Returning late to see the day (17) _1
“Yes, it’s going quite smoothly.” She only felt at ease when work was mentioned. She couldn’t help but say a few more words, ” brother Yumu has received the funds and has been rushing the project. The suggestions he gave are very useful. We should be able to finish the project on time.
“If you need anything, you can look for me anytime.” Xu Chi turned to look at her. my number hasn’t changed.
Goldy didn’t know what he meant after that. It smiled and nodded. Oh, okay. I’ll definitely look for you if I need anything.
Xu Chi narrowed his eyes and pursed his thin lips, as if he was enduring something.
She said that, but in fact, even if she had something to do, she would only find someone else to look for Xie Yumu. Just like this investment in the Shanshui town project, the first person she thought of was Xie Yumu.
Goldy didn’t know what he was thinking in his heart. It only thought that he was just being polite, so it also replied politely.
Fortunately, they would be home soon, so they didn’t have to suffer anymore.
He unbuckled his seat belt and thanked her with a smile, ” “Thank you for sending me back. Be careful on the way back.”
Xu Chi nodded. I’m sorry for scaring you tonight. I’ll get someone to tow the car and pay for the subsequent repair costs. You don’t have to worry about it.
“My car has insurance, I’ll take the insurance ...”
He interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Goldy, please don’t be so polite with me.
He used the word ‘please’, and his tone sounded like he was pleading.
He didn’t like it when they became so polite and perfunctory.
Goldy could only swallow back the words that were stuck in her throat. alright, then I’ll have to trouble brother Xu Chi.
His tightly furrowed brows eased a little. He instructed in a deep voice, ” go back and rest early.
Goldy nodded, got out of the car, and walked into the house. After a few steps, it turned back and saw that the Hummer was still parked at the door.
The light was dim and she couldn’t see the person in the car, but she knew that he was definitely looking at her.
Without any further hesitation, he strode into the room.
Bu Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the Hummer outside. brother Xu Chi sent you back.
“Yes.” Goldy did not deny it.
“Where’s your car?”
“There’s been a small accident,” She didn’t want to explain too much. She just wanted to take a hot bath.
Bu Yu followed behind her. why did brother Xu Chi follow you? ”
Goldy stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. you hacked into the surveillance cameras again? ” Lu Buyu, did you forget what I said? you’re not allowed to do anything illegal.”
“It was too late and you didn’t come back. I was worried and went to take a look.” He didn’t expect to see that scene.
“If you keep doing this, I’m really going to tell mom.” The main reason why Goldy warned her was because it didn’t want her to do anything wrong.
Bu Yu pouted. even mom won’t be able to find any traces. As long as I don’t admit it, mom can’t do anything to me.
Goldy,”Ge Ge.”
Were all geniuses so arrogant?
Bu Yu looked at her with his usual cold eyes and asked curiously, ” what’s going on between you and brother Xu Chi? ”
“What do you mean what’s wrong?” Goldy avoided her gaze and continued to walk upstairs.
Bu Yu followed behind her. ever since that man appeared and brother Xu Chi returned, you guys seemed to have changed. At that time, brother Xu Chi found you many schools in country M, but in the end, you chose to go to Australia.
“When you were studying in Australia, you didn’t come back during the holidays, but brother Xu Chi would come over every time and stand at your door for a long time. There was one time when I opened your door to let him in, but when he saw the unopened gifts on the shelf, he left.”
Goldy’s action of opening the door paused. When it saw the neatly arranged gifts on the shelf, its heart suddenly clenched.
Bu Yu continued to ask, “those gifts were all from brother Xu Chi, right? in fact, he has been giving you gifts for the past few years. Christmas, birthday, and new Year. The shelf can’t fit them anymore. I’ve helped you put those gifts in the closet in the cloakroom. If you want to open them, you can go and take a look.”
Goldy turned to look at her. why did you suddenly tell me this? ”
I don’t know what happened between you and brother Xu Chi, but I think he must be very sad that you’re keeping your distance from him.
“You’ve always liked to stick to him since you were young. Even sister Jiayue said that you’re more like brother Xu Chi’s sister than her.”
After bu Yu finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly, as if he was feeling very regretful.
Goldy lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to tell anyone about what happened in the countryside that year, nor did she want to mention it again. However, people kept asking her and Xu Chi what was going on, and it was inevitable that her mood would be triggered.
She thought that she had done a good job, but in the eyes of others, she had distanced herself from Xu Chi and let down Xu Chi’s love and care for her for so many years.
Was she really in the wrong?
Goldy returned to her room and sat for a while. She couldn’t help but walk into the cloakroom. In the corner of the cabinet, she saw the gifts that Xu Chi had given her over the past few years.
A label was attached to the beautiful wrapping paper, and the words were written in strong handwriting: A Christmas present for Goldy.
– A birthday present for Goldy.
A New Year’s gift for Goldy.
[ a graduation gift for Goldy. Happy Graduation. ]
She looked at the presents for a long time, but in the end, she closed the closet without opening a single one.
Perhaps other than the fact that he didn’t like her, he was really a good brother, and she shouldn’t hurt his heart again because of the love she had for him when she was young.
The next day, Xu Chi’s driver sent her the latest SUV. It was more convenient to drive an SUV because she always had to travel to Shanshui town.
Goldy didn’t refuse. It took the car keys happily and even took the initiative to call Xu Chi.
Xu Chi was surprised when he received her call. He thought she was calling to reject him. Before he could say the reason he had prepared in advance, he heard the girl’s crisp voice on the other end of the phone. brother Xu Chi, I’ve received the car. Thank you. I’ll return it to you after my car is fixed.”
Xu Chi was silent. He was at a loss for what to do about her sudden change.
Goldy couldn’t hear his voice. It called out in confusion, ” brother Xu Chi, brother Xu Chi Wanwan.
Xu Chi came back to his senses and opened his thin lips slightly. you don’t have to return it. Take it as my apology.
“That’s not very good.” Goldy was a little hesitant. this car seems to be very expensive.
it’s not expensive. It’s a free gift from our company’s partner. Xu Chi explained to her in a gentle voice, ” even if you don’t open it, it’s for Jiayue. I don’t usually use it.
Oh! Goldy hesitated for a moment but did not refuse. then when my project is completed and I get the bonus, I will return you a gift, but it may not be as expensive.
She was only the person in charge of this project. Even if the project was successful, she would not be as generous as him.
“As you wish.” Xu Chi’s lips curved up silently. you can give me anything you want.
then it’s settled. I won’t disturb you anymore. Bye.
“Bye.”
Xu Chi waited for her to hang up. He looked at the screen that had not dimmed and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The little girl finally stopped hiding from him. She was distant and polite with him.

See you tomorrow.
