Before Cheng Qicai could react, Wu Jieyu's video call was disconnected.
Cheng Qicai was still completely confused when a voice came from above, "What are you looking at?"
When Cheng Qicai heard the familiar voice, her hair stood on end in fright.
The noise was loud, and her attention remained focused on the surveillance camera.
She didn't even know when Gu Rongqi had stood behind her, mainly because the surveillance footage was still playing back images of her and Yang Linghan.
The only good news is that she didn't play the sound publicly just now for fear of disturbing customers.
The only thing visible in the footage is him and Yang Linghan talking non-stop; there are no other actions.
She had just been bragging to Wu Jieyu about how good her spot was, right under the surveillance camera. She also claimed her own camera was high-definition and captured everything clearly.
The more triumphant I was just now, the more frustrated I am now.
She quickly pressed the spacebar with her left hand to pause, and hurriedly swiped the mouse with her right hand to click the "X" on the monitoring page. She was so anxious that her hand was shaking when she held the mouse.
Before she could move the mouse pointer to the top left corner, her hand was grabbed and she stopped in her tracks.
"What's the panic? What are you looking at that you shouldn't be looking at?"
Gu Rongqi's deep voice rang in her ears, and the tips of her ears involuntarily turned a faint blush.
Cheng Qicai thought to herself, "It really is something that shouldn't be seen."
The words "东西" (dōngxi) should be pronounced with emphasis.
"It's nothing!" She moved her hand that was being held.
She tried to swipe up on the mouse to turn it off, but she applied too much pressure with the back of her hand and the mouse didn't slide.
“Lying.” Gu Rongqi chuckled.
Although his tone was calm and smiling, Cheng Qicai detected a hint of coldness in his voice, a feeling reminiscent of how Ms. Yun often asked her if she wanted bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork.
Cheng Qicai's skin tensed up involuntarily for a moment.
Gu Rongqi pressed Cheng Qicai's hand down with his right hand, while lightly tapping the space bar on the keyboard with his left.
After pressing the button, he didn't pull his hand back.
From a distance, it looks like Gu Rongqi is bending down and hugging Cheng Qicai.
Cheng Qicai was confined to the small space of the chair and table, with Gu Rongqi's chin very close to the top of her head, so she couldn't move away even if she wanted to.
She dared not move, like a criminal awaiting the judge's verdict.
She felt Gu Rongqi holding her hand as he slid the progress bar.
Fortunately, the two people in the surveillance footage were standing a considerable distance apart when they spoke, so it looked like they were having a normal conversation.
At least Cheng Qicai didn't see anything wrong between the two.
Cheng Qicai instantly became more assertive and confident, "I already told you it's nothing! He's just someone I knew before."
Although she really didn't want to say that she knew Yang Linghan, she didn't want to say anything else about their relationship.
"Okay!" Gu Rongqi chuckled again for no apparent reason, then reached out and ruffled her hair.
Gu Rongqi moved his hand away, and Cheng Qicai immediately turned off the surveillance camera.
To divert his attention from this, Cheng Qicai changed the subject, asking, "Why did you come so early today?"
"Is it a bad thing that I came early?"
Cheng Qicai's smile froze, and she said insincerely, "Of course it's great, I love it when you come to wait for me every day."
Gu Rongqi did not expose her hypocrisy.
Watching Cheng Qicai go to work, he sat in the seat that Cheng Qicai had prepared for him.
The spot where it used to be by the window is gone. Cheng Qicai moved it to a small corner behind the cashier at the entrance. The old office chair has been replaced by a warm yellow sofa with two brightly colored striped cushions.
On the oak tabletop, there are not only the books I often read, but also a few pink lisianthus flowers in a colorful ceramic vase.
It's much quieter here than the previous spot, and there's no one coming and going to bother me.
But he had already gotten used to the store's environment, and now he didn't feel any noise inside. When he got tired during work hours, he would look up and see Cheng Qicai not far away, which made him feel very at ease.
Gu Rongqi looked up from his computer when his desktop was tapped.
"Is it ready?" Cheng Qicai asked.
She's on the early shift today, so she can leave earlier.
"Wait a moment, I still have some data to review."
Cheng Qicai nodded, "Then I'll go over there and buy a cake to eat."
Cheng Qicai bought two mango cakes at the cake shop. When she returned, she saw Gu Rongqi packing his computer into his bag.
Seeing Cheng Qicai approach, Gu Rongqi zipped up his laptop bag, held the bag in one hand, and took Cheng Qicai's hand with the other.
"I bought two cakes, mango flavored." Cheng Qicai waved the cakes in her hand. "You can have one, and I'll take one."
She remembered that among fruits, Gu Rongqi preferred mangoes.
"good."
When he got home, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Every time he came back, Gu Rongqi would take the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook.
When they first started dating, Cheng Qicai felt embarrassed because Gu Rongqi kept cooking for her.
After all, Gu Rongqi was once the man who signed contracts worth hundreds of millions. It's fine if he cooks for me occasionally, but now he's taking care of all my meals every day. It seems like a waste of his talents.
She asked Gu Rongqi, "Won't you get tired? You don't have to cook for every meal."
“No,” Gu Rongqi kissed her, “I’m always happy when you praise my cooking.”
"That's all?" Cheng Qicai asked, puzzled. "You're too easily satisfied."
No... it's mainly because of you.
"Sweet talk." Even though she said that, Cheng Qicai still clung to him affectionately.
