C547 Don't Move
She shook her head and suppressed the frustration in her heart. Forget it. It was just a meal. What was there to be afraid of?
Outside the window, the weather was righteous, the sun shone on the earth, and the gentle breeze carried Chu Jiaxuan's office curtains.
At 12: 30, in a large restaurant.
Chu Jiaxuan appeared at the entrance of the restaurant at the right time. From afar, she saw a familiar figure. Her red lips parted slightly as she walked over. Her elegant and noble temperament attracted countless gazes.
"Director Pei." Chu Jiaxuan walked to Pei Nanjue's side and stopped. She spoke politely.
She looked coldly at Pei Nanjue, who had a cold expression on his face.
When he raised his eyes and saw Chu Jiaxuan, the man's thin lips twitched. There was a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes. "Sit."
Raising his body, he pulled open the chair for Chu Jiaxuan to sit on. Chu Jiaxuan did not stand on ceremony and nodded at Pei Nanjue before taking a seat generously.
She pushed the menu to Chu Jiaxuan and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Why is Director Pei in such a good mood today to treat me to dinner?" Chu Jiaxuan picked up the menu and looked at the dishes inside.
"What reason do I need to treat you to a meal?" Pei Nanjue asked with a smile in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very quiet. There was slow music playing.
People looked at Pei Nanjue and Chu Jiaxuan one after another. The two of them sat together, so dazzling that people could not move their eyes away. Male, handsome, and female were a match made in heaven.
The originally harmonious atmosphere between the two was interrupted by an untimely ringtone. Chu Jiaxuan looked at the caller ID and was surprised that it was Gong Junchi who opened it.
"I found the clue you gave me." Gong Junchi's gentle voice sounded, but there was a trace of fatigue in his tone.
"Is it her?"
"Yes, Jiaxuan. You did very well this time. You finally found the traitor. If this continues, our Gong's will fall." Gong Junchi's tone was filled with joy. He could finally let out a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you've confirmed it. I thought my clues were wrong."
"How could that be? I've always believed in your ability."
"I'm planning to return to the wedding dress shop to help. The Gong's is fine now. Manager Yang is here." Chu Jiaxuan had delayed the wedding dress shop for too long.
During this period of time, she had been working in Gong's and did not return to the wedding dress shop. She did not know how the business was. Although she knew Tang Tang would definitely handle the wedding dress shop, she was still one of the bosses. She still had to do what needed to be done.
"You don't intend to return to the Gong's?" Gong Junchi asked in surprise and frowned.
"I will go back and take a look when I have time. I want to spend more time in the wedding shop."
"Alright. You do need to take care of the wedding dress shop. Also..." Gong Junchi said. When he finished, he paused.
How should he tell Chu Jiaxuan about this? His grandma was sent overseas for treatment because of her heart condition. His grandmother had already returned to China. This time, she had returned to China. Although his grandmother had already agreed to his relationship with Chu Jiaxuan, he did not know if she would target Chu Jiaxuan. She had urged them to get married for a long time and the two of them refused to do so. Now his grandmother had some prejudice against Chu Jiaxuan.
When he returned this time, he was afraid that his grandmother would target Chu Jiaxuan.
Originally, his grandmother did not like her very much from the start. Later on, she finally had some good feelings and finally agreed. But now, because the two of them refused to agree to marriage, he began to have objections towards Chu Jiaxuan. He was worried that his grandmother would make things difficult for Chu Jiaxuan.
"Junchi, what's wrong? If you have something to say, just do it." Why didn't he say anything? What else? Did he have something he wanted to tell her?
"My grandma is back. She might look for you when the time comes." It was better to tell her so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Grandma is back?" Chu Jiaxuan asked in surprise. She did not know how to describe her current mood. Should she be happy or nervous? She had not seen Gong Junchi's grandma for a long time.
Thinking about how Gong Junchi's grandmother had asked them to get married as soon as possible, but they did not give her a reply, she was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
"Yes." Gong Junchi nodded.
Chu Jiaxuan suddenly felt a headache. She did not know how to face his grandmother.
She was really afraid that she would let her marry Gong Junchi.
"Okay, I know. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. I am having lunch."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Chu Jiaxuan looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly had no appetite.
Pei Nanjue looked at Chu Jiaxuan's frown after she hung up the phone. He raised his eyebrows slightly. "The food doesn't suit my appetite?"
Chu Jiaxuan shook her head and picked up her chopsticks.
"I'm going to fly to America tonight. I'm not here for the next few days. You have to take good care of yourself." Pei Nanjue looked at Chu Jiaxuan and spoke with deep affection.
"Oh, have a safe trip." It turned out that he had invited her to dinner because he wanted to go abroad.
He felt a little depressed in his heart. He could not explain why he suddenly felt this way. Maybe it was because Gong Junchi's grandmother was coming back.
Looking at Chu Jiaxuan who was cold and distant, Pei Nanjue was really defeated by her attitude.
No matter how hard he tried, she would always have this cold attitude towards him.
He felt that the distance between them was getting further and further. Sigh, he sighed in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that the food was extremely awful.
Chu Jiaxuan was clearly right in front of him. But he felt that the distance between them was like a mountain. No matter how hard he tried to reach her, he could not reach her.
After the meal, the two of them stood at the entrance of Grimm's restaurant.
Outside, the sun was high in the sky. The sunlight shone on the two of them, giving them a feeling of peace and quiet.
The man had a cold face, and the woman had a faint smile on her face.
Chu Jiaxuan turned around and faced Pei Nanjue. Before she could say anything, Pei Nanjue stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Jiaxuan into his arms. "Jiaxuan, take good care of yourself."
"Pei Nanjue, let go of me!" She did not expect Pei Nanjue to suddenly hug her. She was stunned for a moment and then pushed him.
"Don't move. Just hug me for a while." Pei Nanjue kept tightening his arms around her.
Once he went abroad, he would be away from her for a few days.
Chu Jiaxuan heard Pei Nanjue's disappointed tone and felt a pain in her heart. She forgot to struggle until Pei Nanjue finally let go and gave her a deep look. Without waiting for her to answer, she turned and left.
Every time, it was him who watched her leave. This time, he would let her see him.
Chu Jiaxuan stood where she was and looked at Pei Nanjue's tall and straight back that was getting further and further away. She did not know what to feel in her heart and did not know what the look in his eyes when he left meant.
She did not want to get to the bottom of it, nor did she want to pay attention to it. She turned around, got into the car, and left.
Night quietly fell, and the corner of her eyes had long since left the west.
On the plane, Pei Nanjue looked out of the window at the night sky. The clouds outside the window seemed to be within reach, just like Chu Jiaxuan. She had thought that she would be able to hold her hand when she stretched out her hand, but there was a river between them. No matter how much he stretched out his arm, he could not hold her in his arms.
