Chapter 409: There's someone waiting for me at home
Jiang Yuxu had not seen Gui Qing's personal information. They were in a cooperative relationship. If he did not specifically investigate, there was no need for the other party to send him the resume.
Jiang Yuxu searched for Gui Qing's personal information in his mind. He seemed to only know which school she studied in and where she worked.
Oh yes, and I also know that she is two years younger than him.
Also, she likes to eat something with a strong flavor - this doesn't seem to be personal information.
Thinking about it this way, his understanding of Gui Qing was very limited, so it was no wonder that she said to others that they were not familiar with each other in private.
In this situation, even if they said they knew each other well, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
When Jiang Yuxu was distracted, the other three people had almost finished ordering, and Xu Yeqing came over to ask him if he wanted to add any dishes.
Jiang Yuxu shook his head, "No need."
After ordering, Cheng Mi started chatting with Xu Yeqing: "How long will you stay in Beicheng on this business trip?"
Xu Yeqing: "At least three months."
Cheng Mi tutted his words and glanced at Jiang Yuxu, "Then your company's arrangement is really coincidental, it's fate."
Xu Yeqing: "Actually, the company didn't arrange for me to come here. I applied to my boss for it."
She generously admitted this, "I haven't seen my senior in many years. It would be convenient for us to have dinner together since we are in the same city."
Xu Yeqing's words were equivalent to directly saying that he was pursuing Jiang Yuxu.
Gui Qing picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, not joining in their conversation.
Even the dullest of people could hear the hidden meaning in Xu Yeqing's words.
Jiang Yuxu didn't expect that she would say it directly in front of so many people. He crossed his hands and subconsciously looked in Gui Qing's direction.
She was drinking tea and playing with her phone, and didn't seem to be paying any attention to this.
Jiang Yuxu's fingers tightened a little more, and he suddenly felt that his previous worries were unnecessary.
Not to mention that Xu Yeqing was only pursuing him unilaterally, even if he was really with Xu Yeqing now, Gui Qing probably wouldn't have any reaction at all.
She doesn't care about him at all.
Whether it was Cheng Mi or that unidentified man, she could chat happily with them, but she just ignored him.
While waiting for the food to be served, Cheng Mi and Xu Yeqing spent most of the time chatting.
Gui Qing was playing with her phone and didn't participate, but Jiang Yuxu occasionally said a word or two.
Because he was a man of few words, he did not arouse suspicion.
After the dishes came, the four people started eating.
Cheng Mi picked up a fried shrimp dumpling for Gui Qing with his serving chopsticks and said, "You have to eat this while it's hot, or it won't be crispy anymore."
Gui Qing: "Brother, fried."
Cheng Mi: "So I'll pick one for you."
"Don't be hard on yourself. It doesn't matter if it happens once in a while. It won't affect your beauty and figure. This is your favorite snack."
Seeing Cheng Mi taking such good care of Gui Qing, Xu Yeqing said with some envy, "Senior Cheng is such a considerate boyfriend. He gives her so much emotional value."
"You're wrong." Gui Qing raised her head slowly and corrected her: "It's my ex-boyfriend."
Jiang Yuxu stopped pulling out the tissue and immediately looked at Gui Qing.
After realizing his own gaffe, he turned his gaze to Cheng Mi.
"Ah, that was my misunderstanding." Xu Yeqing was also a little embarrassed. "I thought you..."
"I wanted to reconcile, but was rejected." Cheng Mi laughed, "We are now just old classmates with a good relationship. I don't have many friends here. We usually eat and play ball together."
"A good horse never turns back to the old pasture." Gui Qing also said with a smile, "I am not a person who cherishes old ties."
Cheng Mi: "Of course not. You just refuse without hesitation. How cruel."
Jiang Yuxu no longer remembered what the two of them talked about afterwards.
There was only one thing left in his mind: Cheng Mi and Gui Qing had not reconciled.
Jiang Yuxu thought about it carefully and found that Cheng Mi had indeed not told him in person that he and Gui Qing had reconciled.
Apart from mentioning his intention to reconcile when he first arrived in Beicheng and chatting with him on WeChat, they never talked about it again.
He saw Gui Qing always with Cheng Mi, so he tacitly agreed that they had reconciled and did not go to Cheng Mi to confirm it.
If Gui Qing hadn't reconciled with Cheng Mi, then she—
"Qing Gong is so outstanding, there must be a lot of people pursuing him." I don't know what topic they were talking about, but Xu Yeqing suddenly said this.
Jiang Yuxu's thoughts returned to normal, and his attention focused on Gui Qing again, waiting for her answer.
"It's okay, but I'm not interested." Gui Qing waved her hand.
Xu Yeqing: "Isn't Qing Gong single now?"
"I guess so." Gui Qing gave an ambiguous answer.
Cheng Mi was amused. "Can it still be considered as such?"
Xu Yeqing guessed, "Qing Gong means there's someone he likes, right?"
"Miss Xu is really smart." Gui Qing gave her a thumbs up.
Jiang Yuxu picked up the water cup, took a big sip of water, swallowed it hard, and his Adam's apple rolled twice.
This conversation was on his mind until the end of the meal.
The person Gui Qing was talking about liking—was he the one who was much older than her?
…
The dinner ended at 8:30 in the evening.
It was agreed beforehand that Jiang Yuxu would host this meal.
When he came back after swiping his card, the other three were preparing to leave. Cheng Mi wanted to match Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yeqing, so he said, "Yuxu, Xiaoxuemei doesn't have a car, you can take her home."
Jiang Yuxu thought for a moment and nodded.
He looked at Xu Yeqing: "Give me your address and I'll take you downstairs."
"Thank you, senior." Xu Yeqing said the name of the hotel.
The four of them walked out of the restaurant together. Gui Qing waved to everyone, said "Someone is waiting for me at home", and was the first to get in the car and leave.
Then Cheng Mi also left.
Jiang Yuxu stood there for a long time without moving, Gui Qing's words "Someone is waiting for me at home" kept echoing in his mind.
It wasn't until Xu Yeqing called him that he took out the car keys: "Get in."
…
Xu Yeqing sat in the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, Jiang Yuxu concentrated on driving and didn't say a word.
Xu Yeqing kept observing his condition from the side.
Tonight, he seemed a little off. He was absent-minded and spoke even less than usual.
Xu Yeqing thought all the way.
After the car stopped at the hotel entrance, she unbuckled her seat belt but did not open the door to get out.
Xu Yeqing turned around and faced Jiang Yuxu: "Senior, while I'm in North City, can we give it a try? If you still feel it's not suitable, I won't bother you."
"Sorry." Jiang Yuxu rejected her without thinking.
The reason why he agreed to let Cheng Mi send Xu Yeqing back was that he wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear to her.
"I'm inviting you to dinner today because you also treated me last time in Haicheng. There's no other reason for that." Jiang Yuxu said, "You don't need to waste your time on me. I don't have any plans for a relationship for the time being."
"Why are you so sure?" This was not the first time Xu Yeqing heard him say this.
Last time she thought it was a rejection, but this time—
Xu Yeqing stared at his profile, his eyelids twitching: "Senior, do you have someone you like?"
