Chapter 23: You won’t pledge yourself to me this time?
"Are you tired this afternoon? You don't look well."
When Gu Xiucheng received the call from Ning Mingluo just now, he felt that his face was not very good, but there were too many people around, so he didn't ask directly.
Now there were only two of them in the car, and Gu Xiucheng asked immediately.
"You figured it out?"
Although he had only met Wu Le briefly in the afternoon, the events of his previous life had left too deep an impression on his mind, and he had been weighing this matter on his mind.
He thought he had fully recovered when he was eating just now, but now Gu Xiucheng saw through it at a glance.
Noticing that Ning Mingluo was not in the right state, Gu Xiucheng frowned: "What unhappy things happened?"
Ning Mingluo wouldn't be so silent if he was simply tired. That meant something must have happened in the afternoon that he didn't know about.
In fact, Gu Xiucheng himself was also surprised that he had never been able to perceive other people's emotions.
But if this other person was Ning Mingluo, he seemed to be able to automatically interpret all of Ning Mingluo's emotions.
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng, not knowing how to express his thoughts to him.
In public, this is his boss and he works for him. It seems inappropriate to complain about his emotions to his boss.
Personally, they seemed to be slowly becoming familiar with each other, but he always wondered why he could become friends with Gu Xiucheng, as they were obviously worlds apart.
But apart from Gu Xiucheng, he seemed to have no friends and no one to talk to.
When he was a child, his family was poor. Whenever he had time, he wanted to help his grandmother and had no time to spend with others. Later, he entered the entertainment industry by chance, and he had even less time.
He thought Wu Le was his friend, but he didn't expect the ending to be like that. He risked his life to see this friend clearly.
Will Gu Xiucheng have the same result this time?
Gu Xiucheng hadn't heard Ning Mingluo speak, so he turned his head to look at him.
It was this glance that made Gu Xiucheng a little stunned.
His eyes, which are usually gentle as water, are filled with sadness. Just looking at you, you feel as if he has suffered a great injustice.
It makes people feel extremely distressed just looking at it.
Gu Xiucheng quickly withdrew his gaze.
Feeling distressed?
He never thought that such an emotion as heartache would appear in him.
Since he took over the company as an adult, he has always adhered to the creed that the strong are respected and has worked hard to build his career in the face of ups and downs.
Being soft-hearted and heartbroken, these emotions appearing in his world are simply a joke.
But now, Gu Xiucheng had to admit that just one look from Ning Mingluo was enough to make him feel extremely distressed.
"Tell me something, you are my..." Gu Xiucheng paused and said, "You are my employee. I signed you into the company myself. No one can wrong you, and no one can wrong you."
In a few seconds, Gu Xiucheng made a decision.
He had sensed Ning Mingluo's peculiarity from the moment he saw him. Later, when they met deliberately, he saw another side of Ning Mingluo: this man, wanting to find a backer, was not trying to hide it, expressing it so directly. He found it interesting, so he wanted to tease him.
But after actually getting to know him, he discovered that Ning Mingluo had no ambitions. He just wanted to find a place to settle down.
Otherwise, based on how well they knew each other now, Ning Mingluo would have too many requests to make to him.
But none of them existed.
In that case, he would praise the person well.
It was easy for Gu Xiucheng to promote someone. He brought this person back with him, so he would be responsible for Ning Mingluo.
Gu Xiucheng's words finally made Ning Mingluo unable to hold back.
Her voice was filled with tears: "I ran into Xingqi's people during the audition this afternoon. I thought about all those bad things again."
Gu Xiucheng was not unaware of Xingqi's secret dealings, but they could not harm him, and those people did not dare to harm the people in his company, so he naturally had no control over it.
But now it’s different. Those people made Ning Mingluo unhappy, and Ning Mingluo was his person.
Gu Xiucheng's eyes became sharp.
"Don't worry, no one from Xingqi will be involved in this drama, and they won't dare to bother you in the future. If anyone shows up in front of you again, I'll have their president come to your house and apologize to you personally."
Since Xingqi is someone Ning Mingluo doesn't want to contact, then he should not appear in front of Ning Mingluo again in the future.
"ah?"
Ning Mingluo didn't expect Gu Xiucheng to be so straightforward. Although Xingqi is not as good as Shengshi, it is also a top entertainment company in the industry. Even if Shengshi and Xingqi are to confront each other, it will take some effort.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You don't believe me."
Ning Mingluo immediately shook his head: "I believe you, but I think it's unnecessary. I don't deserve this."
"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me."
From childhood to adulthood, this is the first time that someone other than my grandmother has protected me.
All the grievances in Ning Mingluo's heart suddenly dissipated.
If he could live his life again just to meet Gu Xiucheng, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Gu Xiucheng was so good to him.
This kind of goodness cannot be described in words. Thousands of words can finally be summed up in one sentence.
"Thanks."
Seeing that Ning Mingluo's mood had improved, Gu Xiucheng suddenly raised an eyebrow: "This time, you're thanking me, but you're not planning to marry me?"
Hearing this, Ning Mingluo's cheeks turned red and her earlobes became hot.
I never thought that Gu Xiucheng would tease me with the behavior that I had misunderstood before.
"I didn't think it through before, don't tease me."
Ning Mingluo turned his head towards the car window angrily and stopped looking at Gu Xiucheng.
Gu Xiucheng raised the corners of his lips. He looked quite cute even when he was angry and shy. He really found a treasure for the company.
Ning Mingluo, pretending to be angry, looked through the car window at Gu Xiucheng's raised lips, and raised the corners of his lips as well.
Life is really good now, and he has people supporting him.
Although he didn't know how long this "friendship" could last, or how long Gu Xiucheng's "newness" to him could last, he was happy at the moment.
He knew that Gu Xiucheng had no interest in him, but in a sense, he was just a "toy" that Gu Xiucheng suddenly came across. He was in high spirits and couldn't bear to be away from him for a day.
But it didn't matter. He would work hard while Gu Xiucheng was interested in him. They would try to be respectful to each other when they parted ways in the future.
Gu Xiucheng helped him a lot, and he was grateful.
"Would you like to come home with me to eat something today? You seemed to have just come from the company. Did you not have dinner?"
