Chapter 83 is a playboy
Qin Simiao helped Shao Chengyu up.
Lin Wei pressed the elevator button, and the three of them entered together.
The small elevator space was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Lin Wei stood in the corner, her brows slightly furrowed.
Shao Chengyu's tall frame leaned against Qin Simiao, his head slightly lowered.
"Lin Wei, please add me back on WeChat."
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and her voice carried a sense of estrangement.
"You've had too much to drink, Mr. Shao."
The elevator has reached the floor.
Qin Simiao helped Shao Chengyu out, with Lin Wei following behind.
As Qin Simiao reached the door of his suite and was about to swipe his card, Shao Chengyu broke free from his support.
He stumbled and grabbed Lin Wei's wrist!
Lin Wei was caught off guard and struggled for a moment.
"Old Shao! Let go! What kind of behavior is this?!"
Qin Simiao quickly tried to pry Shao Chengyu's hand away, laughing awkwardly as she did so.
"Tsk, Miss Lin, look at the state he's in..."
While prying open Shao Chengyu's fingers, Qin Simiao took out her phone from the inside pocket of Shao Chengyu's suit.
Open WeChat and bring up the QR code business card.
"Give him some face, Mr. Lin! Look how drunk he is!"
It's rare for you to come to Ancheng on a business trip, and Old Shao, as the "host," hasn't even fulfilled his duty tonight.
Still drunk like this? Let's add each other on WeChat, so we can look out for each other in Ancheng sometime.
Lin Wei pondered for a moment.
Shao Chengyu and Qin Simiao seem to have a good relationship.
By getting in touch with Shao Chengyu, you can get in touch with Qin Simiao.
The project she was working on belonged to the Qin family.
After weighing the pros and cons, she took out her phone to scan the QR code.
Shao Chengyu's eyes lit up.
Lin Wei put away her phone and nodded to Qin Simiao.
"Young Master Qin, please take care of President Shao. I'll head back to my room now."
The situation today is not suitable for discussing work.
There is ample time...
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Goodnight, beautiful Lin! Sweet dreams!
-
Lin Wei returned to her room.
Sinking into the soft armchair, my tense nerves relaxed.
I habitually picked up my phone, and under the name "Gu Jingcheng" was a long list of unread red dots.
Lin Wei's brow twitched, and she clicked on it.
"Have you had lunch yet? The cafeteria has sweet and sour pork ribs today, they taste pretty good! [Image]"
"I saw the sunset on my way home from get off work and wanted to share it with you. [Image]"
I passed by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses. Isn't it pretty? [Image]
Gu Jingcheng seemed to want to present everything he saw to her.
Lin Wei felt a pang of sadness as her heart was gently touched.
In a daze, it was as if I saw myself in a previous life.
In her previous life, she felt the same way about Gu Xuan.
If you eat a delicious dessert, take a picture and send it to him.
I saw an adorable stray cat on the street and wanted to record a video to share with it.
Her world was so small that it could only hold one person, Gu Xuan.
I was overjoyed and wanted to show him all the little beautiful things in life.
We await his response.
But all she got in return was Gu Xuan's "Mm" the next day.
Those sincere sharing efforts were ultimately drowned out by perfunctory responses.
She used to think that men weren't interested in the little things in life.
Now I understand, it was just that I didn't love him.
Lin Wei's lips curled up slightly, a hint of heartache in them.
She didn't reply to a single one.
Guilt filled my chest.
Lin Wei tapped her fingers on the screen:
"Sorry, I just saw the WeChat message. I just finished dinner and went back to the hotel."
Less than two seconds later, Gu Jingcheng made a video call.
Lin Wei smoothed her slightly disheveled hair before answering the call.
Gu Jingcheng's face appeared on the screen.
He was dressed in comfortable loungewear, with warm-toned lighting in the background.
His collar was slightly open, revealing his well-defined pectoral muscles, which were faintly visible.
Lin Wei felt her cheeks burning and took a sip of water to calm them down.
"You...you're still awake?"
"Yeah, I just finished showering. Weiwei, when are you coming back?"
"I'm going back tomorrow afternoon."
Lin Wei was planning to have lunch with Shao Chengyu tomorrow to discuss the Qin Group project with him.
Ask him to help me make a connection; I can go back to Jiangcheng this afternoon.
Gu Jingcheng's eyes held a hint of resentment.
His voice was deep.
"Weiwei, I miss you. Do you... miss me too?"
The Gu Jingcheng on the screen completely overturned Lin Wei's perception of him.
He actually used his stunningly handsome face to act cute with her through the screen.
His deep, magnetic voice was so beautiful it made her heart flutter.
This is completely different from his usual aloof and noble image!
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed.
He subconsciously picked up the water glass, brought it to his lips, but didn't drink it.
She secretly admired the man's resentful gaze.
A sweet feeling washed over me.
She gave a soft "hmm".
Two seconds later, Lin Wei's mind cleared up a bit.
He clenched his fist tightly.
He was probably... too immersed in playing the role of husband.
We must not fall.
Her past life experiences have made her hesitant to give her heart to any man without reservation.
She knew all too well the pain of giving her all only to be discarded like trash.
The hurt Gu Xuan caused her was deeply etched into her very bones.
She didn't want to experience that feeling of having her dignity crushed a second time.
Love is the most unreliable thing in the world.
She finally managed to climb out, how could she repeat the same mistake?
Moreover, she didn't have time for romance.
Gu Jingcheng is very good, so good that she sometimes feels dazed.
His sincerity, like a ray of light, melted her heart.
But the more this is the case, the more she needs to stay clear-headed.
She cannot afford the price of falling into ruin again.
Lin Wei looked away and took a deep breath.
"I... am a little tired and want to rest first."
"Okay... I'll wait for you to come back."
Lin Wei hurriedly pressed the hang-up button, afraid that if she looked at him for even a second longer, she would fall for him.
The screen went dark, and she leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
Without a heart, there is no pain.
This was a lesson she learned at the cost of her life.
Gu Jingcheng hung up the phone.
I went downstairs to get a bottle of soda water, but I haven't opened it yet.
Gu Huojun then came out of the study.
Without saying a word, he sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples.
Seeing that Gu Jingcheng had no intention of speaking.
His face grew even more somber.
Gu Jingcheng strode up the stairs.
A slightly angry voice came from behind.
"Gu Jingcheng, are you really not going to tell me who you actually married?"
"Is marriage a game? How can a father marry his son and never even meet his daughter-in-law?"
"I can't even give out a red envelope when we meet!"
Gu Jingcheng remained expressionless, his voice steady.
"Dad, what's the rush?"
I'll let you see me sooner or later.
"You brat, this is outrageous!"
"I don't care, you're bringing my daughter-in-law home for dinner tomorrow."
"She's on a business trip."
Gu Huojun's eyes lit up.
She's on a business trip, so it seems my daughter-in-law is career-oriented.
Gu Huojun's mood instantly improved.
He was initially worried that his son had been deceived by those women who only knew how to climb the social ladder.
It seems that Gu Jingcheng likes strong, independent women.
He was relieved, and his tone softened a bit.
"Alright, alright, you young people have your own rhythm, I understand."
"Go to Ancheng tomorrow and deliver a congratulatory gift to Old Master Qin on my behalf."
"Also, you are now a married person, so keep your distance from Qin Simiao."
He's a notorious playboy in Ancheng, don't let him mislead you.
Gu Jingcheng scoffed. His father was certainly keeping up with the times, even knowing about the playboy.
