Jiang Wanqing looked at the three words jumping on the phone screen.

【Gu Shiche】

She felt like she was holding a hot potato and quickly threw the phone onto the bed.

The phone rolled a few times and fell into the soft quilt.

The ringing of the cell phone was like a death warrant, so loud that it made her ears hurt.

Jiang Wanqing covered her mouth with her hands and screamed loudly, "Ah ...

It felt like an acquaintance who had been dead for half a year suddenly turned into a zombie and crawled out of the grave.

She quickly ran to the kitchen, picked up the pot lid, quickly covered the phone with it, and then hid aside.

It’s like a cell phone is a bomb that can explode at any time.

The phone suddenly stopped ringing.

Jiang Wanqing tiptoed over and lifted the lid of the pot to check.

Gu Shiche hung up, and a red missed call appeared on the screen.

Jiang Wanqing's little hands holding the phone were shaking, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and her face was very hot.

Why did Gu Shiche suddenly call her... How scary!

Jiang Wanqing held the phone against her chest, feeling the heat behind her ears.

She wondered if there was something urgent...

After all, Gu Shiche hadn't contacted her for half a year.

She hasn't spoken a word to Gu Shiche in the past six months, and she won't even send him a group message of holiday greetings.

Gu Shiche should be the kind of person who wouldn't call her unless it was absolutely necessary.

So, if he called her, there must be something important.

For example...something happened to Brother Lu Qi!

Jiang Wanqing held the phone, her fingertips hovering above the words "Gu Shiche" on the screen, but she hesitated to press it.

She thought again, if it was something important and she didn't answer the call, Gu Shiche should have called again.

If I call back right now, will it seem like I've been expecting his call?

Jiang Wanqing frowned and paced back and forth in the small room.

Ah! So annoying! Why does she have to do analysis?

Jiang Wanqing put her hands on her hips, took a deep breath, pressed her fingers hard, and dialed Gu Shiche's number.

beep - beep - beep -

"Hey."

A man's cold and magnetic voice came from the receiver, and Jiang Wanqing's mind went blank for a moment.

Her left hand, which was holding the phone, was shaking, and she quickly used her right hand to support her elbow to steady herself.

Jiang Wanqing swallowed and uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Why...why are you calling? Is...something wrong?"

She pretended to be calm, but she was actually so panicked that she didn't even notice that her voice was trembling.

Gu Shiche's tone was cold and deep, "Oh, wrong number, sorry."

Wrong! Hit!?!

Jiang Wanqing remained silent and was so angry that she almost crushed her phone.

There was a moment of silence, and she spoke almost through gritted teeth, her tone slightly heavier.

"Oh, it turned out to be a typo. Mr. Gu actually made such a low-level mistake."

"Then I'll block and delete it now, so you won't make the wrong call next time."

Jiang Wanqing's eyes were heavy, and she was about to hang up the phone when a man's icy voice came from the receiver.

"I'm in the US now. Do you want to go out for a cup of coffee?"

Jiang Wanqing's finger was hovering above the red hang-up button, and her movement suddenly stopped.

She silently covered the microphone of her phone, then rolled over and over in her bed holding the phone, screaming silently.

Ah! What’s going on!!!

After not contacting Gu Shiche for half a year, he suddenly asked her out for coffee?!

Gu Shiche's cold and hoarse voice came from the receiver again, like a gentle call.

"Hey?"

Jiang Wanqing quickly sat up straight, looking righteous.

She instinctively wanted to refuse. If she met Gu Shiche now, all her efforts over the past six months would be in vain.

She wanted to find herself, break away from Gu Shiche's control, and pursue her own life.

For a while, she almost forgot about Gu Shiche's existence, but only almost.

She simply couldn't forget it!

But at this moment, Jiang Wanqing's eyes fell on the glowing computer screen.

Her eyes fell on the line of English.

[Analyzing the Gu Group's successful experience in developing financial markets...]

Suddenly, a small glowing light bulb appeared above Jiang Wanqing's head, and inspiration burst out.

Ding!

How about having a cup of coffee and asking him to help you with your homework? Otherwise, you'll have to scratch your head and lose all your hair before you can finish it.

The man's magnetic voice came again from the receiver.

"Hey, forget it if you don't want to."

Jiang Wanqing quickly took the phone and put it to her ear.

“Well…well, you can drink it!!!”

Wait, your tone seems too excited.

Jiang Wanqing coughed twice and deliberately lowered her voice, "Sure, I just want to drink coffee. Let's talk about the time and place."

That cold and familiar voice came.

"Well, come on down then."

?

The small light bulb above Jiang Wanqing's head turned into a big red question mark.

"Come down? Where?"

"Come to the terrace."

Jiang Wanqing suddenly woke up. She ran to the terrace full of roses and looked down while grabbing the railing.

!!!

The question mark above his head turned into three big exclamation marks.

Outside the building, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, and the clear blue was unspeakable.

Downstairs, Gu Shiche stood in front of a black car.

He was wearing black trousers, a white shirt, and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his smooth muscle lines. He looked tall and straight, and particularly noble.

He looked particularly out of place on the European-style street, and everyone passing by turned back to look at Gu Shiche.

Gu Shiche hung up the phone silently, raised his hand and beckoned to Jiang Wanqing upstairs.

"Come down."

Jiang Wanqing's mind exploded and she almost dropped her phone.

Oh my god! She's still in her pajamas! Her hair is all messy!

How did he know her address? Was he secretly investigating her again?

Jiang Wanqing quickly squatted down and hid among the rose bushes.

"I...I suddenly don't feel like drinking coffee anymore, so...let's just forget it."

Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible on the street.

Gu Shiche's black eyes slowly raised, catching her figure in the pink flower wall.

"Then I'll go up." He said casually.

"No!" A little head popped out from the flowers, and the little face turned red.

"Wait a minute! I'll be right down!"

Jiang Wanqing quickly ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed her face with water.

She tied her hair up hastily, found her clothes and quickly put them on.

Damn it! Shouldn't she have dressed up more elegantly for our reunion? Now she's just wearing some random clothes like she's going downstairs to take out the trash.

But...why do you have to dress up so elegantly, as if meeting him is such a big deal?

It's meant to look casual.

Wait a minute, what kind of personality is he now? Never mind.

Jiang Wanqing hesitated for a long time, but still put the laptop in her bag and went downstairs.

Gu Shiche looked thinner, with sharp and smooth jaw lines, and his whole body was coated with a layer of golden light by the sunlight.

Those familiar black eyes slowly turned and looked at Jiang Wanqing not far away.

He stood up and walked towards her with his long legs.
