Chapter 6
Shi Wan returned to her room and naturally had no idea what had happened downstairs, nor did she know how long the Pei family had been sitting with Jiang Heng in the living room.
【Gu Zhinian: Have you had dinner? 】
【It was late; I ate.】
After Shi Wan sent the message, he thought for a while and sent another one.
[Shi Wan: Mr. Gu, have you eaten?]
Gu Zhinian: [Picture]
【Gu Zhinian: Eating now.】
【Shi Wan: Then please take your time eating.】
Shi Wan felt that his reply was particularly good and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Zhinian held his phone and looked at the dinner in front of him. The content in the chat box was a mixture of typing and deleting, not knowing what to send. He looked at his agent Xie Zhuo who was telling him about work arrangements.
"What happened to you in the past two days?" Xie Zhuo folded his arms and looked at Gu Zhinian nervously. He...he didn't say anything wrong! His pants zipper was open?
Xie Zhuo secretly glanced at the zipper of his pants, it was not open!
"You... forget it, just go back." Gu Zhinian hesitated to speak and looked a bit disgusted, which aroused Xie Zhuo's desire to win.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't leave it half-hearted." Xie Zhuo sat down opposite Gu Zhinian.
"You've been in love before." Gu Zhinian's tone was light and Xie Zhuo felt that he was being despised.
"Have you dated?" Xie Zhuo and Gu Zhinian were classmates, so they knew each other very well.
"We're talking about it." Yun Danfengqing threw out a bombshell and then took a sip of tea slowly.
"What!?" Xie Zhuo collapsed in anger. "I haven't been with you for just one day and you've already found someone?!"
"Who is it? Do I know him? What does he look like?" Xie Zhuo approached Gu Zhinian curiously, wishing he could get into Gu Zhinian's mind to see for himself.
"You can go now." Gu Zhinian glanced at Xie Zhuo with disgust and pushed him away with his hand.
【Gu Zhinian: Have you returned home? 】
Xie Zhuo shamelessly leaned over to look at Gu Zhinian's phone. In fact, there were not many messages between the two of them. It could be seen that Gu Zhinian was in a hurry and looked at it for a long time with his neck stretched. Shi Wan didn't reply at all, so Shi Wan went to pack up and wash up.
"Tsk, your love life isn't that great." Xie Zhuo sat back and laughed at Gu Zhinian. The smile on his face was so exaggerated. Zhou Cheng on the side held back his laughter and lowered his head, fearing that he would be discovered.
"Get lost." He glanced at Xie Zhuo sharply, but Xie Zhuo was not angry and left with a big laugh. Gu Zhinian tightened his jawline, his face darkened, and Zhou Cheng reduced his presence.
Half an hour later, Shi Wan dried her hair before replying to Gu Zhinian.
[Shi Wan: I’m back. I was just washing up.]
Shi Wan thought about it and decided to explain. He couldn't let Gu Zhinian think that he didn't want to reply to the message, as he was still taking Gu Zhinian's money.
[Gu Zhinian: Did the Pei family bully you? ]
【Shi Wan: Not really, just watch their performance.】
Shi Wan: That’s quite interesting.
【Shi Wan: I’m going to practice.】
After Shi Wan sent the message, he put down his phone and started practicing with his sketchbook. He copied everything from memory. As soon as he started drawing, he was immersed in it, especially when he was not wearing the cochlear implant. It was like his ears were covered with a mask, and there was basically no sound.
After the message Gu Zhinian sent fell on deaf ears, he finally understood why Shi Wan didn't reply last night.
Shi Wan estimated that it was about two hours later and put away the sketchbook. She stood up and stretched her body. She looked at the time and it was already half past ten. She could see a micro-heart notification on the standby interface. Shi Wan clicked on it and found that it was Gu Zhinian. She replied with "Good night."
As soon as Gu Zhinian saw the phone light up, he reached out to take a look at it, which scared the person who was reporting on his work on the other end of the computer. He thought there was something wrong with what he said, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes were darting around, and he didn't dare to breathe. His brain was working at high speed. In just a few seconds, he had already figured out whether he could get N+1 compensation if he was fired, and whether he should set up a stall or something.
Gu Zhinian glanced at the time and remembered this time. Shi Wan went to bed at this time.
"Go on." Gu Zhinian put down his phone and raised his eyes back to the computer interface, signaling the person reporting to continue. The middle-aged man on the other side of the computer quietly rubbed the sweat from his palms and continued to report stutteringly.
Mr. Gu is no less imposing than General Manager Gu and Chairman Gu!
Gu Zhinian was completely forced into this. These were originally his eldest brother's business. He had a few days of rest recently, and his eldest brother took his eldest brother's wife and children out for a trip. When he found out about this, his eldest brother's family was already preparing to board the plane, and his father and mother had already gone somewhere abroad.
"That's all for today. I want to see the revised plan tomorrow afternoon." As soon as Gu Zhinian spoke, the others really breathed a sigh of relief. After he finished speaking, Gu Zhinian exited the video conference and leaned back in his chair. He casually threw his gold-rimmed glasses on the table and pinched his aching nose bridge with his slender fingers.
"Meow~~" A super sweet cat's cry. A beautiful and sweet short-legged, long-haired calico cat came to Gu Zhinian's feet, with its big fluffy tail raised, a pair of big watery eyes, and its little head tilted, as if wondering why humans are not sleeping yet. Gu Zhinian looked at the little eyes and thought of Shi Wan.
It's very similar, just as moist, making people want to hide it and keep it all to themselves.
When Shi Wan got up early in the morning and went downstairs to cook, as soon as she opened the refrigerator, the smell of durian hit her in the face and made her dizzy and almost unable to stand. Shi Wan quickly closed the refrigerator door.
"Cough cough cough cough..." Shi Wan coughed up tears, the corners of his eyes were moist and red, his face was slightly flushed, and his eyebrows and eyes became bright and lively.
Jiang Heng, who was standing aside, was stunned. Pei Shijin, who had come down to look for Jiang Heng, saw this scene and dug his nails into his palms. He walked over to Jiang Heng with an understanding smile on his face, hugged Jiang Heng's arm, leaned against him, and asked weakly, "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just saw a thief." A trace of embarrassment flashed in Jiang Heng's eyes. He actually stared at Shi Wan in a daze. This was simply a shame.
"Why... Second brother, why... did you come here to steal..." Pei Shijin started crying again. Jiang Heng hugged Pei Shijin and tried to comfort him, but he was a little absent-minded. Pei Shijin looked much duller than Shi Wan just now. Jiang Heng felt guilty because he was stunned by Shi Wan just now, so he used a lot of tenderness when comforting Pei Shijin.
Shi Wan watched the two perform as if they were alone, calmly cooking a bowl of noodles. He couldn't understand if Pei Shijin had a penchant for being a monkey. Every time he saw Jiang Heng and Pei Shijin, they were always flirting and being affectionate, as if everyone around them were NPCs. Are all actors this "open and honest"?
"The toilet is on your right." Go inside and kiss, go inside and rub, it's blocking the way here and it's an eyesore, he actually doesn't really want to see it!
Jiang Heng and Pei Shijin both had very ugly expressions on their faces, their bodies twisted and stiff as they stood in the distance. Shi Wan had already walked to the back garden to eat noodles.
Pei Shijin and Jiang Heng separated awkwardly. All the previous ambiguity turned into awkwardness. Jiang Heng simply left Pei Shijin behind and went upstairs first.
"Shi! Wan!" Pei Shijin clenched his fists, his eyes grimly staring at the direction Shi Wan had left. His mind was full of questions about why Shi Wan had come back, why the couple hadn't just killed Shi Wan, and why Shi Wan's face wasn't scratched! Bitch!
Shi Wan had been sitting in the back for a long time and could still smell the scent of durian. Shi Wan was not used to the taste or smell of durian. The portion of Yunhai snack that Jiang Heng got was originally reserved for Gu Zhinian. After Gu Zhinian knew it was durian pastry, he refused to take it. This was the reason why Jiang Heng had the opportunity to buy one. Otherwise, with the status of the Jiang family, he would not be able to get Yunhai's limited edition snack.
