In the afternoon, Zuo Weiyi could not concentrate on her work and was not in the mood for working.
She only recovered from her thoughts after the manager shouted at her several times.
When it was time to get off work, she seemed to be immersed in her thoughts even after all the people in the office were gone.
Gu Yansheng came down from the top floor and walked to the entrance of the Planning Department. He saw her sitting at the desk and staring at nothing.
She was absent-minded since she met Shi Yuting in the afternoon.
He also understood why Shi Yuting had forgotten about her.
Or was it all just an excuse for Shi Yuting to get rid of her?
Gu Yansheng raised his hand and knocked on the glass door.
Zuo Weiyi slowly raised her head when she heard the noise. She then saw Gu Yansheng standing at the door.
Gu Yansheng smiled a little when he met with her black eyes. “It’s time to get off work.”
Zuo Weiyi recovered from her thoughts and realized that the people in the office had all gone home.
The night fell relatively fast during the autumn season. At six o’clock, the sky had already darkened and the entire City Z was full of lights.
Zuo Weiyi turned her head and looked at the night view of City Z through the window while sitting on the passenger seat. She felt empty inside.
Gu Yansheng who was driving turned his head from time to time and stared at her beautiful side profile. He wanted to say something to break this silent atmosphere.
“I am going to Country C tomorrow. Do you want to go and relax with me?”
Zuo Weiyi turned back after hearing his deep and sexy voice. She then moved her eyes from the window and frowned.
She looked at Gu Yansheng. “Country C?”
Gu Yansheng nodded and smiled. “Well, I emigrated to Country C when I was a kid.”
Zuo Weiyi lowered her eyes.
Shi Yuting’s home was also in Country C. It turned out they both lived in the same country.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Yansheng. She then forced a smile. “No. I’m not a big boss. I don’t have so much time to relax.”
“It doesn’t matter. I can give you a special leave!”
Zuo Weiyi knew that he was trying to ease the atmosphere.
Then she asked, “How can I do that? I don’t want to be the public enemy of the whole company.”
If she—a newcomer got special treatment, the whole company would feel that it was unfair and would be on bad terms with her.
“Are you really not going?” He glanced at her delicate face. Gu Yansheng felt reluctant to part with her.
If it were not for his mother’s birthday party tomorrow and the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would not want to leave her at this time.
Zuo Weiyi shook her head. “No. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I would like to visit my mother.”
She had not been visiting her mother for a long time. How could she leave when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow?
Tomorrow was indeed a special day. Gu Yansheng did not force her since she refused to go with him.
“Well, since that’s the case, shall we eat out tonight and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance?”
He turned and smiled at Zuo Weiyi.
Zuo Weiyi paused.
Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance? Only the two of them?
What kind of reunion was this?
“Whatever. I’m fine with it.”
Although she did not sound like she wanted to go, she still did not reject him in the end. Gu Yansheng was also relieved.
The next day—the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gu Yansheng went to Country C.
Zuo Weiyi left Gu Mansion and walked out of the luxurious housing community. She then took a bus and went to a flower shop. She bought a bouquet of carnations for her mother—Zuo Qing.
Carnations were the flowers of maternal love. It was also her mother’s favorite flowers when she was still alive.
