Marry first then love, hello president! Married? Not married? Read books every day
She stared at Joss's eyes without blinking, even in overalls, she couldn't hide her perfect figure, her half-long hair scattered behind her back, and the whole person smiled with a lot of flavor. Such a woman has a fatal attraction to men, and as a woman herself, she can't help but take two more glances.
Not only is the name nice, but the person also looks so beautiful.
Take a look at yourself, like an underdeveloped primary school student, let out a sigh, damn it, not even on the battlefield yet, and she's already about to collapse.
When Jo spoke, the applause below was thunderous, and the men's eyes sparkled with envy.
"I thought those female bosses were all tomboys, but I didn't expect our deputy manager to be so beautiful, haha, from now on there will definitely be many male colleagues coming to our sales department to visit"
Fei Xue had never been willing to see other beautiful women, but now even Fei Xue was praising her, and Si Mian became even more disheartened.
Throughout the entire meeting, she didn't hear anything being said. After the meeting was dismissed, she was still in a daze and if Xia Ri hadn't called her, she might have sat there until the end of work hours.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Si Mian had just walked out of Tian Heng when she saw a familiar car. Gu Mo saw her looking dazed and chuckled, "What's with that expression? Didn't you get off work too early? You're still not awake yet?"
He rarely sends her to work on weekdays, and today he happens to have time to pick her up from work.
"I'm working very seriously," he said listlessly.
"Hey, that woman is really beautiful! I wonder what Gu Da Shu would think if he knew Qiao Si was at Tian Heng? Ugh, it's so annoying!"
"Who would believe it?" Gu Mo reached out and gently pressed down on her head.
He shrugged and said with a mischievous tone, "I don't care if you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
At this time, a figure emerged from the Tian Heng building, slender and light-footed. Qiao Si was standing by the road, holding a file folder and waiting for a ride, as her car had been sent in for maintenance, so Ke Xin would be coming to pick her up.
Gu Mo slowly started the car, and when he inadvertently swept his gaze over to see that familiar figure, the car suddenly screeched to a halt.
The screeching sound of the tires scraping against the ground made Jiao Si turn her head, and Gu Mo's eyes met hers.
Qiao Si's hair was fluttering, she had changed out of her work clothes and was dressed casually, looking even more charming. When she saw Gu Mo, her expression froze for a moment.
Three years without seeing him, he is still as handsome as before, but looks more stable and introverted, and it's said that his career has developed very well.
Qiao Si lowered her eyes and didn't take the initiative to greet him.
Gu Mo stared at her unblinkingly, his expression unreadable. It had been three years, she should be married by now. Subconsciously, he glanced at her ring finger, but didn't see a wedding ring, and furrowed his brow.
He didn't even mean to greet her, and after that awkward proposal incident, he thought he would never see her again. But this encounter came too suddenly, and his wife, Si Mian, was sitting right next to him.
He originally was talking to her, but he suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing her body to lurch forward and then bounce back. She let out a startled cry, "Uncle Gu, what's wrong..."
He hadn't finished speaking when he saw a strange expression on his face. Following his gaze, he saw Joanne by the side of the road.
Si Mian's heart tightened for a moment, then pretended as if nothing had happened, smiling and waving, "Manager Qiao"
Jo smiled faintly and said "hello".
"Manager Qiao, I'm Si Mai from the sales department, remember me?"
"I remember seeing you at this morning's meeting," Josephine said with a hint of nervousness, trying to keep a smile on her face.
"Manager Qiao has a really good memory."
Gu Mo also returned to normal, with a lot more gentleness in his eyes. He smiled faintly and said, "It's not good to wait for the bus here, I'll give you a ride."
Upon hearing this, Jo smiled sincerely and said, "No need, Kexin will be here soon."
"Alright then." Gu Mo nodded.
Joanne pursed her lips before saying, "I heard... you're married, congratulations"
According to politeness, he should have said thank you, but he couldn't say it out loud. He even had an urge to say, no, I'm not married yet.
He didn't say a word, just stared at her fixedly. Jo also looked at him, and there seemed to be thousands of words in her eyes.
Si Mian sat in the front passenger seat, seeing him like that, felt uncomfortable in her heart. Gu Da Shu still hadn't forgotten about Qiao Si, otherwise why would he stare at someone so absent-mindedly, as if he was possessed.
The two of them gazed deeply at each other, and then Si Mian said in a tone that spoiled the romantic atmosphere, "Gu Da Shu, I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Qiao Si looked at Si Mian, her face embarrassed. Just as she was at a loss for what to do, Qiao Ke Xin drove up. Qiao Si quickly ran a few steps to get in the car, looking a bit flustered, and said "drive" after closing the door.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You look so flustered?" Qiao Ke Xin didn't see Gu Mo.
"It's nothing, I just want to go home early."
"No problem, hold on tight—" Qiao Ke Xin stepped on the gas pedal and the car quickly disappeared into the traffic.
The cars all disappeared from view, and Gu Mo slowly started the car, but on the way, he didn't say another word, looking very worried, his thin lips pursed tightly.
Si Mian held up her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and from the reflection in the mirror, she saw that her whole face was puffed up. Hum, hateful Gu Da Shu, if you can't bear to part with him, why don't you go after him? Entwined, reluctant to leave, ah, you're acting like a tragic hero.
The car stopped, and the driver got out and slammed the door heavily before walking away with a sullen expression, without even looking back at him.
As for her behavior, Gu Mo seemed to have not seen it. If it were in the past, he would have scolded her by now, but today he seemed absent-minded.
It's really her, three years have passed and she is still so beautiful.
In the room, Gu Mo took off his clothes and said, "Throw this in the washing machine later."
"No time." Si Mian directly threw out two words.
"What are you going to do? No time?" This girl also has busy times, it's really rare.
"Reading books, aren't you always forcing me to read every day?" Siwen said in a bad mood.
Just thinking about how Gu Mo looked at Qiao Si earlier, she was furious. Hum, maybe now the stinky man is regretting getting married. If they weren't married, he could have directly gone back to his old lover. Hum, serves him right, who told him to insist on marrying her in the first place?
Gu Mo didn't say anything else and directly threw his clothes into the washing machine. When he came out, he said, "In two days, we'll go back home to live."
Home is closer to Tianhe, and it's more convenient to take a bus. Moreover, going back is more flexible, so thinking about it, I still want to move back.
"It doesn't matter" said Si Mian, who also had no opinion on the matter.
At night, Gu Mo rarely had no work to do and sat on the chair on the balcony of his bedroom with a book on his knees, but half an hour had passed and he was still on the same page.
Si Mian sat inside, separated by a glass wall, looking at him, still seeing for the first time that something had such an impact on him.
She's a straightforward person, can't keep anything to herself. If you don't ask her, she'll be uncomfortable. She thought for a moment and walked over, sticking her head out to say, "Uncle Gu, I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic. On our first meeting, you're already offering to give our manager a ride."
He suddenly lifted his head, glanced at her, then lowered it again, quickly flipping through a few pages of the book. "Go read your book and don't disturb me."
Si Mian stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, "What is it that you don't dare to admit? Isn't it your old lover?"
He paused in his action of flipping through the book, lifted his head and looked at her, "What did you say?"
"I know you two used to date and you even proposed to her"
That past matter was something Gu Mo was extremely unwilling to bring up. Suddenly, he became somewhat irritated and asked, "Who told you?"
"No one told me, I found it myself. The ring was originally placed in the study at home, but later disappeared."
Gu Mo was extremely displeased and scolded, "You rummaged through my study while I wasn't home, that's going too far!"
Si Mian was startled by his anger, but she quickly gathered her courage and shouted back, "What are you yelling at me for? I saw it unintentionally when I went in to look up some information."
"Accidentally seen?" Gu Mo coldly snorted, "The ring was placed in the innermost part of the desk drawer. There's nothing you need in there, so how could you have seen it if you weren't intentionally searching?"
She glared at him, biting her lower lip, feeling unbearable, making her sound like a jealous woman, hateful stinky man.
"Look at me and listen carefully. From now on, you are not allowed to enter my study room again, nor should you go around asking about my private matters. I don't want to mention what happened in the past again, do you understand?"
The driver didn't say anything.
"I'm asking you a question, did you hear me clearly?" Gu Mo scolded in a stern tone.
"You think I care?" she said, and then stormed off, hiding in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and cursing loudly, "Damn it, Gu Mo, I hate you, I hate you to death!"
Gu Mo heard it, but didn't respond to her and turned around to go downstairs.
She was filled with resentment, constantly kicking the wall with her feet. "I'm telling you, if you weren't my husband, do you think I'd be willing to ask you? You don't have to say anything, I don't care about knowing anyway. Don't think that just because we've been in a relationship before, you're superior or something. Believe me, sister can go out and find ten or eight more guys like you."
Scolded for a while, came out and took a look, no one was seen.
"Hmph, in the past, he would definitely coax himself, but now that his old lover is back, it's like this, who has such a person?"
How hateful! How hateful!!
The more she thought about it, the less happy she became. Who doesn't have an old flame? She didn't say that there was still something ambiguous between them, but his behavior today made her a bit unhappy, so she wanted to ask him. If he wasn't concerned, she would tell him about their past relationship and then not mention it again.
But he's like that, clearly with a guilty conscience.
And they're all married, with Nima's engagement ring still on, what does that mean.
When a person is arrogant, they can do anything, and since Si Mian is still young, he is impulsive and hot-headed, and cannot control his temper.
She is a person who yields to softness but resists hardness. Normally, when Gu Mo scolds her, she doesn't take it seriously and just amuses herself for a while before becoming happy again. But this time, she was particularly angry.
He pulled out a blue velvet box from his bag, rushed to the balcony, bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it away.
Gu Mo attaches great importance to privacy. If he knew that his things had been thrown away, he would definitely be angry. But now she knows and still threw them away, it's really hateful.
Being too young results in acting impulsively and being inexperienced.
After throwing it away, Si Mian still didn't feel relieved, so he pouted and kicked the air.
……
Ever since he saw Qiao Si, Gu Mo's heart was in a mess. The person who clearly said they were going to get married didn't have a wedding ring on their finger. Was she really married or not?
Gu Mo made an appointment with An Dongjian to go out, he needed to vent a bit.
He knew he couldn't hold back his temper now, and if he continued to be alone with Si Mian, he was afraid that she would continue to ask questions and he would end up hurting her with his words. She was such a sensitive person, and one careless sentence could easily hurt her young heart.
He has always been rational in dealing with things, so before he loses his mind, he wants to calm himself down first.
Anton saw him and knew something was wrong, so he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"Qiao Si is back and still working at Tian Heng, becoming the superior of Si Mian." Gu Mo's heart was very annoyed.
"What?" Anton exclaimed in surprise. "She's back? Isn't she married? How did she end up coming back here? I thought she'd be settling down somewhere else."
"I didn't know, I thought she was married too, but there's no wedding ring on her hand, I don't know what happened" Gu Mo's face looked terrible, "Damn it, why did she have to come back at this time?" After saying that, he heavily punched the sofa.
He was just preparing to spend his days with Si Mian.
Anton and he have been good friends for many years, rarely seeing him so depressed, and also somewhat understanding her.
"Her home is here, and it's normal for her to come back. Just because she doesn't wear a wedding ring doesn't mean she's not married. Don't think too much about it, you guys don't have a chance anyway." Although Anton usually has a careless attitude, when it comes to advising others, he still does it in a proper manner.
Gu Mo's face sank, "The key is, today Si Mian also saw it, and he even knows that I once proposed to Qiao Si. Do you know how embarrassing I was at the time?"
This is simply a big stain on his life.
"Si Mian knows you proposed to Qiao Si?" Antong Jian was surprised.
"Yes, and I don't know how she knew it either, and now Jo is even above Siwen in the hierarchy"
"Then they won't meet often?" His ex-girlfriend and current wife, this is a bit explosive, he curiously asked, "Seeing Qiao Si today, do you still have the heart of that year?"
"Is it important? Or did you say I'm already married?"
If Gu Mo still had feelings for her, then Si Mian would be pitied, she was quite to his liking, and An Dongjian really didn't want her to suffer.
"Remember that you're married now, you're Su Wei's husband and it was your choice to marry her. She's innocent, no matter what happened between you and Qiao Si in the past, don't hurt her."
When he said that, Gu Mo actually regretted being so harsh on Si Mian earlier. Dong Jian was right, the most innocent person in this matter was her, how could he use his past to hurt her?
He didn't actually want to scold her, but when he was most annoyed and distracted, she deliberately brought up Jo, and he couldn't help but say something heavy.
Especially when she mentioned the proposal, that was his secret and his unbearable past. Being said by her like that, it's as if she saw his failure back then. How could he not be furious?
Jiao Si is back, Nanhua City said it's not big or small, if you say there's zero percent chance of running into each other, that's also not entirely possible.
The acquaintance and romance between Jiao Si and him was the craziest and most wonderful time in Gu Mo's past life, she witnessed his career ups and downs, and accompanied him through many unforgettable moments.
Qiao Si was his first love, and it's probably hard to believe that before the age of 22, he had never been in a romantic relationship because he thought young love was especially childish, and holding hands with a girl on the street was simply a waste of time.
But everything changed after meeting Joss.
At that time, he was preparing for the election and was busy until several o'clock in the morning every day.
That day, at 2 am again, he was driving home with some fatigue, his phone rang, and when he reached for the phone, he didn't notice that the car in front suddenly stopped, and then crashed straight into it.
Gu Mo thought the owner of the car in front would definitely make a big fuss, he had already prepared to pay for compensation and solve the problem, just hoping that person could be straightforward and quote a price quickly, now he just wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible.
But unexpectedly, the person who got out of the car was a young girl. She quickly walked to his window and apologized with a look of remorse, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stop suddenly. Are you hurt? If you're not feeling well, I'll take you to the hospital. Don't worry, I'll cover all medical expenses."
Her crisp and sweet voice was like a magnet, instantly attracting Gu Mo. He had never heard a girl's voice as good as hers before.
He sat in the car, staring blankly at her pale face, his heart suddenly racing fast, then he did what he used to despise, insisting that his arm was injured and asking her to accompany him to the hospital just to get her contact information.
Went to the hospital, the doctor said there was no problem, Qiao Si also breathed a sigh of relief. When they parted ways, Gu Mo said, "Do you want to leave me with your contact information? What if this injury is latent and doesn't show up now, but erupts later? Who will I look for then?"
It wasn't until then that Gu Mo realized he could also lie without batting an eyelid.
She didn't refuse at all and immediately gave it to him, "Sir, if you have any discomfort, you can call me anytime, I will definitely not shirk responsibility."
Gu Mo would sometimes use his injuries as an excuse to call her, and after a few back-and-forths, the two became familiar with each other, eventually naturally walking together.
Later, Qiao Si also understood why he asked for her number at that time. She thoughtlessly gave it to him, not only because of his sense of responsibility, but also because she had a good impression of him from the moment she saw him.
Although he was only 22 years old at that time, his wisdom and confidence left a deep impression on 20-year-old Jo.
Look at him now. At that time, he relied on his own efforts to step up one by one, and his career was smooth sailing, and his emotions were also very stable.
They are really happy, and friends around them think they will definitely get married and hold hands until old age.
Gu Mo's thoughts slowly came back, and the past, no matter how beautiful, had become a memory.
"Alright, you're a married man now, go home early. People like us, golden bachelors, can have fun freely." After saying that, An Dongjian raised his mischievous smile and walked towards the sexy beauty not far away. "I've been looking at you for a long time, you're the most beautiful woman in the room tonight. May I have the pleasure of inviting you to a drink?"
Gu Mo saw it and couldn't help but shake his head. A dog can't change its habit of eating feces, he's really given up on him. If one day he gets sick, he definitely won't be surprised.
He slowly got up, picked up his coat and walked out, married, and tried to spend fewer nights outside.
…..
At night, Si Mian suddenly received a notice to send an email to all sales department staff immediately. She didn't have a computer and her phone was inconvenient, so she used Gu Mo's computer on the bedside table.
After sending it out, she was just about to shut down her computer, but while her hand was sliding on the mouse, she accidentally clicked on a key and brought out a hidden file.
It was a set of photo albums. Si Mian hadn't planned on looking, thinking to close it directly, but when she saw the first small photo, the person inside made her unable to help but open it.
Every photo is of Qiao Si, taken very beautifully, it can be seen that the photographer was very careful in capturing.
As she scrolled down, her hand stopped when she saw a photo of the two kissing.
Qiao Si blushed and Gu Mo suddenly leaned in to kiss her, taking a photo with his other hand.
She looked at the photo on the screen, her heart aching dully.
At that time, Qiao Si was wearing a ponytail with the prettiness and liveliness of a young girl, looking much more innocent than now, without any makeup on her face, but it did not affect her beauty at all.
Gu Mo really loved Qiao Si at that time, it could be seen from his eyes. When he looked at her, his expression was full of focus and gentleness, unlike when he looked at himself, which was filled with impatience and severity.
She stared blankly ahead, feeling more uncomfortable than she ever had before.
The people inside haven't changed, but the scenery has changed a lot. There are mountains and seas; they must have traveled together many times.
Wherever she goes, Gu Mei always carries a camera with her, recording every word and action, every glance, and every smile.
Si Mian slapped his own hand, his eyes red with anger. "What's wrong with you, digging up this thing? When buying lottery tickets, why didn't I see you being so accurate? You're just messing around, messing around!"
Turned off the computer in a state of anxiety and confusion, but forgot to clear one's browsing history.
He came back, Si Mian pretended to read a book and didn't want to talk to him. Gu Mo looked at her and wanted to say sorry, but the words couldn't be spoken no matter how hard he tried.
Forget it, according to her temper, she will calm down in a few days, and today is not entirely his fault, never mind.
After taking a bath, Gu Mo sat on the bed with his computer handling matters. Since it was a work computer, there were confidential files inside, so he had installed many anti-theft software programs that could clearly show who had opened the computer and what they had browsed.
He saw that the record showed that the computer had been opened shortly before he came back, and he didn't think much of it, because Si Mian occasionally used his computer to browse the internet.
However, when he saw the browsing history, his eyebrows furrowed, and he clicked on it. The photos suddenly appeared, and the past scenes seemed to appear before his eyes.
