Yang Qian's dazed look gradually cleared. She recognized the person in front of her and also saw the woman beside him.
"Sis Sisi, who are they?" she asked.
Gu Sisi mourned silently in her heart, "It's over."
But then she thought that Yang Qian was still in a daze. She was just about to try to muddle through.
Yang Qian directly grabbed her hand and dodged the two in front of them. She even murmured, "If you don't know me, why stop me?"
Wen Meiling probably never expected that after such a long time away from the country, the first meeting with Yang Qian would be like this.
She stared at their departing backs with her mouth agape in disbelief.
"You don't know each other?" she couldn't believe that the person she regarded as a strong rival for so long was actually so weak.
These emotions washed over her, so she didn't notice that Jiang Lihao didn't answer at this moment.
Yang Qian vomited in the bathroom until she felt like she was about to throw up her bile.
Gu Sisi took care of Yang Qian. She also fetched a bottle of purified water from the bar for Yang Qian to rinse her mouth. Fortunately, they didn't see those two people this time.
"Sis Sisi," Yang Qian wiped her mouth and said seriously, "I want to go back first. I'm not feeling well."
Gu Sisi saw that Yang Qian's eyes had regained clarity and her expression was truly pained.
"Then I'll take you back first!"
"No need, Sis Sisi. You go and accompany them. After all, they came for you. Don't always spend your time on me."
...
Gu Sisi came back from the door. Although Yang Qian insisted that she didn't need to be sent, Gu Sisi still insisted on putting her in a taxi.
She looked around and found that the two people just now were gone.
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off. Although they might have known each other since childhood, wasn't Wen Meiling in love with Huo Cheng? Now it seemed that Jiang Lihao was with her.
Gu Sisi still clearly remembered Jiang Lihao's sarcasm about Wen Meiling at the wedding.
"This is just like a fantasy story," she murmured silently.
Gu Sisi joined the drinking game of the three. They were all drunk, but she was lucky today. Everyone else got drunk and passed out, while she remained sober.
After sending everyone home, it wasn't very late yet. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Huo Cheng sitting in the living room with their child sound asleep in his arms.
"Don't always hold him. If you hold him for too long, he won't be able to sleep without being held in the future," Gu Sisi blurted out instinctively when she saw this situation.
The reason was that the baby's nanny had told her that because the baby was always being held, now he couldn't fall asleep without being held. Even if he fell asleep, he would wake up as soon as he was put back in the bed.
Gu Sisi also took this problem seriously, fearing that it would affect the baby's sleep.
Huo Cheng stood up from the sofa. His tall figure loomed in front of Gu Sisi, who had just taken off her shoes and turned around. It gave her quite a scare.
"Mommy is jealous of the baby!" Huo Cheng teased.
Just then, the baby opened his big round eyes and looked at Gu Sisi, as if he understood what they were talking about and was thinking about whether what they said was true.
Gu Sisi pushed Huo Cheng away and took the baby from him. She whispered, "Stop talking nonsense."
She didn't dare to speak loudly. She gently patted the baby's back a few times. Gradually, the baby closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Sisi put the baby in the cradle. After making sure that the baby was still sleeping soundly, she tiptoed out.
When she opened the door and entered the room, Huo Cheng was just coming out of the bathroom. He only had a white towel wrapped around his waist, showing his well - defined muscles with some drops of water still on them.
Faced with this alluring male figure, Gu Sisi instinctively averted her eyes and her face turned bright red.
Soon, as if on purpose, Huo Cheng walked in front of Gu Sisi. His deep voice was like the sound of a bass: "What dirty thoughts are you having?"
Gu Sisi felt dizzy. She was thinking about what to say to divert her attention when she remembered the two people she met in the bar. But she didn't know how to start asking.
"Nothing," Gu Sisi still blushed and defended herself.
Huo Cheng noticed Gu Sisi's distraction just now. He gently pinched her earlobe. Watching the pinched area gradually turn red, he leaned in the same direction and whispered in her ear, "But I'm having some dirty thoughts~"
...
The moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
In the past few days, Gu Sisi had been busy looking for a job.
She wasn't sure if she could adapt to a very big company. She rejected the small ones because she still needed room for promotion. But at the same time, the pressure when she first entered the company couldn't be too great.
Gu Sisi had visited many companies but was not satisfied with any of them. Some companies didn't think highly of her either.
She sighed. Finding a job was so difficult!
Gu Sisi had entered her previous company right after graduation. It was a new company at that time, small in scale and with low recruitment requirements. Later, it gradually expanded.
However, it wasn't very large. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been directly acquired by Huo Cheng. But after the acquisition, the company had obviously improved.
Her career had been smooth sailing all the way. Only now did she realize that finding a job was a long - term battle.
Gu Sisi came out of this company and sighed.
It was still the same old line: go home and wait for the news.
The first company she applied to still hadn't contacted her. She walked dejectedly on the road. It seemed that she had been rejected again.
Now when she thought about her resignation, she felt that she had been too impulsive. She had wasted so much time for nothing.
The sun was shining brightly right above her head. Gu Sisi squinted at the sunlight and was so dazzled that she could hardly open her eyes.
Forget it. She'd better find a coffee shop to take shelter, she thought to herself. She quickened her pace. But she never expected that there was a man slowly approaching her from behind.
When Gu Sisi caught a glimpse of the shadow behind her and was about to turn around, it was already too late. A sack was thrown over her.
No matter how much Gu Sisi struggled, the man said viciously, "Today you'll taste my revenge."
As soon as she heard this voice, Gu Sisi, who had been struggling, calmed down.
This voice seemed to be Wang Chao, the manager of the comic department.
Gu Sisi was still trying to confirm, but the man didn't even try to disguise himself.
He kicked the sack, hitting Gu Sisi's rib. She let out a muffled groan, and the man laughed heartily.
"Today I'll teach you a good lesson. You dared to play tricks on me behind my back. God is really on my side. I finally caught up with you here."
The hatred in the man's voice sent shivers down Gu Sisi's spine. His tone clearly showed that he wanted to kill her.
"Please calm down," Gu Sisi said tremblingly.
She didn't want to die at the hands of a crazy man.
"Calm down? Hahaha..." The man laughed even more ferociously. He kicked the sack several more times and gritted his teeth, "Why didn't you think about calming down when you plotted against me? Now you mention calmness?"
The man's voice was full of sarcasm. Finally, he said, "Die!"
