Gu Sisi was really getting a headache from all the thinking. Just then, there was nothing else to do in the company. She told the manager that she wanted to leave work early. Considering that she might be in a bad mood after losing the project, the manager agreed.
Before leaving, Gu Sisi specifically said hello to Xiaotao. Xiaotao stood aside and waved to her from afar, smiling sweetly.
The manager saw Xiaotao like this and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing, Xiaotao? Do you know Gu Sisi? You two shouldn't have much to do with each other."
"No no no, we know each other. We've had quite a few interactions." Xiaotao gave a sly smile.
The manager looked at Xiaotao helplessly, reached out and tapped her on the nose, and said, "It's okay to make friends, but don't cause any trouble."
"Come on, don't worry, Uncle. Xiaotao won't do anything." Xiaotao reached out and wrapped her arm around the manager's, shaking it affectionately, her voice soft and coquettish.
"Alright, alright, as long as you know. I won't take care of you if something goes wrong. Let me tell you, this Gu Sisi has a complicated background. She's Mr. Huo's wife. You can't afford to provoke her."
"Okay, okay, Uncle. Everyone in the company knows this. I got it." Xiaotao couldn't help but retort. Her uncle was nice in every way, but just too wordy.
So what if she was Huo Cheng's wife? She was the one who took the initiative to get close to Gu Sisi precisely because she was Huo Cheng's wife.
Now it seemed that Gu Sisi believed what she had said. She had an inexplicable confidence that with Gu Sisi's personality, she would definitely go to find that writer. Calculating the time, when Gu Sisi went to find the original writer, things would surely become extremely interesting.
Thinking of this, Xiaotao couldn't help rubbing her hands. She was really looking forward to it.
On the other hand, Gu Sisi was walking alone on the street. Her mind was in a complete mess, as if there were two little people fighting inside her head. Should she go or not? Should she go or not? They kept arguing non - stop.
Gu Sisi felt really annoyed. Why did all these things happen to her? With great difficulty, she had mustered up the spirit to throw herself into work, but work treated her like this.
If it weren't for the need to maintain her image on the street and the fear of being regarded as a lunatic by others, Gu Sisi really would have wanted to let out a long sigh to the sky.
She walked while thinking about countermeasures. On the way, she passed by a coffee shop. It looked really nice, very stylish. Gu Sisi couldn't help but want to go in and sit down.
She was just a bit tired from walking. Going in for a cup of coffee might give her some inspiration and she might even come up with a solution.
Thinking this, Gu Sisi walked inside. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Huo Cheng sitting on the second floor of the coffee shop. Gu Sisi was just about to wave to indicate to Huo Cheng that she was here when she suddenly saw a strange woman sitting opposite Huo Cheng.
The woman glanced downstairs. It seemed that she saw Gu Sisi and also saw Gu Sisi's hand that was halfway raised. The corner of her mouth lifted slightly in a faint arc, as if with a hint of mockery. The woman retracted her gaze. Obviously, she could tell that Gu Sisi and Huo Cheng knew each other.
But she didn't remind Huo Cheng. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Sisi slowly retract the hand that was about to wave, with nothing but contempt in her eyes.
Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng upstairs. Seeing that he didn't notice her at all, not even shifting his gaze, she became really curious. Who was the woman opposite Huo Cheng? What was her background?
She had never seen Huo Cheng so focused even during business meetings. It made her feel so awkward. Gu Sisi thought angrily. While thinking, she took out her phone.
She dialed the number of the great Mr. Huo. At the same time, she quietly backed away to the stairs, to a blind spot where she couldn't be seen from the second - floor coffee area.
"Hello," Huo Cheng answered the phone quickly, in his usual tone. "Off work? What's up?"
"Yeah, I got off work early. How about you? What are you doing? Do you have time to have a cup of coffee with me?" Gu Sisi's tone was cheerful, but who would have known that the little volcano in her heart was already ready to erupt.
It all depended on whether the great Mr. Huo had the sense and how he would answer.
Huo Cheng glanced at the woman sitting opposite him. The woman responded with a standard and elegant smile.
"I'm in a meeting," someone said without batting an eyelid. At the same time, he saw the woman opposite him smile, with an expression of "I knew it".
When Huo Cheng had just received the call, she had seen the woman downstairs, the much - talked - about wife of Huo Cheng, holding a phone and dialing someone's number. Then she backed away to a blind spot.
If she guessed correctly, this call must have been made by that woman. She couldn't help but smile even more happily. There was going to be a good show.
She was really curious. What would the so - called Mrs. Huo do when she saw her sitting here, sitting opposite her husband, while her husband didn't notice her downstairs at all and even said on the phone that he was in a meeting.
When Gu Sisi heard "I'm in a meeting", she felt like the string in her head snapped. In an instant, the volcano erupted, and it was like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.
Click click click. Gu Sisi could feel that her phone was almost being deformed by her grip.
"Really? Say that again?" Gu Sisi felt that these words were squeezed out through her gritted teeth.
Enough was enough. There was no need to endure any longer.
Gu Sisi directly walked up the stairs and headed straight for the table where Huo Cheng was sitting. Naturally, as soon as she came, Huo Cheng noticed. He didn't know whether to put down the phone in his hand or keep holding it. It was really awkward.
The woman opposite still looked smiling on the surface, but in fact, she was already ready to watch the show. If it weren't for the lack of conditions, she really would have wanted a bucket of popcorn.
Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng, not giving any glance to the woman opposite him. She reminded herself all the time that she couldn't lose her momentum, no matter what their relationship was.
"What? Having a meeting in a coffee shop? What a coincidence," Gu Sisi said in a sarcastic tone.
"Sisi, don't misunderstand. It's not what you think," Huo Cheng defended weakly. He hadn't expected this situation either. Who would have thought that usually such a well - behaved Gu Sisi would do this to him today.
Wasn't this just setting a trap for him to jump into? This woman was really something. They all said that a woman would become stupid for three years after giving birth, but he thought she was really smart.
"Don't misunderstand? Not what I think? Then what do you want me to think?"
Gu Sisi's three consecutive questions came out of the blue, but she didn't give Huo Cheng a chance to answer.
"Great Mr. Huo, do you want me to believe that you're so prophetic that you knew I wanted to drink coffee, so you specifically changed the meeting to a coffee shop, and also specifically reduced the number of participants to just you and a woman? Do you want me to think like this, Great Mr. Huo?"
Huo Cheng felt that he was about to be laughed at by this woman's strange way of thinking. He really wanted to open Gu Sisi's head to see what was inside. How could she have such strange ideas?
