Alice walked towards Gu Anxin and didn’t know what she said.
Gu Anxin looked at Ling Yue, a little surprised.
After hesitating for a moment, she followed Alice and got into the car.
But she didn’t say hello to Ling Yue, or even look at him.
The neon lights that flashed across from time to time illuminated her face again and again. When the lights turned on and off, they felt particularly alienated from each other.
Ling Yue could maintain this sense of alienation from others, but this others would never include her.
He held her hand, but Gu Anxin’s fingers seemed to freeze and she retracted firmly. For some reason, Ling Yue’s touch made her nose sore.
Ling Yue frowned when he saw that she actually refused his touch, and grabbed her hand again with an aura that could not be refused. This time, it was like an iron hoop, tightening its hold and not allowing rejection!
Gu Anxin struggled for a moment and gave up.
He was always like this, extremely overbearing when he said anything.
“Are you still angry because I didn’t go to your colleague’s wedding banquet?” Ling Yue asked her.
Gu Anxin chuckled, “How dare I.”
He said he didn’t have time. Did he mean he didn’t have time or just didn’t want to go? How could she not hear it?
He looked down on her friends and didn’t want to be with them. All the circumstances pointed to one problem: he was very casual about this relationship.
She had seen through it at first, but recently, she had increased her expectations because of his gentleness and her getting along with him day and night.
Now it seemed that it was right not to look forward to anything.
Alice saw the tension between the two and glanced at Ling Yue worriedly.
Ling Yue didn’t seem to know how to coax women. Could he do it in this situation?
“It’s not what you think.” Ling Yue tightened his hand and let her feel his presence, “When I finish this time, I will accompany you to attend any party, okay?”
Ling Yue spoke with a cautious tenderness.
When Alice heard this, she knew something was going on.
She didn’t expect that her boss, who was not very good at coaxing women, could learn it by himself without a teacher.
But Gu Anxin remained depressed, neither refuting nor accepting his words.
After returning home, Gu Anxin began to arrange her bouquet.
This bouquet was made of real flowers. Although it is tasteless if she kept it, it would be a pity to throw it away.
Ling Yue saw that she was so attached to a bouquet of flowers and his eyes burned, “Who gave it to you?”
Gu Anxin paused and said, “A man.”
Ling Yue pulled her over and forced her to look directly into his eyes, “Say it again.”
How dare she accept flowers from other men?
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Gu Anxin said deliberately. “Others are dating for the purpose of getting married. What about you? Aren’t you delaying me a little?”
Ling Yue blurted out, “I’m also dating you with the purpose of getting married! What is the delay?”
“Oh?” Gu Anxin smiled, “Then let’s get the certificate tomorrow?”
Seeing her teasing smile, Ling Yue knew that the flowers and the other thing about a man sending them were fake.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned when he heard the word “receive the certificate”.
Gu Anxin: “Look, you have never thought about getting married.”
Ling Yue grinded his back molars.
He really hadn’t thought about getting married yet. The struggle for power was not over yet, so why would he consider this?
Gu Anxin smiled to herself. Although she already knew the answer, she still felt a little chilled.
Ling Yue was most afraid of her dead expression, so he dragged her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
But no matter how much they talked about what he could not give now, it would be in vain.
“In the future, I will definitely marry you.” He said.
“You men really like to make promises.” Gu Anxin curled her lips. She felt a little breathless and broke away from Ling Yue’s arms. “Third brother, you can rest. I have to stay up all night today to catch up on the manuscript.”
Ling Yue felt her rejection and paused.
What he feared most was this, she was too calm, as if she could exclude him from her life at any time.
“What are you making a fuss about? I will definitely do what I promised.” Ling Yue had always kept his promises.
Just now, he thought about marriage with her and found that he actually had some expectations.
Looking forward to becoming a real family with her.
And she didn’t even take such an important promise seriously!
Ling Yue squeezed her shoulders tightly, his eyes deepening, as if he wanted to see through her.
“Hiss…” Gu Anxin felt pain and pushed him away, “I’m not making a fuss. I have to submit the manuscript tomorrow. I’m really busy today!”
After saying that, she turned around and went to her workbench.
Ling Yue gritted his teeth, feeling that the woman was complicated. One moment she was looking forward to receiving the certificate, but the next moment he gave her a promise but she didn’t want it.
Gu Anxin was lying on the drawing board, and in her peripheral vision was Ling Yue’s figure walking back and forth.
She was thinking about the next comic plot.
Her manuscript was based on Ling Yue, but now that their relationship was tense, her inspiration was also lost.
Her thoughts were stuck.
She casually sketched the outline of Ling Yue in her hand.
Suddenly she felt that her comic was so boring.
The male protagonist was noble and arrogant, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, while the female protagonist had an ordinary background, one in heaven and one on earth. Such two people would never get together in real life!
Originally she was overjoyed to find a CEO golden son-in-law, but now Gu Anxin had begun to picture a tragic ending.
It was so awful.
