To You, My Beloved

The sun was setting, the sky was getting dark, the neon lights were gradually turning on, and Tang Shi's cell phone rang.

It was Lin Jingchen who called, saying that he had arranged to entertain French clients at the Beijing Hotel and asked when he would be there.

Tang Shi glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was still sitting blankly in the coffee shop, swallowed hard, and said in a stiff tone: You guys go over first, I will contact you later.

After saying that, before Lin Jingchen could react, he cut off the call.

After who knows how long, Gu Qingcheng in the room finally had some reaction. She slowly sat up straight, raised her hand, summoned the waiter, then took the menu from the waiter's hand and stared at it for a while. , said a few words in a low voice to the waiter, and then the waiter left with a smile.

Not ten minutes later, the waiter brought a piece of fried rice and placed it in front of Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng lowered her head and ate gracefully, as if she had a good appetite. She ate nearly one-half of a large plate of fried rice before she stopped. Then she gently took out a paper towel and wiped it. At the corner of his lips, he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water. Then he turned around, took out his cell phone from his bag, and made a call.

She only said a few words, then hung up the phone, and then stared at the screen of her phone for a long time. Finally, she pursed her lips vigorously, as if she had made up her mind, and clicked on the screen of her phone again. Less than a minute later, the mobile phone next to him rang.

Tang Shi turned his head and saw two words flashing brightly and dimly on the caller ID: Qingqing.

Gu Qingcheng struggled for a long time before making this call to Tang Shi.

Last night, at April's house, the dream she had was still vivid in her mind. The pain of the slap her mother gave her had disappeared, but she could still feel the pain faintly.

She sat alone in the coffee shop and thought about it for a long time before finally making this decision.

However, making a decision does not mean that she has the courage to implement it immediately. In order to delay herself, she asked the waiter for a menu. There were not many staple foods in the cafe. Because she was pregnant, she looked around and saw only a few. I can only order one egg fried rice.

Thinking of that decision, she felt so uneasy that she couldn't eat, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she still forced herself to eat more than half of it.

After eating, she hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up her mobile phone. The first call was to the Gu family, asking the servant to bring her a heavy coat, and then she finally couldn't find it at all. When he saw any reason to delay the time, he made a cruel call to Tang Shi.

The phone rang seven times before it was answered, but there was no sound coming from inside. Gu Qingcheng waited for a while and then asked, Tang Shi, are you there?

There continued to be a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then she heard the man's usually calm voice: Here, are you okay?

Yes. Gu Qingcheng responded softly, then took a deep breath and continued to ask: Are you free tonight?

Tang Shi was a little confused as to why Gu Qingcheng called him. He changed his mind slightly and said, We have a dinner party tonight.
