"You're back?" Su Kexin only noticed Gu Chi at this moment and hurried out, "Come wash your hands and eat quickly. There's quite a bit of food. Eat as much as you can. If there's any left over, I can make it into lunch boxes to take to the company."
"No need." Gu Chi sat down. "I'm full."
Su KeXin didn't think much of it, this amount wouldn't even be enough for four people to finish, let alone just the two of them.
But it turned out, she really underestimated Gu Chi's appetite. He seemed to have a particularly good appetite today, and he actually ate all the dishes she made.
Su Kexin was dumbfounded. After all, she and Gu Chi had eaten so many meals together, and she never realized that Gu Chi was actually a big eater.
The next day, Sunday, Su Kexin busied herself cooking for Gu Chi all day. The weekend flew by quickly like that.
On Monday, Su Kexin went to work.
Su Keixin used to really enjoy going to work, but ever since Gu Yichan became the editor-in-chief, she felt like work was as scary as a raging flood.
As if on cue, just as she settled into her office, the editor-in-chief Chiang Li-li rushed over. "Su Ke Xin," she said breathlessly, "I have an interview this afternoon. Could you please sort out this document and deliver it to the chief editor's office?"
Su Keqin took it, frowning. “Editor-in-chief, I need to prepare for tomorrow’s interview this afternoon. Could you please ask someone else?”
<<< Before Chiang could reply, Qiu Yue from the side suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Miss Su, please don't play hard to get anymore. Everyone knows about your ambiguous relationship with Mr. Gu. Why bother pretending?" >>>
Su Ke Xin didn't expect Qiu Yue to suddenly say that, she was stunned for a moment, looking at Qiu Yue who was her peer in front of her, she couldn't help but frown, "Qiu Yue, don't talk nonsense."
"Are you guilty, or am I just talking nonsense?" Qiu Yue sneered at Su Ke Xin, "Su Ke Xin, don't treat others like blind people."
Su Kexin was about to retort, but when her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the office, she saw many people hiding under their computers, secretly peeking at her. Their eyes held suspicion and a hint of disdain.
Su Ke Xin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She was all too familiar with that look. Two years ago, when what happened was exposed at school, the students and teachers had looked at her like that too.
Su KeXin bit her lip, unable to utter a word. She could only sit down and quickly organize her report. Then, under everyone's gaze, she walked towards Gu Yihan's office and knocked on the door.
< Come in. >
Gu Yichen's voice, slightly weary, came from inside the room. Su Keqin pushed the door open.
Gu Yichen looked up and saw her. He was slightly taken aback, but Su Keqin had already quickly placed the document on the table. "Editor-in-Chief, here are the files you requested. There's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
As she spoke, she turned and walked away. But before she reached the door, Gu Yichan's icy voice rang out.
Su Keqin, stop right there.
Su Ke Xin reluctantly stopped, but without turning back, she coldly asked, "Editor-in-chief, do you have anything else?"
"What's your attitude?" Gu Yichen's voice turned cold as well, getting up and walking slowly to Su Kexin's face, "Are you avoiding me?"
"Yes." Su Keixin admitted frankly.
Such honesty caused Gu Yichan's anger to flare up.
You could see that Su Ke Xin's complexion had paled a little these past few days because of taking care of her mother, and her voice involuntarily softened, "Su Ke Xin, how is your mother?"
Even though I dislike Su Kexin's mother for being a mistress, after all, he had dated Su Kexin before and met Su Yaifen several times. She is his elder, so it's only right to show some concern.
Su KeXin didn't expect Gu YiHan to ask this, her eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly replied: "It's fine, thank you Editor-in-Chief for your concern."
Gu Yichen looked at Su Kexin's somewhat stubborn expression, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "I heard you need medical expenses very much. I sent you a text message before, did you—"
"Editor-in-Chief." Before Gu Yichan could finish his words, Su Kexin abruptly interrupted him, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
