Following.

On the way to pick up Ji Xincheng for dinner after work, Gu Shaoze talked about letting her terminate the contract with Shang Xuan's company again.

"Returning to the Gu family will be more beneficial to your future development."

He mentioned it last night, but Ji Xincheng didn't answer positively at that time.

At this time, she mentioned it again, I am afraid that it is not just a casual remark, she has to think about it before answering.

Ji Xincheng sat in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at the man's angular side face, thought about it, and said seriously:

"Shang Xuan's company has just been established, I should be regarded as the most confident artist she can sign at present, and can bring more resources to the company, if I leave now, it will not be of any benefit to her, and it may even affect her company's reputation in the industry. Gu Shaoze, we said okay last night, if you can, we will try our best to compensate her, huh? ”

She pursed her lips and looked soft, as if she was playing with him.

Gu Shaoze glanced at the woman, and even though he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything after all.

Although she only wears light makeup today, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows make him linger for a long time.

Involuntarily, Gu Shaoze raised his hand and scraped it on her small and round nose to relieve the anger in his heart.

Ji Xincheng was slightly stunned, then dodged with a smile, and took advantage of the situation to hold his big hand in his palm.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

First of all, of course she wanted to help Shang Xuan, but more because she didn't want to rely on Gu Shaoze in her career.

Even if Gu Shaoze is indeed very different from her before, in the end, the Gu family has not recognized her, and she always cares and is uneasy about it in her heart, which makes it impossible for her to completely surrender herself......

The car stopped at the roundabout in front of the restaurant, Gu Shaoze handed the key to the waiter who parked the car, and personally came over to open the door for Ji Xincheng.

Ji Xincheng was still a little distracted, and was teased by Gu Shaoze's hand on his waist, and he was completely refreshed.

"Gu Shaoze! In public, you ......"

Ji Xincheng was afraid of itching, so he had to try his best to hide in his arms, and sure enough, when he saw Gu Shaoze's success, he was smiling at her.

"What's wrong with being in public, can't hug your wife?"

He closed the car door in a low voice, and led her inside, unexpectedly innocent.

Ji Xincheng held his hand to prevent him from messing around, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to his surroundings, seeing Gu Shaoze like this, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded him:

"Not serious!"

Gu Shaoze seemed to be in a good mood, not only did he not mind, but he also played tricks in her ear:

"Is this not serious? Then if I kiss you now, will Mrs. Gu scold me for being a hooligan? ”

"You dare!"

Ji Xincheng's steps were sluggish, and he immediately warned the man with his eyes.

She didn't want to expose her intimate relationship with Gu Shaoze too quickly in the public eye.

At least for the moment, she wasn't ready.

The smile in Gu Shaoze's eyes deepened, and before he could say anything, he bumped into an acquaintance head-on.

Shang Xuan was wearing a plain long skirt and a gray and white thin leather coat, and her overall dress was more than a little more restrained than usual, which could almost be called a soft tone, which made her whole aura different.

Ji Xincheng looked at Shang Xuan in a daze, and then looked at the man standing side by side with her. The man's figure is tall and tall, which should be comparable to Gu Shaoze, but his facial features have a mixed-race temperament, and his demeanor has a touch of beauty, which is very recognizable.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji, what a coincidence!"

Seeing Ji Xincheng, Shang Xuan was also stunned, and she took the initiative to greet the two.

"Ah Xuan......"

Ji Xincheng blurted out that it was the old name in his memory, and at the same time remembered Shang Xuan's indifference in asking her to call it 'Shang Producer', he couldn't help but be silent, and Gu Shaoze, who originally maintained a very intimate posture, also stood up straight at this time, quietly pulling away from him.

This realization made Gu Shaoze quite unhappy, and he couldn't help but say that he took the woman into his arms.

Ji Xincheng wanted to earn, but he didn't make a big move, so he secretly worked hard, and soon his cheeks turned red.

Shang Xuan saw the small movements between the two in his eyes, only when Ji Xincheng was empty-hearted, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Shaoze didn't look at Shang Xuan at a glance, but said directly to the man beside her:

"Mr. Si is also dining here?"

Gu Shaoze's neglect of Shang Xuan was too obvious.

Si Qian frowned, but he still stretched out his hand politely.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see!"

The two men shook hands politely, and Si Qian's eyes quickly fell on Ji Xincheng.

"I really envy Mr. Gu, there are always so many excellent ladies by my side! Recently, I often hear Miss Ji's name, Miss Ji's acting skills are exquisite, not only a good actor, but also an excellent girlfriend, otherwise she would not stand by our capable Mr. Gu! ”

Si Qian's Chinese has a foreigner's accent, but the words are clear, and although he smiles at Ji Xincheng, there is not much warmth in his eyes.

Gu Shaoze heard the voiceover, smiled playfully, and then his eyes swept over Shang Xuan lightly, and replied unceremoniously:

"Each other, Mr. Si is not bad today!"

As soon as Gu Shaoze's words came out, Si Qian on the other side immediately smiled coldly.

Ji Xincheng tugged at the corner of the man's clothes and reminded him not to go too far, he didn't want Gu Shaoze to turn a blind eye, but became more and more aggressive:

"Si is always Gu's important partner, everyone works together for a win-win situation, and it is also appropriate to help each other in life, so some words are still worth reminding Mr. Si, looking for a lover can not just look at the face, or it is safer to know the roots, what does Mr. Si think?"

The meaning of these words is obvious, pointing to Shang Xuan's unclean past.

Gu Shaoze, Gu Shaoze, didn't you deliberately target Shang Xuan?

Ji Xincheng cautiously glanced at Shang Xuan opposite, expressionless.

Ji Xincheng was anxious, and when he didn't know what to do with Gu Shaoze, he saw Si Qian take Shang Xuan's left hand, show the ring on the ring fingers of the two of them, and say to Gu Shaoze: "I'm sorry Mr. Gu, this is my fiancée, Shang Xuan, I forgot to introduce it just now." However, Mr. Gu's reminder is also very precious, I think it should be your experience, unfortunately I don't need it, but Mr. Gu, you probably can still use it yourself. ”

Gu Shaozehuan's hand on Ji Xincheng's waist, when Si Qianyi looked at Ji Xincheng, he immediately took it:

"Oh? Coincidentally, this is my wife, Ji Xincheng, who just signed into the company of the fiancée of the president, and it turned out that they were all their own people. ”

Ji Xincheng's heart tightened, she didn't expect Gu Shaoze to introduce her to others so generously.

Looking at him, his gaze accidentally mistook Shang Xuan, only to realize that Shang Xuan was looking at her coldly.

Ji Xincheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and then heard Shang Xuan say: "Since this is the case, it is better for everyone to sit down and dine together." ”

Her voice was calm and easygoing, as if she hadn't noticed the cynicism she had just had, or if she didn't care at all......

Ji Xincheng pondered, and Gu Shaoze had already agreed: "Okay, the room on the second floor has a better view, two of you, please!" ”

"Mr. Gu, please!"

Looking at Gu Shaoze and Si Qian, they are also humble gentlemen, where is there just a little-for-tat.

Ji Xincheng was a little broken and wondered, is it because she is an actor and her nerves are too sensitive?

But soon, it turned out that it wasn't Ji Xincheng who thought too much.

Because when ordering, the two men competed again.

Gu Shaoze said that Ji Xincheng likes to eat seafood, and asked the kitchen to serve Ji Xincheng according to his suggestion with what he thinks is the best seafood cooking method.

Si Qian said that Shang Xuan has been a vegetarian all year round, and he changed his method to let the kitchen prepare Shang Xuan in the most appropriate proportion and in the most suitable way he had confirmed.

So the dinner on a table stunned the two foreign chefs.

Ji Xincheng suddenly felt a little speechless, the nerves that had been tense had already relaxed at some point, and now she even felt that even if two men went out to fight childishly at the moment, she would not feel much stranger.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."

Ji Xincheng got up and went to the bathroom, but he didn't expect Shang Xuan to follow.

She deliberately slowed down, waiting to walk at the same pace as Shang Xuan.

The two passed through the long silhouette silently, and Ji Xincheng saw that the other party obviously had no intention of talking to him, but Ji Xincheng had something to say, so he listened to her, "I'm sorry, Gu Shaoze is usual, it doesn't seem to be like this......"

Shang Xuan turned her head sideways at this time and glanced at her lightly, because she was wearing high heels, Shang Xuan didn't seem to be very used to it, and after a glance, she focused on looking at her feet, and after a while, she replied to Ji Xincheng's words: "He usually doesn't do this." ”

The 'he' in Shang Xuan's mouth naturally pointed to Si Qian, and Ji Xincheng was in a trance for a moment, as if the two were still close sisters, complaining about their partners to each other......

However, Ji Xincheng quickly stopped fantasizing, because she heard Shang Xuan ask her, "What is your relationship with Gu Shaoze?" ”

There was no concern, no curiosity, but cold mockery, and his gaze fell on Ji Xincheng's empty ring finger.

As if the unspeakable secret in his heart was revealed in public, Ji Xincheng felt hot in his cheeks for a moment, as if he had been slapped in the face.

The two had come to the women's bathroom, Shang Xuan stopped in front of the mirror, looking at Ji Xincheng in the mirror from a distance, as if waiting for her answer.

But Ji Xincheng didn't speak out for a long time.

It was also at this moment that Ji Xincheng realized that she had never regarded Gu Shaoze as her husband subconsciously, she was always ready to be abandoned by Gu Shaoze, and she was always ready for the distrust in her heart to be confirmed......

So much so that when Shang Xuan doubted Gu Shaoze that he said that the two of them were husband and wife, and asked herself again with naked mockery, she was shocked that there was nothing to hide.

Even if she didn't have the concern that she didn't want to make it public too early, she thought she would answer Shang Xuan like this at this moment:

"How could he take a fancy to me! We're just the kind of relationship that outsiders see. ”

After Ji Xincheng finished speaking, he didn't want to continue to become more unbearable under Shang Xuan's cold eyes, so he raised his feet and entered the compartment.

She deliberately grinded, but she didn't expect that after a while, when she came out of the cubicle, Shang Xuan was still standing there and touching up her makeup, I don't know if she was waiting for her intentionally.

Ji Xincheng did not frighten, walked to Shang Xuan's side, and slowly washed his hands in the sink on the side.

"When I was still in school, several female classmates said, what kind of green tea are you, I didn't agree with it at the time, and I fought with them to live or die, now I think about it, it's really ridiculous."

Shang Xuan spoke indifferently, and kept touching up her makeup in her hands, as if she was talking about topics such as whether the weather was good or not.

didn't look at Ji Xincheng, she continued: "You know, I signed you to our company just to embarrass you, and even want to destroy your most important things, so that you can also taste what I have experienced, so there will be those things before." But now I realize that I suddenly have no clue. Ji Xincheng, for a woman who cares about her body, I ruin her innocence, and there is a little pleasure, but if this person himself is out to sell, I still find a man for her, not to treat myself as a fool, what is it? ”

The sound of the powder box 'popping' on the lid made Ji Xincheng startled.

The moment he turned around, he was facing the prickly gaze that Shang Xuan threw before leaving.

Those thorns didn't pierce her eyes, but pierced her heart......

For a while, Ji Xincheng couldn't feel the water rushing past her fingers, until the cleaner saw that Ji Xincheng was wrong when she entered the bathroom, and reminded her loudly.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

She suddenly woke up and removed her hand from under the sensor faucet.

I don't know how he returned to the table, but Ji Xincheng didn't look as bad as he imagined.

Gu Shaoze asked her in her ear with concern: "What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?" ”

Ji Xincheng slowly dodged Gu Shaoze's approach, sat down beside him, and his eyes fell on the two opposites, both of whom looked like nothing had happened.

Ji Xincheng calmed down and shook his head at Gu Shaoze: "I'm fine." ”
