Chapter 399 Sending money
The woman in front of him really brightened him. She always surprised him.
“No, thanks. I’m here to send you salary, and I’ll leave right away.” Qi Changfeng said and looked at her eagerly as always.
The abrupt words shocked her slightly.
“Mr. Qi, sorry to bother you...” Gu Yan took over the envelope. When she touched the thick envelope, she felt very happy. She hid her happiness and put the envelope on the counter.
Her hard work finally got paid.
“Gu Yan!” She was interrupted by Qi Changfeng before she finished.
Perhaps because he called her name with an anxious tone, she could not find any topics to ease the embarrassment. He realized that, but he didn’t want her to be so polite to him and keep calling him Mr. Qi.
It seemed that she was extremely indifferent and cool. In her view, was he a stranger? He couldn’t help but think so. He also felt the sense of loss in his heart.
Yes, he was not reconciled. He wanted be the one who occupied her heart, not a passerby. He wanted to protect her. From the beginning when he saw her, he already had this idea.
After meeting her for the first time, he fell in love. When he met her again, she stole his heart.
Qi Changfeng sighed. He could never be hegemonic in front of her. There was only the desire to protect her. All he wanted was to keep her by his side, to take care of her and to hope that she would have a happy life.
However, Qi Changfeng knew that this idea was just a fantasy.
“Gu Yan, actually you don’t have to be so polite to me.” He decided to adopt a relatively soft way to talk.
“No, I don’t, Mr. Qi.” She subconsciously refuted him. In fact, she just regarded him as an ordinary friend. However, she didn’t know how to handle this kind of friendship well, just like before when she met Jiang Jingcheng. Negligence caused a big mistake.
Qi Changfeng glanced at the envelope and was ready to leave, but after thinking, he said, “Don’t call me Mr. Qi. You can call me Changfeng.”
“Can I?”
“Yes, you can.”
He left these words and opened the door without giving her the opportunity to speak.
Only Gu Yan was left in the shop again. She looked at the envelope and felt ironic. Love always made fun of people like this. It was difficult to make people whom you loved love you.
Qi Changfeng trembled and walked out of the dessert shop. He took a long breath and continued to blame himself. Why was he always nervous and why did he always make the atmosphere so embarrassing when being with Gu Yan.
He even thought that he was like a fool, helpless in love.
The elevator opened. Qi Changfeng walked out with a cold look and the noisy office became silent instantly. Everyone pretended to focus on the work at hand, and at the same time quietly peeped at his expression.
The office was where the gossip originated, especially to the secretariat which was closest to the president’s office.
When the president assistant followed him into the inner president office, everyone began to talk in a low voice.
Closing the door, he sat at the table before looking up at the assistant followed.
“Is there anything?” He asked indifferently.
“President Qi, early next month will be the birthday of President Mo’s son in City A. Here is the invitation letter.”
The assistant smiled and said softly, which reminded him of Gu Yan’s look when she was selling donuts. She never gave such a professional smile to the customers. Her smile was warm and sincere. It seemed like that she had eaten a lot of sweet donuts and cones. However, he was familiar with this smile, because Gu Yan also smiled at him like this, polite but alienated. This recalled his unpleasant memories in the dessert shop this afternoon.
“President Qi?”
Seeing Qi Changfeng was distracted, the assistant tried to wake him up. Qi Changfeng recovered his wits. The assistant seemed to be asking with her eyes if she needed to repeat what she just said.
Qi Changfeng cleared his throat, and said, “I know. Put it on the table. Anything else?” His tone was as cold as always. The assistant felt cold in her back. If she stayed in the office for one more second, she would freeze.
“No.” She said immediately after she heard his question.
“You can go.”
His strong aura made the assistant nervous. She dared not disturb him anymore and left this terrible office gently and carefully.
The door was opened and closed gently. Qi Changfeng was left alone in his office.
He looked at the invitation letter and threw it into his briefcase. He had no interests in it.
The new project was about to start and it was a big one for Qi’s family. It would be a hard fight again. However, all in his mind was Gu Yan. He couldn’t see her for a while and didn’t know if she would miss him. However, he immediately denied the thought. Perhaps she would be more relaxed and happier without his disturbing. Thinking of this, he sighed heavily, opened the folder and threw himself in the documents.
However, it didn’t take long before he thought of Gu Yan once again. In his imagination, Gu Yan was sitting in the corner of the dessert shop, looking at the cars and the pedestrians passing by the window with her beautiful hair hanging loose over her shoulders. The wind blew the hair on her forehead. Her face was more delicate in the sunshine.
In his imagination, he also saw himself walking slowly to Gu Yan and sat down. She turned back and looked at him sweetly. They enjoyed the sunset together.
He smiled unconsciously and no one could understand the meaning in his eyes.
At the time when the sun was going down, there were more customers in the dessert shop.
In this small shop, only Gu Yan was busy with serving customers.
