Chapter 70 is written on the heart, with only one person's name, Qing.
A restaurant.
As Nian Qing followed Gu Qingheng in, several female waitresses looked over at the same time, their surprised gazes shifting from Gu Qingheng to her, sizing her up carefully.
Knitting clear eyebrows, feeling inexplicable fear.
Among them, a woman who seemed to be the manager walked quickly over and warmly welcomed: "Mr. Gu, it's been a long time since you've come here for dinner, is it still the usual seat?"
"Hmm." Gu Qingheng responded with a sound, walked forward, elegantly pulled out a chair, turned around and gazed at Nian Qing: "Sit."
The gentleman pulled out a chair for the lady, which was a courtesy of Western dining etiquette. However, the female manager raised an eyebrow in silence - when had Gu Qinghe ever pulled out a chair for a woman? Even before, when he dined with Miss Jiang Wan, he hadn't served her either.
Ning Qing didn't think much and walked forward, sat down, lifted her head, and politely said to Gu Qingheng, "Thank you."
Along his gaze from a high vantage point, Gu Qingheng was able to catch sight of several faint marks on the back of Ning Qing's pale neck.
It's all him, he did it on purpose.
To this day, it has still not been completely eliminated.
Gu Qing's eyes were deep and profound as he walked over to the other side, sat down, and smiled: "No need to thank me."
The female manager presented them with two menus and introduced which ingredients were the theme of today's restaurant and which seafood had just been airlifted in.
Turning over the pages of the menu with a clear mind, but listening absent-mindedly.
She only had a cup of strong coffee at noon, now her stomach is empty and painful, she's hungry. But the consumption in this restaurant is also outrageously expensive. The prices on the menu can only make people sigh, Gu Qingheng really has money to burn.
The last few pages of the menu are different couples' meals, looking at the pictures, they are very exquisite.
She glanced at Qingyi and then flipped back to the front page, considering what to order.
Gu Qingheng's side had already ordered dinner, his slender fingers slightly clasped together, staring intently at Nian Qing.
Mr. Gu thought for a moment, getting impatient with the wait, and decided to just order something cheaper. The female manager beside him, however, looked surprised and uncertainly asked: "Mr. Gu, what you've ordered is... a couple's set meal."
Thought he didn't know, ordered the wrong meal.
"I know." Gu Qingheng smiled slightly and said, apparently, he knew.
She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qingheng with a questioning gaze.
"Don't you like it?" Gu Qingheng asked her, his deep eyes staring at her very seriously.
With a faintly trembling hand, she smiled and shook her head.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, anyway, they all eat. It's just that, with their relationship, eating a couple's meal set might be a bit...
It's hard to say after all.
"Miss, do you need anything else?" The female manager asked Nian Qing after confirming that Gu Qingheng had ordered a couple's set meal.
Actually, the two of them had already eaten enough. The couple's set meal at the restaurant was a specially made full set, so there was no need to order anything else.
"We don't need it anymore." Ning Qing handed the menu back to the female manager.
The female manager took over and smiled deeply at her before leaving.
Knit your brows and still be puzzled.
She glanced at Gu Qingheng and saw that he was leaning on one hand, his eyes wandering lazily over her body.
She lowered her gaze, picked up the water cup, took a sip, and the other person's gaze followed closely, as if it was burning on her moist lips.
Focus.
He swallowed the water in his mouth with difficulty, quickly licked his lips, and awkwardly started a conversation, asking Gu Qingheng: "Do you often come here to eat?"
"Recently, I haven't been here." Gu Qingheng shook his head, staring at the water in his cup, took a sip, and smiled at Nianqing: "However, this is my first time ordering the couple's set meal here."
He cleared his throat and took a sip of water, nodding his head in confusion.
It turns out that she is the first woman to have a lovers' meal with Gu Qingheng? No wonder, the people here, looking at her gaze, are very strange.
"Are you thirsty?" Gu Qinghe looked at Nian Qing, who had been drinking water, and handed her the cup he had just drunk from: "My cup, for you."
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and took it - she had already refused Gu Qingheng several times today, but on this small matter, she didn't dare refuse him again.
"Not drinking?" Gu Qinghe raised an eyebrow and gazed at Nianqing as he took over, then put it down.
"Wait a minute." Qing said with a faint smile, and then dragged him away.
The couple's meal arrived soon.
Future sister-in-law and future brother-in-law sharing a romantic couple's meal set, the scene is eerie.
Ning Qing picked up her knife and fork, slightly pursed her lips, and hesitated without eating - she was hungry, but having a couple's meal with Gu Qingheng made her heart skip a beat.
He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Qingheng cutting his own portion elegantly, with a focused expression, as if he was working on a very important project.
She lowered her eyes, calmly and quietly cut a small piece, ate it, and the taste was great. Just as she was about to eat another one, a good-looking hand stretched out, exchanging hers with his.
Ning Qing looked at the fish meat that had been carefully cut by Gu Qingheng and said dazedly: "That portion, I've already eaten."
"Hmm." Gu Qingheng remained unmoved, and continued to savor the flavor of the dish he had eaten before, cutting off a piece and putting it in his mouth.
Sexy.
Ning Qing suddenly felt his throat dry, so he picked up the water beside him and drank half of it before suddenly realizing that this cup of water had already been drunk by Gu Qingheng.
Almost choked.
She, for a moment, was caught off guard...
Ning Qing endured the attention from Gu Qingheng, put down the water cup with a stiff neck, lowered his head, picked up the knife and fork, and ate quietly.
Pretend, everything is vague and nothing exists.
Just face, in fever.
Having a meal.
The female manager of the restaurant had been paying close attention to Gu Qingheng's table and saw how meticulously he was taking care of the young woman he brought with him.
At this time, a waitress came down from upstairs and whispered two sentences in her ear.
The female manager nodded and walked towards Gu Qingheng, waited for a long time before saying awkwardly: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Huo is upstairs, he wants to invite you up for a drink."
Who is it? Thinking quietly, I don't recognize him.
But she saw Gu Qingheng, who had already put down his knife and fork, apparently, he knew him.
"Tell him I drove myself today and it's not convenient for me to drink. And also..." He paused, Gu Qingheng didn't plan on going up, his personal grudge against Huo Zhi was very deep, the only reason he would invite him upstairs was: "Tell him Jiang Wan hasn't returned yet, so there's no need for him to come looking for me again."
"Alright, Mr. Gu." The female manager left clearly.
Nian Qing silently ate, her mind racing with thoughts.
In the evening, she knew who it was. Her colleagues often mentioned - the person in charge of Yuanhui, who had a close relationship with Gu Qingheng. The project in Jintai Bay was initially set for Yuanhui, also because of Jiang Wan.
Now, because of her reason and also because Jiang Wan is not around, Gu Qingheng has been delaying to finalize the project with Yuan Hui, either intentionally putting it on hold or considering a change in cooperation.
Then, when Jiang Wan comes back, Fang Rui's side will definitely take action, and the project should be returned to them. Nian Hai can also completely give up.
She also didn't need to give Gu Qingheng any more responses.
Ate a mouthful of side dishes, furrowed eyebrows, really want to ask Gu Qingheng, when will Jiang Wan come back?
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Qingheng stared at her and suddenly spoke up.
"No." Qing Li immediately put away her little thoughts and smiled.
Then, Huo Zhe didn't let anyone else come down and asked Gu Qingheng to go up and drink.
Finish eating.
The portion was just right for a couple's meal, although she and Gu Qingheng weren't a couple, making the meal a bit awkward.
Think clearly, finish eating, pay the bill, and then leave.
The female manager, however, presented a bouquet of roses to her face, smiling deeply as she handed it over: "Our restaurant will give a bouquet of roses to couples who come for a romantic dinner as a blessing. Mr. Gu just ordered the most expensive one, which has thirty roses inside, representing... please accept my..."
"It's over." Nian Qing was startled and quickly interrupted, afraid of hearing the last word. She glanced at Jun Yan's pale face, clenched her fists: "Can't you not?"
"Take it then, since it's a gift." Gu Qingheng's voice was slightly cold, his gaze fixed intently on Nianqing, exerting pressure.
The female manager seemed to understand intuitively and hastily handed the bouquet of roses in front of Nian Qing, just short of shoving it into her arms.
Can't refuse.
Her heart skipped a beat as she hesitantly reached out to accept the bouquet of roses with profound implications, softly saying: "......thank you."
Gu Qingheng's lips curled up in a smile, his gaze was fixed on Nian Qing, who was holding a bouquet of roses. The vibrant red of the flowers complemented her pale skin perfectly.
"Mr. Gu, we'd also like to give you a card. Would you like us to write something on it?" The female manager took out a heart-shaped card and asked with her head bowed.
The theme of their restaurant has always been around romance, and there are not a few couples who come here to eat on ordinary days. In this regard, they do better than other restaurants, with more attention to detail.
"Give it to me." Gu Qingheng stretched out his hand, and the female manager put the card on it.
He fiddled with the card, raised an eyebrow, as if it was a rare thing. He pulled out the steel pen from his chest and wrote something on it, then closed the card and handed it to Nian Qing with a good-looking hand, saying "Take it."
Qing Dan smiled stiffly, holding it in her hand, and didn't dare ask Gu Qingheng what was written on it.
My heart is almost scared to death by him.
……
Back at the company, Gu Qingheng drove into the underground parking lot, making it inconvenient for others to see him and Nianqing entering and exiting together.
Qing unfastened her seatbelt, wanting to get out of the car, but the rose in her hand made her look at Gu Qingheng hesitantly and open her mouth: "The flower..."
"You take it, I'm a man, don't need flowers." Gu Qing said calmly, suddenly turning his gaze to stare at Nian Qing and asking: "Or are you going to throw them away?"
Throw it away, Qing doesn't dare to mention it again.
After some thought, I calmed down and pretended nothing was wrong - "I'll go first."
"Wait a minute." The car door opened slightly, but was stopped by Gu Qingheng calling out to him. Ning Qing turned her head to look at him, furrowing her brow.
Suddenly, Gu Qingheng approached her, his masculine aura enveloping her tightly, making her almost breathless with tension.
Nian Qing tightly grasped her hand, considering whether or not to push away Gu Qingheng.
"There's still a mark here, button up your clothes, don't let people see." Gu Qingheng said, his thin fingertips had already touched the white skin on Nian Qing's neck, and he stopped his hand after just a slight touch, not going any further.
He would button up the few buttons on her collar one by one, covering her skin tone, very gentlemanly.
"Alright, let's go." Gently patting Ning Qing, Gu Qingheng said.
Take a deep breath, open the door, get out of the car, and walk straight forward without looking back, not daring to take another glance at Qingheng.
Until she walked into the elevator, she gently stroked her scalding skin on her neck, and as she thought of Gu Qingheng's touch just now, her small face suddenly turned bright red.
"Ding" - the elevator door opened, and she had arrived at her floor.
Maybe...
Nian Qing looked at the bouquet of roses in her hand with difficulty, thirty flowers, a very large bunch, impossible to hide. Throwing it away was even more impossible.
Sighing, she mechanically took out her lunch and walked into the office, where her colleagues had already finished eating and were chatting idly about gossip.
She quietly smacked her lips, bypassed the bustling side, and walked silently back to her workstation, just putting down the bouquet - "What a beautiful rose! Is it from your boyfriend?"
A female colleague with sharp eyes, especially quick and accurate.
He shook his head with a smile: "No, I just passed by the flower shop and thought it looked good, so I bought it on impulse."
The female colleague burst out laughing, "How can you believe such a thing? 'Come on, who would buy themselves such a big bunch of roses? Honestly, which man sent them?"
"No, really not." Nian Qing still denied, it was impossible to get a confession from her.
After all, that man was their big boss - Gu Qingheng.
Several colleagues' continuous bombardment still couldn't open Nian Qing's mouth, she kept denying with Tai Chi moves, in the end, after questioning to no avail, those colleagues also gave up.
Finally, a colleague looked at Nian Qing's face and added, "Look at how red your face is, that man must be very charming?"
Nian Qing's eyes widened suddenly and he almost choked on his saliva, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
Having calmed down the gossip of her colleagues, Qing sat at her own workstation, picked up that heart-shaped card, hesitated for a moment, and finally, out of curiosity, looked to see what Qing Heng had written on it.
She slowly opened——
In heart, only one person's name is written, Qing Nian.
The word is Gu Qingheng's word, neat and revealing a bold and vigorous spirit.
She put down the clear card, placed it aside, leaned on her office desk, and deeply hid her face, not daring to lift it up, feeling that her whole body was burning with fever.
Gu Qingheng's love game, she really can't play it, and really can't beat him.
Get off work and return home.
Nian Qing thought for a moment and turned off her phone. Nian Hai probably already knew about Zhou Ai's situation. She didn't have the energy to deal with him right now.
As for this, Gu Qingheng insisted on giving her his mobile phone, let's put it aside for now, there's no need to use it, and there's nothing wrong with this phone.
"Where did this rose come from? Tell me quickly!" Yanzi asked while taking off her high heels, urging Nianqing to speak up. She had been wanting to ask the whole way here, but Nianqing had told her to hold on.
"... Gu Qingheng." Qing furrowed her brow, also uncertain whether it was Gu Qingheng who sent them. "I had lunch with him at noon, and that restaurant... gives flowers to customers who order the couple's meal."
The mind is clear, but the words are confusing and disorganized when spoken out loud.
Yan Zi tidied up and exclaimed, "Wow! You went to have a lovers' dinner with Gu Qingheng? You're something else, he even sent you women and didn't get angry, instead he invited you to dinner and even gave you flowers. Tell me, how much does Gu Qingheng like you to be so indulgent towards you?"
How much you like someone can spoil them to this extent.
She didn't know how much she liked him, but she and he didn't have such a deep connection.
"She let out a deep sigh and said: 'I'm about to be scared to death, believe it or not?'"
"Really." Yanzi could also imagine that, with Gu Qingheng's aura, it wouldn't be easy to have a romantic dinner together. "However, you're still holding onto this flower tightly, not willing to throw it away?"
"Threw it away..." Nian Qing's expression was complex: "Will feel that oneself is very lacking in virtue."
Friends, it's September, asking for red envelopes
