Chapter Forty-Eight: Sleeping in Separate Rooms

"It's not." Hearing Qiao Ai's nervous inquiry, Zhou Chengyan looked at Qiao Ai helplessly, and gently rubbed the corners of his forehead with his fingers: "But I suddenly remembered that my grandmother's birthday was just three days later." ”

Qiao Ai's eyes widened, and she twitched the corners of her mouth, with a glimmer of hope in her heart: "Are you kidding me?" ”

"Ai Ai ......"

Zhou Chengyan couldn't find any joking expression on his face, and Qiao Ai was about to collapse.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier." In three days, it is no less difficult to find a congratulatory gift that is suitable for Mrs. Zhou and that her old man still likes.

The more Qiao Ai thought about it, the more desperate she became: "If it weren't for Katsuo's call, you wouldn't have remembered to tell me about it three days later, right?" ”

"You don't have to worry, grandma doesn't lack anything, just go over when the time comes."

Qiao Ai bit her lower lip anxiously, and glared at him fiercely when she heard the words, "Grandma doesn't lack anything, but it doesn't mean that I can't give it away." It's all your fault, three days is too late to prepare gifts, what should I do then? ”

Back at Zhou's house, at dinner, Qiao Ai only ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

Zhou Chengyan saw her like this, and couldn't bear to press the person directly on the bed when Qiao Ai returned to the room.

Qiao Ai was taken aback, and then raised her hand to push him away: "Don't bother me with what gift I want to give." ”

"Would you really like to give grandma a gift she loves?" Zhou Chengyan asked rhetorically.

Qiao Ai said angrily: "Of course." ”

Zhou Chengyan's deep voice was very bewildering: "If that's the case, I have a good idea, do you want to hear it?" ”

Qiao Ai's eyes lit up instantly: "Say it quickly." ”

Zhou Chengyan smiled slightly, leaned over Qiao Ai's ear, and laughed in his voice: "Grandma, now, there is only one great-grandson missing......"

"You!" Qiao Ai gritted her teeth angrily and pushed him away.

She knew that the words from this man's mouth were destined not to be heard.

Seeing that she was amused by herself, Zhou Chengyan laughed out loud.

Qiao Ai didn't talk to Zhou Chengyan all night, and let Zhou Chengyan use all his means, and he also made up his mind not to speak.

Early the next morning, she went out directly and went to the coffee shop that she had made an appointment with Gu Shengnan.

Gu Shengnan arrived early, heard the movement, looked up and looked her up and down carefully, then put the documents in his hand aside, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, even if you still have a little conscience, you didn't come to me to show affection." ”

"You're almost enough......" Joe sat down, ordered a glass of lemonade, and looked at the papers in her hand, "Have you been so busy lately?" When you go shopping, you still have to see the processing of stitches? ”

Gu Shengnan rubbed the corners of his eyebrows with a headache, "It's not all work...... she didn't continue, Qiao Ai didn't ask again, and instead discussed what to buy later.

As she spoke, Qiao Ai couldn't hold back, and complained to Gu Shengnan about the birthday of Mrs. Zhou three days later, "If it weren't for your phone call, I'm afraid he wouldn't remember to tell me until the same day, I suspect he did it on purpose!" ”

Gu Shengnan's hand to add sugar cubes to the coffee shook, and all seven or eight sugar cubes were added.

"Are you alright?" Qiao Ai felt a little scared when she saw it: "I know you like sweets, but this ...... is too sweet."

"It's fine." Gu Shengnan came back to his senses and smiled at Qiao Ai, his voice fluttering: "I've not been in a good mood lately, so I ate sweeter." ”

She picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Sweet, so sweet.

Sweet to the point of almost bitterness.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, obscuring all the look in her eyes. Goshoya

Obviously, it was so bitter that she couldn't swallow it, but she still took a sip and slowly drank all the cup of coffee.

No wonder he would suddenly send her on a business trip three days later.

After all, Mrs. Zhou is eighty years old, and she knows how vigorous it will be.

Thinking of his drunken words a few days ago, the corners of Gu Shengnan's mouth hooked up with a wry smile.

Is he afraid that she will take the opportunity to run away and make a fuss, so that neither of them can get off the stage?

Joe reacted suddenly.

Just now, she was excited for a while, and she complained unscrupulously with Gu Shengnan, completely forgetting that she was still involved with Zhou Chenghao.

"Katsuo, I'm ......"

"What's wrong?" Gu Shengnan put down the coffee cup that had been drunk, smiled at her, and couldn't see the gaffe on her face at all, she frowned, and then worried about Qiao Ai: "This year happens to be Mrs. Zhou's eightieth birthday, you must think about it, what kind of gift can be ingenious and make the old lady's eyes shine." ”

She sighed: "It's a pity that the time is too short. ”

"yes." Qiao Ai also followed with a sad face: "Where can I have time for three days, I can only try my best." ”

"Don't worry, I'll choose with you today."

Qiao Ai nodded gratefully to Gu Shengnan: "En!" Katsuo, thank you for your hard work. ”

However, after a day of turning, the two found nothing that could make their eyes shine.

"Take your time." Gu Shengnan patted Qiao Ai's shoulder: "Otherwise, we will continue to walk around after we rest......"

Her mobile phone rang suddenly, and when she saw the caller, Gu Shengnan's brows furrowed slightly.

She walked a little farther away and picked up the phone, Qiao Ai could only see that her face was getting worse and worse, mixed with anger and unwillingness, and finally hung up the phone forcefully.

Gu Shengnan walked to Qiao Ai's side and smiled apologetically at her: "Ai Ai, I have a more troublesome customer that I need to rush back to deal with, and I will accompany you to go shopping another day." ”

Qiao Ai hurriedly said: "It's okay, the work is important, I'll choose it myself slowly." ”

Gu Shengnan didn't let Qiao Ai send it, he walked out with his bag, Qiao Ai saw her get into a black Rolls-Royce, and the car left quickly.

Her heart sank slightly.

She has seen this car before, limited to two, one is Zhou Chengyan's, and the other is Zhou Chenghao!

Referring to Gu Shengnan's face when he left, Qiao Ai was a little worried.

But she also knew that this was her friend's own housework, so she couldn't intervene, so she could only sigh and go home.

Zhou Chengyan saw her languishing appearance, and raised his hand to hook up a strand of her hair: "I have already told you the best birthday gift for grandma." ”

"But there are only two days left, where can I conceive a child in two days? And don't you forget......" Joey forcefully opened his hand and saved his hair: "My relative is here. ”

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became, and suddenly got up and walked out: "You can sleep by yourself, I'll go to another room." ”

"There's only one room in the house."

Qiao Ai turned her head when she heard the sound, thought for a while, and sat back on the bed: "Then you go out to sleep." ”

Zhou Chengyan raised his eyebrows, "Then where do I go out to sleep?" ”

"Whatever you want." Qiao Ai said in a sullen voice: "Anyway, I won't be in the same room with you until I think of a suitable birthday gift." ”
