Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 168
Under the orange light, his handsome face had a rare childish look, Gu Shi'an looked away, and said casually, "Not bad."

She didn't look at Chen Xiao again, and went back to the living room after she finished speaking.

Chen Xiao finished the pot of instant noodles, and then lazily returned to the living room in satisfaction.

The living room was so quiet for a moment that there was only the sound from the TV.Chen Xiao looked at Gu Shi'an who was sitting on the side, and for some reason suddenly remembered her from before.

Before she confessed, if the two stayed together, there would hardly be such a quiet time.Most of the time she is the one talking.

She was originally a person who didn't talk much, and her flattery to him was jerky and clumsy.She thought he didn't know, but in fact, he did.Just pretend not to know it.

Many pictures from the past came to mind, Chen Xiao's chest was aching, and he looked away.Putting on a casual look, he asked, "Have you visited grandma recently?"

After the two left that night, Gu Shi'an never visited the old lady again. When she heard Chen Xiao's words, she shook her head and said no.

Chen Xiao didn't speak, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Next weekend, Aunt Ye asked to go to the old house for dinner."

Gu Shi'an looked up at him, Chen Xiao looked away, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "Next weekend is grandma's birthday."

Yes, this is the old lady's first birthday after her death.In the past, every year on this day, everyone would get together at the old house.

When the old lady was mentioned, the atmosphere became a little heavy.Gu Shi'an replied in a low voice.

The atmosphere fell silent like this, so sitting was undoubtedly a bit awkward, so Gu Shi'an sat for a while, then went back to the bedroom.Chen Xiao was left alone in the living room.

Lying on the bed, Gu Shian couldn't fall asleep.After thinking about many things in my mind, I remembered the strange face she drew that person described today.

She was slightly taken aback.Chang Li is optimistic, but she knows that Lincheng is so big, looking for someone is like finding a needle in a haystack, it's not that easy.

She closed her eyes tightly.

Going to bed late at night, Gu Shian was already late when he went to the company.She had just arrived at the entrance of the company when she saw Gu Su getting out of the car.

Gu Su put on heavy makeup and wore a small suit.Seeing her, she narrowed her eyes, and then a half-smile appeared on her lips, and said, "It's a coincidence that Yuanjia Road is narrow." After a slight pause, she looked at the time, and said, "According to my I know, it seems to be too late now."

Gu Shi'an didn't want to talk to her either, he glanced at her and didn't speak.

Gu Su didn't stare at her being late either, he raised his chin and asked, "You've been here for so long, how are you doing?"

She is a superficial smile.He must be very familiar with Gu Shi'an's current situation.

Although her life was not as sad as expected, it was not an easy one either.Her status here is undoubtedly embarrassing, and almost no one will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.Even when she went to the cafeteria to eat, she was often the only one.

"Tofu, it's okay." She replied lightly.

The two of them had already entered the hall, Gu Su's mouth curled into a weird smile, he stopped looking at her, and walked away with his high heels.

Although Gu Shi'an didn't see your weird smile at the corner of her mouth, he knew that she would not ask these questions for no reason.

His heart sank involuntarily, and he walked quickly to the office.

Sister Du will be here long ago when she arrives, and she has a lot of things to do today.She was quite critical of her late arrival, but she did not say so clearly.Throwing a stack of documents to her, she went to work on her own affairs.

Gu Su didn't know what would come out, and Gu Shi'an was a little absent-minded all day long.

Later, when the work at hand was finished, she casually asked Sister Du about the resignation of the staff in the company.

Sister Du gave a vague answer, saying that it was fine before, but she has left a lot in the past two years.The top executives of the company have also been poached a lot.Even the assistants around Mr. Gu walked away a few times.

Gu Shi'an's heart sank, although that person's face was unfamiliar.But the only people who want her life are those from the Gu family.The people around them have gone several times, so it is difficult to find out.

The best way is to take out the portrait and ask the old staff here to identify it.But this move will undoubtedly startle the snake.

Gu Shi'an didn't think of a good solution until he got off work.There was no news from Chang'an either, so he called Gu Shi'an and asked her to put aside the matter of recruiting, and she would ask someone to check.I asked about Gu Shi'an's archives, and asked when it would be more appropriate for her to come over.

Gu Shi'an didn't have time to go to the small building today, and he didn't know when the gate would close.Now that she is off work, it is obviously impossible for her to inquire.Everyone goes out after get off work, but she is the only one who walks in, which is easy to arouse suspicion.

Now she said take it easy.The chance of being discovered by Chang'an is much higher than that of her alone.She intends to look at it alone before talking.

Chang Ji didn't doubt anything, he just asked her to pick a good time to tell her.

Gu Shi'an said yes.She remembered what happened when Chen Xiao appeared at the door of the restaurant last night, she paused for a moment, and then asked Chang: "Last night, how did Chen Xiao know where we were?"

When she asked about this, she was usually not surprised at all. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, she said, "He asked that person to speak."

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now.Since he was the one who asked that person to speak, he obviously knew about her past.

It took her dozens of seconds before she could force a smile.Changed the subject, said a few other words, and then hung up the phone.

After work, she was about to pack up and leave when she received a call from Chen Xiao.He said that he was on the side of the road at the opposite intersection and asked her to go directly after get off work.

His call today was quite punctual, and I don't know why he came here in person.Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, but simply said yes.

When she passed by, Chen Xiao was still smoking in the car. Seeing her, he stubbed out the cigarette and started the car.

The car drove directly into the parking lot, and then the two entered the elevator one after the other.Gu Shi'an's life here has not changed much, and he went to the kitchen to get food after entering the door.

Chen Xiao's work should not be finished yet, so he didn't come over to make trouble now, and went to the study to deal with business.When the food was on the table, he sat down at the table without Gu Shian calling him.

The two of them still didn't talk much, most of it was Chen Xiao.Gu Shi'an just nodded or said yes or two.

After finishing her meal and cleaning up the kitchen, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Her stomach had been aching all day long, but she didn't pay attention to it. She didn't realize it was menstruation until she changed her clothes.This time it was three days earlier, so she had a stomachache and she didn't expect it to be the menstrual event.

Here are things that are no longer useful.Gu Shi'an was embarrassed, so he gritted his teeth and took the bath first.

It took her a long time to take a bath, and her stomach hurts out of control.She rubbed her stomach vigorously.

It is undoubtedly very embarrassing to go out with useless things here.She didn't think of a good solution for a while, so she kept dawdling in the bathroom.

After half an hour, there was a sudden knock on the bathroom door.Chen Xiao outside the door called tentatively, "Gu Shi'an?"

Gu Shi'an bit his lip, but finally gave a muffled hum.

Chen Xiao probably sensed something was wrong with her voice, and asked outside: "Have you finished washing?"

It was impossible to say this, Gu Shi'an said sullenly again: "After washing, I will come out in a while."

Although she said she would go out in a while, she squatted and did not move.

The sound of Chen Xiao's footsteps outside did not go away, he was probably still standing at the door.Now she said again: "Come out in a moment."

Chen Xiao didn't know what he thought of, and asked tentatively, "Uncomfortable?"

Not knowing what he was referring to when he said uncomfortable, Gu Shi'an responded vaguely.

Chen Xiao outside coughed and said, "Stay still, I'll be back after I go out for a while."

He didn't wait for Gu Shi'an to speak after he finished speaking, and the footsteps went outside.Soon there was the sound of closing the door.

He came back only ten minutes after he went out, knocked on the door outside, and pushed in the tissue he bought through the crack in the door.

The one he bought was indeed what Gu Shi'an wanted to use, her face was burning hot, and she dawdled over to pick it up.At the same time, he was relieved.

She originally thought that Chen Xiao had left long ago, but when she opened the door, he was standing outside.Gu Shi'an's face was hot, he didn't look at her, turned off the light in the bathroom, and walked into the living room with his head buried.

Chen Xiao followed behind her and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

He didn't mean to make fun of anything, but Gu Shi'an's face was even hotter, he replied vaguely that it's okay, and fled to the bedroom.

Stomach upset, she couldn't sleep, curled up and closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was suddenly opened.At this time, the people who came in would only kill Chen Xiao, she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

Chen Xiao quickly walked to the side of the bed, as if he knew she was not asleep, coughed and said: "I boiled poached eggs with brown sugar, wake up and eat before going to sleep." After a slight pause, he continued: " It won't hurt your stomach after eating."

I don't know who told him that eating eggs poached with brown sugar won't hurt his stomach anymore.

Gu Shi'an didn't move, still closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

She pretended not to hear, and Chen Xiao didn't leave, just standing by the bed.He kept looking at where Gu Shi'an could lie down, and got up silently.

Chen Xiao handed over the porcelain bowl in his hand.

What he cooked was brown sugar poached eggs. Although the eggs were not completely turned into egg drops, the eggs were broken and cracked.Seeing Gu Shi'an looking at the eggs in the bowl, he was somewhat uncomfortable, coughed dryly, and said, "Although it's broken, the effect is the same."

Gu Shi'an didn't make a sound, took the egg and ate it.Her stomach often hurts during menstruation. When the pain is severe, her face turns pale, and she just nests in one place and doesn't want to get up again.It's not that Chen Xiao doesn't know, but memory, this is the first time he's made him something to eat.

She was slightly dazed.

Chen Xiao didn't notice anything unusual about her, and soon went out again.When he came in again, he dug out a warm baby out of nowhere, put it directly under the quilt, and said, "Hold on, it will be fine in a while."

He was someone who never asked about these things before, but now he is very considerate.This thoughtful Gu Shi'an was not used to it, so he said thank you in a low voice.

Chen Xiao took the bowls and chopsticks from her hand, but didn't straighten up immediately, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you very moved?"

He has the ability to change the atmosphere in a minute, and the smile on his face is not so good.

Gu Shi'an tried his best to put on a nonchalant look, and said, "I'm very touched, thank you."

There was no sincerity in her words.

Chen Xiao didn't mind either. He gave a low laugh and went out with the bowls and chopsticks.

I don't know if it's because of the warm baby or because I drank the brown sugar water, but the pain seems to be relieved a bit.

Gu Shi'an didn't lie down either, just sat there.After sitting for a while, she was about to turn off the light when she saw Chen Xiao walking in with a notebook and a small table.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he wanted to do, so he looked at him.

Chen Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and said, "I just ate something, don't rush to sleep, and be careful of food accumulation. There is a new movie released recently, and I found one to watch together."

As he spoke, he put the small table on the bed and turned on the computer.Gu Shi'an couldn't sleep at first, and didn't make a sound.

Chen Xiao quickly put on the movie, and as soon as Gu Shian's gaze stayed on the screen, he sat down on the bed by himself.

Gu Shi'an never thought that he would go to bed, so he looked sideways at him.Chen Xiao acted nonchalantly, and said: "It's better to lean on the bed." He said with a low laugh, and then said: "Besides, I can't do anything with you like this."

He looked innocent.

He had a very thick skin, Gu Shi'an endured and endured, and ignored him.Chen Xiao looked like he was really serious about watching the movie, and he didn't move around, his eyes stayed on the screen all the time.

He didn't choose movies completely according to his own taste, this time he chose a suspenseful and funny costume drama.

It's not a pure spoof like ordinary comedy dramas, and the logic is very clear.Gu Shi'an sank in as he watched.

The attention is diverted, and if you don't move your stomach, you will hardly feel any pain.The movie was a bit long, and she didn't even know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Chen Xiao was lying on the bed with one hand on her stomach.

He didn't know if he woke up early or what, when Gu Shi'an opened his eyes, he also opened them.

With a frank look, he gave a low laugh and said in a hoarse voice, "Good morning, daughter-in-law."

Probably because he was afraid of being kicked out of the bed, he yawned and left lazily without waiting for Gu Shian to reply after saying this.It's like it's really just watching a movie late, and I'm staying here for a bowl of food.

There still seemed to be the warmth of his dry and warm palms on his waist.Gu Shi'an kept a dark face and did not speak.

Today is the weekend, no work.She didn't have many clothes left here, so she had to go back to the old house to get them.

The weather outside was gloomy, and before she went out, it began to drizzle outside.When menstruation came, she didn't want to move at first, but now she gave up the idea of ​​going out.

On the other hand, Chen Xiao, who was planning to rest for a whole day, answered the phone temporarily, asked her if she needed to bring anything back, and then went out.

Gu Shi'an made food by himself, and then logged into Chen Xiao's mailbox through Chen Xiao's computer.It had been a long time since she logged into her mailbox, but there were several new documents in it.Mostly thought she was still working in the original company, said that a relative was doing renovations, and asked her for some details.

Gu Shi'an answered one by one, and replied that he had resigned.

After turning off the computer, she felt a little empty.Leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed, she thought of that strange portrait again.

It is undoubtedly the fastest way to hang this portrait in the Gu family.But this is totally unacceptable.

Her head hurt a little, she reached out and rubbed the center of her eyebrows.At this moment, his mind suddenly thought of the people Qin Tang arranged in the Gu family.

She pursed her lips, looked at the time, took out her mobile phone, and called the man.

The two of them just met in a hurry in Gu's. The man was polite, and he called Miss Gu when he answered the phone.

Gu Shi'an greeted him and asked if he was free, she wanted to meet him.

Now the person over there said: "You can just talk on the phone if you have anything to do. I'm on a business trip now." Although the two met in Gu's, Gu Shi'an didn't know his position in Gu's .

As if he was afraid that she would not believe it, the man immediately said, "I'm here in City D."

Gu Shi'an nodded at this moment, fell silent for a while, and asked, "How long have you been in Gu's? Do you remember those who left the company before?"

The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, and said: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I spend most of my time on business trips, so I'm not very familiar with the people in the company. I can. Are you looking for someone?"

he asked tentatively.

Gu Shi'an didn't bend the corners, and answered yes.Said: "I have a portrait here, help me see if this person worked in the Gu family before."

The person on the other end of the phone said hello and said, "You took a photo and sent it to me directly. It's just that I can't check it out of the city now. I'll check it when I come back next Monday."

Gu Shian just said thank you.After a pause, he said, "It's just a guess that the person should be in Gu's. If you can't find it, don't force it. Try not to let people know."

The man said yes, reassuring her.No one will know.

He didn't say much after he finished speaking, saying that he would tell Gu Shi'an immediately if he had any news, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an sat blankly on the sofa for a while, then shifted his gaze to the TV.

Chen Xiao didn't know why he went there, and he never came back after he went out.Gu Shi'an had no appetite and didn't want to move, and he didn't go to get something to eat at noon.Just lay on the sofa.

She was absent-minded and in a trance, and she didn't even know what was on the TV.

Gu Shi'an received a call from the old lady in the afternoon, saying that she and Chen Xiao would go back to have dinner together tomorrow.

After all, she hadn't seen the old lady for so long.But because of joining Gu's, she felt guilty.After asking the old lady a few words in a roundabout way, seeing that the old lady didn't mention her joining the Gu family, she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She had no intention of calling Chen Xiao over. Originally, she wanted to tell the old lady that something was wrong with Chen Xiao, but now it would obviously arouse suspicion.She vaguely told the old lady that she didn't know Chen Xiao's itinerary, but she would definitely go back tomorrow.

The old lady didn't say anything, but smiled and said hello.

She had no plan to bring Chen Xiao there, and Chen Xiao never mentioned it when he went back.Who knew that during dinner at night, Chen Xiao said slowly: "Grandma called me today and asked us to go back to have dinner together tomorrow."

The old lady actually called him, Gu Shi'an was a little depressed, and gave a muffled hum.

She didn't mention it until now, obviously she didn't want him to go. Chen Xiao is a smart person, so he can tell it.He just raised his eyebrows and didn't mention anything.

Because they were going to the old lady's side, the two got up as early as usual.It was early and the old lady was still resting, and the two of them went there after breakfast.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that the old lady just asked her and Chen Xiao to have dinner alone.But when they arrived, they realized that it wasn't just them that the old lady had called, but everyone from the Gu family had arrived.

Gu Shi'an had some bad premonitions, and immediately looked sideways at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao signaled her to be calm, and greeted her uncles one by one with a smile.

Seeing Chen Xiao and Gu Shi'an coming back together, everyone was more or less surprised.But no one said anything, and greeted Chen Xiao with a smile on his face.It was Gu Su who gave Gu Shi'an a meaningful look.

Gu Shi'an's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he didn't care about her.

The old lady stayed in the room until Gu Shi'an and Chen Xiao came over, and then she came out of the room.

Everyone stood up to say hello, but the old lady's face was almost the same as usual, so everyone sat down.

Everyone came here together, and I don't know whether the old lady sent someone to come here, or they came here by themselves.

Everyone was there, Gu Shi'an didn't have the right to be filial in front of the old lady.Her second aunt greeted the old lady as soon as she sat down, gave the old lady a hammer on her back, and said: "Mom, you have lived here for so long, and it is deserted here, not as lively as the old house. Don't I’m already living here, Chengde has long been talking about taking you back.”

As she spoke, she winked at Gu Chengde.

The couple cooperated very well, Gu Chengde couldn't understand what she meant, and said quickly and courteously: "Yes, you will go back with us today. We are not used to you not being here."
