"No need, you still have to busy yourself with your work. I can do it myself." An Shengmei's cheeks were puffed up with confidence. If Gu Qingyan was in front of her now, he would probably be extremely amused by her expression.
"How can I see you coming back from Beijing all alone with your luggage? It's a deal. I'll come pick you up tomorrow. " With that, Gu Qingyan hung up, not giving her the chance to refuse.
Of course he knew she could do it alone, but he just wanted to pick her up. Just like seven years ago, when he clearly knew that An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe were a loving couple, he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
An Shengmei heard the busy tone on the phone and remembered the text message again. She shook her head vigorously, as if this would let go of things she didn't want to think about. The summer heat made her hair dry, so she went back to her room and slept soundly on the soft bed.
An Shengmei slept soundly the whole night. It was only five o'clock when she woke up. It was the first time she woke up so early. After she washed up, she sat on the balcony to watch the sunrise.
At seven o'clock, An Shengmei packed her luggage and went downstairs to find Tan Yizhe's Toyota Land Rover parked beside the hotel while Tan Yizhe leaned against the car in casual clothes. An Shengmei was so scared that she pulled up her luggage and backed off.
Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder, scaring the suitcase in her hand to the ground with a bang, causing it to reverberate in the hotel lobby. When she turned around, it was Tan Yizhe who rolled his eyes, "Are all the jobs in Beijing so free? Mr. Tan actually has the time to come here early in the morning to scare me." She dared to scare her, but she still wanted to laugh at him for not doing his work properly and causing him to be embarrassed.
"My job is not free. I think you, as your partner, know very well that I'm here because today is Saturday. I said last night that I would give it to you as a gift."
When Tan Yizhe saw An Shengmei come out to greet her, she walked in as if she had seen a ghost. Then, after walking a few steps, she stopped. He went up and patted her, but he didn't expect her to be this scared.
"But then again, doesn't Miss An know that Saturday is the official day of rest? It looks like Shanghai's office workers are having a hard time, working overtime to the point where they can't even remember Saturday. " Tan Yizhe obviously heard the meaning behind her words and couldn't help but to respond to her.
An Shengmei rolled her eyes at him. She thought to herself, "I didn't notice that today is Saturday, is there a need to be so unforgiving?" As expected, he was just as hateful as before. He only knew how to show off and ignore the feelings of others.
An Shengmei dragged her suitcase in frustration to Tan Yizhe's car. He didn't show any intentions of helping at all, and An Shengmei finally couldn't resist: "Didn't you say you wanted to give it to me? Why aren't you leaving? "
"I don't have the habit of sending people off hungry." Tan Yizhe said as he opened the trunk and threw An Shengmei's luggage into the trunk. Then he pulled her into the hotel and ordered two cups of milk and two sandwiches.
An Shengmei sneered, "Is this the way Beijing people treat their guests? Ye Zichen didn't even ask what the other person wanted at all and just ordered directly. Mr. Tan still likes to make decisions for people like before. "
"That's for others and not for you." Tan Yizhe ate his own breakfast.
An Shengmei waited for him to finish eating the sandwich, then she said, "I'm not as free as Mr. Tan. You've already eaten breakfast, so why don't you go home? I'll take a taxi to the airport and say goodbye. "
"I told you to give it to you. Don't worry, just eat your breakfast first. If not, you'll be the one who will suffer from hypoglycemia and dizziness when you fly." Tan Yizhe raised his head and stared at An Shengmei seriously. After saying that, he lowered his head and slowly drank his milk. An Shengmei, on the other hand, noticed a hint of gentleness flashing across his eyes.
An Shengmei suddenly picked up the sandwich and started to eat. Tan Yizhe had already finished his milk, stood up and said to her, "Eat slowly, I'll wait for you in the car."
By the time An Shengmei finished her meal and got on the car, it was already eight o'clock. Tan Yizhe started the car and drove towards the airport. The two of them were speechless. During this period of time, An Shengmei tried to find some topic to ease the atmosphere. When she was about to speak, she turned around and found Tan Yizhe was about to say something, so the two of them continued to remain silent awkwardly.
When they arrived at the departure lounge, An Shengmei's flight was broadcast. An Shengmei dragged her luggage through the security check, and Tan Yizhe didn't say anything as he just kept staring at her back until she disappeared.
After an hour and thirty-five minutes, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport. An Shengmei saw Gu Qingyan, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, as soon as they left the security check. Gu Qingyan naturally went up to pick up her luggage and said with concern, "Shengmei, it's been hard on you.
"I have no appetite, just go back." An Shengmei smiled at him in relief.
Gu Qingyan nodded and agreed: "That's right, I must be dizzy after getting off the plane. I'll send you home to sleep first, then I'll take you out for dinner, right?"
Looking at Gu Qingyan's expectant expression, An Shengmei really didn't know how to reject his suggestion, so she nodded in agreement.
When he received his confirmation, Gu Qingyan dragged the luggage case all the way to the entrance of the terminal, then went to the parking lot to retrieve the car. Only when he got to a corner where An Shengmei couldn't see did he take out the small box in his pocket and open it, revealing a bright diamond ring. Gu Qingyan looked at the diamond ring before closing the box and tried to persuade himself: "She's so tired, let's give it to her after she's rested."
The two of them drove back to An Shengmei's residence. After Gu Qingyan left, An Shengmei fell asleep on her home's Xi Mengsi.
When he returned to the company on Monday, the supervisor came over and patted An Shengmei's shoulder. This time, you did pretty well. This project has already been decided. From now on, you will follow up on it. " An Shengmei, the supervisor, was a fat woman who was in menopause at the age of 40. Her hair was neatly tied up every day, and her gold-framed glasses made her look extremely strict. An Shengmei had been a little scared of her ever since she joined the company, but this time, she was a bit unaccustomed to her kind personality.
"Mm, very good. The company needs people like you who are capable. " The fat supervisor nodded and returned to his office.
An Shengmei saw her go back to her office and sit down in a depressed manner. She had just returned from Beijing and thought that she would never see him again.
