Su An stiffened, subconsciously moved towards the window, and turned to look at him in confusion.
Then he heard Gu Jingchen continue in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I don't mean anything else. You know, I'm not used to sitting with strangers."
He seemed to be explaining.
After Su An listened, the subtle emotions in her heart decreased a little, but did not completely dissipate.
If you’re not used to sitting with strangers, wouldn’t it be better to take business class?
Why do you have to squeeze in here with them?
"Um."
Su An retorted in her heart, but didn't say much. She just responded lightly and turned to look out the window.
never mind.
She never understood what Gu Jingchen was thinking.
There is no need to understand now.
Anyway, this business trip wasn't just the two of them.
It's just a seat, it doesn't matter.
I hope that from now on, Gu Jingchen... would be better off doing anything that would cause misunderstanding.
The whole journey was silent.
Su An almost kept turning her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Gu Jingchen didn't bother her, but his eyes fell on her from time to time, which made him feel more at ease and in a good mood.
An hour later——
Everyone finally arrived at their destination.
Gu Jingchen had already arranged everything. As soon as he left the station, a greeter came over and took several people to the hotel.
"Su An, isn't Mr. Gu too nice?"
In the business car that could accommodate seven people, Qin Rou pulled Su An to sit at the end and whispered in her ear.
"Um?"
Su An didn't understand why she said such a sentence without any beginning or end.
Then listen to the sermon.
"This is the first time I've seen such an unassuming partner, especially... he belongs to the Gu family! He even prepared a car to take us with him. We have never encountered someone who didn't care at all and asked us to take a taxi.
Woolen cloth……"
"There are still people like this?"
Su An was a little surprised when he heard this.
Then he suddenly realized something, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.
It's not that she's being sentimental.
But after all, Gu Jingchen and her...
It’s not like you can’t even sit in a car, right?
It would also be nice if it could make things more convenient for everyone because of her relationship.
Su An thought about it and hurriedly changed the topic to chat with Qin Rou and stopped thinking about it.
Soon, the car arrived at the door of the hotel.
Looking at the star-rated hotel in front of her, Qin Rou was secretly happy and kept winking at Su An.
Su An was not surprised.
And as expected, she was assigned to the same room as Qin Rou.
The other two male colleagues lived in the same room.
Gu Jingchen was naturally alone.
After getting the room card, everyone went upstairs together.
Gu Jingchen specially arranged a room for the three of them on the same floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he spoke directly.
"Everyone should go back to the room and take a rest. You can sort out the work at hand for now. We will start the details tomorrow. I will be the host and treat everyone to dinner in the evening."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance past Su An quickly, feeling a little uneasy, fearing that she would find an excuse to refuse.
Then I heard——
"Thank you Mr. Gu!"
As expected, Qin Rou was the first to say thank you on behalf of everyone.
Su An didn't say anything and seemed to acquiesce.
Gu Jingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
This Qin Rou... it was indeed right to bring her together.
She seems to have a good relationship with An An...
He nodded without saying anything more, then turned and walked towards his room. As soon as he returned to the room, he immediately asked Tang Ze to book a suitable restaurant.
In the evening, everyone gathered in the hall.
Su An was dragged down by Qin Rou and two other colleagues early in the morning, saying that they could not let Gu Jingchen wait for them.
After waiting for a while, Gu Jingchen appeared as expected.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I immediately attracted the attention of the entire hall!
He was originally tall, had long legs, and had an outstanding temperament.
He is no longer the slightly casual suit he wore during the day, but a style with dark patterns. His tie and tie clip are clearly matched carefully, and his whole person exudes an aura that does not allow strangers to approach him.
But when he saw Su An and the others, he smiled slightly.
"Why did you come down so early? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
he asked casually.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little shocked by his "casualness".
How can there be such a good father in this world?
Although the work is hard, I still don’t get any benefits for overtime work, and I still treat them so kindly!
Qin Rou has always been the representative of everyone. After hearing this, she immediately said, "No, we have just come down."
After saying that, he hurriedly praised, "Mr. Gu is so handsome. If you don't know, you might think we are going to a dinner party! Do we need to go upstairs to change clothes too?"
"Need not."
Gu Jingchen smiled slightly and glanced in Su An's direction calmly.
An An...do you think he is handsome like this?
I remember that once before, he went to a dinner party and had no time to choose clothes, so he asked An An to help.
This is what she chose.
I even praised him a lot at that time...
Gu Jingchen glanced at Su An again, looking forward to what she could say.
But he saw her frowning slightly.
Of course Su An recognized this suit of clothes, and she was also puzzled.
It's just an ordinary meal for five people...
Gu Jingchen doesn't really have to dress like he's going to a banquet, right?
Somehow, the four characters "Peacock Spreading Its Tail" suddenly appeared in Su An's mind.
It seems to fit extremely well on Gu Jingchen's body now.
but……
What he wants to wear has nothing to do with her.
Su An thought about it, looked away slightly, and asked, "Shall we leave now?"
Gu Jingchen only waited for this sentence, and when he heard this, a flash of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Then he hurriedly hid his emotions and replied in a deep voice, "Well, let's go."
Several people left the hotel together.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the door of a very antique-style restaurant.
The waiter led everyone into the private room that Gu Jingchen had already reserved.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Jingchen said in a deep voice, "You can order whatever you want, you're welcome."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Several people hurriedly thanked him.
Along the way, everyone's favorable impression of Gu Jingchen almost skyrocketed.
As soon as she sat down, Qin Rou sighed, "We are so lucky to be cooperating this time. We meet a client like Mr. Gu who is both capable of working and easy to talk to."
"Yes, I heard in the past that Mr. Gu is extremely strict with his subordinates, but now that I have met him, I realize that Mr. Gu is such a kind person!"
The two male colleagues next to him also praised him.
Su An remained silent, just listening quietly, feeling a little surprised.
Gu Jingchen's temper... seems to have improved recently?
She had seen him working before.
A change of expression can instantly make Tang Ze dare not say a word.
I didn't expect that Qin Rou and the others would speak so highly of him when they got here...
Just as Su An was thinking, she suddenly heard Qin Rou say in surprise, "Mr. Gu, are you married?"
The word "marriage" suddenly hit Su An's nerves!
The teacup in her hand almost fell out of her hands. She came back to her senses instantly and looked sharply at Gu Jingchen, with surprise that was not hidden in her eyes.
Why did Qin Rou suddenly mention this?
Su An's mind went blank for a moment.
Then he saw Gu Jingchen's left hand and calmly turned a ring on the ring finger of his right hand!
The style of the ring looked familiar. Su An stared at it for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly widened, and a flash of disbelief flashed through his eyes.
That... that's...
Their wedding rings!!!
Su An blinked his eyes, his mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and he was a little confused.
Why did Gu Jingchen bring that ring out?
Didn't he never bring it with him?
In the past, when she first got married, she was so happy that she couldn't put her hands down on their wedding rings, and would look at them many times every day.
But gradually, she discovered that Gu Jingchen had never had that ring on his hand since the wedding.
She asked several times, but he always dismissed her by saying, "I don't like wearing jewelry."
Later, she stopped asking.
He also took his ring off his finger.
She even guessed whether Gu Jingchen had lost the ring...
Why is he wearing the ring again now?
Just as Su An was thinking about it, she heard Gu Jingchen nod in agreement, "Yes."
He responded to Qin Rou's question just now.
Su An was stunned again, and the confusion in his eyes became even stronger.
Then she heard Qin Rou ask again, "Mr. Gu, may I ask, what kind of person is your lady? A woman who can marry Mr. Gu must be very good!"
Su An's hand holding the tea cup tightened suddenly, and her mood became a little subtle.
This question...
How would Gu Jingchen respond?
In his eyes, she probably doesn't have any merit.
After all, there was always only Ye Kexin in his eyes.
Or, the person behind this ring may not be her at all.
"she……"
Gu Jingchen's voice suddenly sounded, suddenly pulling Su An back from his thoughts.
Then he felt two eyes slowly falling on him.
"She is a very gentle person."
Gu Jingchen spoke slowly, his eyes sweeping over Su An gently, but he did not dare to stop too much.
He knew that Su An didn't want others to know about their relationship.
After a two-second pause, he continued, "She is also gentle, virtuous, considerate, and understands me very well. Whenever I see her every day, no matter how tiring she is at work, she seems to feel nothing..."
As Gu Jingchen said, his heart couldn't help but beat a little fast.
I don’t know An An...
Can you understand what he means?
He really wanted to tell her that she was someone who could make him feel at ease and that he needed her very much...
"Wow~ This is so sweet!"
Qin Rou didn't expect that he would answer so seriously, and she was immediately filled with envy.
Su An's mood calmed down quickly.
really……
Gentle, virtuous, and considerate.
Gu Jingchen still looked at her like this.
But these are not her advantages at all. The so-called understanding is better to say that she can swallow her anger.
If she hadn't been too "understanding" before, how could she have gotten to where she is today?
"Hey... it's true. An outstanding person like Mr. Gu not only gets married early, but he also cares about his family. There are differences between people. We should all learn from Mr. Gu!"
The two male colleagues next to me also started to flatter him.
Su Anmeng felt a little funny when he heard the two people's compliments.
Gu family?
These two words are so different from him.
Memories of the past came flooding back. Su An took a sip of tea and finally glanced at the ring on Gu Jingchen's hand.
I already have the answer in my heart.
This set of words, coupled with this ring, should be able to ward off many women who would come to him, right?
After all, their divorce cannot be airtight.
People who are "intentional" will always know.
Anyway, since the day they divorced.
This ring has nothing to do with her, Su An.
Su An was thinking, and suddenly felt the phone in her hand vibrate.
She hurriedly picked it up, glanced down, and found a message from Lu Ziting, asking if she had arrived safely.
Su An remembered that she hadn't said anything to him since she remembered it, so she hurriedly replied.
[Sorry, senior, we have arrived a long time ago. I forgot to tell you. I am eating out with everyone right now. 】
She took the opportunity to explain her itinerary.
Only a few seconds after the message was sent, Lu Ziting's message came back.
[It’s good to be here. It seems that you are still not used to the feeling of being cared about? But it doesn’t matter. I will let you get used to it slowly. 】
Su An couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after reading his message.
Then, without waiting for a reply, another message was sent from the other side.
[Actually, I have finished my work a long time ago, and I have wanted to ask you if you have arrived, but I am afraid that you will find me annoying, so I want to wait and see, but you really forget. If I had known, I would have asked earlier, so there is no need to worry about it.
So long.]
At the end of the message, Lu Ziting also sent an emoticon of a dog that looked a little depressed.
Su An couldn't help but laugh out loud at the contrast between him and herself while chatting, and couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart.
Is the senior too careful with her?
But...she seems to understand this feeling.
She used to do the same to Gu Jingchen.
I want to call him or send him a message, but I am afraid of disturbing him and arousing his resentment.
Senior, do you feel the same way now?
But...he doesn't have to do this.
Because she is not Gu Jingchen.
Even more because he is really good.
Even if she couldn't give a response, she didn't want her senior to be wronged.
Su An thought and replied quickly.
[Senior, why do I find you annoying? When you want to send me a message, just contact me directly. As long as I see it, I will definitely reply to you. 】
After sending it, she followed Lu Ziting's example and did not forget to add a cute expression after the message, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Then I heard——
"An'an, you secretly play with your phone and still laugh so happily!"
Qin Rou's voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned towards Su An instantly!
Su An was stunned, hurriedly put down the phone, and smiled awkwardly at Qin Rou.
Immediately afterwards, the other two colleagues on the side also spoke.
"I must be sending messages to the handsome guy that day! An'an, since you like him, just agree to him as soon as possible! I think he is really good to you. I think when I was chasing my wife, what I did the most was to go to the company to give her
She delivers food!”
"I……"
Su An was teased so much that she didn't know what to say, and her expression was a little subtle and a little embarrassed for a while.
But he didn't open his mouth to refute.
At the main seat, Gu Jingchen listened quietly, his left hand hidden under the table already clenched tightly.
The expression on his face was not as gentle as before, and his heart hurt as if it had been hit hard by a giant object.
Why didn't An An refute?
Refute them!
Said that he and Lu Ziting were just ordinary friends...
His eyes looked straight at Su An without concealment.
But he found that she didn't pay attention to him.
Instead, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the mobile phone next to her amidst everyone's teasing, with a smile on her lips.
It actually has a little bit of sweetness to it.
There was a "buzzing" in Gu Jingchen's ears, and his mind went blank for a moment.
