Chapter 72: Chasing Someone
"Let's end the meeting here. Everyone, please adjourn."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the conference room. Everyone packed up their things and left in an orderly manner.
The man in the main seat was looking through the documents in his hand with a serious expression. His slender fingertips flipped through the papers and he glanced at Ji An who hadn't left yet. "Why don't you leave yet? You have nothing to do."
Ji An rested one hand on the back of the chair and leisurely twirled the pen in his other hand.
"Of course not as busy as you."
"I have something to tell you." Ji An said.
Gu Moyang continued to flip through the documents in his hand and said calmly, "Why do you have to talk about this here? I have a meeting later. Let's talk about it when I get back to the office."
"It's a small matter. It won't take you more than a few minutes. You won't know what time it will be by the time you get back to the office."
Ji An put down the pen in his hand and said, "I'm going to Sucheng this Friday to attend a friend's wedding. I'm telling you so that no one will accuse me of skipping work."
"Which friend of yours?" Gu Moyang asked casually.
"Wang Hao, I guess you don't have much impression of him. He was the one who lived in the dormitory next to ours. I used to go to their dormitory to use the washing machine so I got to know him. His wife is Cheng Lu. I heard they started dating in college and are now getting married."
Gu Moyang's hand that was turning the page paused.
Cheng Lu?
Isn’t that Jiang Jibai’s roommate?
When she was in college, she took him to meet several roommates, and they all had a good relationship.
The last time we met at the bar, it seemed that only Cheng Lu was missing. It turned out that she had married and moved to Sucheng.
That means she will definitely go to Cheng Lu's wedding.
Gu Moyang remained calm and said, "I'll go with you on Friday."
"Huh?" Ji An put his hand down. "He also sent you a wedding invitation? I remember you two weren't familiar with each other."
Gu Moyang: "No."
"That's not a good idea." Ji An crossed his arms, "At least they have their families with them. I'll take you with me..."
Gu Moyang closed the file and glanced at him, "We're all alumni going to a wedding, so what? Can he really chase me away? I won't give him less money."
Hearing what he said, it seemed to make sense. He suddenly thought of something, "Aren't you flying abroad this Saturday? The wedding will be held on Saturday, so is there still time?"
Gu Moyang: "I will fly directly to Sucheng then."
"Is it really necessary to go to a wedding?" Ji An was suspicious, "Are you really going to a wedding?
Gu Moyang didn't hide it, "No, I'm going to chase someone."
—
Thursday night.
It was already late. After Ji An finished his work, he saw that the light in Mo Yang's office was still on.
I pushed the door open and saw a man sitting on the sofa packing his luggage.
"You fired Assistant Wu? Is it your turn to do this yourself?"
Gu Moyang, who was sitting on the sofa collecting things, glared at Ji An and said, "Can you have some sense of boundaries? If you come in without knocking next time, you can just jump out of this French window."
Ji An smiled playfully, trying to get away with it, "If I had a sense of boundaries, could I get along with you?"
Gu Moyang: "..."
To put it nicely, Gu Moyang is cold and aloof in front of those enthusiastic girls. To put it bluntly, he is repressed and shy. If you want to be friends with such a person, you have to be proactive and shameless enough.
After getting to know him, you will find that he is actually a talkative person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He values feelings very much and he will not mistreat those who treat him sincerely. This is why Ji An is willing to follow him.
He saw the mess of things half-stuffed in the suitcase on the table and said in surprise, "You're just going to a wedding, not escaping. Besides, why would a grown man like you bring all this stuff?"
Gu Moyang ignored him and silently put the prepared things into the suitcase one by one.
Ji An was stunned by what he took out of the bag, everything was beyond his expectations.
"Are you going to use this heat-warming patch? You don't look like someone with a weak constitution." He saw Gu Moyang holding a box of heat-warming patches and putting it neatly into the box.
Gu Moyang stared at the box of heat pads for a moment, not knowing who he was talking to, "The temperature in Sucheng is not high, it will be cold if you wear a bridesmaid dress."
"Huh?" Ji An frowned in confusion, "You're wearing a bridesmaid dress?"
Gu Moyang was speechless. "I said I prepared it for you. Do you believe me?"
Ji An coughed a few times and said, "My Yang Qi is very strong and my vitality is full. I don't need that thing."
What about warming patches, calming incense, heel patches...
He was not a fool, he could guess for whom Gu Moyang had specially gone to Sucheng to attend the wedding.
Ji An was horrified. "Isn't this...sanitary pad a bit too outrageous..."
Gu Moyang's face was calm as he continued to put the packages neatly away. It was not like he had not prepared for her before. He remembered her date and it was almost time. Maybe he would prepare it earlier. She had experienced this before.
"Just in case."
Ji An thought he was quite scary. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not like she doesn't have a close friend. If something unexpected happens, wouldn't her close friend buy it for her? It's not your turn to worry about these things now."
Gu Moyang's hands suddenly stopped moving, he was a little dazed, and after a brief moment of distraction, there was a look of loss in his eyes.
"Don't blame me for being harsh. She was the one who abandoned you back then. There's no need for you to try to please her now."
Guilt flashed in Gu Moyang's eyes, and he continued to put the things in his hand into the suitcase. "What happened before was all my fault. I don't blame her."
Ji An was surprised at his 180-degree change in attitude.
Seeing that he had no intention of continuing to speak, Ji An did not pursue the matter any further.
Anyway, he is going to hang himself on this tree, so let him be.
After a while, he packed all the things he had prepared earlier. There were not many of his own things in the suitcase, which only took up a small space. The rest of the space was filled with things that Jiang Jibai might need.
"Aren't you flying directly from Suzhou? What are you going to do with all this stuff then? A lot of these things aren't allowed on planes."
Gu Moyang, "Help me deal with it."
“…”
Ji An regretted saying this.
"How about taking Assistant Wu with you?"
Gu Moyang glanced at him and said, "Since both of us are not here, he needs to stay in the company. Otherwise, you stay in the company and I will take Assistant Wu with you. He is more useful than you."
Ji An: “…”
Don’t even think about it!!!
--
He had a lot of things to carry, but he didn't come to help. In the end, it was still Ji An who had to carry them all.
Ji An got into the driver's seat and glanced at the man sitting in the passenger seat.
The dog was dressed up carefully, with a 3:7 hairstyle that perfectly highlighted his superior bone structure. The slightly slim-fitting brown wool coat brought out his excellent head-to-shoulder ratio. He wore a dark half-high collar sweater underneath and had a faint scent of perfume on his body.
"Are you going to grab the bride after all this?" Ji An teased.
Gu Moyang glanced at him lightly, "You are not bad either."
Ji An chuckled twice, "How do you think Lin Shanshan and the others will go? Will they drive, fly, or take the high-speed rail? If they drive, we can actually carpool with them, right?" Ji An glanced at the person next to him.
"There's no room." Gu Moyang said, "We have to pick up Sun Yiran later. How are six of us going to fit? Are you going to sit under the car?"
Ji An: "You think too much. They won't share the car with us if you're here."
Gu Moyang: "..."
"Ji An, I've noticed that you've been speaking more and more boldly lately, just like Sun Yiran."
Ji An smiled secretly: "I dare not, Mr. Gu."
Inner thoughts: It feels good to see the boss get humiliated.
--
It was almost noon when the car arrived at the hotel that Cheng Lu had booked for them in advance.
Cheng Lu and Wang Hao had been waiting for them in the lobby long ago.
"Hello! Over here!" Cheng Lu shouted and waved at them when she saw them, and then called Wang Hao and several other men to help them with their luggage.
Jiang Jibai and the others didn't care about the luggage at all. They rushed forward and the four of them hugged each other.
Although it hasn't been long since we last met, we are all very happy to be able to get together as a four-person team.
"Have you eaten yet?" Cheng Lu held their arms affectionately.
Lin Shanshan: "What do you think? I drove for almost four hours just to bring you all this stuff."
She pointed to the large and small bags in the hands of several men.
Cheng Lu: "Are all these for me? I love you guys so much!"
Wang Hao came over pushing several suitcases and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming all this way and bringing so many things with you. It must be hard work."
"It's not hard." Lin Shanshan pulled Cheng Lu and smiled mischievously. "Just treat us to something delicious later."
Cheng Lu: "Of course. What do you want to eat? Local cuisine, beautiful rice, or hot pot?"
Lin Shanshan: "We want the most expensive one."
Cheng Lu: "That roadside stall! Let's go!"
Lin Shanshan looked at Wang Hao standing aside and complained, "Look at how stingy your Cheng Lu is. She came all the way here just to bring us to eat at a roadside stall."
Wang Hao knew they were joking, so he looked at Cheng Lu lovingly and smiled without saying anything.
She was making noises and he was laughing.
Jiang Jibai saw it all from a third-person perspective. They had a really good relationship, and he felt envious of this love that lasted from campus to wedding.
She didn't have this blessing.
The other men were locals from Suzhou and were all friends of Wang Hao. They had already eaten and left after saying hello.
Cheng Lu and Wang Hao took the three of them directly to dinner, and the hotel staff would deliver their luggage to the room.
Before leaving the hotel, three men came towards me.
One of the men, who had the most outstanding temperament and figure, was walking in the middle, pushing a black suitcase. Jiang Jibai's heartbeat suddenly stopped.
Why is he here too?
