Because of Gu Xuehan's episode, the previous beautiful atmosphere was swept away. After drinking the water poured by Gu Yan, Qi Xi really stayed and discussed the case with Gu Yan seriously. There was a difference of opinion, Qi Xi and Gu Yan couldn't help arguing again, neither of them could convince the other, and in the end, Gu Yan couldn't bear it anymore and pressed Qi Xi against the wall to surrender.
In the end, it was Gu Yan who drove Qi Xi back to the rented house, and he actually packed some stewed vegetables for Qi Xi as instructed by the nurse Xue Han.
It's just that early the next morning, while sharing Gu Xuehan's stewed vegetables with Zhao Yiran, what Qi Xi thought was how to struggle in front of Gu Xuehan.
Fortunately, although Gu Yan had an outside job this morning, Gu Xuehan was in the office all the time. She probably happened to have a case to hand over. She called Qi Xi on the internal line and asked her to go to her office.
Qi Xi was waiting for this opportunity. She specially wore a buttoned dress today. She took a deep breath, took her notebook, and before entering Gu Xuehan's office, she deliberately buttoned up a few buttons wrongly. Then he walked into the office calmly pretending to be ignorant.
**
"It was a simple traffic accident case. Our client had to give way because the other party ran a red light while driving. As a result, a bicycle accident occurred. As a result, the windshield was smashed, and glass shards splashed on her face. Now we can't If you don’t lie in the hospital for treatment, you may still have scars on your face. In addition to taking insurance claims, you have to sue the party who ran a red light for civil compensation. Have you never handled a traffic case? You can try it, although the target of this type of case is The forehead is not big, but it is very training and growing.”
When Gu Xuehan saw Qi Xi, there was nothing unusual. After giving Qi Xi the materials of the case as usual, she briefly explained the situation of the case to Qi Xi. She was probably busy looking at the materials, and even looked up from the computer screen. There is no time for a few glances at the river.
Qi Xi felt anxious like a drum in her heart. Regarding the traffic accident case, after she asked Gu Xuehan a few questions about the materials she had, she hesitated again and again. Before she walked out of Gu Xuehan's office, she decided to fight it out.
"Ah." Qi Xi said in surprise in a very natural tone, "Why did you button the wrong button again?"
Her expression also showed real annoyance and embarrassment, she raised her head slightly, and quickly explained embarrassingly: "I always can't get up in the morning, and I rush to the office in a hurry, and I buckle the wrong button every time. "
Qi Xi felt that her acting skills were quite natural, because Gu Xuehan didn't have any strange expressions on her face, and it seemed that she raised her head and noticed Qi Xi's wrong button button because Qi Xi took the initiative to mention it.
Gu Xuehan glanced at Qi Xi's chest, and smiled: "It's really a wrong button. Next time, pay attention, the lawyer's dress also conveys the trust you can give the client. It's too careless for a lawyer to button the wrong button."
Qi Xijue nodded again and again, and said apologetically, "I will definitely pay attention next time."
It's just that she was still guilty and nervous. She had simulated it thousands of times before coming here, and warned herself not to panic a thousand times. However, when things came to an end, Qi Xi was still in a mess. The timing was obviously not important, but when she realized it At this time, I have already clarified what happened last night with three hundred taels of silver here—
"Maybe it's because I've been under a lot of pressure recently and I haven't slept well, so I buckled the wrong button for two consecutive days, but I will definitely not do it again in the future. I just found out that I was in a daze last night, and I didn't button it properly. "
In fact, after finishing speaking, Qi Xi regretted it, who would take the initiative to bring up what happened last night when he had nothing to do, it was too deliberate! It's too suspicious!
However, to Qi Xi's surprise, Gu Xuehan showed a very surprised look after listening to it: "Did you button the wrong buttons yesterday? I didn't even notice."
She didn't pay attention? !
Gu Xuehan's surprise did not seem to be fake, the string that Qi Xi had been tense before suddenly relaxed, and she was overjoyed, it seemed that Gu Xuehan was not as miraculous as Gu Yan said.
If Gu Xuehan didn't realize that she buttoned the wrong button last night, wouldn't it be even more impossible to realize what she and Gu Yan were doing in the living room? Wasn't it all a false alarm last night? !
Qi Xi suddenly felt amnesty, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled at Gu Xuehan, and suddenly felt that she could raise her head in front of Gu Xuehan: "Well, I also made a wrong deduction last night, when I went to Gu Yan's house to pick up the book. , I found out on the way home, I was so embarrassed."
Gu Xuehan smiled: "Really? I didn't find out, but I didn't expect that you and Gu Yan have such a good relationship in private, and you would borrow books so late. To be honest, I thought the two of you might fall in love."
Since Gu Xuehan didn't find out, Qi Xi decided to simply deny it to the end: "No, Lawyer Gu, Gu Yan and I are old classmates and colleagues who have a good relationship. Gu Yan is not in a relationship."
"Oh, that's it." Gu Xuehan tilted her head, "Then do you have a boyfriend? Are you considering having a boyfriend?"
Qi Xi now has some confidence in his heart, and his lying has become even more blushing: "I still want to concentrate on work first, and there is no rush to fall in love. After all, I am still young."
Gu Xuehan seemed to think about it, then nodded to Qi Xi: "Then I know."
Then, she smiled at Qi Xi again: "In this case, some temporary overtime work may be arranged for you recently."
As soon as she heard about the job arrangement, Qi Xi immediately straightened her back: "Okay, Lawyer Gu, there is no problem on my side."
Gu Xuehan pursed her lower lip, then turned her eyes back to the computer screen, and said naturally: "Since you don't plan to fall in love in the near future, you should take more care of the work in the team."
Qi Xi was a little curious. Although Gu Yan was Gu Xuehan's younger brother, in the past, according to the master level of taking care of Xuehan, Qi Xi and Gu Yan did a lot of work together. Faced with these, Gu Xuehan obviously planned to separate the two. Qi Xi couldn't help asking, "Is it because Gu Yan has been busy with a lot of work recently?"
"No." Gu Xuehan opened her red lips lightly, "Gu Yan is single, but Gu Yan has always wanted to fall in love in college, but due to various reasons, I couldn't do it. I have a friend's sister I just met Gu Yan and said that I fell in love with him at first sight, so I plan to match him up."
Gu Xuehan smiled kindly at Qi Xi: "Originally, there were suitable boys introduced to you, but since you want to sprint your career, then I won't create obstacles for you, but I may bring Gu Yan to participate in some blind date games in the future , you have to take care of work more these days, of course, the more business you handle, the faster your ability will improve, I think it coincides with your determination to develop your career, right?"
Gu Xuehan took a sip of tea and looked at Qi Xi: "Are you okay?"
Qi Xi was a little thankful that Gu Xuehan didn't realize that he was having an affair with Gu Yan at all, but when he heard that Gu Xuehan was going to introduce someone to Gu Yan, his heart felt like he had eaten something bad.
It's just a lie I told, and I have to finish it while kneeling, Qi Xi restrained her inner emotions, and nodded dryly: "It's okay."
Just as Qi Xi turned around to leave in a state of confusion, Gu Xuehan called her back again: "Since you and Gu Yan have such a good relationship, then help me give advice, which girl does Gu Yan like?"
After Gu Xuehan finished speaking, she dug out photos one by one from her phone: "Among these few, which one do you think Gu Yan is most likely to have eyes for?"
How many more? !
"Didn't your friend's sister fall in love with Gu Yan at first sight? Why are there so many..."
Gu Xuehan brushed her hair: "Oh, there are too many, I omitted it, in fact, there are clients, their relatives, the court clerk, and Gu Yan's childhood friend..."
The fire in Qi Xi's heart grew higher and higher, how many people fell in love with Gu Yan at first sight? ! And Gu Yan actually has a childhood sweetheart next door? ! Why didn't he report to himself!
Qi Xi held her breath, but because of Gu Xuehan's presence, she had to pretend to be calm and leaned over her head. She just glanced at the first photo in Gu Xuehan's phone, and felt a little unhappy and nervous.
The girl in Gu Xuehan's phone is very beautiful, and Qi Xi even feels that she is the same type as him, and her eyes are more gentle and amiable than hers, probably because she is quite friendly, and she is quite affectionate when she looks at her.
And before Qi Xi's sense of crisis reached its peak, Gu Xuehan swipe her phone to the second photo. The girl in this photo looks much more mature and beautiful, followed by the third and fourth photos...
Why is it getting more and more beautiful!
Qi Xi's chest was getting tighter and tighter.
If Gu Yan was treated as single by Gu Xuehan and really went to meet such a series of beauties, what if... what if he really couldn't control his whimsy!
What's more, even if he doesn't care about it, why can he meet these beauties who are interested in him! He has his own!
The more Qi Xi thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, but Gu Xuehan seemed to think it was not exciting enough, she sighed: "A few of these girls are quite proactive, saying they want to go after Gu Yan, the young girls nowadays are really admirable There is nothing wrong with chasing after love bravely, a coquettish person like Gu Yan may catch up after chasing after him."
"..."
Qi Xi stood still, but the fire in her heart was burning hotter and hotter.
Gu Xuehan seemed to realize that Qi Xi was still in the office, she was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What's the matter Qi Xi? Is there anything else? Why is his face so ugly?"
Qi Xi felt like an undercover agent who had worked hard and made great achievements. He could have retired, but at the last moment, in order to maintain his lofty proletarian beliefs, he chose to expose himself and completed a suicide attack...
Qi Xi's mouth is ahead of her head, and her thinking hasn't followed up yet, but a sound has already come out of her mouth——
"Lawyer Gu, please don't let Gu Yan go on a blind date."
Gu Xuehan showed surprise: "Huh?"
I've said it all.
When things came to an end, stretching out his head was a stab, and shrinking his head was also a stab. Qi Xi thought about it, and decided to go all out—
"Gu Yan already has a girlfriend. So there is no need for a blind date."
Gu Xuehan really became interested, she raised her eyebrows: "But didn't you just say that Gu Yan is single?"
Qi Xi faced Gu Xuehan's playful gaze, and said bravely: "It's just that he recently got out of an order secretly, because he was afraid that the impact would not be good, so he is still in the stage of keeping it secret from the outside world..."
Although she opened her mouth, Qi Xi still struggled a little when she had to admit that Gu Yan's girlfriend was her, but she was still thinking about how to speak more confidently and calmly, so she heard Gu Xuehan chuckle and say—
"Qi Xi, his secret girlfriend is you, right?"
ah…
ah? ?
Gu Xuehan looked at Qi Xi's wide-eyed eyes, and her tone became a little funny: "It makes me sad that you keep it a secret from me, after all, I have always been very supportive of not letting the fat and water go to outsiders for internal digestion."
"But...but how did you know..." Qi Xi was a little confused, her face flushed red, "It's not that you didn't notice..."
"I didn't notice your buttons." Gu Xuehan took a sip of tea, "But you have too many flaws."
Qi Xi felt ashamed: "Is it because Gu Yan's rhetoric is full of loopholes?"
"No." Gu Xuehan smiled slyly, "I don't need him to ask me to know."
how come…
Gu Xuehan glanced at Qi Xi: "You know that there is a voice-activated light in front of Gu Yan's house, right?"
Qi Xi nodded, but couldn't figure out how this had anything to do with the topic we were talking about.
"After you started going upstairs, the voice-activated light turned on and then went dark, but after it went dark for a long time, you didn't enter the house." Gu Xuehan smiled, "It's a coincidence, I was standing at the door at that time, planning to I opened the door to leave, and saw the voice-activated light outside through the gap in the back door."
Qi Xi looked at Gu Xuehan in a daze. Gu Xuehan just stared at her with a smile.
It wasn't until a moment later that Qi Xi's face began to turn red.
She understood what Gu Xuehan meant.
The voice-activated light has been off for a long time but I didn't enter the house, but I didn't continue to talk outside the house to touch the voice-activated light, so I must have done something in the dark that I couldn't speak...
Gu Xuehan didn't say anything more, but Qi Xi already knew everything about it - Gu Xuehan knew from then on that Gu Yan was kissing someone outside, but she didn't know who it was, and when Qi Xi and Gu Yan opened the door to go in, it was completely their own. Being caught by Gu Xuehan, she didn't need to pay attention to any buttons at all, and she didn't need Gu Yan to fool around with a bunch of loopholes, because Gu Xuehan was more to the point than Qi Xi imagined.
"The girl who spoke at the graduation ceremony was also you, right?"
Facing Gu Xuehan's question, Qi Xi could only bow his head and admit: "Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood Gu Yan."
But Gu Xuehan didn't care, she just laughed happily: "Now I finally understand why Gu Yan refused to say who he was, and he refused to take any action. He made up his mind to protect the other party. Oh, think about it." My brother's mental journey is so pitiful that people can't help but laugh."
"..."
"However, I'm really surprised that it's you. My brother is really quite restrained." Gu Xuehan said with emotion, "I was also very surprised when I saw you last night, but when I think about it, there seems to be signs But, I just didn't expect an office romance to happen right under my nose... No wonder why I said Gu Yan is so weird recently, I asked him to help me translate a document several times on weekends, and he told me that there was something wrong, obviously his work attitude was different before , can't wait to work overtime all day long... "
Is this Gu Xuehan who came to Xingshi to question her
Qi Xi said a little nervously: "Then Lawyer Gu, your office romance..." Qi Xi thought about his choice of words, and changed his words, "Will you ask me and Gu Yan to transfer one of them from the team? Gu Yan himself He wanted to work hard, and it was I who took the initiative to drag him into a relationship. The responsibility for Gu Yan's unintentional work is still on me. If there are any punishment measures, I hope that Gu Yan will not be affected."
Qi Xi couldn't figure out Gu Xuehan's attitude, the more she spoke, the more anxious she became: "I was the one who pulled Gu Yan at the door of Gu Yan's house that day, and it has nothing to do with Gu Yan..."
Although there are no regulations prohibiting office romances in the competition and cooperation office, generally speaking, many bosses would mind if people in the same team or the same department fall in love, because they would ask one party to at least change departments for fear of affecting work efficiency. As an example to others, some even have internal reports of criticism.
Qi Xi was very disturbed in her heart, but she was also ready to accept the job transfer arrangement, but before she even asked for a job, Gu Xuehan said happily: "I support the office romance, that's great, and you two don't have to worry about it in the future. I can’t meet each other on a time date, because I can work overtime together! Two people work overtime together, and they work faster! In order to get off work and go on a date earlier, the fighting spirit is more abundant, and the efficiency is even higher!”
"..." Although Qi Xi was relieved by Gu Xuehan's answer, she was rather curious, "Aren't you afraid that if I have conflicts with Gu Yan and break up, it will affect my work?"
Gu Xuehan smiled, her voice was very firm: "No, Gu Yan will never break up with you."
Qi Xi was stunned.
Gu Xuehan closed the laptop, she was about to say something to Qi Xi, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening—
"sister."
The one standing at the door was Gu Yan.
He should have just returned from his field work, as if he was in a hurry, so the voice also brought out the panting and instability after running.
Gu Yan walked into the office, walked up to Qi Xi, and then stood in front of her: "Sister, I heard from my colleagues that you called Qi Xi in for a long time."
Gu Yan frowned slightly. Although his expression was calm, there was some uneasiness in his voice. He glanced at Qi Xi and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then the man looked at Gu Xuehan again: "Sister, don't make things difficult for Qi Xi."
Qi Xi desperately tugged on Gu Yan's sleeve, but Gu Yan seemed determined. He not only ignored Qi Xi's movements, but also didn't leave. He just used his tall body to stand in front of Qi Xi, hurting Qi Xi. I couldn't even see Gu Xuehan's expression, I could only hear Gu Xuehan's rather sad voice—
"You usually pay attention to competitions and cooperation. You seldom call me sister. You always call me Lawyer Gu. Now because of Qixi, you call me sister and try to play the emotional card."
Gu Yan was said to be the center of the matter, and his body obviously paused, but he was still very firm, almost eager to explain: "I have liked Qixi for a long time, since college, she doesn't want to fall in love, mainly She agreed to fall in love with me because I kept chasing after her. Don’t blame her. I didn’t make mistakes at work because of her. Even if you talk to someone, you shouldn’t put pressure on her. Just talk to me. gone."
"Are you one or two rushing to me to stage a bitter drama and beat mandarin ducks?" Gu Xuehan's voice sounded helpless, "Qi Xi said she dragged you into the water, you said you pulled Qi Xi into the water , your 'criminal gang' is quite cohesive."
"Let's go, don't get in the way of my eyes, I'm so busy, I want you to go to another place after get off work." Gu Xuehan rubbed her eyebrows, "Help me close the door when I go out."
Regardless of Qi Xi and Gu Yan's embarrassing expressions, Gu Xuehan waved her hand to the two of them, telling them to retreat without incident and kneel down.
Before Qi Xi followed Gu Yan out of the office, she heard Gu Xuehan add another sentence—
"Also, remember to take Qixi home for dinner when you're free."
…
Does this mean to meet Gu Yan's parents
It was just such a plan, and Qi Xi's heartbeat became faster and her breath became short of breath. She almost ran away from Gu Xuehan's office, and suddenly felt that she had tried to deceive Gu Xuehan before. Gu Yan and Gu Xuehan couldn't beat Gu Xuehan together.
She walked back to the desk with a flushed face, wishing she could slap herself twice.
After experiencing such an embarrassing scene, Gu Yan was much calmer than Qi Xi, but after he sat down, he frequently picked up the water glass to drink water in order to cover up his embarrassment, which somewhat revealed his restless mood at the moment.
Qi Xi didn't know what to say, especially during working hours, so she could only give Gu Yan a stern look, and then began to look through the traffic accident case that Gu Xuehan had assigned to her.
Gu Yan didn't say anything else, and started to turn on the computer to read the email, with a calm expression on his face.
Qi Xi almost felt that he had forgotten the embarrassing episode just now, if it wasn't for Gu Yan's right hand, which was covered by the desk, stretched out from under the desk, and gently grabbed Qi Xi's left little finger if.
