CHAPTER XXXVII

Shen Jiayi pushed open the office door and walked in, when Gu Minglang was sitting on the office chair to deal with official business, Shen Jiayi took a deep breath, adjusted herself to the best state, and walked to Gu Minglang and sat down.

"Bright, I'm back."

Gu Minglang put down the documents in his hand, looked at Shen Jiayi and asked, "How was the discussion?" ”

Shen Jiayi raised the document in her hand and smiled brightly, "I, Shen Jiayi, are out of the horse, you still don't worry." Well, it's already signed. ”

Shen Jiayi handed the document to Gu Minglang, and Gu Minglang glanced at it roughly, "I have always been relieved that you do things." ”

"It's time to get off work, let's go eat. Whatever you want to eat, I invite you. Gu Minglang looked at the time and sorted out the documents at hand.

Shen Jiayi has just signed such a big case, and she should really be treated well.

Shen Jiayi walked to Gu Minglang's side, and grabbed Gu Minglang's arm with a smile, with a slight coquettishness, "Okay, I'm not polite this time." Think about it...... I heard that a new western restaurant has opened nearby, and it tastes good, so let's go there. ”

Gu Minglang's brows furrowed slightly, he raised his hand to push Shen Jiayi's arm away, and his voice was a little cold, "This is the company, and the impact is not good." ”

Shen Jiayi's eyes flashed with loss, but this look flashed too quickly, as if it had never appeared, making people unable to touch or see.

"Why are you so serious, it's just a joke. Okay, let's go eat. Shen Jiayi immediately packed up her emotions, as if nothing had happened, and pulled Gu Minglang out.

*********

Restaurant

"Hello, what do you need?"

"Give the menu to this young lady." Gu Minglang opened his mouth to signal.

Shen Jiayi took the menu from the waiter, looked through it carefully, and pointed out her favorite dish to the waiter, "This, this, and this, in duplicate." ”

"Okay, please wait."

Gu Minglang watched Shen Jiayi return the menu to the waiter, and chuckled, "Don't you ask me what I want to eat?" ”

"Since I have said something, I will eat, of course I will listen to what I eat. Besides, after so many years with you, I still know your tastes. Shen Jiayi smiled.

"You're so confident, what if I suddenly change my taste today?"

Shen Jiayi raised her hand to pull her long curly hair to the side, held the table with her hand, supported her cheeks, and said with a smile: "Of course." If you suddenly change your tastes...... Then we can only ask President Gu Da to settle down, because our dishes have already been ordered. ”

Gu Minglang smiled but did not speak.

"Minglang, don't you really think about what I told you last time, it's more conducive to the development of the company, and I'm ...... with you" Shen Jiayi thought about it and mentioned this matter, if, if he can agree now, she will have time to stop now.

But Shen Jiayi was interrupted by Gu Minglang before she finished speaking, "Jiayi, I have already made this matter very clear to you last time, there is absolutely no such possibility, and now the company's development is quite good, your proposal ...... I'm sorry. ”

"But my father said ......" Shen Jiayi hurriedly explained, wanting to fight for a chance, but Gu Minglang didn't give her this opportunity, "You thank my uncle for his kindness." ”

"Why? You know that my company's technical resources can be said to be the leader in this area, but you just gave up choosing such a small company? Is it because of Zhuo Anran? Is it because she's there, because she's the person in charge of the project? ”

Gu Minglang didn't explain more in the face of Shen Jiayi's questioning, but just said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you." ”

"Hehe, Gu Minglang, are you acquiescing?" Shen Jiayi smiled and asked sneeringly.

"It's none of her business."

Shen Jiayi was a little angry, and her voice unconsciously rose higher, "It's okay? Gu Minglang, are you defending her? It's all at this time, and you're still protecting her?! Don't forget, she's someone else's girlfriend now! ”

"Shen Jiayi!" Gu Minglang let out a low sigh.

Shen Jiayi's words fell on Gu Minglang's heart like a huge thunderbolt, and it exploded, making him so painful. How could he not know these things that Shen Jiayi said, but he just couldn't let go of her, and when he dreamed back at midnight, all he remembered was the time with her when he was young, sweet and happy, and it made him nostalgic.

"Excuse me." The waiter brought the dish he had just ordered, which eased the oppressive atmosphere between the two.

"Your dishes are ready, please use them slowly, I wish you a happy meal."

Gu Minglang picked up the knife and fork, skillfully cut the steak on the plate, put it in front of Shen Jiayi, and said lightly, "Let's eat first." ”

Shen Jiayi looked at him opposite, elegant and gentlemanly, always so caring. His expression was faint, as if the quarrel just now had never happened, and it was all her one-man show. Just such a subtle gesture shone into her heart like a warm sunshine, making her unable to get angry with him, and swallowing her anger little by little.

Shen Jiayi still compromised, picked up the knife and fork, and calmly finished the meal with him.

Out of the Western restaurant, Gu Minglang had just opened the car door and was about to take Shen Jiayi back to the company with him, when he heard Shen Jiayi's voice calling him behind him, "Minglang, do you like me, even if it's a little bit of it." I've never asked you in all these years, and today I want an answer. ”

Gu Minglang didn't expect her to ask like this suddenly, he was slightly stunned, and quickly gave her an answer, "I'm sorry, I thank you for helping me all the time, but I still want to say that I don't like you." ”

Gu Minglang's answer was too calm and crisp, which made her a little unacceptable for a while, even if she was usually so good at demonstrating and hiding her emotions, her loss, sadness, and unbelievable emotions at the moment were completely displayed on her face, and tears flowed down in an instant.

She thought that he would like her a little bit over the years, otherwise how could he be so caring to her and take care of her so much. She forgot that this was the way he treated people, and that her care was only for her help in the past few years.

"Gu Minglang, what am I inferior to her? Am I not good? Am I not pretty? Is my family background bad? You tell me what I can't do as good as her?! Shen Jiayi's mood collapsed a little, and she grabbed Gu Minglang's arm hard and asked loudly.

Gu Minglang tried his best to soothe her emotions, "You are very good, you are better than her, you are more beautiful than her, and you are much more convenient than her, it's just ......"

"It's just a ......" Shen Jiayi looked at him with wide eyes as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and was so full of expectation that he couldn't bear it a little, and he couldn't bear to break her hope, but he had to follow his heart.

"It's just that the person in my heart is not you."

At that moment, it was as if the world had collapsed, her eyes were out of focus, she couldn't even cry, she let go of the arm that was grabbing Gu Minglang's sleeve, turned around and walked out.

"Jiayi!" Gu Minglang hurriedly grabbed Shen Jiayi's arm, but she shook it off suddenly, and roared like a trapped beast, "You get out!" ”

Gu Minglang was stunned by her yelling, he had never seen Shen Jiayi like this. He hurriedly stopped in front of Shen Jiayi and grabbed her, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Jiayi pushed him away vigorously, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she stumbled under her feet and almost fell. Gu Minglang wanted to reach out to help her, but she took a step back, "Leave me alone!" ”

She looked up at him, suddenly cried, and pointed to the location of her heart, "Gu Minglang, is it okay for you to let me be alone quietly, I am so painful here." ”

Gu Minglang looked at her, she looked helpless and desperate at the moment, and scolded herself fiercely in her heart. His good qualities told him that he should go up and stop her at this time, and he should not let a girl who has lost her soul walk alone on the street. But he couldn't, he couldn't give her hope, so he could only silently watch her leave alone.

At this time, Shen Jiayi, who was strolling on the street, didn't care about the makeup on her face, her heart was empty, and her head was also empty. There was a pain in that part of her chest, and she couldn't breathe anymore.

And she suddenly crouched on the side of the street, crying loudly.
