What did she want to do? Of course, she wanted to tug at his hair.
That's what Shen Youjin was thinking, but she showed nothing on her face.
"You once said I'd always have special privileges with you. How come you're so on guard just because I came here to chat? Can't I drop by when I'm free?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan was a bit taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he realized Shen Youjin was right.
"Then let's chat!" He switched to a more relaxed tone. "Just running out like this, won't your business partner have any objections?"
He knew how important Ling Qiuqiu was to Shen Youjin. Just from the subtle gestures Shen Youjin made to take care of Ling Qiuqiu on the opening day, it was obvious how much she valued this girl.
Shen Youjin replied casually, "I told her in advance."
Gu Zhiyuan teased her, saying that she was now a female CEO. Shen Youjin just smiled it off.
Her eyes fell on Gu Zhiyuan's handsomely styled hair without a trace. After chatting for a while, she suddenly got an idea.
"Gu Zhiyuan..." She suddenly leaned closer to him. Her clear eyes were like twinkling stars, making one's heart flutter. "You've got gray hairs."
Gu Zhiyuan was captivated by her eyes. Before he could react, her jade - like fingers had already landed on his head and plucked out a few hairs.
"Ouch!" Maybe she pulled a bit too hard. Gu Zhiyuan frowned. "Let me see."
Shen Youjin subtly hid a few black hairs and only showed him one gray hair. "Look, you've been over - stressed."
You're so scheming. You deserve it!
Gu Zhiyuan stared at the gray hair, lost in thought. Was he really getting old?
"Okay, I have to go back." She stood up calmly. "Aren't you going to have a meeting? I won't bother you anymore."
Only then did Gu Zhiyuan come to his senses. Looking at the untouched waffle, he asked, "You're leaving already?"
He felt that it hadn't even been five minutes since she came in, and there was always a strange feeling.
Shen Youjin turned around, looking at his always gentle and handsome face. "See you another day! If you want to find me, Zhuguang is always welcome to you."
After saying that, she stepped out of Gu Zhiyuan's office. It was not until she got into the elevator that Shen Youjin finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was so scared. Just now, she didn't even dare to look back, for fear that this old fox would notice something.
She opened her palm, looking at the few hairs she had just plucked, and then went back to the testing institution again.
"This is sample No. 2."
Having seen Shen Youjin twice in the morning, even the doctor was a bit in awe of her strong sense of action.
When she came out of the testing institution again, it was still raining heavily outside. It seemed as if the rain wouldn't stop until it had its fill.
Wearing a mask, she stood at the door, her fingers gently touching her lower abdomen. There were still Fu Qingye and Jiang Zeshen left. As long as she was careful, there wouldn't be any accidents with these two men.
However, it was a bit difficult with Li Nanchuan. Even though it was a fake engagement, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Nanchuan and Bai Ningxi were still "a married couple".
If she went to see Li Nanchuan alone and was seen by someone, it would surely stir up a new storm. At a time when Zhuguang had just opened, she really didn't want to see such a scene!
"Maybe I should use the process of elimination?" she murmured to herself.
As long as she got samples from these four men, if none of them was the father, the result would be obvious.
If one of them was the father of the child, then it didn't really matter whether to test Li Nanchuan or not.
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately shook her head. Forget it. If there was a wrong elimination, it would be very difficult to get these men's hair again. They would surely notice.
Thinking like this, she got into the car. While turning the car key, she called Jiang Zeshen.
Because of her resolute attitude before, as soon as Jiang Zeshen saw her number, he immediately answered the call without even a second's hesitation.
"Xiaojin, have you forgiven me?"
Shen Youjin pursed her lips. "Are you free now? It's noon. Let's have lunch together."
After all this commotion, she hadn't eaten anything except a cup of hot water.
Jiang Zeshen readily agreed and asked for her location to pick her up.
"No need. I'm almost there. I'll send you the location."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, removed Jiang Zeshen from the blacklist, and sent him the specific location of the restaurant.
She arrived early and booked a private room. After waiting for about ten - odd minutes, Jiang Zeshen appeared in front of her.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Even though he was holding an umbrella, there were still traces of wetness on his trouser legs.
In the past, in such a heavy rainstorm, no one could have made him come out.
But because it was Shen Youjin, he still came.
These days when she ignored him were even more torturous than when she broke up with him. For so long, except for Xia Linlang, he had never experienced such a feeling.
Moreover, this feeling was even stronger than when Xia Linlang left.
"Have a seat!" Shen Youjin smiled naturally. "I've already ordered the dishes. If you want to add something, just tell the waiter."
Maybe her tone was too calm. Jiang Zeshen had a feeling that she was here to say goodbye to him.
Those who really leave never make a fuss. They're just like Shen Youjin. His previous joy instantly vanished.
"Xiaojin." Jiang Zeshen looked at her, having no intention of ordering food. "I'd like to apologize to you again for what happened before. I've thought it over carefully. I really didn't respect your feelings. I can guarantee that there won't be such a situation again in the future, okay?"
Shen Youjin just stared at his hair. "It's all in the past. Let's just enjoy our meal today and not mention these things."
Shen Youjin had long put these contradictions aside. She separated the issues and only wanted to achieve her goal.
Jiang Zeshen silently scrutinized her. Shen Youjin's behavior was very abnormal, but there was nothing wrong with what she said.
After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things."
Shen Youjin responded. When the food came, she filled her stomach first. While coming back from the bathroom, she did the same trick as before, and there were a few more hairs of Jiang Zeshen in her hand.
Jiang Zeshen stared at Shen Youjin in shock. "Xiaojin?"
Shen Youjin smiled. "It's okay. I felt your hair quality was really good. I accidentally pulled too hard. Sorry."
Jiang Zeshen looked completely confused. But the next second, he called the waiter to pay the bill, then stood up and said, "I'll leave first. See you."
After saying that, she turned around and left directly. Her actions were so smooth that Jiang Zeshen didn't even have time to say a word.
Jiang Zeshen stood there, always feeling that something was wrong, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.
Shen Youjin's call was very strange, and this meal was also very strange. But he just couldn't figure out what was wrong!
