Three years, eight months, and twenty-one days. The day that she and he would meet again.
Without warning, without warning, without preparation?? And so they met.
At that moment, in her eyes, it was as if the whole world had frozen in place. The cars that was driving stopped, the pedestrians stopped, and everything that had nothing to do with Jiang Jun and her were frozen in place. Only she and Jiang Jun were still moving.
Her body was to one side, her right cheek to the other. His eyes were on it, and her peripheral vision met his, but all she could see was the faint outline of his face.
However, just by looking at this blurry outline, her chest was already surging with acid like the tides.
She knew??
Some people, even after so many years, would never forget.
She knew it when she left him.
Slowly, she turned around, her eyes meeting his with an emotion she did not know herself.
His eyes were still as deep as she remembered them, they would never allow anyone to look into his heart through them. His eyes were sharp, but they were gentle and gentle towards her alone. That faint gaze was as clear as the spring water, quietly flowing into the depths of your eyes, your heart.
For a moment she remembered the first time she had seen him.
He was also looking at her with such a calm gaze, yet it was so unforgettable.
She didn't know how to define him.
Yes, sometimes he was like a good person and sometimes he was like a bad person. Even now, she still didn't know if he was a good person or a bad person. Thinking like that?
However, if she was given another chance, she knew very well that she would still make the same decision as she had three years ago.
An Yaru said that she was the most foolish woman in the world, and she agreed. However, there must be many women like her in the world, so she was definitely not the dumbest one.
But at least he was better off than before, and that was enough for her.
She gave him a slight nod, a greeting she had received by chance over the past three years. Then, a smile appeared on her clear face."Then I'll make a phone call!"
"Yes."
Jiang Jun responded to her almost inaudibly.
She immediately took out her phone from the Business Packs and pretended to be in a hurry to call her assistant You Li.
"You Li..."I'm sorry, but I have something to take care of right now. Please help me go to XX Court and bring me the minutes of the divorce case that we discussed today??"
She guessed that You Li, who had heard her call, must be completely dumbfounded at this moment. Because what You Li had said to her, her dazed mind, had already caused her ears to lose their original hearing.
However, she believed that You Li must have heard her lightly trembling voice at this moment.
Then, on the phone, she walked toward the car.
She pretended to be focused on explaining the situation to You Li, but only she knew the truth. She was avoiding her gaze. She was so afraid that he would see something in her eyes.
Fortunately, the heavens would always help her from time to time.
At this moment, his phone rang.
He took his cell phone out of his jacket pocket, looked at the windshield of the car with a serious expression, and answered the call.
Finally, she no longer had to face him directly, and no longer had to pretend to be speaking nonsense to You Li that she did not know about.
Ye Shuo opened the car door for her as she bent down and entered the carriage.
In this spacious and quiet MPV, his voice was as melodious as the sound of water dripping on stone. Of course, the pride and indifference of self-confidence combined to make his voice full of prestige, each word filled with power.
On the way, because he had been on the phone, they had not communicated.
As she looked at the window, she silently pondered. It seemed that he was still this busy these past few years, but shouldn't he give some of his time to the people around him?
This was a very upscale restaurant in London.
There were no other customers around. It was as if the large dining room was just for the two of them.
Not very bright romantic light, candles, roses, red wine, melodious violins...
Everything here made her feel familiar.
She suddenly recalled that she had eaten with him in such a restaurant before. Back then, she had teased him that she had already found a potential financial backer like him, causing him to laugh lightly.
Now that he thought about it, it was actually so sweet that it got greasy.
So she took a sip of red wine from her glass, as if that would dilute the memory in her head, but it was awkward, because the waiter was still pouring wine for him.
The waiter had probably never seen anyone who didn't understand the romantic atmosphere like her, so he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Jiang Jun's eyes were sharp and profound. She raised a finger and was about to ask the servant to leave.
Seeing that, Ye Shuo brought along a few bodyguards and retreated to a place that they could not see.
He crossed his arms on the dining table and looked at her with a warm and humble gaze. From the way you dress, you know you're a lawyer."
Gu Qingyou liked to have this kind of opening words, talking about ideals and avoiding wind and moon.
"Yeah, actually, I had the intention to be a lawyer when I was in school, but at that time, I didn't finish college, so my dream never came true??" But I was a dreamer, so when I was working in a real estate company, I took law courses and studied hard every night. When I got my diploma online, I applied for an internship at this Chinese law firm in London that I liked?? Maybe the other party saw that I was diligently submitting my resume and finally accepted me." She smiled and said.
Jiang Jun seemed to like hearing her talk about this. After she finished speaking for a while, he looked at her attire and slightly nodded her head."She seems to be a very successful lawyer."
In terms of success, she would probably be throwing a tantrum in front of him, wouldn't she?
Gu Qingyou did not say a word, and said in the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Jun was actually able to see through it. Before he picked up the bottle of red wine and sipped, she said softly, "Success doesn't matter how big or small it is. Moreover, if I were to become a lawyer, I might not be as good as you at doing it."
Gu Qingyou shot a glance at him. Did he insert a pair of eyes into her head?
At this moment, the waiter brought the delicate Western cuisine to the table.
Gu Qingyou thought that she could leave soon after finishing the meal. Thus, before the waiter even left, she had already picked up the tableware and cut the food on her plate.
Jiang Jun understood everything, so she only watched her eat quickly like the wind.
Gu Qingyou raised her clear pair of eyes, meeting his deep and unfathomable gaze."Uh, sorry, I still have to hurry back to the office after I finish eating, so??"
Jiang Jun nodded. Just follow your rhythm."
Gu Qingyou laughed in embarrassment and continued to cut the food on her plate. The atmosphere had turned cold just like that, Gu Qingyou randomly picked a topic that had nothing to do with Feng Yue, "I saw the news, the reports said that you are pla ing to acquire Ming Ren Mining Company. This is yet another big issue for Jiang??s Group."
Jiang Jun frowned as she replied to her seriously, "A high risk investment."
"High risk?"
Gu Qingyou lifted her eyes again, and realised that he had not stopped staring at her, but her black pupils were calm like a calm ocean. She looked at him doubtfully, "But will you do business with risks? You should be able to win for sure! "
Hearing her praise, Jiang Jun seemed to be in high spirits. She leaned back in her chair and smirked, "I've always heard you give me a negative evaluation before, but now I've finally heard a good one."
Gu Qingyou was instantly stu ed when she tried to chew food. In fact, it was just a casual sentence, but she didn't think that it would actually bring back the past. Did I have a bad opinion of you? "Why do I remember that I always seem to remember saying you were very good??"
Jiang Jun stared at her as her deep black eyes gradually retracted.
Her tone was light, as if she had already forgotten the past, and every word was filled with the relief of the passing times. Then, he saw her calmly and clearly continue, "Oh right, the 7-star hotel project in N Sea is now rumored to have directly developed N Sea City into the number one tourist city in China. Back then, you often travelled there to take care of projects, but actually, I've always been curious about what it looks like now?? "Of course, the news often shows the scenery of that hotel, but I always wanted to go there and have a look. Can you say hello to the people at the hotel and let me go there so I can eat and drink for free?"
Actually, the reason why Gu Qingyou suddenly brought up this project to Jiang Jun was to pave the way for him to return to her hometown.
At that time, if Jiang Jun found out that she went back to visit his mother, she would only think that she was travelling to see Mrs Jiang.
"Go whenever you want. That place is always ready for you to play with." Jiang Jun replied with a voice that was as warm as the gentle breeze of the ocean.
"Gu Qingyou stopped eating and raised his cup to Jiang Jun gratefully."Then I'll accept it with my thick skin, thanks for taking care of it."
Jiang Jun raised her cup to her, and her lips curved into a faint smile.
After the two of them drank a mouthful of red wine, Gu Qingyou lifted her hand, looked at the time, and frowned, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I have to leave now?? Tomorrow's case is very important to me. If I don't go to the company to file, I'm afraid?? "
Gu Qingyou had not even finished speaking when her voice that was as calm as a cool breeze came over, "It's alright, I'll get Ye Shuo to send you over."
Gu Qingyou originally wanted to reject him, but after thinking about how anxious she was, if she had a car but didn't take it, that would be completely illogical. She nodded, "Then thank you."
"Jiang Jun moved her hands, and Ye Shuo walked out from the darkness. Boss Jiang."
"Send Miss Gu back to the law firm!"
"Alright."
"Sorry for the trouble." Gu Qingyou said politely to Ye Shuo before she picked up the Business Packs and stood up.
Without even turning his head to look at the people she had not seen for the past three years, Gu Qingyou directly left the dining hall without even turning his head back.
