ATBLM [QT] Chapter 124.1

Jiang Rui and Gu An entered a nearby coffee shop, sat in a seat by the window, and ordered a cup of coffee each.

“Have you been busy recently?” Gu An asked her through the aroma of coffee.

Jiang Rui picked up the small silver spoon, stirred it, and said, “We’re arranging a new piece of music, so I’m busier than usual.”

Gu An smiled and said, “Remember to let me know when the show will be performed, I will go and support it.”

“Mr. Gu is so busy, why waste time on such a trivial matter?” Jiang Rui refused calmly.

Gu An smiled and said: “This sounds embarrassing, but I sincerely want to make friends with Miss Shen, so Miss Shen can just call me by my name.”

Jiang Rui curled up the corner of her mouth and said, “I’m used to it, so let’s keep it as it is.”

When Gu An saw this, he had no choice but to smile.

There was a black car parked outside the cafe. Xiao Lin sat in the passenger seat and tried his best to look past the driver to observe what was going on in the cafe. He was quite ready to make a move: “Mr. Xing, let me go down and take a look.”

Xing Yan put his hand on his forehead and looked outside. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked him, “What are you looking at?”

“Uh… Look at what they say.”

“How could you do such a thing?” Xing Yan said righteously, “It’s immoral to listen to other people’s conversations.”

Seeing the boss’s upright face, Xiao Lin felt ashamed, but he heard him say again: “But I’m thirsty. Go buy me a cup of coffee. By the way, don’t be too anxious to come back. I’ll buy you and Old Zhang a cup too.” (T/N: Xing Yan: See, how upright I am!)

“…” Xiao Lin.

The driver, Old Zhan, said honestly and kindly: “Thank you, Mr. Xing. Thank you, Mr. Xiao Lin.”

Xiao Lin finally got out of the car and walked into the cafe pretending not to look away.

In fact, Jiang Rui had discovered Xing Yan’s car just now downstairs of the building but just pretended not to know. She picked up the coffee and glanced out of the glass as if inadvertently.

Even though there was a one-way view through the car window and he knew that she could not see him at all, Xing Yan still turned his head subconsciously. When he reacted, he clicked his tongue at himself. After finishing his click, he looked at the beauty more intently.

“A beauty is a beauty. She looks so good even when drinking coffee.” He said to himself.

“Why don’t we talk about what Mr. Gu mentioned before?” Jiang Rui withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu An.

The moment he looked into her eyes, Gu An felt a strong pressure as if she could see through his heart, which made him nervous. But when he calmed down and looked at her again, the woman opposite him already lowered her eyes slightly, but she still had cold and stunning eyebrows as if it was his illusion just now.

He hesitated for a moment and then told all the things that he had planned to hide half and tell half, “I would like to ask Miss Shen to perform a play with me.”

It turned out that Gu An already had a girlfriend when he was in college, but her family background was too poor. The Gu family had always disagreed and ordered the two to break up. Under family pressure, the two people had to temporarily turn their relationship into darkness, hoping that time would make Gu’s family change their minds.

However, they did not expect that the Gu family would let Gu An go on a blind date, and they were determined to marry him to a well-matched woman. Gu An was overwhelmed and fell into a cold war with his girlfriend because of this matter.

When he was depressed, he suddenly thought of an idea and wanted to invite Jiang Rui. Acting in a scene with him, they don’t have to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, just pretend that the two of them are in contact and have a tacit understanding.

Therefore, the Gu family will not arrange another girl for him. He can also use this time to explain clearly to his girlfriend and discuss countermeasures.
