Chereads / THE THORNS OF LOVE / Chapter 27 - Compensation

Chapter 27 - Compensation

  Gu Xijun had never imagined that Qifan's thunderous Cheng Zihao would also have moments of cheeky scoundrels. Originally thinking that the relationship between the two had been cleared up that night, she realized the next day that the abrasive troubles had just begun.

  Cheng Zihao did keep his promise and did not take the initiative to contact Gu Xijun. However, since that day, mysterious gifts had always fallen from the sky, lying properly on her desk every morning.

  No matter how much they asked, no one knew who the gifts were put up by.

  Just like Cheng Zihao's character, the selection of gifts is always simple but luxurious. Sometimes it would be a small bouquet of tulips with watery dew just off the plane, or a limited edition handbag or a small piece of jewelry.

  Gu Xijun had tried arriving at the office early, only to find that the gifts came earlier than she did. In order not to be the object of others' comments, she would always secretly hide the gifts in a drawer.

  Aunt Chen's loving bento had been upgraded from lunch to three meals a day, with the right mix of nutrients while being delicious, and delivered toGu Xijun's company rain or shine.

  No matter howGu Xijun persuaded her, Aunt Chen did not interrupt her work and mentioned Cheng Zihao's recent situation in front of her from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally.

  For example, he recently worked overtime night after night for the launch of a new product, or he went on a business trip to Hong Kong yesterday, and even his dining tastes, Auntie Chen hated to report on each and every one of them.

  Over time, Gu Xijun also became numb to hearing it. In order to avoid her coworkers' inquiries, she had to lie and say that Aunt Chen was her relative, delivering meals to her daughter who worked nearby, and incidentally preparing one for her as well.

  On the weekend morning, Gu Xijun received her usual small gift from Cheng Zihao. Only this time the gift was different, there was no delicate packaging, only a simple note, and the dragon's handwriting looked like it came from his hand.

  When she took a good look at this special gift, Gu Xijun suddenly trembled, like a knight meeting his favorite horse, full of tacit understanding and joy.

  The prismacolor.132-color colored pencils with fine powder. Excellent for both light flat strokes and deep depictions.

  Once upon a time, Gu Xijun was always in love with this colored pencil. Every time her brother Gu Bo Qiao traveled on business, she would always yell for him to bring it back for her. However, today was not the same as in the past, and the pricey pencils made her stop.

  White fingertips gently touched on the cold pen, Gu Xijun heart a sigh, but also surged a flutter. While she was in a daze, her cell phone rang with a monotonous ringtone, an unfamiliar number.

  Do you like today's gift? Cheng Zihao's smiling voice came out slowly, with a confident voice that belonged exclusively to him, just like the morning sunshine of this autumn day puts people in a trance.

  Gu Xijun snorted and said, Except for this box of pencils, the previous gifts were all done by the secretary, right?

  Cheng Zihao did not deny it, and answered with a light smile: recently I was too busy and had to ask the secretary lady with vulgar tastes.

  Speak as if you have elegant taste. People in the office were walking around frequently, and Gu Xijun habitually stuffed her gifts into the drawer before realizing that the gift from Cheng Zihao had long since taken up the free spot.

  Not to say how elegant it is, but at least it's something you can enjoy.

  Cheng Zihao. Gu Xijun was a bit distracted and irritated, calling him by his first name in a row. Don't continue to do useless things, forgetting each other in the river and lake is the best ending for us.

  The sound of panting grew stronger, and the man on the other end of the line seemed to be running, his nasal voice thick and strong: I will be responsible for you.

  I will only allow the man I care about to speak responsibly to me. Gu Xijun didn't intend to continue parsing, directly hung up the phone, and then blacked out Cheng Zihao's phone number.
