Chapter 159
Xiao Peiyin was not fully conscious and agreed without thinking. As a result, the next day Gu Cunxi and An Ran agreed to go meet Weiwei's mother together to put their minds at ease. Xiao Peiyin could not resist the two of them. She was isolated and helpless and could only listen to Gu Cunxi's opinion.
After meeting with Weiwei's parents, they took Anran to the restaurant they had booked. As soon as they entered the door, they heard a young girl calling them
"Little An Ran" Wei Wei ran to them in a small floral dress, and An Ran looked back at Gu Cunxi and Xiao Peiyin, and introduced them: "Mom, this is Wei Wei, my best friend at school."
Xiao Peiyin squatted down, smiled and stretched out her hand to Weiwei: "Hello, little friend, I am Anran's mother."
A woman came up from behind. Gu Cunxi felt familiar with her at first sight. She was wearing a long dress with a waistband, and she looked gentle and elegant. She also looked at her and was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Gu!" The woman raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise and walked forward to shake hands. "I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence!"
Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the woman
Gu Cunxi thought for a long time before he remembered that this woman was the director of their public relations department, her name was Han something...
Unable to recall the name, she felt a little embarrassed, reached out and shook the woman's hand and said, "Well, what a coincidence, you are from the public relations department..."
"Han Xirong"
While talking, Weiwei pulled Anran to her seat first. Han Xirong reacted and quickly gestured for them to sit down and chat.
When ordering, Gu Cunxi took the menu and asked Weiwei about her preferences. He ordered two children's meals and two toys. When the waiter brought the toys over, the two children's eyes suddenly lit up. Gu Cunxi smiled unconsciously when he saw how simple and easily satisfied they were.
"Mr. Gu, I heard Weiwei say she wanted to play with An Ran, so I invited An Ran to go to Sanya together." Han Xirong looked at Xiao Peiyin and said, "You are An Ran's mother, right?"
Xiao Peiyin nodded and said softly, "Yes, I originally wanted to take her on a trip, but An Ran said she wanted to go with Wei Wei, and I couldn't persuade her."
An Ran licked the ice cream and glanced at Gu Cunxi. Gu Cunxi felt guilty when An Ran looked at him. He thought that this girl must know something.
Han Xirong nodded and said with a helpless smile: "Children nowadays are too opinionated. I can't change my mind. I know you are worried about Anran's safety. You can rest assured that I will take good care of her."
"Besides, even if I don't consider other things, I have to keep an eye on An Ran because of Mr. Gu, otherwise I will lose my job!" Han Xirong said jokingly.
As a public relations director, Han Xirong was very good at speaking. She knew that Xiao Peiyin could not completely trust her, so she assured her and directly brought up Gu Cunxi to reassure her that she would take good care of An Ran even for her job.
"Mr. Gu..." An Ran muttered, looking at Gu Cunxi: "Isn't your name Gu Cunxi? Why does Aunt Han call you Mr. Gu?"
An Ran always said something that Gu Cunxi couldn't answer, saying that she was Han Xirong's boss, and in such a private occasion, it was a little inappropriate, but she couldn't refuse to answer. Han Xirong took over the conversation and explained for her: "Because Gu Cunxi is better than me at work, I have to call her President Gu."
An Ran tilted her head and said in disbelief, "Is Gu Cunxi really that powerful? But she's not powerful at all in front of my mother."
“…”
Xiao Peiyin felt embarrassed when she heard this. She glanced at Han Xirong and found that she was staring at her with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. She quickly interrupted An Ran and said, "Isn't ice cream enough to stop you from talking..."
An Ran stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. After finishing the children's meal, she dragged Wei Wei to the rest area to play with building blocks. Gu Cunxi went to the cashier to pay the bill under the pretext of watching the child. Before leaving, he gave Han Xirong a look.
After a while, Han Xirong came out. Gu Cunxi took out the prepared envelope from his bag and handed it to her: "I'll trouble you to take care of Anran. This money is just a small gift. I don't know if it's enough for your expenses."
Han Xirong took the envelope, put it in his pocket without looking at it, and said jokingly: "I wanted to earn a favor from Mr. Gu, but you really didn't give me the opportunity to show your courtesy. I'll take the money."
She said it without pretense, nor would she pretend to shirk responsibility. Gu Cunxi liked Han Xirong's straightforwardness and started jokingly: "I'll leave the child to you. If there is any loss, I will deduct your salary."
"For the sake of money, I have to treat her as my own daughter."
*
Seeing that Gu Cunxi hadn't returned for a long time, Xiao Peiyin left her seat to look for her. As soon as she reached the corner, she saw Gu Cunxi smiling at Han Xirong. She leaned against the wall and looked at her, occasionally touching the hair by her ear. From the side of her face, she could see that she was smiling happily, with her eyebrows curved, and there was no trace of her previous stern and cold attitude towards her subordinates.
Although she knew that Han Xirong was married and had children, she felt uncomfortable when she saw her smiling warmly at Gu Cunxi. She stood at the corner for a long time, but Gu Cunxi didn't notice her and kept his eyes on Han Xirong. Xiao Peiyin turned around and walked away, holding her breath.
After returning to her seat, Xiao Peiyin took a big sip of ice water. All she could think about was Gu Cunxi's eyes curled up with laughter. She rarely saw Gu Cunxi do this to others. Even Cheng Sheng and Jiang Rao had never laughed so happily...
He actually left her here and smiled at another woman. Xiao Peiyin became more and more depressed the more she thought about it. She sat down and took An Ran's unfinished ice cream and started eating it in big mouthfuls. She wanted to cool down. She was on fire.
Not long after, Gu Cunxi and Han Xirong returned together, huddled side by side. Xiao Peiyin didn't want to show it, wanting to give Gu Cunxi face in public, so she decided to deal with her at home. Seeing the two approach, Xiao Peiyin smiled warmly, stood up to greet them, reached out to hold Gu Cunxi's hand, and asked, "What took you so long?"
Gu Cunxi was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Peiyin to take the initiative to hold his hand in front of Han Xirong. Without thinking too much, he explained, "I went to pay the bill and ran into Xirong, so we chatted for a while."
Han Xirong saw Xiao Peiyin frowning visibly, but quickly regained her composure and coughed awkwardly, "Mr. Gu, it's getting late, so I'll take Weiwei back first. I've booked a flight for tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you for your help. I will take An Ran to the airport tomorrow. See you tomorrow." Gu Cunxi pulled out his right hand that was held by Pei Yin and shook hands with Han Xirong to say goodbye.
After sending Han Xirong and Weiwei away, Gu Cunxi took An Ran by the hand and asked her to sit in the back seat. He opened the passenger door for Pei Yin, but was met with a cold stare. Xiao Pei Yin directly passed her and sat in the back seat.
Gu Cunxi stood there in a daze for a long time. Because An Ran was not around, he couldn't ask her. He closed the passenger door awkwardly and got in the car.
Xiao Peiyin was talking to An Ran in the back seat all the way. She was ignored as if she were air. Gu Cunxi interrupted her but Xiao Peiyin ignored her. Then she realized
She is angry
After returning home, Gu Cunxi sent An Ran back to her room to play for a while, then pulled Xiao Peiyin to the bedroom, closed the door, locked it, and pushed her against the wall and asked, "Xiao Peipei, why are you ignoring me?"
Xiao Peiyin pushed her twice, obviously not with all her strength. She turned her head away and said sourly, "As long as Xirong pays attention to you, does it matter whether I pay attention to you or not?"
Gu Cunxi immediately understood what Xiao Peiyin was feeling awkward about. He wanted to laugh, but teased her, "But Xirong is gone, and you're all I have left."
Xiao Peiyin's heart was already awkward, and after hearing what Gu Cunxi said, it became even more awkward. She lowered her eyes and pushed her away. Just as she was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed by Gu Cunxi and she stumbled and fell into her arms. Gu Cunxi opened his arms and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear: "Are you jealous?"
"No..." Xiao Peiyin refused to admit it and struggled twice. Gu Cunxi kissed her cochlea, which made her feel itchy. He also laughed in her ear: "Han Xirong is straighter than the telephone pole outside."
"Before I met you, I also thought I was straight!" Xiao Peiyin retorted. Seeing that she really frowned and became serious, Gu Cunxi stopped teasing her and said seriously: "Me too, before I met you, I never thought I would fall in love with a woman."
Xiao Peiyin was thinking, wanting to hear a few more words from Gu Cunxi. She ignored her and pretended to be angry, pushing her away. Gu Cunxi thought she was really still angry, so he grabbed her slender waist, buried his head in Xiao Peiyin's neck and kissed her. He explained as he kissed her, "It's because of An Ran that I'm worried and gave her more instructions. I can't be as cold and indifferent to people as I am at the company."
Thinking of the scene in the corridor, Xiao Peiyin pouted and said, "Is it because you can't say cold words to others that you smiled so happily at her?"
Gu Cunxi was stunned for a moment, then took a moment to react and asked, "In the corridor? Did you see it?"
Xiao Peiyin remained silent, a gesture of acquiescence. Gu Cunxi recalled the incident and smiled again, asking, "Do you want to know what we were talking about that made you laugh?"
Without waiting for her to answer, Gu Cunxi said to himself: "Because we talked about you and the rumors about the previous company."
Xiao Peiyin immediately became interested and held her face, waiting for Gu Cunxi to continue. Gu Cunxi wanted to laugh when he recalled it, and said while laughing: "If it weren't for Han Xirong, I wouldn't know there were so many versions about us. Some said that we were together, and then you dumped me, so I deliberately came back to get revenge on you and made things difficult for you in the company."
"It seems a bit close," Xiao Peiyin laughed, and asked, "What else?" Gu Cunxi pouted and retorted, "Not close at all. I'm not taking revenge on you. It's embarrassing... yes, but it hurts my heart too."
"Also, I've fallen in love with someone else, Su Bai, and I'm deliberately making things difficult for you to force you to leave." Gu Cunxi became increasingly helpless as he spoke, adding, "If they put their imagination into research and development, there wouldn't be no breakthroughs in PC products."
Xiao Peiyin teased her, "Have you transferred your feelings to Su Bai?"
Gu Cunxi straightened up instantly and raised his hand to swear: "I didn't, I swear to God, I only looked at her twice more because her eyes looked a lot like yours, and I mistook her for you at first sight."
Xiao Peiyin suddenly remembered the first time they met again. It was at a company meeting. That day, Gu Cunxi was stunned by Su Bai, which made her feel sad. It turned out that it was because she looked like herself. Xiao Peiyin smiled secretly in her heart, but said calmly: "Then why did you accept the amulet she gave you? You looked very happy."
Gu Cunxi said nothing, put his arms around her waist, clasped her tightly, and stopped at her lips. He licked them with the tip of his tongue, then moved to her ear and kissed her earlobe. He said, "Because you were peeking at me that day, I want to know if you still care, and if you will be jealous that I accepted a gift from another girl."
"It turns out that if you care, you can run faster than a rabbit."
Xiao Peiyin recalled the day when she saw Gu Cunxi smiling at Su Bai and accepting her amulet. She could not bear it and had to flee. Gu Cunxi's thoughts were also pulled back. At this point, she wanted to tell everything clearly and untie all the knots she had buried in Xiao Peiyin's heart, so that there would be no grudges from now on.
She continued with her previous words, her tone a little lower: "Seeing you run away, I had no choice but to chase you. In the elevator, I wanted to hold your hand, hug you, and kiss you hard, because I missed you so much during those years. I brought you to the office and wanted to ask you if we could start over, but I was so angry that you left me four years ago without any explanation, so I said those stupid things in a rage."
"So, please forget what I said that day. Just treat it as my crazy ramblings. Don't take it to heart, okay?"
Gu Cunxi touched her face, wanting to move closer to kiss her, but Xiao Peiyin dodged him. Her heart tightened, and she hurried to find her eyes. There was mist in her gentle eyes. Xiao Peiyin did not answer, but held her with both hands and turned in a circle. She was afraid that Gu Cunxi's back would hit the wall, so she protected her back with her right hand and pushed her against the wall, raised her head and pressed on her, not gently, but a little domineering, prying her open, climbing up, unbuttoning, and gently removing the covering on her body.
During the kiss, she murmured, "I...have...forgotten." When he moved away from her lips, Gu Cunxi was able to breathe and responded to her pantingly, "Just...remember...that I love you."
Gu Cunxi raised his head and cooperated with her. His skin was left with a burning heat. His clothes were scattered all over the floor. Gu Cunxi pushed her to the bed.
"Gu Cunxi, how long are you going to occupy my mother?"
"Gu Cunxi, can you help me build blocks?"
“I want to eat strawberry cake.”
The childish voice outside the door was like a basin of cold water poured over him. Gu Cunxi hugged Xiao Peiyin, shuddered, sighed awkwardly, and smiled at each other before getting out of bed.
