Chapter 406 Tea Room
Hearing a horn from behind, Xie Yuan, who was driving, couldn't help but look at the rearview mirror, but he didn't see any car following.
"I thought we were blocking the road," said Xie Yuan.
Gui Qing glanced at the rearview mirror nonchalantly, "Oh, maybe someone is going crazy."
Xie Yuan laughed.
Shortly after driving out of the supermarket parking lot, Xie Yuan drove the car into the nearby villa area and parked in front of a villa.
After getting off the car, the two walked into the living room carrying large and small bags. At that time, Yan Zhici had just finished taking a shower and came down from upstairs with a facial mask on.
"You're back." Yan Zhici walked over to Gui Qing and took her arm. "Go take a shower and do some skincare. I told you not to go. It's late at night, you must be tired."
Gui Qing: "It's only a little after nine o'clock. I usually work overtime until the early morning without any problem."
"You still say that." Yan Zhici pinched her arm, "You don't have the blessing to enjoy, but you have to make yourself so hard."
Gui Qing shrugged and didn't respond.
She had heard this so often that she was immune to it.
"Zhici, I have washed the cherries, please try them." Fortunately, Xie Yuan appeared in time and ended the topic for the mother and daughter.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhici took Gui Qing's arm and sat on the sofa together.
Xie Yuan washed two plates of cherries, gave one directly to Gui Qing, and then picked up the other plate to feed one to Yan Zhici who was wearing a facial mask.
"How about it?"
"Not bad." Yan Zhici also took one and fed it to Xie Yuan.
Gui Qing watched them feeding each other, rolled her eyes, and sat on the single sofa next to them.
Xie Yuan: "Why did you change the location?"
Gui Qing: "I think you two are cheesy, stay away from me."
Yan Zhici: "That's not corny at all, that's how men should be."
Xie Yu'an nodded in agreement with a smile on his face. Yan Zhici's words were the highest compliment to him.
Gui Qing rolled her eyes again. She really couldn't stand them.
Talking about this topic, Yan Zhici suddenly remembered something: "Is there no contact with that tasteless ex-boyfriend?"
Gui Qing hummed, without giving a direct answer.
Yan Zhici took her reaction as confirmation and continued, "Does our Er Er still worry about not finding a boyfriend? Just keep dating."
"Yu'an, is your friend free recently? Ask him out—"
"Stop, stop." Gui Qing interrupted Yan Zhici, "I don't have any plans to fall in love recently."
Yan Zhici: “Hmm?”
Gui Qing made up a random excuse: "The R&D project is in the final testing phase, I don't have time."
Yan Zhici: "The intelligent driving system you mentioned earlier?"
Gui Qing nodded.
Yan Zhici sighed, "Er Er's IQ is such that he would definitely be very successful if he inherited my business. What a pity~"
Gui Qing: "Isn't my little dad the one who supports your career?"
She cue Xie Yuan and deliberately called him this name to tease him. Xie Yuan just smiled and was not angry.
Yan Zhici: "He's incredibly busy at his own company, how could he have the time?"
Gui Qing spread his hands, "Why don't you adopt an heir now? It's still not too late."
Yan Zhici: "Go to hell! All my property is going to be left to you!"
——
The weekend passed quickly.
Jiang Yuxu came to the law firm early on Monday morning, half an hour earlier than the scheduled working hours. When he arrived, there were only a few people in the law firm.
When Jiang Yuxu was walking towards the office, he passed by the NV team's office area. He subconsciously took a closer look and then caught a glimpse of Gui Qing's figure.
She continued talking on the phone and went towards the tea room, but didn't see him.
Jiang Yuxu looked at her back, paused for a while, and then walked towards the tea room as if possessed.
…
The tea room was very quiet, with only the sound of the coffee machine.
The sound of the door being pushed open and footsteps were particularly clear.
Gui Qing lowered her head and looked at the figure reflected in the glass without any reaction.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped behind her. She could faintly feel his body temperature and his breathing was particularly clear.
Gui Qing still lowered his head and did not react.
Time passes by second by second.
The coffee cup is full.
Gui Qing picked up the cup and prepared to leave.
As soon as she held her hand, it was wrapped by a dry and warm hand.
Jiang Yuxu pressed his palm on her hand, and the breathing coming from above his head became heavier and heavier.
Gui Qing finally raised her head and looked at him. There was no expression on her face, and she looked cold and calm, which made him look like the one who lost his composure.
Jiang Yuxu generally didn't have any extreme reactions, but there were too many complicated emotions hidden in his eyes behind the lenses.
He held her hand and she looked into his eyes, but still neither of them spoke.
What finally broke the silence was the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.
A colleague came over.
When Jiang Yuxu heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he immediately let go of Gui Qing, took a few steps back, and turned around to get the cup.
It was as if nothing that just happened had ever happened.
Gui Qing picked up the cup, walked to the refrigerator next to him, and took out a bottle of milk.
The person who came was a colleague from the NV team. She saw Jiang Yuxu was there too, so she casually said good morning to him, then came to Gui Qing and started chatting with her.
"Qing Gong, what you posted on your Moments last night, was that your newly bought house?"
Gui Qing: "Yes."
Jiang Yuxu paused for a moment, put down the cup, picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and found Gui Qing's profile picture.
After clicking into her circle of friends, I found only two bars.
No content.
Jiang Yuxu usually doesn’t read or post on WeChat Moments, but he knows that WeChat Moments can be grouped.
Therefore, there are two possibilities for him not being able to see Gui Qing's circle of friends:
First, she grouped her Moments posts and didn’t show them to him.
Second, she has another WeChat account.
When Jiang Yuxu was browsing his Moments, the conversation was still going on.
Colleague: "Wow, what a huge mansion! Where is it located?"
Gui Qing: "In the Fourth Ring Road."
Fourth Ring Road.
No wonder she went to that supermarket that night.
There are indeed many villa areas near the Fourth Ring Road. The housing prices there soared outrageously in the early years. The market has been sluggish in recent years, and the prices have dropped a bit, but you still can't buy a villa without tens of millions.
Gui Qing's salary is not that high, and what's more, she has no qualifications to buy a house in North City.
It goes without saying who bought this house.
Colleague: "Oh my god, that's really expensive, Qing Gong, you really are a rich woman."
Gui Qing: "Someone gave it to me."
Colleague: "Eh, boyfriend? No, if he's giving me a house, he has to be at least my fiancé, right?"
Gui Qing smiled and jokingly asked, "Is there a possibility that I'm a rich second-generation?"
My colleague laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, so now we're acting out a story about a rich second-generation kid hiding his identity and bravely pursuing his dreams?"
Later they left while joking with each other.
The water is boiling.
Jiang Yuxu picked up the kettle to make tea, and thought of Gui Qingdao's remarks about the "rich second generation", and laughed at himself.
He was actually still thinking seriously about what she said. She was obviously just fooling her colleagues.
Just like I said something to fool him before.
She is the best at lying, and she can tell lies without changing her expression or heartbeat.
