Delayed confession

The sudden sound brought the two back to reality. Looking at the messy kitchen, Xu Weixi awkwardly used a rag to wipe the water stains on the wall, while Gu Mochuan pulled the uninvited guest back to the room.

Unsure of what he had just seen, Shen Ruoxuan opened his eyes wide and asked,

"You and my aunt are together?"

"Ah."

Gu Mochuan hesitated for a moment, then came to his senses and patted his head.

"What are you looking at? We are both adults, what's wrong with having a relationship?"

"Adults?"

Shen Ruoxuan curled his lips, threw his schoolbag on the bed, and sat on the bed opposite him.

"Hey, why did my aunt suddenly agree? Has our previous efforts been seen?"

"What do you mean by we? It's me. Your aunt has seen the outside world and thinks I'm the best."

Shen Ruoxuan: “…” Such a cool and handsome guy, why is he so shy when it comes to love?

-

The stars are shining brightly, and the stars' fans are waving all kinds of silver glow sticks with happy smiles on their faces. The artificial lights and the stars at night complement each other, welcoming the arrival of 2018.

Xu Weixi, in work clothes, looked at the crowd, trying to spot Gu Mochuan with her good eyesight, but it was obviously unrealistic.

Xu Weixi: [Have you arrived yet? ]

Gu Mochuan: [Not yet, I’m stuck in traffic. I’ve already taken a detour. It will probably take another half an hour.]

Xu Weixi: [Okay, be safe, and call me when you get there.]

Gu Mochuan: [Okay, kiss JGP]

"Wei Xi, it's about to start, let's go over there."

Hearing her colleague's call, she put her mobile phone in her pocket, put on her mask, picked up her black sports bag, and walked over.

……

Xu Weixi, who was concentrating on his work, suddenly raised his head from the computer and looked around in confusion.

"what happened?"

Wang Lingling took the time to look at her.

"I just felt like someone was watching us."

"Well, who is it?" She looked around and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wei Xi, there are many stars today,"

"Ah."

"There are also many celebrity agents and entertainment company owners. Will they..."

"Okay," Xu Weixi was amused by her expression.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. Stop fantasizing. I think instead of thinking about being valued as a commodity, it's better to think about how much more our year-end bonus will be this year."

"Year-end bonus? The year-end bonus has been paid out."

"..."

Silence is Cambridge tonight...

The company does not allow salary discussions in private, so the two of them turned their eyes back to their devices.

Why haven't I received my year-end bonus yet? Is there something wrong?

Xu Weixi didn't show any expression on his face, but he was nervous inside. Finally, he decided to wait until he finished work before asking the finance department.

As the sound became more and more heated, the damp and cold air began to warm up. After a busy night, the party finally came to an end and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xu Weixi watched the click rate of articles on the official account continue to rise, and a sense of accomplishment surged from her heart. Even though she couldn't see her face under the mask, she could still tell that she was smiling, a very happy smile.

“Dear audience friends, the party is coming to an end and the new year is about to begin. Let us welcome our world, our 2018, with our best wishes…”

The host's beautiful voice pushed the audience's enthusiasm even higher, and the colorful fireworks directly illuminated the night sky.

Xu Weixi suddenly felt her cell phone vibrate and happily answered it.

One of them was in the audience and the other at his workstation. Under the same night sky, they looked at each other quietly through the phone screens.

The background of the fireworks is gorgeous and dazzling, but the people are more beautiful than the scenery.

"Happy New Year, girlfriend."

"Happy New Year,"

Xu Weixi paused deliberately, and when she saw the expectant look of the man opposite her gradually turn into disappointment, she deliberately changed the subject and said softly,

"Boy friend."

Looking at his expression that was obviously surprised but pretending to be calm, Xu Weixi despised herself a little.

She clearly knew that the relationship between the two of them would not work out, but she still dragged him into the vortex in order to escape reality and kept making excuses for herself.

Xu Weixi, aren't you afraid of backlash?

...

...

All the colleagues around her ran out to watch the fireworks, and she was inexplicably the only one left working. Xu Weixi put her phone on the table and chatted with Gu Mochuan while revising the manuscript.

"Wei Xi."

A deep voice suddenly sounded in this empty area, startling Xu Weixi so much that he turned his head back timidly.

"I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

The brown long coat made him look tall and slender. Xu Weixi raised his head and found that it was Jingchu. He stood up quickly.

"Chief Jing, why are you here?"

Seeing him staring at her motionlessly, Xu Weixi placed the notebook in front of him.

“The numbers tonight were very good.”

The man gently brushed aside the computer and placed a thick envelope in front of her. "I know, this is the bonus given to your group by the headquarters."

cash?

As if seeing her confusion, Jingchu explained,

"Everyone was busy celebrating the holidays, so they paid in cash and asked me to pass it on."

Xu Weixi thought about it, and finally reached out to take it.

"Thank you, please."

"What's the use of saying thank you between us?" He then took out a small square black box from his pocket.

"This is a gift from you to celebrate the success of your project."

As the box opened, Xu Weixi saw the item inside clearly. It was a simple golden bracelet with a strawberry pattern and a flower design on it. The craftsmanship alone showed that this was not an ordinary bracelet.

"I'll bring it for you."

Xu Weixi came back to his senses, smiled and took a step back.

"The project is done by five of us. Senior, would you like to give each of us a Van Cleef & Arpels piece?"

This bracelet is more expensive than the bonus he gave. The meaning is self-evident.

"Wei Xi, I heard that you are single again, so I should have the right to pursue you."

Jing Chu took the things back like a gentleman, his eyes dark as he looked at her seriously and said.

"I have a boyfriend." Xu Weixi gave a simple and clear answer.

Such a straightforward answer made the man feel a little overwhelmed. He always thought that the last words were an excuse.

"But I heard from them that you just broke up..."

The implication is that you shouldn't get into another relationship so quickly.

Xu Weixi looked at him with amusement, "Senior, do you mean that I should be trapped in love and depressed for a while?"

"Of course not, that's not what I meant... I'll stand in line, okay? You're not married, so I have the right to pursue you, right?"

If the person in front of her was just a senior in school, she could naturally persuade him to leave regardless of the consequences, but the other party was also her superior, so Xu Weixi could only smile helplessly.

"I'm done with my work here, I'm leaving now."

Xu Weixi looked at the phone in her hand that was still on, and suddenly she looked forward to Gu Mochuan's performance with some evil interest.

The girl walked towards the parking lot with a sweet look on her face, not noticing the secret camera behind her at all.

Gong Wuning looked at the picture on the camera and his face became increasingly ferocious.
