Su Zhiqing didn't notice it.

However, although she and Xue Zichen were quite chatty, there were some things she was still embarrassed to say, so when she heard his question, she just smiled and passed by.

Xue Zichen felt a little fierce for no reason, and smiled: "Go out and smoke a cigarette, you eat first." ”

"Okay."

He got up and left.

Walking out here is a small garden, so coincidentally, he happened to meet Gu Chen who came back after making a phone call.

Two excellent men stood opposite each other.

Gu Chen just bowed slightly, didn't speak, and walked in sideways.

He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't have anything to say to people he doesn't know well, unless it's necessary.

People walk by, bringing up an invisible momentum.

Xue Zichen lit a cigarette and spit out the smoke rings one by one, and when a cigarette burned out, he finally figured out the reason why he was not very comfortable in his heart.

But soon, he smiled with his head towards the sky and relief.

When the smell of smoke on his body completely dissipated, he returned to the box.

Maybe it's because his mood has adjusted, and when he speaks again, it's a lot more natural, and with his lively atmosphere, the four of them won't be speechless.

An hour later, the four of them said goodbye at the door.

Sending Su Zhiqing to the car, Gu Chen turned around and glanced at Ke Yun meaningfully: "Miss Ke doesn't have to be like this, my Gu family can still distinguish between right and wrong, although the Meng family and the Ke family are relatives, they will not sit together." ”

After hanging all night, Ke Yun pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Chen didn't answer, but said again: "I can ignore the past suspicions, and I won't stop the development of the Ke family in City A, but there is one thing, I hope Miss Ke will remember that Zhiqing is my bottom line." ”

Ke Yun's face stiffened slightly, and then it became clear that this man was warning himself not to have ulterior motives.

"I understand, Mr. Gu let it go." She finally made a promise.

Gu Chen didn't look at her again, went around to the driver's seat and opened the door, and the car quickly sped away.

It wasn't until the car disappeared from sight that Ke Yun's tense body relaxed.

Turning her head, she pulled Xue Zichen with a smile on the corner of her lips: "Let's go, thank you for accompanying me today and sending you back." ”

Xue Zichen retracted his gaze, and his signature smile appeared on his face: "Then I'm welcome." ”

Although they have known each other for several years, in the face of his unguarded smile, Ke Yun still feels that her heartbeat is skipping.

But inexplicably, she suddenly remembered how silent he was at first.

The two got into the car, and Ke Yun asked as if unintentionally: "Before you go out to smoke, you seem to be a little depressed, what's wrong?" ”

Xue Zichen shrugged: "So obvious? ”

"What do you say?" Ke Yunjiao glanced at him with disgust, "Did something happen?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Xue Zichen leaned back comfortably, not caring at all about telling her the embarrassing things, "It's just that today I just learned that the girl I had a good impression of was married, so I was so surprised." ”

Ke Yun's grip on the steering wheel suddenly increased: "Do you like Su Zhiqing?!" ”

Xue Zichen corrected her with a smile: "It's not that I like it, I just have a good impression." How to say it, when I met for the first time, I thought she was very interesting, and the chat was better, as if I hadn't met such a girl for a long time, and I thought that if she was single, she could pursue it. But it's a pity......" he spread his hands, his face calm, "she is married, and of course she has to let go of her good feelings." ”

"That's what you really think?"

"Can there be a fake?" Xue Zichen didn't notice Ke Yun's unnaturalness, "You and I have known each other for so many years, what kind of personality do you still not understand?" Where can such a thing as feelings be forced? ”

"Then ......" Ke Yun suddenly felt that her throat was a little blocked, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she tried not to miss a trace and asked, "You haven't had a favorite girl around you all these years?" ”

Xue Zichen thought about it seriously: "It's really not." ”

Ke Yun's original mood of expectation suddenly became depressed, sullen, and suddenly he didn't want to speak anymore.

Xue Zichen was interested: "But then again, I have known you for so many years, and you seem to have always been single, let me guess, is it that our Miss Ke is too ambitious?" ”

"Of course not."

"What's that? Or do you already have someone you like? ”

Ke Yun's fingers stiffened, afraid that he would see something, so he deliberately smiled and quipped: "When did our Xue Da Designer love gossip so much?" But then again, Su Zhiqing doesn't seem to know that you are also a designer, and on the day of the competition, maybe she will be surprised. ”

She successfully changed the topic, Xue Zichen thought about it, nodded and agreed with her: "I think so." ”

He is not a person who can't afford to let go, not to mention that he just has a good impression of Su Zhiqing, and multiple friends are also good, but I don't know what her expression will be when she sees her, thinking about it, it seems that she is still looking forward to it.

Ke Yun caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of his mouth, and a bitterness appeared in her heart, but the pride in her bones did not allow her to show it.

Soon, she sent Xue Zichen to the hotel where he was staying.

"Bye-bye." Xue Zichen habitually hugged her, "Good night, good dreams." ”

"Good night." Ke Yun watched him go in before turning around and returning to the car.

With a long sigh, she couldn't help but admit that she was so envious when she saw Gu Chen and Su Zhiqing together today, she also wanted to have someone by her side who understood her and loved her.

But that person will never be Xue Zichen.

Laughing at herself, she quickly drove away.

Gu Chen and Su Zhiqing went back to the villa tonight.

He Jiayue sent a WeChat video, and Su Zhiqing asked Gu Chen to take a bath first.

When she finished chatting, she found that he was still lying still.

Su Zhiqing blinked: "Why don't you go to the bath?" ”

"Waiting for you." Gu Chen replied concisely, but his gaze swept over her.

"Didn't you tell you to go first?" Su Zhiqing glanced at him, "Then I'll wash it first." ”

"Hmm." Gu Chen nodded, also stood up, took the pajamas in his hand, and went into the bathroom with her.

"What are you doing?!" Su Zhiqing was stunned.

"I'm waiting for you to take a shower." Gu Chen said seriously, "I just said it, did you forget?" ”

"You...... You ...... "You have been for a long time, and she has not finished speaking."

Instead, Gu Chen leaned over: "How did you promise me at noon, huh?" ”

The tail note is upward, ambiguous and low, and with a "bang", Su Zhiqing's face turns red.

"You...... You ......"

The corners of Gu Chen's lips hooked, and he directly dragged her in: "Wife, let's go, take a bath, go to bed early, it's good for your health." ”

Su Zhiqing: "......"

In the end, I didn't go to bed early at all!

The days were simple and fulfilling, and soon it was time for the JHA Jewelry Contest to officially begin.

Originally, Gu Chen said that he would accompany her, but two days before the competition, there was a temporary problem with the British cooperation project, and he needed to go in person.

Gu Chen apologized and promised to come back as soon as possible.

Su Zhiqing said that she understood, but in fact, she didn't have to be by his side.

At nine o'clock in the morning, she arrived at the competition venue on time.

"Zhiqing! Zhiqing! At the door, He Jiayue waved at her.

Su Zhiqing ran over in surprise: "Why are you here?" Didn't you say you were going on a business trip? ”

He Jiayue proudly hooked her shoulder: "It's postponed, I'm a dead friend, can I come?" What's more, the president of your family even called me personally, asking me to accompany you if I have time. ”

He?

Su Zhiqing didn't expect him to do this behind his back.

"Okay, if you want to be moved, you will be moved when your president comes back, hehe, now I will accompany you in."

"Hmm!"

Although JHA is aimed at young designers, in fact, the preliminary competition is very strict, and the judges and teachers of the organizing committee will screen out the qualified ones from the list of applicants, and then look at the design draft, and finally look at the finished product.

So there are not many designers who came to participate in the finals today.

Walking in, He Jiayue suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "By the way, Zhiqing, have you heard that this year's idol Aaron is one of the judges!" ”

"Really?!" Su Zhiqing was stunned in surprise.

"What are you lying to? I finally got the news, oh, look at the judges' seat, is there his name? ”

Su Zhiqing looked in the direction of her finger.

Sure enough, in the center of the judges' bench, Aaron's name was there.

Su Zhiqing's breathing instantly became a little disordered.

What a surprise!

What a surprise!

He Jiayue patted her shoulder with a look that I knew you would be so excited: "Go ahead!" Come on! ”

"Hmm!"

According to the ranking of the company, when Su Zhiqing found a seat, Xue Siqing and another shortlisted designer had just arrived.

Nodding her head as a greeting, she looked intently ahead.

Xue Siqing turned her head to look at her, and rarely spoke: "Su Zhiqing, you say, can you still win against me this time?" ”

Her voice is cool and cool, very light but very persistent.

Su Zhiqing met her gaze when she heard this: "I don't know." ”

As if she had known that she would say this, Xue Siqing hooked her lips: "I will definitely win you." ”

She doesn't want to be under Su Zhiqing's aura forever, she wants to win over her!

Su Zhiqing moved her lips, wanting to say something, but didn't say it in the end.

Time passed minute by minute, and the teachers of the jury took their seats one by one.

In the end, only Aaron remained.

Not long after, a gentle voice came in: "Sorry, it's a little late. ”

Su Zhiqing only felt a little familiar, turned around suspiciously, but was stunned when she saw the comer.

Xue Zichen?!

She watched as he walked over to Aaron's seat and sat down.

So, Xue Zichen is Aaron?!

Su Zhiqing blinked, and couldn't digest the news at once.

Xue Zichen sat in front and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he looked at her cute appearance.

Sure enough, it was as cute as I expected.

The competition soon began in earnest.

In fact, when the results of this final are out, the awards will be presented on the spot, so everyone in the contestant held their breath.

One by one, the finished products are displayed, and there will be judges and teachers to comment and vote, but because Xue Zichen is here, his opinion is more important.

And finally, at the last minute.
