Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore
Chapter 26 Tit for tat
Jiang Qitian didn't want to accept it, because after today he would be an adult, and he didn't want Gu Yan to treat him as a child forever.
Unexpectedly, He Li, who was standing by, stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed the red envelope as if it was his due: "Since he doesn't want it, then give it to me."
Gu Yan hadn't expected He Li to suddenly act like a rogue. The best way to deal with a rogue is to give him a taste of his own medicine. Gu Yan pulled a chair over and sat aside, pretending to be embarrassed and saying, "Boss He makes a fortune every day, how could he be so indifferent to such a small amount of money? If it's a red envelope, it should be you who gives it to me."
He Li extended his middle finger and touched his forehead, saying helplessly, "I knew I couldn't escape. Here, I've been prepared for this."
Gu Yan watched He Li stand up and come to her side, then he really took out a small gift box from his body. When he opened it, he found that it was a necklace.
Jiang Qitian stood up immediately after seeing this and said, "Boss He, a necklace is a very personal thing. It's not appropriate for you to give this to Sister Gu Yan."
He Li looked at Jiang Qitian. He really disliked this kid.
"Who said it doesn't fit? I think it fits." He Li has always been a very stubborn person. Regardless of whether Gu Yan is willing or not, he just put it on her.
Gu Yan didn't know what was wrong with He Li. He seemed a little abnormal today, as if he was angry about something but had no place to vent.
Gu Yan had no choice but to send Jiang Qitian away first.
"Xiaotian, the relationship between Heli and me is not as simple as you see it. I will explain it to you next time I have the chance. Now, please go to the kitchen and wash some fruit."
Jiang Qitian always listened to Gu Yan's words. He had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen.
Only after Jiang Qitian went to the kitchen did Gu Yan look at He Li.
"What do you mean?"
"From what you saw, why is our relationship so difficult to talk about? He's not your biological son, so why do you care about him so much?"
If Gu Yan was still thanking He Li for accompanying her to find someone in the previous second, then in this second Gu Yan regretted bringing Jiang Qitian to stay in the manor today.
"He Li, you are very annoying." If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to deliberately be mean.
What Gu Yan hated most was being suspected by others. The main thing was that the object of suspicion was He Li, the lover she once deeply trusted and relied on.
She didn't ask for their relationship to really go back to the way it was before, but at least she hoped that they could retain some of their dignity.
But to He Li, these words had a different meaning. He suddenly approached Gu Yan, grabbed her arm with one hand, his eyes full of self-mockery and anger.
"Hate me, Gu Yan, do you think I'm still afraid that you hate me? Am I too good to you, making you think you can control me like before? How can you be so naive!"
At this moment, Jiang Qitian came out with a fruit plate. He Li instantly let go of Gu Yan's arm and went upstairs without saying a word.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Qitian asked as he looked at He Li going upstairs alone, but Gu Yan shook her head.
Tonight, Jiang Qitian stayed in the smallest guest room at the innermost part of the third floor. Shen Anan had cleaned that room frequently before, so it was considered clean.
Previously, He Li took Jiang Qitian to buy some daily necessities, which saved Gu Yan a lot of trouble.
After Jiang Qitian and Gu Yan said good night to each other, Gu Yan returned to her room to wash up and her fingers touched the necklace.
She shook her head and put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind. After everything was tidied up, Gu Yan lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
After glancing at her phone, it was already 11:58. In two minutes it would be New Year's Eve. Gu Yan pursed her lips, and finally lifted the quilt and walked towards He Li's door.
"Dong dong dong."
After knocking on the door a few times, there was no sound from inside the house, so Gu Yan knocked three more times.
Just when Gu Yan thought He Li would not open the door, the door creaked open.
He Li had finished washing up at this time, and there were still some water stains on the ends of his hair. He Li looked less majestic and more gentle.
Just as Gu Yan was about to say something, He Li pulled her in and the door was gently closed.
I don't know how the distance between the two of them became so close. He Li's eyes were staring at Gu Yan like a sharp leopard, and Gu Yan couldn't escape at all.
Two seconds later, the entire city became a sea of fireworks. The fireworks outside the window kept jumping and blooming, and the flickering light in the house shone on the two people.
"Heli, Happy New Year."
Gu Yan originally had a lot to say to He Li, but in the end she just wanted to share the joy of the New Year with him at this moment.
"Happy New Year." He Li did not expect Gu Yan to come to him. He originally thought that Gu Yan might have a cold war with him again.
He Li let go of Gu Yan and then turned on the lights in the room. Only then did Gu Yan feel a little cold. She was only wearing simple pajamas and not even socks on her feet.
"Please help me blow dry my hair as a return gift for the necklace."
Gu Yan has always been a person who is soft-hearted and does not like to be tough. Facing He Li, who has such a baby-voiced voice, she couldn't say no.
When He Li sat quietly on the bed, Gu Yan was already standing beside him. She plugged in the power and turned on the hair dryer.
The sound of the hair dryer was running quietly in the room. He Li closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility in front of him.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Gu Yan did not ask him directly what happened today, but gave He Li an opportunity to speak.
But what He Li said embarrassed Gu Yan: "If you have something to say, I have something to say."
Gu Yan touched He Li's hair, which was almost done. She turned off the hair dryer and looked at He Li with some wariness in her eyes. In the end, the two of them were unable to be honest with each other.
"It's late, I'm sleepy, good night."
Gu Yan wanted to leave, but He Li pulled Gu Yan and made her sit on his lap the next second.
"Heli, you..."
"Let me hold you for a while, just for a while." He Li was unable to express his thoughts, but this did not mean that he did not want to rely on her. He really just held Gu Yan quietly for two minutes, and then really let Gu Yan go.
Just as Gu Yan was about to escape, He Li's words stung her heart.
"Don't come into my room casually next time, or I'll think you want to sacrifice yourself."
He Li's words were also a warning to himself. He was too soft-hearted towards Gu Yan, and he actually let Gu Yan go tonight.
"Okay, there won't be a next time."
Gu Yan bit her lip. She was really crazy just now. She was actually worried about He Li. He was obviously the coldest animal in the world. No matter what happened in the future, she would never care about him again even if she was beaten to death.
Everyone is sincere when they make a vow, but they are also sincere when they break their vow next time.
