Chapter 83: Additional Updates and Monthly Tickets Gu Qingheng was secretly pining for someone in a pitiful manner.

  "I didn't admit it, although he suspected me, but couldn't do anything to me." Nian Qing said this with a strange feeling in her heart. It was as if she were summarizing the experience of stealing and having an affair with Gu Qingheng.

  "You did the right thing." Gu Qingheng nodded, turning to Nianqing and giving his guarantee: "I won't let him have a way to prove it was you, he won't succeed, you don't need to worry."

  Nian Qing put down his heart.

  Gu Qingheng obviously had been prepared for a long time and the officials couldn't prove anything against him.

  It's possible that Gu Qingheng's protective attitude made her feel more clearly in her heart - as if she and he were people on the same boat, sharing honor and disgrace together.

  Is it like this?

  Nian Qing thought to herself: Gu Qingheng's pursuit is very enchanting, his attitude also makes people infatuated. But Nian Qing, what identity are you using to stand by Gu Qingheng's side, and what identity do you want to play by his side?

  "A chill ran down my spine as I suddenly became clear-headed: 'This kind of thing is immoral, and we shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Not getting caught was just luck, but if someone finds out, you'll be fine, but I...I won't be able to show my face. Hope you don't do this again in the future.'"

  "You're angry." Gu Qingheng was affirmative, his gaze fixed on Jingqing.

  He has been watching her all the time, remembering every emotion of hers. Now she is in a bad mood, unhappy and angry, because of him.

  "Sorry, it was my fault."

  He apologized and repented in general.

  Never thought of making her unhappy.

  The moment he saw her, he had a crush on her, and later his liking for her became a matter of course, without needing any reason to explain.

  The first time, so obsessed, alone.

  But she was so young, much younger than him, and no one would have allowed it, they would have thought he was crazy.

  Only, always hidden.

  Always wanting her, always waiting for her to discover him, but never able to have her.

  There are always so many things that cannot be done.

  Gu Qingheng grasped Qing's hand tightly: "Don't be angry with me, I'll be scared."

  A clear mind has a strong tremble, with a very obvious feeling, passing by, leaving a mark.

  Indeed, 32-year-old Gu Qingheng has long passed the age of apology. In Qing City, there are not many people who can bear his apologies. But now, he is apologizing, putting aside his identity, and sincerely apologizing to her, who is 10 years younger than him.

  Can't say, no feeling at all.

  "Gu Qingheng, don't say that, you're great, everything about you is good, it's me who's not good enough, I'm not worthy of you. Someone with your noble status really shouldn't be doing something like this, and even more so, shouldn't like someone like me. We're just not compatible, we're from two different worlds. I...I only have myself to rely on, I don't have anyone else to depend on, I can't afford to make a single mistake, if I do, no one will help me."

  A clear voice, gradually becoming hoarse, was weak, wanting to cry, but she didn't allow herself to cry.

  "Please keep a distance from me." She was really afraid, afraid that if she and Gu Qingheng continued to entangle with each other, she would be driven to the end of her rope and unable to extricate herself.

  "No way." Gu Qingheng refused, his handsome face set in a strong expression, not the gentle man he usually was: "You can rely on me, I'll help you, I won't let you go astray, I'll always be with you, I don't want to be distant from you."

  "How can you not understand!" Nian Qing was forced to be anxious, shook off Gu Qing Heng's hand, and leaned against the office door, wanting to leave.

  Ignore, don't care, and don't respond to Gu Qingheng's feelings.

  He is 10 years older than her, so smart, so fierce, and understands more than her. What she says, he must also understand very well, why can't he just let her have her way?

  Why does he still insist on being obstinate despite knowing it won't work!

  Ning Qing really wanted to cry, and had no choice but to lay out all her own miserable circumstances: "You and I are incomparable, we're not a match. I don't want to be the third party, nor do I want to be an illicit lover that can't see the light of day. What kind of response do you want me to give you? You yourself clearly can't offer me anything either!"

  "I like you, I like you so much that I can't move my eyes away from you. I couldn't control myself to get close to you. For you, I can do anything! Now, I'm not worthy of you, but in the future, I will definitely be worthy of you!" He confessed deeply, bitterly, and sincerely.

  Gu Qingheng was in a desperate situation, secretly in love with someone.

  My mind went blank and exploded with a loud buzz, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

  Tears fell without realizing it.

  "Don't cry." Gu Qingheng's soft whisper sounded in her ear.

  His lips kissed her ear, her face, her tears, and finally covered her lips, as if dying in an embrace.

  Irresistible.

  Ning Qing couldn't think clearly, slowly closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and for the first time truly accepted Gu Qingheng's kiss. She had no strength to push him away anymore.

  His kiss was not unfamiliar to her.

  He was never overbearing or rude, but his kiss contained a very strong emotion, very thick and deep.

  Every time she kissed him, she felt like she was going to drown in it the next second.

  It feels like I might not be able to get out of this situation.

  "Knock knock", someone was knocking on the door outside the office.

  It could be Duanyu, it could be Daqi, or it could be other colleagues.

  Ning Qing heard the knock on the door, and Gu Qingheng also heard it. Reason told them that they should stop.

  But this kiss cannot end, cannot stop, rationality has been lost, and instead, the deeper they kiss, the more they ignore the people outside the door.

  Qing's hands rose, her white hands grasped Gu Qingheng's broad shoulders, it was unclear whether she wanted him to stop or continue.

  At this moment, she really couldn't think of anything and acted out of instinct.

  The person outside the door, possibly an acquaintance of Gu Qingheng's, seeing that he didn't respond, opened the door himself.

  The door opened a slight gap, Qing was leaning against it with some pressure.

  Gu Qingheng furrowed his brow tightly, and with a forceful push of his arm, the door "slammed shut" again.

  No one is allowed to disturb him and recite the scriptures!

  Kiss, continue.

  Gu Qingheng tightly hugged Nian Qing, wishing he could give her more, unable to stop, from the moment he saw her, he couldn't stop.

  The person outside was also tactful and didn't knock on the door again or open it, guessing that Gu Qingheng was inside and had something inconvenient to deal with.

  What could it be that makes Gu Qingheng so uncomfortable? This is really hard to guess.

  ……

  Afternoon, at work.

  Nian Qing stared at the computer for a long time, motionless, lost in thought.

  Someone is taking her picture from behind.

  She turned around to see a colleague from the neighboring workstation, who was senior to her - "What are you daydreaming about? I've called you several times, but you didn't respond."

  Qing forced out a smile. "I didn't hear anything."

  A colleague handed her a document: "Help me print out this copy and give it back to me later."

  "Mm." Nian Qing nodded, her head heavy and her feet light.

  "Excuse me, are you okay? Your face is so red. Is the air conditioning not enough?"

  Nian Qing shook her head, covered her face with her hand, and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "Maybe I didn't wake up from my noon nap, I'll go to the bathroom to wash my face and wake myself up."

  Colleagues seeing her dazed expression also thought: "Well, go ahead."

  Walk out of the office and go to the bathroom.

  Nian washed her face several times, and the temperature on her face dropped slightly, but her head was still dizzy.

  Gazing blankly at herself in the mirror, her pale hand touched her lips that had been kissed, unable to control her thoughts, repeatedly replaying in her mind the kiss with Gu Qingheng just now.

  She can't deny it, she was also indulged in it just now.

  Tightening the faucet, Qing Na took out a handkerchief and wiped the water off her face, wondering to herself - what was her relationship with Gu Qingheng now?

  He said he can't afford it now, but will give it to her later. What does he want to give her?

  What does she want Gu Qingheng to give her?

  His person, his heart, or perhaps, even more greedy...

  Nian Qing, you're shameless!

  Very confusing.

  Ning Qing leaned against the ceramic tile wall, curled up her white fingers, and patted her forehead one by one, sighing.

  She didn't mean for it to be like this. She thought that after she and Gu Qingheng laid their cards on the table and talked things through, he would give up on her. But instead, she ended up getting herself stuck in deeper.

  Because he said he liked her, liked her so much...

  It's very lucky to be liked by such a charming man.

  ……

  When leaving the bathroom, Qing Biao bumped into Su Mei who had just come down from Gu Qingheng's office.

  Both parties were stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say.

  Just now, outside Gu Qingheng's office door, the person who opened the door was Su Mei.

  Ning Qing didn't dare think about it, but after she and Gu Qingheng finished kissing, the moment they opened the door, how did Su Mei look at her.

  At that time, the ambiguous atmosphere between her and Gu Qingheng was too strong to be concealed.

  Su Mei will definitely be able to understand it.

  She is extremely embarrassed.

  "I..."

  "You..."

  Two people spoke at the same time.

  Ning Qing let Su Mei speak first, after all, Su Mei was her female superior.

  "Are you an orphan?" Su Mei asked.

  Knit one's brows in concentration.

  Su Mei's question was undoubtedly impolite and beyond her expectation.

  But she couldn't see Su Mei's malice and nodded honestly.

  She was indeed an orphan and was adopted by the Nian family.

  Su Mei smiled shallowly: "I am also an orphan, and I have been receiving the kindness of the Gu family all along. In the past, the charity work done by the Gu family did not include this aspect of orphanages, but later on, they began to pay attention to it. It was still Mr. Gu who personally took charge of it, and until now, he is still persisting."

  Ning Qing nodded, but actually didn't quite understand what Su Mei meant by her words - "Yeah, he's a good man."

  "Yes, General Gu is a very good person, so good that it's hard to forget. All along, many women have wanted to stay by his side, no matter what identity they use." Su Mei could never forget her first meeting with Gu Qingheng, he smiled at her from afar, gentle and elegant.

  He was elegant with everyone, but she knew that Gu Qingheng was out of reach.

  Smiling silently, without saying a word.

  Among many women, including Su Mei? Yes, it includes.

  Afterwards, Su Mei said a lot of things, but Qing Mo couldn't quite grasp what she meant.

  She has a crush on Gu Qingheng, Su Mei.

  She didn't know how Su Mei viewed her, but she also couldn't help but view Su Mei in a certain way. Gu Qingheng was a good man and an excellent one at that, so it wasn't unreasonable for Su Mei to admire him.

  Ning Qing licked her lips, and on top of them was the taste of Gu Qingheng.

  She was afraid and couldn't sincerely wish Gu Qingheng and other women well.

  ……

  After work hours.

  The whole afternoon was absent-minded and some work was not completed.

  She intends to stay and finish before leaving. Anyway, tonight Yan Zi has to work overtime, she's not in a hurry to go home, and also needs to avoid Guan Shao Zhuo for a while.

  Better late than never.

  Other colleagues left one by one, and the office was very quiet.

  Ning Qing gradually regained his composure and focused on his work. He finished everything quickly by 6:30.

  Reorganize it.

  Ning Qing took a sip of water and sent a text message to Yan Zi, then packed up and prepared to leave.

  The phone rang at this time.

  The phone rang, and three words appeared on the screen - Gu Qingheng.

  A name that strikes at the heart.

  Qing subconsciously licked his lips and picked up the phone.

  “……”

  "Uh, I haven't left yet."

  “……”

  "......Alright."

  End call.

  Qing was dazed, Gu Qingheng asked her to go to the underground parking lot and send her home, by the way, to pick up his suit. In fact, it's not that troublesome, she can bring it back to the company tomorrow and return it to him.

  But forgot to refuse him.

  ……

  Underground parking garage.

  Gu Qingheng's car, Nian Qing recognized it, she had ridden in it several times before, but this time the driver was not Duanwu, it was him himself.

  He personally sent her home.

  Gu Qingheng was smiling, she saw him being happy?

  On the road, the two of them were silent, neither mentioning what had happened at noon. In the silence, many thoughts could emerge.

  Some things, once they happen, have happened. Some words, once spoken, are remembered. That kiss, imprinted on each other's minds, that feeling, seared into each other's hearts, the memory is crystal clear, and cannot be shaken off.

  Ning Qing was a bit afraid to look directly at Gu Qing Heng. Suddenly, she remembered something: "Before we get to my place, can you stop the car for a moment?"

  Gu Qing nodded and asked warmly: "Is there something you want to buy?"

  Ning Qing shook his head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Your suit is still at the laundry shop, I'll go pick it up."

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Didn't you say it was washed clean?"

  Ning Qing smiled and told the truth: "It's been washed clean, but I kept forgetting to pick it up."

  "It's clear you're not taking my affairs seriously." Gu Qingheng's voice couldn't be heard with anger, but rather with a hint of teasing.

  The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

  "It's not that, I'm just busy." Nian Qing explained a bit, being busy was naturally due to Guan Shaozhu's entanglement. The flowers he sent this afternoon, she didn't dare bring down, letting Gu Qingheng see them, feeling it wasn't quite right.

  "Busy with official business, and then forget about me?" Gu Qingheng was very clear what Nian Qing had been busiest with these past few days.

  It seems like that's what happened.

  Ning Qing didn't say anything.

  Gu Qingheng furrowed his brow and gazed at the vehicle in front with a piercing stare: "Don't mind him, he won't last much longer."

  "Mm." Nian Qing nodded in agreement, thinking the same thing.

  But recently, Guan Shaoye gave her a strange feeling.

  He wasn't like this before, his attitude towards her had always been laid-back. Like a master and his pet, when he thought of her, he would call her over to play for a bit, then he'd go back to his life and she'd go back to hers, their lives were unrelated.

  Now...

  It seems that Guan Shaoye's attitude towards her became more and more intense after Gu Qingheng appeared.

  Qing's eyes narrowed as he gazed at Gu Qing's elegant profile, his brow furrowed in concern. Did he and Guan Shaoye have a disagreement?

  "What's on your mind?" Gu Qingheng asked.

  "I wonder what will happen to your suit... " Qing has been worried for several days, wondering if the people at that store would mishandle it."

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, his handsome face very gentle as he smiled.

  I like this kind of Nian Qing, who will say a little bit of true words to him.

  ……

  Got off the bus.

  She went to the laundry shop to pick up her suit, and after the people in the store searched for a long time, they finally found it. As she was about to leave, one of them said, "We thought you didn't want it anymore since you hadn't come to pick it up for so long."

  Nian Qing hurriedly said with a smile, "Want, must want."

  This suit is expensive, if you don't want it, her salary will be deducted a lot again.

  Ning Qing took back Xi Zhuang's suit, but didn't immediately return it to Gu Qingheng. Instead, she invited him to come up to her place and sit for a bit - out of politeness, after all, he had personally driven her home, so it wouldn't be right to just let him leave like that. Moreover, she wanted to check his suit to see if the laundry had damaged it anywhere, so she could make a note of it.

  Gu Qingheng accepted the invitation.

  Arrived home, opened the door.

  Ning Qing went into the kitchen first to boil water, she was used to drinking hot water. When Yang Zi came back home and wanted to cook instant noodles, Ning Qing had to prepare it for him.

  Before long, the water boiled.

  Ning Qing poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingheng and handed it to him: "Have some tea."

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow and took it over, his eyes deep and smiling: "Last time, you only gave me cold water to drink."

  It's really embarrassing.

  Last time, there was no hot water at home, she was too lazy to get some and also had a bit of an attitude towards Gu Qingheng, thinking that he would leave after drinking. Now... it's convenient.

  Qing Heng finished drinking a cup, and Qing Nian poured him another one, making up for the last time, feeling sorry.

  "What about her?" Gu Qingheng asked.

  "Yan Zi has to work overtime tonight," said Nian Qing. Here, apart from her, there was only Yan Zi.

  The tea in his mouth had changed flavor, Gu Qingheng's eyes slightly dimmed, his Adam's apple moved as he swallowed.

  "I'll take a look at your suit first," said Nian Qing to him, opening the outer garment bag of the suit, taking it out and examining it.

  Gu Qingheng put down his teacup, unable to drink anymore, it was too hot and couldn't quench his thirst. Looking at Nianqing stroking his suit, it seemed as if her pale small hands were stroking his body, his throat felt parched.

  "How much does this suit cost?" Nian Qing asked casually, somewhat curious.

  "Wait a minute." Gu Qingheng's voice was slightly hoarse.

  He took out his mobile phone, searched for a while, and finally found the number he wanted, then dialed it.

  Nian Qing didn't think much of it, assuming he had an urgent matter and wanted to make a phone call.

  Gu Qingheng was talking on the phone, and suddenly heard something that made him pause, checking his Western-style suit with a somewhat dazed expression.

  Gu Qingheng quickly ended the call and turned to Nianqing, saying: "I also forgot how much this suit costs. I just made a phone call to ask someone, and they said it's 8,000."

  The mind is clear at the moment, but the mood is a bit complicated.

  She casually asked him, he forgot, saying that he forgot is enough, no need to make a special call or ask, is it important? In fact, not at all.

  "... truly precious." Nian Qing sighed with emotion.
