Delayed confession

"The company is planning a New Year's Eve party for celebrities. Can your team take it?"

"I……"

As if noting her hesitation, the man handed her an internal document.

Such documents can usually only be read by those at the level of section chief and above. Xu Weixi paused for a moment and then took it.

"Look, I trust you won't go out and say anything."

The way the man was strategizing made Xu Weixi a little unhappy. It was really not a good feeling to be controlled by someone.

"If you do a good job on this project, it will be helpful for your future promotion. From a public perspective, you are very capable. From a private perspective, you are my junior, so it is better to keep your wealth within the family."

The man's businesslike manner made Xu Weixi let down his guard for a short while.

But she had already promised Gu Mochuan to spend New Year's Eve with him.

But in a moment, the girl gave him the answer he wanted.

"I will come up with the plan tonight. Does Section Chief Jing have any team members in mind?"

The man leaned back in his chair and spread his hands loosely.

"Just decide. I believe in your ability."

"Ok."

As the door closed, the man withdrew his gaze and dialed a mysterious number.

"She agreed, let's start preparing."

-

"I've booked at Fansilou. They have new dishes today. After we finish eating, we'll go to the movies. The latest movies to be released are "The Second Generation of the Fairy" and "

"Gu Mochuan," Xu Weixi said reluctantly, interrupting his plan, "My company arranged for me to follow a New Year's project."

"So, I may... not be able to have dinner with you."

"...It's okay, really. I'll take you back now and cook for you. You know my cooking skills. They're no worse than those in restaurants." After Gu Mochuan finished speaking, he waited nervously.

He was afraid of being rejected again.

Xu Weixi clearly sensed his uneasiness, and said apologetically, "I want to eat crab roe noodles, can you make it?"

"Yes, I'll take you home first, and then go to the supermarket to buy things."

Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window and the happy smile on the man's face, she felt touched and surprised.

I originally thought that someone like him who grew up being complimented by people around him would be relatively domineering and self-centered when it comes to love, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

"Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"

Noticing that the girl was staring at him, Gu Mochuan cockily smoothed his hair with his hands, making his neat hairstyle a little messy, but it still looked good. After all, his superior bone structure and features could not be changed.

Xu Weixi was amused by his actions and raised the corners of her mouth. Her previous depression was swept away. When she got off the car, she imitated his actions and smoothed her hair.

“I think I’m more handsome.”

The tricks played between young lovers are always childish and boring, but the parties involved always enjoy them.

ten minutes later,

Gu Mochuan was humming a song in high spirits while quickly choosing the side dishes for his crab roe noodles. As luck would have it, he bumped into someone from Xu Weixi's company.

Although they hadn't said hello, Gu Mochuan had seen Xu Weixi coming out of the company with them.

If it were any other time, without Xu Weixi's presence, the few of them would have been just passers-by passing by in the supermarket.

But they were talking about Xu Weixi very clearly, so Gu Mochuan, who was holding the lettuce, stopped.

Colleague 1: "Hey, does Xu Weixi from your department have a boyfriend now?"

Colleague 2: "I haven't heard of it. Didn't he break up with the programmer from the Finance Department?"

Colleague 3: "I felt that the two of them were not suitable for each other at the time. How could the man be worthy of her? I heard that the new section chief in their department seemed to be interested in her."

Colleague 2: "Really? I've seen that section chief before. He's very handsome, a bit like a Korean star, Song Seung-heon. Yes, that star."

Colleague 3: "Stop being a bit of a nympho. Our company doesn't approve of office romances. It doesn't matter if you're not in the same department, but if you're in the same department, don't even think about it."

Colleague 2: "What are you afraid of? That guy has a bright future. When they get married, Xiao Xu can just quit her job."

Colleague 4: "Why is it the women who resigned? Why don't the men resign?"

Colleague 5: "No man quits his job, it's always women. You young people just watch too many TV novels."

Colleague 1: "Okay, why are you fighting over this? My husband's sister came to give me something last time and she fell in love with Xiao Xu. She asked me to ask around and if it's a good match, she wanted to connect her son with Xiao Xu. What do you think?"

Colleague 3: "Well, young people nowadays are quite averse to blind dates. You should think about it yourself."

...

...

Looking at the backs of several women, Gu Mochuan quietly wrote down their names in the little notebook in his heart - the handsome section chief, who looked like a Korean star: the child of his colleague's husband's relative, 180cm tall, with a career system.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. After Xu Weixi sent out his finished plan, he stretched comfortably.

The considerate man knocked on the door very appropriately, "Xu Weixi, the meal is ready, you can eat now."

"..."

"Is there something on my face?" Xu Weixi asked after taking a few bites.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like a small fan as she moved. Without the obstruction of her glasses, her big eyes revealed an innocence and loveliness. Gu Mochuan felt a little shy when she was stared at.

Xu Weixi didn't know that he was thinking so much, so she just took a tissue and wiped it.

"Ahem," Gu Mochuan cleared his throat, as if to give himself courage, straightened his chest and raised his head, looking firmly at the vase in front of him.

"Xu Weixi, I think you should give me a name."

"Status? Aren't you my boyfriend now?" Xu Weixi replied calmly.

"But others don't know."

Seeing the man's somewhat aggrieved expression, Xu Weixi patted his arm soothingly.

"Didn't I tell you that if both parents agree to our being together for a year, I will marry you? Isn't that a promise?

Or do you just want to date me without any plans of getting married?"

"Of course not. Dating without the intention of getting married is just hooliganism."

Xu Weixi chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so conservative," then walked towards the kitchen with the bowl in hand.

The sound of water rushing down the wash basin was heard, but the moment he reached out his hand, it was stopped by a hand with distinct bones.

"Dishwashing liquid hurts your hands, get out of here and I'll wash them."

Watching the man chattering while neatly washing the dishes and putting them back in their places, Xu Weixi suddenly felt a strange emotion surging in her heart.

It wasn't the first time I saw him washing dishes, but it was the first time I thought of hiding him.

Gu Mochuan looks overbearing, but he is actually very thoughtful.

Love is unreserved and unswerving. Even if you can't see the way forward, you must still forge a path forward.

Xu Weixi was envious and a little jealous.

"Okay, it's just washing dishes, right? You won't be so moved that you'll cry, will you? Don't worry, whether we're dating or married, I'll take care of all the housework. That's thoughtful, isn't it?"

"Gu Mochuan, has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite virtuous?"

Gu Mochuan's brisk words pulled her out of the trap in her mind. She deliberately reached out to hook his chin and said in a teasing tone.

I don't know which look turned on the two of them, and they started a water splashing game for no apparent reason. They were so engrossed in the game that they didn't hear the sound of the door opening.

"What are you doing?"
