Chapter 72: Gu Qingheng really liked this tender one

  The entrance of Xiyuan Restaurant.

  Duān wǔ had already stopped the car here and waited for a long time. He glanced at his watch - Guān Shǎo yàn's father had been gone for nearly twenty minutes, but Gù Qīng héng still hadn't come down.

  Just as he was considering going up for Dragon Boat Festival, he saw Nian Qing coming out with Gu Qing Heng, raised an eyebrow, and instantly understood.

  There is only one person who can disrupt Gu Qingheng's carefully laid plans.

  "Miss Qing." Duanwu opened the car door and smiled invitingly for Nianqing to get in.

  Ning Qing nodded to him and said thank you, then got on the car and sat as far inside as possible. The interior space was spacious enough, but as soon as Ning Qing got in, it seemed like he occupied all the air, his presence was too strong, making Ning Qing look weak and small beside him.

  The car is moving.

  Her eyes were cast down, her brow slightly furrowed.

  "What brings you here tonight?" Gu Qingheng asked, his eyes following her every move.

  "See you personally." Nian Qing said casually, remembering what Nian Hai had said earlier, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Gu Qing Heng. She glanced at him for a moment, and their gazes tightly locked onto each other. She didn't dodge either, just looking at him like that, slightly distracted.

  Gu Qingheng had feelings for her, but what else was there? She couldn't see through it.

  "Don't look at men with that kind of gaze, it'll make them lose control." Gu Qingheng stretched out his good-looking hand, gently pinched Nianqing's chin, and stroked it finely, his eyes suddenly darkening - so tender.

  Come back to your senses, pull down Gu Qingheng's hand, slightly annoyed: "I didn't mean anything else."

  Gu Qingheng smiled lightly and said in a low, hoarse voice, "But I have another meaning."

  Take a deep breath, calm down, don't be angry, white skin, slightly red.

  At this time, the mobile phone rang twice with a short message tone. On the screen, three words appeared - Guan Shao Chen.

  Gu Qing's eyes dimmed slightly and he looked down. Nian Qing quickly picked it up, deliberately blocking it, but he didn't know if Gu Qing had seen it or not.

  The text message was sent by Yang Zi in response to her previous one - 【I'm awesome! 】

  Nian Qing looked at Gu Qingheng with a worried expression, and silently returned a few colons to Yanzi, indicating that she was speechless.

  "Why don't you use a new mobile phone?" Gu Qingheng said lightly.

  "There's no need to use a new one when the old one still works."

  Nothing's wrong, Gu Qinghe raised an eyebrow, watching Nian Qing put his phone in his bag, pursed his lips, and gazed at him with a heavy gaze - nothing's wrong, but he often didn't receive his calls or texts, nor did he send any messages to him anymore.

  The silence lasted for a long time.

  It wasn't until a phone call broke the awkwardness that Gu Qingheng's cell phone rang.

  He glanced at the caller ID and picked up, his voice slightly cold: "Hmm, I'm on the road, something's up? Alright, I'll come over later."

  End call.

  Gu Qingheng glanced over and looked at Nian Qing, saying: "Something's come up, I have an engagement."

  Ning Qing nodded and reacted quickly: "Just find a place at random, it's fine as long as you put me down."

  Gu Qingheng smiled and shook his head, gazing at Nianqing with an enchanting look in his eyes: "You come with me. You're an employee of my company."

  She frowned slightly, feeling it wasn't right, but couldn't say no.

  Gu Qingheng was speaking to her in his capacity as her superior.

  He nodded and smiled wryly: "......Alright."

  Overtime work without overtime pay, and still have to be careful to follow the big boss.

  ……

  The place for socializing is one of the top clubs in Qingcheng. People who come and go here must be members who have paid a membership fee of 1.5 million yuan per year.

  Nian Qing may not be a member here, but Gu Qingheng is. She was brought in as Gu Qingheng's companion.

  How can she be Gu Qingheng's partner, Nian Qing doesn't dare to imagine.

  Hand in hand with Gu Qingheng, she was tightly held by him all the way to the room he had an engagement in. The door opened and they went in.

  Nian Qingyu glanced around and saw that there were seven or eight men inside, each with their own female companion. The only familiar face was He Donglin.

  "Sister-in-law, you're here too." He Donglin smiled and greeted Nian Qing, his voice loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

  He is determined to make his mind clear.

  This girl is so clever, last time at the bar, she came up with all sorts of excuses.

  Nian Qing forced a smile and nodded at He Donglin and others, pretending he hadn't heard that one word "sister-in-law".

  Others, upon hearing He Donglin's words, shifted their gaze to the girl beside Gu Qingheng, sizing her up - it was Gu Qingheng's first time bringing a companion, and she was young and tender-looking, with a pure appearance, dressed in ordinary clothes, but youthfulness made anything look charming.

  "Your girlfriend?" a man asked in surprise.

  "Mm." Gu Qingheng replied faintly, pulling Nianqing down to sit with him. One hand wrapped around her waist, holding her close, while the other hand cradled hers, examining it seriously.

  After a while, he turned his gaze towards Nian Qing: "The wound is completely healed."

  Nian Qing was so tense that he was absent-minded for a while, before reacting and nodding: "Yeah, the hospital's medicine is very effective."

  Gu Qingheng's palm, relaxed and tense, like a fishing line, unexpectedly, did not let go of Nianqing's hand. His slender fingers slipped into the white space between Nianqing's fingers, clasped, and tightly intertwined with her ten fingers.

  Hard to make ends meet.

  His palm's thin callus touched her delicate skin, and it felt like an electric shock, numbness.

  Nian Qing frowned tightly, feeling embarrassed and not daring to look directly at Gu Qingheng, turning away her eyes and glancing around restlessly.

  The men here are of high quality and upbringing, and they won't pry into her private life with just a few casual remarks. They are mature men who know how to handle things. The women by their side can tell the difference in nature after taking a few glances at her, she is not the same as Gu Qingheng.

  Several waiters pushed in the door, holding a delicate tray with some small gadgets for entertainment while drinking.

  There aren't many toys in the Qinghui Club, but there is one. She picked up a small toy - a Rubik's Cube. Unlike those sold outside, this club's things are all custom-made and exquisitely crafted by hand, just looking at it makes you feel it's very beautiful.

  The clear water is placed in the palm of his hand, and after playing with it for a while, a playful thought arises between his eyebrows.

  When she was reading, he said she needed to improve her brainpower for the college entrance exam, so he gave her a Rubik's Cube to play with. However, no matter how long she turned it, she couldn't get the colors right. He would laugh at her and then sit down beside her, turning the cube correctly one by one, his handsome face smiling even more childishly than hers.

  The man beside her lowered his head and leaned in close, carrying a scent similar to Luochuan's. Qingyun raised her face, and their eyes met, staring at each other blankly.

  "Do you like playing this?" Gu Qingheng asked softly, his eyes fixed on her.

  Nian Qing thought for a moment, nodded her head, and her pale face broke into a bright smile, which was the beauty that belonged to someone of her age.

  Gu Qingheng was momentarily blinded, slowly releasing his grip on Ningqing's hand, letting her play, his calm and steady gaze fixed tightly on her, unable to move away.

  He Donglin called out three times before Gu Qingheng shifted his gaze and looked at him lightly.

  "Go next door to play cards, together?" He Donglin said, the people here have all moved to next door to play, after drinking, they want to play some exciting games, money is not bad.

  Gu Qingheng shook his head and wrapped his arms around Nian Qing beside him.

  He Donglin raised an eyebrow, understanding - this girl, Gu Qingheng attaches great importance to, can't take his eyes off her for a second, afraid she'll disappear.

  He Donglin went to the next room without saying anything, and everyone there was waiting for him, he had no choice but to go.

  Ning Qing continued to twist the Rubik's Cube, her mind focused. She had heard He Donglin's words, but they were irrelevant to her. The chips they played with started at a minimum of 10,000, and there was only Gu Qingheng...

  "This place, you've taken a wrong turn." The man standing beside her couldn't help but speak up.

  Ning Qing suddenly lifted her head, looking at Gu Qingheng in surprise. He was still... "Aren't you going to play?"

  Gu Qingheng shook his head, pointed with his hand, hooked up a strand of Nianqing's hair, and tucked it behind her ear, smiling lightly to ask: "Is it fun?"

  Qing smiled awkwardly: "I didn't play well."

  "Bring it here." Gu Qingheng stretched out his good-looking hand, and Nian Qing handed the Rubik's Cube to him. He leaned in slightly, watching as he lowered his eyes, his slender fingers deftly turning the cube, correcting the mistakes she had made earlier, quickly matching up the colors.

  "You're really good at this." Qing said with emotion.

  For Gu Qingheng, this thing was really just a small toy, used to refresh his mind.

  Gu Qingheng slanted his eyes, the first time he saw Nian Qing take the initiative to get so close to him, her soft body almost leaning on his arm, with only him in her eyes, very moving.

  "Continue." Nian Qing urged, looking at Gu Qingheng who had stopped for no reason.

  Gu Qingheng suppressed his intense emotions and quickly matched the Rubik's Cube, leaving only one last step for Nian Qing: "The rest, you do it yourself."
