Still so cute today

A knock on the door interrupted Qi Lian's thoughts.

"Enter."

Zou Tao held a document and said in a very serious tone, "Boss, the previous payment was locked up."

Qi Lian reached out to take the document, and frowned slightly after seeing the specific content. Although his expression was still calm, he could still see the unrest in his eyes when he looked carefully.

"This must be man-made, go and find out the reason."

Zou Tao nodded and turned to leave.

Before he went out, Qi Lian stopped him: "It's my personal decision to help the Qi family, will you..."

Zou Tao turned his head and interrupted Qi Lian with a smile: "Why? We all know how much Qi Man helped us in the early days of the company. Now that Qi's is in trouble, we should help."

Qi Lian was stunned for a moment, the boredom in his heart was swept away, and he said sincerely: "Thank you."

"Brothers, why don't you thank me?" After thinking for a while, he said with a smirk, "I really want to thank you, just give me a raise."

"Okay, the salary has been raised, so there will be no bonus this month."

"Qilian, you can't be like this."

……

in school.

The four classes this afternoon are all art classes. Gu Meng has been learning painting since she was a child. She has long been familiar with the methods and skills taught by the teacher, and began to distract herself in an open and honest manner.

Gu Meng was vaguely aware of Qi Lian's abnormality in the past two days, but he didn't dare to think too much about it.Firstly, he was used to the way the two of them used to get along with each other before, and the relationship was quite good now; secondly, if it turned out that he was overthinking, it would only increase the embarrassment.

Simply put, he is an ostrich, afraid of changing the status quo, afraid of losing again.

Gu Meng told herself rationally in her heart, don't think too much.

But his behavior revealed his true thoughts, and the lines in his pen flowed smoothly, outlining a familiar character.

The classmate next to him poked his head over: "Gu Meng, who are you drawing?"

The sudden voice from the side surprised Gu Meng, and his thoughts finally came back to reality. Looking at what he had drawn, his expression was a little complicated: "An elder."

The classmate next to him glanced twice, saw that the person in the picture had a calm demeanor, a warm face, and the love in his eyes was about to overflow, and then looked at his own drawing, and couldn't help sighing: "You draw really well. "

After a pause, he said, "That person must be very kind to you."

Gu Meng was slightly taken aback: "How do you know?"

"It can be seen from your painting," the man said naturally while he was busy with his own painting, "You painted him so well, so gentle, I think so too."

Hearing this, Gu Meng couldn't tell what it was like, it was sour and sweet, and her whole chest seemed to be swollen: "Yes, he is very kind to me."

Qi Lian treated him really well, from childhood to adulthood, little by little, even when he first came to S city, no matter how hard it was, he never treated him badly, he could do without anyone in his life, but he couldn't live without Qi Lian.Maybe Qi Lian himself doesn't know how important his position is in Gu Meng's heart, so important that if Qi Lian insists on changing their relationship, Gu Meng can only accept it in order to be able to continue being with him.

No matter how this matter develops, the final outcome is not something he can decide by himself. Thinking of this, Gu Meng is relieved instead, let it take its course.

Seeing that Gu Meng had lost his mind again, the classmate next to him couldn't help but sympathize with him when he remembered some rumors on the Internet recently, and pushed him: "Don't think too much about the messages on the Internet, we all know that you and Han Jing is a good friend."

Seeing the sympathetic gaze of her classmate, Gu Meng was a little puzzled. It was all going on, but thinking about the Internet, Gu Meng secretly covered her face in her heart. It seemed that he hadn't explained it clearly to his uncle yet.

Seeing that he hadn't repainted yet, the person next to him couldn't help reminding: "Today's homework is to draw a still life, not a figure. It will be handed in after class. Would you like to draw one first?" He glanced at his painting meaningfully.

Gu Meng knew that her classmates didn't mean to tease him, but she still blushed a little, and hurriedly took down the painting. She wanted to crumple it into a ball and throw it away, but she was a little reluctant when she got it. She looked at the painting and smiled slightly. Gu Meng unknowingly evoked a smile, carefully finished the scroll and put it in the bag.

Then I quickly drew a still life, and finally handed in my homework before get out of class was over.

Back home, Gu Meng, who was packing up her things, accidentally saw the painting next to her. She opened it carefully and laid it flat on the table. Without knowing why, she picked up a pen and drew another small person on it, adding With some background, it looks like two people snuggled up on the sofa, looking extraordinarily warm.Gu Meng's heart softened, and she carefully pressed this painting into the drawing book, and then started to finish today's homework.

At the same time, Qi Lian received a special call.

"Hey?"

"Is it Xiaolian? I'm Qi Man." The voice was as cold as before, but the lingering sound was a little hoarse.

Qi Lian lowered his eyes: "What's the matter?"

"This time... I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you, it's just that the investment department of my company has taken a wrong look."

Qi Man also knew that Qi Lian would not admit to helping her, so she smiled wryly: "I will give you an explanation."

Qi Lian fell silent, and Qi Man didn't know what to say.

So the short conversation ended here.

He has seen what Qi Man has done these years, Qi Lian is grateful to her and is willing to help her when she is in trouble, but he does not know how to deal with the Qi family. , it is almost possible to speculate the reason why Mr. Qi adopted him, but he doesn't want to delve into it any further, he just wants to live his own life with Mengmeng.

However, the amount of money to support the Qi family is huge. If it doesn't come out, even Yimeng will definitely be hurt. Qi Man should be able to handle this matter well, but if someone makes trouble deliberately Said otherwise.

Thinking about it, Qi Lian walked outside, suddenly his stomach convulsed, Qi Lian staggered, almost fell to the ground, just happened to Zou Tao walked in, and rushed to support him.

He asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Qi Lian shook his head: "It's nothing, just a sudden stomachache. It's an old problem. It hasn't happened much recently. I don't know why it happened today."

"It's better to see a doctor." Zou Tao was a little worried, but he didn't take it too seriously.

When the company was first established in the early years, several people were busy with socializing, and almost all of them suffered from large and small stomach problems, but these years have improved a lot.

"Wait when you have time." Qi Lian didn't pay much attention to this matter, frowned and said to Zou Tao, "It may be difficult to recover the money from Qi's family, find a reliable person to look after this matter. "

Hearing Qi Lian talk about serious matters, Zou Tao couldn't help becoming serious: "I know."

"By the way, call Han Ye and Han Hui this weekend, let's have dinner together." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and smiled slightly.

Zou Tao looked at him in shock, this style of painting has changed too fast, and workaholics would even think of inviting people to dinner.

Seeing his surprised expression, Qi Lian gave a rare explanation: "Meet my Mengmeng."

Zou Tao also felt that his expression just now was too silly. He closed his mouth and muttered, "I said that, I thought I was going to meet your wife."

The office was very quiet, Qi Lian naturally smiled when he heard this sentence.

"But speaking of it, you are finally willing to let us meet your baby, can you hold it, can you pinch it?" In Zou Tao's impression, Gu Meng was still that soft and cute little dumpling.

Hearing this, Qi Lian's face darkened: "Impossible."

Zou Tao was startled by Qi Lian's serious tone: "..."

"If you don't make sense, I will take care of your behavior."

Seeing that Zou Tao didn't reply, Qi Lian looked at him expressionlessly.

Zou Tao couldn't bear his expression the most, and immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, on that day, brothers and sisters promise to be as pure as a little white rabbit."

Hearing this, Qi Lian nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand, and signaled him to go out.

Relieved, Zou Tao quickly left the office.

Sitting alone in the office, Qi Lian couldn't help thinking about his own child, where is he now, and what will he do?

In the morning, Uncle Han called him and told him that Gu Meng finally went to school. His tone was full of pride and blamed him a little. Qi Lian was a little helpless, smiled and shook his head. So obedient, he is like this, I really can't do anything.

There is a heavy sense of happiness in my heart, and today I told Zou Tao that I would meet Mengmeng, it was not his whim, but the result of his long-term thinking.He doesn't want his world to have no intersection with Gu Meng's world. He wants Gu Meng to understand his life, meet his friends, and accept his complete self. Treat him differently than in the past.

Bit by bit, they have to be separated from the relationship between the elders and the younger, and move towards the direction he wants. No one can live without the other. This is the future that Qi Lian is looking forward to. At that time, he will let Gu Meng do whatever he likes. He will also be with him, with him.

Qi Lian fantasizes about their future, but he doesn't know that one of his wishes has been fulfilled on the other hand. After all these years, Gu Meng is almost the only family member left, and he really cannot do without Qi Lian.
