Our Glamorous Time

Chapter 26: Never Regret Decisions Made

Ten minutes later.

Lin Qian rested her chin on her hand, glued her eyes to the screen, seemingly preoccupied and focused.

Her ears were, however, involuntarily listening for any sound stirring in the room next door.

The sound of her boss standing up, pacing around the room. The sound of him sitting down again, typing on his keyboard. Rustling sounds... him flipping through some documents...

Everything sounded normal, very productive even. Not a trace of frustration nor sudden change in emotion, common symptoms in a lovesick person.

Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

On second thought, she was definitely worrying for no reason! People like him must be good at controlling their emotions and feelings. Or perhaps, even though unrequited in love, romance for him in general was not a priority. One could figure this out from another specimen his species, Lin Mochen.

But Lin Qian was a little restless; mouse in hand, she clicked aimlessly on the screen.

When it comes to relationships, it's not like rejecting him or not loving him makes you the winner and you can rejoice without any worry. It always takes two to work at a relationship; it's also a double-edged sword.

Right after she had finished the line, Lin Qian wanted to bite her tongue off. Why had her tone sounded guilty and foolish, like a student admitting her mistake to the teacher?

Then, she had seen him sitting behind his office desk, expressionless as before, staring at her using his dark, deep eyes. He had kept staring at her. His gaze had made her feel uncomfortable.

She had lowered her head, avoiding his gaze; she'd come up with an excuse and left the room.

"What are you thinking about that you are so absorbed?" a familiar voice rang.

Lin Qian was surprised; she looked up. Gu Yanzhi and Xue Mingtao were standing in front of her. She didn't know how long they had been there.

She immediately collected her thoughts, smiling. "Mr. Gu, Mr. Xue, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Yanzhi smiled without a word; he seemed refreshed. Also smiling, Xue Mingtao said, "Where's your coat? Aren't you coming?"

Lin Qian paused momentarily; only then did she notice that both of them were in coats, and Xue Mingtao had an office bag in his hand, ready to leave. Before she could respond, she heard steady footsteps walking over to them. Li Zhicheng's deep voice rang out. "She is going."

Lin Qian froze for a moment, then she quickly stood up, tried to look normal, turned and said with a smile, "Mr. Li."

She was surprised.

Li Zhicheng had his coat on, still the same black coat that made him look tall and cool. Beneath his short hair, his dark eyes were indifferent; his gaze paused on her for a while, his deep voice ordering, "Grab your coat. We're going out."

Nothing peculiar, expressionless as before. He looked just the same as usual. In contrast with the dominance and enthusiasm shown in the office just now, he felt like a different person.

"Okay," Lin Qian replied. She turned off her computer, put on her coat, and followed after the three of them to the elevator.

The car cruised steadily on the ring road.

Xue Mingtao was the driver; Lin Qian was in the passenger seat as usual.

Today's sales were still rising; therefore, Xue Mingtao was chatting happily with the two bosses while driving. Gu Yanzhi was obviously in a good mood too; he even teased Li Zhicheng, saying that he should treat them.
