Translator: 549690339 |
Rong Qianchen would occasionally glance at the girl next to him. He didn’t know if his feelings for her being different from other girls has something to do with the fact that she once saved his life. All he knew was that his heart always seemed to race whenever he looked at her.
Seeing that she was upset, he cleared his throat and awkwardly introduced himself, “I haven’t told you my name yet, have I? I’m Rong Qianchen.”
Gu Qingxin looked over at the man. His name suited him well. She only had a fleeting glimpse of his face that time in the bathroom and didn’t get a good look. However, when she saw him again, he gave her a clean, undisturbed vibe.
“My name is Gu Qingxin.”
“I know your name.” Rong Qianchen tried to smile, but seemed to think of something and stopped halfway.
“How do you know?” Gu Qingxin felt her question was a bit silly since he had just referred to her as Miss Gu. She quickly added, “Are … are your injuries better?”
“They’ve healed completely now. Thank you for not talking about how we met.”
Gu Qingxin had almost forgotten about that encounter. If it hadn’t been for him saving her yesterday, she probably wouldn’t have recalled it.
“You actually have a nice smile. There’s no need to always hold it back.”
“Really? You’re the second person who’s told me that.” Rong Qianchen finally allowed himself to smile slightly.
“Why?” Gu Qingxin looked at him skeptically. His smile was very attractive, on par with Beiming Han. Could it be that no one else has ever complimented his smile?
In a car following Rong Qianchen’s, three men and a woman sat. One of them exclaimed with surprise, “The boss smiled! The boss smiled again! Oh my god! What magic does this girl possess to make the boss smile? I’ve been with him for over a decade and have never seen him smile!”
A woman gave the guy a cold look, slapped him on the back of the head, and said icily, “Shut up!”
“Focus on ensuring the boss’ safety! Stop messing around!” Wu Hen ordered in a cold voice.
Gu Qingxin took Rong Qianchen to a small restaurant. Although it was small, it was very clean.
They sat by a window after they entered.
Rong Qianchen looked quizzically at the girl in front of him, “Actually, you could have asked me to treat you to a meal. You saved me too.”
Gu Qingxin was taken aback, “It was just lending a hand. Moreover… I am sort of afraid of courting trouble.”
She had worried for a while after saving him and only calmed down after realizing there were no consequences.
How could she dare to ask him for a meal in return!
“Do you always speak so straightforwardly?” Rong Qianchen looked at her with interest. Although this girl’s words could be somewhat rude, they somehow didn’t offend him. On the contrary, he inexplicably liked it.
“Yeah, that’s why I’m not very popular.” Gu Qingxin laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Why? 1 think you’re great the way you are!” Rong Qianchen could see she was unhappy and said, “How about, 1 perform a magic trick for you?”
“You can do magic?” Gu Qingxin looked at him in surprise.
“If I do well, can you stop looking so troubled?”
Rong Qianchen asked for a red cloth from a waiter. He simply placed it over his hand, gave it a shake, and when he removed it, a cute puppy appeared in his hand..
