When the abusive male protagonist wakes up
Chapter 23
Tao An's hand that was about to knock on the door stopped.
There were faint voices in the office, because the sound insulation was very good, he couldn't hear what was said inside, but he was very happy to hear Gu Haoxing's voice.
Tao An's heart tightened, and he suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
Before he could make up his mind to leave, Gu Haoxing caught a glimpse of a figure at the door from the corner of his eye. Because the door was made of frosted glass, he could clearly see someone outside.
Gu Haoxing asked suspiciously, "Who is outside?"
He thought it was Xiao Jiang, and in half an hour he asked Xiao Jiang to go to South Beauty to pack food, and planned to have dinner with Tang Li in the office, and he should be back by now.
Hearing Gu Haoxing's voice, Tao An could only bite the bullet and push the door open and walked in.
Seeing that it was Tao An, Gu Haoxing was startled, and subconsciously pushed Tang Li away.
Tang Li was pushed away without warning, and his back hit the back of the sofa, resentment flashed in his eyes, and his white nails dug into his flesh fiercely.
Gu Haoxing stood up guiltily, "Why are you?"
When Tao An saw Tang Li beside him, his expression froze.
Tang Li quickly concealed his expression and smiled calmly, "Mr. Tao, we meet again."
Tao An tightened his grip on the insulation box, wondering why the other party appeared in Gu Haoxing's office.
Gu Haoxing was worried about what Tao An would see, so he deliberately changed the topic, "Why are you here?"
Tao An lifted the insulated box in his hand and said softly, "I made glutinous rice balls and dumplings for you."
Gu Haoxing didn't like sweets, and he wasn't interested in dumplings, so he frowned and said, "Why are you making this stuff properly?"
Tao An blinked and said blankly, "Today is the winter solstice."
It was only then that Gu Haoxing remembered that today is the winter solstice, and when Tang Li came to the company to accompany him at night, he forgot everything.
Gu Haoxing saw Tao An's pregnant belly that couldn't be concealed under his coat, and felt displeased: "You won't call me if you want to deliver something? What if you run out with a big belly and have an accident?"
Tao An explained in a low voice: "I called you...you didn't answer..."
Gu Haoxing picked up the mobile phone on the table and took a look. Sure enough, there were several missed calls and text messages from Tao An.
Just now he was busy talking with Tang Li, so he didn't have time to look at his phone, even if he saw Tao An's call, he wouldn't answer it.
Gu Haoxing said without changing his face: "Oh, I was talking about business just now, I didn't see it."
Tao An nodded absent-mindedly, still having doubts in his heart.
Listening to their laughter just now, it didn't seem like they were talking about business.
After what happened last time, Tao An always had doubts in his heart. Although Hao Xing said that they were just clients, Tao An always felt that the two of them did not seem like a cooperative relationship.
Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Gu Haoxing guessed that Tang Li would reveal his secrets if he stayed any longer, so he issued an order to evict the guests: "Let's talk about it next time."
Seeing Gu Haoxing winking at him, Tang Li felt very unwilling, but he was very sensible and didn't expose Gu Haoxing's lie at this juncture, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Gu Haoxing felt a little sorry, and said, "I'll see you off."
He left Tao An in the office, got up and sent Tang Li downstairs.
As soon as he entered the elevator, Tang Li couldn't help but threw himself into Gu Haoxing's arms.
Gu Haoxing rubbed his head, and said softly, "What's wrong?"
Tang Li buried his face on his chest, and there was a bit of grievance in his muffled voice, "When will we be able to be together dignifiedly?"
Gu Haoxing sighed, "Wait patiently for another three months, and when the child is born, I promise to divorce him immediately."
Tang Li raised his head from his arms, his eyes were red and looked pitiful and helpless, "I feel like a mistress who destroys other people's families. Every time I'm with you, I sneak around."
"How come, I fell in love with you first, you are not wrong." Gu Haoxing has always been patient with Tang Li, and naturally he was willing to spend a little more time explaining to him: "I don't tell him, I just don't want him to be stimulated and go crazy. What's the matter, I have to continue to take care of him, so I won't be able to be with you sooner."
Gu Haoxing coaxed Tao An for a long time, repeatedly promising that Tao An would kick him out after giving birth, and Tang Li smiled again.
Gu Haoxing sent him to the taxi, and after watching Tang Li leave, he turned back to the company.
When Gu Haoxing returned to the office, Tao An was sitting on the sofa with an insulated box in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.
"Didn't I tell you before to tell you not to go out with a big belly, did you ignore my words?"
Suddenly, a gloomy sentence came out from behind, startling Tao An.
Tao An became a little flustered, "I originally wanted to put it on the front...but I was worried that it wouldn't taste good if it got cold..."
Gu Haoxing suddenly realized something was wrong, frowned and said, "How did you get here?"
He had already told the front desk not to let anyone in casually, especially if Tao An came to the company, he must be notified in advance.
Tao An explained in a low voice: "There is no one at the front desk, so I came up."
Gu Haoxing suddenly became angry. He called the front desk, called the little girl up, and scolded her head and face, "What do you do, no one even knows when you come in?"
The little girl at the front desk apologized aggrievedly, "Mr. Gu, I just had a stomachache, so I just left the post for a while. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Gu Haoxing said coldly, "Don't do it next time."
The little girl at the front desk repeatedly bowed and apologized, and before leaving the office, she gave Tao An a resentful look.
Gu Haoxing was so angry that Tao An didn't dare to approach, so he could only stand quietly by holding the heat preservation box.
Gu Haoxing always likes to divert his anger, and this moment is no exception, "You won't wait downstairs? You don't even know how to be polite?"
Tao An clenched his fingertips, not quite understanding why Gu Haoxing lost his temper so much. When they first dated, he didn't need to be notified when he joined the company.
Tao An said weakly, "I just want you to eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls earlier."
Gu Haoxing sat back on the sofa, "I can't buy this thing outside? Do you want to send it here?"
Different.......
Tao An said something like a mosquito.
Gu Haoxing continued: "And I asked you to call Xiao Jiang if you have anything, why didn't you contact him?"
Tao An's eyes were a little empty, "Assistant Jiang is busy, so I sent it here."
Gu Haoxing didn't think too much about it. After all, Xiao Jiang helped him buy dinner. It's normal if he doesn't have time. He's not Tao An's assistant, so how could he help him with errands all day long.
Tao An's eyes wandered on the ground for a moment, and he couldn't help asking: "Hao Xing, what were you doing just now?"
Gu Haoxing leaned back on the sofa with a leisurely posture, "What else can I do, talk about business, if you didn't come to disturb me, I guess this business will be done."
Tao An thought of the clothes Tang Li was wearing just now, how could he be dressed so casually when discussing business in the office?
Tao An knew that he shouldn't think wildly, but when he saw that person, he couldn't help guessing the relationship between them.
Even Tao An hated himself for being like this.
Seeing that he hung his head and said nothing, Gu Haoxing was not interested. He was still angry about what happened in the hospital that day, and said casually, "Forget it, I don't have an appetite. Take your things back. I'm going to continue working."
Tao An raised his head, feeling a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "I've been making it for a long time...you can eat a little."
His father said that only by eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice can one be blessed.
"I asked Xiao Jiang to buy dinner for me." Gu Haoxing got up while talking, and turned to go to the desk, "Don't waste time making these things in the future. If you have this time, it's better to deal with your relationship with those wild men outside."
Tao An followed up and tugged on Gu Haoxing's sleeve lightly. Gu Haoxing had always been impatient, and when he subconsciously shook his hand, he suddenly felt that he had hit something heavy, and at the same time there was a muffled "clang" sound when the heavy object fell to the ground.
When he turned around, he saw the insulated box in Tao An's hand fell to the ground, and the glutinous rice balls and dumplings rolled to the ground.
There were faint voices in the office, because the sound insulation was very good, he couldn't hear what was said inside, but he was very happy to hear Gu Haoxing's voice.
Tao An's heart tightened, and he suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
