"Hecheng, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer my call?" Lin Jinya was sitting in front of the mirror. She pinched her lipstick between her fingers and traced the shape of her full lips.
Gu Hecheng lowered his head. He was not in a good mood. "Nothing. I just got up."
Lin Jinya put down her lipstick when she heard his words. She asked him with a hint of reproach, "You woke up so late. Did you sleep with Qianqian?"
Gu Hecheng instinctively glanced at the empty seat beside him. "… No."
Gu Hecheng did not know why he had to hide it from Lin Jinya. He just did it on a whim.
"Okay then. I'm relieved to hear that." Lin Jinya put away the jealousy in her eyes and said coquettishly, "I thought you had a change of heart."
Gu Hecheng smiled awkwardly. "How could that be …"
"I'm fine now. I can go to work today." Lin Jinya's brisk voice sounded a little probing. In fact, she had hoped that Gu Hecheng would take the initiative to pick her up. However, she could not find fault with Gu Hecheng's answer. "Jinyang, you don't have to rush back to work. You're still weak. You can rest for a couple of days."
"Okay then …" Lin Jinya thought about it and felt that it was feasible. Anyway, she did not enjoy working. She just enjoyed the feeling of being envied by others at Gu Hecheng's company.
"By the way, Hecheng, I don't think it's appropriate for me to stay in a hotel all the time. I have to have my own place. Otherwise, people will really think that I'm homeless and have a mistress." Lin Jinya paused and deliberately said, "I saw a real estate company opposite the company. The exhibition hall is quite big. Can you accompany me to have a look when you have time?"
Gu Hecheng frowned slightly. "Okay."
Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, Gu Hecheng felt like something was missing in his heart.
When Gu Hecheng came downstairs, he saw that his Mother Liu had already prepared breakfast and had started to put it on the table. Seeing Gu Hecheng come downstairs, she asked in surprise, "Sir, why did you get up later than usual today? I was just wondering if I should go upstairs to wake you up."
Gu Hecheng was stunned and didn't say anything. He looked at the breakfast on the table and couldn't help but ask, "Shen Qianqian didn't eat?"
"Madam has already eaten," Mother Liu said with a smile. "Madam has asked me to prepare a simple meal for her these few days. She comes down to eat at six o 'clock and leaves at six-thirty …"
So early?
Gu Hecheng lowered his eyes and looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him. He furrowed his handsome eyebrows.
Mother Liu, who was standing next to Gu Hecheng, smiled when she saw that he was deep in thought. She really wanted to tell Gu Hecheng about Shen Qianqian's work, but when she thought about how she had gotten rid of Shen Qianqian, she suppressed the urge.
Gu Hecheng finished his breakfast absent-mindedly and hurried to the company.
Gu Hecheng had to take a detour to get to the company because the road near his company was under construction. He had to pass by the building opposite the company and then turn downstairs.
As usual, Gu Hecheng drove past the exhibition hall of Weihai Luxury Mansion. He glanced at it casually and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure in the hall.
Shen Qianqian? Gu Hecheng didn't have time to think. He stepped on the brakes and stopped the car abruptly by the side of the road.
It was indeed Shen Qianqian. Her makeup was light and decent. Not a single hair was out of place. Her slightly tight work attire accentuated her curvaceous figure. At that moment, she was standing upright in the hall.
Gu Hecheng's eyes darkened. He suddenly decided to stop the car by the side of the road.
People who worked in real estate companies had a pair of discerning eyes. Usually, it was easy for them to tell a person's level just by looking at their clothes.
When they saw an elegant 2.8m man in a custom-made suit walk into the hall, they immediately swarmed over. They were afraid that they wouldn't be the first to talk to him.
Shen Qianqian's eyes also moved. However, when her eyes met with Gu Hecheng's, Shen Qianqian's legs trembled. Her feet seemed to be glued to the ground. She quickly turned her face away and remained motionless.
Shen Qianqian's actions made Gu Hecheng's eyes freeze. He curled his lips coldly and chatted with the women who went up to him eagerly.
Shen Qianqian's waist was a little sore from standing. When she turned her face, she realized that Gu Hecheng had already left. However, the women who had received Gu Hecheng just now were still talking about him with bright eyes.
"What are you doing?" A sharp female voice broke the silence. Shen Qianqian turned her head and realized that it was her old classmate, Su Yun. She had come out to check on her as a female manager.
Su Yun arrogantly raised her eyebrows and walked past Shen Qianqian. One of the women immediately ran up to Su Yun and pointed at Gu Hecheng's car. "Manager Su, there was an excellent man just now."
"A golden bachelor. He's extremely handsome. Look at the car he's driving. It's a limited edition sports car. Tsk tsk. I don't know who will be lucky enough to be stared at by such a man."
However, before she could finish speaking, another woman immediately stepped forward and said, "Aiya, don't mention it. Such a man definitely won't have only one woman. Let me tell you the truth. I know him. He's the boss of the building opposite us. He's a married CEO. I have a good friend who works there. I heard that he actually brought his mistress to the company openly a few days ago."
"Wow, that's explosive." The gossipy looks in everyone's eyes made Shen Qianqian frown slightly. She turned her face away and had no intention of listening to them.
"Aiya, isn't it normal for such a man? I'm willing to be his mistress. I just need money and sleep with him."
"Come on, he won't even like you …"
"You …"
Whimsical words still filled Shen Qianqian's ears. She flipped through the information in the folder and shook her head helplessly.
When the day came for these women, they would know how painful it was to be by his side. He was handsome and rich, but she would never be happy and peaceful. She would only be left with endless pain, which made her want to run away regardless of her own safety.
Su Yun listened to the chatter and did not take it to heart. However, when her gaze swept past Shen Qianqian's back, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
She was quite cold. She still wanted to show that she was different from the rest. How ridiculous.
Su Yun cleared her throat and pushed away the female employee in front of her. She looked at Shen Qianqian mockingly and said, "Shen Qianqian, come here. You should have experience in this kind of thing. Didn't you marry a tall, rich, and handsome man a few years ago? "
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stared at Shen Qianqian in surprise. Could it be that there was a hidden rich man here?
"I heard that he was very rich back then, but how did you end up like this? Could it be that you were also chased out by a mistress?" Su Yun sneered and looked at Shen Qianqian mockingly.
Everyone was waiting for Shen Qianqian's answer, but they did not expect Shen Qianqian to say something shocking.
