Chapter 47: Help Gu Yunting take measurements and tailor clothes!
Ever since his last drunken confession, he has been deliberately avoiding Su Mengxue and has never thought of seeing her again. He came here today because he was sent by the old man, but he didn't expect to see her and Shen Yanzhi being intimate when they met again.
Su Mengxue's attitude towards him was always cold, and she would get angry at the slightest word. But at this moment, she smiled and spoke to Shen Yanzhi, her eyebrows curved, and she was so gentle that it could drip water.
Only then did he understand that it wasn't that she wasn't gentle, but that she just wasn't willing to give him that tenderness.
Thinking of this, the jealousy that surged in his heart almost broke through his rationality. His fingers clenched the car door handle tightly, and he wanted to rush out of the car to protect her behind him, tell Chen Yanzhi not to have any improper thoughts about her, and even more wanted to tell all the men in Jiangbei that Su Mengxue belonged to him, Gu Yunting.
But the embarrassment of being rejected after his drunken confession was still fresh in his mind. The last bit of rationality in his heart told him that he was not qualified to do this. He could not humiliate himself any further. He should leave here decisively and never see this woman again.
Although he thought so, he did not let Wang Qi drive away. In the end, he just let go of the door handle, sat stiffly in the car with a heavy face, and silently looked at the pair of figures not far away.
…
Chen Yanzhi was caught off guard by Su Mengxue and had the jade pendant hung around his neck. He looked straight at her, frowned, and asked, "Su Mengxue, what are you doing?"
Su Mengxue was eager to know the answer. She didn't respond to Chen Yanzhi's question and asked, "Chen Yanzhi, look at the passersby. Do you see anything unusual about them?"
Chen Yanzhi glanced around casually and didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing Su Mengxue's anxious look, he paused and said in a serious tone, "The woman who just passed by...she..."
He drew out the last word and glanced meaningfully at Su Mengxue halfway through his words.
Seeing him like this, Su Mengxue thought he had noticed something strange, so she quickly asked, "What happened to that woman?"
Seeing that Su Mengxue had been fooled, Chen Yanzhi was silent for a few seconds, then teased with a half-smile: "That woman is quite pretty, but her figure is not as good as yours."
Seeing Chen Yanzhi teasing her, Su Mengxue glared at him fiercely and said sternly, "Chen Yanzhi, don't joke. I'm not asking you to look at that. I want to ask you if you see anything in them, such as..."
"For example what?" Chen Yanzhi was confused for a moment and asked in confusion.
Su Mengxue bit her lip, leaned closer to him, and whispered, "For example, do they have any light on them?"
Chen Yanzhi looked her up and down suspiciously, reaching out his hand to touch her forehead: "Su Mengxue, I saw you were stunned at the scene of the accident just now. Were you scared out of your wits? Where did the light come from in broad daylight?"
Su Mengxue heard that Chen Yanzhi's tone did not sound like a lie, so she slapped Chen Yanzhi's hand away, and her eyes suddenly deepened. It seemed that the jade pendant's special power belonged to her alone.
She secretly sighed that this special ability would definitely come in handy in the future. Who knows, this jade pendant might even bring her new surprises. She must protect it well.
Thinking of this, she tiptoed and nimbly took the jade pendant off Chen Yanzhi's neck and put it back on herself.
Seeing that she ignored him, Chen Yanzhi asked seriously, "Su Mengxue, do you want me to take you to the neurology department of the hospital now?"
Su Mengxue rolled her eyes at him again, her tone cold and hard: "Chen Yanzhi, can you please hope for me to be well."
Chen Yanzhi shrugged and sighed helplessly: "It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know how kind people are. I care about you out of kindness, but you have this attitude. It's really sad."
Su Mengxue couldn't stand his stinky look and waved her hand at him: "Okay, you still want to go shopping in the department store? Let's go quickly. I should go back to the tailor shop." After that, she quickly walked into Zhou Ji's tailor shop.
Chen Yanzhi looked at Su Mengxue's departing back. He put away his nonchalant look, raised his hand to stroke his chin and fell into deep thought.
This was the second time she asked him if he had seen the light, and she insisted on giving him the jade pendant. Also, her expression was serious. All these details put together made him frown suddenly. Could there be something strange about this jade pendant?
He figured since he was going to the department store anyway, he might as well go to the third floor to ask about the origin of the jade pendant.
…
Gu Yunting got out of the car only after Chen Yanzhi left. He stopped in front of Zhou Ji's tailor shop for a moment before pushing the door open and going in.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard a familiar voice: "What kind of clothes do you want to make?"
He looked at Su Mengxue, who was sewing with her head down, and vaguely heard his own hoarse voice: "Make a Zhongshan suit."
Su Mengxue's fingers gripping the scissors suddenly stopped. She looked up abruptly and saw Gu Yunting standing tall in front of her, exuding a cold aura that kept strangers away.
How did Gu Yunting find this place? Was it a coincidence, or...did he come here specifically to find her?
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly remembered that he had said he wanted to make a Zhongshan suit when he came in. He didn't even say hello to her after entering the door. It didn't seem like he came to see her. That's right, Zhou Ji Tailor Shop is well-known, he should come here to make clothes.
She thought again of the last time Gu Yunting confessed his love to her while drunk. The last person he wanted to see now was probably her. She thought that Chunhua was in the room anyway, and she didn't need to help him measure the size since she was busy at work. After a brief pause, she lowered her head and continued to work on her work.
Seeing her indifference towards him, Gu Yunting sneered and said coldly, "Comrade, are you just going to leave me here? Why don't you come and measure my size?"
Su Mengxue saw Gu Yunting coming towards her, acting as if he didn't know her at all. She pursed her lips, looked up and replied, "Comrade, I'm a little busy. Let someone else in our store help you measure."
Before he finished speaking, Chunhua came trotting over, a tape measure in hand. She was stunned the moment the man walked in. It was the first time she had seen such a handsome and noble man. Her cheeks flushed and she whispered, "Comrade, let me help you..."
"Let her come." Gu Yunting interrupted the woman in front of him, staring straight at Su Mengxue's drooping eyebrows, his Adam's apple moved, and his tone was cold enough to freeze.
Chunhua's hand, gripping the tape measure, stiffened slightly. She knew she was pretty good, but the customer's gaze seemed glued to Su Mengxue. Unconvinced, she slammed the tape measure on the table and hurried to the backyard to get the fabric the craftsman had asked her to find.
The old master hadn't returned from his lunch break yet, and Chunhua had gone to the backyard again. Now they were the only two left in the room, and Su Mengxue knew she couldn't hide.
She put down the work in her hands, grabbed the tape measure on the table, and reluctantly walked over to him. Then she said in a businesslike tone: "Comrade, what are your requirements for clothes?"
Gu Yunting lowered his eyes to look at him, his Adam's apple rolling, and said seriously, "It's cool, breathable, and you can put things in the pockets."
"Okay, come pick up the clothes in five days. I'll take your measurements first."
Su Mengxue unfolded the tape measure as she spoke, and her fingertips brushed against Gu Yunting's shoulder. After she wrote down the data, she quickly moved in front of him and passed the tape measure around his chest. She could feel his hot breath brushing against the top of her head, his strong heartbeat, and his tight, taut muscles beneath the fabric.
She felt a little uncomfortable for no reason and had to measure the data quickly.
The tape measure then came to his waist. As soon as her fingertips touched his taut waistline, she felt the hot and tight touch through his shirt in her palm. The memory of that night instantly came flooding back to her. She couldn't help but feel her throat tighten and her ears burning.
Just as her mind was dazed, her wrist was firmly grasped by a scorching hand. She came to her senses and looked up, only to meet those deep, dark eyes. Then a low, cold voice came to her ear: "You're distracted."
