Fang Jie readily wrote a check for the prize money he promised for the competition to Chu Jiaojiao, since banks need to close so late.
Chu Xingyue handed the check to her younger sister, Chu Jiaojiao. Holding the warm check in her hand, Chu Jiaojiao's eyes crinkled into a wide smile. It felt like a dream. She had earned so much from just one competition? It seemed like this really was a money-making opportunity.
The group didn't linger, exchanged a few pleasantries with Fang Jie, and then prepared to go home. Fang Jie saw them all off at the door before smilingly going to get his car.
"You go back first, I have something to do," Gu Yanci said to Li Si beside him.
"Alright, alright, you womanizer. Remember to give me two more days off." Li Si whispered in Gu Yanci's ear and quickly left, as if afraid Gu Yanci would change his mind.
"There aren't enough seats for all of you, so I'll take An'an home."
How could this person be so blatant? He's good friends with the eldest and second brothers, shouldn't he be escorting them home? Why is he escorting her sister alone? He definitely has ulterior motives. Chu Jiaojiao was extremely annoyed by Gu Yanci.
An'an only had two days off, and she hadn't even had enough time to spend with her sister yet, and this person was trying to steal her time. How annoying!
If Chu Jiaojiao's gaze could kill, Gu Yanci would have been dead countless times by now.
Gu Yanci had actually noticed Chu Jiaojiao's gaze long ago, but he stubbornly refused to look at her. You have to be thick-skinned to win over your wife. Although he promised Chu Xingyue yesterday that he wouldn't bother her, that didn't stop him from making his presence known to Chu Xingyue.
Chu Xingyue only had two days off, so he had to make the most of every minute to be around her. Now their car couldn't fit one more person, which was the best arrangement God could make for him.
Chu Xingyue didn't think much of it; a peacock wants to display its feathers to show off in front of its mate!
Two cars were parked at the entrance.
Chu Lezhi drove, and Xia Yiyang got into the car first. Chu Jiaojiao wanted to follow her sister, but before she could take a step, Xia Yijun and Chu Qingzhi each grabbed an arm and pressed her head down into the car.
"A-Ci, make sure An-An gets home safely. We're leaving now, be careful on the road." Chu Qingzhi winked at his good friend before getting into the car.
As the car door closed, Chu Jiaojiao's indignant voice could still be heard inside: "Why can he go home with An'an? I want to go home with An'an too." Chu Xingyue looked up when she heard her sister's angry voice, her bright eyes staring at Gu Yanci with a half-smile.
"Well, I just offered to sit here because I saw there wasn't enough room in your car, so it wouldn't be awkward for you to have an extra person!" Whether Chu Xingyue was embarrassed or not, Gu Yanci was definitely embarrassed by Chu Xingyue's stare.
Keep acting, I'll just watch your performance.
"Let's go! Brother Gu, it's an honor that you're taking me home." Chu Xingyue playfully raised her chin.
"Alright, Miss!" Gu Yanci almost blurted out "my Miss's," but then realized it wasn't quite right and dropped the "my."
The car drove quietly for a while. Gu Yanci saw in the rearview mirror that Chu Xingyue had taken off her hat and mask. Her face, which always amazed him, stirred a wave of excitement in Gu Yanci's heart.
"Is the team under your company?" Chu Xingyue broke the silence first.
