Once outside, Cheng Qicai realized how important it was to have someone drive her. It would take more than ten minutes just to drive out of the villa area, and she couldn't even find a subway station to get off at.
No wonder the female protagonist in the novel was caught so easily when she tried to escape. At this distance, you could run your legs off and still not see many people. How could she not be caught?
After driving for more than half an hour, Cheng Qicai finally saw the subway entrance.
"Mr. Gu, I'll get off up ahead," Cheng Qicai said hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'll take you to the company."
"..." The driver didn't slow down at all. "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Okay, in the time it takes to talk, we've already missed the subway exit.
Her company was some distance from Ouqi's, and she felt a little embarrassed, "Won't this interfere with your work too much?"
"No, after all, I'm the boss."
Such an irrefutable reason!
"Mr. Gu, if I really did something offensive to you last night, I'm truly sorry!" Cheng Qicai suddenly turned her head and looked seriously into Gu Rongqi's eyes.
Gu Rongqi was touched by the sincerity in her eyes and relaxed, saying lightly, "It's... not really offensive. I just like to invite people to play games together."
"But...it's best not to get so drunk next time!"
Gu Rongqi said this to her.
As for kissing him yesterday, since Cheng Qicai doesn't remember, there's no need to bring it up with her.
When Cheng Qicai heard him say that it was just a game, she felt relieved. It seemed that the dark circles under Gu Rongqi's eyes were just because he hadn't rested well from all the commotion.
The car arrived at Cheng Qicai Company.
Cheng Qicai got out of the car, bent down and said to Gu Rongqi, "Mr. Gu, could you wait a moment?"
Gu Rong started to speak.
Cheng Qicai ran quickly away into the distance, and when she ran back, she was carrying two steaming hot boiled eggs in her hand.
She bent down and handed the egg to Gu Rongqi, "Mr. Gu, I noticed you have dark circles under your eyes. Rolling this egg over them will help a lot."
She jogged over, her face flushed, and her bright eyes reflected his face. He thought Cheng Qicai was indeed a very energetic person.
Gu Rongqi took it and smiled at her, saying, "Thank you."
"Goodbye, Mr. Gu!" Cheng Qicai smiled and waved to him. "And thank you so much for giving me a ride today. Have a safe trip."
As Cheng started the vehicle, Gu Rongqi could still see Cheng Qicai standing in the same spot waving at him in the rearview mirror until he could no longer see her figure.
Gu Rongqi also turned his gaze away.
...
Because Ms. Yun was frightened, Cheng Qicai was worried about her condition and went home.
I called Mr. Cheng beforehand and learned that Ms. Yun's mental state had not been very good since she returned that day.
When she got home, she saw that it was true. Ms. Yun was sitting listlessly on the sofa, and even her favorite melodramatic TV shows couldn't elicit a reaction from her.
Seeing how different she was from her usual self, Cheng Qicai still felt a little sorry for her.
Although Ms. Yun was at fault in this matter, and Cheng Qicai had told her to mind her own business and not interfere in the affairs of the male and female leads, she didn't know the pain until she hit a wall.
Now they've learned their lesson and been hit hard like this.
People became much quieter, and Cheng Qicai was a little unaccustomed to not hearing Ms. Yun's loud voice for a while.
She glanced at Mr. Cheng and saw him sigh and shake his head.
Cheng Qicai walked over and sat down next to her, putting her arm around her shoulder and teasing her deliberately: "Mom, what's wrong? Did you lose at cards again? Why are you looking like a sullen old woman!"
“It’s nothing.” Ms. Yun paused, but couldn’t help but add, “I’m just an old lady anyway.”
"No way! You're still very young. Who your age has a louder voice? I don't even have a louder voice than you."
"Cheng Qicai, are you looking for a beating?" Ms. Yun shook off her hand, regaining some of her former composure.
Cheng Qicai said after seeing that she was in a better mood, "Actually, I asked Brother Lu that day, and he said that as long as you don't talk like that anymore, he won't treat us like that."
"I'm not..." Ms. Yun raised her voice, then lowered it and said in despair, "Forget it, I won't talk about them anymore."
“That’s right. As long as we don’t provoke them, we can live our own lives just fine, right?” Cheng Qicai continued to try to persuade her.
"That's true." Ms. Yun's mood gradually brightened.
Ms. Yun is a person with strong self-regulation ability; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to shoulder the burden of supporting two people at such a young age.
However, she was a little confused and hadn't quite grasped the situation yet. In her mind, she believed that what she was saying was for the female lead's benefit.
But in reality, she was just using old ideas and experiences to deal with the problems of the new era.
Seeing that Ms. Yun's mood had improved, Cheng Qicai clung to her and immediately went too far, making a demand: "I want sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner."
Ms. Yun pushed her aside and said with a smile, "I won't do it, go call your dad."
"Dad~" Cheng Qicai immediately turned her head and looked at Mr. Cheng pitifully.
“Okay, I’ll cook for you!” Mr. Cheng generously offered to cook for him today.
After spending two days with Ms. Yun and seeing that she had recovered considerably, Cheng Qicai felt relieved enough to go back to work.
Cheng Qicai's birthday had passed, and Gu Rongqi's birthday was approaching. She racked her brains but couldn't think of a gift to give him.
Give her something expensive; she definitely can't afford to give others something as expensive. Give her something cheaper...
Well, she probably gave you the cheapest one.
She had no choice but to inquire from various people, and her first choice was Lin Fengjie, who worked in the same office.
"A gift... of course, the latest graphics card, something related to gaming. If my girlfriend gave me the latest graphics card, I would be devoted to her for life."
Games? Cheng Qicai pondered, Gu Rongqi didn't seem like someone who would play games.
Originally, Gu Liji was the second choice, but he always watched her like a thief. If she asked him, he would interrogate her about everything from her ancestors to what she had for lunch. So Cheng Qicai gave up on asking him.
The third candidate is the female lead, Yun Su Ni. She has a boyfriend with the same status as Gu Rong Qi, so her opinion should be the most valuable.
Yun Su Ni quickly sent him a reply, saying that the gifts she usually gave Lu Qi were ties, cufflinks, wallets, and the like.
Yun Suni's answer was indeed much more reliable than Lin Fengjie's, and Yun Suni even kindly shared the pictures and links with Cheng Qicai.
Cheng Qicai looked at the links that Yun Su Ni had compiled into files, clicked on a few, and saw that they were all different styles, making her dizzy with excitement.
She thought the styles Yun Suni had arranged were all very good, and although the prices were a bit expensive, they were still affordable, so she browsed through the selections and randomly chose a style to buy.
Having resolved a major concern, Cheng Qicai instantly felt relieved.
