Chapter 198 I Have Never Liked Anyone Else
When they saw the two of them coming out of the rooftop together, everyone outside breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Gu came over and held Gu Muqing's arm, tears rolling down her eyes. Her voice was half distressed and half compromising. "Muqing, if you have anything that bothers you, you can't tell your mother."
"You scared me to death. If you had just jumped like that, how would I have survived?"
Father Gu stood aside, his eyes still red, and his words were inevitably filled with blame, "Stinky boy, we raised you, you don't have the right to decide your own life or death."
Gu Mucheng didn't know whether he heard what they said or not. His face was expressionless and his lips were slightly pursed. Finally, he turned around to look at Su Mi's panicked and absent-minded look, then turned and left.
Gu's father and mother thanked Su Mi and followed him away.
Next to Su Mi were the two policemen. When they saw that she had really persuaded the man who was determined to commit suicide to come back, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to you, comrade."
Su Mi responded calmly, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
The police said a few more words and left.
Su Mi looked at Xiao Xuanjin who was leaning against the wall. He had his head lowered, his fine hair covering his eyebrows and eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
She walked over, took his arm, and slid her fingers into his palm, "Hubby, let's go too."
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her calmly, his eyes deep and probing, "Have you finished your conversation?"
"Well, sort of."
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Xuanjin stood up and walked towards the elevator.
Su Mi raised her eyes to look at him, examined him carefully, and silently tightened her grip on his hand.
The two returned to the car and prepared to go to the company to discuss what they had not just finished.
No one spoke in the car.
Su Mi looked at the scenery passing quickly outside the window, and his heart felt like it was pressed into the mud, making it hard to breathe.
System...Xiao Xing, it would be great if you could be here at this time.
Now, she seemed to have really walked into a wild desert, with yellow sand everywhere and she could not see the road ahead clearly.
Xiao Xuanjin beside her suddenly held her hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
He seemed to notice something was wrong with her.
Su Mi turned around, forced a smile, and shook his hand back, "Nothing, just a little emotional."
"What are you lamenting about?"
"Hubby, how long have we been married?"
Xiao Xuanjin recalled silently, "About a month."
"Yeah, it's been a month."
"Well, do you think it's fast?" He raised his hand and smoothed her hair that fell on her shoulders.
"Hurry, after all, happy days feel fast."
She leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Hubby, you...don't you even ask me?"
He didn't seem curious about their conversation inside, nor did he ask her.
"Since you don't want me to know, you must have your reasons. Husband and wife don't have to tell each other everything."
Hearing his words, Su Mi felt her eyes dry and her heart was filled with sourness. She raised her eyes and saw his superior and sharp jawline. "Hubby, I want to tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
"How early? What time?" Xiao Xuanjin asked carefully, with a smile on his lips and his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Maybe it was during the dive... or it was Christmas Day, or maybe even earlier."
His voice dropped, "So it's so early."
Su Mi nodded, "Well, I've never liked anyone else except you."
She wanted to seize the moment while she could still express her love, "Of course, in the future too."
Xiao Xuanjin tightened his circle around the man, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"I just think I should be more clear about it. What if you don't understand?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, and her tone stirred the atmosphere, trying to express her love more strongly.
I can’t explain why I broke up with him back then, but I have to tell her how I feel.
"I understand." He responded in a low voice, his tone filled with endless tenderness.
"You know?" Su Mi wondered how he could know. After all, he always believed that she had cheated on him and there was no true love at all.
"Well... because you still remember the number 1025."
That was the date of the day they were together.
It was also her phone password, so he knew it after looking at her phone, but it was just a matter of when he discovered it.
"How do you know?"
Xiao Xuanjin naturally wouldn't say that he figured it out by trying, so he kept it airtight, "...I saw you unlock it once."
He had been unsure before and had tried to test it again and again, but now that he thought about it, she had been using that number for so many years, it could represent everything.
"You actually discovered it, you have really sharp eyes."
"It just means I have good eyesight."
…
When they arrived at the company, they took the elevator together and returned to the office.
Su Mi still remembered what he was going to tell him today, so he took the plan and explained it to him in detail.
The room was quiet and the floor heating was warm. The two sat opposite each other. Xiao Xuanjin listened carefully to her details. It was the first time he heard her talk about work in such a vivid way.
Su Mi found that Xiao Xuanjin was meticulous in his work, had a unique vision, and thought comprehensively, and he gave her some practical suggestions.
Watch her revise and organize it.
He didn't deal with anything else for the whole afternoon, and devoted himself to her affairs, giving her guidance personally.
The two talked for an entire afternoon. Su Mi looked at his notes and was still organizing them with his head down, preparing to go back and ask the people below to revise them accordingly.
They were minor issues, but she wanted to do her best.
She looked so serious that she didn't care that it was already dark outside.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night view of the city has quietly arrived.
Xiao Xuanjin leaned back in his chair with his arms on the armrest, watching her drawing on paper with a pen.
Her long black curly hair was hooked behind her ears, revealing her delicate and small ear bones. Today she only wore a pair of vertical diamond earrings, which were very simple. The fine and dazzling light embellished her gorgeous facial features with a touch of clear and bright color.
Su Mi had no idea that Xiao Xuanjin had been looking at her until she put her things in order and looked up to meet his dark eyes.
Her earlobes turned red and she cleared her throat. "I'm almost done. What are we having for dinner?"
"What do you want to eat?"
Su Mi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we call a few people and go eat hot pot."
"hot pot?"
"Well, how's it going?"
"OK."
"Then I'll ask Yutong and Qianqian if they have time."
As he spoke, Su Mi took his cell phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to make a call.
Xiao Xuanjin looked at her back, opened his phone and sent a message to their group.
"Hotpot, is anyone coming?"
Wen Kai replied, "I have something else to do in the hospital, so I can't come. You guys eat."
Wu Cheng: "I just finished. Which position?"
Meng Yuncheng: "Brother is still abroad and has no time to play with you."
He Fei: "Is there any wine?"
