Chapter 414: Chapter 416: The Billing Issue
After a while, a waiter came over with a white bag, smiling at her.
"Miss Gu, this is from Mr. Cheng, he thought you might need it."
Gu Tiantian was taken aback and was about to refuse.
But looking at her own clothes, she smiled bashfully and accepted the bag.
The clothes Cheng Junnan sent were also a T-shirt, still white, and loose-fitting, very comfortable, but not from those intimidating high-end brands.
After changing clothes, Gu Tiantian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming out of the restroom, Gu Tiantian quickly walked towards where Cheng Junnan was sitting.
Seeing her approach, Cheng Junnan’s gaze circled around her clothes, his smile very gentle.
"Rushed to buy it, but it looks pretty good."
Before Gu Tiantian could speak, Cheng Junnan laughed again and spoke.
"Don’t even mention wanting to pay me. The clothes are from that store over there, and Tian Tian, you know, I really don’t mind that bit of money."
The words on the tip of Gu Tiantian’s tongue were blocked by Cheng Junnan’s words.
She knew Cheng Junnan wasn’t lying; there indeed was a clothing store nearby, not expensive, not a big brand, but comfortable to wear.
Thinking about the money, Gu Tiantian suddenly remembered the hospital bill from before.
Before she could speak, Cheng Junnan smiled at her warmly.
"It’s getting late, let me take you back first."
Gu Tiantian was slightly stunned, the words she was about to say got swallowed back.
"Actually... if you’re willing to have dinner with me, I’d be happier!"
Gu Tiantian shook her head, she’d rather pass on that.
As for the money issue, she could talk about it on the ride back.
Cheng Junnan seemed to know Gu Tiantian wouldn’t agree to have dinner with him, so he didn’t mention it again and left the cafe with her.
"Do you want to go to the hospital to see your tutor?"
Cheng Junnan asked gently while driving.
Gu Tiantian, thinking about how to get Cheng Junnan to agree to let her repay the money, was slightly startled by his question.
Then, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
She actually forgot about Zhang Lan!
"Yes, of course, I need to go!"
After all, Zhang Lan got into trouble at the villa and was alone in the hospital, she had to go see her.
"Alright, I’ll take you there."
Gu Tiantian nodded and thanked him.
Hesitated for a moment, then spoke quickly.
"President Cheng, about the expenses from when my grandma was hospitalized."
Cheng Junnan glanced at Gu Tiantian, seeing her slightly anxious expression, his gentle face was indifferent.
"Tian Tian, that money was returned to my card from the hospital’s records, so you actually owe me nothing!"
"Really?"
Gu Tiantian felt a bit confused, did Cheng Junnan mean she doesn’t owe him money?
But last time at the hospital, she clearly saw the bill held by Secretary Jiang.
Cheng Junnan felt a bit complicated, because mentioning that incident reminded him that Gu Tiantian still had connections with Bai Chenyao.
And he, to Gu Tiantian, was essentially a nobody, who had no say in her social circles.
"I’m telling the truth, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Bai."
Gu Tiantian was stunned, her face instantly turning pale.
Bai Chenyao!
If anyone else mentioned Bai Chenyao, she wouldn’t think much of it, at most she’d feel a bit intimidated.
But when it came from Cheng Junnan, no matter how much Gu Tiantian tried to forget it, it still felt awkward, even slightly humiliating.
[This concludes the tenth Chapter, hope everyone enjoys the read. Additionally, I recommend my good friend Xu Qingyou’s romance novel "Medical Concubine Soaring: Dark Ghost King’s Fierce Pursuit". Eight Young Master can’t take it anymore, going to catch up on sleep, sneaking away...]
