Chapter 198 I've Never Liked Someone 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 cheeks. Her voice was half distressed and half conciliatory. "Muqing, if you have anything on your mind, you can't tell your mother."

"You scared me to death. If you had jumped down like this, how would I live?"

Father Gu stood aside, his eyes still red, and his words were inevitably reproachful, "You little brat, we raised you, you have no 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 glance at the absent-minded look on Su Mi's face, then turned and left.

Gu's father and mother thanked Su Mi and left.

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.

"Comrade, I am so sorry for you."

Su Mi responded calmly, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."

The policeman 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 shattered 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, "Honey, let's go too."

Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her calmly, his eyes deep and probing, "Have you finished your talk?"

"Well, sort of."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Xuanjin stood up and walked towards the elevator.

Su Mi raised his eyes to look at him carefully, and silently held his hand a little tighter.

The two got back into the car and prepared to go to the company to discuss what they had just discussed.

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 were here at this moment.

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 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 some emotion."

"What are you feeling?"

"Honey, how long have we been married?"

Xiao Xuanjin recalled silently for a moment, "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.

"It's fast. After all, happy days seem to go by fast."

She leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Husband, you...don't you even ask me?"

He didn't seem curious about what they talked about inside, nor did he ask her.

"Since you don't want me to know, you must have your reasons. Husbands and wives don't have to tell each other everything."

Hearing his words, Su Mi felt her eyes turn pale and her heart was filled with jealousy. She raised her eyes and saw his superior and cold 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.

"It could have been during the dive... or it could have been Christmas Day, or it could have been earlier."

His voice dropped, "It's so early."

Su Mi nodded, "Well, I've never liked anyone else except you."

She wants to seize the moment to express her love now, "and in the future as well."

Xiao Xuanjin gathered around the group more tightly. "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"I just think I should be more explicit 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 intensely.

Now I can't explain why I broke up with him, but I have to tell her my feelings.

"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 deceived him in the past 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 cell phone password, so he knew it after looking at her phone, but it was just a matter of time before he discovered it.

"How do you know?"

Xiao Xuanjin naturally wouldn't say that he figured it out by trying it out, and he kept his words airtight, "...I saw you unlock it once."

He had been unsure before and had tried again and again, but now that he thought about it, she had been using that number for so many years, it should 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 cozy. 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, so he gave her some practical suggestions.

Watch her revise and organize it.

He didn't deal with anything else for the whole afternoon. He devoted all his attention to her affairs and gave her guidance personally.

The two talked for an entire afternoon. Su Mi looked at the notes he had made and was still organizing them, preparing to go back and ask his subordinates to revise them accordingly.

They were just minor issues, but she wanted to make it perfect.

She looked so serious that she didn't notice 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, resting his arms on the armrests, and watched her drawing on paper with a pen.

Her long black curly hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing her delicate and small ear bones. Today she only wore a pair of vertical diamond earrings. It was very simple, and the tiny and sparkling light added a touch of clear and bright color to her gorgeous facial features.

Su Mi had no idea that Xiao Xuanjin had been looking at her until she had put her things in order and raised her eyes 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 my work. Which seat?"

Meng Yuncheng: "Brother is still abroad and doesn't have time to play with you guys."

He Fei: "Any wine?"
