Lu Shiqian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the increasingly heavy emotions in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
For some reason, he suddenly couldn't stay any longer.
Lu Shiqian stood up and said, "My company still has things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned a deaf ear to Si Xue's plea to stay and left directly.
Si Xue watched his disappearing figure and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
The apple that fell at your feet was like discarded garbage. It wasn't too dirty, but you couldn't have it anymore.
Does he... care about that woman so much?
Is it so unbearable to see that Gu Nian is going to have a private life with another man?
Oh.
Then just bear with it!
Lu Shiqian, it is no longer possible for you and that woman.
From now on, you can only be mine!
Si Xue put away the coldness in her eyes, sat down gracefully, and continued to slowly eat fruit and watch TV.
…
Press conference venue.
After dismissing all the media, Gu Nian went back to help his colleagues pack their clothes.
The way her colleagues looked at her had already changed significantly.
The CEO just said in front of the camera that she is the most important person to the CEO!
This is just like those top celebrities announcing their relationship in public!
Therefore, their previous guesses were correct. Gu Nian and Mr. Huo were not ordinary siblings at all.
Gu Nian is the boss lady!
"Old... ah no, Gu Nian, you go and rest first, we can just take care of these!"
How can the boss’s wife follow you to work?!
Gu Nian was puzzled, "I'm not very tired..."
"Mr. Huo!"
The colleague suddenly looked behind her and stood up straight.
Gu Nian turned around and said, "Brother, why haven't you left yet? I thought you had returned to the company."
"I'm waiting to take you home."
Huo Huaijin helped her get her bag.
Gu Nian hesitated for a moment: "Uh... I'm going to pick up Avada from the pet hospital later, why don't you go back first? Oh, yes, Avada is a border collie I raised, so cute."
There had been too many changes some time ago, and neither she nor Lu Shiqian had time to take care of her. Avada also happened to have bad gastrointestinal problems, so they sent it to foster care.
Fortunately, neither Lin Miao nor Lu Qiming objected to raising a dog. Lin Miao also bought some toys for it and was waiting to take it back to the Lu family's old house.
It was also the first time in three years that Gu Nian had been separated from Avada for such a long time, so he decided to pick her up today.
It's not convenient to bring a dog with you, and it wouldn't be good if your car gets dirty.
Huo Huaijin nodded, "Then I'll go with you to pick him up. There's nothing to do in the afternoon. Why, are you still unwilling to let me see the dog you raised?"
Gu Nian smiled: "How is that possible? Then let's go."
Gu Nian turned around and said hello to the colleagues behind him, then walked towards the parking lot with Huo Huaijin.
Huo Huaijin glanced at her sideways: "Why didn't I realize before that you still like to keep pets?"
"Well...it's hard to explain in words, but I have had this dog for several years."
Although Avada was left behind by Si Xue.
But over the past few years, Gu Nian has really developed feelings for it.
If you get used to this kind of thing, it will always seep into your bone marrow without even realizing it.
Huo Huaijin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
When she arrived at the pet hospital, Gu Nian opened the car door and quickly walked in. She really missed that silly dog after not seeing him for so long.
The doctor took Avada out and handed her the traction rope.
"Avada's gastrointestinal condition has improved a lot, but he still needs to recover slowly, so he still needs to continue taking medicine."
"good."
Gu Nian wrote it down and smiled at the doctor: "I'm sorry to trouble you during this time, Doctor Zhang."
"You are welcome."
Doctor Zhang nodded, "I'm going to prepare the medicine for you now, please wait a moment."
Huo Huaijin came up from behind, looked at the lively dog surrounding Gu Nian's feet, seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "It looks a lot like you when you were a kid."
This girl always hung around him when she was little.
My brother keeps yelling every day.
Gu Nian gave him an angry look, "Brother, is there anyone who compares like you?"
"Well, my bad."
Huo Huaijin rubbed her hair good-naturedly, smiling like spring.
Doctor Zhang prepared the medicine and handed it to Gu Nian, but the man beside her reached out to take it.
He glanced at Gu Nian curiously.
"This is my brother."
Gu Nian thought he might have misunderstood. After all, she had always come with Lu Shiqian before, so she took the initiative to introduce him.
"Then we'll leave first, Dr. Zhang, and you'll be busy first."
After she finished speaking, Avada pulled her out.
Huo Huaijin nodded towards Dr. Zhang as a greeting and followed him.
Avada was placed in the back seat. She stood between the two seats in the front row, tilting her head and wanting to play with Gu Nian.
"Avada, please stop making trouble!"
She reached out and patted the dog's head aside.
"Sit tight!"
Huo Huaijin drove the car and looked at the man and the dog laughing next to him, the expression on his face became softer and softer.
After arriving at the Lu family's house, as soon as the car door opened, Avada ran out like a joy.
"Avada! Run slower!"
Gu Nian couldn't even shout back. He looked helpless and could only chase after him.
"It must have been locked up for too long. The dog also longs for freedom."
Huo Huaijin walked around the front of the car and walked to her side, "How about taking it for a walk? It's still early."
Seeing that they didn't catch up, Avada ran back after a while, wagging her tail crazily around the two people.
"All right……"
Gu Nian patted the dog's head and asked, "Can you be a less worried dog?"
"You are asking too much of it." Huo Huaijin picked up the traction rope on the ground and said with a smile, "Let's go and take it out for a walk."
Night is approaching, white clouds are like gauze on the sunset sky, floating gently in the sky, the setting sun sets on the horizon, leaving only a golden light in the distance.
After walking around for a long time, all the street lights around me came on.
"He is actually a pretty good dog."
Gu Nian looked at Avada in front of him, and in order to keep up with their speed, he didn't walk too fast.
Huo Huaijin nodded, obviously agreeing.
"Next time I take it to the countryside, it can have a good run."
But this is a villa area. If you let go of the rope, you may accidentally scare people.
"Um."
Gu Nian took the rope from his hand and said, "Thank you for walking the dog with me, brother."
For the past three years, she has been walking the dog alone.
Lu Shiqian has never been with her.
"Why are you saying thank you again?" Huo Huaijin sighed, "Didn't I tell you before that you never have to say thank you in front of me, huh?"
She was amused again and nodded solemnly, "Okay, I remember it!"
"Then I... go in first? You should be careful on your way home."
Gu Nian was holding the dog to go in, but Huo Huaijin suddenly grabbed her arm.
He used force to pull Gu Nian towards him: "Nian Nian, wait..."
On the other side of the park, Lu Shiqian drove back.
But I saw a strange luxury car parked in the parking space in front of my house.
He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, slowed down and drove forward.
But what caught his eye were two familiar figures.
Gu Nian and Huo Huaijin were standing at the gate of the Lu family.
The shadows of the two people were lengthened by the road, overlapping each other, and a dog was happily circling around them.
