"If it's inconvenient for you, then I'll make an appointment with you another day." Huang Jing was not a fool. She could naturally see the obvious rejection on Gu Junlin's face. She took a step back and prepared to turn around and leave.
Gu Junlin stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, saying, "Now, let's handle this matter as soon as possible. Sorry, I just hesitated because my daughter was at home, and I was afraid that my official duties would be affected."
After hearing his explanation, Huang Jing's ugly face improved a little. She snorted softly: "I thought it was because they didn't want to invite me in. I can tell you, I have made an appointment with someone. If Captain Xing Tian hadn't kept calling,
Call me, I won’t work overtime!”
"Do you need to change into slippers?"
Gu Junlin leaned over and pulled out a pair of shoe covers and handed them to her: "Wear disposable shoe covers, it's more convenient."
After Huang Jing put it on, Xuanxuan came out of the bedroom. She blinked her eyes and said, "Dad, is mom back?"
"Hey, why is there an aunt I don't know?" Xuanxuan looked closely at Huang Jing.
Gu Junlin and Zhong Huixue are both good-looking, and as their daughter, Xuanxuan has inherited all the advantages. Big eyes, a high nose, a small face, soft and waxy, and looks like an exquisite Barbie doll.
After seeing Xuanxuan, Huang Jing's eyes lit up: "Is this your daughter? She is so beautiful! Little cutie, what is your name?"
"My name is Xuanxuan, aunt, who are you? I have never seen you before. Are you dad's friend?"
The first one and the second one started talking, and Gu Junlin took advantage of this opportunity to edit a text message and send it to Zhong Huixue, explaining the situation briefly and concisely.
Lest she find out afterwards that she feels uncomfortable.
"No, I'm your father's colleague. I need his help with something important." Huang Jing smiled softly. She heard the gurgling sound and felt something was wrong.
Turning to look at Gu Junlin, he was holding a mobile phone, his long fingers moving quickly on the screen, obviously typing.
"Gu Junlin, have you boiled the water? I keep hearing noises. Do I need to pull the plug?"
Her reminder reminded Gu Junlin that there was still something cooking in the pot. He slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot that I was still cooking. Have you had dinner? Can you eat some with us?"
"Forget it, I wasted your time in the first place and even had a meal, I'm so embarrassed to say it." Huang Jing said this, but her eyes were staring straight at the kitchen, obviously she was hungry.
How could Gu Junlin not understand what she was thinking? He laughed and said, "I've done a lot. Besides, I won't leave you alone. Let's sit down and eat together."
"Okay, but time is urgent. The captain is urging me. I may have to eat and code at the same time." Huang Jing took out her notebook, opened the document, and smiled at him.
He also knew that Xingtian probably had no choice, otherwise Huang Jing would not have come to him at this point. He knelt down and touched Xuanxuan's head: "Xuanxuan, Dad and Aunt Huang are busy with something, please wait and eat.
Let's go read a picture book after dinner, okay? Mom will come back later and give you a bath."
Xuanxuan was very well-behaved and sensible. She said thoughtfully: "Dad, don't worry, I am already a little adult and can take good care of myself."
Hearing his daughter's words, Gu Junlin felt warm in his heart. No wonder others said that his daughter was a caring little cotton-padded jacket. This was absolutely true.
Gu Junlin cooked a few home-cooked side dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, full of color, flavor and taste, which looked pretty good.
Huang Jing watched him bring out one dish after another, and the greedy bug in her stomach was aroused: "Gu Junlin, I didn't expect you to be so good! I haven't even tasted this dish, and my stomach is growling with hunger!
"
"Auntie, try it quickly. My father's cooking is delicious." Xuanxuan was very proud.
Huang Jing was not polite and directly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She enjoyed it: "It tastes really good."
"It's a pity that I still have official duties, so I can't enjoy the delicious food. Please tell me quickly and analyze Song Ke's mental state..."
Gu Junlin spoke unhurriedly and spoke out all his inferences and thoughts word for word.
Time passed unconsciously, and suddenly, the door opened.
Gu Junlin subconsciously stood up and went to the door to greet him: "You're back? How's things going?"
Zhong Huixue stuffed her bag into his arms and complained while changing her shoes: "Don't mention it, Li Yong's family is all top-notch, and relatives also want to come over and join in the fun. We have spent a lot of effort to stabilize them, and we only hope that tomorrow
Didn't they change their mind when they signed the agreement?"
"Have you cooked? I'm starving..."
With that said, Zhong Huixue walked out of the entrance hall and was about to see what else was on the table, when she happened to meet Huang Jing's eyes.
Her words stopped suddenly, and the two of them stared at each other.
Huang Jing glanced at the empty plate with her peripheral vision, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have some business to see him, so I had a meal by the way. How about I order a takeaway for you?"
It took Zhong Huixue a while to react, and she forced out a smile: "It's okay, you guys talk first, I'll take care of the child."
She went back to her room and closed the door.
Huang Jing felt uncomfortable. She looked at the time and saw that it was already late, so she said very wisely: "It's almost done. I will do the rest freely. You can rest first."
"Your wife is still hungry, please make something for her to eat."
She ran away very quickly, leaving a lot of mess for Gu Junlin to clean up.
He held his forehead helplessly, walked carefully to the door of the room, opened it, and asked, "Can I place some noodles for you?"
Zhong Huixue glanced at him nonchalantly: "You are really capable. You promised me to keep your distance, but everyone came to your house."
"You really can't blame me for this. Besides, I sent you a text message. Didn't you read it?"
After hearing his words, Zhong Huixue opened her phone. She had a lot of unread messages. It took her a long time to find the message Gu Junlin sent two hours ago.
After reading it, his face became better: "No wonder you are so confident, you have reported to me in advance."
"Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to worry about such a trivial matter. I still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with." Zhong Huixue was so busy that she didn't have the time to be jealous. She waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and give me another bowl.
beef noodles."
"Okay." After receiving the order, Gu Junlin did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and went to the kitchen.
A quarter of an hour later, the beef noodles were cooked, and Zhong Huixue also coaxed Xuanxuan to sleep. She came out softly and shared today's events with Gu Junlin while eating the noodles.
"What happened today really made me admire Zhong Junyi. His language skills are quite good. He made Li Yong's wife believe him in just a few words."
