ”

She met Chen Xiao's gaze.

Chen Xiao laughed lightly and said, "That's fine." Since you are not afraid of anything, daughter-in-law, it will not be good for me to stay for a few days. After a slight pause, he continued: "I have a bit of a difficult account with them this time, and you can see that they are numerous. I'll go back when things are taken care of. ”

He didn't talk about it when he came back.

Gu Shi'an was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What's going on?" ”

Where would Chen Xiao tell her, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I will deal with the affairs outside." If you feel sorry for me, you can make more soup to nourish my body. ”

He said with a handsome face approaching Gu Shi'an, and his voice was low and ambiguous.

Gu Shi'an stepped back and ignored him. I went straight to the study.

In the living room, Chen Xiao yawned, took off his coat and threw it aside, and went to the bathroom to wash.

Chen Xiaozai was there, Gu Shi'an didn't want to go out, so he stayed in the study. Chen Xiao didn't bother her, and when she came out of the study, he was already asleep on the sofa.

Gu Shi'an glanced at the sofa, paused slightly, and went back to the room.

With the incident of Chen Xiao climbing into bed in the middle of the night last night, she didn't forget to lock the door when she entered the bedroom.

Chen Xiao's mobile phone was sent for repair for two days, and Gu Shi'an received a call from the after-sales service the next day, saying that the mobile phone had been repaired and asked her to go over to get it.

Although the mobile phone was flooded, it could not be seen after repairing. It is also the same as the original.

If the phone is broken, you can't see the missed calls, and the previous call history is empty. I don't know if the old lady has called in the past few days, Gu Shi'an got the phone and called over.

The old lady didn't notice what had happened when the two of them left that night, and didn't ask anything.

Gu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, talked to the old lady for a while, and then hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, Qin Tang called and asked where she was.

Gu Shi'an didn't know how to feel a little weak, so he replied that he was at home.

Qin Tang let her out, saying that there was a drinking party, and he couldn't find anyone for the time being, so he asked her to accompany him to participate.

He opened his mouth Gu Shi'an naturally would not refuse, so he answered and asked him what clothes he was going to wear.

Qin Tang was quite casual about this, saying that it was not formal, and let her wear anything.

Although he asked him to wear anything, Gu Shi'an was still dressed quite formally. Qin Tang should have been nearby, so it didn't take long for him to call, so he asked Gu Shi'an to go downstairs, saying that he was already outside the community.

Gu Shi'an hurriedly went downstairs, and when he arrived outside the community, Qin Tang was leaning on the car and smoking, and when he saw her, he snuffed out the cigarette butt.

I don't know if it was because the illness last time was not over or what, his face was still a little pale. Gu Shi'an stepped forward and called Mr. Qin, he nodded slightly, and then opened the car door for her.

Qin Tang didn't know if he was in a bad mood or what, and he didn't say much.

Gu Shi'an couldn't find what to say for a while, until the car drove out, and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Qin, where are we going?" ”

Qin Tang looked at her sideways and said, "Over there in the city center." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded, and did not break the casserole to ask to the end.

She originally thought that Qin Tang didn't want to speak, but who knew that he then asked lightly: "Why can't the mobile phone get through these days?" ”

It turns out that he has been calling in the past few days.

Gu Shi'an's heart became weak at this moment, and said, "It's bad, I just repaired it today." ”

Qin Tang glanced at her, but he didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he didn't speak.

Gu Shi'an quietly breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back even more.

Until he arrived at the ground, Qin Tang never spoke again.

said that it was a drinking party, Qin Tang just came over and went through the motions. At eight o'clock, he left with Gu Shi'an.

He was not in good health, did not drink or eat at the party. When he sat in the car, he raised his wrist to look at the time and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Gu Shi'an replied that he could eat anything.

He was a little different from before, unusually silent. Gu Shi'an wanted to ask something, but he couldn't open it several times. When she sat down at the place where she was eating, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Qin, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Qin Tang said lightly that it was okay. After a slight pause, he looked at Gu Shi'an and asked, "Where have you been in the past few days?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't know why he asked this, and replied with a little weakness: "I didn't go anywhere, just in the store and at home." ”

Qin Tang nodded and did not speak again.

He seemed to have something on his mind, although he took Gu Shi'an out to eat, but Gu Shi'an was eating, and he rarely used chopsticks.

When Gu Shi'an had almost eaten, he said, "Lawyer Yu told me." ”

What he said was clueless, and Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while. When he reacted, he realized that he was talking about her divorce from Chen Xiao.

Without waiting for Gu Shi'an to speak, he asked again, "What are you going to do?" ”

When he said this, he looked at Gu Shi'an. It was as if she was looking at her determination.

Gu Shi'an fell silent at this time. She is not Chen Xiao's opponent at all, and even now, she has no clue at all.

When she wanted to divorce, she didn't plan to hide it from Qin Tang. said in a low voice: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Qin Tang was not surprised when he heard this, and looked at her in silence for a long time before he spoke: "If you make up your mind, leave this matter to Lawyer Yu, and he will handle it for you." ”

His tone was understated.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance, he didn't know what he thought, he nodded after a while, and said yes.

Speaking of these things, the atmosphere was undoubtedly a little depressing, but Qin Tang did not stay, and quickly changed the topic.

It was less than ten o'clock after the meal, Gu Shi'an originally wanted to go back by himself, but Qin Tang didn't let her and drove her back.

Gu Shi'an got out of the car at the gate of the community, waited for Qin Tang's car to drive away, and then slowly walked back to the community.

When she got downstairs in the community, she stopped, sat down on the edge of the flower bed, and was stunned. After a long time, she remembered that she was going to work at Gu's tomorrow, so she took a deep breath and went upstairs.

When she returned home, she didn't care if Chen Xiao could get by. After washing, she lay down on the bed.

Chen Xiao still has the key here in his hand, but this time he took the key and opened the door and came in. He knocked on the bedroom door, Gu Shi'an didn't open the door, but he quickly took a shower.

Gu Shi'an got up very early the next day and got up at seven o'clock. The chance of being bumped into in the past during normal working hours is high, so she simply went out early.

When she arrived at Gu's family, it was still early, and there were only a few people.

There was only one colleague who worked with her in the reference room, and the one she arrived early hadn't arrived yet, and it was the front desk who opened the door for her to find the key.

It is said to be a reference room, but in fact, it is only the most recent information. Sister Du, another colleague of the information, came over to take Gu Shi'an to familiarize herself with her, only to find out that all the information here is from the past three years. And not the previous one.

She had questions about this, and asked that Sister Gu Du, who was probably bored here, rolled her eyes, and said, "What do you want the previous information for?" Do you think you're running out of business? ”

She's a newcomer, and it's indeed a bit strange to ask about the previous information. She had to smile wryly, and said that she would ask casually, and then she didn't mention it again.

There are more things in the data room on Gu's side than Gu Shi'an's original company, and in addition to sorting out the materials, some people also come to look for them. You even have to send it to the office.

Gu Shi'an is not suitable to show her face now, so she invited Sister Du to dinner at noon. After complimenting him, he said that he was a newcomer and that it was not easy to find this job. The materials sent to the office are also sent by Sister Du, and she will send them when she is familiar with them and will not make any more mistakes.

Since ancient times, I thought that it was not a big deal to take people with short hands and eat people's soft mouths, and it was not a big deal to send information. Besides, Gu Shi'an is still so sensible, Sister Du responded happily. and talked to Gu Shi'an about the temper and taboos of the leaders who are not easy to get along with in various offices.

She has been with Gu for many years, and she often runs to the office, and she knows some gossip about almost every office.

Gu Shi'an was very interested, listened to Sister Du's gossip, and invited afternoon tea in the afternoon.

By the time it was time to get off work, the two were already very familiar, and Sister Du talked about this job like chicken ribs. and said that Gu Shi'an should not come in, and it is better to find a small company to work than in Gu's.

In previous years, Gu's was better, but in the past year, he often failed to pay his salary. Sometimes employees' wages are only paid for half a month in arrears.

In the past, several powerful executives in the company left because of this incident. The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

A company even has to pay wages in arrears for half a month, you can imagine how far it has come. Gu Shi'an listened with a reluctant smile.

Because he was afraid of being bumped into, Gu Shi'an was not in a hurry to leave after work. Sister Du has to wait for her husband to pick her up, and she is not in a hurry.

After complaining about the salary, she suddenly said: "A few days ago, I heard that Miss Gu was going to get engaged to the second son of President Qi's family, and when the two got married, maybe the funds would not be so tight." It's just that the second son is a big flower, and he dares to tease Mr. Gu's secretary in front of Mr. Gu. Tsk, it's not easy to be born in a wealthy family. ”

Sister Du sighed as she spoke.

Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment. Among the juniors of the Gu family, only Gu Su is the one who is not married now. The eldest lady Gu in Sister Du's mouth should be Gu Su.

But Gu Su's engagement is a big deal, and she hasn't heard of it at all. Moreover, the old lady did not mention it. Since she was going to get engaged, it was impossible for the old lady not to know. It's impossible not to mention it.

The only possibility is that the old lady doesn't know about it either.
