49: Chapter 50 Playing for Real (3)
“It doesn’t matter.” Qiao Liang took a step forward, standing in front of Gan Yuan, “I heard you took the day off, why not…
find a place to sit and chat?”
“I’m not like you bachelors.” Gan Yuan was still smiling, “Xiaotang has a lot of clothes waiting for me to wash!”
He crossed his arms, “Speaking of which, I think I’ve never been to your place, aren’t you going to show me where you live?”
“The landlord has already notified me to move out, so recognizing it would be pointless, maybe next time.”
It seemed like a joke, but she was parrying his moves, allowing Qiao Liang to save face while not giving him any chance to get closer.
“When are you moving?
I’ll come and be your free labor and take the chance to see your place.”
“I’ll see how it goes.
If there are any heavy items I can’t move, I’ll definitely call you.” Gan Yuan grabbed the keys from the table, “Then, shall I go now?”
He had come out ahead of her and, like a gentleman, he helped her open the door.
Gan Yuan raised her brows lightly, “Don’t you have to work?”
Qiao Liang leaned against the door frame and shrugged, “I resigned.”
There wasn’t much surprise on Gan Yuan’s face; how could someone like him possibly stay here?
Watching her leave the office, Qiao Liang closed the door for her and quickly took two steps to catch up with her.
“Aren’t you curious about the reason?”
Gan Yuan pressed the elevator button to go down, “You never belonged here in the first place.”
The man smiled playfully, “How so?”
“Just a feeling.” Gan Yuan stepped into the parting elevator doors, “Let’s have a meal together when you have time, as a way to celebrate your new start.”
This time, she was planning to take Gan Tang and leave this place; it seemed unlikely that she would have another chance to meet him.
In the past six months, Qiao Liang had done a lot for her and her son.
It was only right to repay the favor.
Qiao Liang’s smile brightened, “I’m always available.
But don’t worry, even if I’m not working here anymore, we’re still friends, right?”
After all these years, Qiao Liang was probably the only person she had grown somewhat close to.
So, she nodded lightly.
As she spoke, the elevator reached the ground floor and the doors opened.
Qiao Liang, the gentleman, held the elevator open, and when he looked up, he saw a tall woman standing outside.
Their eyes met, and the girl’s eyes immediately lit up, while Qiao Liang frowned in confusion.
Chu Xinqing, what was she doing here?
At that moment, Chu Xinqing, standing outside the elevator, had also noticed Gan Yuan beside him, a flash of odd color passing through her eyes before she put on a smile again.
“Aliang!” She called out Qiao Liang’s name affectionately, quickly approaching and hugging his shoulder, “You’re naughty, telling me on the phone that you were busy.
Was this supposed to be a surprise for me?”
Coming to B City this time was to take him back, and Chu Xinqing certainly wasn’t going to let it go.
Seeing him with Gan Yuan, no matter how many grievances she harbored in her heart, Chu Xinqing wouldn’t reveal any flaws in front of Gan Yuan.
“You guys talk, I’m going to go ahead.”
Gan Yuan waved to Qiao Liang and then walked away.
Who the woman before her was and what her relationship with Qiao Liang was…
all of that had nothing to do with her.
What she needed to focus on now was the upcoming paternity test.
Qiao Liang raised his hand and pulled away Chu Xinqing’s arm that was wrapped around him.
“Littleyuan, wait a minute.”
It was hard enough for Gan Yuan to invite him for a meal, and Qiao Liang didn’t want to lose this chance.
He also wanted to explain things about Chu Xinqing to avoid any misunderstanding.
