Sonata: Fleeing to Avoid an Arranged Marriage(Hiatus)

Chapter 28.2

The corner of Mi Qing’s mouth quivered. She still wanted to argue but was pulled by Zhou Yiran beside her: “It doesn’t matter how much he deducts from you, I will double it to you.”

Xiao Gu looked at Zhou Yiran. Zhou Yiran met his eyes and smiled at him.

Xiao Gu looked down, got up from the chair, and went out. Mi Qing called him, but Xiao Gu turned around and just stared at her silently.

“Uh …” Mi Qing somehow found it difficult to speak, afraid that Xiao Gu would refuse what she was about to ask. She bit her somewhat dry lips and asked Xiao Gu: “Well, tomorrow, I want to take a day off, can I?”

“No,” Xiao Gu answered without thinking.

He refused so neatly, which angered Mi Qing in an instant: “Why not? I am asking for a leave, and you can deduct it from my salary.”

Xiao Gu said, “Tell me what’s the purpose first.”

Mi Qing froze. She was hesitant to explain that she would like to go out with Rabbit gege tomorrow.

Xiao Gu’s brow twisted almost invisibly, and then he turned around and walked forward. Mi Qing yelled angrily: “Then can I swap shifts with someone else?”

After speaking, she glanced at Chen Shishi, who was standing next to Gu Xin, and asked, “Tomorrow, please cover my shift and I’ll cover for you next time.”

She thought that Chen Shishi would definitely agree based on their friendship. Against all expectations, Chen Shishi actually rejected her: “Uh, I am going to have my final exams soon, and I have an appointment with someone for a review at the library tomorrow.”

Mi Qing’s eyebrow jumped in curiosity: “You can go to the library at any time, are you going on a date with your boyfriend?”

“Of course not! I don’t have a boyfriend, don’t talk nonsense!” Feeling probing eyes from Gu Xin, Chen Shishi explained a little nervously.

Mi Qing bit the corner of her mouth and didn’t insist anymore: “Then I’ll find someone else to take my place.”

Chen Shishi glanced at Xiao Gu, who was still standing outside the private room, and whispered covertly, “The boss obviously refuses you to take a leave, so no one is definitely going to cover for you.”

Mi Qing: “…”

Zhou Yiran looked at Mi Qing’s wrinkled face and smiled: “It doesn’t matter. We will go out to play when you are free. Anyway, I will stay in City A for a while.”

The moment his comforting words fell, Gu Xin and Chen Shishi’s eyes fell on him, and Xiao Gu outside the door also glanced back calmly.

Zhou Yiran brushed off their disquiet and instead took his seat and invited Mi Qing to the table, “Would you like to eat with us together?”

Of course, Mi Qing was dying to agree. But with Boss Xiao outside, if she were to nod her head, she’s afraid that he’d pour the soup in the pot over her head on the spot: “I’m still at work, enjoy your meal, I’ll go and help you fetch some vegetables.”

She declined and went out, snorting as she went past Xiao Gu.

Gu Xin thought for a moment, and also invited Xiao outside the door: “Would you like to stay in and eat together?”
