C112 Extremely Nervous
The conversation fell into silence.
Gu Qinian didn't say anything. He neither admitted nor denied it. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Ye Tian was the same as usual. She smiled as if nothing had happened. The corner of her mouth was still curved into a smile.
"Actually, I didn't have any other intentions when I exploded Ren Chuchu today. I just felt a little sullen that someone slandered me like that. As for Ye Ziyan, I don't plan on pursuing the matter. After all, you helped me this time. I will definitely repay this favor. So don't worry, there's nothing to worry about."
As she spoke, she glanced at him. Her eyes were filled with indifference.
What she meant was that Gu Qinian had helped her because of Ye Ziyan.
Did she think that she was willing to help her cover up for Ye Ziyan because she had made a mistake?
This understanding made Gu Qinian even more irritated. His thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey.
Ye Tian didn't have any negative emotions.
What she said just now was what she was thinking.
Even though the distance between them had shortened, she didn't dare to think too much about Gu Qinian.
She still remembered what was between them.
So thinking too much was just wishful thinking. Wishful thinking would only bring disappointment.
She didn't want to be disappointed, so she never hoped for anything.
She didn't believe that Gu Qinian didn't know about the mastermind behind this matter. Ye Ziyan was completely unharmed, as usual.
Other than the bitterness in her heart, she was already used to it.
After returning home, Ye Tian went upstairs first to wash up and rest.
However, Gu Qinian suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a minute."
Ye Tian turned around, confused, "What is it?"
Gu Qinian's black eyes were deep and his voice was cold.
"My parents will be back tomorrow afternoon. You can use the time to pick them up."
Ye Tian was stunned when she heard that.
"Auntie and Uncle are back?! Why... so suddenly?"
Her first reaction was that Gu Qinian was teasing her on purpose, but then she suddenly remembered Jing Shi's words.
"Qinian, tell your dad to go to my place to play chess with me tomorrow."
Ye Tian, "..."
Her expression changed a few times, and her head felt like it was about to explode. She braced herself and nodded.
"Alright, I got it. What time is it? I'll go over in advance."
"Three o'clock. I'll pick you up in advance."
After Gu Qinian finished speaking, he went upstairs and walked past her in a few steps.
Ye Tian quickly stopped him and waved her hand, "Don't pick me up. There's no need to be so troublesome. I'll go over directly."
However, Gu Qinian repeated coldly, "I'll pick you up."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and stared at her with a dark expression. His thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc.
"Also, don't forget to call me by my name."
After saying that, he walked away quickly without turning his head back. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from her sight.
Ye Tian still maintained her original posture, her face still in a daze.
Don't forget to call him by his name?
Does this mean that he wants her to call him father and mother?
Also, why is his face so stinky? She didn't seem to have done anything to offend him, did she?
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and finally came to a conclusion.
A dog man, a man with a dark and gloomy expression, there was nothing wrong with him.
...
Perhaps it was because of the fact that Gu Qinian's parents were coming back, Ye Tian was so nervous that she didn't sleep well the entire night.
The next day, she went downstairs with two dark circles under her eyes and ate her breakfast listlessly.
Gu Qinian glanced at her. He didn't want to bother with her, but when he saw her listless appearance, his eyebrows immediately knitted together.
"You were beaten up?"
Ye Tian, "..."
She would rather be a joke!
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, "It's all because your parents are coming back today. I couldn't even sleep well."
When Gu Qinian heard this, his dark eyes flashed slightly as he asked casually, "You were very nervous when you saw my parents?"
"How can I not be nervous? It's not like you don't know how much your mother dislikes me!"
The more Ye Tian spoke, the more scared she became. She hurriedly took a big mouthful of milk to calm herself down.
Speaking of people who made her feel scared, there were only two people.
Old Madam Gu was one, and Gu Qinian's mother was the other.
Old Madam Gu's fear was only because she was too fond of him that she couldn't handle it.
Gu Qinian's mother... was too disgusted with her. It could even be said that she hated her. When she looked at her, she would always have all kinds of picky eyes, making her feel as if she was sitting on a needle.
After all, this woman was Gu Qinian's mother. It was not good for her to retaliate, so she could only endure it.
However, to Gu Qinian, her nervousness had changed.
Seeing her so angry at her parents, the gloom in his heart was silently blown away, and the corners of his lips relaxed slightly.
He unconsciously moved his eyebrows, and his voice unconsciously revealed a hint of gentleness.
"Don't be nervous. She can't eat you."
Yes, she couldn't eat me, but she could use a hundred ways to make me suffer.
Of course, Ye Tian didn't say it out loud. After all, it was suspicious to say that.
After breakfast, she rushed to the company.
She had arranged with Liu Yuqing this morning, but Liu Yuqing had not appeared in the morning. She couldn't even get through to her assistant.
Ye Tian knew that she was acting up again. After calling her several times, no one answered, so she decided not to bother with her. She was free.
At noon, Liu Yuqing's assistant finally called.
"Oh, Yuqing is not feeling well today, so she didn't go. Let's meet again when you have time."
When Ye Tian heard this, he was not annoyed. He only smiled and replied.
"Alright, then let's rest first. But if this continues in the future, I'm afraid that the shooting time will be shortened. I'm afraid that the work that you rush out in a hurry won't be able to satisfy her."
Hearing that, the assistant on the other end of the phone immediately choked and her tone became unfriendly.
"What do you mean? Are you blaming us for delaying your time? Get out of here and figure out what you are doing. If you can't get a satisfactory work for us, that's your problem. If you don't have the ability, then don't take this job. What are you doing here?"
Hearing that, Ye Tian did not let her off. She immediately retorted.
"The filming is both parties' work, not mine alone. Why don't you take a character and let me film it? She's in no hurry right now. If the post-production takes too long, then it'll be her who suffers. Don't you know that if a model's condition is bad, it will affect the effect of the work? After filming so many covers, you should have some basic common sense."
"You!"
"Miss Assistant, please get to the bottom of this. We are cooperating, not employed. My boss is not you, and the one paying me is not you either. I don't need to obey you. What we need is only cooperation. Since you are questioning my ability, then you can go and find a better photographer. I definitely won't have any objections."
With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for the assistant to react.
