However, this smile seemed a bit dazzling to Gu Qianxue. "So that's how it is. No wonder," she said.
"Yeah, okay. If there's nothing else, Miss Gu, we'll head back to the capital first. The design draft will probably be ready in about ten-odd days," Ding Ruola forced a smile and brought up the matter of the design draft.
She didn't want to get entangled with Gu Qianxue about Fang Siyan anymore.
"Great. I'm looking forward to your work."
Ding Ruola was wearing a fruit - green mink - wool high - necked loose sweater on top, a mid - length pink - checked woolen dress below, and a pair of khaki short Dr. Martens boots on her feet. She looked cute and playful.
Claudia was dressed in a black jacket with the zipper open and the collar turned out, revealing the leopard - print lining inside. He looked fierce and imposing.
Coupled with his almost perfect, devilishly handsome face, people couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
The two had just gotten off the plane and arrived at the domestic airport.
[Baby, are you done with work? I've finished my business and will be back soon.]
[I'm back. Just arrived at the domestic airport.]
A message from Fang Siyan popped up on her phone.
Ding Ruola replied with just one sentence and then put down her phone. She didn't really want to pay attention. Actually, she felt a bit wronged.
Gu Qianxue's words still echoed in her ears: "Brother Siyan is the only person I want to marry in my whole life. I believe, I believe he loves me too. It's just that he lost his memory... If he hadn't lost his memory, we would have been a couple long ago."
Memory loss? Did that mean that if Fang Siyan still remembered Gu Qianxue, he wouldn't be with her? When exactly did Fang Siyan lose his memory?
What other things about him didn't she know?
Ding Ruola was in a gloomy mood. She didn't know why herself, although she knew she should trust Fang Siyan.
The airport was crowded with a large flow of people.
Claudia was very gentlemanly and stood in front of Ding Ruola to protect her from being squeezed by the crowd.
But just as they were walking towards the West Square, a man suddenly rushed up from behind and tried to snatch the bag from Ding Ruola's hand.
The incident happened so suddenly that Ding Ruola didn't react in time. She was rather thin and weak, and after struggling a couple of times, she ran out of strength.
Claudia, however, was quick - witted and stepped in front of Ding Ruola, getting entangled with the mugger.
Claudia had a perfect set of European genes.
His face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and he had a strong and muscular body.
Moreover, Claudia had received professional training. In contrast, the mugger was thin and was no match for him at all.
Ding Ruola was calling the police behind, and the security guards at the airport were also rushing over.
Claudia subdued the mugger in a few moves. But the man still struggled and refused to give in.
Just when the mugger was at a disadvantage and almost couldn't hold on anymore, Ding Ruola behind Claudia was accidentally knocked down to the ground.
Claudia turned his head to look at Ding Ruola.
Distracted for a moment, he gave the mugger an opportunity.
The mugger took out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed Claudia in the waist.
The mugger turned around and ran, but was caught by the police not far away.
It seemed quite serious. Claudia's expression was strained. He covered the wound with his hand, and bright red blood oozed out from between his fingers.
Ding Ruola quickly got up from the ground, called an ambulance, and sent him to the hospital.
In an independent VIP ward, it was clean, tidy, and rather spacious. There were five or six people standing or sitting inside.
Claudia was half - lying in the bed, wearing a hospital gown. Mei Xuejian had one hand in his pocket and was sitting on the edge of the bed with one leg bent.
The sunlight behind him shone through the window and cast a graceful shadow of the young man on the ground.
"Generally, an injury to the soft tissue isn't too serious, but the knife hit the patient's blood vessels and nerves. He needs to be hospitalized for two months," Ding Ruola brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Claudia.
Jiang Chen was standing beside with her arms crossed. She was wearing a mink coat and a short leather skirt, looking unruly.
But the concern in her eyes couldn't be hidden. "What happened? This guy was so ruthless! Where's the robber? Call him here and let me stab him back!"
"It was just an accident. The perpetrator has been taken away by the police," Claudia said weakly, looking a bit pale but still wearing a faint smile on his lips.
Jiang Chen raised her eyebrows, looking a bit impatient, but didn't say anything else.
"Coming, coming. Mr. Claudia, have some porridge! I queued for a long time to buy it!" Lu Hui walked in from the door carrying a big plastic bag.
She was wearing a light - colored school - style dress, looking young and beautiful.
She put the plastic bag on the table and took out several bowls of porridge from it. "Everyone, have some porridge! I queued for two hours. The porridge from this place is super delicious."
Some were standing, some were sitting, and some were lying as they all ate porridge in unison.
It was like a scene of brothers in trouble on the street, sharing weal and woe!
"How's the order from the Gu family going?" Jiang Chen stood there, quickly finished her porridge in a few mouthfuls, then flicked her finger and casually threw the box into the trash can. She looked neat and handsome.
"Well. We've decided to adopt the style of the Central Country's gardens. I've uploaded the specific data to the group. Everyone, work hard on the design and planning," Ding Ruola scooped up a big spoonful of porridge and put it into her mouth, looking satisfied.
I have to say, the porridge was really sweet and delicious.
"Oh. How many design drafts are we going to prepare?" Jiang Chen looked down at the document Ding Ruola had sent in the group and asked casually.
"Um, this project is a team effort. For the first draft of the design, if anyone has an idea, submit one. We'll discuss it. After determining the first draft, we'll move on to the next step. We have about ten - odd days," Claudia sat on the bed and slowly finished a bowl of porridge. He looked very serious.
But due to the injury, he was a bit weak, with a pale face. However, he still exuded a kind of sickly beauty.
Mei Xuejian was half - sitting on the bed, eating his porridge slowly spoon by spoon. His idol aura was always there.
Seeing everyone enjoying the porridge so much, Lu Hui felt a great sense of accomplishment.
However, after everyone had finished eating, she silently took out a second bowl and started eating. Instantly, she was in the spotlight.
A bit embarrassed, Lu Hui carefully looked around. "Um, well, cough, everyone is done eating, right? I, I have a big appetite, haha."
A big appetite? If you had a big appetite, you wouldn't weigh only 86 pounds and look so petite and delicate! Eating a lot but not getting fat? It made everyone even more jealous!
Lu Hui quickly lowered her head and ate ravenously as if someone was going to snatch the food from her.
Everyone: "..." Rolled their eyes!
"Anyway, Claudia, you should just focus on recuperating. We'll handle the design draft. We'll let you review it after we've made a decision. What do you think?" Ding Ruola finally finished her porridge.
