C89 Digging a Hole in the Wall

Ye Tian stood up and wanted to get off the bed.

Gu Qinian quickly stopped her and frowned, "What are you going to do now?"

Ye Tian pointed at the steaming hot spring outside the glass door, "I want to take a bath in the hot spring."

Gu Qinian looked at her fingertips and retracted his gaze with a slight headache, "I just finished the ice treatment, can't you be more obedient?"

Ye Tian didn't mind, "What's wrong? It's rare for me to come here, so of course I can't miss it!"

Seeing that she had the intention of not taking a bath, Gu Qinian frowned and only relaxed after a moment.

"Then wait a moment. You just finished the ice treatment, so you can take a bath in half an hour."

Ye Tian thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. She agreed and took out her phone to check Weibo.

Seeing that she was finally obedient, Gu Qinian felt slightly relieved and turned around to walk to the desk.

There was a computer in the room, so he sat down and opened it. He logged into his email and started to process his work emails.

The room was silent again. Ye Tian looked at a few trending searches and then glanced at Gu Qinian.

Seeing him meticulously dealing with his work, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Half an hour later, Gu Qinian turned off the computer on time.

Seeing that, Ye Tian flipped over and sat up from the bed. She went to the bathroom to change into a bathrobe and sat in the hot spring very soon.

"Hmm …"

Compared to the cold weather, the hot spring water was so hot that it moved her. Ye Tian suddenly felt all the pores on her body open, and she quivered in comfort.

She looked up at the sky and realized that she could actually see many stars here. She couldn't help but feel even happier.

At this moment, the glass door of the balcony was opened. She turned around and saw Gu Qinian walking out in a bathrobe.

"You're also going to take a bath?"

Gu Qinian raised his sword-like eyebrows and asked instead of answering, "Who said I won't take a bath?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already entered the pool and sat less than a meter away from Ye Tian.

For some reason, his appearance made her feel a little uncomfortable. She moved to the side without making a sound, and then she fiddled with the water.

The two of them did not speak, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

After a while, perhaps because of the strange atmosphere, Gu Qinian, who had always been calm, was the first to lose his composure. He pressed his hand to his lips and coughed lightly to attract Ye Tian's attention.

"How's your preparation for the competition?"

Since he had spoken first, Ye Tian did not hesitate and replied with a calm expression.

"It's alright. After all, it's my first time participating in such a big competition, so I'm a little uncertain. I'll try my best."

When Gu Qinian heard this, he did not immediately respond. A light flashed in the depths of his black eyes.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "You can."

Ye Tian was a little surprised when she heard this. She tilted her head and looked at him. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "You trust me so much?"

Gu Qinian did not answer her question. Instead, he said calmly, "I have seen your work. You are very talented, and you have a lot of spirituality. Your perspective often gives people a different view."

Ye Tian was even more surprised.

"You actually praised me so openly. Did I hear it wrong?"

"Let's talk about the matter. To be honest."

When he said this, he did not have any emotion in his voice. It was as if he was doing official business.

However, Ye Tian was very happy about this. It seemed that this dog man could still spit out two pieces of ivory from his mouth.

However, right after that, she was confused. "Why did you see my work?"

Gu Qinian was silent for a moment before replying as if nothing had happened.

"When the company was recruiting photographers, I saw some of your information."

"Oh..."

This explanation was still reasonable. Ye Tian did not doubt it and continued to fiddle with the water.

At this moment, Gu Qinian spoke again, but his words were shocking. "Ye Tian, the competition is over. Do you want to consider coming to the Gu's?"

Ye Tian's hand stopped moving. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at him without blinking.

"Gu Qinian, are you... trying to poach me?"

"You can think of it that way."

This time, Ye Tian was even more shocked.

She felt that this world was too fantastical. Gu Qinian had not been very normal these days, but now he wanted her to jump ship to the Gu's?

This was simply unbelievable!

She couldn't think straight for a moment. She opened her mouth and subconsciously blurted out, "But my contract with New World hasn't expired yet."

"That's easy to say." Gu Qinian raised his eyebrows. "Since Gu's is the one who poached you, Gu's will help you pay the penalty."

"But..." Ye Tian frowned. "Qin Shuang has already gone to New World to discuss cooperation. She wants me to film for her."

She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Gu Qinian understood her thoughts and immediately replied, "Since Qin Shuang specifically asked for you, it's because she wants you to go. If you leave New World and go to Gu's, she will still come to you."

That was true. Although Ye Tian had doubts about her own face.

She was silent for a moment before she finally calmed down and looked at him.

"Why? Why did you have to go through so much trouble to poach me to Gu's?"

Gu Qinian pursed his lips and then gave him the explanation he had prepared.

"On one hand, Gu's has always cherished talent. You have the ability, so Gu's will naturally nurture you well and provide you with a broader opportunity. This is a win-win for both you and Gu's."

"What's more?"

"On the other hand, New World and Gu's are cooperating, but they are also competing. Your relationship with me has already been exposed. If you continue to stay in New World now, it will inevitably attract attention. It won't be good."

These explanations were very reasonable and official. Ye Tian couldn't find any fault with them, but these were not the answers that Ye Tian wanted.

She looked straight into Gu Qinian's eyes and had a rare look of persistence. "Is that all? There's no other reason?"

Gu Qinian's heart skipped a beat. There was a hint of suppressed emotion in the depths of his eyes. He replied indifferently, "That's all."

Ye Tian suddenly smiled. The weak flame in her heart was blown away by the wind. It swayed for a moment and then extinguished without a sound.

She turned her head and stopped looking at him. She continued to fiddle with the water, a smile on her lips.

"I'm quite happy to be recognized by the Gu's. I was also surprised that you could invite me to the Gu's. However, I think it's better not to."

Hearing her rejection, Gu Qinian's pupils suddenly shrank. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a slightly low voice came out from the corner of his mouth.

"Why?"

Ye Tian placed her hand on the surface of the water and suddenly didn't want to bathe anymore.

She got up and walked back to the stone path. She looked down at him from above, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile.

"Ye Ziyan was already very unhappy when I went to the Gu's today. If I go there every day in the future and stay in the same building as you, I'm afraid she will be depressed. As for me, I will just stay in New World obediently and not cause trouble for you and your Little White Lotus."
