Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Background Investigation Investigating his background...
When we arrived at the door of the cottage, the surrounding lights were bright and we could vaguely see people chatting in the garden.
Hearing the sound of a car, the garden door was opened from the inside, and Gu Jingchen and Qi Song walked out one after another.
Qiao Wanshu's eyes twitched slightly, "It's so late, and they're still not asleep."
He Shengnian pushed the door and got out of the car, asking them to help take the vegetables and fruits out of the trunk.
"Where did you go on a date today?" Seeing so many things, Qi Song's tone was sour.
"In the picking garden outside the city," Qiao Wanshu followed as they walked downstairs. "These were picked by Mr. He, Hulu, and I."
When they heard that Xu Qinghu was also there, their expressions became a little strange.
"Weren't you and He Shengnian on a date alone?" Qi Song couldn't help but ask, "Why is Xu Qinghu there too?"
Qiao Wanshu lowered her eyelashes. "She wrote Mr. He's name on the date card, and the program team arranged a group date for us."
This arrangement was a bit ahead of the times, making them wonder if they had heard it wrong.
"We can have a group date?" Qi Song quickly came to his senses. "Can other people do this too?"
Qiao Wanshu shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence." If Xu Qinghu hadn't written He Shengnian's name, they wouldn't have bumped into each other.
Gu Jingchen was in a complicated mood: "It's really a coincidence."
When he came home from get off work and saw You Zhi in the kitchen, he realized that there was someone else dating Xu Qinghu, and he was still guessing who that person was.
I didn't expect it to be He Shengnian, and I didn't expect it to be a dramatic three-person date.
"Then you..." Gu Jingchen paused slightly. He wanted to ask Qiao Wanshu about his feelings during the date, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was inappropriate.
Seeing her tired look, Gu Jingchen felt jealous, but more than that, he felt distressed. "You must be tired. Go back and rest first. I'll take care of the things in the trunk."
Qiao Wanshu gave him a grateful smile, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. He," Qiao Wanshu looked at He Shengnian who was going out to get something and said softly, "Thank you for today."
The man turned around and said you're welcome.
Qiao Wanshu didn't linger and headed towards the hut. Gu Jingchen and Qi Song followed closely behind, carrying bamboo baskets.
After they walked away, He Shengnian opened the back door and met a pair of bright and cunning eyes.
Xu Qinghu leaned back in his chair, as if he had expected him to come find him.
"Get off the car." He Shengnian frowned slightly.
Xu Qinghu yawned and looked up at He Shengnian, his eyes becoming hazy with sleepiness. "Why are you so fierce? I didn't say I wouldn't get off the car."
He Shengnian frowned even tighter, and his cold gaze fell on Xu Qinghu like an invisible mountain.
Xu Qinghu did not avoid his gaze, but blinked and said with a smile: "Hold out your hand, I have something to give you."
He Shengnian didn't move, and said in an even colder voice: "Don't waste my time anymore."
"Stretch out your hand," Xu Qinghu looked at him stubbornly, "I won't get off the car unless you stretch out your hand." He looked arrogant and unreasonable.
He Shengnian stared at her expressionlessly, "I don't need you to give me anything."
"Well," Xu Qinghu remained calm, "it's useless if you don't need it."
He Shengnian: “…”
"Hurry up." Xu Qinghu urged: "I'll leave after I give you the things."
After a brief eye contact, He Shengnian stretched out his hand in front of Xu Qinghu. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
If it wasn't a live broadcast, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.
Xu Qinghu leaned over and placed the object in his palm.
"You have to give it up," she said proudly, looking into He Shengnian's eyes, "There's nothing I can't give away."
He Shengnian only felt a warm breath coming from his palm. When he lowered his eyes, he saw a heart-shaped cherry, which was rosy and plump, about the same size as the plums in the picking garden. Because it had been held in Xu Qinghu's hand for a long time, it had already been infected with her body temperature.
He Shengnian was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect Xu Qinghu to give him a cherry.
"How is it?" Xu Qinghu stepped out of the car, his eyes sparkling. "This is the biggest and most beautiful cherry I've ever found. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be willing to give it away."
Her voice was pleasant to the ears, like a proud but soft-hearted kitten. Although her attitude was extremely arrogant, it was so dazzling that people could not help but feel soft-hearted.
He Shengnian's body stiffened, and he raised his hand to return the cherries to her. Xu Qinghu noticed his intention and immediately put his hands behind his back. "You can't take back what you've given away. I gave it to you, and you can throw it away or give it to someone else, but you can't give it back to me."
He Shengnian looked into her bright eyes and knew that she was deliberately trying to attract his attention. He turned his head away and said, "There's no point in you doing this."
"Whether it makes sense or not is my business," Xu Qinghu's gaze fell on his angular face, and he snorted softly, "I'm doing this purely for my own pleasure."
He Shengnian was about to say something else, but Xu Qinghu waved his hand and said, "I know you dislike me, so I'll leave on my own."
After saying this, she quickly left him, her steps light and graceful, like a twilight elf walking out of the darkness, pushing open the garden door and walking away.
He Shengnian looked down at the cherry. The temperature on it had completely dissipated. It was just an ordinary cherry.
Nothing special.
He stood there for a moment, as if wondering whether to throw the cherry in the trash or put it in the refrigerator.
What just happened? Is there something wrong with my eyes? Xu Qinghu actually gave Mr. He a cherry? My old swan, what on earth was she thinking?
[This is not simple, she is expressing her feelings to He Shengnian.]
[This is amazing! If she had given him an expensive gift, He Shengnian would have refused without hesitation, but she chose to give him a cherry.]
[She found the biggest and best one. Although it's not worth much, it has special meaning.]
[Sure enough, there was a reason I couldn't sleep so late. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen such a wonderful scene. I don't know if He Shengnian was moved, but I was.]
[Compared to Xu Qinghu, Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian's relationship was a bit dull.]
[It's obvious that Xu is too cunning. She took advantage of Qiao Qiao's return to her room to deliberately delay time to spend alone with He Shengnian. Does she think that this will win over He Shengnian? She doesn't even consider whether she is worthy of him!]
[Qiao Qiao is so nice, Mr. He definitely doesn't like Xu Green Tea!]
[Although, He Shengnian and Qiao Wanshu aren't locked in, is there something wrong with Xu Qinghu doing this? Only allowing Qiao Wanshu to interact with the male guests, while not allowing others to pursue their own happiness? Qiao fans, stop being so hypocritical.]
[Hulu is so cute. Not only is she pretty, she also has a great personality. She immediately expressed her feelings for He Shengnian. I envy her initiative.]
In the end, He Shengnian still didn't throw the cherries into the trash can on the side of the road.
Xu Qinghu walked into the living room and found only Gu Jingchen tidying up the refrigerator. Everyone else had gone upstairs to rest.
Hearing the door close, Gu Jingchen turned around. When he saw Xu Qinghu, his eyes darkened and he greeted her with a smile: "You're back. There's a separate dinner in the kitchen. Do you want to eat something else?"
Xu Qinghu looked back at him and said, "You forgot, I can't eat too much for dinner."
Of course Gu Jingchen didn't forget. He specifically found the topic to talk to Xu Qinghu.
He feigned helplessness: "Sorry, I was too busy at work today and my head is a little confused."
"Then you should rest early," Xu Qinghu changed into slippers and jokingly said, "Tomorrow is still a workday."
Gu Jingchen laughed, but he didn't forget the reason for calling her. "Did you enjoy your date today? Did anything interesting happen?"
He has a gentle personality, so asking such a question doesn't seem out of place at all.
Xu Qinghu stopped and said, "Of course I am happy. The picking garden is fun. If you have time, you can also go there for a stroll."
"Okay," Gu Jingchen put the tomato in his hand into the refrigerator, "Would you feel uncomfortable dating with three of you?"
"How could that be?" Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "Mr. He is very gentlemanly and takes good care of Qiao Qiao and me."
Seeing that she mentioned He Shengnian without any hesitation, Gu Jingchen's smile faded, "I didn't expect you to write Mr. He's name on the date card."
Although it was just a simple sentence, it carried a question that could not be ignored.
He was curious about Xu Qinghu's choice.
"Is it strange?" Xu Qinghu looked even more puzzled than him. "I went out with him last week. This time, of course, I wanted to get to know him better."
Seeing her calm expression and the fact that she seemed to have a good impression of He Shengnian, Gu Jingchen realized that last week's date had left a deep impression on Xu Qinghu about He Shengnian, and she made a decision in a short time.
His mood suddenly became extremely complicated. He didn't know whether he should be glad that Xu Qinghu chose He Shengnian, or sigh that Xu Qinghu didn't write his name.
Gu Jingchen lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "If you need assistance, you can always ask me for help."
"Okay," Xu Qinghu yawned slightly, unable to hide his sleepiness, and said, "It's getting late. I'm going upstairs to rest first."
Gu Jingchen heard this and said, "Good night."
Xu Qinghu also replied "Good night" and turned to walk upstairs.
Gu Jingchen looked at her back as she turned her head away. He had clearly wanted to find out how Qiao Wanshu and He Shengnian got along so as to formulate a strategy against his love rival, but when he talked with Xu Qinghu, he found that he wanted to know more about why Xu Qinghu chose He Shengnian.
After all, their previous date was very pleasant.
He even thought about where they would go on a date if Xu Qinghu wrote his name on the date card, but she chose He Shengnian.
Gu Jingchen stood there, his heart seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making him feel inexplicably lost.
After Qiao Wanshu returned to the room, he quickly went into the bathroom with his cell phone.
She raised her hand and dialed the phone at home. When she heard a slightly sleepy male voice from the other end, she lowered her voice and said, "Brother, please help me find someone."
"Who is it?"
A figure appeared in Qiao Wanshu's mind, and he slowly said, "The boss of Changning Law Firm, He Shengnian."
There was silence for a few seconds. "Isn't his information public and transparent? There's no need to investigate."
Qiao Wanshu did not express his suspicions about He Shengnian and insisted on asking his family to verify it.
"I see," the voice on the other end was filled with a mixture of fondness and helplessness. "I'll check for you tomorrow."
"good."
"How are you getting along with Du Yanting? Among so many people, he's the only one who's barely worthy of you. Don't waste your energy on the others."
Thinking of Du Yanting's handsome face, Qiao Wanshu's heart moved, but he didn't reveal too much of his thoughts. "Don't worry about this, I know what's going on."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanshu washed his hands and looked at the face in the mirror that was more pretty than delicate. He thought to himself, if he had the same beauty as Xu Qinghu, would his life be easier?
She examined herself in the mirror for a moment, feeling ridiculous at the sudden thought.
No matter how beautiful Xu Qinghu is, she is just a vase with beauty but no background. Even if she works hard all her life, she may not be able to reach her starting point.
What does she mind?
