Probably because of Chen Xiao's meaningful appearance when he left, Gu Shi'an was a little uneasy all day. As for what is uneasy, she can't say it herself.

finally got through to work, but Chen Xiao didn't call.

Gu Shi'an was about to go to the car when he received a call from Chen Xiao's driver. said that Chen Xiao had something to do, there was a traffic jam on the road, he was at the fork in the road, come over immediately, and ask Gu Shi'an to wait.

Gu Shi'an had to stand at the intersection and wait, the wind and snow were a little heavy, blowing on her face with a cold patch.

The sky was overwhelmed by black clouds, as if there would be a bigger storm at any time. Gu Shi'an looked at it in a daze. Her mind was empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The traffic jam on a snowy day is very bad, usually just a few minutes of driving, and the driver is late after waiting for more than ten minutes.

Seeing Gu Shi'an, he was about to get out of the car and open the car door for her, but there was a traffic jam behind him, Gu Shi'an didn't wait for him to get out of the car, he opened the car door and sat in.

The car was warm and hot. Gu Shi'an's nose was a little breathless.

She carefully folded the umbrella and put it at her feet, and then asked, "Have you Mr. Chen gone back?" ”

The driver's face showed a little discomfort, scratched the back of his head, and said, "This...... I don't know, Mr. Chen won't explain his whereabouts to me. ”

But no, where Chen Xiao went, where did the people below know.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, and her cold hands and feet in the heating quickly warmed up, a little itchy.

The snow was falling. Most of the time the car is slowing down on the road. From time to time, there was the sound of an anxious horn in the traffic.

Gu Shi'an kept his mind empty and looked out the window.

This year's snow fell a little early, and last year it was almost the end of the year. This year is estimated to be another cold winter.

The traffic radio showed the news of the road conditions, and almost the whole city was congested. Gu Shi'an looked at the time, and inexplicably became a little anxious.

She looked down at the time from time to time, and the driver in front of her also noticed it, and asked tentatively, "Madame, are you in a hurry to go back?" ”

Gu Shi'an's anxiety came inexplicably, she nodded, shook her head again, and said no.

The car drove through the intersection in the center of the city and was finally able to drive smoothly. Rao is like this, it was already past eight o'clock when he returned to the old mansion.

Ye Qing saw Gu Shi'an entering the room in a cold air, and hurriedly said, "It's cold, isn't it?" I went to change my clothes and came down to eat, and I made soup in the kitchen, so I drank more later. ”

The old lady was not there, so Gu Shi'an looked in the direction of her bedroom and said, "Has grandma eaten it?" ”

Ye Qing nodded and said softly: "I've already eaten, I didn't rest at noon, I ate early and went to sleep." When she said this, she saw that Gu Shi'an's clothes were stained with water droplets, and said, "Why didn't the driver send you in, these clothes are all wet." Go upstairs and change, I'll serve you dinner. ”

Gu Shi'an went upstairs at Ye Qing's urging, and quickly changed his clothes and came down.

By the time we arrived at the restaurant, there was already a steaming meal on the table, including chicken soup with herbs, braised pork and sweet and sour fish, and a plate of verdant stir-fried greens.

Ye Qing served rice to Gu Shi'an, and half a bowl of soup. Gu Shi'an took it. He said, "Don't be busy, I'll do it myself." ”

Ye Qing smiled and sat down on the chair next to her. After a pause, she spoke, "Madame is back today, upstairs, don't be too loud when you go upstairs later." ”

Qi Shiyun rarely comes back, Gu Shi'an paused when he heard this, then smiled and nodded in response.

This meal was specially reserved for her, Gu Shi'an was halfway through eating, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did Chen Xiao eat it too?" ”

Hearing her ask about Chen Xiaolai, Aunt Ye's face was full of smiles and said, "Didn't he tell you?" He'll be back later today, so let's eat first, so we don't have to leave him food. ”

During this time, he went home on time almost every day. Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would leave early and come back early. I didn't expect him to come back yet.

She suddenly thought of Chen Xiao's meaningful smile this morning. Her vest was cold. Suddenly she remembered what he said last night that it was easy to get him, and she didn't believe what she said to wait and see.

Gu Shi'an's head was cold at this moment.

Chen Xiao has always gone home on time, and he didn't come back today after saying it last night. It seemed that he could imagine what he was going to do.

Gu Shi'an finally understood where his anxiety at that time came from.

But now, she can't let Aunt Ye find out anything wrong with her. She tried her best to control herself as usual, only eating a little faster.

Fortunately, she has also acted in a lot of dramas these days, although she was already anxious in her heart, but Aunt Ye didn't see it.

She quickly finished eating, smiled reluctantly and made an excuse to be tired and went upstairs.

When she got upstairs, she immediately closed the door and took out her mobile phone to call Qin Tang.

The call was quickly connected, but Qin Tang did not answer. Gu Shi'an dialed over and over again, and she couldn't calm down at all. Walking around the room restlessly.

Qin Tang didn't answer three calls in a row, and Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still anymore. Immediately put on your clothes and go out.

When she opened the door, she remembered that this was an old mansion, and she must have alarmed the old lady when she went out like that. She retreated back into the house.

The time was tormenting and long, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Aunt Ye finished cleaning up the kitchen and turned off the lights in the living room and returned to the room, then she secretly went downstairs and closed the door quietly.

When she got outside, she shuddered. She didn't stay long, and hurried out of the yard.

It is not as convenient to go out here as in the old mansion as it is in the wedding room between her and Chen Xiao. In addition, it was snowing heavily, and the cars on the road were coming and going in a hurry.

Finally, there were a few taxis, but they were occupied. Occasionally, I met someone who only carried one passenger, stopped and asked Gu Shi'an where he was going, but he didn't stop by and left again.

She stopped the car for about 20 minutes in the heavy snow before waiting for an empty car. The heating in the car was not warm, she didn't bring an umbrella when she came out, and it was even colder after the snowflakes that fell on her body melted. My feet were numb from the cold.

She was in a hurry, took out her mobile phone to see the time, searched through a few pockets and didn't find the phone, then she remembered that she was busy just now, and she didn't bring her mobile phone at all.

couldn't make a phone call, she had to urge the driver all the way to hurry up. Although the road back to the city was not as congested as when she returned to her old house, she still had to slow down occasionally.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still, and looked out the window from time to time to see something. When she got to the ground, she paid and got out of the car without waiting for the driver to be stable.

She had been to Qin Tang's residence twice, and she was familiar with it all the way. The security guard has a good memory, and he remembered her after seeing her twice. I heard that she came to Qin Tang and asked her to register her ID card and let her go upstairs.

On the elevator, Gu Shi'an kept staring at the numbers on the elevator, and walked out as soon as the elevator door opened.

She didn't bring a mobile phone, and she kept pressing the doorbell at Qin Tang's house when she couldn't make a call.

But as if against her, the door didn't open for a long time.

The corridor was empty, Gu Shi'an's mind was blank at the moment, she didn't bring her mobile phone, and she didn't even know where to find Qin Tang.

She tried to calm herself down, but she was full of anxiety. She lost her soul, knowing that waiting was not a way, but she didn't know where to go.

Just as she was dazed, the door opened.

Gu Shi'an turned around almost immediately and saw Qin Tang at a glance. He was wearing lounge clothes, his hair was wet, and he had probably been taking a shower.

Gu Shi'an was relieved the moment she saw him, her nerves had been tense for too long, and she shivered when she relaxed immediately. squeezed out a pale smile and said with relief, "You're here." ”

She looked a little embarrassed, and the boots on her shallow feet were already wet. The coat he was wearing outside was already wet when he stood in the snow and took the taxi.

Qin Tang's brows furrowed, but he didn't ask her why she was here, he quickly opened the door and said, "Come in." ”

It was almost eleven o'clock now, Gu Shi'an shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No, you're just at home." I'll go back first. ”

She said and turned to leave.

Qin Tang looked at her, repeated lightly, and said, "Come in." ”

His tone was entirely commanding. Gu Shi'an's figure froze, and in the end he still followed Qin Tang into the house.

Her shoes were wet, and she entered the house with care. I took off my shoes at the door.

Qin Tang motioned for her to take off her socks that were also wet, then turned up the heating in the room higher, and took a towel to Gu Shi'an to let her wipe her wet hair.

After doing all this, he poured Gu Shi'an a cup of hot start, and then went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.

Gu Shi'an's whole body was already frozen, and after drinking a glass of water in one go, his body warmed up.

She hesitated slightly, walked to the kitchen door, and said, "Mr. Qin, it's not early, I still have to go back." ”

Qin Tang was cooking ginger soup, and when he heard this, he said lightly: "I have already asked someone to send clothes over, if you go out like this, you will catch a cold tonight." Drink the ginger soup later, and people will come over soon. ”

Gu Shi'an was silent now, and after standing for a while, he returned to the sofa and continued to sit down.

Qin Tang's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long for him to bring a cup of brown sugar ginger soup and put it in front of Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an thought that he would have to trouble him when he came over, and said thank you in a low voice.

Qin Tang didn't ask her what she was doing here, and motioned for her to drink it while it was hot.

There was no sound in the living room for a while, and Gu Shi'an was about to say that Chen Xiao might make trouble with Qin Tang. But when the words come to the mouth, they are difficult to speak. Finally, she said seriously: "You have to be careful lately, go out...... Don't leave people around you. ”

Qin Tang didn't know Chen Xiao's ability, but she knew it.

If he was just a pure white rabbit, Chen Zhengkang would have turned the sky upside down, and he wouldn't be so scared of him.

As he himself said, he was also a snake in Lincheng.

She's socializing. I have seen him and the tattooed underworld brother who is known as the tyrant of Lincheng call him a brother and a brother.

I have also seen him and the mayor and government dignitaries in the city pushing cups and changing lamps.

She didn't know Qin Tang's identity very well, but in any case, she understood the truth that a strong dragon did not suppress the head snake.

She already owes Qin Tang too much favor, and she can't let him be implicated by Chen Xiao because of her.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that Qin Tang was going to ask something, but he didn't ask anything, just nodded lightly and said that he knew.

The living room was silent for a while, and Qin Tang raised his wrist to look at the time. His people's work efficiency is high, and as soon as Gu Shi'an finished drinking the brown sugar ginger soup in the cup, the doorbell was ringed.

The people who came not only brought clothes to Gu Shi'an, but also shoes and socks. It's late at night, and I don't know where he got these things so quickly.

She said she was leaving, and Qin Tang didn't leave her. Let her change into dry shoes and socks, and then say, "Let the driver take you back." ”

Gu Shi'an shook his head, squeezed out a smile, and said, "No, it's not early." I'll just take a taxi back by myself, Mr. Qin, you can rest early. ”

It's really not too early. It's going to be twelve o'clock when you go back to the old house.

Qin Tang didn't insist, took the key, and said, "Let's go, I'll send you down to take a taxi." ”

Gu Shi'an was originally going to refuse, but Qin Tang had already picked up his coat.

The neighborhood was silent in the middle of the night, and after a while the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow, and it creaked when stepping on it.

The car here is much easier to stop than the old mansion, Qin Tang quickly stopped it, and explained a few words to the driver. This allowed Gu Shi'an to get in the car.

Gu Shi'an quickly got into the car, thanked him again, and then closed the window.

The car drove away quickly in the heavy snow, Qin Tang stood in place for a while, until the driver covered the umbrella above his head, he came back to his senses and walked towards the community.

So running back and forth, Gu Shi'an was very tired. When I got into the car, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, probably because I was too nervous just now. Her head was a little groggy.

Although the road was smooth when I went back, it was still past twelve o'clock when I arrived at the old house.

When Gu Shi'an got out of the car to pay the driver's money, he learned that Qin Tang had already paid just now.

The driver was instructed by Qin Tang, parked the car and watched Gu Shi'an enter the yard, and then drove away.

At night, the old house was already silent, but fortunately, Aunt Ye gave her the key to the house when she moved over. She entered the house without alerting anyone.

When she changed her shoes, she didn't see Chen Xiao's shoes, and she knew that he hadn't come back yet.

She was faintly relieved, she went upstairs gently, changed her clothes, and found that she was very thirsty. She went downstairs again to pour water to drink.

As soon as I arrived at the staircase this time, I saw Qi Shiyun standing at the other end of the corridor. She was wearing a dressing gown. A look of indifference.

She had already returned to the room, Gu Shi'an's movements were light enough, and I don't know if she was woken up by her when she came back just now.

But seeing that he had to say hello, Gu Shi'an called Mom, and then said Haven't you slept yet?

Qi Shiyun glanced at her lightly and did not answer her words. Wu went downstairs.

Gu Shi'an didn't go downstairs or go back to the room, so he had to follow downstairs as well.

Qi Shiyun should have also come down to pour water to drink, so Gu Shi'an stepped forward quickly and poured her a glass of water.

There was no sound in the living room for a while. Gu Shi'an was about to pour the second glass of water when the sound of the car's engine came from the yard, and Chen Xiao came back.

Gu Shi'an put down the cup at this time, walked over and opened the door.

Chen Xiao's movements were fast, and he had already found the door as soon as she opened it. Probably because he saw that Qi Shiyun was also there, he called his mother and asked Qi Shiyun why he hadn't slept yet. As he spoke, he easily held Gu Shi'an's hand.

Gu Shi'an's hands were cold, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "Daughter-in-law, why are your hands so cold?" ”

She had just come back from outside, how could her hands not be cold.

In front of Qi Shiyun, Gu Shi'an couldn't withdraw his hand, so he said, "It's your hand that's too hot." ”

Chen Xiao clenched her hand in his palm at this time, chuckled, and said, "Is it hot?" Then I'll give you warmth. ”

He didn't care that Qi Shiyun was still there, and pulled Gu Shi'an's other hand into the palm of his hand.

Qi Shiyun's brows furrowed slightly, glanced at Gu Shi'an lightly, dropped a sentence of not early, rested early, and went upstairs directly.

Chen Xiao's body smelled of wine, and Qi Shiyun's figure disappeared upstairs and he let go of her hand. took off his coat and threw it aside, and motioned for Gu Shi'an to pour water for him.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and quickly poured water for him. Chen Xiao took it, but did not drink it. Just resting on the small table in front of him.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about him, poured a glass of water and drank it, and then went upstairs.

She had just returned to the room, and Chen Xiao followed back to the room.

He had already become a human spirit, sat down on the sofa with the glass of water that Gu Shi'an poured for him, and asked casually, "Daughter-in-law, did you come back late today?" ”

Gu Shi'an's figure stiffened and said, "No." ”

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows at this time, looked at her with a smile or not, and said, "Then your hands are so cold, are you waiting for me to come back and freeze?" ”

Gu Shi'an said lightly: "You think too much, my hands and feet are cold in winter." After a slight pause, she looked at Chen Xiao with a little bit of sarcasm, and asked, "Is this also a crime?" ”

Chen Xiao took the glass of water and sipped it slowly, and said slowly: "Of course not." He paused when he said this, and looked at Gu Shi'an with a smile. said: "But daughter-in-law, don't you know, this outer courtyard is monitored." ”

Gu Shi'an's body stiffened at this moment.

Chen Xiao drank a few sips of water, put the water glass down, got up and walked to the bathroom, stopped when he walked to Gu Shi'an's side, leaned into her ear, and continued with a smile: "So daughter-in-law, lying is not a good habit. What are you doing in your heart? This silent entry and exit, what is it to do unseemly? ”

He was like a poisonous snake spitting a snake letter, as if he would bite down hard at any moment.

Gu Shi'an closed his eyes. When it comes to scheming, where will she be Chen Xiao's opponent?

She didn't know what Chen Xiao knew, but at this moment, she couldn't be weak-hearted. She raised her head and met Chen Xiao's eyes, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Even if I sell myself into slavery, I think I should still have the freedom and privacy that I deserve." ”

Chen Xiao laughed low and said, "Privacy? Well, it's supposed to be private. ”

Gu Shi'an originally thought that he would pursue it. But he didn't, and he went straight to the bathroom.

She breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, the palms of my hands were already damp with sweat. Exhausted, she went to bed and shrunk into the covers and closed her eyes.

This night was full of wind and snow, Gu Shi'an slept deeply, and he didn't even know if Chen Xiao had gone to bed.

When she woke up the next day, she was the only one in the room, her eyebrows hurt a little, she reached out and pressed it hard, and then got up.

When they went downstairs, Qi Shiyun and the old lady were already sitting at the dining table. When the old lady saw her, she smiled and asked her to come over for breakfast.

Gu Shi'an walked over quickly, greeted Qi Shiyun, and then sat down.

The old lady felt sorry for Gu Shi'an, so she asked Ye Qing to serve her porridge, and then said: "Chen Xiao is on a business trip early, don't worry if you eat slowly, let the driver send you later." Don't rush to leave after work, wait for the driver to pass. ”

Gu Shi'an smiled and responded. Originally, I wanted to ask the old lady how she felt these days, but she didn't open her mouth yet. Qi Shiyun, who was sitting on the side, said slowly: "Mom, it's the New Year soon, I plan to organize a banquet in a few days, and invite the ladies who have dealings with the company." ”

This is the New Year, and there should be human contacts. It's just that most of the old ladies used to be socializing.

She could think that these old ladies were pleased, so she nodded and said, "You can just watch it." When the time comes, bring the list to me and show it, don't miss anything. ”

Qi Shiyun smiled slightly and said yes.

After speaking, her eyes fell on Gu Shi'an's body, and her tone also faded, saying: "Shi'an will also help me fight that day, and these will be handed over to you sooner or later." ”

She has always disliked Gu Shi'an, but now she took the initiative to show her goodwill, how could the old lady not agree, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you don't say that I still forgot." When the time comes, try to take the weekend time, An An just rests to help you. ”

The old lady patted Gu Shi'an's hand as she spoke, and then said, "It's good to save up more experience." Later on, it will be handy. ”

Yes, in such a family, it is inevitable that people from the outside will have contacts.

It's just that Qi Shiyun took the initiative to ask her to help, which is something wrong. She has always disliked her, how could she suddenly figure it out?

The old lady spoke, Gu Shi'an had to come down anyway. smiled and responded, looked at Qi Shiyun again, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't understand a lot of things, and I have to bother your mother to give me more guidance when the time comes." ”

Qi Shiyun hummed lightly.

The strangeness and politeness between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to this point can be regarded as a kind of realm.

The old lady is an old man, how can she not feel it. Kindly comforted Gu Shi'an and told her not to be nervous, and to take her time when the time came. If you have something unclear, don't make your own decisions, ask more.

Gu Shi'an responded one by one.

In the end, she still felt that today's Qi Shiyun was a little abnormal, and she was stunned when she was in the car. Suddenly, I remembered what she said when she went to her and Chen Xiao's wedding room, and the time she met her shopping with a girl in the mall.

Gu Shi'an reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and exhaled softly.
