Chapter 427 - 405: Talking about Work Not Love
The next day, Gu Qimiao delivered the child to Shen Yanchen as agreed, "Take good care of the child, I’m going to work."Shen Yanchen had a dark expression but didn’t say anything before she dashed out excitedly. However, he managed to catch a glimpse of her makeup.
Going to see a pretty boy, why dress up so beautifully? She never puts on makeup when going out with him!
Shen Yanchen inexplicably filled with anger, picked up the child, and headed toward He Ye’s office, "You chair the upcoming meeting, I have something to do and need to leave."
He Ye was completely bewildered but before he could react, Shen Yanchen was already carrying the child into the elevator. As the elevator descended halfway, Shen Yanchen feared he might lose track of her, so he got off at the floor and took the general elevator down. The employees inside all looked at him with puzzled expressions, even their greetings were particularly cautious.
When he got downstairs, Gu Qimiao was standing by the roadside hailing a cab. His car had just reached the intersection when she got into a taxi. Shen Yanchen followed closely, while the child lay asleep in the little cradle on the backseat.
The car followed her to a Western restaurant, one known for being a couple’s restaurant, as the ambiance inside was quite evident through the glass exterior.
Shen Yanchen’s expression darkened further as he got out, carrying the sleeping child, and strode behind Gu Qimiao into the restaurant.
She walked hurriedly in high heels, her short skirt just barely covering her thighs.
Running off in such a hurry, afraid of being scolded by him, is that it? Dressed like that to meet a pretty boy, trying to provoke him on purpose?
When Gu Qimiao arrived, the other person was already seated at the reserved spot, "Sorry, I was held up a bit."
The man smiled politely, "No problem, the timing is just right, I arrived early."
Gu Qimiao smiled, "Let’s order first, Mr. Li, what would you like to eat?"
The man turned to the waiter and said, "The usual."
"Do you come here often?"
The man smiled, "Yes, I used to go to school nearby, by your gallery, and my ex and I frequently ate here."
Gu Qimiao smiled but didn’t ask more nor did she notice the footsteps approaching her from behind.
"I’ve met Miss Gu several times, you don’t seem very old, do you?"
As Gu Qimiao was about to answer, a man’s voice came from behind, "Not very old, but already a mother."
Upon hearing that voice, Gu Qimiao quickly turned her head and glared at Shen Yanchen, "What are you doing here?"
Before Shen Yanchen could answer, Mr. Li asked, "And this is?"
Gu Qimiao could only answer stiffly, "My husband."
"...Miss Gu is already married?"
Shen Yanchen sat down next to Gu Qimiao, crowding with her on the same couch, and stared at the man opposite, "What did you think?"
Mr. Li smiled awkwardly, "Miss Gu looks so young, I thought she was still a student."
Gu Qimiao smiled dryly and then whispered to Shen Yanchen, "Hurry up and go do your work!"
"I’m already off work."
"Then take the child and go home! I’m here for work!"
Shen Yanchen loudly replied, "It’s work, not a romantic date. There’s nothing to hide."
Gu Qimiao was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to throw him out onto the street, but she lacked the strength to do so.
