Chapter 471 Together
The laughter was too harsh. After hearing it, Tang Qing and Shi Chen turned their heads to look over at the same time.
After seeing Gu Yan's face, those unpleasant memories suddenly flooded into Tang Qing's mind. His face darkened and his eyes became a little cold.
Gu Yan would find fault with her whenever she saw her, and she was also not careful with her words. Because of her, Tang Qing didn't want to have anything to do with any woman around Jiang Budu.
I have PTSD.
Gu Yan's sarcasm and hostility were written on her face. Seeing her like this, Shi Chen asked Tang Qing softly, "Do you know her?"
Tang Qing shook his head, "Let's go in."
It is not wise to have a conflict with Gu Yan. She was too lazy to argue with Gu Yan when she was in a unclear relationship with Jiang Budu before, and she is even less willing to do so now. She has never been the kind of person who would argue over a man.
Shi Chen said "hmm" and put his arm around Tang Qing and walked inside.
As soon as the two took a step, they heard Gu Yan's voice again: "You are so fast at hooking up with men. He dumped you, and you can't wait to find someone else?"
Tang Qing felt that Gu Yan was very noisy and could not stand it any longer.
She stopped and looked back at Gu Yan with a cold, warning look in her eyes.
Seeing her expression, Gu Yan smiled even more disdainfully, "Do you think you can challenge me just because you have this man backing you up? Does he know that you seduced someone else's fiancé?"
"If you have the energy to bother me, why not think about how to make him look at you more?" Tang Qing used poison to fight poison. "He would rather look for a vixen you despise outside than you. Reflect on your own reasons."
Her cold gaze wandered over her body and she said lightly, "Do more cosmetic surgery."
Gu Yan: "Bitch, you dare to mock me? I'll slap you—"
She raised her hand and was about to slap Tang Qing.
Unfortunately, the slap didn't land - Shi Chen directly grabbed her wrist.
He looked at Gu Yan fiercely and warned in a deep voice, "Show some respect."
Gu Yan: "You really are a lickspittle. Do you know that she is a third party? You are so happy to eat the leftovers of others. Are you a man?"
"Whether I'm a man or not doesn't require your approval, but your words are indeed not what a human being would say." Shi Chen didn't give Gu Yan face and commented on her in the calmest tone, "Ma'am, you have a foul mouth."
After saying that, he let go of Gu Yan's hand, put his arm around Tang Qing, and walked into the restaurant without looking back.
Gu Yan was frustrated, sneered, picked up his phone and took a video of the two people's backs -

Tang Qing and Shi Chen sat down at the reserved table and ordered their meals together.
After the waiter left, Tang Qing took the initiative to say to Shi Chen: "I'll treat you to this meal. Thank you for what you did just now."
Shi Chen: "Do you have a conflict with her?"
Tang Qing shook his head. "No, we don't have any interests involved."
She never thought that she and Gu Yan were in a competitive relationship. It was Gu Yan who always regarded her as a thorn in his side. Because she couldn't control Jiang Budu, she could only bully her.
In the past, she would endure it because she was afraid of trouble, but now she has nothing to do with Jiang Budu. Jiang Budu already has Bai Ruan by his side, and Gu Yan is still looking for trouble with her. Is her database not updated?
Or is it because Jiang Budu protected Bai Ruan too well and she didn't dare to offend him, so he came to her to take it out on her again?
Tang Qing smiled mockingly. Gu Yanneng was so unscrupulous because he probably thought her previous indifference meant she was easy to bully.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If it happens again, she will not tolerate it.
"She is that man's fiancée and has always caused trouble for me." Tang Qing told Shi Chen about Gu Yan's identity.
Shi Chen: “I guessed it.”
His expression was a little serious. "Did she often give you trouble in the past?"
Tang Qing: "Five or six times."
Shi Chen frowned: "He doesn't know?"
Tang Qing didn't say anything.
Shi Chen understood her silence, and looked at her with more heartache in his eyes.
"It's all in the past. I won't tolerate her anymore." Tang Qing smiled at Shi Chen, "Let's not talk about her anymore. It affects my mood."
Shi Chen: "How have you thought about what happened that night?"
He looked into her eyes and said, "Tang Qing, let's try dating."
Tang Qing's heart tightened, and his breathing became heavy as he met Shi Chen's serious gaze.
She was silent for a long time, and finally her lips moved slightly.
"Let's put the past behind us. You did nothing wrong, and there's no need to belittle yourself because of that experience." Shi Chen had already guessed what she might say. "Your past will not affect your importance in my world."
"Are you serious?" Tang Qing pursed her lips. "Maybe it's just because you were alone with me some time ago and remembered what happened back then, so you have a filter for me. If we were really in a relationship, you might think that I'm not that good."
"Same." Shi Chen said, "I'm not that good either."
"It just so happens that we are a good match. How about giving it a try?" Shi Chen saw that her expression relaxed a little, so he struck while the iron was hot.
Tang Qing touched the cup in front of him, lowered his eyes and thought for a few minutes.
Then, under his gaze, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's try it."
Her life cannot remain stagnant. She is not a staunch non-marriageist and she also has a need for love. At her age, her parents also hope that she can find someone to start a family and settle down as soon as possible.
Her parents didn't blame her at all for the last miscarriage. They just felt sorry for her health and asked her not to make such a mistake again.
Rather than this, Tang Qing would rather they scold him.
Shi Chen was not Tang Qing’s first boyfriend, but he was the one with the fastest progress.
Although they had an ambiguous relationship in the past and were old classmates, there had been a gap of so many years in between that they didn't really know each other very well. Tang Qing's previous boyfriends all had to wait at least three months before confirming a relationship.
After returning from Haicheng and breaking up with Jiang Budu completely, Tang Qing had two boyfriends.
However, even if you have known each other for a long enough time and have confirmed the relationship, you will find many incompatibilities in your interactions, so it won’t work out.
Tang Qing had no idea what would happen with Shi Chen this time.
But let's try it first. As he said, let's make up for the regrets of that year.
Tang Qing really liked Shi Chen back then. She was in her early twenties and had never been in a relationship. It was the first time in her life that her heart was moved. Her heart beat faster and her heart started pounding when she saw him.
But now almost ten years have passed, she has experienced a lot, and now she is in her early thirties, and she can no longer find the feeling she had back then.
She couldn't say she didn't like Shi Chen, but no matter how much she liked him, it would never be the same as it was during their school days.
——
Jiang Budu had a full work schedule today and was still reviewing documents in the office at eight o'clock.
He basically worked for two days after attending Song Yi and Fu Xijing's wedding.
People are so irritable that they can only divert their attention in this way.
Jiang Budu had just finished signing a document when he heard a knock on the door.
He tugged at his tie irritably and said, "Come in."
After seeing Xu Jiang walk in, Jiang Budu said with a cold face: "Didn't you tell me not to disturb me?"
"Um, Mr. Jiang." Xu Jiang stopped in front of his desk, his phone clutched in his hand, and hesitated: "Miss Gu just sent me a video... Do you want to take a look?"
