The familiar environment in the store made her feel a little melancholy.
The attentive waiter came to us quickly and arranged a suitable seat for the two of them.
Su An was tense throughout the whole process.
Especially when Gu Jingchen handed over the menu.
At a glance, she saw several types of tea that she often drank. After hesitating for two seconds, she pushed the menu back.
"Let's order it, Mr. Gu. It's my first time here and I'm not very familiar with this place."
Su An found a perfect answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a smile on Gu Jingchen's lips.
But it was fleeting, making her wonder if she had seen it wrong.
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more. He took the menu and said in a caring tone, "Since you've been in a bad mood lately, why don't you drink some soothing flower and fruit tea, eat something, and go back to bed early in the evening?"
"good……"
Su An nodded, although he hesitated a little, but didn't say much.
She did not ask why she was treated so specially, nor did she refuse.
Gu Jingchen didn't explain either.
It seemed like he should have been so kind to her.
And she just needs to accept it.
The two of them worked against each other very naturally, and then Su An turned on the computer and continued the work at hand, while Gu Jingchen gave some pointers from time to time.
To anyone, it looked like a couple who happened to work nearby and took a break from their busy schedule to come here for a date.
Soon, the ordered tea was brought out.
Su An's mouth was indeed a little dry, and she subconsciously wanted to pour herself a drink.
As soon as my fingertips touched the cup, I felt a touch of warmth.
It's Gu Jingchen.
They both wanted to get the same cup at the same time.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Su An subconsciously looked at the person in front of him, and was caught off guard by falling into those bottomless black eyes.
The fingertips are the burning temperature coming from the other person's fingertips.
It was as if I could feel his heartbeat beating through his skin.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.
It's time to let go.
The same idea came to two people's minds.
But no one moved, they were all waiting for the other's reaction.
I don’t know how many seconds passed——
"Just keep working, I'll pour it for you."
Gu Jingchen finally raised his hand and took the cup away from Su An.
Su An lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The surroundings seemed to be surrounded by an atmosphere called "tacit understanding".
Previously, if she accidentally had any physical contact with Gu Jingchen, she would definitely apologize immediately to avoid arousing his resentment.
But now...
It doesn't matter if you don't apologize.
It doesn't matter if you touch it.
even……
Gu Jingchen's co-pilot has almost become her exclusive seat these days.
If she still doesn't understand his intentions, she really needs to go to the hospital to have her head checked...
Soon, dinner was over.
It's been a long time since I've been to a familiar restaurant. Su An felt very comfortable eating this meal.
Gu Jingchen also said naturally, "Get in the car and I'll take you back."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Having driven his car more than once, Su An was already used to it, so she opened the passenger door and got in.
But all the images in my mind were of the previous fingertips touching each other.
Yes or no……
Is it already clear?
If she is a woman who truly loves Gu Jingchen, she can slowly start to flirt with him and have plenty of time to play ambiguous games.
But she can't.
Maybe Gu Jingchen is also waiting for her to make it clear?
His concern for her has gone beyond the scope of an assistant from a long time ago.
After returning from this business trip, it became even more obvious!
Su An thought about it all the way, how to make a clear decision.
Until the car was stable downstairs.
"arrive."
Gu Jingchen's reminder also sounded in his ears.
Su An unbuckled her seat belt smoothly but did not rush to get out of the car.
A closed space is the best place for conversation.
Even if you don’t get a definite answer, it’s just a little test...
Su An thought about it and finally couldn't help but whispered, "Mr. Gu, can I ask you a question?"
"explain."
Gu Jingchen was not surprised at all, as if he had been waiting for her to take the initiative.
Su An was silent for two seconds, and then continued, "I have thought a lot these days. Tang Ze and I... are both your assistants, but I feel that you are particularly kind to me, but... I feel wrong
Is it done?"
She didn't dare to speak too clearly, she just wanted to test Gu Jingchen's attitude.
Just ambiguous?
Or do you want to... develop a relationship?
She hoped it was the second answer.
Gu Jingchen also fell into silence because of her question.
Did An An finally feel it?
Is his current behavior what she expected?
Since she chose to use a false identity to stay with him, she must have her own purpose.
I just don’t know what the purpose of this is... what distance is required between the two of them?
The words "I'm pursuing you" were on his lips, but Gu Jingchen didn't dare to speak.
After finally meeting the person he has longed for, he must be safe.
The two thought of going together again.
Just like two people walking on two ends of a tightrope, every step must be cautious.
It's better to be slower than to make the wrong move.
For a long time——
"I……"
Gu Jingchen finally spoke, with the answer he had thought about countless times.
Since chasing people will scare them away...
So...what about pretending?
If she is given another false identity, will she be more relaxed?
Thinking about it, Gu Jingchen slowly said, "Actually... I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
"What?"
Su An asked hurriedly.
Gu Jingchen no longer hesitated and said directly, "I would like to ask you to pretend to be my girlfriend and cooperate with me on necessary occasions."
"Pretend...girlfriend?"
Su An was startled at first, and then fireworks exploded in his heart.
The progress came so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Gu Jingchen was afraid that she would not agree, so he hurriedly added, "Actually, I have been considering this matter for a long time, but there has never been a suitable candidate. The reason for choosing you is very simple. First, because we have been getting along day and night for a long time, and we are very fond of each other.
I also have a certain understanding. Secondly, based on this relationship, it is very convenient to work. Of course, if you are wronged by such a thing, I will privately increase your salary by a certain amount..."
Gu Jingchen tried hard to make these two reasons sound reasonable.
Su An also gradually came to his senses.
She has no reason not to agree!
Whether it’s true or false, a name like “girlfriend” can facilitate many things!
It can also bring her closer to Gu Jingchen!
Moreover, Gu Jingchen said that he had been thinking about the candidate for a long time, and speaking to her now is enough to prove that she is different!
And those ambiguous actions...
It's not just as simple as pretending as he said!
No matter what, agree first and then talk about it, and then adapt to the situation in the future!
Su An tried hard to calm down, suppressed her emotions, maintained her usual business-like attitude, and agreed, "Since this matter has caused so much trouble to Mr. Gu, I can help."
