"I……"
For a moment, Bai Lan panicked reflexively.
In the past, Gu Jiju would never take the initiative to invite herself out shopping.
His invitation from yesterday wouldn't be invalid today, right?
Bai Lan was very scared.
Even his expression changed.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you would take me out?"
Bai Lan asked tremblingly, his attitude even more humble than the receptionist next to him.
When the front desk staff saw this, several of them couldn't help but lower their heads and whisper to each other.
Gu Jiju waved his hand and didn't care about Bai Lan's little mood at all.
"I forgot, sorry, but I think I said ten o'clock, now..."
Gu Jiju looked down at his watch; it was only a quarter past seven.
According to his usual working hours, Gu Jiju came early today.
"You seem to be here early. It's only seven o'clock, and there are still three hours left. I also have a meeting to attend. I guess you'll have to wait here for a while."
"It doesn't matter."
After Gu Jiju finished speaking, Bai Lan quickly responded to the other party's words.
After saying this, Gu Jiju was left in a state of confusion.
Her urgency seemed to be written on her face.
"You can go to the meeting. Don't worry. I'll wait for you downstairs, or sit in the secretary's office. It shouldn't bother you, right?"
Gu Jiju said nothing and walked up by himself, leaving Bai Lan far behind.
Bai Lan chased after him in high heels, looking a little embarrassed.
Several employees behind him were whispering, and the sound became more and more obvious.
"Hey, what do you think of the relationship between these two people? Is it good or not..."
Someone sneered, seeming to feel a bit disdainful of the person's question.
"What's wrong with this? We're almost getting married, so it's just like that. Even if it's not good, what's the big deal? Can we still get a divorce?"
"That's not certain. After all, Mr. Gu's temper... who can say for sure?"
The two of them curled their lips and burst out laughing.
Little did they know that Bai Lan heard their conversation clearly.
In her heart, she was also worried that Gu Jiju would change his mind.
Will the originally agreed agreement suddenly change because of one thing?
This is what Bai Lan is worried about, and it is also what she doesn't want to see.
"Just wait outside. I'll have a meeting soon. Don't come in and disturb me."
Gu Jiju left very decisively, and didn't even want to say a few more words to Bai Lan.
The office door closed quickly.
The moment the door closed, Bai Lan was standing alone in the empty secretary's office.
This morning I met many employees who came to say hello.
But Bai Lan could see that these people were all looking at Gu Jiju's expression.
If there wasn't this relationship, who would care about Bai Lan's identity.
Who cares who Bai Lan is.
It was soon around ten o'clock.
Gu Jiju came out of the office and met Bai Lan who was waiting at the door again.
The two looked at each other, and Gu Jiju suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Let's go?"
This time, Bai Lan took the initiative to hold Gu Jiju's arm.
The feeling of intimacy made Gu Jiju tremble all over.
But he subconsciously wanted to shake off the other person, but before he could make any move, he was restrained by Bai Lan.
The stiffness continued until he entered the elevator, where it began to ease.
Bai Lan looked at him through the mirror in the elevator, her eyes somewhat evasive and escaping.
"Shall we eat outside later?"
Gu Jiju lowered his head to look at her, and while they were looking at each other, Bai Lan felt a little flustered and at a loss.
"I mean..."
"Can."
Gu Jiju took the initiative and didn't wait for Bai Lan to finish speaking.
"It just so happens that I'm free this afternoon. If you're not busy, we can eat outside."
"OK!"
Bai Lan was excited again.
The two got off the elevator one after the other and quickly drove to the mall.
There was a lot of traffic and crowds of people inside.
Bai Lan always stood beside Gu Jiju, sticking close to him.
The first floor of the mall is full of gold and diamond shops.
Gu Jiju turned the corner and entered one of the stores without saying a word. The two shop assistants greeted her warmly when they saw her temperament.
"Hello, what would you like to see?"
Gu Jiju remained calm and said coldly, "Hardware."
"Okay, let's take a look at the bride collection. These are the main styles of our store. And here, the rings look great on their own, too. What do you think?"
Gu Jiju didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on Bai Lan.
It seemed like Bai Lan had to decide.
Bai Lan was flattered and looked at Gu Jiju blankly.
"Yes... let me choose?"
Gu Jiju pretended to be intimate, but felt extremely disgusted in her heart.
"See if there's anything you like first. If not, we'll go to other houses."
The clerk felt that Gu Jiju's temperament was different as soon as he saw it.
It's like someone who would buy things for their significant other with a wave of their hand.
Wouldn’t it be a loss if we didn’t keep the big customers?
Without waiting for Bai Lan to react, the clerk quickly grabbed Bai Lan's hand.
"Madam, I see that you have a beautiful hand shape. I think this ring will suit you. I'll take it out and put it on you."
Without any explanation, a ring was already on Bai Lan's hand.
Bai Lan was stunned for a second and admired it for a long time.
“It’s really beautiful…”
"Yeah, there's this one too. You have fair hands, so anything looks good on you. People like us with dark hands can't achieve that effect. Take a look at this one."
Bai Lan just smiled without saying a word, obviously very pleased with the compliment from the clerk.
