Chapter 302: Good Control
Early in the morning on this weekend, Song Yi went out to have brunch with Tang Qing and Ying Xing.
The three of them had already agreed to spend the day together, which is basically the case for every birthday.
We booked brunch at a restaurant that the three of us often eat at. It was quite crowded on weekends, but since we arrived early, we still got a seat by the window.
The weather turned warmer in March and it was a sunny day. We enjoyed basking in the sun through the glass, eating and chatting at the same time.
"It would be great if I could bask in the sun every day instead of working." Ying Xing sighed deeply. Just as he finished his sigh, he looked up and saw a man and woman appearing across from him. His face immediately darkened. "What a damn bad luck."
Seeing Ying Xing's expression change, Song Yi and Tang Qing looked towards the door at the same time.
What a narrow road for enemies to meet.
The two people who just walked in were Jiang Budu and Gu Yan.
It has been a long time since Gu Yan last attacked Tang Qing. After Song Yi warned Jiang Budu, Jiang Budu seemed not to have looked for Tang Qing again.
As for the relationship between Jiang Budu and Gu Yan, Song Yi did not delve into it.
However, seeing that the two of them came to eat early in the morning, it seemed that they got along well.
Song Yi looked at Tang Qing with some worry, and Tang Qing shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
In fact, after that incident, she and Jiang Budu met several times.
After all, Jiang Corporation has cooperation with the bank. Sometimes she would be sent by her leader to Jiang Corporation to do things, and occasionally Jiang Budu would also go to the bank.
The two also met when the leader organized a dinner party.
Whenever Tang Qing saw Jiang Budu, she would habitually minimize her presence. Jiang Budu, on the other hand, was quite calm and would even talk to her and joke with her.
But nothing out of line.
Tang Qing knew that he could do this because he didn't care.
Jiang Budu seems easy-going, smiling at everyone and having no temper, but he is actually very cold at heart.
He can smile at anyone because he doesn't care at all - Tang Qing realized this clearly many years ago.
The three of them tacitly had no intention of greeting Jiang Budu and Gu Yan.
But unfortunately, Gu Yan had already seen them.
As soon as he saw Tang Qing, Gu Yan's expression changed, and hostility and vigilance almost overflowed from his eyes.
She immediately took Jiang Budu's arm and walked towards the empty table next to her.
Jiang Budu was absent-minded and did not notice that there were any acquaintances here.
It was not until Gu Yan pulled me to the table that I saw these familiar faces.
The first person Jiang Budu saw was Song Yi, and then his attention was attracted by Tang Qing beside her.
Tang Qing wore a dark grey turtleneck sweater today, which was slim-fitting and made her figure look even more impressive.
Her hair was tied up casually, and the sunlight shining in gave her a golden look.
Jiang Budu stared at her for a while, countless scenes from the past flashed through his mind, and his throat felt slightly hot.
Gu Yan, who was standing by, saw Jiang Budu staring at Tang Qing without any scruples, and his expression became even uglier.
She held Jiang Budu tightly and stopped in front of the table.
"What a coincidence." Jiang Budu was afraid that Gu Yan would say something he shouldn't, so he spoke first, as a greeting to the three of them.
Ying Xing rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"Do as you please." Song Yi's attitude was not warm either. She really didn't like Gu Yan. It was good that she didn't scold her.
Jiang Budu knew what Song Yi meant, and he didn't want to make things difficult for himself, so he pulled Gu Yan and was about to leave.
"Let's sit here. The sun is shining." Gu Yan pointed to the table next to her and acted coquettishly to Jiang Budu in a pinched voice.
"Gu Yan, that's enough." Jiang Budu was a little impatient and whispered a warning in her ear.
Gu Yan's expression froze for a moment, but soon replaced with a sweet smile.
In the end, the two of them walked arm in arm to a booth a few tables away.
Ying Xing retracted his gaze and commented disdainfully: "What a lovely wife."
Jiang Budu had a rotten cucumber, but Gu Yan held it like a treasure, afraid that someone else would snatch it away. Any woman who appeared around him would be regarded as an imaginary enemy by her.
But his methods are so despicable, like a clown.
Song Yi was also puzzled. How could Jiang Budu, such a smart and shrewd man, tolerate someone like Gu Yan as his fiancée?
"A lovely wife is easier to control." Tang Qing responded calmly, responding to Ying Xing's words.
Her words also suddenly woke up Song Yi——
When Xu Shengwen had a falling out with her before, he said that if she wasn't easy to control, he wouldn't have fallen for her at all.
Perhaps Jiang Budu looked for Gu Yan for a similar reason.
"Only incompetent men would want to control women, bah." Ying Xing's disdain for Jiang Budu was evident in his words.
Tang Qing smiled faintly and didn't respond.
Jiang Budu is not incompetent, he just doesn't want to worry about his marriage.
"By the way," Song Yi asked about the business, "They haven't bothered you in the past few months, right?"
Tang Qing hummed, "I've only met him a few times at work."
"Let's not talk about him anymore. It's really unlucky." Ying Xing snorted coldly and quickly changed the subject. "Hey, when will Gu Zhongzhou come today?"
Song Yi: "Maybe he wants it in the afternoon."
…
Jiang Budu sat in the booth, glancing towards Tang Qing from time to time.
He was in a position where he could see her face.
The distance was quite far, so he couldn't see clearly, but the heat in his throat and the inexplicable heat in his body became more and more intense.
After all this time, her body still had such a strong attraction to him.
Is it because I have been too busy in recent months and have no time to find a woman?
At this moment, Jiang Budu suddenly realized that he had not looked for any other woman since Tang Qing proposed breaking up that night.
It wasn't intentional, I just suddenly ran out of ideas.
Jiang Budu looked at Tang Qing so openly that Gu Yan became a little impatient.
"A few days ago, my dad asked us to discuss a wedding date." Gu Yan took the initiative to bring up the topic. "When do you think it's appropriate?"
Jiang Budu came back to his senses and said indifferently, "It's up to you."
Gu Yan: "This is a major event in our lives, how can you just leave it up to me? Of course we have to decide together, including choosing wedding dresses and decorating the venue—"
"I don't have that much time." Jiang Budu took a sip of black tea lightly, "You can arrange whatever you like."
Gu Yan's expression cracked a little. "No matter what I say, you don't have time for me. Do you have time for others?"
Without even thinking, she added the second half of the sentence: "Are you still thinking about that vixen?"
Jiang Budu raised his eyelids, and a coldness appeared in his usually smiling eyes. "What does it have to do with her?"
Gu Yan was a little frightened by Jiang Budu's eyes, but still said with a stiff upper lip: "If it wasn't her, you——"
"I wouldn't like you without her." Jiang Budu's voice was calm and heartless. "If you can't accept it, it's not too late to cancel the engagement now."
"You want to cancel your engagement with me because of her?!" Gu Yan raised his voice unconsciously.
Jiang Budu frowned and looked at her. For the first time, he felt that he couldn't stand Gu Yan's IQ.
