Su An felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so he simply put down his phone and stopped reading messages.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchen's expression finally eased a little.
Just then the waiter came in, and everyone changed the topic and started ordering food.
Since they still had work to do the next day, no one drank any alcohol. After dinner, they went to the hotel to rest as soon as possible.
As soon as he entered the room, Su An heard Qin Rou sigh.
"Oh... Mr. Gu is such a nice guy! I used to think rich men were all high and mighty, but I never thought there was such a perfect man in the world! Handsome, rich, and capable, and more importantly, he's so good to his wife! His wife must be so happy every day!"
Su An paused when he heard this, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Are you happy?
These two words never belonged to her...
Su An was thinking about it when he heard Qin Rou change the subject and say, "But to be able to marry Mr. Gu, her own conditions must be excellent. She must be excellent in all aspects, unlike ordinary people like us..."
"Yeah?"
Su An finally couldn't help but whispered back a question after hearing this. A self-deprecating arc flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly, "Maybe it's not that she's a good wife, but marrying into that kind of family...you have to do it well..."
"Hmm? An An, what did you say?"
Qin Rou was stunned when she heard this, not quite understanding what was said.
Su An was stunned for a moment and shook his head hurriedly, "It's okay, I was just talking casually. You should get some rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow. I'll wash up first."
As she said this, she turned around and went into the bathroom.
As soon as the door closed, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
All I could think about was Gu Jingchen's "pleasant" look over the past two days.
She really didn't expect that Gu Jingchen would be so approachable at work.
Maybe it's because they are not employees of Gu's, so he subconsciously wants to maintain his image?
But it doesn't matter.
She just hopes that this cooperation can end quickly.
The next day——
After they had rested, they gathered in Gu Jingchen's room early in the morning.
Gu Jingchen had already made the "arrangements".
Looking at the people standing in front of him, his eyes passed over Su An calmly.
He then began to assign Qin Rou and two other male colleagues to do other work, and then spoke.
"Su An, come with me to the lab, take notes, and record all the data from the equipment."
Su An paused when he heard this, and a complex emotion flashed across his eyes.
She and Gu Jingchen...
Two people alone together?
Su An pursed his lips, feeling a little helpless.
But thinking about how he had just mentioned the content of the work, he couldn't refuse, so he just agreed, "Okay, Mr. Gu."
Gu Jingchen was satisfied after hearing this and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few more words, the group prepared to set off and separated downstairs.
Su An watched the other three people walk away before turning around and getting into Gu Jingchen's car.
This familiar location made her lose her mind for a moment.
Gu Jingchen was in a good mood, with a smile on his face as he watched Su An fasten his seat belt. Then he started the car and suddenly asked.
"An An, did you sleep well last night? If you're not used to living with others, I can arrange for everyone to separate today..."
His tone was much more intimate than before in front of everyone.
Even the way he addressed her became more intimate, and his words were full of concern for Su An.
Su An's mind moved when he heard this, and he deliberately didn't look at Gu Jingchen.
He replied in a businesslike manner, "No need, Mr. Gu. Business trips are supposed to be cost-effective. I'm not unaccustomed to it."
Her tone was indifferent and distant, as if the two of them were really just superiors and subordinates who didn't know each other well.
Gu Jingchen's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, and he wanted to say something else.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Su An had turned his head to look out the window, not wanting to continue the conversation.
His eyes darkened, and he hesitated for two seconds. Finally, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and a look of self-mockery quickly flashed across his face.
Mr. Gu...
An An actually called him that in private as well.
The line between the two of them seemed to be becoming increasingly clear.
It turns out that liking someone can make people so cautious.
He wanted to try his best to show his performance in front of her and let her see his transformation.
But I was afraid of causing her disgust, which would not be worth the effort.
But is there any better way besides this?
What should he do to make An An give him even the slightest chance?
No conversation along the way.
The two of them came to the laboratory and factory in the suburbs.
The person in charge there had already received the notice and had been waiting at the door for a long time.
As soon as Gu Jingchen got out of the car, he changed back to his previous "leader" look. He first visited the entire laboratory environment, and finally came to the most critical place to monitor the experimental data.
Su An has always been by his side, responsible for recording various data.
It took two full hours before the work was almost done.
"Mr. Gu, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Why don't I treat you to lunch today? Let's..."
"No need, I have other work to do at noon."
Gu Jingchen refused without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, and then signaled Su An to leave together.
The other party had no choice but to stop talking and hurriedly said, "Then I'll see you two off..."
"That's not necessary. We can do it ourselves. You go ahead and do your work."
Gu Jingchen declined again.
It was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with Su An, and he didn't want to miss a single minute of it.
At lunch, they were the only two together.
I just don't know how to say it so that An An can agree...
Gu Jingchen thought about it, finally nodded to the other party, and left with Su An.
There is a long corridor leading to the door of the laboratory.
Gu Jingchen made sure that no one could hear what they were saying, so he spoke.
"An An, I have a meeting soon, so I might need you to be my secretary. After that, we can have lunch and meet up with the others this afternoon, okay?"
Su An paused after hearing this, and was not at all surprised by Gu Jingchen's arrangement.
His expression was somewhat hesitant.
In other words...
She would be alone with Gu Jingchen until the afternoon.
Is he really... just doing it for work?
However, there is indeed no one else except her now.
It seems I have no choice but to agree.
Su An thought about it and was about to speak.
But suddenly I felt the ground beneath my feet shake!
She was startled, her eyes widened instantly, and she didn't react for a moment.
Then I felt that almost everything within my sight began to shake violently in an instant!
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound in my ears!
Earthquake?
Was there an earthquake?
A terrible guess suddenly exploded in his mind, leaving Su An's brain blank for a moment.
The next second——
"An An! Run!!!"
Su An felt his hand being grabbed by a gentle hand and suddenly pulled forward!
Everything happened in an instant.
Su An's mind was blank. He could only feel that his hand was tightly grasped by Gu Jingchen, as if it was about to sink into his palm.
The exit is right in front of you.
There was an empty parking lot outside. As long as they could run out, they would be safe!
Su An finally came to his senses and quickened his pace to keep up with Gu Jingchen.
But just at this moment——
She suddenly heard a huge collapse sound behind her!
Su An's heart suddenly shook, and his feet subconsciously followed Gu Jingchen forward, but his body tilted uncontrollably.
Then his eyes suddenly widened!
They saw that the room they had just come out of had collapsed into ruins!
There are still people there!!!
