Seeing her slightly furrowed brow and the pain on her face, Gu Rongqi nodded slightly, "Yes, a little, but it's all in the past."
The calmer Gu Rongqi's expression, the more Cheng Qicai felt that he was suppressing his emotions.
If someone who dislikes complaining about being tired says he's a little tired, then he must be incredibly tired.
"That's terrible," Cheng Qicai said, picking up her chopsticks and taking out a chicken leg. "Hurry up and eat a chicken leg to replenish your strength. I should have ordered you a pig brain instead."
Gu Rongqi chuckled softly and silently ate the chicken leg in his bowl.
Some things need to be said in moderation.
They originally thought that Gu Liji would just call and complain a bit.
I never expected to see him at the door when I got home the next day.
The three of them entered the house.
"Brother Gu, what brings you here?" Cheng Qicai looked at him in surprise.
Gu Liji's words were laced with barbs: "What, can't I come over?"
Cheng Qicai looked at him sincerely and said, "No, I just thought you should be working overtime at the company at this time."
Gu Liji: "..."
This time, Cheng Qicai really got the truth.
Seeing that his face looked rather thin, Cheng Qicai didn't say much in the way of teasing him.
Gu Liji didn't reveal his purpose for coming all night. Cheng Qicai, being perceptive, said she had to go back after dinner. She could tell that Gu Liji had come to talk to Gu Rongqi about something.
So she refused Gu Rongqi's offer to take her home and went back alone.
Gu Rongqi walked her to the elevator, kissed her forehead, and said, "Message me when you get home, and be careful."
"Okay, goodbye."
After watching the elevator doors close completely, obscuring Cheng Qicai's figure, Gu Rongqi turned around and went back home.
He sat on the sofa, looking at Gu Liji.
Gu Liji asked anxiously, "Brother, is there really no way you can reconcile with Uncle and the others? I can't take this kind of life anymore."
“No,” Gu Rongqi shook his head, “at least not now.”
The only ones who can compromise between them are themselves, not him.
Since neither side could convince the other, there was nothing they could do but remain in this stalemate.
"But brother, you're just giving up on such a big company like Ouqi? Don't you think it's a waste?"
Gu Liji really didn't expect that Gu Rongqi would go to such lengths for love. Time flies, and a year has passed.
“I’m living a good life now, and I’m very satisfied.” Gu Rongqi glanced at him. “It’s good that they plan to train you.”
As soon as Gu Liji entered, he noticed the changes in Gu Rongqi's room, which was filled with Cheng Qicai's style.
Cartoon water cups, colorful sofa cushions, fresh flowers throughout the room...
Gu Liji leaned back on the sofa and wailed, "No! Brother, you can't do this to me. I'm going to get depressed from Uncle's scolding."
Gu Rongqi didn't even frown, and said bluntly, "Liji, it's no use for you to talk to me."
Gu Liji also understood that his brother had made up his mind about something since he was a child, and that he would not change it.
Not to mention that he's now completely head over heels in love.
Gu Rongqi continued, "Instead of talking to me about these things, you should spend your time learning about the company's business."
But……
Gu Liji looked at Gu Rongqi's resolute profile, then closed his mouth again.
It seems that there's no way to get through here.
He returned empty-handed.
On his way back, he saw that Gu Lubo had called him; the white characters for "Uncle" looked like a death warrant.
Finally, Gu Liji reluctantly answered the call, addressing the man respectfully and cautiously, "Uncle."
