The atmosphere in the office was extremely tense. Gong Yu Ning released He Lingchu"s arm and said, "I"ll go back to the hotel first! See you later. "
"I"ll walk you out." He Lingchu gently said to her.
"No need, I"ll go down myself! My bodyguard is right at the door, why don"t you greet your cousin! " Gong Yuning pursed his lips into a smile, and walked towards the door, pa.s.sing by Shangguan Ning Man.
She could clearly feel Shangguan Ning Man"s gaze, and she could feel him gritting his teeth. Gong Yuning was helpless, she did not want to offend her either! However, she had gone too far just now. Even someone with her personality wouldn"t be able to tolerate it.
He Lingchu looked at Gong Yuning"s figure, he was reluctant to let her leave by herself, so he immediately chased after her, "I"ll send you down."
Shangguan Ning Man"s expression became even more unsightly. She was clearly a living person, yet He Lingchu did not even entertain her properly. Instead, she took the initiative to send her off.
"Cousin, what should I do!" Shangguan Ning Man puffed his cheeks and asked in dissatisfaction.
"Wait for me in the lounge!" If there"s nothing else, you can leave first. " He Lingchu said somewhat helplessly to her, usually when Shangguan Ning Man came to find him, he did not have any proper business.
"I don"t want it. I just want to wait here for you." Shangguan Ning Man slightly snorted, and said willfully.
"In my office. Don"t touch anything." He Lingchu warned her.
Shangguan Ning Man did not reply, and walked to the sofa at the side. When Gong Yuning came out of the door, He Lingchu put his arm around her shoulders, "I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin, what she said just now was too much."
Gong Yuning"s eyebrows curved into a smile, "I"m fine. Maybe she really misunderstood me. As long as you explain everything clearly, that"s enough."
The more magnanimous she was, the more He Lingchu felt pain in his heart, and he hoped that she wouldn"t feel wronged by others.
Entering the elevator, Gong Yuning also felt slightly embarra.s.sed. He felt that the heavens were determined to oppose them.
He Lingchu clasped his ten fingers tightly, a little worried about her emotions.
Arriving at the door, He Lingchu sent her to the car, then watched as her car left before turning back to return to the hall.
He Lingchu returned to his office. Shangguan Ning Man was playing with her mobile, and when she saw him enter, she immediately changed her att.i.tude and called out to him sweetly, "Ling Chu Ge, you"re back. I"ve been waiting for you!"
He Lingchu looked at her with a hint of regret in his eyes, "Ning Man, you should be sensible now, do you know how vicious your words are?"
Shangguan Ning Man"s face turned aggrieved, she bit her lips, "I"m sorry! I don"t know her, so of course I"d think she was a fox spirit or something! "
"Say it again." He Lingchu"s face immediately became cold and angry.
Shangguan Ning Man immediately stopped talking, she knew that she had truly angered He Lingchu.
It was all that Gong Yuning"s fault. It was because of her that she spoke randomly and angrily, causing the Ling Chu Ge to reprimand him. It was all her fault.
"I"m sorry, Ling Chu Ge, I was wrong." Shangguan Ning Man lowered his eyes and apologized softly.
"Let"s go back!" I have work to do. " He Lingchu"s voice clearly carried a trace of anger within it.
Shangguan Ning Man could only turn around and leave, but her pitiful expression immediately changed after exiting the office. She no longer had the look of admitting her wrongs anymore, she squinted her eyes, a ruthless light shot out from her eyes, she grinded her teeth and snorted, "Gong Yuning, I won"t let you off."
Gong Yuning returned to the hotel, after cleaning up the salutation box, she sat on the balcony to enjoy the scenery. Although she was scolded by Shangguan Ning Man the moment she arrived, it did not affect her good mood.
From the hotel, she could just see the gigantic building that looked like a mountain under the blue sky and white clouds. That was He Lingchu"s company.
Not long after, Gong Yuning received a call from An Delu. He had just boarded the plane and came over, so he might arrive tonight.
Unknowingly, it was already 5 PM. Gong Yuning"s phone rang, she picked it up and saw that it was He Lingchu calling.
"Hey!" She picked it up with a sweet smile.
"At the hotel? I came to pick you up and take you to the restaurant. " He Lingchu"s low voice came out.
"Yes, have you ordered a dining room?"
"Hm!" "It"s not far from your hotel. I"ll come over now."
"Alright!" Gong Yuning answered in an expectant tone.
At around 5: 40, He Lingchu arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Gong Yuning was already waiting for him there.
Looking at the black sports car, she laughed as she opened the door of the copilot and sat down.
"Is your cousin mad at me?" After sitting down, Gong Yuning could not help but ask.
She must be his relative, and she didn"t want to offend the people on his side.
"No, don"t take it to heart." He Lingchu comforted her, he did not want her to feel any pressure in her heart.
When Gong Yuning finished listening, he was also relieved. He arrived at the restaurant, which was a very high-end private restaurant.
When he was ordering, He Lingchu ordered everything according to Gong Yuning"s preference. Gong Yuning watched him order six consecutive dishes towards the waiter.
He Lingchu pa.s.sed the menu to her, "Let me show you again, add in whatever you want to eat."
Gong Yuning couldn"t help but laugh and shake his head, "If you want to order, I like it. No need to order anymore, okay!? Add one to what you like. "
With that, Gong Yuning picked up the menu, ordered a row of fish and handed it over to the waiter.
While waiting for the dishes, Gong Yuning held the teacup and watched the beautiful night scenery outside through the French window. Her mood was extraordinarily wonderful; she was a person who liked beautiful things. Her happiness often came from simple and beautiful things.
He Lingchu, who was facing her, crossed her hands in front of her chest as a profound gaze gently locked onto her. After not seeing her for a month, she had returned to his side.
"What are you looking at me for!" Gong Yuning ran into his gaze and asked with a shy smile as he pursed his lips.
"I just want to see you." He Lingchu"s thin lips moved slightly. To him, there was a kind of charisma that he wouldn"t be able to see enough in his entire life.
For some people, it was best to not be emotional. The moment one was emotional, one"s heart would be filled with deep love.
He was this kind of person. Before 27 years ago, his feelings were completely blank, and there had never been a woman"s figure that appeared. Now, he was living in Gong Yuning"s place.
"How"s the wound on your shoulder?" Gong Yuning asked with concern, it must have been because of her injuries.
"It"s fine now. It"s not a big problem." He Lingchu gave a casual smile, "Are you still angry at me for the misunderstanding from before?"
"It"s your cousin who"s going to pick up your phone! I"m not angry anymore. " Gong Yuning had personally seen Shangguan Ning Man today, and had also experienced her vicious language attacks. The words he had heard last time on the phone, was not strange at all.
