I didnât really hold much hope, especially because I had angered him.
Given his temperament, he would have surely tipped that cup of coffee over.
But, he didnât.
He took the coffee with both hands, then looked deep into my eyes.
Then he drained the coffee all at once.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I figured he must have been angry earlier, causing his liver to overheat, leaving him with a dry mouth and tongue, thatâs why he drained the cup.
He asked, âDo you have anything else to say?â
I glanced at the empty coffee cup, and replied indifferently,
âTake care, President Gu!â
After saying that, I picked up my phone from the table and without looking back, I left Gu Yuanzhouâs office.
When I reached the parking lot, I found that Ding Yinuo had already arrived.
His car lights were still on. He was pacing back and forth anxiously like ants on a hot pan, and simultaneously making a phone call on his mobile.
âDing Yinuo, why are you here?â
He looked up at me and once he recognized me, he immediately rushed over and held me tightly in his arms.
âWhy didnât you answer my calls, what happened? Why did you stay silent when I called?â
âIt was Gu Yuanzhou who rang. He knows about us! Uh, letâs go! Iâve been fired!â
I just briefly explained, and without a word, Ding Yinuo pulled me straight into the car.
âGet in!â
Then the car sped off onto the road like a flying arrow.
The entire way, neither Ding Yinuo nor I spoke a word.
The car raced like an unbridled horse.
We felt like survivors who had escaped from prison.
Or maybe we were a couple trying to elope without letting our parents know.
Only at the gate of Xishan Residence did he finally brake hard.
Before I could say anything, he hurriedly pulled me by the hand into the house.
âLook, such a big house, and it is missing a mistress. You can move in anytime!â
I just looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
âWhatâs wrong?â
He noticed my discomfort.
âI might not be able to become the lady of Xishan Residence anymore! I may be going to jail next!â
At this moment, I was surprisingly calm.
Images already forming in my mind, after I left, Gu Yuanzhou would suddenly be poisoned on the spot, coughing up blood and dying.
And on that coffee cup, my fingerprints remained âŠ
Moreover, Gu Yuanzhou had fired me today, the HR manager could testify to this.
If they call the police, the police would suspect me first. They could infer that I must have poisoned Gu Yuanzhou out of resentment for being fired.
With both motive and evidence, all thatâs left is to catch me.
Even if by some odd chance I werenât sentenced to death, I would surely get life in prison.
So, I guess I donât have the good fortune to become the lady of Xishan Residence.
âGoing to jail for what? You still have me, what are you afraid of?â
In response to Ding Yinuoâs question, I was overwhelmed with thoughts. As I was conflicted about whether or not to tell him, suddenly we heard the doorbell ring.
Ding Yinuo went to open the door.
Upon seeing Su Peisheng, he said on the spot,
âYou came at the wrong time. Iâm busy right now. Come back tomorrow.â
Just as Ding Yinuo was about to close the door, Su Peisheng pulled someone from behind him,
âYoung Master Ding, look at what treasure I brought you.â
A beautiful woman in a red dress.
âDing Yinuo! You live here now?â
It took me a few seconds to recognize that this woman was Jiang Jiaying.
She didnât wait for Ding Yinuoâs invitation and walked straight into the house.
âWow, this house is really big! I really like it! Alright, Iâm going to live here from now on.â
Jiang Jiaying was still holding a suitcase and just directly entered the house.
Ding Yinuo and Su Peisheng were behind her, and he quietly grumbled,
âAre you seriously ill? Why did you bring her here?â
âIsnât she your ex-girlfriend? She said that she was too young back then and didnât treasure you properly. Now that sheâs grown up and matured, her heart has settled down and she wants to be with you.â
âAre you blind? You think sheâs suitable for me?â
Ding Yinuo asked a string of questions, and Su Peisheng could not answer them for a while and could only slowly say,
âDonât forget that your brotherâs current company still needs her fatherâs support. Donât ruin your brotherâs good fortune. If you really donât like her then just be friends!â
Ding Yinuo then turned to look at me.
âWhy are you looking at me?â
He stared at me for a long time, which made me a little nervous.
He gestured to Su Peisheng,
âYou go inside first and entertain her for a bit!â
Su Peisheng nodded understandably.
Only after watching Su Peisheng enter the room, did Ding Yinuo turn to look at me again,
âWhat do you think?â freewŃbnà«ŠÎœeÉ.com
âThink about what?â
âDo you think we can keep Jiang Jiaying here?â
I didnât expect Ding Yinuo to throw the problem at me.
Considering the unpleasant experiences I had with Jiang Jiaying during my school days, I naturally did not like her.
However, no matter how much I dislike Jiang Jiaying, I canât let personal feelings interfere in someone elseâs emotional entanglement.
âDing Yinuo, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me! If you like having her here then keep her, if not then donât!â
Ding Yinuo squinted his eyes and asked me again,
âYou donât care at all?â
âYouâre not my boyfriend, why should I care?â
My words seemed to have annoyed Ding Yinuo. He pointed at the tip of my nose and shook it, then finally gave up in resignation.
âFine, you⊠nevermind, letâs go in!â
Although Ding Yinuo was a little disappointed, he still grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.
In the living room, Su Peisheng was sitting on the sofa. He had already opened a bottle of red wine and was entertaining Jiang Jiaying.
Jiang Jiaying had a white stuffed cat in her arms, sharing some funny stories she encountered on her way back home.
âOh, I really didnât expect it, the changes in our country these years are so fast!â
She was originally talking to Su Peisheng, but when she saw Ding Yinuo coming in, she immediately switched her target to him,
âYinuo! The decoration style of your villa is very much to my liking! I love it⊠It seems that after so many years, our aesthetics are still consistent.â
âThe interior was designed by a designer, Iâm just casual!â
âBy the way, your brother is really nice! He picked me up from the airport when I just arrived, and even took me out for a meal!â
âReally? Didnât he arrange a hotel for you?â
âHe said itâs not safe for a single girl to stay in a hotel, your place is clean and comfy, very suitable for me!â
Ding Yinuo took a drag from his cigarette and asked her, âSo how long are you planning to stay here?â
Jiang Jiaying smiled and said, âI came back to A City as part of a talent introduction plan, I might become a vice president in your hospital!â
Ding Yinuo immediately straightened his back, looking at her in disbelief, âYou?â
âWhat, are you looking down on me? Ding Yinuo, I have a PhD in medicine now! My educational background is higher than yours! Technically, Iâm not inferior to you!â
âOh, pleased to meet you!â
Ding Yinuo then extended one hand, pulling me into his arms,
âAs an old classmate, Iâm very willing to provide you with a place to stay. However, my girlfriend also lives here, she has quite a high demand, so, we often do some naughty things in the living room, if you donât mind, you can stay.â
