Chapter 81: Add more votes for this month! Who else can open your mouth besides Luochuan?

  Gu Qingheng's words made Nian Qing a bit flustered, and she sat on his leg like this, clearly feeling the heat from his body, which was quite improper. She wanted to get up, but her hands were tightly pressed against her waist, so she had no choice but to say, "Can I, can I get up first?"

  Gu Qingheng smiled and gently touched Nian Qing's forehead with his lips.

  Actually, I want to kiss her lips, like the taste on her lips, want to keep kissing her, want to tell her a lot of things, want to take her home.

  But can't be too tight, afraid she'll slip away again, afraid of another mishap.

  She knew nothing about anything, and it wasn't until after countless times of brushing shoulders that she finally looked at him straight in the eye.

  "Suit, remember to return it." Gu Qingheng reminded, his hand slowly letting go.

  Ning Qing immediately stood up, without hesitation, nodding: "Mm, I will return it to you, Lin."

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow: "The tie, you don't have to return it to me, just keep it well."

  My scalp is numb and I don't know what to say.

  Gu Qingheng just blurted out the words, leaving her no room to cover up. In fact, she wanted to explain, to tell him that it wasn't what he thought.

  But the language is very pale.

  "I'll go first." Gu Qingheng stood up, glanced at his watch and furrowed his brow: "Something's come up."

  "Goodbye." Nian Qing immediately responded, and in her heart, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  Very afraid of Gu Qingheng, he will grab this matter and interrogate her, tease her. Against him, no matter how she explains, she will be at a disadvantage.

  When sending Gu Qingheng out, Qing looked at him staring at her, still standing in front of the door and not leaving, as if he had something to say.

  Nian Qing didn't dare, so he just closed the door and waited with him in front of it.

  Gu Qingheng smiled, his eyes very sincere: "I'm happy today, I'm delighted to be with you."

  She is happy and joyful.

  Nian Qing couldn't believe it, her heart was shocked.

  What virtues and abilities does she have to grasp Gu Qingheng's mood?

  How could he say such...such words that are so out of character for him?

  Qing raised her eyes and met Gu Qingheng's determined gaze. She knew he wasn't leaving until she gave him a definite answer.

  Glancing at the mark on his neck, Ning Qing said, "Be careful on your way."

  It means letting him go.

  Gu Qingheng furrowed his brow, his smile faded away, the dense emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated, and after a while, he said: "You go in, I'll leave."

  Qing said goodbye hastily and closed the door.

  My mood is very messy.

  No reply was given to Gu Qingheng at all.

  He is very good, mature and steady, with a handsome appearance and wealth, noble status, but he treats people with great courtesy. Undoubtedly, he is excellent. Also because of his excellence, she understands that she and he are fundamentally impossible to develop.

  When facing him, she always feels very small and her rationality is often lost.

  There have been moments of wavering and thoughts of falling into his trap.

  But she has already passed her most innocent moment, and once thought that love, as long as two people hold hands, they can go on forever.

  But in fact, she was slapped again and again, ridiculed again and again. She made a mistake the first time, a mistake the second time, dare to make another mistake the third time?

  I dare not, really dare not get involved in any emotions that can't keep promises again.

  ……

  Downstairs.

  Gu Qingheng sat in the car, not hurrying to leave. He took out his phone and glanced at it. There were many missed calls from many people, among which Jiang Wan's was the most.

  He intentionally put his phone on silent mode today, not wanting anyone to disturb him. Looks like he did the right thing.

  Gave Jiang Wan a call back.

  Gu Qingheng pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and waited for the call to connect.

  The dampened cigarette doesn't taste very good, but he can't explain why he likes it so much, it's like an obsession.

  Jiang Wan quickly picked up the phone.

  She said just one word, and Gu Qingheng suddenly interrupted: "You called me many times today."

  "Who made you never pick up, I'm anxious." Jiang Wan said with a smile.

  "I'm busy." Gu Qingheng stated a fact.

  "I know you've been busy. Don't be so busy that you forget about me." Jiang Wan's voice was soft and gentle, wanting to seep into Gu Qingheng's heart.

  "Is anything wrong?" Gu Qingheng's voice was warm and gentle, his handsome face expressionless.

  "Missing you, missing the sound of your voice." Jiang Wan poured out her heart, then smiled again: "I found a pair of wedding rings here, they're especially beautiful, I really like them."

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing cold for a moment: "So?"

  Jiang Wan said: "I want you to give it to me. If I buy it myself, it won't make sense."

  A man gives a woman an engagement ring; there is only one meaning.

  Gu Qingheng curved his lips, his slender fingers shaking off the cigarette ash, very elegant - "Alright, you like it, I'll give it to you."

  On the other side of the river in the evening, I'm very happy, can't hide the happiness: "Then I'll go buy it tomorrow. When I get back, I want you to help me put it on."

  Gu Qingheng didn't answer, his thin lips exhaling smoke that concealed the coldness on his face: "Jiang Wan."

  "Huh?"

  "Take good care of my parents."

  His voice was low and sounded in Jiang Wan's ears like a hint.

  It was what she wanted, a hint, accompany his parents, send her wedding ring, just one step away, the same.

  "Alright, I definitely will."

  The conversation lasted for a long time afterwards.

  Most of the time, it was Jiang Wan who spoke, and Gu Qingheng only responded with one or two sentences. His voice was always gentle and never impatient, but his hands were restless, smoking one cigarette after another, distracted.

  It wasn't until later that he said his phone was out of battery and Jiang Wan ended the call.

  The phone shows 50% battery remaining.

  Gu Qingheng's face was expressionless, cold and detached.

  Jiang Wan was clearly very excited, so excited that he forgot about Gu Qingheng's style. He did things in a rigorous and meticulous manner, and would never let his phone run out of battery temporarily.

  ……

  The next day, at noon.

  After waking up from the banquet, her memories came flooding back. She hastily asked Nian Qing if she had offended Gu Qingheng yesterday. Only after Nian Qing repeatedly assured her that she hadn't did she finally feel relieved and take a sip of water, still worried that her foolish actions might have provoked the big boss.

  Talking about yesterday, Yanzi said with regret: "Yesterday's gathering, I wanted you to go together and introduce a male colleague. This person is pretty good, 25 years old, looks not bad, and..."

  "Alright, you can keep it to yourself, no need to introduce him to me. In my current situation, having any emotional involvement with a man is equivalent to cheating and having an affair, got it?"

  "Having multiple spares, having multiple choices." Yanzi didn't think it was a big deal, anyway, Guan Shao had many women outside, why should she be loyal to him. However, speaking of which - "Then what are you and Gu Qingheng?"

  "Qing smiled and said, 'He will get married this year.'"

  Yan Zi's eyes widened, and she let out a sigh: "Then what did you do?"

  Ning Qing spread out her hands and shrugged. "I don't know what to do, when the time comes, I'll just call him brother-in-law."

  Besides this, there won't be anything else.

  She and Gu Qingheng had a one-night stand, but as compensation, he let her join the Gu Corporation. She accepted this compensation, which meant that he didn't owe her anything.

  Use your first salary to change jobs, it's really unfair.

  But it can only be like this, such a relationship, cannot be exposed, and she doesn't have the face to use this matter to ask for anything from Gu Qingheng.

  It's as if it never happened at all.

  Yan Zi was unwilling and still sighed: "Good men are all occupied by green tea bitches."

  Ning Qing didn't bother to listen to her nagging, went into the room, changed clothes, and came out with Gu Qingheng's suit in hand, ready to go out. But thinking that there was no food at home, she called Yan Zi: "Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go to the supermarket together."

  ……

  Go out.

  Ning Qing pulled Yan Zi and first went to the laundry shop, handing over Gu Qing Heng's clothes to be washed first, so as not to forget later.

  Paid for it, can pick up clothes at night.

  On the way to the supermarket, there was a black sedan that followed Ning Qing and Yan Zi all the way, driving very slowly.

  Nian Qing noticed and patted down Yan Zi - Yan Zi had been holding onto her phone the whole time, ready to call for help at any moment!

  A man got off the bus and chased after her. He looked at Nian Qing seriously for a few moments before asking, "Are you Miss Nian Qing?"

  Ning Qing didn't say anything and was on guard, not knowing who the other person was.

  The other party was very polite: "I am Mr. Guan's person who let me come over to pick you up, he wants to meet with you."

  "Which official are you referring to?" Nian Qing was very cautious and didn't mention a name. Who knew what kind of background he had?

  The other side quickly gave out a name - "Guan Lian".

  Qing's eyes widened in shock and her eyebrows furrowed intensely, her heart racing with fear.

  Guan Liang had looked for her several times, but she had turned him down every time over the phone. He was looking for her in this way, which was abnormal in itself, and it was after he saw Gu Qingheng yesterday.

  He won't be...

  "Please get on the bus." The man stared at Nian Qing tightly, and Guan Jian had said that this girl was very clever, so he didn't dare to relax.

  The car had already driven up to Nian Qing's face, leaving her no room for refusal with its strong momentum.

  She grasped Qing's hand tightly, quickly bowed her head and whispered in Yanzi's ear: "Don't look for Gu Qingheng."

  Then, she got on the car with the man and left.

  ……

  The place where they met was Guan Li's villa.

  Ning Qing, it's been a year since she came here. Since her engagement to Guan Shao Chen, Guan Jian had always kept his distance from her, never making an effort to meet with her like he did today.

  There must be some twists and turns in this matter.

  Invited into the villa.

  She took a quick glance around and saw servants and aunts but no sign of Officer Yu, her heart felt slightly relieved.

  Upstairs, Guan Liang is in the study.

  Saying the truth, Qing didn't want to go in. It was a year ago that Guan Shao Chen knelt down in this study and begged Guan Li to agree to their engagement. It was also here that she made a wrong decision.

  She is very regretful.

  Push the door and go in.

  The official pointed to a seat in front of the office desk and let Nian Qing sit there, specifying that she was not allowed to say no.

  Still looking down on her as always.

  Ning Qing walked past and sat down, looking at Guan Jian with a smile: "Uncle, you used this method to invite me over, I thought it was a kidnapping."

  Guān Lián Lěng hēng, shuō huà, dài cì: "Wǒ bù ràng nǐ guò lái, nǐ shì fǒu jiù yǒng yuàn bù kěn chū xiàn? Hái jì dé nǐ de wèi hūn fū shì shuí ma?"

  Translation:

  Guān Lián coldly hummed and spoke with a sharp tone: "I won't let you come over, are you going to refuse to appear forever? Do you still remember who your fiancé is?"

  "I remember." Qing nodded solemnly, "I remember every moment. The news reported it, the newspaper mentioned it, a woman who gave birth to an illegitimate child with Official Shao, named Qianqian. But not this Qing."

  Guan Liang was furious as soon as he heard it: "I'm also very curious, how did you become Ah Yan's fiancée? He's with another woman and you don't even care?"

  Qing smiled calmly, already accustomed to Guan Zhen's unrelenting accusations towards her.

  In Guan Li's eyes, it was she who had implicated his good son, caused him to lose his identity as a son after getting engaged to her, and now Jian Jian's situation was also her fault.

  Everything is her fault.

  The mistake was made when she blindly agreed to be engaged to Guan Shaozhuang in the first place!

  "It's none of my business." said Nian Qing.

  "Is it that you don't dare to interfere, or is it that you also have a man outside, so you don't want to interfere?" Officer Guan's tone became increasingly severe, as if interrogating: "The woman in Gu Qingheng's room yesterday, was it you?"

  "I don't understand what you're saying." Nen Qing said with a straight face, but his palms had already started to sweat.

  It turns out that Guan Jian would use such a hard approach to invite her over, and it's related to what happened with Gu Qingheng yesterday.

  Did he see her?

  In my heart, I'm panicking and afraid of being caught off guard.

  "Yesterday, I asked Nian Hai and Jiang Rong, you also came. But I never saw you leave the hotel, nor did Gu Qing Heng. You two stayed in your hotel room for at least over two hours, what kind of shameful deeds did you do that no one can see, it's clear to everyone!"

  More than two hours, indeed no mistake.

  Clutching her hands tightly, her fingernails turned slightly white, her eyes didn't dare to evade in the slightest.

  She didn't know Officer Lin, and how much did he know about her, and how did he determine it was her.

  Yesterday, when leaving the hotel with Gu Qingheng, she clearly didn't see Officer Jian there, yet she said he had someone else keeping watch.

  Gu Qingheng, didn't he really leave?

  "I had something urgent to attend to and left early. My friend was elsewhere, getting drunk, and I needed to go pick her up. This is my personal business, and there's no need for me to explain it all to you." By the time she finished speaking, Nian Qing paused, seeing Officer Jian narrow his eyes, but he didn't refute her. An idea formed in his mind - "You didn't see me because I had already left by then."

  "You're being evasive. Yesterday, you must have been with Gu Qingheng." Officer Jian said resolutely, not thinking his idea was wrong. But Nian Qing's attitude was beyond his expectation; he thought she would be conscience-stricken or flustered and her words would be in disarray.

  But she didn't.

  "I don't have any excuses, do you have evidence to prove it was me? I'm a woman, my reputation is very important, please respect me." Ning Qing refused to admit it, even if she were beaten to death, she wouldn't admit it.

  If she acknowledges this kind of thing, it's equivalent to admitting infidelity. If she is unfaithful, Officer Xiao will not only refuse to divorce her but also double his torment of her.

  She didn't dare imagine the consequences.

  Evidence? The official remained silent.

  He couldn't find any evidence. Yesterday, after being driven away by Gu Qingheng's people, he was too anxious and didn't let anyone stay in the hotel to stake out.

  Afterwards, he rushed back to the hotel to look for the video recording, but it was gone. All the recordings from that day had been cut off. The hotel staff also changed their words, saying that Gu Qingheng only opened a room in the hotel, but did not bring any women in, and it was always just him alone.

  Obviously, he has been bought off.

  Ning Qing watched as Guan Liang fell silent, and he secretly let out a breath of relief, even more certain - Guan Liang had no evidence.

  If there was evidence, Officer Li wouldn't have had to interrogate her; he would have gone after Gu Qingheng first.

  Guan Liang wanted to use this conversation to blackmail Gu Qingheng, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to confess.

  "What are you talking about?" Officer Lai pulled out a drawer and flipped out an old magazine, which was a photo of Gu Qingheng and Nian Qing leaving the hotel together that he had secretly taken before.

  At that time, Guan Jian was in Tibet. When he came back, due to the scandal of Guan Shaocun, he had no time to deal with this matter of Nian Qing. Now, he finally saw through the situation.

  Gu Qingheng and Nian Qing have been secretly in love for a long time!

  "It wasn't me." Qing glanced at the magazine, smiled and said carelessly: "I've seen this news before. The woman in the photo is blurry, it could be anyone."

  Guan Lian's face turned cold with a sneer: "Are you planning on denying it till the end?"

  "I don't want to admit things I've never done." Ning Qing stood up, thinking of leaving, feeling that there was no need to say more to Guan Jian, afraid of saying the wrong thing, and it wasn't good to offend him too much, after all, she still had to consider their father-son relationship.

  Ning Qing suddenly remembered something.

  She thought that now was a good opportunity to bring it up - "If you're really so dissatisfied with me, just find some excuse and want to frame me, then you can let Officer Shan and I dissolve our engagement. From now on, I will never bother him again, nor will I appear in front of you all."

  "Alright." Officer Gua's smile didn't reach his eyes as he sized up Nian Qing, just like a year ago, with disdain. "However, you don't know how to speak properly, go get your dad over here and talk to me!"

  Qing tightly grasped Nian's hand, feeling unbearable and unable to utter a single word.

  Nian Hai will not easily let her have her way, Guan Jian will not let her off easy, and Guan Shao Yan will also not spare her.

  Great, they're all a bunch of bastards!

  I'd rather leave this dump immediately and never come back!

  Behind her was the sound of Guan Zhan's voice, not letting her go. She didn't care and directly opened the door - Guan Shaozhan was standing outside the door, she didn't know how long he had been there or how much he had heard, his face looked very ugly.

  Suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

  Suddenly, Guan Shaoye pulled her into his arms. Just as she was about to struggle free, Guan Shaoye raised his hand and blocked her way, with a swift motion - the sound of a cup shattering on the ground.

  "Dad, just talk if you're going to talk, don't make any moves." Guan Shao Yan pulled Nian Qing's arm, very dissatisfied, and scratched it a bit.

  "You're really something!" Officer Jian was furious, every time he saw Guan Shao Yu defending Ning Qing, it made him resentful: "In the beginning, the one who begged to be engaged to her on his knees was you, now the one who caused this mess is also you. I really don't understand what you're doing, just go ahead and like her, let her give you a few more green hats, I don't care about you!"

  Guan Liang, left in anger.

  Guanshao Zhen grasped Nian Qing's shoulders, lowering his head to scrutinize her for a long time before finally asking, "Have you slept with Gu Qingheng?"

  He knew it all along, but he still wanted her to answer him in person.

  Nian Qing cannot say: "There is none."

  "Has he ever slept with you?"

  Ning Qing raised her eyes to look at him and refused to admit it: "No."

  Guan Shaoyan's anger reached its peak, and she laughed maniacally, her laughter eerie. She grabbed Nian Qing's hand, her veins bulging, and pushed her away violently: "This mouth of yours, apart from Luochuan, who else can pry it open!"

  Ning Qing fell to the ground, and the cup that Officer Shao had just used to block for her shattered on her body, with shards piercing into her palms, causing pain.

  Qing's eyes gradually turned red.

  It's not because of the pain, she's long been used to Guan Shaozhu's personality of giving her a sugar cube and then a whip. She was just mocking herself for ending up in such a sorry state, all of which was her own doing.

  Missing Lu Chuan, miss him so much.
