Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 50 Tired

Her wrist was reddened by Chen Xiao's pinch, she didn't seem to feel any pain, and she didn't struggle.

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy, and he ignored her.He just stopped her from passing and waited for the book to be burned to ashes before throwing away her hand.

But he had never seen Gu Shi'an like this before. In his impression, no matter what time she was, she always looked stubborn and silent.

No matter whether she was teased by him or put on pigeons by him before, she was always silent, and it won't be long before she will appear cheeky again.

The book was completely burned, and Chen Xiao's anger disappeared at the moment.He glanced at the smoking ashes, hooked his lips, put his arms around Gu Shian, and said with a playful smile: "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, it's easy to grow old when angry. Isn't it just a book? If you want me Someone will bring it to you right away."

His tone was understated, obviously he didn't take this matter seriously.

Gu Shian took a step back and separated his hands.She was not surprised at all when he said these words, she quickly calmed down and said, "I want to be quiet."

Her tone was also calm.

Chen Xiao's hand froze in the air, and he quickly retracted it.After sweeping a glance at the pile of smoking ashes, he said gloomily, "Are you really serious?"

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, nor looked at him.Overwhelmed by unprecedented fatigue, she exited the bathroom step by step.

She was still calm after all, it was cold outside, so she took the coat from the door before going out.

The door was closed quickly, but Chen Xiao did not come out.

Gu Shi'an was so tired that she went downstairs, only to find that she had nowhere to go.She sat in the community for a long time, and then slowly left the community.

It was past ten o'clock, and she stood on the side of the road for a while.Then get on the last bus.Went to the place where Chang lived.

Chang Yan always sleeps late, and probably hasn't come back yet.The narrow front door was closed, and there was no light inside.

Gu Shi'an didn't knock on the door either, and sat down at the door.It was a bit cold to sit there, so she got up and went to the canteen not far away to buy a bottle of Erguotou.

After drinking it in one sip, the stomach is burning hot.But the cold in the middle of the night couldn't be dispelled, she was completely icy from head to toe.

Mostly because she didn't have any expectations, she was as calm as usual.Except for the piercing pain in an unknown place.

She stared blankly at the street lamp, and drank the wine slowly.After a long time, Chen Xiao's words came to mind again.

No, she has been stalking her for so long, and he is willing to be with her.She really should be satisfied and grateful.The corner of her mouth curled into self-mockery, and she took another big sip, leaning crookedly against the door.

Gu Shian had already drunk half of the bottle of Erguotou when Chang Yu came back, and she was already drunk, leaning against the door panel and dozing off.

Chang Cheng stepped forward and helped her up.She opened her misty eyes, smiled at her, and said inarticulately, "I'm back... I'm here."

Chang Yu knew that she would not drink easily, but Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, she helped her to the bed and she fell asleep drowsily.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next day, she still hadn't gotten up, so she went to wash up lightly, and then went out quietly.

The alley was foggy in the early morning, and she stood at the entrance of the alley for a while before going to the station.She didn't return all night, and there was no message or any missed calls on her mobile phone.

She calmly ate a deep-fried dough stick at the deep-fried dough stick stand, drank a cup of soy milk, and then took the car to the company.

Probably because of the alcohol, her complexion was not good.Xiao Wang asked her if she was not feeling well, she shook her head, saying that she might have a cold.

She was unusually silent all morning. At noon, Mr. Qu came over to ask if there was an exchange meeting in City C, and asked if anyone would like to go.I just received the news that I have to leave immediately.

The company's business trip subsidies have always been small, let alone temporary business trips.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Gu Shi'an was the first and only one to stand up.

In the end, she went with Manager Dou, the plane was just after two o'clock, and it lasted three days, and there was no time to pack her luggage.

The way to the airport was in a hurry. Manager Dou was a smart person. Seeing Gu Shi'an's complexion, he asked, "What's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"

She has a good relationship with Peng Xue, and treats Gu Shi'an like a junior.

Gu Shi'an squeezed out a smile, rubbed his nose, and said, "I have a little cold."

She said that she had a bit of a cold, probably because she caught cold on the way, and she really sneezed and coughed after getting off the plane.

Manager Dou originally wanted to send her to the hospital, but she refused on the grounds that she had a cold and didn't need to make such a fuss.In the end just went to the drugstore for medicine.

The hotel was booked in advance by the company, and Gu Shian's room was next to Manager Dou's room.The exchange meeting is tomorrow, but Qu has always arranged tasks, and the people who should be met can be met in advance.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to go together, but Manager Dou said that she could go alone, let her rest well, and go to the hospital if she continues to feel bad.

Gu Shi'an was sleepy after taking the medicine, so he thanked Manager Dou.Waiting for her to leave, he collapsed on the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.

She fell into a deep sleep this time, until the door was knocked, and she woke up suddenly.

She got up and opened the door. Seeing her, Manager Dou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death. No one answered the phone. If I don't open the door again, I will ask someone to open the door."

Gu Shi'an slept soundly, and never heard the phone ring at all.Picking up the phone and seeing three missed calls from Manager Dou, he patted his head annoyed.

Dou Min laughed, looked at the time, and said, "Have you slept all afternoon and haven't eaten yet? I have someone make a small hot pot over there, let's eat together."

She is a superior, so things like going out together are obviously what Gu Shi'an should do.Her face turned red, and just as she was about to say something, Dou Min said, "Don't be polite to me."

As she spoke, she signaled Gu Shi'an to close the door and go to her room.Sure enough, there was a small pot in her room, which was steaming, dispelling the coldness of the cold night in the strange city.

There are stacks of vegetables and meat on the dining table, one can tell that Dou Min is a person who knows how to live.

She has always been deserted, Gu Shi'an was a little surprised.

Dou Min didn't notice it, and told her to sit down and start, don't be polite.

After taking the medicine, Gu Shi'an became dizzy, and even his sense of smell and taste became somewhat dull.I had no appetite at first, but I suddenly had an appetite looking at the steaming hot pot.

She was no longer polite, smiled and said thank you Manager Dou, and then sat down.

The two of them eating hot pot was a little deserted, and Dou Min didn't talk much, probably because she was afraid that Gu Shi'an would be restrained, so she put the dishes on her plate from time to time to let her eat more.

After eating half of the food, Gu Shi'an broke out in sweat.Dou Min poured her a glass of water, and said, "Don't go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, just take a good rest in the hotel, and just come out to relax."

What she said seemed to have seen something.Gu Shi'an's movements paused.

Dou Min took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, exhaled the smoke, but did not beat around the bush, looked at Gu Shi'an, and said, "Shi'an, girls have to be nice to themselves, don't spoil themselves. No matter what time you are, Be nice to yourself."

There was so much vicissitudes in her tone, Gu Shi'an tried to force a smile, but he couldn't.

Dou Min didn't know what she thought of, so she didn't speak for a moment.After a while, I came back to my senses and said: "Not everyone has the luck like Peng Xue, so whenever you love others, you must love yourself first. You don't love yourself, Who will love you?"

There was a hint of self-mockery in her tone.

Gu Shi'an wanted to say something, but couldn't find anything to say.

She had heard about Manager Dou to some extent.She is not from Lincheng, she was poached from other cities by Mr. Qu at a high price.

I heard that before she came to the company, she was a typical strong woman in the workplace.And working in a large company, it is quite reused.

At that time, she was in love.Her boyfriend didn't have a high family background, and he climbed up the company step by step relying on Manager Dou's relationship.

They gradually established a foundation, and originally thought that they would be able to get married soon.But before they got married, that one climbed to the top.

He is also a senior member of the company, probably because he is afraid of her being too entangled.The one who cooperated with Gao Zhi set up a trap for her and framed her.

No one knows the specifics of what happened, only that it caused a lot of losses to the company at that time.She took the blame and resigned.

Later, the matter was found out, and he knew that he was betrayed by someone who wanted to spend his whole life.She was disheartened because of this, and many companies offered olive branches because of her ability, but she didn't go either.Instead, he followed Mr. Qu to Lincheng.

Then stay for so many years.

Dou Min was obviously not in a good mood, took out the wine and poured it himself and drank it.She didn't need comfort, seeing that Gu Shi'an was almost done eating, he drove her back to the room, saying that she wanted to be alone.

Gu Shi'an was a little worried seeing her like that, but she said she was fine.Let Gu Shi'an go back to rest.

Gu Shi'an stood at her door for a while, and finally returned to the room.

Gu Shi'an's cold didn't get better, but it wasn't serious either.For the rest of the day, she followed Dou Min to the exchange meeting.

Dou Min acted as if nothing happened, and didn't mention what happened that night again.She is familiar with this place, and after the exchange meeting every day, she takes Gu Shi'an along the streets and alleys to find food.

It was a rare time to come out, and Gu Shian also bought a lot of local specialties and special items, planning to take them back as gifts.

Grandma Chen Xiao called on the third day she came to City C, and Gu Shi'an told her that she was in City C now and would not be going back this weekend.She came back from a business trip to see her.

The old lady responded with a smile, and told her to pay attention to safety and not to be too tired when she heard that she was on a business trip.She asked Gu Shian when she would be back, and she asked the driver to pick her up at the airport.

Gu Shi'an smiled and said no, she was with her colleagues.

The old lady didn't insist, but she still asked Gu Shi'an when she would come back.He said that if he came back, he would go back to the old house for dinner.She asked her aunt to prepare her favorite dishes.

Gu Shi'an's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled and said hello.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the lights outside the window and stood still for a while.

The old lady called, but Chen Xiao didn't even make a call.This is normal, Gu Shi'an was slightly in a trance.And so much relief.

It's really tiring to carry things that you can't afford all the time.

Gu Shi'an and Manager Dou returned to Lincheng on Tuesday afternoon, and it was already evening when they arrived.Although Gu Shi'an has a cold, but this exchange meeting has gained a lot.The two were talking all the way, and when they arrived at the exit of the airport, they saw Chen Xiao waiting at the exit with a large bouquet of fiery red roses in his arms.

The plaster cast on his hand has been removed, and there is no evidence of injury at all.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused slightly, not knowing why he appeared here.Being with Chen Xiao, what she learned the most is probably not to be sentimental.

She originally planned to avoid it, but who knew that Chen Xiao actually knew Dou Min.When he got closer, he actually said hello, "Manager Dou is back from a business trip?"

Dou Min nodded, looked at the rose in his hand, and said with a smile, "Master Chen is waiting for someone?"

Chen Xiao smiled and said yes.His eyes glanced over Gu Shi'an vaguely, curled his lips, and said, "I offended my wife, come here to apologize."

He kept the matter of Chen Xiao and Gu Shi'an's marriage a secret from the beginning, and Dou Min was a little surprised when he heard the word "wife".Then I thought of the young people nowadays, even if they are not married, their wives and daughters-in-law are screaming non-stop.

She just smiled and said jokingly: "I still can't see that Young Master Chen is still afraid of his wife."

Chen Xiao's eyes fell on Gu Shi'an 'inadvertently' again, and said with a slight smile: "My wife is gentle and virtuous, not scary at all."

His tone was very candid.

Dou Min laughed and said, "Young Master Chen, wait slowly, let's take a step first."

Chen Xiao nodded, but he didn't try to stop him, but his gaze fell on Gu Shi'an's face with some teasing.

When Chen Xiao and Dou Min were talking, Gu Shi'an was worried.

She was relieved when she heard Dou Min say to leave, but Chen Xiao's gaze made her feel like a glow.Even after walking a long distance, her body was still stiff.

Before she walked out of the airport hall, her cell phone vibrated.A text message came in.Now she knew it was from Chen Xiao without thinking about it.I don't know what he wants to do.

Gu Shi'an was afraid that he would do something in front of Manager Dou, so he took out his phone after all.

Sure enough, the text message was sent by Chen Xiao, with a very simple sentence: "Daughter-in-law, I know it's inconvenient for you. I won't go to Manager Dou to annoy you. I'll wait for you in the parking lot downstairs."

He specifically mentioned Manager Dou, which didn't seem to be well-intentioned no matter how you looked at it.

Gu Shi'an didn't say anything, and didn't look back.

The company sent a car to pick them up, but Gu Shi'an didn't get in the car, he squeezed out a smile and found an excuse to buy something to say goodbye to Dou Min.

Dou Min was surprised when she suddenly said that she wanted to buy something, but she didn't think too much about it, and told her to be careful when taking a taxi back, and let the driver go.

Gu Shi'an heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing the car go far away, he turned around and walked towards the parking lot.

Chen Xiao seemed to have figured out which entrance she would go down from, and had been waiting for a long time.Seeing her, he curled his lips and said lazily, "Daughter-in-law, am I still considerate?"

Gu Shi'an really didn't see any thoughtfulness in him.She was a little tired, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiao handed over the rose in his hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, it was all my fault that day. I'll kneel on the washboard to get it when I get home!"

He swears in his mouth, but there is no sincerity in his tone.

Gu Shi'an looked at the flower, feeling slightly dazed, then smiled lightly and said, "You are right, it was me who was wrong."

But no, from the beginning to the end, she was always wrong.

Chen Xiao still had that playful smile on his face, and he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her, and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. I've already bought you a new one for that book. If you don't believe me, go back and read it. I was too impulsive that day. , never again, really."

As he spoke, he stuffed Hua Qiang into Gu Shi'an's arms, lowered his voice and continued, "Daughter-in-law, can you show me some face in public? When you go back, you can vent your anger however you want. If you think I If it's not good, I'll change it!"

It was really conspicuous for the two of them standing at the entrance, and he was going to walk to the car with his arms around Gu Shi'an as he said that.

Gu Shi'an didn't move, just about to say something when her cell phone rang.She took out her phone.The call was from the old lady. When she was looking at it, Chen Xiao also leaned over her head, took a look, and said, "It's from grandma."

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, he picked up the phone and called grandma.

The old lady asked her if she got off the plane, and said that she had cooked a lot of dishes she liked, and asked her to go back to eat.

This was agreed a long time ago, and Gu Shian agreed.The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

The old lady quickly hung up the phone, but now Chen Xiao didn't talk about anything, took the suitcase from Gu Shian's hand, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'll come."

Gu Shi'an just said no.

Chen Xiao curled his lips, leaned closer to Gu Shian, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you feel sorry for my hand?"

He's pretty good at pretending to be pitiful.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak, and walked forward in silence.

After getting into the car, Chen Xiao said pitifully, "Daughter-in-law, during the few days you were away, I ate instant noodles and takeaways every day."

He acted as if nothing had happened.It seemed that Gu Shi'an was really just on a business trip.

Gu Shi'an was so tired, she wanted to say something, but in the end she closed her eyes and fell asleep without saying anything.

Chen Xiao was sensible at the moment, so he stopped talking.

The car stopped and stopped all the way, and it was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at the old house.The car quickly drove into the old house. When Chen Xiao got out of the car, he reached out and held Gu Shi'an's hand, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, the anger that has been scattered for the past few days should be relieved. Later Don't worry grandma."

After he finished speaking, the old lady came out, and Chen Xiao put Gu Shian's hand on her waist instead, and called grandma with a smile.

The old lady glared at her, reached out to hold Gu Shi'an's hand, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, Auntie has cooked a lot of dishes you like, and you've lost weight, you should eat more later."

There was something wrong with the atmosphere, Gu Shian responded with a smile on his lips, and turned his head to look at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao didn't meet her eyes, and went inside with her luggage.

The dinner was rich, and many of them were Gu Shian's favorite dishes.The old lady kept talking about Gu Shi'an's weight loss, and she kept holding vegetables for her.

Gu Shian's bowl was quickly filled to the brim.Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse, so he turned to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao picked up some of the sharp vegetables in Gu Shi'an's bowl, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, don't pick it up for her. My wife, I will take care of it myself."

The old lady glared at him now, then looked at Gu Shi'an, and asked kindly: "This sudden business trip, did this brat make you angry? Tell grandma, grandma will clean him up for you."

Gu Shi'an didn't know how the old lady knew about this, her movements froze slightly, then she smiled and said, "Grandma, no."

The old lady didn't believe this at all, and said: "Grandma will scold him in a while." The old lady served Gu Shi'an soup with her own hands and asked her to eat more.

Gu Shi'an wanted to explain that the business trip was temporary, but the old lady reached out and patted her hand, telling her to eat quickly.

Her eager explanation would also arouse the suspicion of the old lady, so Gu Shi'an had no choice but to swallow all the words.

After dinner, the old lady called Chen Xiao to the study.Gu Shi'an wanted to follow, but Aunt Ye stopped her, smiled slightly and said that she just got off the plane and was tired, so don't go back there.Let her go to wash and rest.

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to go upstairs.

I don't know how the old lady knew, but Gu Shi'an was worried, he didn't have the mind to take a bath, and kept walking up and down the room.

She wanted to go to the study, but she was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the old lady, so she didn't go after all.

It was half an hour after Chen Xiao came back, his expression was the same as usual.Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, lowered his voice and asked, "How did grandma know?"

Chen Xiao pulled the tie around his neck, glanced at her, curled his lips, and said, "Daughter-in-law, why are you nervous, isn't it normal for young couples to quarrel?"

He didn't mention how the old lady knew.

This tone is as if they are no different from those normal young couples.

Gu Shi'an remained silent.

Chen Xiao took a few steps forward, and when he reached Gu Shi'an, he approached her with a handsome face, and said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, you see, grandma has scolded me too. You've been distracted for a few days, so don't worry about it." Angry, huh?"

As he said, he lowered his head and was about to kiss Gu Shi'an, and wrapped his arms around her waist forcefully.

Gu Shi'an was about to struggle away immediately, so he let out a low muffled snort, and leaned his head on Gu Shi'an's shoulder.

Although the plaster cast on his hand was removed, he didn't lift that hand much that night.
