Chapter 399 I'm Jealous
Jiang Yuxu thought for a long time, but didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate in what he had just asked.
He was just asking a routine question, and his attitude was good, without losing his temper. He always spoke to her in the same tone before.
Before, when Gui Qing heard him ask this, she would lean closer to him and tease him: Is Jiang Lu concerned about me?
Now he just slammed the door.
Nothing has changed, it's her attitude that has changed - because she has reconciled with Cheng Mi, does that mean she finds listening to him talk annoying now?
When she saw him and Xu Yeqing standing together today, she also had an indifferent attitude.
Jiang Yuxu got on the bed, leaned against the headboard, took off his glasses and closed his eyes.
He remembered something that happened last year.
At that time, in order to break up with Gui Qing, he went on a blind date arranged by his family. Although the two did not officially date, they dated for a while.
So-called dating probably means meeting each other every weekend when you are free.
But it’s not that frequent. The other party is a doctor and is very busy at work.
When two people meet, they either have dinner or go to an exhibition.
The last time they went on a date was when they visited a photography exhibition at National Geographic magazine. The other party told him with great emotional intelligence that after spending some time together, she felt that their personalities were not compatible and that they should just be ordinary friends in the future.
Jiang Yuxu agreed and treated the other party to a meal after reading the magazine.
While having that meal, I ran into Gui Qing in the restaurant. She came with a friend.
During that period, he had been deliberately avoiding her. Apart from necessary contact for work, he had never met her privately.
Gui Qing often contacted him outside of work, and occasionally said a few ambiguous words to him on WeChat, but he never replied.
Jiang Yuxu didn't say hello to her that night.
After dinner, he went back to the law firm for some urgent business. He stayed in the office for more than half an hour. When he finished his work and was about to leave, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
It was already late at night and it was the weekend, so there was no one in the law firm. When the door was suddenly pushed open, even the usually calm people were startled.
When he looked up and saw Gui Qing, Jiang Yuxu frowned: "Why are you here?"
Gui Qing didn't say anything, but walked around the desk to his side and sat on his lap.
Jiang Yuxu has always kept his public and private lives separate, and he doesn't like her crossing the line towards him in the workplace.
He was about to push her away, but he smelled the alcohol on her and stopped.
This gave Gui Qing an opportunity. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. "Is Jiang Lu happy about his date with another woman?"
As she spoke, the smell of alcohol became stronger, mixing with the perfume on her body, making the smell unpleasant.
The first question in Jiang Yuxu's mind at that time was: "Are you driving under the influence?" Then Gui Qing came up and kissed him.
She knew how to tease him. He thought he had extraordinary self-control, but he was always defeated by her tactics - he still couldn't tell whether it was because of his lack of experience or because she was really too powerful.
From that kiss on, it was out of control.
Before that, Jiang Yuxu had never thought that one day he would be sitting on a desk with a woman——
That night, Gui Qing drank a lot of wine and acted crazy, biting him repeatedly.
Jiang Yuxu's neck, shoulders, chest and even lower abdomen were all bitten by her teeth.
Afterwards he asked her why, what was her answer?
"I'm jealous when I see you dating another woman."
…
Thinking of what happened that night, Jiang Yuxu suddenly opened his eyes, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped into the tip of his nose and forehead.
Heat rushed through my body, and something was stirring.
Jiang Yuxu lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, got off the bed and went to the bathroom.
——
Jiang Yuxu didn't sleep for several hours that night and felt exhausted all over, even more tired than working overtime.
Jiang Yuxu didn't go downstairs to have breakfast. After getting up, he sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to bask in the sun, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands, still thinking about Gui Qing.
He didn't know how to get along with her now.
NV and Hengan have a long-term partnership. At least in the next three years, Gui Qing will appear in front of him frequently.
He could no longer treat her in the same businesslike manner as he had at the beginning.
It is said that out of sight, out of mind. If he couldn't see her, perhaps he could restrain himself from thinking about her or looking for her, but Gui Qing was right under his nose every day.
He didn't know whether Gui Qing and Cheng Mi were serious about reconciling or just doing it on a whim, but he had his principles.
Since she is someone else's girlfriend, he cannot cross that line.
As Jiang Yuxu thought about it, his headache started to build again.
He got up, went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and drank half of it.
Just as I put down the water bottle, my cell phone rang.
Jiang Yuxu picked it up and saw the WeChat message from Xu Yeqing, which contained the location of a restaurant.
Only then did he remember that he had agreed to have dinner with Xu Yeqing last night - he had just said it on impulse and wanted to see how Gui Qing would react after hearing it.
She didn't respond, and he later forgot to cancel the appointment.
Xu Yeqing had already booked the restaurant, and it would be rude to cancel the appointment at the last minute, so Jiang Yuxu replied, "Got it."
It would be a good idea to take advantage of today's meal to make things clear with Xu Yeqing - she seems to be interested in him.
Jiang Yuxu did not enjoy the feeling of being pursued. When he was studying, whenever someone pursued him, he would immediately reject them.
Being half-hearted is not his style.
However, these so-called principles and rules seemed to have been broken because of the appearance of a certain person.
And he only realized it now.
——
Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yeqing agreed to meet at the restaurant at six o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Yeqing had already booked a table in advance.
Jiang Yuxu was a very punctual person and arrived at the restaurant door before six o'clock.
He came here by taxi.
Jiang Yuxu said "thank you" to the driver and was about to get off the car when he suddenly saw a familiar figure through the window.
Jiang Yuxu's eyelids twitched.
——Gui Qing is also coming here to eat?
She got out of a Bentley.
He pursed his lips and while he was hesitating, the car had already driven into the parking space and parked.
The driver's door opened, and a man got out of the car and walked to Gui Qing. Gui Qing smiled at him, very brightly.
Then the two of them walked into the restaurant chatting and laughing.
Jiang Yuxu gripped the door handle, his knuckles tightening unconsciously.
The driver in the front seat waited for several minutes but he didn't see him get out of the car. He couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, you have arrived at your destination."
"Sorry." Jiang Yuxu came to his senses, apologized to the driver, then opened the car door and got out.
As soon as Jiang Yuxu walked into the restaurant, Xu Yeqing walked towards him, "Senior, you're here."
Jiang Yuxu nodded slightly, looked around, and saw Gui Qing sitting at the table in the corner, and the man beside her.
"Let's sit here, let's go." Xu Yeqing led the way and went to a nearby booth with Jiang Yuxu.
Jiang Yuxu looked towards the corner and chose to sit facing the table.
