A City International Airport.
Yao Shanshan took off her sunglasses and looked at her hometown. A smile of reminiscence flashed across her beautiful face.
Gu Shuxing, I'm back.
A City Central Hospital.
Ever since leaving Xiao Qing's home that night, Gu Shuxing hadn't seen his unreliable fiancée for a while. A few days ago, Gu Shuxing met Jiang Min in the neighborhood and found out from her that Xiao Qing had been with Yan Mubai every day. He seemed to have invested in Yan Mubai's store and wanted to help him expand it.
Didn't he know that a tall tree attracts the wind?
Gu Shuxing was speechless at this. But when he thought of how close Xiao Qing and Yan Mubai were, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
They were engaged before they were born. Although he and Xiao Qing didn't have deep feelings for each other these two years, the two didn't talk about the engagement.
Of course, what made Gu Shuxing toss and turn these few days was something else.
Xiao Qing, Yan Mubai, and Su Wan.
Gu Shuxing felt that Xiao Qing's attitude towards those two people was strange. Moreover, she seemed to know them too well. Even if she hired a private investigator, it was impossible for her to know the details of their meals and lives!
Xiao Qing, what … are you hiding?
It was already evening by the time he got off work at the hospital. Gu Shuxing changed his clothes as usual and went straight to the parking lot of the hospital to get his car. Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the inpatient building, he was stopped by a clear and melodious female voice.
"Gu Shuxing!"
Gu Shuxing froze hearing the voice. He quickly turned around and saw Yao Shanshan wearing a light blue coat smiling brightly at him under the setting sun.
"Gu Shuxing, I'm back!"
While speaking, she quickly ran in front of him, opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
Seven years ago, the two met overseas. At that time, they were both international students. After learning that they came from the same city, their relationship instantly got closer.
At that time, Yao Shanshan already knew that Gu Shuxing liked her, but it was very, very difficult to get this rigid man to take the initiative to confess.
Yao Shanshan was also a beauty, and there were many people who chased after her overseas. At that time, Yao Shanshan hinted at Gu Shuxing to confess to her at her birthday party, but this guy didn't understand.
In the end, in a fit of anger, Yao Shanshan found a foreigner to be her boyfriend. In fact, she just wanted to anger Gu Shuxing. She didn't really plan to do anything with that man. Who knew that Gu Shuxing would take the initiative to call her after finding out about it?
After that, the two of them stopped contacting each other.
Yao Shanshan was also a very proud woman. She felt that since Gu Shuxing was not willing to compromise for her, she might as well cut ties with him.
Until two years ago, when Yao Shanshan met the overseas student she had hung out with back then at a company cocktail party. From him, Yao Shanshan found out that on the day she announced that she had a boyfriend, Gu Shuxing had been drinking alone in the dormitory until dawn.
As a man who aspired to be the best surgeon in the world, he absolutely could not drink.
And that day, Gu Shuxing got himself drunk. He was the only one who silently endured it. He silently turned around and left.
Perhaps this was his way of dealing with people. Yao Shanshan didn't understand back then, but she did now.
That was why she came back.
"Shanshan?"
Looking at Yao Shanshan who didn't change much, Gu Shuxing's unchanging iceberg face revealed a rare smile. "When did you come back?"
"Today. I came to find you as soon as I got off the plane. Are you touched?"
Yao Shanshan let go of her hands and looked at Gu Shuxing with sparkling eyes. Before she came back this time, she had already arranged everything for herself. She also found someone to inquire about Gu Shuxing and knew that he was still single.
This time, she had to take the initiative and not miss this man again.
"Hehe."
Hearing Yao Shanshan's words, Gu Shuxing smiled faintly. "I just got off work. Let's go eat. I'll hold a welcome dinner for you!"
"Okay!"
Yao Shanshan smiled and turned to Gu Shuxing's side. She raised her hand and naturally held his arm. "Before I returned to the country, I heard from May and the others that a new restaurant, Yi Jiangnan, opened in A City. I heard that their private kitchen is very delicious. Let's go there!"
Memory Jiangnan …
Gu Shuxing couldn't help but think of Xiao Qing. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, Memory Jiangnan it is!"
After work was the busiest time in the restaurant. Because they didn't make an appointment in advance, Gu Shuxing and Yao Shanshan waited for ten minutes and finally found an empty private room.
"I don't know what you like to eat now. You can order."
Gu Shuxing pushed the menu in front of Yao Shanshan like a gentleman. Yao Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled. "Actually … I haven't changed all these years. It's still … the same old taste!"
Even if a woman took the initiative, she couldn't be too direct. Moreover, it was the first time they met after reuniting.
Yao Shanshan had already given Gu Shuxing enough hints. Unfortunately …
Dr. Gu didn't seem to understand the deeper meaning in Yao Shanshan's words.
After Yao Shanshan finished ordering, the two of them started chatting. With Gu Shuxing's cold personality, his circle of friends was very narrow, and there weren't many people who could talk to him. Yao Shanshan was the kind of person who was very much to Gu Shuxing's liking and could talk to him.
This might be the reason why Gu Shuxing liked Yao Shanshan back then.
It wasn't easy to find someone who understood you in a sea of people.
However, a lover and a close friend were two completely different concepts.
Gu Shuxing faced the current Yao Shanshan. He had already let go of his first love that ended without a cause. Perhaps it was really because a first love didn't understand love?
Memory Jiangnan's dishes were served very quickly. However, before Gu Shuxing and Yao Shanshan could start eating, a commotion came from outside the private room.
"I booked a private room at noon. Now you're telling me that you don't have it. What do you mean? Can't I afford it? "
Gu Shuxing immediately knew that it was Xiao Qing's voice when he heard the angry female voice calling out 'Laozi'.
He didn't know why but he couldn't help but laugh.
"Shuxing? What's wrong? "
"Nothing. A friend is downstairs. I'll go take a look."
Saying this, Gu Shuxing immediately got up and walked outside. Yao Shanshan followed him out of the private room with a suspicious expression.
Right now, Xiao Qing, Su Rui, and Su Wan were all in the lobby. This was quite a coincidence. Su Wan had already resigned a few days ago. Now, the three of them were focused on managing the store on Jiulin Street. The three of them planned to clear out the goods in the store and then find a reliable manufacturer to work with to create a popular brand. The three of them had been working on this for several days. Today, they finally found a factory and they were just short of signing a contract.
Because he was happy, Xiao Qing couldn't help but book a table at Memory Jiangnan. He planned on having a good meal with the three of them tonight.
Who knew that right before the three of them arrived, a group of district officials had also come here to entertain the leader. At that time, only the private room that Xiao Qing booked was empty. Therefore, the leader didn't put on airs and said, "This is it! Be small, be small! We can't increase the burden on the people ~ "
Xiao Qing was speechless.
Damn you ~
"Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry. Why don't you wait a bit? There will be an empty room soon. Plus … we'll pay for your and your friend's bill today."
The manager at the front desk kept apologizing to Xiao Qing but Xiao Qing just felt bad.
Damn. In the past, when I was poor, I was always bullied by tall, rich, and handsome men. Now that I'm a fair, rich, and beautiful woman, I'm still being bullied?
