Chapter 98: The scent on you smells really good, I like it a lot

  Only Qing remains alone.

  He pulled down the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the bright office suddenly darkened, with an eerie atmosphere. He sat in a large armchair, his eyes fixed on Qing, sizing her up for a long time before asking in a strange tone: "Are you Gu Qingheng's mistress?"

  Mr. Huo, this question is a personal attack.

  Huo's face was filled with disapproval: "Then let me put it another way. Are you Gu Qingheng's bed partner, companion, or... cannon fodder?"

  The more you say, the more unbearable it becomes.

  Take a deep breath and think of scolding someone: "None of you, I'm just an employee in the company."

  Huo Zhe smiled lightly and chuckled.

  Things have come to this, and Nian Qing still wants to make excuses. Based on what Gu Qingheng did for her that day, their relationship must be one of these.

  "There's no one else here, you don't need to pretend anymore." Huo Zhi said, as he saw Ning Qing taking off her disguise.

  A 22-year-old university girl who has not graduated yet dares to play around between Gu Qingheng and Guan Shaoyu, it can be seen that she is quite skilled in dealing with men and knows how to pretend.

  Qing's hand was grasped tightly by someone, and she felt humiliated.

  "Mr. Huo, I think you've misunderstood. I'm just an ordinary employee, and General Manager Gu is a good boss to everyone. In work matters, I unconditionally obey him." Nian Qing found a reasonable explanation for the previous golf course incident and pushed all the responsibility onto Gu Qingheng.

  It's between Ho and Gu Qingheng's personal grudge, going to settle with him, what does it have to do with her!

  "Huo Zhi raised his arm: "Since that's the case, do you want to jump ship? Quit your job at Gu's company and come to mine. I'll take you out for good food and drink. It's better than being constantly harassed by Gu Qingheng."

  Knitting her brows in a frown, she couldn't understand what Huo meant by his words.

  Is it purely revenge against Gu Qingheng?

  "I clearly refused: 'I'm not familiar with Mr. Huo, and it's unrealistic to jump to your company to work. I don't have the ability to serve you either. I'm just an ordinary worker earning a living, and Gu's is a very good job, which I cherish.'"

  "Whatever you want." Huo Zhe raised an eyebrow, originally, it wasn't sincere anyway.

  He picked up his phone, pressed a few buttons, and smiled as he read Qing's message.

  Nian Qing's phone suddenly rang, she took it out and looked at it, it was a strange call, frowned.

  "This is my phone number, keep it safe." Huo nodded his own mobile phone and hooked a smile. "From now on, we'll be in touch often."

  "......Alright." Qing calmly saved Hao Zhi's phone number.

  She didn't ask him why he knew her phone number, if he wanted to know, there were always ways to find out. She was just an ordinary employee.

  "Go and meet up with Su Mei and the others." Huo stood up, walked to the coat rack, took down his suit jacket, and put it on.

  When leaving the office, Nian Qing asked thoughtfully: "I want to ask you a question."

  He turned sideways, looking at her with a face full of impatience, wanting her to speak quickly if she had something to say.

  Ning Qing said: "Do you know a man named Lu Chuan?"

  "I don't know." Huo Zhe replied without a hint of hesitation, as if he hadn't even thought about it.

  "Think carefully, it's the person you said played table tennis with him before." Nian Qing was not giving up. For Lu Chuan's matter, unless she got a result, she couldn't convince herself to give up.

  "It's that thing again." Huo Zhe's face turned gloomy, not wanting to mention it. "I don't know that person, if you don't want me to get angry then don't ask me again."

  After finishing speaking, Huo Zhi opened the office door and was about to leave. Suddenly thinking of something, he paused for a moment, looked at Nian Qing with a sly expression: "However, Gu Qinghe must know him, you can ask him."

  Jiang Wan's circle and Gu Qingheng's circle are connected. The people Jiang Wan knows, Gu Qingheng must also know. That man named Lu Shao should be an acquaintance in their circle. He has always been unable to integrate into their circle.

  He was stunned and did not dare to believe what Huo said!

  Does Gu Qingheng know Lu Chuan?

  ……

  Hotel.

  A group of colleagues from two companies gathered together for lunch.

  Nian Qing has been absent-minded all along, unable to muster up an appetite, and forced a smile to go along with everyone's joking topics.

  My mind is very confused.

  What Huo said made her recall her past with Luochuan incessantly.

  She and Lu Chuan had been together for nearly three years, she only knew that he had only one friend, Guan Shaozhu. She had met his mother, and at that time he lived in the old house at the intersection of Jinhu Road. This was the Lu Chuan she was familiar with.

  But after he disappeared, everything became false overnight.

  Guanshao Yan doesn't know where he went, his mother is fake, the old house was rented back by him, and the mobile phone number has also become an empty number...

  It was as if Lu Chuan had never existed.

  She was like having a very long beautiful dream with an unreal man and loving him for almost three years.

  She can't find Luochuan anywhere. Every word he said to her was a lie. He doesn't know Gu Qingheng, she really has no idea.

  However, the men's perfume on Gu Qingheng's body is really similar to what Lu Chuan used in the past.

  She used to think it was just a coincidence and didn't think much of it. But what Ho said made her unable not to associate, if Gu Qingheng knew Lu Chuan...

  My head is throbbing with pain.

  She picked up her water cup and drank the lemon water in it, said a word to her colleague beside her, got up from her seat and went to the restroom.

  Then dialed Guan Shaoyan's mobile phone number.

  She is now in a mess and urgently needs to ask someone who knows Luochuan for confirmation. Guan Shaoye knows Luochuan, and also knows Gu Qingheng, so... does it prove that Luochuan and Gu Qingheng are very likely to know each other?

  Guan Shaoyan's phone was occupied by someone else.

  Waited for 10 minutes and dialed again, but the other party was still busy.

  It seems that Guan Shaoren is really busy.

  Usually, the busier he is, the happier she is. But now, she really needs to hear his voice and get an answer from him!

  Can't get in touch with Guan Shaoyan at all.

  Ning Qing couldn't help but give up, acknowledging a fact that every time she needed Guan Shao's response, he would never give it to her.

  Dialing Gu Qingheng's phone number, Nian Qing hesitated and didn't dare to call.

  How can she ask? She can't even open her mouth.

  A few days ago, she had poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Qingheng without mercy. He was undoubtedly angry and hadn't looked for her in the past few days. They also hadn't seen each other again.

  Now she suddenly calls him to ask about Lu Chuan's affairs, which is slapping herself in the face, shameless!

  After hesitating for a long time, I really didn't dare to ask Gu Qingheng abruptly.

  First, she was unsure if Gu Qingheng really knew Lu Chuan.

  Secondly, she wanted to test Officer Shao Yan's tone first and try to ask Gu Qingheng after getting a sense of it.

  This man is very astute; if she rashly asks him, who knows, she might end up revealing her entire past to him, and it would be too easy for him to take advantage of her.

  Calm down the disturbed mind, wash your face, leave the bathroom and return to the dining area.

  Half an hour.

  Finish dinner and take the company car back to the company separately.

  ……

  Afternoon, Mr. Gu.

  The contract with Huo Zhi has been signed, but there is still some follow-up work to be done. After completing it, take it up for Gu Qingheng to sign, and the initial stage of this order will be considered complete. Then, wait for Huo Zhi's side to finish.

  Also, a long-term supervision.

  Ning Qing and Su Mei, as well as other colleagues who rushed back to the office, immediately became busy.

  Su Mei asked them to finish all the documents before they got off work, so she could submit them to Gu Qingheng for signature. All colleagues in the office were busy rushing to meet Su Mei's request, without even having time to drink water.

  Thinking of Qing's affairs is very heavy, and when working, his mind is a bit scattered.

  There were several places where obvious mistakes had been made. Fortunately, she reviewed them and found the errors in time to make corrections. Otherwise, if Su Mei saw them now, they would have been subject to a round of blame.

  It's almost time to get off work.

  Finally finished the work. Su Mei took the contract and went to find Gu Qingheng.

  Half an hour later, when she came down, her usual cold face had a very obvious smile, and she said to her colleagues in the office with a good mood: "General Guo said that during this period, we have worked hard. He booked several places at Junlan Hotel and let us go relax after work."

  Ning Qing was leaning on his office desk, drowsy, and upon hearing Su Mei's words, he had a bit of a reaction, wanting to say, "Can't we not go?"

  She's really not in the mood for fun now. But beside her, there are other colleagues' cheering voices, everyone is very happy. After signing Ho's contract, they can get a substantial bonus, and the big boss even booked a good venue to entertain them.

  The treatment is very good.

  She said she wouldn't go at this time, it would be very disappointing, didn't want to be out of place, forced a smile, followed everyone to applaud, tired but had to go out and play.

  This is a city with too fast a rhythm, no time for her, melancholy and hurt.

  ……

  Evening, Junlan Hotel.

  After everyone finished dinner, they went to the KTV on the hotel floor. Gu Qingheng had already booked a large room for them in advance. Everyone ate, drank and played there, and after drinking too much wine, they all started teasing each other.

  Nian Qing was forced to sing two songs, and then they drank heavily.

  Intentionally getting drunk, don't want to sing, headache, mood is also bad, drinking to drown sorrows is a good choice.

  Tonight, with so many colleagues around, she's not afraid of anything going wrong.

  I drank too much wine and need to go to the restroom.

  Nian Qing dialed Guan Shao Yan's number again in the restroom, but the other party was still busy.

  She really wanted to ask Officer Shao Yan who he was calling, and how he could keep calling from noon till night without stopping.

  He, is busy or idle?

  Nian washed her face, couldn't figure out Guan Shaozhuang, put away her phone, left the bathroom, and returned to the KTV room. When she went in, she found that the atmosphere inside seemed much calmer, everyone was a bit awkward, except for Su Mei.

  KTV room, light, a bit dark.

  She gently rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit tipsy, and lowered her head to look for something suitable to drink on the table. Suddenly, a colleague kicked her, she turned around to look at the other person, puzzled - after several seconds, she realized that the other person was winking at her.

  Knitting her brows clear, following the direction, looking over, suddenly, unexpectedly meeting the man's profound eyes, heartbeat, skipping a few beats.

  Stunned.

  She locked eyes with the man for a few seconds before suddenly realizing that Gu Qingheng was actually here. When did he arrive?

  "...... Mr. Gu." Nian Qing called out to Gu Qing Heng, her gaze somewhat fixed on his black shirt, her eyelid twitching.

  His temperament is very clear and warm when wearing a white shirt, but looks more serious in a black shirt.

  Why not wear white shirts anymore?

  "Hmm." Gu Qingheng nodded slightly, his hand holding a cup of red wine swaying gently. His movements and raised eyes all showed an air of nobility. "Don't stand, sit," he said, patting the spot beside him as he spoke to Nian Qing.

  Knitting her brows, she didn't want to sit next to Gu Qingheng, but looking around, there were no other seats available. Apart from Su Mei, it seemed like nobody dared to get close to Gu Qingheng.

  The position next to him is left for her by other colleagues...

  "I... I lost my bag, let me look for it first." Ning Qing said, asking her colleague beside her. Her colleague pointed to the direction of the small bar table and said that all the bags were piled up there.

  Nian Qing nodded, turned around and walked away - behind her back, there were profound eyes staring at her closely, she knew it was Gu Qingheng, but she didn't believe he dared to pull her over in this situation.

  Small bar counter.

  Ning Qing found her own bag, tidied up a bit, and squeezed into a spot with other colleagues. She didn't want to go back to Gu Qingheng's place and sit with him together.

  Very embarrassing.

  A colleague handed her a glass of wine, saying it was good to drink. Qing took it and drank it in one gulp, feeling a slight sweetness, which was quite good. She drank several more glasses in succession, really wanting to get drunk.

  Gu Qingheng is here, successfully disturbing her mind and giving her a lot of thoughts.

  It's been a few days since they last met, and she didn't think much of him, thinking she could face him calmly. But as soon as he appeared, just one glance from him made her heart skip a beat, and she became very flustered in front of him.

  Drank down several more cups of wine.

  There is a colleague named Nian Qing who can't drink anymore.

  She shook her head and didn't listen. She took out her phone, opened the banquet's phone number, and let her colleagues take note of it. When she got drunk later, they would call the banquet to come pick her up.

  That colleague who remembered the phone number of the banquet asked Nian Qing: "Why did you drink so much today? Are you too happy?"

  "...it's just too sad."

  She doesn't want to wake up.

  ……

  Gu Qingheng swirled the wine in his cup, his eyes darting to Nian Qing from time to time. He watched as she leaned against the small bar table, seemingly drunk or perhaps just exhausted.

  He was in a hotel, booking several rooms, considering letting Su Mei take her to rest first. There were others around, and he wasn't convenient to do it himself.

  The phone rang at this time.

  Gu Qingheng glanced at the telegram display, furrowed his brow, and instructed Su Mei to take care of Nianqing first, while he went out to receive a call.

  10 minutes.

  Ning Qing felt a bit nauseous after drinking, and wanted to go to the restroom. Su Mei walked over and said she would accompany her. Ning Qing shook her head repeatedly, smiling and saying it wasn't necessary, as she still wanted to make another call to Guan Shao Fu later, and having Su Mei with her would be inconvenient.

  Out of the room.

  Ning Qing leaned against the wall and took a few steps, her head spinning and her legs weakening, about to fall - when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her slender waist.

  "Why are you drinking so much?" Gu Qinghe put his arm around Nian Qing, his voice somewhat displeased.

  As soon as she left the room, he noticed her, hastily ending his phone call and following her. Sure enough, she was drunk to the point of almost falling over.

  She gazed at Qingheng with her misty eyes, and suddenly, her soft chest was pressed against his sturdy chest, she leaned on him actively, her voice was soft: "...... The smell on you is very nice, I like it."

  The same as He and Lu Chuan's.

  Gu Qing's body stiffened, his eyes deepened, and a sentence from Qing made him react. He tightly hugged the soft female body in his arms, unable to let go, knowing that their colleagues in the KTV room would come out at any moment and catch them.

  "Come with me to the room, I'll let you smell it clearly, huh?" Gu Qingheng's voice was hoarse, and he could no longer hold back.
