Jiang Ying walked into the restaurant and immediately saw Gu Chen sitting by the window.
"I seem to be late." Jiang Ying put the bag in her hand aside when she sat down, and when she turned sideways, her lengthy hair slid down her shoulders, and the black hair poured down and was pulled back with her movements.
Gu Chen glanced at his watch; he wasn't unhappy but said politely, "It's okay."
Jiang Ying smiled slightly, "Aren't you unhappy?"
Gu Chen shook his head, and he handed her the menu, "Order something."
Jiang Ying took the menu, opened it, and looked at it for a while, then pursed her lips and put the menu upright, put it on the table, covering the lower half of her face, showing a pair of bright eyes, staring at him intently, and said: " What do you like to eat?"
Gu Chen stared into her eyes for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth: "Just order what you like."
Gu Chen would eat anything; he didn't have anything he particularly liked; in his opinion, food was just something to fill his stomach, and he wouldn't be thrilled if he ate something delicious.
When the Gu family did not recognize him, he was still an orphan. He went to school and worked a few temporary jobs. It was common for him to be hungry. As long as he had something to eat, he was satisfied. Now he often needs to remember because of his busy work. He can't understand the behavior of queuing for hours for a good meal and going to another city to find good food.
In addition to socializing at work, he rarely invites people to have dinner together.
It was the first time two people had dinner together.
Jiang Ying: "Let's eat beef, fish, and a vegetable. Do you want soup?"
Gu Chen: "You can order a drink if you want."
Jiang Ying nodded and called the waiter.
After ordering, there seemed to be nothing to say. Jiang Ying sat on the sidelines, quietly playing with her mobile phone. Still, there appeared to be a tremendous electric current between the two of them, and there was no embarrassment at all, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious.
"I'm going to call you Mr. Gu from now on since I'm going to work in your company."
Gu Chen pondered for a while and seriously thought about what Jiang Ying said, "If you want."
Jiang Ying laughed, "Then I will ask Mr. Gu to promote me more in the future."
She reached out to pick up the cup on the table, "Tea instead of wine, I propose a toast to you."
Gu Chen also picked up his glass and clinked it with her.
His eyes were always on her; even when he drank tea, his eyes would drift toward her inadvertently.
She opened her lips slightly, and her lips were pressed against the cup. He could even imagine how soft her lips were.
When drinking tea, she raised her head, her chin was small and beautiful, her neck was graceful, and even the hand holding the cup looked like a work of art.
Gu Chen only felt dry mouth, frowned, and drank a cup of tea in one gulp.
But even so, he still felt thirsty and hot.
Gu Chen couldn't figure out what kind of thoughts he had about Jiang Ying.
After meeting Jiang Ying at the bar that day, he dreamed about Jiang Ying when he returned.
The content is naturally indescribable, but he hasn't had this kind of dream for many years, and when he woke up, the reaction was a bit big, and he felt surprised.
Later, he couldn't control his behavior even when he was working; as long as he was free, Jiang Ying seemed to be the first person he thought of.
His gaze changed from calm to hot, especially when he saw Jiang Ying's lips moistened with tea, and her tongue could be vaguely seen between her slightly parted lips.
[Gu Chen's greed value increased by eight points. ]
When his heart beat faster and faster, Gu Chen secretly reminded himself that enough was enough, so he looked away inadvertently.
But it didn't seem to work; even if he didn't look at Jiang Ying, all his attention was on her.
After dinner, Gu Chen asked Jiang Ying if she would like to visit the company so that she could learn about the project today, and when she wants to join the job, she can come to work directly.
Jiang Ying agreed since she had nothing to do.
Gu Chen doesn't drive, so he sits in the back seat with Jiang Ying.
Although the space inside the car is large enough, Gu Chen's legs are too long, making him feel a little cramped when sitting upright. In comparison, Jiang Ying can fully extend her legs, and the difference is even more apparent.
Before, Jiang Ying thought that Gu Chen was tall; he should be 1.9 meters tall. But, looking at his legs now, she thought, maybe two-thirds of the 1.9 meters are legs.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Chen sharply noticed that Jiang Ying was staring at his legs, but he had no idea that Jiang Ying was lamenting his long legs, so he asked directly.
Jiang Ying said: "Your trousers are dirty; it seems that there is a little dust on them; please wipe them off."
Her face didn't change when she said this, and she didn't feel strange at all.
Gu Chen looked down at his pants carefully, but he didn't find anything dirty.
He glanced at Jiang Ying suspiciously, saw a smile in her eyes, and realized that she might have deceived him.
But the feeling doesn't seem bad at all.
"You and Jiang Yue have been married for so long; it seems like it was the first time we had dinner together a few days ago." Jiang Ying said.
When Gu Chen heard Jiang Ying mentioning Jiang Yue, he frowned slightly, "Yeah."
"Jiang Yue always said that you are so busy that you don't even have time to go home."
For Gu Chen, the house with Jiang Yue couldn't be called home. It was just a residence he bought for Jiang Yue when he got married and was barely called a wedding room. He never regarded it as his own. Even if it is a rest, I will not go back.
Sometimes he would rather live in the office than go back and see Jiang Yue.
In the beginning, the Gu family proposed marriage to cooperate with the Jiang family. At that time, it was also because Jiang Yue was only an adopted daughter, and the people of the Gu family did not want to marry her, so they thought of him as an illegitimate child.
Gu Chen also endured humiliation. In just a year and a half, he has changed from an illegitimate child to the Gu family's ruler. Those who used to look down on him now all rely on him.
Two years are coming soon, and the agreement between him and Jiang Yue is about to expire.
Divorce is inevitable; I just need to wait a few more months.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help being a little annoyed.
