Chapter 1145
I froze for a moment and spoke, “There’s no garage or storage under that part of the base, what’s wrong?”
He frowned slightly, “Usually in a building like that, there’s usually something inside!”
Probably thinking of something, he stopped talking and looked at me after a moment of silence and said, “Want to join us for lunch?”
I shook my head, “No, I ……”
“You’re just going to keep avoiding me like that?” He raised an eyebrow, “After all, it is a partner, I think partners fingertip each other about a meal, is not something to be ashamed of, right?”
Knowing his nature, if I push on like this, he will more than likely just stay with me and grind, so, I nod, “Well, there’s food behind the base in a bit, but it’s not very hearty, barely enough to fill my stomach, because there’s still work in the afternoon and it’s a waste of time to run too much to eat!”
He nodded, “OK!”
The restaurant at the back of the base, not very big, because it was temporarily built for the convenience of the staff working at the base, the hotel was too far away from the base, it would take more than an hour to run back and forth, after so much time delayed on the road, it was able to let the staff rest for a while longer.
So Mu Shen had someone set up a temporary restaurant behind the base and found an aunt to cook for the staff, which was also quite convenient.
Finding a seat, Gu Han placed the juice he had gotten from somewhere in front of me and spoke, “Freshly squeezed!”
I nodded my head and responded, “Thanks!”
As I ate, I kept my head down and ate quietly, and Gu Han didn’t seem to have much to say.
After eating, there was still a while before work, I originally thought of going back to the office to take a break, but he said, “You should have been here for a long time, why don’t you show me around and take a break from eating.”
I pursed my lips and said lightly, “You can go by yourself, there are fruit groves all around here.” Then he was ready to go straight to the office.
I frowned at him as he pulled my wrist, “Let go!”
He didn’t move and said, “I know you don’t want to see me or stay with me right now, but in a way, as a third party manager, Miss Shen, wouldn’t it be reasonable for me to ask you to take me for a walk around the base? To see what’s going on in the neighbourhood?”
“Fake public service!” I spoke, shrugging off his hand and saying, “Let’s go!”
Near the base were pear trees, most of the pears were ripe and some farmers were picking them, presumably with the intention of taking them to the market.
After a short walk, Gu Han spoke, “You don’t really need to treat me like this, Shen Shu, I don’t want to ruin your happiness, if I can, I hope we can get along amicably, can we?”
I stopped to look at him and spoke, “You think we can get along amicably now?”
He looked at me, his handsome face showed no emotion, but was sincere, “I know, you don’t want me to pester you, because you are worried that I will disturb your happiness with Fu Shenyan, my liking is actually superfluous to you, I know all this without you saying it!”
I pursed my lips and didn’t take him up on his words, he was right!
I originally thought that if Fu Shenyan was such a cold and emotionless man, there was no way he could give you happiness, so I wanted to give you happiness with my own hands, but now I see that Fu Shenyan’s treatment of you is actually not as bad as I thought, so why can’t I be generous and bless you? So I’ve figured it out, from now on I’ll watch over you well like a friend, and as long as you’re happy, I won’t disturb your life anymore.”
Chapter 1146
I froze for a moment, raised my eyes to look at him, a little confused, and after a pause said, “You ……”
He smiled a little bit, looking a bit despondent, “So, can you promise me that you won’t treat me with that cold and rusty look, Shen Shu, you know, in this world, there are not many people I want to guard, even if I am bad, to you, I am at least sincere, although there is no destiny to guard you personally, then can you treat me like a brother, don’t treat me as if I were a stranger, and ignore indifference to my existence.”
I don’t know why, listening to these words of his, I was a little saddened, after a pause, I nodded my head and looked at him, “Gu Han, I’m sorry, I owe you my life, you know I will grant you anything you want, but only not with you. I’ve been blessed to meet Fu Shen Yan in my life, he doesn’t mind me and has always watched over me like this, thank you for your preference, but I don’t deserve it, you have people who need your care more, Pick up Jane should be born, she’s a good girl, you actually married her, you have to be responsible for her and the baby in this life.”
He nodded and smiled bitterly, seemingly relieved, “I know, I’ve lost what I wanted most, might as well make someone else whole, maybe that’s the best outcome.”
One should not live too obsessively, otherwise one will end up suffering.
After a long walk and a long chat, back at the base, he looked at me and said, “Now that we’ve got that out of the way, can I take you out to dinner tonight? Don’t think too much about it, it’s just that I’m not familiar with the area and I’ve only been here for a day or two, so it’s rare to meet someone you know, and it’s always more fun to meet up for dinner than to eat by yourself.”
I froze and looked at his eyes looking at me innocently and expectantly, so I couldn’t help but feel compassionate and nodded, “Yes!”
I was so confused that I agreed, and only when I saw him enter the base with a smile did I realise, as an afterthought, that it was likely that Fu Shenyan would return to Lanxi Village in the evening.
But there was no way to retract what I had said, so I had no choice but to sigh.
The afternoon was fine, not very busy.
In the evening, I had just finished packing my things when Gu Han leaned at the door and looked at me with a smile on his face and said, “It looks like you have a busy day at work!”
I nodded, packed my things and couldn’t help but look at my phone, I hadn’t received any messages from Fu Shen Yan since this morning, I wonder if he’s busy today!
After leaving the base, Gu Han drove over, the car was parked at the entrance of the base, getting into the car, he seemed to be in a good mood and looked at me, “You should have been here for a while, what do you recommend to eat?”
I shook my head, “It’s all pretty much the same, I don’t get out much!” It was slowly getting dark and I hadn’t received a call from Fu Shen Yan.
I couldn’t help but take out my phone and send him a WeChat, “Have you eaten yet?” After the message was sent, I looked out the window and was a little distracted.
Because I couldn’t find any good places to eat, Gu Han finally had to decide to eat at the hotel, and just as I sat down, my phone vibrated.
It was a WeChat call, I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was from Qiao Zhuangyan, I couldn’t help but frown, but I picked it up, “Mr. Qiao, hello!”
“Where are you?” He spoke, his tone sounding a little anxious.
I spoke, “I’m at the restaurant at the Lanxi Village Hotel, what’s up?”
“Go downstairs and pick up Shen Yan, he hurt his hand today, please.”
I froze for a moment, still a little confused, injured?
