Confess to you, do you want to listen?

Chapter 52 I'm Your Man, Call Me If You Need Anything
The rare expression on his face was not gloomy at all, and he didn't stubbornly ask Gu Shi'an to go over, but asked, "Why didn't he call me when he came over?"

The relationship between him and Chen Zhengkang had already deteriorated, and he didn't even say hello when they met, let alone bring it up.

Gu Shi'an didn't expect him to ask this, so he was taken aback for a moment.

Chen Xiao didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "Gu Shi'an, you have to remember that I am your man, so please call me in the future if you need anything."

He stood by the window, took out a cigarette and lit it as he spoke, a little lazy.

Gu Shi'an was in a daze.Suddenly, he remembered Li Ran who met at the hospital gate, and Hualai in Chen Xiao's ward.

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he ignored her and went directly to the study.

Gu Shi'an sat in the living room for a long time before going to wash up.

Lying on the bed, her mind was blank, and it took her a long time to force herself to close her eyes.

Chen Xiao's company has been busy recently, and he went on a business trip the next day.Gu Shi'an remembered what Luo Ju said, and finally called Chen Xiao's assistant.Ask him to pay attention to Chen Xiao's diet, and remind him to go to the hospital for examination.

Her tone was polite, Chen Xiao had never mentioned it before.The assistant was very respectful to the proprietress who appeared out of nowhere.But Chen Xiao's temper, he can't control what he does or doesn't do.But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

Gu Shi'an was still busy, Chen Xiao wasn't here, so she didn't have to cook, so she had to work overtime several times in a row.

Luo Yun has been in the limelight in the company recently, and she was always praised in public during several routine meetings, asking everyone to learn from her.

She is quite good, and after Mr. Yang's contract expired, he won two big orders again.Tingqu generally meant to give her a promotion at the end of the year.

Some people are envious of her promotion, and some are jealous.

She has never kept a low profile since she won the contract with Mr. Yang, but she is very good at wooing people. She often invites colleagues in the company to have afternoon tea or give some small gifts.

She pretends to be generous to others, but she is very harsh to Shu Min.When Xiao Wang went to make coffee twice in a row, he saw Shu Min's eyes were red.After asking, I found out that Luo Yun was scolded by her for not making the coffee to suit Luo Yun's wishes.Before this position was promoted, her leadership spectrum began to be laid out.

Xiao Wang was aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about it.Shu Min is a newcomer, and the internship period has not yet passed, so it is not easy to transfer departments.There are only a few words of comfort to Xiao Wang in private.

Luo Yun was in the limelight, and when she saw Gu Shi'an in the past, she would always call Senior Sister Gu with a smile.Although I am still smiling now, I always feel that there is something wrong.

Although Gu Shi'an's face was the same as before, he reminded Xiao Wang in private.Seeing Luo Yun, stay away.

She always felt that Luo Yun would definitely find fault.She is in the limelight now, if something really happens, even if she is justified, she won't be able to take advantage of Mr. Qu.

On Friday afternoon, Qin Tang called.Gu Shi'an looked at the number on the phone screen, picked it up bravely, and called Mr. Qin embarrassingly.

In fact, she had been thinking about calling Qin Tang, but she couldn't muster up the courage.He didn't even know how to tell Qin Tang that the book he borrowed from her had been burned by Chen Xiao.

Qin Tang on the other end of the phone didn't notice anything wrong with her, he hummed lightly, and asked, "How is the book?"

It was hard for Gu Shi'an to say anything about it, and in the end he hesitated and said, "I lost your book."

She is ashamed, and she can't say such words.Qin Tang took so many notes in that book, one can imagine the painstaking effort.

Originally thought that Qin Tang would ask something, but he didn't ask anything.After saying something like throwing it away, I lost it, paused, and asked again: "Are you free tonight?"

Gu Shi'an looked at the time, and quickly said: "Yes, I invite you to dinner and apologize to you."

Qin Tang on the other end of the phone twitched his lips slightly, and said, "Come out when you have time, change into a little more formal clothes, and I'll show you a few people."

Gu Shi'an didn't react for a while, so he just let out an ah.

Qin Tang said patiently on the phone: "A few friends in the mall, there is no harm in meeting." His tone was understated.

Although Gu Shi'an didn't know his intention of bringing her to meet people, but he deliberately mentioned it, obviously it would only benefit her.She complied and asked Qin Tang where to meet.

Qin Tang said lightly to let her wait in her company, and he would send someone to pick her up.

Gu Shi'an was afraid of delaying him, and originally wanted to say that he had gone, but Qin Tang had already hung up the phone.

It's not long before get off work time, but fortunately, Gu Shi'an has prepared a formal suit at the company, so he doesn't need to go back to change.

She quickly finished the work at hand and waited for Qin Tang to come over.

Qin Tang came here just after get off work, and Gu Shi'an was already waiting in the parking lot.At first, she thought that only the driver came to pick her up, but when she opened the door, she saw Qin Tang sitting inside.

Qin Tang was resting with his eyes closed, Gu Shi'an saw that he was a little uncomfortable, rubbed his nose and screamed Mr. Qin.

Qin Tang nodded lightly and said, "Get in the car."

Gu Shi'an hurriedly got into the car and closed the door.

The car quickly drove out of the parking lot. Qin Tang took out a box of pastries from nowhere and handed them to her, saying: "Eat something first, it's too late to eat now. After the dinner party is over Let's go eat again."

Gu Shi'an knew about the dinner, where he could eat, most of the time he was drinking.

Gu Shi'an responded with a good sentence, took the pastry handed over by Qin Tang, opened it, then handed it to him, and said, "You have a piece too."

Qin Tang closed his eyes without even lifting his eyelids, and said flatly, "I don't eat sweets."

He didn't speak after finishing speaking, and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Then this pastry was specially prepared for her, Gu Shi'an was slightly taken aback, and then said thank you seriously.

Qin Tang didn't speak.

The car was quiet along the way, and when the car stopped, Qin Tang opened his eyes.The driver opened the door and got out of the car.

He didn't speak, and Gu Shi'an quietly followed behind him.The two went upstairs all the way, and when they opened the door of the private room, there were already people sitting inside, and they were the last ones to get in.

As soon as Qin Tang got inside, he warmed up, and he didn't specifically introduce Gu Shi'an's identity. When others asked, he said lightly that he was the daughter of his mentor, and brought her out to see the world.

He has always been deserted, and bringing someone out is enough to surprise the people present.When the toast began, he stopped all the wine respected by Gu Shian.On the grounds that she has a low capacity for alcohol, he drank it for her.

All the people present here are human beings, and later, someone gave Gu Shi'an juice.

Qin Tang drank a lot of wine, and his assistant stepped up behind him.It was past ten o'clock when the dinner was over, but Qin Tang didn't seem to be drunk at all.He didn't let anyone follow him, he took Gu Shian out of the hotel, checked the time, and then asked, "What do you want to eat?"

He blocked Gu Shi'an's drink for her, she had eaten something.But he hardly ate anything.

The people I met today were all people that Gu Shi'an would never have dreamed of seeing.When Qin Tang brought her out, he was undoubtedly expanding her contacts.She is grateful.

She just said that you can eat whatever you like, and then she said: "Why don't you find a place to sit and wait for me, I'll see if there is something to eat nearby, and I'll bring it to you."

Qin Tang drank a lot of wine, and he was fine on the surface, but it didn't mean he was really fine.

Qin Tang didn't refuse, just nodded and said yes.

He was quite straightforward this time, Gu Shi'an let him sit on the side of the road, and then asked: "What do you want to eat?"

Qin Tang didn't answer this time, he didn't know what came to his mind, and said, "Just porridge will do."

There was a 24-hour porridge shop across the road, and he was probably afraid that Gu Shi'an would run away.

Gu Shi'an agreed now, told him to wait, and hurried to the porridge shop opposite.

Her figure was slender and thin, Qin Tang looked at it, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Gu Shi'an came back soon, because her hair was blown a little messy because of running so fast.There is also fine sweat on the forehead.

She brought two bowls of porridge, side dishes prepared in the porridge, and a bowl of hangover soup.

She took the newspapers she found from the store and spread the chairs on, put down the porridge and side dishes, and said: "Drink some hangover soup first and then the porridge. The side dishes made by the proprietress are very appetizing. Eat them warm tomorrow." It won't hurt your stomach."

Her face is serious.

Qin Tang nodded, took the hangover soup she denied and slowly drank it.

The spoon she brought over was a disposable plastic spoon, and Qin Tang was not used to it.After taking two sips, I stopped and continued to drink.

When he was drinking, Gu Shi'an put some side dishes into his porridge, and handed them to him when he was almost done drinking, saying, "Taste it first, and put it in if you're still used to it."

The porridge was warm in his hand. As Gu Shian said, the side dishes made by the proprietress are appetizers. Qin Tang had no appetite at first, but now he started to eat slowly.

Gu Shi'an was obviously not full, and when he saw him eating, he picked up the porridge and started eating slowly.She didn't know what she thought of. After eating for a while, she suddenly smiled slightly, looked at the porridge in the bowl, and said, "Drinking a bowl of porridge in the morning in cold weather will keep your stomach warm all day long. My mother In the past, every winter, my favorite thing was to cook porridge for me. I ate it in the morning and at night, and I never got tired of eating it. Her craftsmanship is better than that of the proprietress, and I can eat such a big bowl of shrimp porridge."

She compared her hands while serving the porridge.

Qin Tang paused.Gu Shi'an didn't say anything more, after staying for a while, he continued to eat the porridge seriously.

Qin Tang looked at her side face under the street lamp, didn't move for a while, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything after all.

The temperature outside was a little low in the middle of the night, but Gu Shi'an was sweating a little.Originally thought porridge might not suit Qin Tang's appetite, but he ate it cleanly.

It was getting late, he called the driver and asked him to drive over, and then walked slowly with Gu Shian to digest food.

He didn't mention the book anymore, instead he casually talked about the people at the dinner.His tone is light, like an outsider.

The driver drove over quickly, and he didn't step forward. The car just drove slowly. It wasn't until Qin Tang in front stopped that he drove the car over, got out and opened the door.

In the car, Qin Tang was probably drunk, and he didn't speak any more.Just like when I came here, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Gu Shi'an stayed quietly, waiting to get to the ground, she was going to get out of the car quietly.Who knew Qin Tang opened his eyes as soon as he opened the car door.

He reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, raised his wrist to check the time, and said to the driver in front, "Send Miss Gu up."

It's late now, and the parking lot is quiet.

Gu Shi'an hurriedly said no, Qin Tang rested his hand on the center of his brow and did not speak.

The driver naturally wouldn't listen to Gu Shi'an, closed the car door gently, and said Miss Gu to Gu Shi'an.

Gu Shi'an couldn't refuse, so he had to go upstairs with the driver.

The driver was dutiful. He watched her open the door before going back.

The house was empty, Gu Shi'an entered the door, but did not move forward.She naturally knew that most of Qin Tang's care for her came from her father.

As for many things about her father, she actually wanted to ask.The words came to his lips, but he was still unable to speak.

She didn't even know what kind of relationship between her father and Qin Tang made him take care of her like that?She was not young when her father passed away, but she didn't have the slightest impression of Qin Tang.

Gu Shi'an leaned against the door for a long time before going to the bathroom to take a shower.Her mind was in a mess, and after lying on the bed for a long time, she fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, while Gu Shian was still in bed, he received a call from Chang Qi.Said to let her not forget the past at night.

Gu Shian complied.After answering Chang'an's phone call, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, and after getting up, she washed and cleaned the house.

After doing the cleaning, she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then called Chen Xiao, originally intending to ask when he would come back.But it was not Chen Xiao who answered the phone, but his assistant.

Gu Shi'an didn't ask anymore, and hung up the phone after a few polite words.

It took Chen Xiao a long time to call back, and he said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you calling?"

He was still busy, and there was still someone talking on the other end of the phone.

Gu Shi'an immediately asked, "When will you be back?"

Chen Xiao smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "Why, daughter-in-law, do you miss me? But I may not be able to come back today, and there are some things that have not been dealt with yet."

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to talk about Chang'an's invitation to dinner, but he stopped talking now, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Have you gone to the hospital for a re-examination?"

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you worried about me?" He probably walked to a remote place, where there were no more voices.Tsk clicked, then laughed again, and said, "Looks like I'll have to work harder in the future, women, you don't know how much you love your man until you're comfortable in bed."

He never said anything right.While speaking, he lit a cigarette and smoked, regained some seriousness, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, is there something wrong?"

Gu Shi'an's face was still hot because of his last sentence, but now he said nothing.She was going to hang up the phone, but before she hung up, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked again: "Did someone trouble you these few days?"

Gu Shi'an didn't realize who he was talking about for a while, but realized after a while that he was talking about Chen Zhengkang, so he shook his head, thinking that he couldn't see, and said again: "No."

She remembered what Chen Zhengkang said that day, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Did you do something?"

Chen Xiao was so lazy on the other end of the phone, and said, "This is between me and him, daughter-in-law, just leave it alone."

He was probably in a good mood. If anyone mentioned Chen Zhengkang in the past, his face would immediately darken.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak anymore.Wouldn't it be said that the grievances between the two of them were already deep, and if Chen Xiao was easy to deal with a person like Chen Zhengkang, I'm afraid there would be no peace long ago.

Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone didn't speak either. After a while, it seemed that someone was calling him, so he just said "wife hang up", and then hung up the phone directly.

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to go back to see his grandma, but after making a phone call, he found out that the old lady had gone out for tea with a few old friends.Her second aunt probably invited Ma You to play at home, and there was a lot of noise over there.Gu Shi'an just passed away.I asked the old lady about her physical condition before hanging up the phone.

She was fine, so she went out early to go to work there.The place where I often work is relatively remote, in a small alley.Gu Shi'an took some effort to find it.

Chang was still busy when she went, so he hurriedly greeted her when she came out and asked her to serve her some refreshments before continuing to work.

Gu Shi'an sat alone, ate a plate of pastries, and drank half a pot of tea before Chang Xi came out.

She was still wearing a chef uniform, Gu Shian poured her a cup of tea, she drank it before asking: "Why are you here so early?"

Gu Shi'an just smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm fine, come and see where you work."

A slight smile appeared on Chang's face, and he said seriously, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

It is indeed very good, although the place is remote, but the environment is quiet.People are not complicated, what should be done is the business of repeat customers.

Gu Shi'an nodded vigorously and said something very good.

The smile on Chang's face deepened, and he said again: "I'll cook you a special dish later. I didn't have all the things at home before, and the ingredients were not good enough to use it."

Gu Shi'an stuck out his tongue right now, and said with great regret, "I should have known that I shouldn't have eaten cakes and drank tea just now."

But no, my stomach is half full.

Chang Li laughed amused by her, and said, "It's still early, you can go out to digest food."

Gu Shi'an agreed with a smile, looked around, and asked, "Aren't you busy now?"

Chang Yu nodded, looked at the time, and said, "You can rest for another 10 minutes."

There are not many people here, not very tired.It's just that the boss has always been striving for excellence in the dishes, so he needs to put more thought into it.

Gu Shi'an nodded, she thought of the store in Chang'an, and asked: "You are here, is the store closed?"

Chang Li smiled lightly and said, "You know, it's too late. In fact, it should have been shut down a long time ago."

It's just that she has been reluctant.That's why it's so hard to keep it open.All these years, she is tired.But that store is always a thought.Only then did it last.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, and looked down at the tea in the cup.Although Chang'an's tone was understated, she knew that she must be reluctant.It's just that I have to give up because of livelihood.

As she said, if she was willing, she would have closed the door long ago.If you don't make ends meet, you have to hold on like that.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and after a while, Chang Chen asked: "Last time you left in a hurry this morning, are you okay?"

Gu Shi'an smiled and said it's all right.

After all, she didn't want to linger on this topic, so she asked, "How is the little tiger?"

"He is recovering very well. The doctor said that he can be discharged from the hospital in a few days and go back to recuperate. Just go back for a review according to the time."

After such a major operation, in fact, he should not have been discharged so early.Knowing their situation, the doctor made such a decision.It is also thanks to Xiao Huzi's good health and quick recovery.

Chang Xie sat for a while and then went back to work. Gu Shian came here a little early and drank a lot of tea. She went to the bathroom, and she must have been busy for a while before going out for a stroll.

In fact, she was relieved to see Chang Li working here. From what she said, she should be quite satisfied with the salary offered here.In this way, she will not go back to those places again.

There were people coming and going in the alley, for some reason, Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Chang Ji.

She just stood there in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses until the phone rang.

Taking out his mobile phone, the call was actually from Chen Xiao.She paused slightly before answering the phone.

As soon as he was fed, Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone asked lazily, "Daughter-in-law, where are you?"

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he meant by asking this, but he still returned to where he was now.

Chen Xiao said oh and hung up the phone.Gu Shi'an was so inexplicable that when he went back after walking around, he saw Chen Xiao standing at the entrance of the alley with a cigarette lit.

He smiled smugly, and when he saw Gu Shi'an, he curled his lips and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, isn't it a pleasant surprise?"

Gu Shi'an didn't answer, glanced at him, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you have something to do?" Why did you come back suddenly?
Chen Xiao dusted off the cigarette ash in his hands, still smiling, and said, "The world is not as big as my wife. My wife thinks I have to come back."

He was as serious as he could be.As he said that, he took another step forward, and whispered into Gu Shian's ear, and said very ambiguously: "Daughter-in-law, if you didn't miss me so much, you wouldn't call me, would you?"
