Chapter 229 The taste of being carefully cared for
Gu Jingchen was a little entangled, unwilling to let go of this opportunity to work with Su An.
But Su An has already taken the initiative to bring it up.
He didn't want to make her unhappy.
so……
"I see."
Gu Jingchen sighed helplessly in his heart and said four words in a normal tone.
After another two seconds of pause, he continued, "I will explain your withdrawal to Mr. Chen."
Su An didn't expect him to agree so happily. She was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you, that's it, I'll go up first."
She said no more and turned to leave.
You don't have to look back to feel that Gu Jingchen's eyes are still looking at you.
Su An didn't hesitate and entered the elevator directly.
It wasn't until I returned to my seat that the slightly serious expression on my face finally relaxed.
Gu Jingchen agreed so happily...
Does this mean that he really came here for work this time?
He just happened to meet her and decided to put her in the working group?
never mind……
What are you thinking about so much?
Anyway, he has made it clear to her.
As long as I don't participate in the project from now on, I should have nothing to do with him.
Su An didn't think too much and took care of the work at hand seriously.
Until evening——
A loud "boom" suddenly sounded outside the window, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the office.
"Is it going to rain?"
Qin Rou suddenly looked up from her work, and then she showed a look of complete ruin.
"Damn...I didn't bring an umbrella..."
Su An on the side heard something, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out his umbrella and handed it over.
"I'll give you mine."
Qin Rou was stunned when she heard this, and waved her hands hurriedly, "No, give it to me, what do you use..."
"I……"
Su An subconsciously wanted to say that someone would come to pick her up, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she had to change her words, "It doesn't matter, I have other umbrellas..."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she heard her cell phone beeping.
Su An hurriedly picked it up and glanced at it quickly.
Then he saw the message from Lu Ziting.
[An'an, it seems like it's going to rain outside, but don't worry, I brought an umbrella. I'll be there in about two minutes. 】
Su An looked at the line of words on the screen, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve.
【Okay, I can get off work in ten minutes.】
She quickly replied to a message and put the phone back to its original place. She couldn't help but feel a subtle and expectant feeling in her heart.
It turns out that this is how it feels when someone is waiting for you after get off work...
In the past, she was always waiting for Gu Jingchen.
Almost every day, she was waiting for him to finish countless work and social activities and take time to pay attention to her. This feeling seemed to have become a habit.
But now, someone is willing to do this for her.
Su An thought, seeing that the time was almost up, she hurriedly speeded up and continued to handle the work.
But I didn't expect that I encountered a little trouble at the end and was delayed for ten minutes.
When she finally closed the computer, most of the people in the office had left.
Su An picked up her backpack, picked up her phone, and hurried out of the office. As she walked, she quickly sent a message to Lu Ziting.
[Sorry, senior, there was a temporary problem at work, which delayed me for some time. 】
She thought for a moment and added a cute apology emoticon after the message.
【It's okay, don't worry.】
Lu Ziting's message was answered quickly. After he finished speaking, there was an expression of a little rabbit stroking his head, which seemed to be comforting Su An.
She didn't expect that he would also have such a cute expression, and Su An couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then she couldn't help but think that he always seemed to like touching her head recently, and she couldn't help but have a smile on her lips.
Afraid that Lu Ziting would wait too long, she hurriedly walked toward the elevator.
But just as the door was about to close, I suddenly saw a familiar shadow flashing outside.
In less than a second, he disappeared behind the door.
Su An was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had seen something wrong just now.
Why does that person seem to be...
Gu Jingchen?
Su An frowned slightly, then noticed that the elevator had begun to descend, and didn't think much more about it.
I probably just saw it wrong.
How could Gu Jingchen stay in their company for a day?
Outside the elevator door——
Gu Jingchen looked at the declining numbers on the elevator and sighed helplessly.
It's just simple cooperation, so he naturally doesn't have so many problems to talk about.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to see An An, he wouldn't have come in person just before get off work was about to get off work.
Unexpectedly, I was delayed by Mr. Chen.
I thought I missed An An, but who would have thought that he would see her in the elevator as soon as he came out!
But we still passed by...
Gu Jingchen quickly glanced at the safe passage next to him.
Then he hesitated for less than a second and walked directly in.
It's raining outside.
If An An didn't bring an umbrella...
He can send her back.
In the elevator.
Su An watched as the number on the panel slowly changed to "1" and hurriedly straightened her clothes against the reflective wall.
After confirming that there was no problem, she hurriedly walked out, feeling a little sorry.
The first time the senior came to pick her up, she was late.
Besides, it's still raining outside...
While Su An was thinking, he subconsciously speeded up his pace a little more.
The door is close at hand.
Su An saw a familiar figure leaning against the door.
There is an umbrella on the wall next to it.
"Senior!"
She said hello, hurried towards Lu Ziting, and immediately apologized, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"fine."
As Lu Ziting spoke, he reached out and rubbed her hair as if he had just expressed it, and asked gently, "Are you done?"
"Um."
Su An nodded, glanced at the rain curtain outside, and then glanced at the umbrella in Lu Ziting's hand.
Then I heard him suddenly smile and say, "It seems my wish has come true."
"What?"
Su An was puzzled.
The smile on Lu Ziting's lips became heavier and he shook the umbrella in his hand.
"I was thinking just now, if you brought an umbrella, how would I let you hold the same umbrella as me, but if you didn't, wouldn't that be just right?"
Su An was startled when he heard this and reacted for a few seconds. Suddenly he wanted to laugh but was a little shy.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt as if she got to know the person in front of her again.
In his eyes, the senior has always been mature, steady and reliable.
But speaking out his "little thoughts" so straightforwardly now is still a bit...cute?
"Okay, let's go. If you don't go, the rain will get worse."
Lu Ziting did not miss the smile in Su An's eyes, and his mood improved a little, and he planned to take her away first.
"good."
Su An nodded and was about to walk out with him when he suddenly heard a "clang" from the security door not far behind him.
She looked over subconsciously.
Then his expression suddenly stiffened.
Gu...Gu Jingchen?
Why is he still here?
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Lu Ziting obviously noticed Su An's expression, followed her gaze, and his expression changed slightly.
None of the three people spoke.
The atmosphere also became awkward little by little in the silence.
Gu Jingchen stood there, looking at Lu Ziting and Su An standing side by side not far away, and felt that his whole heart was being twisted, and there were bursts of pain.
Lu Ziting is actually here.
Is he here to pick up An An?
How far have the two of them... developed?
Already together?
That's right, An An has long said that the person she likes is Lu Ziting.
Gu Jingchen couldn't help clenching his fingers a little bit.
I want to say something, but I can't say a word.
They have divorced.
No matter who Su An is with, he has no right to interfere.
What's more, people like Lu Ziting and Chu Qi are completely different...
The three of them looked at each other in silence.
finally--
"Senior, let's go."
Su An was the first to break the silence and took a step closer to Lu Ziting.
He smiled at Gu Jingchen again.
That smile didn't mean anything, it was just a simple greeting.
Then he turned around without hesitation.
"good."
Lu Ziting responded, withdrew his gaze, and walked out with Su An.
Gu Jingchen stood there, veins already popping up on the back of his hands.
He wanted to catch up.
I even hope that the person protecting Su An now is him!
But he could only watch helplessly as Lu Ziting carefully protected Su An under the umbrella, walked to the front of the car, and opened the door.
The black car sped away.
The breath around Gu Jingchen also became cold, and the jealousy in his heart had completely soaked his heart.
But, it's already too late.
For a long time——
A wry smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
At this point, the only opportunity for him to get in touch with An An in an honest way is through work...
Gu Jingchen thought, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
In the car——
Su An was still a little embarrassed about what happened just now.
She had not originally planned to tell Lu Ziting that Gu Jingchen was the company's partner this time, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.
But they never expected that they would bump into each other directly in the company just one day after the cooperation started!
And the senior hasn’t asked anything yet...
If you were a person with a bad temper, if you saw the person you were pursuing and your "ex-husband" appearing at the same time, you would probably be angry and leave by now, right?
Su An thought about it and finally took the initiative to explain, "Senior, Gu Jingchen... is the partner of our company this time."
"cooperate?"
Lu Ziting had been waiting for Su An to take the initiative to mention this matter.
But I didn't expect it to be a collaboration, so I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although he chose to be a policeman, he didn't know anything about business.
How could a company as big as Gu's suddenly cooperate with a company of An An's size?
I'm afraid...it's just a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.
Lu Ziting's eyes darkened, and he guessed Gu Jingchen's purpose almost instantly.
Then suddenly I heard——
"I'm sorry, senior, I..."
Su An suddenly apologized to him, with a face full of hesitation.
Lu Ziting's heart suddenly softened unexpectedly, and he smiled hurriedly.
"What's there to apologize for?"
His tone was not unhappy at all. Seeing that Su An still looked apologetic, he hurriedly continued.
"An'an, I don't mind if you have any work dealings with Gu Jingchen, and I won't interfere with you because of it. And... I'm very happy that you are willing to explain to me. I can safely regard it as... you care a lot.
A manifestation of my thoughts?”
"I……"
Su An was stunned when he heard this.
Then I suddenly felt like I was getting used to Lu Ziting's extremely straightforward way of communicating.
But it doesn't bother her.
After thinking about it, she laughed calmly.
"Yes, I care about what you think, because... you are very good to me, so I don't want you to be unhappy because of this matter."
Su An learned to use his direct way to answer the question just now.
This time it was Lu Ziting's turn to be the unexpected one.
He raised his eyebrows, paying attention to Su An's expression calmly, and said in a tentative voice, "Although I'm not angry, but... I'm still a little jealous..."
Su An's expression changed slightly when he heard this. When he heard the word "jealous", a look of embarrassment quickly flashed across his face.
Jealousy represents possessiveness towards someone.
Of course she understands.
only……
She still can't respond to her senior's confession.
But she wanted to put his mind at ease.
Su An thought, and hurriedly spoke shyly and seriously.
"Senior, don't worry, Gu Jingchen and I are really over, and even if the company cooperates, we won't meet often. Since I have promised to... give us a chance, I will definitely take it seriously.
I won’t do it half-heartedly.”
Her expression was a little serious, and she almost raised her hands to take an oath.
Lu Ziting looked at her and thought she was extremely cute like this. Finally, he couldn't help but stretched out his finger and gently scratched the tip of Su An's nose.
"I told you I won't be angry, why are you so serious? Of course I believe we are safe."
The instant contact made both of them feel a tiny electric current passing through them.
Coupled with the intimate address of "our An'an", Su An's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Lu Ziting's actions just now were almost unabashedly doting.
But kept just the right distance.
In the past, Gu Jingchen always made similar intimate gestures towards her.
Although she was happy, she was followed by worry and fear.
I'm afraid that he will change his face in the next second and withdraw all the tenderness he has given me.
However, the senior will not give people such a feeling.
Whether it was his movements or his eyes, she could feel his love that was no longer hidden...
turn out to be……
Is this what it feels like to be loved by someone?
Su An was thinking about it and was about to speak when she heard Lu Ziting suddenly and gently asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll accompany you to the supermarket to buy something to take home?"
"good……"
Su An nodded, knowing that there was no need to talk about the topic just now.
This is Lu Ziting's unique thoughtfulness.
It seemed like he would never be in trouble.
The two of them changed the topic of conversation and went to the supermarket to buy something. Su An then returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, he received another message from Lu Ziting.
She opened it and took a look, with a smile on her face.
[An'an, I'm very happy today, so...can I pick you up if I have time later? 】
Su An put down what she was holding and tapped on the screen gently.
Of course.
Today...she is also very happy.
Thank you, senior, for letting her experience what it feels like to be cared about carefully.
