Chapter 201: See through but don't say it
And this one, Gu Mochen, who came back from the client, was pulled over by Xiao Zhi as soon as he arrived at the law firm, and when he saw Ye Chen, he was stunned for a moment, almost didn't recognize it, the innocent girl in college has now transformed into a mature and sexy woman.
Gu Mochen bowed his head politely, without much expression: "Long time no see." ”
Ye Chen got up, with a little excitement in his eyes: "Mo Chen, it's been a long time. ”
"We have to have a meal together at noon today, no matter what, it's rare for old classmates to get together." Xiao Zhi coaxed on the side.
"Yes, I still have something to consult with Lawyer Gu." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Gu Mochen was about to speak, when Helen walked over from the office.
"Lawyer Gu, you're back." She glanced at the bar, it was empty, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, what about people, lawyer Gu, have you seen Miss Tan?" ”
Gu Mochen didn't know what to say, and asked rhetorically, "Miss Tan?" ”
"That's right, she was still waiting for you just now, why did she disappear in a blink of an eye."
"What you're talking about, the Miss Tan I brought over for dinner last time?" Gu Mochen was very surprised, he didn't believe that Tan Man would suddenly return to Shanghai, obviously she was still in Suzhou yesterday, on a blind date.
"That's right, it's her."
As soon as Helen's words fell, Gu Mochen pulled his legs and walked towards the front desk, leaving the three people to look at each other.
"Miss Tan who came to me, is she leaving?"
The little beauty at the front desk was taken aback by Gu Mochen, and immediately replied: "Yes, she said that there was something temporary, so she left first." ”
"How long have you been walking?" His tone was a little hurried.
The little beauty looked down at the time under the computer and said, "I just left, it should be less than ten minutes." ”
Gu Mochen turned around and walked towards the elevator room, while taking out his mobile phone to call Tan Man, he pressed the elevator button several times in a row, impatient.
Since he received a message from her after getting off the plane in the early hours of this morning, he was in no mood and immediately called her back, and soon reacted that it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, so he had to hang up.
He couldn't wait to question her, but found that he didn't seem to have any reason or position to question until everything was clarified.
Therefore, he had already thought that he had to go to see her, face to face, and talk about it, and he couldn't delay it any longer.
So I didn't sleep all night, and I did all the work that I was anxious to do the next day overnight, and asked Helen to advance the party she wanted to see in the afternoon to the morning, just to squeeze out an afternoon and rush to Suzhou to find her.
Unexpectedly, the girl came by herself, he was very happy and a little apprehensive, for fear that he would miss it like this.
When the phone rang, Tan Man was buying a cup of hot soy milk in the convenience store, and when he saw the three words Gu Mochen appear on the screen, his fingers flicked, and a few drops of full soy milk were sprinkled.
I hurriedly connected it, and pretended to say hello calmly.
"Where are you?" On the phone, Gu Mochen's tone was a little anxious, "Helen said you came to me." ”
Tan Man frowned slightly, and replied, "Yes, it's actually nothing, I'm just on the way." ”
"Where are you now? Went back? ”
After hesitating for a moment, Tan Man confessed: "Not yet, at the convenience store downstairs of your law firm." ”
"Wait for me there!"
The phone was hung up, Tan Man was stunned for two seconds, walked to the temporary dining bar of the convenience store and sat down to wait for him.
In less than a minute, the figure that had not been seen for many days appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, Gu Mochen strode in, ignoring the warm "welcome" of the cashier girl, his eyes searched around, and landed on her steadily.
The man two meters away, wearing a dark blue Burberry semi-long business trench coat, with a graceful demeanor and clear eyebrows, suddenly, Tan Man felt that his heart was like clockwork, and it was violently twisted and beat faster.
Gu Mochen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he walked straight towards her, standing still, his eyes never leaving her face.
Sometimes, it's so subtle, obviously nothing is said, but there is an ambiguous smell in the space.
Tan Man stood up and opened his mouth first: "You're back, I'm here to do something, I happened to pass by your law firm, so I ...... by the way."
"Drop by, huh?" Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Mochen took the words on, and was a little emotional about her "by the way".
She scratched the broken hair on her forehead, nodded, and whispered, "Well, by the way!" ”
Gu Mochen lowered his eyes, thoughtful, and his expression was unpredictable.
Tan Man fell into embarrassment, at this time, there were not many customers in the convenience store, a young beauty passed by, glanced at them, and walked into a row of shelves next to them, and the two of them were left in front of the small bar.
"I came back from the plane in the early morning, and I received your WeChat after turning on the plane." Gu Mochen paused, his expression was serious, "From last night to now, I haven't closed my eyes, and I have done all the rest of the work in advance, so that I can rush to Suzhou to find you this afternoon." ”
At first, Tan Man didn't understand what he was going to say, but when he said that he was going to Suzhou to find her, her eyes widened and she looked at him in surprise, trying to make sure if she had heard it wrong.
"Looking for me?"
Tan Man caught the strange look that flashed in his eyes.
He nodded, his brows furrowed: "Because you said you went on a blind date." ”
"......" Tan Man opened his mouth slightly, and closed it again, like a child who had done something wrong, with an inexplicable weakness.
"So, did you look at the right eye?" He asked.
"Of course not!" Tan Man categorically denied it.
"Okay, listen up," he licked his lower lip and looked directly at her, "Tan Man, I like you." ”
"This feeling has been circling in my mind for a long time, and I didn't understand what it meant at first, but that day you said that you were going to be arranged to go on a blind date, and I suddenly realized that I like you, I want you to be by my side and be with me."
Approaching the end of the year, the convenience store played a song to congratulate the New Year, and the excitement surrounded the entire store, in this extremely discordant background music, Tan Man still heard the footsteps of love quietly approaching, so crisp, so beautiful.
Tan Man stood unusually calmly in place, Gu Mochen's confession, she heard it clearly, ten minutes ago, she was still immersed in frustration, thinking about how to make her wishful thinking end less embarrassing, and at this moment, what he said was like a spring rain suddenly encountered by a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time, flattered and ecstatic,
It's just that the excited cells seem to be half a beat slower, and after thoroughly receiving this signal, they wake up in the body with hindsight, swimming, shouting, and boiling.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Gu Mochen couldn't help but tighten his brows.
At his age, he is no longer an impulsive and blind stunned young man, and the reason why he decided to have a showdown is also because she is eight points sure, she has him in her heart, but right now, this little girl doesn't say a word, and she behaves so calmly, Gu Mochen is slightly uneasy.
He took a deep breath and continued in a calm voice: "Maybe you will think that I am abrupt and incredible, yes, I am a lot older than you, and I have a six-year-old brother to take care of, it is indeed a bit ridiculous to say, but I am serious, I will do my best to be good to you, and besides, I am also confident that I can make you happy." ”
Tan Man still didn't speak, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
After all, it was the first time to do this kind of thing, Gu Mochen had expected a perfect ending that she would gladly accept, and she was mentally prepared to refuse, but she didn't count the embarrassing scene where she didn't say a word.
"Aren't you going to say something?"
Tan Man blinked: "I'm ......, uh......"
Gu Mochen's eyes were firmly locked on her face, trying to suppress his restlessness, patiently waiting for her reply.
Tan Man raised his head, his fiery gaze seemed to burn people through, so he lowered his head shyly: "You, don't look at me like this, I'll be nervous." ”
When Gu Mochen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and looked away: "The person who is more nervous now should be me." ”
"You're going to be nervous, too." He looked calm and relaxed, Tan Man didn't believe it, and couldn't help but tease.
"What do you say?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed seductively, Tan Man swallowed subconsciously, put his face away, and only heard him say again, "To tell you the truth, this second, my calm is all pretended, your silence, your hesitation, make me very nervous, so, do I want to give you a little time to think about it?" ”
"No!"
Tan Man replied quickly, as if she was afraid that he would regret it, and only after blurting out did she feel that she was not reserved enough, but after thinking about it, so what, she originally came to him with good hopes, but she didn't expect to be hit by his one-handed confession first, those shy, subtle, reserved, solemn, all collapsed.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Actually, I didn't come by the way today, I came to you on purpose, because, because I really want to see you." At the last sentence, she buried her head low, and her voice was noticeably quieter.
Gu Mochen squinted, looking at her crimson face, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
The next second, he chuckled, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her hairy head, with tenderness in his eyes.
"You want to see me, why didn't you wait for me to come back and ran away?" Gu Mochen leaned closer and lowered his head slightly to see her face clearly.
Although it is already a concubine, you and I are willing, but as soon as he revealed his heart, Tan Man still looked shy and unnatural, turned his back to him, sat on the high swivel chair, took a sip of soy milk and calmed down: "That's not because your college confidante is waiting for you." ”
Gu Mochen stepped over with long legs, sat next to her, and said with a low smile: "Are you jealous?" ”
"......," she muttered, puffing out her cheeks, "No!" ”
"Don't feel at a loss or embarrassed, I've already eaten your vinegar several times."
"When did I make you jealous......"
"Do you want me to count them all?" He raised his eyebrows, looking like he was settling accounts after the autumn, "Your ear doctor, your landlord's son, and the unknown blind date that suddenly popped up now, is there anything I said about it, huh?" ”
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Tan Man was a little funny, "You just treat all the male friends I know as rivals." ”
"I can't guarantee that I will really do that," he said righteously, "so don't go on a blind date again, you have a lord now!" ”
"Only state officials are allowed to set fires." Tan Man thought of the beautiful young lady who was still waiting for him in his law firm, and he was not convinced.
Gu Mochen smiled, laughing so much that Tan Man was embarrassed to look at him again, and took a small sip of soy milk.
"I can explain!" He said, "We have a lot of time now, I'll explain it to you at 1510, okay?" ”
Tan Man once again fell into his pampering tenderness and couldn't extricate herself, she felt that she was finished, just after a while, the whole person was completely fallen.
At this time, the phone rang, and he glanced at her before picking it up.
