After eating the hot pot for a long time, Jiang Xichen was still unsatisfied, he pulled Jiang Zhiyan's sleeve and asked Jiang Zhiyan when the next time he ate hot pot, which made Jiang Zhiyan and Gu Xishen laugh.

When Jiang Zhiyan bathed Jiang Xichen, Gu Xishen was helping to clean up the mess.

When Jiang Zhiyan helped Jiang Xichen take a bath, carried him back to the room and successfully put him to sleep, Gu Xishen had already packed up the dining table and kitchen, and the garbage was also packed and put outside the door.

"It's not too early, I'll go back first, you also rest early, there will be a meeting tomorrow." Gu Xishen buttoned the last cuff and put on his blazer and said.

Jiang Zhiyan nodded, put on her coat again, and said, "I'll send you down, and by the way, the two of us will take a walk in the community and chat." ”

Gu Xishen nodded, and the two walked out together.

At this time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the community were almost all extinguished, leaving only a few scattered houses with the lights on.

"Are you worried about how you will face Fu Shenheng tomorrow?" Gu Xishen suddenly asked, Jiang Zhiyan's reaction during the day today, after he returned to the office, he thought about it for a long time, Jiang Zhiyan What did she figure out, thinking about Wang Ke's expression carefully, he could probably guess that he should have figured out something related to Fu Shenheng.

"No, Wang Ke enlightened me today, and I figured it out at once," Jiang Zhiyan shook her head with a smile, and said: "His mother killed my mother, and abandoned me when I was in the most difficult time, I really can't accept being with him anymore." ”

Jiang Zhiyan lowered her head, her expression was a little bitter, even if she said this, she still felt very bad in her heart, after all, she was the person she once loved, and Jiang Zhiyan also gave birth to a child for him.

Walking and the two stopped, Gu Xishen turned around and grabbed Jiang Zhiyan's shoulders, let her face him, and then said with a serious expression: "In that case, why don't you think about being with me?" ”

Jiang Zhiyan was obviously frightened by his sudden confession, and froze in place, she didn't know what Gu Xishen thought about her, but Gu Xishen never said it clearly, and Jiang Zhiyan also pretended to be stupid every time she went with the flow.

"I know you still have Fu Shenheng's place in your heart, but the best way to let go of one relationship is to start another relationship, Ayan, I'm serious, let me take care of you in the future." Gu Xishen's eyes were dyed with a look of pain, this forbearance of love was too painful.

Jiang Zhiyan bit her lip, turned her head, and avoided Gu Xishen's eyes, her mood was really complicated, Gu Xishen was really a good man, but she still couldn't accept it, obviously she and Gu Xishen were friends, how could they be partners.

"I'm sorry, Xi Shen, I can't hurt you so selfishly." After speaking, he shook off Gu Xishen's hand and turned around and ran in the direction of home.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyan's back and running away, Gu Xishen was in great pain in his heart, first, why did he not stabilize himself and say the love in his heart, and second, Jiang Zhiyan refused too directly.

Ah Yan, do you know, even if it is your injury, I am willing to do it.

Jiang Zhiyan, who returned to the apartment, as soon as she entered the door, she didn't even have time to turn on the light, so she slowly slid down against the door and sat on the ground, remembering Gu Xishen's words just now, remembering Gu Xishen's eyes just now, Jiang Zhiyan was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to describe it.

It didn't take long for a text message to come in on the phone: Ayan, I know it's really difficult for you to accept me now, it's okay I can wait, I've been waiting for five years, I don't mind another five years. Well, don't think about it, just get some rest. See you tomorrow at the company.

Seeing this text message, Jiang Zhiyan couldn't help but shed tears, Gu Xishen was like a big brother who had been taking care of her for her, and she never thought that the two of them would have anything to do emotionally.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhiyan looked at herself in the mirror with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and her mood was still complicated, because of Gu Xishen's words, Jiang Zhiyan didn't fall asleep all night, Jiang Zhiyan sighed, she has always had light makeup, and finally had to draw herself a heavy makeup that can cover the dark circles.

After arriving at the company, Wang Ke was already in the conference room preparing things for the meeting, Jiang Zhiyan returned to his office, looking for the documents that were sorted out yesterday, and after finding them, he was about to go to the conference room, at this time Gu Xishen came in.

Jiang Zhiyan was startled at first, thinking of last night's scene, and quickly reacted: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Gu?" ”

"It's okay, I'll just come and have a look." Gu Xishen had a weak smile on his face, if you look closely, you will find that Gu Xishen's mental state is not very good, it seems that he didn't sleep all night last night.

"Then Mr. Gu, I'll go to the conference room first." Jiang Zhiyan smiled, her eyes avoiding Gu Xishen. was about to open the door of the office, but was stopped by Gu Xishen, and with a force, he was pulled into Gu Xishen's arms.

"Don't move, let me hold it." Gu Xi said in a hoarse voice, "Just for a while." ”

Gu Xishen, who returned home last night, also tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep, he regretted telling Jiang Zhiyan his mind so early, if Jiang Zhiyan minded too much, he wouldn't even be able to be a friend in the future, how could he continue to stay by Jiang Zhiyan's side? I thought about it like this, and I kept thinking about the dawn, but I couldn't figure it out.

After arriving at the company, Gu Xi pondered for a long time, and decided to come to see Jiang Zhiyan, and the moment he saw Jiang Zhiyan's horror at him, he suddenly understood that he was really too reckless last night.

"I was too reckless last night, Ah Yan forget it, let's be friends, let me continue to accompany you, don't alienate me." There was a hint of crying in Gu Xishen's voice, and his body unconsciously fluctuated with excitement.

Jiang Zhiyan sighed in her heart, finally stretched out her hand, smoothed his breath behind his back, and said: "How could I be alienated from you, you have a special meaning to me, but now I really can't be with you." ”

Hearing Jiang Zhiyan's words, Gu Xishen grabbed Jiang Zhiyan's arm with both hands, looked directly into her eyes, and asked excitedly, "What you said is true?" ”

"How could I have lied to you?" Jiang Zhiyan also smiled.

"Alright, you go to a meeting." Gu Xishen finally broke into tears and laughed, made a way, and helped her open the door of the office, can Jiang Zhiyan accept herself later, at least now Jiang Zhiyan will not alienate herself because of her recklessness last night.

Jiang Zhiyan smiled, took the folder in his hand and walked towards the conference room.

At half past eight, ten minutes before the start of the meeting, the people from the Fu Group never appeared, Jiang Zhiyan frowned and looked at the time on the watch, and wondered. Fu Shenheng has always been a person with a particularly strong sense of time, how can it be at this point, and the person has not yet arrived.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and it was Fu Shenheng's assistant who led in, not Fu Shenheng himself. The little assistant said with a smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Jiang has been waiting for a long time, there is a slight traffic jam on the road." ”

"It's okay, Assistant Luo, please take a seat." Although Jiang Zhiyan was puzzled in her heart, she still maintained this smile on her face, and after everyone from the Fu Group sat down, she asked, "May I ask Assistant Luo, why didn't Mr. Fu come in person this time?" ”

"Mr. Fu has been entangled in some more personal things recently, so I can't leave, and I ask Mr. Jiang to forgive me." The little assistant's name is Luo Song, who is also a more famous assistant in the city, and he followed Fu Shenheng five years ago and helped Fu Shenheng negotiate many big projects.

"Oh yes, let's get started." Jiang Zhiyan smiled awkwardly, private matter? Could it be a wedding with Su Yunxi? There are five mixed tastes in my heart.

Although Fu Shenheng was not there, because of Luo Song's amazing ability, the meeting ended smoothly.

"Assistant Luo is really powerful, Mr. Fu came to the meeting in person before, I didn't appreciate Assistant Luo's ability, and when I saw it today, it really lived up to the rumors." After the meeting, Jiang Zhiyan stood up and stretched out her hand to Luo Song, she really admired Luo Song's ability, if he was not from the Fu Group, Jiang Zhiyan would definitely do everything possible to dig Luo Song over and use it for the Gu Group.

"Mr. Jiang has won the award." Out of politeness, Luo Song also stretched out his hand.

When the two hands were held together, the sharp-eyed Jiang Zhiyan saw the scotch tape on Luo Song's cuffs, and following her memory, Jiang Zhiyan remembered that it was the tape used to fix the infusion tube when the hospital hung a drip.

Noticing Jiang Zhiyan's eyes, Luo Song also looked at his cuffs, and the moment he saw the tape, he suddenly began to sweat on his head, why was he so careless, so he hurriedly buckled the tape and held it in his hand.

It's all because this morning, because Fu Shenheng didn't want Mrs. Fu to work too hard, and he didn't want to see Su Yunxi, so he didn't let the two of them accompany him, but let Luo Song accompany him.

Before leaving the hospital in the morning and coming to Gu's Group, Fu Shenheng's drip had just been completed, Luo Song originally wanted to ring the call bell and ask the nurse to pull out the needle, but because Fu Shenheng was eaten tofu when he pricked the needle, he was a little disgusted with the nurse, so he asked Luo Song to help pull out the needle.

Luo Song put the tape that he tore off on the sleeve of his suit, and after pulling out the needle tremblingly, he only cared about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and there was not much time left before the meeting, so Luo Song completely forgot that there was still tape on the sleeve.

Luo Song felt that his back was getting wet, and he pushed his glasses in a panic to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Zhiyan raised her eyebrows, looked at Luo Song and said, "Assistant Luo is sick?" ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, these two days may be because of the change of seasons, and I don't feel very comfortable. Luo Song hurriedly followed Jiang Zhiyan's words and said in his heart that he was fortunate not to suspect Fu Shenheng.

"In that case, Assistant Luo should go back and rest early, if something happens to our Gu family, we won't be able to explain it to Mr. Fu." Jiang Zhiyan said after smiling. "Wang Ke, send off."

Wang Ke on the side nodded, and made a gesture of invitation, how dare Luo Song stay longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Zhiyan and left in a hurry.

As soon as Wang Ke returned to the president's office, he was called to the office by Jiang Zhiyan, "Do you think Luo Song is really sick?" Jiang Zhiyan narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Huh? Just now I was wondering why you suddenly asked Assistant Luo if he was sick. Wang Ke scratched her head and said suspiciously, she didn't see the tape on Luo Song's cuffs, so she didn't know the purpose of Jiang Zhiyan's question.

"When I first shook hands, I saw two small pieces of tape on his cuffs, the kind of tape that holds the IV tubes in place, but there were no pinholes on the back of his hands." Jiang Zhiyan explained slowly to Wang Ke.

"So Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" Wang Ke frowned, she still didn't quite understand.

"I just approached him and smelled the smell of disinfectant on his body, and it seemed that he had not been in the hospital for too long." The more Jiang Zhiyan's brows became more and more furrowed, she had an ominous premonition, Fu Shenheng was unable to come to the meeting in person today, and the private matter in Luo Song's mouth may be that Fu Shenheng was hospitalized.
