◇ Chapter 19
The person who came out from next door was Chu Jiangyuan!
His eyes were fixed on Si Gu'an, and his domineering sarcasm was mixed with an inexplicable strangeness, which made Si Gu'an feel like he was seen through.
He frowned and took a small step back, and He Yilan's expression became much uglier. He had finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings but was interrupted like this!
Who knows if there will be such a good opportunity next time!
He Yilan's face was no longer red, and he was sober. He gently pushed Si Gu'an into the door, blocked the doorway himself, and said unhappily, "Chu Jiangyuan, why didn't I notice that you have a habit of gossiping before? You are quite nosy."
Chu Jiangyuan said nothing with a cold face. He Yilan sneered again and said, "If you know what's good for you, check out now. Otherwise, don't blame us for bullying you, a single dog!"
Si Gu'an heard the ambiguity in the words and frowned slightly, but when he thought of Chu Jiangyuan outside the door, he did not stop He Yilan's intention.
It would be better to disgust Chu Jiangyuan away, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable if he stayed next door.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangyuan not only did not leave, but walked to Si Gu'an's door and said sternly, "Mr. Si, I hope your behavior will not insult your excellent painting skills."
Si Gu'an looked up and met Chu Jiangyuan's gaze. The strange feeling became stronger, but when he thought of his repeated sarcasm, Si Gu'an's face turned cold.
"Mr. Chu, I don't understand where you stand when you say this."
Not to mention that he and He Yilan have nothing wrong, even if he really has something going on with him, so what?
Is Chu Jiangyuan still trying to pin the identity of the long-dead "Mrs. Chu" on him?
"That's right! Normal communication between us single men doesn't bother others. Chu Jiangyuan, if you're jealous, you can find someone else. There are plenty of men in Mucheng who want to marry you anyway!"
The two of them sang in unison, Chu Jiangyuan's expression was visibly ugly, and He Yilan quickly closed the door.
Afterwards, he turned back to Si Gu'an and begged for mercy: "Xiao Wang, you see it's quite dangerous for you to live here, why don't you...um...I stay and keep watch for you tonight?"
After saying that, he glanced at Si Gu'an cautiously, and sure enough, he saw doubt in his eyes.
He immediately raised his palm and swore, "I promise I will never set foot inside!"
"He Yilan, do you still want to cooperate?"
Si Gu'an asked with a smile, and before He Yilan could react, he added, "The worst thing about work is not being able to distinguish between public and private matters. Can you guarantee that after we're together, you'll still treat our cooperation fairly?"
"You mean, after we finish working together on this project, you will agree to be with me?" He Yilan replied excitedly.
Si Gu'an's smile froze. He really shouldn't have expected He Yilan to agree with him on the same topic!
"I mean you can go!"
Having said that, Si Gu'an pushed the person out without saying anything.
Although he didn't like being close to Chu Jiangyuan, he wasn't afraid of even living next door to him.
However, He Yilan's words reminded Si Gu'an that since he planned to live in Mucheng for a long time, he should indeed buy a house.
Si Gu'an immediately contacted his subordinates to book a fully furnished apartment and planned to move in tomorrow.
When Si Gu'an packed his luggage and went out the next day, He Yilan was leaning against the door of the room opposite with a radiant face. When he saw him come out, his expression suddenly brightened, "Xiao Wang, you're fine!"
"You didn't go home last night?"
He Yilan snorted coldly, "Of course, how can I feel at ease if you live alone next to a wolf's den?"
As he was speaking, there was a "click" sound, and the door next door opened, and Chu Jiangyuan walked out with a cold expression.
