Chapter 63 Uneasy
Probably because of Chen Xiao's meaningful expression before leaving, Gu Shi'an was a little uneasy all day long.As for where she was uneasy, she couldn't tell herself.

After finally getting off work, Chen Xiao didn't call.

Gu Shi'an was about to go to the car when he received a call from the driver Chen Xiao.He said that Chen Xiao had something to do, and there was a traffic jam on the road. He was at the fork in the road, so he would come over immediately, and asked Gu Shi'an to wait.

Gu Shi'an had no choice but to stand at the intersection and wait, the wind and snow were a bit heavy, and it was icy cold on her face.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if there would be a bigger storm at any moment.Gu Shi'an just watched in a daze.Her mind was blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Traffic jams in snowy days are very serious. It usually takes only a few minutes to drive, and the driver is late after waiting for more than ten minutes.

Seeing Gu Shian, he was about to get out of the car and open the door for her. There was a traffic jam at the back, so Gu Shian opened the door and sat in without waiting for him to get out of the car.

The inside of the car was very warm, and the heat was blowing in, making Gu Shi'an's nose a little hard to breathe.

She carefully folded the umbrella and put it by her feet, and then asked: "Have you, Mr. Chen, gone back?"

The driver showed a bit of unease on his face, scratched the back of his head, and said, "This... I don't know, Mr. Chen won't tell me where he is going."

No, where did Chen Xiao go, how would the people below know.

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, her icy hands and feet in the radiator quickly warmed up, a little itchy.

There was heavy snow, and the cars on the road were slowing down most of the time.From time to time, there were anxious horns in the traffic.

Gu Shi'an kept his mind blank and looked out the window.

This year's snow fell a little early, last year it was around the end of the year.This year is expected to be another cold winter.

There are traffic reports on the traffic radio, and almost the whole city is congested.Gu Shi'an looked at the time, feeling a little anxious for no reason.

She looked down at the time from time to time, and the driver in front also noticed it, and asked tentatively, "Madam, are you in a hurry to go back?"

Gu Shian's anxiety came inexplicably, she nodded, shook her head again, and said no.

The car drove through the intersection in the city center and was finally able to drive smoothly.If so, it was past eight o'clock when we returned to the old house.

Ye Qing saw Gu Shi'an entered the room feeling cold, and hurriedly said: "It's cold, isn't it? Go change your clothes and come down to eat. There's soup in the kitchen, drink more later."

The old lady was not there, so Gu Shi'an looked in the direction of her bedroom and said, "Has grandma eaten?"

Ye Qing nodded, and said softly: "I already ate, I didn't rest at noon, I ate early and went to bed." When she said this, she saw Gu Shian's clothes stained with water, and said, "Why is the driver I won't send you in either, the clothes are all wet. Go upstairs and change, and I'll serve you a meal."

Gu Shi'an went upstairs under Ye Qing's urging, and quickly changed his clothes and came down.

When we arrived at the restaurant, there were steaming hot meals on the table, including chicken soup with medicinal herbs, braised pork with sweet and sour fish, and a plate of stir-fried green vegetables.

Ye Qing filled Gu Shian with rice and half a bowl of soup.Gu Shi'an picked it up and said, "Don't be too busy, I'll do it myself."

Ye Qing just smiled, and sat down on the chair next to her.After a pause, she said, "My wife is back today, and she's upstairs. Don't make too much noise when you go upstairs later."

Qi Shiyun seldom came back, Gu Shi'an paused when he heard this, then smiled, nodded and said yes.

This meal was specially reserved for her. Gu Shian hesitated for a while after eating half of it, and asked, "Has Chen Xiao eaten too?"

Hearing her question about Chen Xiaolai, Aunt Ye's face was full of smiles, and she said, "Didn't he tell you? He will come back later today, let's eat first, and there is no need to save food for him."

During this time, he came home on time almost every day.Gu Shi'an originally thought that he had something to leave early and came back early.It never occurred to him that he hadn't come back yet.

She suddenly thought of Chen Xiao's meaningful smile this morning.Her vest was cold.Suddenly, he remembered what he said last night that it is easy to tease him, so she will wait and see if she doesn't believe it.

Gu Shi'an's head was cold at this moment.

Chen Xiao has always been home on time, and he didn't come back today after talking about it last night.It seemed that he could imagine what he was going to do.

Gu Shi'an finally understood where his anxiety at that time came from.

But now, she couldn't let Aunt Ye find anything wrong with her.She tried her best to control herself as usual, but she ate a little faster.

Fortunately, these days she also acted in a lot of scenes, although she was already anxious, but Aunt Ye didn't see it.

She quickly finished her food, smiled reluctantly and found an excuse of being tired and went upstairs.

When she got upstairs, she immediately closed the door, took out her mobile phone and called Qin Tang.

The call was quickly connected, but Qin Tang didn't answer it.Gu Shi'an kept calling over and over again, but she couldn't calm down at all.Walking around the house anxiously.

Qin Tang made three phone calls in a row but didn't answer, Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still anymore.Get dressed immediately and go out.

It was only when she opened the door that she realized that this was an old house, and she would definitely alarm the old lady if she went out like that.She retreated into the house again.

The time was agonizing and long. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Aunt Ye finished cleaning the kitchen, turned off the light in the living room and returned to the room. Then she went downstairs secretly and closed the door quietly.

Once outside, she shivered.She didn't stay long and hurried out of the yard.

Going out from the old house is not as convenient as going out from her and Chen Xiao's wedding room. In addition to the heavy snow, the cars on the road come and go in a hurry.

Finally, a few taxis passed by, but they were filled with people.Occasionally, I met someone with only one passenger on board. I stopped and asked Gu Shi'an where he was going, but he didn't go along the way and left again.

She stopped the car for about [-] minutes in the heavy snow before she got an empty car.The heater in the car was not warm, and she didn't bring an umbrella when she came out, and it was even colder after the snowflakes that fell on her body melted.Feet were numb from the cold.

She was in a hurry, took out her mobile phone to check the time, searched several pockets but couldn't find the mobile phone, and then remembered that she was busy out just now, so she didn't bring a mobile phone with her at all.

Unable to make a call, she could only urge the driver to hurry up.Although the road back to the city was not as congested as it was when she returned to the old house, she still had to slow down occasionally.

Gu Shi'an couldn't sit still, he looked out of the window from time to time and saw something.When she got to the place, she paid the money and got out of the car before the driver stabilized.

She has been to Qin Tang's residence twice, and she knows the way very well.The security guard has a good memory, and he remembered her after seeing her twice.I heard that she came to look for Qin Tang, asked her to register her ID card and let her go upstairs.

After getting on the elevator, Gu Shi'an kept staring at the numbers on the elevator, and walked out as soon as the elevator door opened.

She didn't bring a mobile phone, so she kept ringing the doorbell of Qin Tang's house when she couldn't make a call.

But as if against her, the door didn't open for a long time.

The corridor was empty, Gu Shi'an was in a daze at the moment, she didn't bring her mobile phone, and she didn't even know where to find Qin Tang.

She tried her best to calm herself down, but she was full of anxiety.She was devastated, knowing that waiting like that was not the answer, but she didn't know where to go.

Just when she was at a loss, the door was opened.

Gu Shi'an turned around almost immediately, and saw Qin Tang at a glance.He was wearing home clothes, his hair was wet, and he was probably taking a shower just now.

Gu Shi'an was relieved the moment she saw him, her nerves had been tense for too long, she immediately relaxed and shivered.Squeezing out a pale smile, he said with relief, "You are here."

She looked a bit embarrassed, and the short boots on her deep feet and shallow feet were already wet.The overcoat I was wearing outside was quite wet when I stood in the wind and snow and took a taxi.

Qin Tang frowned, and without asking why she was here, he quickly opened the door and said, "Come in."

It's almost eleven o'clock now, Gu Shi'an shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "No, you're fine at home. I'll go back first."

She said and turned to leave.

Qin Tang looked at her and repeated it lightly, "Come in."

His tone was completely commanding, and Gu Shi'an's figure froze, and he followed Qin Tang into the house after all.

Her shoes were wet, and she entered the room cautiously.Take off your shoes at the door.

Qin Tang signaled her to take off the same wet socks, then turned up the heating in the room higher, and took a towel for Gu Shian to wipe her wet hair.

After finishing all this, he poured Gu Shian a cup of hot water, and then went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.

Gu Shi'an's whole body was already frozen, and he drank a glass of water in one go, and his body became warmer.

She hesitated for a moment, walked to the door of the kitchen, and said, "Mr. Qin, it's getting late, I have to go back."

Qin Tang was cooking ginger soup, and when he heard this, he said calmly: "Someone has brought clothes here, you will catch a cold tonight if you go out like this. Drink the ginger soup later, and people will come over soon .”

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, and returned to the sofa to sit down after standing for a while.

Qin Tang moved quickly, and within a short while brought a cup of brown sugar ginger soup over, and placed it in front of Gu Shian.

Gu Shi'an didn't think that he would have to trouble him when he came here, so he said thank you in a low voice.

Qin Tang didn't ask her what she was doing here, but motioned her to drink while it was hot.

There was no sound in the living room for a while, Gu Shi'an wanted to say that Chen Xiao might trouble Qin Tang.But when the words came to the lips, it was hard to say.Finally, she said seriously: "You have to be careful recently, go out... don't leave people around you."

Qin Tang didn't know what Chen Xiao was capable of, but she did.

If he was just a pure white rabbit, Chen Zhengkang would have turned the world upside down long ago, and he wouldn't be so afraid of him.

As he himself said, he is considered a local snake in Lincheng.

When she was socializing, she once saw him and the tattooed gangster brother who was known as Lincheng's tyrant talking and talking happily as brothers.

I have also seen that he exchanged cups with the mayor and government officials in Lincheng.

She didn't know Qin Tang's identity very well, but she understood the reason why a strong dragon would not overwhelm a snake in the head.

She already owed Qin Tang too much, let alone let him be implicated by Chen Xiao because of her.

Gu Shi'an originally thought that Qin Tang wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask anything, just nodded lightly and said he understood.

The living room fell silent for a while, and Qin Tang raised his wrist to check the time.His staff was very efficient, Gu Shi'an had just finished drinking the brown sugar ginger soup in the cup when the doorbell rang.

The visitor not only brought clothes to Gu Shian, but also shoes and socks.It was already late at night, and he didn't know where he got these things so quickly.

She said she wanted to leave, but Qin Tang didn't want to keep her.Let her put on dry shoes and socks, and then said: "Let the driver take you back."

Gu Shi'an shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "No, it's getting late. I'll just take a taxi and go back. Mr. Qin, please go to bed early."

It's really late, it must be twelve o'clock when we go back to the old house.

Qin Tang didn't insist, took the key and said, "Let's go, I'll take you down to take a taxi."

Gu Shi'an originally wanted to refuse, but Qin Tang had already picked up his coat.

The community is quiet in the middle of the night, and the ground has already been covered with a thin layer of snow, and there is a creaking sound when you step on it.

The car here is much easier to stop than the one at the old house, Qin Tang quickly stopped the car, explained something to the driver, and then let Gu Shi'an get in the car.

Gu Shi'an quickly got into the car, thanked him again, and then closed the window.

The car drove away quickly in the heavy snow. Qin Tang stood there for a while, until the driver covered his head with the umbrella, then he came back to his senses and walked into the community.

After running back and forth, Gu Shi'an was extremely exhausted.When she got in the car, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. It was probably because she was too nervous just now, and her head was a little dizzy.

Although the road was smooth on the way back, it was still past twelve o'clock when we arrived at the old house.

When Gu Shian got out of the car to pay the driver, he realized that Qin Tang had already paid.

The driver was entrusted by Qin Tang, he stopped the car and watched Gu Shi'an enter the yard, and then drove away.

At night, the old house was already silent, but luckily Aunt Ye gave her the keys to the house when they moved in.She entered the house without alarming anyone.

When changing shoes, she didn't see Chen Xiao's shoes, that's when she knew he hadn't come back.

She was faintly relieved, she went upstairs gently, changed her clothes, and only then realized that she was extremely thirsty.She went downstairs to get some water again.

This time, he had just reached the stairs when he saw Qi Shiyun standing at the other end of the corridor.She was wearing a nightgown with an indifferent expression on her face.

She had gone back to her room a long time ago, and Gu Shi'an's movements were already light enough, so I don't know if she was woken up by her when she came back just now.

But when you see him, you have to say hello, so Gu Shi'an called mom, and said, are you still up?
Qi Shiyun glanced at her lightly, but did not answer her words.He went downstairs by himself.

Gu Shian didn't go back to his room when he went downstairs, so he had no choice but to follow him downstairs.

Qi Shiyun should have come down to pour water, so Gu Shi'an quickly stepped forward and poured her a glass of water.

There was no sound in the living room for a while, when Gu Shian was about to pour the second glass of water, the sound of a car engine came from the yard, and Chen Xiao came back.

Gu Shi'an put down his cup right now, walked over and opened the door.

Chen Xiao's movements were quick, and he had already found the door as soon as she opened it.Probably because Qi Shiyun was there, he called his mother and asked why Qi Shiyun was still up.As he spoke, he took Gu Shi'an's hand without any hassle.

Gu Shian's hands were cold, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Daughter-in-law, why are your hands so cold?"

She just came back from outside, how could her hands not be cold.

In front of Qi Shiyun, Gu Shi'an couldn't withdraw his hand, so he said: "Your hand is too hot."

Chen Xiao held her hand tightly, chuckled lightly, and said, "Is it hot? Then I'll warm you up."

Regardless of whether Qi Shiyun was still there, he pulled Gu Shi'an's other hand into his palm.

Qi Shiyun frowned slightly, glanced at Gu Shi'an lightly, left a sentence, it's not too early, go to bed early, and went upstairs directly.

Chen Xiao smelled of alcohol, and he let go of Qi Shiyun's hand as she disappeared upstairs.He took off his coat and threw it aside, motioning for Gu Shi'an to pour water for him.

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and quickly poured water for him.Chen Xiao took it, but didn't drink it.Just put it on the small table in front of you.

Gu Shi'an didn't care about him either, he poured a glass of water and drank it before going upstairs.

She had just returned to the room, and Chen Xiao followed her back to the room.

He had already become a human being, sat down on the sofa with the glass of water that Gu Shian poured for him, and asked casually, "Daughter-in-law, you came back late today?"

Gu Shi'an froze and said, "No."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows now, looked at her with a smile on his face, and said, "Then your hands are so cold, did you wait for me to come back to freeze them?"

Gu Shi'an now said lightly: "You think too much, my hands and feet are cold in winter." After a slight pause, she looked at Chen Xiao with a bit of sarcasm, and asked: "Is it true? Is this also a sin?"

Chen Xiao took the glass of water and slowly sipped it, and said slowly: "Of course not." He paused here, looked at Gu Shi'an with a half-smile, and said, "But daughter-in-law, you don't know Well, this outer courtyard is monitored."

Gu Shian's body froze now.

Chen Xiao drank a few sips of water, put down the water glass, got up and walked to the bathroom, stopped when he came to Gu Shian's side, leaned into her ear, and continued with a smile or not: "So daughter-in-law, lie It's not a good habit. What are you guilty of? This person who comes in and out quietly is doing something shady?"

He was like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter, as if it would bite down fiercely at any time.

Gu Shian closed his eyes.In terms of scheming, how could she be Chen Xiao's opponent?

She didn't know what Chen Xiao knew, but at this moment, she couldn't feel guilty.She raised her head to meet Chen Xiao's eyes, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Even if I sell myself as a slave, I think I should still have the freedom and privacy I deserve."

Chen Xiao smiled lowly and said, "Privacy? Well, there should be privacy."

Gu Shi'an originally thought that he was going to pursue it, but he didn't. After saying this, he went straight to the bathroom.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.Just for a moment, the palms of the hands were already slightly wet with sweat.She was so exhausted that she got into bed and huddled under the quilt and closed her eyes.

It was a snowy night, Gu Shi'an slept soundly, and didn't even know whether Chen Xiao had gone to bed or not.

When she woke up the next day, she was the only one in the room, and the center of her brow was aching, she stretched out her hand and pressed it hard, and then got up.

When they went downstairs, Qi Shiyun and the old lady were already sitting at the dining table. When the old lady saw her, she smiled and asked her to go over to have breakfast.

Gu Shi'an walked over quickly, greeted Qi Shiyun, and then sat down.

The old lady felt sorry for Gu Shi'an, so she asked Ye Qing to serve her porridge, and then said: "Chen Xiao went on a business trip early, don't worry, eat slowly, let the driver pick you up later. Don't rush to leave after get off work, Wait for the driver to pass."

Gu Shian responded with a smile.Originally, I wanted to ask the old lady how she was feeling these few days, but before she could open her mouth, Qi Shiyun, who was sitting by the side, said slowly: "Mom, it will be the new year soon, I plan to organize a banquet in a few days, please Please invite the female relatives who have contacts with the company."

It's the Chinese New Year, and there must be human relationships that should be there.It's just that in the past, most of the old ladies were socializing.

She was relieved to be able to think of these old ladies, so she nodded and said, "You can do as you see fit. Then bring me the list and let me have a look. Don't miss anything."

Qi Shiyun smiled and said yes.

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Gu Shi'an, her tone softened, and she said, "Shi'an will also help me that day, and these will be handed over to you sooner or later."

She has always disliked Gu Shi'an, and now she took the initiative to show her favor, the old lady would not agree, and said with a smile: "Yes, I forgot if you didn't tell me. Then try to spend the weekend as much as possible, An An will just rest and help you. "

The old lady patted Gu Shi'an's hand as she spoke, and then said: "It's good to gain more experience, and you'll be handy in the future."

Yes, in such a family, human relations outside are unavoidable.

It's just that Qi Shiyun took the initiative to ask her to help, something was wrong no matter what.She has always disliked her, how could she suddenly figure it out?

The old lady said that Gu Shi'an had to accept it no matter what.He smiled and said yes, then looked at Qi Shiyun, smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't understand a lot, and I have to ask you to give me some pointers."

Qi Shiyun hummed lightly.

It is considered a realm for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be so estranged and polite.

The old lady is an old man, so how could she not feel it.Kindly comfort Gu Shi'an and tell her not to be nervous, and take her time when the time comes.Don't make up your own mind if you are not sure, ask more.

Gu Shi'an responded one by one.

After all, she still felt that today's Qi Shiyun was a little abnormal, and she was startled in a daze when she was in the car.Suddenly, she remembered what she said when she went to her and Chen Xiao's wedding room, and that time when she met her shopping with a girl in the mall.

Gu Shi'an reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and let out a soft breath.
