Ji Shuyu disappeared, not answering her calls or replying to her WeChat messages, and Ada didn't dare tell anyone where she was.
When Gu Xiuyuan found her, she was sitting in a coffee shop with a young man.
The two seemed to have been chatting for a long time. When he was about to leave, the man stood up, pulled out a chair for Ji Shuyu, and handed her a coat?
The man looked young and good-looking, and his smile was so bright and charming that it seemed like he had received professional training.
Ji Shuyu looked at the man and smiled, while Gu Xiuyuan looked at him with a red face and lowered head, looking shy.
What? Are you trying to play the innocent younger man game?
Little puppy?!
Perhaps it was because his aura was too strong and the oppressive feeling was too strong, the young man noticed him, and then he nodded slightly.
Ah!
I don’t know what he said, but I saw Ji Shuyu glance over here and then smiled.
The man waved at Ji Shuyu, his face facing him sideways. Gu Xiuyuan couldn't tell what he said, but he must have said something flattering.
Goodbye, sister?
Gu Xiuyuan's temper flared up as he thought about it. He waited for his little woman to give him an explanation, but she didn't even look at him and just walked past him...
She just walked away like that!!
“…”
Gu Xiuyuan followed closely.
Ji Shuyu walked quickly, but when she reached out to push the door, her wrist lost strength and she couldn't push it open. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Xiuyuan hatefully.
Seeing her expression change immediately, Gu Xiuyuan secretly said that something was wrong and quickly reached out to open the door for his wife.
He suppressed his laughter and said, "Wife, don't be angry..."
Seeing her lift her leg and walk away, he held her hand and gently helped her move her wrist.
The angrier Ji Shuyu got, the harder he could not hold back his laughter. In the end, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Only when his calf was kicked hard did he stop.
Coming out of the cafe, he saw a huge poster on the building opposite and then he remembered who the person was.
He is the cousin of a close friend of Huo Shaoqian, the star that the little girl named Xu Youyi likes and is her brand spokesperson.
So that brat just now did it on purpose?
Ji Shuyu walked towards her car, and Gu Xiuyuan got into the driver's seat first.
"what?"
"Honey, didn't we agree to meet the designer?"
"But you said you were missing last night." Ji Shuyu glanced at him indifferently, as if saying: Have you forgotten what you said?
“…”
Last night he asked her to help him, and when she complained about being tired and said she had to meet the designer tomorrow, he said... then he would disappear.
cough……
"Wife, didn't you say that men's words in bed can't be trusted?"
"Oh, so what you said about loving me last night was a lie."
“…”
Well, he really offended the little woman.
"Honey, don't be angry~" He held her hand, "Next time I promise..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the little woman's sneer.
"Wife, please tell me how you can forgive me!"
"Then go to the back and get something for me."
Is it that simple? Although I was confused, I still got out of the car. But as soon as I walked behind the car, it started.
“…”
Looking at the car going away, Gu Xiuyuan was so disheveled in the cold wind...
…
Having offended someone he shouldn't offend, Gu Xiuyuan had no choice but to change the appointment time. After that, both of them were busy and he even had to go out on a business trip at the last minute.
Bishuiwan
It was already past midnight when Gu Xiuyuan came back. He knew that Ji Shuyu had been accompanying her grandmother recently, so he went straight upstairs.
Ji Shuyu was half asleep when she felt something sink behind her.
"Wife." He called her softly.
For a moment, Ji Shuyu thought she was dreaming. She looked around with hazy eyes?
"Why are you back?"
Her voice was so mumbling that it made Gu Xiuyuan laugh. "Mrs. Gu, it's a bit hurtful when you say that!"
What do you mean, why is he back?
She hadn't opened her eyes yet. He was leaving for a week. Was she confused because of her sleep?
I was confused, and then I checked the time on my phone...
"I'm back early." Seeing her thoughts, Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and brought it close to his lips and kissed it. "Why are you so tired? Didn't you say you're not allowed to stay up late?"
After making sure she wasn't dreaming, Ji Shuyu turned over and rubbed against his arms.
"There's an uncle I know who wants to give my wife a gift, but it's hard to refuse..."
He clearly had something to say, but he fell asleep again as soon as he moved his lips.
Hearing that the little woman in his arms had fallen silent, Gu Xiuyuan smiled helplessly and kissed her cheek.
After she fell asleep, Gu Xiuyuan got up, washed up simply, and when he went out to get some water, he found that the light in the study was not turned off.
He walked over and saw a yellowed drawing among a bunch of messy drawings. When he opened it, he found some previous designs inside.
The first cufflinks she had designed for him were in there, as well as... a wedding dress that looked very old.
Gu Xiuyuan's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
On the last page there is a design draft of a wedding dress, which is based on the original design and has been completed.
His fingers gently stroked it, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
As he was watching, he heard the sound of fluttering footsteps behind him. When he turned around, Ji Shuyu had already reached the door.
"Why are you up?"
"Xiuyuan, you're really back!" She rubbed her eyes, "I thought I was dreaming."
Gu Xiuyuan listened and took a few steps forward to hug the sleepy little woman in his arms, "Did you miss me?"
"Um."
"Honey, I'm sorry," he said, kissing her forehead.
"Why are you saying sorry all of a sudden?" She looked up at him, thinking he was talking about what happened a few days ago, "I didn't give birth..."
I'm sorry for the hurt I've suffered, and I'm sorry for not cherishing you from the beginning.
"I'm sorry for everything that made you unhappy." He kissed her lips and then hugged her tightly: "Honey, I love you."
"Silly boy." Ji Shuyu smiled and tiptoed to kiss his lips.
The gentle kiss was like a key to open the door to longing. Gu Xiuyuan hugged her tightly and kissed her back affectionately, melting all his longing and love into this kiss...
…
The next day.
Ji Shuyu slept until the afternoon. After getting herself ready, she asked Mu Ran to come out for dinner. This girl had not been seen since her birthday, but as expected, when they video chatted, she said she was busy again.
"Mu Ran, you're the one who values women over friends!!"
"I'm not putting women before friends, I'm just really busy." Mu Ran turned the camera to show her a pile of documents on the corner of the table.
"Working overtime on weekends? How inhumane!"
"Yes! I think so too." Mu Ran nodded in agreement.
"How have you been... lately?"
Ji Shuyu was worried. Although she said she wanted to give it a try, she always felt that Ranran was still worried.
"Yeah, it's pretty good."
Although she said this to reassure her friend, she also knew that she couldn't lie to her, but overall it was really good. At least Yuchi Lei was really trying his best to repair their relationship.
Knock knock
There was a knock on the study door. She nodded and then hung up the video.
Yuchi Lei pushed open the door and walked in with a tray in his hand. After seeing her hang up the video, he took another look at her.
"Little Fish." She said casually.
"...Ranran, I don't mean anything else." Yuchi Lei explained.
㱗During the worst time for two people, a phone call or a message can become a flashpoint of conflict.
"I know." Mu Ran smiled, "Xiao Yuer said that asking employees to work overtime on weekends is inhumane."
It was only after she was transferred here that Mu Ran found out that Yuchi Lei was her new boss, and realized that their reunion was not a coincidence. Even if they hadn't met that time, they would have met again in the future.
"My bad." Yuchi Lei smiled, then nodded in agreement. "To show your apology, you eat first and I'll take care of the rest."
He pulled out a wet pan to wipe her hands, then pressed the chopsticks into her hand. "Try it and see if my cooking skills have improved."
Mu Ran looked at Yuchi Lei.
During this period of time, they really seemed to have returned to the past, cooking together, taking a walk after dinner, he would help analyze the work that drove her crazy, and sometimes he would take care of Miaomiao, everything seemed so beautiful.
But this feeling made Muran feel unreal and she didn't dare to cling to it, because the unpleasant past would always pop up inadvertently, just like she explained just now that it was Xiaoyuer who posted the video.
Maybe he really didn't mean anything else, but this subconscious explanation reminded them that what had really happened was like a tiny thorn that was imperceptible when not touched, but once touched, the pain was quick and sharp.
"What are you thinking about? Eat first." Yuchi Lei looked at her with a smile and raised his hand to ruffle her hair. "I'll take you somewhere later."
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know in a moment..."
