Chapter 16: My Boyfriend Came to Pick Me Up

Xiao He opened the door and turned around to make a gesture of invitation to Li Muxi, Li Muxi had no choice but to walk in with the bag by himself, and then Xiao He gently closed the door again.

Gu Linchuan's office is spacious, with black sofa floors, black desks and bookcases, everything is clean and orderly, monotonous and dull is also his style.

Li Muxi raised his eyes and saw that he was writing and drawing on the table with his head down. The brows are deeply locked, the expression is serious, the white shirt is as smooth as if it has just been put on, the cuffs are meticulously pulled up twice, and the sitting posture is upright, without a trace of tiredness.

This obsessive-compulsive patient, even Li Muxi, has never seen him dirty for a moment since he was a child. This is the opposite of her.

"The strawberries were brought to you."

Gu Linchuan glanced up at her when he heard the voice, his eyes stayed on her for a while, and he said lightly: "There is labor." ”

"Didn't you receive the strawberries I asked my assistant to send you a few days ago?"

"Roger."

"Then how did you tell grandma that you didn't receive it?"

"Busy forgot."

“......”

Li Muxi was speechless, but when he thought of having something to discuss with him, he had to endure it, took out a strawberry from the box and handed it to him flatteringly, "Wash it, can you taste it?" ”

Gu Linchuan moved back guardedly, but still frowned and ate the strawberry.

"Say what?"

"Chang Liang, in two days, Mr. Gu, will you do an interview with our magazine?"

"No, you can't."

"I know you like to keep a low profile, but Xiao also needs publicity in China."

"Shaw doesn't need media publicity."

"Then you should introduce such a big livelihood project as Greentown to all walks of life."

"You don't have to worry about it, the relevant departments of Xiao's will arrange a press conference on the project."

This person is really a stone in a dung pit, smelly and hard, Li Muxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with perseverance: "Then there is also the orphanage You are also one of the initiators, Teacher Li asked to call on all walks of life, you won't be out of business, right?" ”

Gu Linchuan put down the pencil in his hand, looked at Li Muxi coldly, and simply agreed, "It's okay to interview if you want, but you come in person, I have nothing to say to others." ”

"Oh? Then if I interview, you can guarantee that all questions will be answered? ”

"You can try."

"Well, don't get your hopes up."

Li Muxi accepted it when he saw it, looked at his watch and said, "I'll go back first, remember to go home when you're not busy, Grandpa Gu is still waiting for you to go back and accompany him to kill two sets." ”

Gu Linchuan's hand holding the pen paused, and he was in a trance for a moment, the tone of this instruction made him feel a full warmth in his heart, he only answered in a deep voice, and did not speak again.

As soon as Li Muxi, who left the president's office, got on the elevator, Qin Yu's phone called.

"Muxi, are you convenient now, I want to invite you to a meal to express my gratitude."

"Oh, I just got off work and was about to go back, you don't have to be too polite, I'll help you too."

"I know the address of your unit, I'll go downstairs immediately, you wait for me."

Before Li Muxi could say anything, the other party's phone had already hung up, and Li Muxi reluctantly put the phone in his pocket and turned around to see Lu Dong striding in from outside.

It was too late to hide, Lu Dong had already seen her and walked over with a spring breeze on his face.

"Muxi, why are you here?" After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Did you come to me?" ”

Li Muxi shook his head indifferently.

Lu Dong immediately turned sunny and cloudy, "Are you here to find Gu Linchuan?" ”

Li Muxi nodded indifferently.

Lu Dong asked pitifully, "You're not going to chase him again, are you?" ”

"What's the matter with you?"

"I'm going to hurt you to do this, didn't you just harvest my roses the other day."

"I'm sorry for Jacquard, I'm about to be killed by you. I'm going home and goodbye! ”

Li Muxi said as he walked out, and it was too eye-catching to stand together in Xiao and Ludong.

Lu Dong also walked out with Li Muxi, and the people around him greeted him completely regardless of him.

"Are you going to chase him again?" Lu Dong still didn't give up.

Li Muxi walked without looking back, "Don't worry." Even if I chase you now, I won't chase him. ”

Although it was said casually, Lu Dong listened to it very much, and said excitedly: "Why are you going back so early, I'll take you to dinner, there is a new French restaurant next to it, and it tastes very good." ”

"I don't like to eat foreign food!"

"Then what do you like to eat, why don't I take you to eat mapo tofu, stinky tofu, spicy hot, teppanyaki?"

"You are also a rich second generation, can you be a little more reserved."

"It's not easy for the rich second generation to do it in front of you."

Walking to the door, Li Muxi stopped, she remembered that Qin Yu was still coming to him, so she looked around.

Seeing her stop, Lu Dong thought she had agreed, and said with a smile: "Wait for me here, I'll pick up the car." ”

It just so happened that Qin Yu drove a white Cadillac and parked not far away, because he couldn't park at the door, he didn't get out of the car, opened the window and waved to Li Muxi.

Li Muxi also waved to him, turned his head and said to Lu Dong, "My boyfriend is coming to pick me up" and left, leaving Lu Dong standing alone and petrified.

"Boyfriend? What crevice popped out of a crack in a rock like this? ”

Lu Dong took the drawings to Gu Linchuan's office, and when he saw that Gu Linchuan was still sitting in his position and concentrating on drawing, he immediately became calm.

"When is it and can you still sit still?"

"The sky is falling?" Gu Linchuan didn't even raise his eyelids.

"When did Li Muxi's girl get her boyfriend, why don't I know at all?"

"Haven't you always been his boyfriend after all these years?"

"I'm not kidding you now, her boyfriend picked her up just now, and the man is actually pretty good-looking!"

The pen in Gu Linchuan's hand stopped, he lowered his head, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and he only felt that his arm was a little stiff.

"You don't know yet, do you?"

Lu Dong's voice was lowered, and he couldn't tell what was going on for a while.

"I probably know, she met a good person a few days ago."

"You know?"

Lu Dong was even more incomprehensible, "Knowing that you are still indifferent, what are you coming back for?" ”

Gu Linchuan didn't speak, he frowned and looked at the drawings on the table, the ruler was played back and forth a few times but he didn't move, and after a while, he said, "For work, for taking care of the elderly at home." ”

"High-sounding, didn't you rather take the old man over than return to China, why did you rush back when you heard me confess that you weren't with Li Muxi? You're ......."

"You think too much, I went back to China just to accompany the old man more, and don't mention other things in the future."

Lu Dong walked around in place angrily, and finally he threw the drawings on the table: "Gu Linchuan, you are harming others and yourself, you have been abroad for so many years, and you still haven't made any progress at all, anyway, I threw it away, Li Muxi lost to you, I have nothing to say, but I am unwilling to lose to others." After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

Gu Linchuan put down the pen in his hand, the ice strawberry he had just eaten made his stomach hurt a little, he got up and stood in front of the window against the sofa for a while, the eternal traffic jam downstairs and the sparse and bright clouds in the dim sky produced a strong contrast, making him feel a little suffocated and depressed.

He has always arranged his life in an orderly manner and planned his life in an orderly manner, and Li Muxi has never been absent from beginning to end in all these presets, he is no longer the person who had nothing back then, he has worked hard for so many years, he knows what he is for.

Xiao He knocked on the door and came in to find Gu Linchuan to sign the document, and when he left, Gu Linchuan said, "You can take the box of strawberries on the table and eat it." ”

Xiao He glanced at Gu Linchuan, who had a gloomy expression, didn't say anything, turned around to get the strawberry, and a chill came from his fingers when the strawberry was in his hand, "In the refrigerator?" ”

Xiao He had to instruct him again: "Mr. Gu, the doctor said that your stomach can't eat raw and cold food, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will have to have surgery." ”

"I know."

Xiao He saw that he was not in a very good mood, so he didn't say anything more, and gently closed the door and went out.

After Qin Yu and Li Muxi finished dinner, they drove him home, and after entering the house and greeting his grandparents, Li Muxi sent him back to the door.

"Thank you for dinner, you don't have to be so polite in the future, after all, we have known each other for so many years."

"I'm afraid it won't work, as long as I have time in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to pick you up and go to work often, after all, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now."

Qin Yu smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows in the room.

Mu Xi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, if you don't feel troublesome, then let it be." ”

"It's an honor, see you tomorrow morning!" Qin Yu gentlemanly bent down and got into the car.

As soon as Li Muxi returned to the house, her grandmother sat on the sofa and shouted, "Xixi, come and eat apples." ”

"Grandma, I won't eat anymore, I'll go up and write the manuscript."

"I'll write it after eating, I'll cut it all."

"Peel it up, you can give it to Grandpa Gu!"

"Miss Li Muxi......" Grandma's voice carried a bit of warning.

"Okay, I'll eat."

Li Muxi obediently came down the stairs and obediently went over to eat apples.

Grandpa Gu, who was sitting on the side reading the newspaper, smiled meaningfully and did not speak.

"Qin Yu, this young man looks pretty good, he looks refreshing, and he speaks elegantly."

"Well, that's good."

Li Muxi nibbled on an apple while absentmindedly flipping through the old newspaper on the table.

"Although it looks good, I always feel a little unsure."

"What's the matter, what do you think is wrong with Qin Yu?"

"The problem is not with Qin Yu, I think something is wrong with you."

"What's wrong with me?" Li Muxi stopped what he was doing and looked at his grandmother in some surprise.

"I think you're a little too comfortable."

Grandma put down the fruit knife in her hand and said with a serious face: "To be honest, are you forced to be anxious now with the idea of finding someone to marry at random?" ”

Li Muxi was stunned for a long time, and then she realized what her grandmother was worried about, probably thinking that she was going to break the jar.

"Don't worry, grandma, if I wanted to find someone to marry, I would have married a long time ago, you wouldn't really think that I had no one to want, your granddaughter is very sought-after."

"I'm relieved when you say this, I'm afraid that you will be forced by your mother to be anxious and not be able to think about it for a while." Grandma breathed a sigh of relief as she spoke.
