Lin Yuan met Gu Peisi's gaze, secretly wiped the sweat from his head, and said flatteringly: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu will not do this."

In Lin Yuan's mind, although Mr. Gu is cold, he will not be ruthless to his employees.

The old man snorted coldly, "Gu kid, your employees are quite good at speaking for you."

After a while, the old man explained why he was angry.

"This morning, Lao Xu asked you why you haven't planned to have children even though you've been married for several years. He also compared you with Lao Li's son. You are the same age, but his child is old enough to help with cooking. Now, give me an answer. When do you plan to have children?"

For Gu Peisi, this is a headache.

Shen Qingli even wants to divorce, how can they have children?

But he couldn't tell the old man about these things.

After a moment of silence, Gu Peisi gave a reasonable explanation: "Grandpa, it's my fault. I made you worried. I will have a good talk with Qingli about this tonight."

He looked at Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, go and book a private room. My wife and I will have dinner there tonight."

Lin Yuan received the order and looked relieved. "Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll arrange it right away."

Gu Peisi's actions made the old man very satisfied.

He patted Gu Peisi's shoulder and said earnestly: "I don't want to control you too much, I just hope that you can be good to her."

The old man looked a little lonely, and his aged face was full of traces of time.

He is like a wise man, passing on his experience to the younger generation.

Gu Peisi lowered his eyelids, his voice a little dull, "Grandpa, I know."

After a long while, the assistant's voice came from outside the door, "Boss Gu, the meeting is about to start."

Gu Peisi raised his head from the documents and said to the door, "I'll be right over, Xiao Chen, take the old man to dinner."

Old Master Gu pounded his aching waist and said calmly, "Oh, kid Gu, don't bother me. You guys go and do your work. I'll go back to the old house to eat."

Gu Peisi gave his assistant a look, and the assistant immediately understood and took the old man downstairs.

. . . . .

The lights were turned on and the moonlight poured through the window into the room.

After Jian Xi left, Shen Qingli suddenly had an inspiration and plunged into the studio.

She finished a painting, looked up from her work, and rubbed her interfering eyes.

I glanced out the window casually and saw that it was already pitch black outside. It was already night.

She looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the evening.

There were several missed calls on the phone, and the person who called the most was actually Gu Peisi.

She thought of what Jian Xi said during the day and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Just then, Gu Peisi called again.

Shen Qingli didn't want to answer the call, but the other party seemed to be competing with her and kept calling.

Getting annoyed with the call, Shen Qingli clicked the answer button.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Gu Peisi was feeling a little upset because of work, but when he heard her voice, he immediately calmed down.

Why didn't he realize before that her voice had the power to soothe people?

"You haven't had dinner yet, come down, I'll take you to dinner."

Shen Qingli rubbed her hungry stomach. Although she really wanted to eat, she didn't want to eat with him.

She immediately refused: "No, I've already eaten."

At this moment, her stomach happened to growl.

Gu Peisi, who was on the other side, heard her hungry sound and his tone suddenly became heavier. "Didn't you say you had eaten? Then what was that sound just now? Shen Qingli, don't think I'm easy to fool. I'll give you three minutes now, come down immediately, or I'll come up to find you."

"Don't, I'll be right down."

Shen Qingli felt a little embarrassed when her lie was exposed in public, but she was more afraid that he would come up to her directly.

Once, she met a grandma downstairs, who asked her why her husband didn't come over.

Shen Qingli didn't react at that time, and the old lady reminded her that it was that cold handsome guy.

It was then that she realized that the old lady recognized Gu Peisi.

If Gu Peisi came up at this time and met the old lady again, she would have to explain again.

Shen Qingli closed the door of the studio, tidied up casually, and went downstairs.

At the entrance of the community, a black car was parked on the side of the road.

Gu Peisi was leaning against the car window, his head lowered, typing.

In the moonlight, his profile was reflected in the light, making the outline of his face look even colder.

Hearing the sound of approaching, he raised his head and met Shen Qingli's gaze.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through people at a glance.

For some reason, Shen Qingli's breathing quickened when she saw such a look.

As soon as she approached, Gu Peisi put away his phone, walked over to her, and grabbed her wrist.

Shen Qingli struggled for a while, but the other party held her tightly and didn't allow her to break free.

She used her other hand to pat Gu Peisi's arm repeatedly, her voice trembling slightly, "Gu Peisi, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Peisi grabbed her rebellious hand and said sternly, "Don't move. I'm afraid you'll run away."

His expression was very cold, as if it were true.

Shen Qingli rolled her eyes silently and stopped struggling, "Gu Peisi, who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who would go back on my word after promising others?"

"I'm not like you. I agreed to a divorce but then changed my mind at the last minute."

This sentence clearly accuses her of breaking his promise.

Gu Peisi actually heard some grievance.

He let go of her hand and looked at her sideways, "Shen Qingli, I promised you about the divorce, but now I regret it."

This was the first time he had received a response in so many times.

Shen Qingli questioned him, wanting to get a definite answer: "Why? Are you afraid of affecting the company's stock market?"

The stock market? Well, although their divorce would affect the stock market, it wouldn't be very noticeable.

If he wasn't afraid of making his grandfather angry, he wouldn't have regretted it.

Yes, it was because of his grandfather that Gu Peisi kept finding excuses and deliberately ignored the voice in his heart.

His silence confirmed Shen Qingli's guess.

So it was really like this. What was she still expecting?

Did she expect him to say that he liked her? She knew that was impossible.

So, she calmed down and said, "So what do you want to talk to me about tonight? Tell me quickly, I have something else to do."

Gu Peisi frowned. He felt that she was in a bad mood at the moment.

"You didn't eat, didn't you? I'll treat you to a meal as an apology for my regret."

Shen Qingli was stunned, with some disbelief in her eyes.

Even the high and mighty Gu Peisi will have to humble himself one day.

After coming back to her senses, she said calmly, "No, no need to bother."

Seeing that she didn't react, Gu Peisi said firmly, "No, I've already booked a restaurant."

In order not to waste money, Shen Qingli finally agreed.

Hearing her agree, Gu Peisi seemed relieved.
