After dumping the poor tycoon, 13
Qi An'an was so angry that she stopped watching the movie and threw her phone aside.
Xiao Hei suddenly spoke up, "Hey, the mission progress has finally moved!"
Qi An'an opened her eyes wide, "How much was moved?"
Xiao Hei: "1%!"
Qi An'an: "..."
She fell asleep before Gu Shi returned.
Gu Shi returned from the study in the early hours of the morning.
Only the bedside lamp was still on in the room. Qi An'an was curled up in the quilt, sleeping close to the edge of the bed, with only her forehead and messy black hair showing.
There was a large empty space on the other side, with a blanket and a pillow placed on it.
A few days ago, she started having the hotel send her new blankets, and every time she slept, she would curl up on the edge of the bed, far away from him.
The room lights were turned off, and Qi An'an, who was fast asleep, felt a little suffocated, as if the air she breathed in was scalding hot.
She tried to throw off the blanket while still half asleep, but her hands seemed to be restrained and she couldn't move them.
"Qi An'an, get some sleep."
A low, husky voice, with a slightly seductive quality, sounded from above.
She thought she was dreaming, gave a soft "hmm," and drifted off to sleep again.
It wasn't until her biological clock woke her up that she opened her eyes and saw the man's collarbone, Adam's apple...
She was stunned. Why had she run into his arms again?
Who took the initiative this time?
The man had already opened his eyes. He withdrew his hand from her waist and stood up calmly.
Qi An'an was forced to sit up with him, still slumped in the blankets, her eyes still blurry with sleep. A strand of her bangs curled up to the side, and her slightly pursed lips were like blooming rose petals, red and alluring.
Qi An'an looked down at the blanket in her arms; it wasn't the one she had been using.
She asked lazily, "How did I end up in your bed?"
Gu Shi stood by the bed, stretching his arm that had been pressed down by her all night, his eyes growing increasingly dark and deep.
You should ask yourself that question.
"..." It would be strange if Qi An'an knew.
The little black ball of fur suddenly floated over, its tone eerie, "An'an, he's the one who pulled you over! I saw it!"
Qi An'an: "..."
She looked up and stared intently at Gu Shi, but he remained expressionless and walked away.
She quickly got up and followed him, saying, "I'm a very good sleeper. I definitely didn't mean to sneak into your bed. You can trust me."
Gu Shi: "Oh."
He clearly didn't want to continue the topic, and his attitude was very cold.
Qi An'an wasn't going to let him off the hook. "Anyway, it wasn't my intention to lie in your arms."
He stopped and looked down at her. "Was it me who took the initiative to hug you?"
She didn't speak, but her almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, her meaning quite clear.
That's exactly right!
Gu Shigao said coldly, "I find it uncomfortable to hold."
"..." By the time Qi An'an realized what was happening, the man had already gone into the bathroom and closed the door.
She asked Xiao Hei, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
His attitude showed absolutely no sign of guilt.
Xiao Hei: "...Impossible, he really did it! Do you believe him or me?"
Qi An'an: "I believe you."
Xiao Hei: "..." How perfunctory.
One person, one mind, then shrank back under the covers, wanting to stay in bed a little longer.
In the bathroom, Gu Shi slowly washed his hands with cold water. He glanced at his reddened ears in the mirror and reached out to cover them, but his cold hands still couldn't cool them down. For a moment, his expression became even colder and more aloof.
When he came out, he didn't see Qi An'an, so he glanced into the room.
Qi An'an's spirits have improved a lot in the past few days, and even her complexion has become rosy. Now she has snuggled back into the quilt and gone back to sleep.
Gu Shi glanced at the time; it was already past his usual breakfast time.
He stood at the doorway and called softly, "Qi An'an, get up."
Qi An'an wasn't sleeping very soundly to begin with, and she woke up as soon as she heard the sound. Without thinking, she said, "You go out first, I can come later."
Because she wasn't fully awake, her voice was very sweet and soft.
Gu Shi paused, his voice deepening, "Qi An'an."
It was just a name, but its power was considerable. Qi An'an felt a sense of crisis for no reason, so she opened her eyes and got out of bed. "Okay."
She put on her shoes with her head down, walked past Gu Shi like the wind, and rushed to wash up.
Gu Shi: "..."
Today, Qi An'an's breakfast was pumpkin and millet porridge. She ate it with a contorted face, her resentful eyes glancing at the man opposite her several times, but she received no pity whatsoever.
She couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "This has no taste..."
Gu Shi: "Mm."
Qi An'an turned into a bitter gourd, "Can I have some noodles?"
Gu Shi then looked up at her, "Who was it that said yesterday that they never wanted to eat noodles again?"
Little Bitter Gourd: "...Eh."
Her stomach is still very sensitive. She gets bloated after eating sandwiches for two days in a row, and she's also tired of noodles.
Hearing the sigh, Gu Shi glanced at her slightly furrowed brows and asked, "Is it really that bad?"
She pushed the bowl towards her, saying, "You'll see when you try it."
She thought he would refuse, but instead he took a bite directly from her spoon.
The smell was alright, but the millet didn't taste very good, and the pumpkin wasn't sweet at all. It was just so-so, but not bad either.
Qi An'an leaned closer to observe his expression, saying, "I didn't lie to you, did I? It really doesn't taste good."
Gu Shi put down his spoon and said, "Then you can eat later."
However, Qi An'an found it troublesome and took the bowl of porridge back. "Never mind, it's good for my stomach anyway, I can just bear with it."
After saying that, she frowned again and continued drinking her porridge.
Gu Shi looked at her little expression and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly upwards.
Qi An'an happened to notice.
Seeing how much pain she was in while eating, he actually laughed?
She stared at him intently, feeling that the meal was even less flavorful.
Gu Shi had already finished breakfast and looked at her calmly. "Looking at me, you can still have an appetite?"
She shook her head and said in a resentful tone, "But I think you seem to have a good appetite."
Gu Shi: "..."
He used to find everything tasteless, but these past few days his appetite for breakfast has been quite good.
He stood up, looked down at her and said, "What do you want to eat later? Have someone bring it over. Don't make it sound like I'm mistreating you."
"No need, I can't eat that much." Qi An'an picked up the bowl and finished the last of the millet porridge in one go.
"what ever."
Gu Shi took out a piece of paper, placed it beside her, and then left.
However, when he reached the entrance, he remembered his extremely natural, habitual action just now. He pursed his lips and glanced back.
The girl picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth. When she saw him looking back, she raised her hand and waved, "Be careful on the road."
The dining table was bathed in the morning light; her hair, the slight upturn of her lips, her whole being seemed to glow.
Gu Shi turned her head, lowering her eyes to hide her slight nervousness.
Qi An'an only heard him say "hmm".
After the door closed, Xiao Hei popped out and nestled softly on her head, "An'an! The mission progress has advanced by 15%~"
Qi An'an nodded. "It seems like he's planning to get along well with me."
This is a good thing.
Xiao Hei: "But you haven't added each other as friends yet..."
Qi An'an: "...Take your time."
She yawned and went back to her bedroom for a nap.
——
As usual, Xiaolin took Qi An'an to the sanatorium.
As soon as she got into the car, Qi An'an took out her phone and looked at the young man in the driver's seat, "Brother Lin, can I add you as a friend?"
Xiao Lin, wearing frameless glasses, looked quite refined. Upon hearing her words, he didn't immediately agree, but instead replied seriously, "Excuse me, I need to ask President Gu first."
Qi An'an: "???"
No, you're just an assistant. Do you even need to ask permission before adding other people as friends in private?
A faint smile played on her lips. "Okay, go ahead and ask."
Kobayashi glanced at the rearview mirror, then quickly looked away, suppressing his pounding heart.
He had followed President Gu for so many years and had seen many beautiful women, but none of them could compare to the one in the car.
As Xiaolin dialed the phone, she silently repeated to herself: I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm just here to work...
When Qi An'an saw that he actually made a phone call, her eyes became glazed. Xiao Lin would be doing a disservice to his dedication if he didn't earn a million-dollar annual salary!
"What is it?" Gu Shici's deep voice came from the phone.
With a calm and collected demeanor, Xiaolin said, "Mr. Gu, Miss Qi wants to add me as a friend."
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
Qi An'an shrank back into the back seat, utterly despondent.
Xiaolin turned around and relayed Gu Shi's words, "Miss Qi, Mr. Gu asked why."
Qi An'an lifted her eyelids, and the thin sunlight shining through the car reflected in her almond-shaped eyes. She looked like a cat lazily basking in the sun, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Your boss Gu didn't accept my friend request, so I can only add you. I can ask you to pass on messages or something in the future."
Her voice could actually be heard on the other end of the phone.
But Kobayashi still repeated it.
Gu Shicai said, "Have her call me."
Xiao Lin turned her head and said politely, "Miss Qi, Mr. Gu asked you to call him."
Qi An'an shook her head and said, "No."
Kobayashi: "...Okay."
No, why would he want to be a mere messenger?
Qi An'an hadn't made the call yet, but her phone vibrated when she was almost at the sanatorium.
The displayed number belonged to Gu Shi.
He called.
Qi An'an answered the call and held it to her ear, "Gu Shi?"
Standing in front of the wide French windows, Gu Shi leaned back in his chair, his shoulders slightly relaxed, but his cold and handsome face showed no sign of relief.
He watched the steam rising from the coffee and heard her voice coming from the other end of the phone.
Gu Shi.
When she calls him by his full name, he always feels a sense of distance.
He didn't speak, and it remained quiet on the other end. He could only hear the noise outside the car, and perhaps her breathing.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Her voice brought him back to his senses.
He didn't know what to say, but he felt he should make a phone call.
"If you need anything in the future, just contact me directly. You don't need to go through Xiaolin to relay the message."
"Okay." She paused for a moment and asked, "Then could you accept my friend request?"
After a long pause, Gu Shi finally uttered, "It's expired."
Qi An'an: "..."
Oh right, she only applied once, and that was a long time ago.
"I'll add you right now, I'm hanging up."
After she finished speaking, Gu Shi only heard the beeping sound from the phone.
A short while later, he opened WeChat and, sure enough, saw her friend request.
Inside the slowly moving car, Xiaolin was forced to listen to the entire phone call, feeling her brain pounding.
Didn't Mr. Gu and Ms. Qi date five years ago?
Now that they live together, it can be considered a reconciliation after a broken relationship.
But why do they look so unfamiliar?
Living together, but not close? 6.
