Chapter 311: Are you still in touch after returning to Beicheng?

Tang Qing felt Jiang Budu's gaze on him, tightened his grip on the water bottle, and lowered his eyes calmly.

Tang Qing didn't know why Jiang Budu came here, but it wasn't difficult to guess.

He has a good relationship with Gu Zhongzhou, and Gu Zhongzhou had said before that some friends would come here.

The hot spring suite is a family or couple's suite, which means Jiang Budu didn't come alone -

As expected, the next second, Tang Qing heard Gu Zhongzhou ask, "Is it okay for you not to accompany your fiancée?"

Jiang Budu smiled: "Why are you still worrying about this?"

Gu Zhongzhou: "Of course I'm worried that it will affect the relationship between you two."

Jiang Budu: "Don't worry, whether we cultivate each other or not, the marriage will be concluded."

Jiang Budu's tone didn't sound like he was talking about marriage, but rather like he was joking about something insignificant, and his words showed indifference.

Although Gu Zhongzhou did not agree with his attitude towards marriage, he had to admit that this was the majority of cases in their circle.

Gu Zhongzhou did not comment on Jiang Budu's attitude, but simply said, "Today, my decision does not count. I need to ask other people's opinions."

After all, it was he who invited Song Yi and the others to come. It would depend on whether they felt comfortable adding anyone else.

When Jiang Budu heard this, he looked at Tang Qing again.

This time he spoke directly: "What's your opinion?"

Tang Qing raised his eyes, exchanged a brief glance with him, and shook his head, "I'll follow Mr. Gu's arrangements."

The starting point of Tang Qing's words was very simple. The guest should follow the host's wishes. As a guest, she could not ask Gu Zhongzhou to do things according to her ideas.

She never likes to cause trouble to others.

But when these words reached Jiang Budu's ears, they took on a different meaning.

Jiang Budu listened to this answer and recalled the scene of the two of them chatting happily just now.

Tang Qing smiled so sincerely and brilliantly at Gu Zhongzhou that he could feel her relaxation and happiness even though he was more than ten meters away from her.

And there had never been such a smile in front of him.

Whether it was in Haicheng a few years ago or after returning to Beicheng and following him, Tang Qing was always calm and composed.

No emotions, no temper, no extreme joy or sorrow.

Jiang Budu also knew that she was not really without personality, and she was acting like this in front of him simply because she didn't care about him.

She was obviously much more relaxed when she was with Song Yi and Ying Xing.

Now there is another Gu Zhongzhou.

Gu Zhongzhou and Song Yi were just acting. If she was trying to match Tang Qing and Gu Zhongzhou—

Thinking of this, Jiang Budu's eyes became more dangerous.

At this moment, after a little consideration, Gu Zhongzhou said to Jiang Budu: "Then let's stay and have lunch together."

Jiang Budu came back to his senses and smiled, "Okay."

He looked around and asked, "Song Yi hasn't come yet?"

Gu Zhongzhou: "She has something to do, so we have to wait a little longer."

Jiang Budu: "She has something to do and you're not accompanying her. Instead, you're hanging out with her bestie here. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Gu Zhongzhou frowned slightly.

Because of Jiang Budu's suggestive words, he couldn't help but glance at Tang Qing again.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Jiang Budu seemed to be targeting Tang Qing.

Do they know each other?

Just as I was thinking this, Ying Xing came back from the bathroom.

As soon as Ying Xing approached, he saw Jiang Budu and the expression on his face changed immediately.

She sat down next to Tang Qing and took her arm under the table.

Tang Qing shook his head at Ying Xing to indicate that everything was fine.

Gu Zhongzhou also saw this little interaction between the two.

He was basically certain of one thing, that Tang Qing and Jiang Budu should know each other - and their relationship was not simple.

Gu Zhongzhou picked up his phone and checked the time. He said to Tang Qing, "Tang Qing, Song Yi is almost here. Come with me to pick her up."

Tang Qing nodded, "Okay."

The two left quickly.

Only Ying Xing and Jiang Budu were left at the table.

Ying Xing watched Gu Zhongzhou and Tang Qing walk away, so he stopped pretending and rolled his eyes at Jiang Budu.

Jiang Budu: "You have a lot of complaints about me?"

Ying Xing said sarcastically, "I wouldn't dare. President Jiang can make me disappear from North City with just a flick of his finger."

Jiang Budu: "I don't hear any hint of fear in your words."

However, Ying Xing's attitude reminded Jiang Budu of something: "Did Gu Yan give you a hard time before?"

Ying Xing: "Mr. Jiang is really good at understanding his wife."

It sounds really sad.

Jiang Budu moved his lips and was about to ask more when Ying Xing said, "Mr. Jiang is getting married soon, right? Congratulations, you two are truly a match made in heaven. I wish you a long-lasting marriage and a son soon."

Jiang Budu: "..."

——

Around eleven o'clock, Song Yi received the express delivery sent by Mr. Li at the guard post.

In a huge thermal box, in addition to a whole tiramisu in a large ceramic bowl, there is also a box of exquisitely packaged macarons.

The cocoa powder sifted on top of the tiramisu is in the shape of Doraemon, and the macarons are also blue and white, a very classic blue fat man color scheme.

After seeing this, Song Yi inexplicably remembered the birthday gift Fu Xijing had given her before -

She slapped her forehead.

It's crazy! How could Mr. Li and Fu Xijing be linked together?

Mr. Li’s WeChat avatar is Doraemon. He didn’t know that she liked it too. It must have been just a personal preference, and he did it casually.

Song Yi looked at the macarons in the box. How could Fu Xijing do such a delicate job?

After receiving the express delivery, Song Yi took a photo and sent it to Mr. Li to express his gratitude.

Song Yi: [I received it. Thank you. The macarons are so beautiful.]

L: [How does it taste? Feel free to give me your feedback. I just learned how to make it.]

Song Yi: [I haven't had time to eat yet. I'll tell you after I finish.]

But... [You've just learned how to make macarons, you're amazing.]

L: [I’m trying some new types recently.]

Song Yi: [Okay, I'll bring it to eat with my friends and give you their feedback [silly smile]]

…

After driving for more than forty minutes, Song Yi arrived at Liulan Villa.

She parked the car under the guidance of the security guard, got out with the thermal box and walked a few steps, then saw Gu Zhongzhou and Tang Qing standing not far away waiting.

Song Yi was a little surprised.

Why did Gu Zhongzhou come out with Tang Qing?

Could it be that that fool Ying Xing has matched people up again?

Song Yi quickened his pace and walked over, stopping beside the two of them, and asked Tang Qing: "Where is Xingzi?"

"She's preparing ingredients for lunch over at the tent." Gu Zhongzhou naturally took over Song Yi's words and looked at the box in her hand. "You brought anything? Let me help you carry it."

Song Yi said "hmm", handed it to him, and reminded him: "Be careful, there is cake inside."

Gu Zhongzhou: "Is it someone's birthday today?"

Song Yi: "No, a friend made it himself."

Cake, my friend.

After hearing these two key words, Tang Qing immediately thought of something.

"Is it the neighbor from Sanya?" she asked.

Song Yi nodded.

Tang Qing: "Have you been in touch since returning to North City?"
