Chapter 40: Heartbeat
Zhong Jinyun's sudden decision made Gu Xizi a little flustered, he basically didn't know anything about this project, and in one day, Gu Xizi really couldn't imagine what he would do.
When he got off work, Gu Xizi resolutely chose to stay and work overtime.
With a lot of data in front of him, Gu Xizi's head was big, and he was always a little irritable at the beginning.
I don't know when, Zhong Jinyun stood behind Gu Xizi and looked at him with a serious face.
When Gu Xizi found out, he was really startled, stood up in a panic, and said nervously, "Mr. Zhong, when did you come?" ”
"It's been a few minutes since I came, and I didn't bother you when I saw that you were so serious, how about it? Is it ok to finish? Although he came to ask about the situation, Zhong Jinyun still kept a straight face.
"I, this ......" Although Gu Xizi said that he had almost finished it, he had no confidence in himself at all, and it was the first time he accepted the project, so he always couldn't believe himself.
Seeing Gu Xizi's hesitant look, Zhong Jinyun directly picked up the folder on the table with a solemn expression, "Very good!" ”
Very good? Gu Xizi heard it right! I lack self-confidence and always don't trust the sincere evaluation of others.
However, hearing Zhong Jinyun say this, Gu Xizi was still very happy.
"Pack up and go home for dinner in a while!" Zhong Jinyun said coldly, and Gu Xizi became even more nervous.
Home for dinner? Gu Xizi lowered his head and thought about something silently.
"It's my grandfather, he hasn't seen you in a long time, so he wants to see you!" Zhong Jin Yun added a sentence at the end.
Originally, Gu Xizi was still a little nervous in her heart, but thinking that she and Zhong Jinyun were pretending to be in a relationship, she had to show it in front of Zhong Yunlong.
"Oh, good!" Gu Xizi agreed.
"Okay, you clean up first, I'll wait for you downstairs!" Zhong Jinyun left after speaking.
Gu Xizi froze in place, quietly looking at Zhong Jin Yun's distant back, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
What is such a relationship?
When she came downstairs, Zhong Jinyun was already waiting in the car, and when she saw Gu Xizi coming down, she took the initiative to open the car door for her and motioned for him to sit in.
With such Zhong Jin Yun, Gu Xizi is still a little uncomfortable.
"Actually, you don't have to treat me like an outsider." Zhong Jin Yun suddenly said this, Gu Xizi was stunned, what did he mean by this?
Gu Xizi was a little confused for a while, looked out of the car window awkwardly, and said nervously, "I, I don't understand." ”
The corners of Zhong Jinyun's mouth obviously curved into a beautiful arc, and then said, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I will try my best to help if I can." ”
Although Gu Xizi didn't understand why Zhong Jinyun had changed so much, when he heard this, his heart was still warm.
"Mr. Zhong, you have helped me a lot, if it weren't for you in the company, I might still be bullied by Sister Ling, and you gave my brother-in-law money, I really don't know how to thank you, I think it is necessary for me to pay you back." Gu Xizi didn't want to owe anyone else, especially Zhong Jinyun's.
Seeing that Gu Xi was still mentioning the money, Zhong Jinyun looked like he was ignoring it, "Okay, I don't allow you to be in front of me in the future." ”
Gu Xizi glanced at Zhong Jin Yun and found that there was a little more melancholy between his eyebrows.
Sometimes Gu Xizi really didn't understand what Zhong Jinyun was thinking, he was still smiling in the last second, and he immediately had a gloomy face in the next second, which made Gu Xizi also confused.
Until Zhong Jinyun's house, the two of them didn't speak much.
When he came to the house, Zhong Yunlong greeted him, smiling very happily, and seeing Gu Xizi was very kind.
"Xizi, you're finally here, you don't know how to come and see me these days, don't you recognize me as a grandfather!" Zhong Yunlong said jokingly.
Seeing Zhong Yunlong, Gu Xizi also exclaimed with a smile on his face, "Grandpa! ”
The two of them talked and laughed, but now Zhong Jinyun has become an outsider.
They gathered around to eat, and Zhong Yunlong suddenly mentioned, "Xizi, have you ever thought about getting married in the future!" You see you're all getting young, and you should always think about that. ”
Hearing that Zhong Yunlong actually talked about marriage, Gu Xizi was completely stunned, the relationship between the two of them was fake, but now it is related to marriage, and it is impossible to hide it.
Zhong Jinyun didn't have any reaction, but ate comfortably.
Gu Xizi looked at Zhong Jin Yun to see what his reaction was, but he didn't even raise his head.
Gu Xizi could only smile awkwardly, "Grandpa, I don't think this matter is in a hurry, we still want to enjoy our single life more!" ”
After saying that, Gu Xizi laughed himself, this reason simply can't be worse.
Zhong Jinyun lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Jin Yun, what about you, what do you think?" Zhong Yunlong pointed the finger at Zhong Jin Yun.
I don't know why, but Gu Xizi is looking forward to his answer.
Zhong Jinyun raised his head, glanced at Gu Xizi, and said with a relaxed face, "I don't care!" It depends on someone's opinion! ”
He said this clearly to Gu Xizi, she didn't know whether what Zhong Jinyun said was true or false, she only knew that their relationship was fake, which was undeniable.
It's just that now it's not just about deceiving Zhong Yunlong on the surface, now Zhong Yunlong has thought about getting married, which makes Gu Xizi very entangled in his heart.
If he confessed directly, his heart would definitely not be able to stand it, but if it took longer, Zhong Yunlong would endure a lot more than now.
So Gu Xizi has always been very weak in front of Zhong Yunlong, she doesn't know what kind of identity to face him, let alone how to face herself, perhaps, it was a big mistake to agree to Zhong Jinyun's request at the beginning.
Zhong Jinyun's words made Zhong Yunlong very satisfied, and laughed happily, "Okay, we still have to find a suitable time for this matter, we have time to discuss it together, and hurry up to get things done, maybe at my age, it is possible to hug my little great-grandson!" ”
Zhong Yunlong smiled very happily, he didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this day, Zhong Jinyun's relationship had always been what Zhong Yunlong was worried about, so he had no worries.
"Come on, come on, eat more, Xizi, you see you're too thin, how can you do this!" Zhong Yunlong kept putting vegetables into Gu Xizi's bowl, and they were almost piled up.
Every time he came to his house, Zhong Yunlong was very enthusiastic, and he had already treated her as his own family, looking at Zhong Jinyun and Gu Xizi, Zhong Yunlong showed a relieved smile.
But the more she saw Zhong Yunlong so enthusiastic, the more uncomfortable Gu Xizi felt in her heart, she didn't want to have this kind of deceptive feeling, it was not good at all.
"Xizi, what's wrong with you? The face is not very good! Zhong Yunlong found that something was wrong with Gu Xizi and asked worriedly.
"No, no, grandpa, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about the wedding." Gu Xizi pretended to be calm and said.
Hearing this, Zhong Yunlong laughed heartily, "Okay, I have nothing to worry about now, the matter of the two of you is my most important thing!" ”
I don't know why, Gu Xizi always doesn't want to go in his heart, but what surprised him, Zhong Jinyun didn't react at all, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
This made Gu Xizi very puzzled, but he couldn't ask directly.
This meal ended soon, and Gu Xizi knew that there would be many such dinners in the future, so he concluded that no matter how they could act, there would always be a day when they would be exposed.
Gu Xizi didn't want to be deceived like this anymore, so he had to make it clear to Zhong Jinyun.
"Xizi, you can come when you are free in the future, this is your home, don't see outside!" When saying goodbye, Zhong Yunlong repeatedly invited Gu Xizi to come to the house to play.
Gu Xizi could only smile and echo, "I know grandpa, don't send it." ”
Zhong Jinyun drove Gu Xizi home, and at first the two of them were silent, and the air instantly froze.
Gu Xizi had already pretended to have enough of the two of them in a fake relationship, didn't he know that it was Zhong Yunlong who was hurt in the end, and no one could imagine how serious the consequences would be.
She glanced at Zhong Jin Yun, there was no trace of expression on her face, Gu Xizi coughed lightly twice and said, "Mr. Zhong, I still think that the matter of the two of us having a fake relationship is ......."
"I know!" Zhong Jin Yun, who has a side face, has a very clear outline on his face, with ups and downs, and he is very handsome. Of course, Zhong Jin Yun knew what the consequences would be, but he had no way to do it.
"I know what you want to say, since I have decided to lie about this matter, there will definitely be a solution, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to do your duty." Zhong Jin Yun said coldly.
But Gu Xizi still didn't understand, doing so would only hurt, and there was no solution at all.
"But do you know that this is not fair to Grandpa Zhong at all, he expects so much from you, now it depends on your hard time, what is the result, if he knows that all this is fake, you should know what the consequences will be." Gu Xizi just didn't want to cheat like this anymore, it didn't make sense at all.
It's just that Zhong Jinyun did this, and he also had a reason, but when things got to this point, Zhong Jinyun could only take one step at a time.
Zhong Jinyun glanced at Gu Xizi and said in a flat tone, "Then what do you want me to do, now go and tell grandpa, all this is home?" I don't dare to think about the consequences, now, I can only take one step at a time. ”
"But ......" Gu Xizi still didn't want to continue to hide from Zhong Yunlong like this.
"Okay, Gu Xizi, I know that you are for the good of my grandfather, but if all this is destined by God, we have nothing to do." Zhong Jinyun's expression was a little sad.
Gu Xizi could see that he had no choice about all this, he did all this for his grandfather, if it wasn't for his grandfather, he wouldn't have done these things.
Gu Xizi didn't say anything anymore, she knew it in her heart, just let things go naturally!
"That's right!" Zhong Jinyun suddenly said, "The project you gave me a satisfactory answer tomorrow!" Zhong Jinyun's tone was a little expectant.
Project? Gu Xizi only remembered that he came to his house for dinner today, the project has not been completed, and it seems that he will have to stay up late when he goes back today.
"Well, that's going to be handed over to you tomorrow morning, and if you're not satisfied, it depends on what you think." Gu Xizi's strength is indeed there, otherwise Zhong Jinyun would not have asked her to do this project.
Hearing Gu Xizi say this, the corners of Zhong Jinyun's mouth rose, looking happy, but Gu Xizi didn't see it.
"Okay, then it's up to you tomorrow!" Zhong Jin Yun glanced at Gu Xizi, and there was a tenderness in his eyes.
Gu Xizi looked out the window quietly, but she didn't notice that her heart was slowly approaching Zhong Jin Yun again.
