Chapter 2491 - 2492: I Guess I Was Overthinking It
Gu Mian almost blushed, but luckily she managed to hold it back. She had to put on a brave face and act as if nothing was happening, saying, "Just discussing something, you know. I read a book the other day, and there were some parts I didn’t get, so I wanted to ask him about them."
This explanation was perfectly acceptable, because Nangong Yue really was well-read, and consulting him on bookish matters made total sense.
"Oh." Qin Qian nodded, "Alright then, you guys go ahead."
Gu Mian immediately looked at Nangong Yue. He didn’t look embarrassed at all; he calmly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, nodded elegantly, and said to Gu Mian, "Let’s go then."
Gu Mian stepped forward, and the two really walked side by side to the parking lot to get the car.
As they left, Gu Mian’s heart was racing. Damn!
This was like playing a daring game in front of everyone!
Lying in front of so many people just to get a marriage certificate—if Qin Qian and the others found out, wouldn’t they go nuts? They’d probably be stunned by such news.
Actually, she also felt a bit shocked.
Watching them leave, Qin Qian blinked then immediately jumped to Li Hui’s side, poking her and asking, "Huihui, don’t you think my boss and your boss might have something going on?"
"Something going on?" Li Hui retorted.
Qin Qian threw a flirty look, wearing a "you know what I mean" expression.
Li Hui pouted, thought seriously for a moment, and replied, "I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s possible. I tell you, I’ve set up so many girls with my boss, and every single one was ruthlessly sent away by him without fail! You know how many girls came crying to me afterwards, and I had to buy them a piece of clothing or two just to calm them down? It really pisses me off!
But isn’t your boss and my boss always just classmates and good friends? It’s been so many years, and they haven’t shown any signs of romantic spark. They didn’t even show anything while in B Country!"
After hearing Li Hui, Qin Qian agreed and nodded, "Then I must be overthinking it."
Though they had a great relationship, it was only as friends. Nothing else had happened in all these years, so she probably was overthinking it.
"Alright, let’s all head back now." Qin Qian said, "Everyone’s already been to it, let’s go rest and talk another time."
Everyone nodded in agreement and headed in threes and fours to the parking lot to find their cars.
Gu Ruhai suddenly pulled aside Qin Qian and asked seriously, "Has our boss been reading lately?"
She had a blast in B Country, not once having seen her buried in a book.
Playing mahjong, sure enough!
"Yeah." Qin Qian scratched her head, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she reads at night."
That could be true; they wouldn’t know if she read at night.
"Just ask Gu Yao and you’ll know." Qin Qian added, because in B Country, Gu Mian shared a room with Gu Yao.
Gu Yao was poking at her phone, gossiping about something when Qin Qian approached her and hurriedly asked, "Yao Yao, has your big sister been reading these past few days?"
Gu Yao looked up and blinked, "Yeah, she reads every night."
That’s Gu Mian’s habit; she reads for a while before going to sleep.
It’s just that now she’s living outside and only comes home on weekends, spending time playing mahjong with her sisters, so they all forgot about her reading habit.
