After work, Gu Nianbin was still sitting in the office. Zhou Ting wandered around outside for a long time and didn't see him come out. After thinking for a while, she walked up to the door and knocked, "Boss, it's almost time for your appointment with Miss Xia to have dinner tonight."
Gu Nianbin responded with an okay. He slowly stood up and put on his coat. As he walked out, he asked, "Have you delivered my clothes over?"
"I've only bought a few new clothes for you to change. The coat you usually wear just happens to be sold out in your size. The new ones won't arrive until tomorrow, so…"
"It doesn't matter. It'll be fine as long as I have clothes to change tonight." Gu Nianbin came to her side and stopped. He seemed to have something to tell her. But he frowned and walked out without saying anything.
Zhou Ting knew that he must be trying to talk about Du Xiaoxian, so she summoned up the courage to chase after him, "Boss, Xiaoxian
The clock on the wall was already showing eleven o'clock in the evening. Gu Nianbin did not come back. Du Xiaoxian knew that he would not come back. He was so angry that he almost scared her out of wits. And he left angrily. But then he immediately asked Xia Xiaowan out for dinner. Without her, he still got Xia Xiaowan and he would never be lonely.The bowl of noodles was still on the dining table. She had no appetite at all and didn't want to eat anything. With her eyes gradually focused on something from somewhere in the void, she suddenly saw the two cookies in the cabinet which were saved by Gu Nianbin when he was making small cookies a long time ago. She drew a picture of a man and a woman on the cookies, with words written on the back. She was reluctant to eat them and kept them on the plate like that.Later, Gu Nianbin dissolved some hot chocolate to glue the two cookies to the plate. Then, he put the plate on the bracket as a small ornament.
As Du Xiaoxian slowly walked back, she thought to herself, "Everything is over."She had seen the truth. Everything was settled. It was time for her to leave.She took big breaths and accidentally sucked the cold air into her trachea. She stood on the side of the street and coughed awkwardly until tears fell from her eyes. She felt that she was so useless as to cough out tears. However, it seemed to be relaxing in her heart. The matter that had been in suspense for a long time was finally settled. She no longer had to think nonsense.Standing on the side of the street, she called Du Huayue. The ringtone rang for a long time before it was answered. On the other end of the phone came Du Huayue's sleepy voice, "Xiaoxian, why are you calling so early?"Du Xiaoxian said apologetically, "Brother Ah Yue, were you on duty last night? Then I'll call you again later.""It's okay. I'm almost about to get up. What's the matter? Ju
Du Xiaoxian got out of the car and looked around. It was really quiet here. She did not expect that a coffee shop could be opened in such a secluded place. But it looked very stylish.She pushed open the door and entered. There were only a few guests inside, which was a little bleak. Someone waved at her in the corner. Although the lights were dim, she recognized it was Xia Xiaowan.When she got closer, Xia Xiaowan smiled and asked, "Was it hard to find this place?""Not really. The driver knew the address." Du Xiaoxian sat down and untied her scarf to put it aside."What do you want to drink?" Xia Xiaowan called for a waiter."Just give me a glass of water," said Du Xiaoxian.Xia Xiaowan asked, "Don't you like coffee because it's bitter?""No, I just can't get used to it."Xia Xiaowan said to the waiter, "Give this young miss a glass of boiled water."The waiter took
As soon as Du Xiaoxian returned home and was changing shoes at the entrance, she received a call from He Sen. He asked her if she was at home and said that he could come up to pick up the painting since he was passing by. Du Xiaoxian hurriedly answered that she was at home and told him to come up quickly.After hanging up the phone, Du Xiaoxian took off her wet coat and took it to the balcony to hang up. She heard the rain knocking on the window glass, tick-tock, tick-tock. It was as if thousands of soldiers and war horses were suddenly galloping over, which could make anyone tremble in fear who heard it. Du Xiaoxian was glad that she had returned early, or else she would be drenched in water.She went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of hot tea, slowly taking a few mouthfuls of it, feeling much warmer.The doorbell rang. She knew that it must be He Sen. So she opened the door, and there he was. She saw that his hair and clothes were wet,
Gu Nianbin was prepared for everything, but he didn't expect Du Xiaoxian to leave. She had clearly done something wrong yet she didn't think so and didn't take the initiative to admit her mistake. Instead, she actually left! How dare she!He thought that losing his temper was enough for Du Xiaoxian to reflect upon herself, so he waited patiently. He didn't expect this kind of news to come.When the apartment manager called him, he was in a meeting. His phone was turned silent and didn't receive the call in time. When he returned to his office after the meeting, he picked up his phone and glanced at the screen to see the missed call. He thought that someone was looking for trouble with Du Xiaoxian again, so he immediately called back. He didn't expect the apartment manager to tell him that Du Xiaoxian had left with a bag on her back.Before he could think about anything, he immediately drove back. The moment he pushed open the door, he was still
His head seemed to be about to crack from the ache. Gu Nianbin stroked his forehead with his hand and opened his eyes with difficulty. The curtains were closed in the room, making it very dark; his arms were exposed to the air, and it was a little cold. Only then did he realize that he was actually naked. He was shocked. Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat rose on his back and he slowly turned around. A woman was lying on the side and sleeping soundly. Although her long hair covered her face, Gu Nianbin recognized who she was. His heart sank instantly, and the cold sweat broke out on his back even more.Why was it Xia Xiaowan? Why would he lie in the same bed as Xia Xiaowan? Gu Nianbin panicked for an instant, almost wanting to sneak away!But in the next second, he was calm again. He remembered that he had drunk a lot last night. There was a woman sitting beside him in a daze. The lights were too dim for him to see clearly who she was. So it was Xia Xiaowan, b
Although Du Xiaoxian had left, Gu Nianbin did not go back. He was afraid of the empty house, and he was even more afraid of the yearning that accompanied him. There were traces of Du Xiaoxian everywhere in the house, and those things would drive him crazy.He was a silent person, and now he was even more silent. No matter how Shao Boqing teased him and joked about him, he did not say a word. He only lowered his head to look at the wine in the glass.Shao Boqing also found it strange. When he learned from Zhou Ting that Gu Nianbin had been staying in a hotel for the past few days, he was shocked beyond everything. Given Gu Nianbin's fascination with Du Xiaoxian, there was no way the little girl would offend him. In his impression, Gu Nianbin could leave aside his principles to be good to Du Xiaoxian. He once jokingly told Nina that even if Du Xiaoxian cheated on Gu Nianbin, as long as Du Xiaoxian didn't leave, Gu Nianbin would never kick her away. Nina spat
"Xiaowan," Gu Nianbin stared at her with a determined look in his eyes. "I asked you out because I have something to say." Xia Xiaowan was a little flustered. She took a mouthful of tea and calmed herself down. "Brother Nianbin, what do you want to say?""I'm sorry about that night," Gu Nianbin said slowly. "But that doesn't change anything, do you know what I mean?"The smile on Xia Xiaowan's face disappeared completely. She had actually guessed something like, but she didn't expect Gu Nianbin to be so straightforward."Brother Nianbin, I don't understand what you mean." She didn't want to pretend anymore, so she decided to have her cards on the table today.Gu Nianbin was slightly surprised. He lowered his eyes and flicked the ashes. "Xiaowan, as you said, we're both adults. What happened that night was purely an accident. I don't think there's a need to take it to heart.""You don't want to be responsible for me?"
