Chapter 1602: Chapter 1603: I Have a Girlfriend Now
She quickly regained her posure, with a charming smile, “What a coincidence, I haven’t seen Doctor Cui since we last met. I was wondering if Capital City was too big to run into you, and then I happened to encounter you. Doctor Cui, it’s been a while.”
Her demeanor was graceful and posed, showing the poise of a well-bred lady. Her cheeks had a perfect blush like fine rouge, exuding a shy and modest charm, with a unique allure.
In the past, Gu Xue’s appearance and demeanor might have caught his interest for a playful romance, but now he was interested in something beyond childish games!
Cui Jiangjing raised an eyebrow, speaking in a polite but noticeably distant tone, “Mm, long time no see. How did Miss Gu end up in Capital City?”
“I…” Gu Xue had a good impression of Cui Jiangjing’s courteous and approachable manner from their last meeting. Upon suddenly seeing him again, she couldn’t hide her delight. Just about to blurt out that she was sent by her family to bring Gu Linxi back to work, she suddenly became aware of the shabby environment. The words slipped to the tip of her tongue, but she bit them back, showing an unnatural expression and avoiding Cui Jiangjing’s gaze, “I… my… my car broke down.”
“Car broke down?”
She blurted out a lie, and despite her embarrassment and anger, she had no choice but to continue, “Yes, the tire burst halfway, and I discovered a repair shop nearby, so I came over.”
Fearing that Cui Jiangjing would detect her lie, she quickly changed the topic, “What about you? Doctor Cui, are you here to get your car repaired as well?”
Gu Xue couldn’t bring herself to reveal her sister was a mechanic, fearing Cui Jiangjing would find out her connection to Gu Linxi. She feared Gu Linxi might expose her lie and embarrass her. Her mind was in turmoil, eyes fixed on the elegantly relaxed man in front of her, as if doing so would prevent Cui Jiangjing from noticing her oddness.
Gu Linxi saw her tense and worried expression and found it ironic. She understood what Gu Xue was worried about and stepped forward, coldly speaking to the two, “Our shop is closed, not taking orders today. If you need repairs, e some other day. If there’s nothing else, please don’t hinder me from closing the door.”
As she spoke, she moved towards the roller shutter door, pulling it down. The door made a screeching noise, and Gu Xue was furious but couldn’t express it in front of the man she was interested in. She could only awkwardly tug at the corners of her mouth, tightly clutching her latest Chanel handbag, with a slight smile addressing the man in front of her, “Doctor Cui, this shop seems to be closed now. Let’s chat outside. Have you had dinner yet? If you don’t mind, let’s have a meal together?”
For most men, an invitation from a beautiful woman is hard to refuse.
Cui Jiangjing glanced casually at the woman standing by the roller shutter door, a bit impatiently. He chuckled hoarsely, “Sorry, maybe next time. Today I need to pick up my girlfriend and take her to eat at her favorite spicy hotpot place. If there’s a chance in Lin City, I’ll treat Miss Gu to dinner. But not today.”
Gu Xue was a bit stunned, blurting out, “You have, you have a girlfriend?”
So soon?
They only had a blind date last month, she thought he was single, how did he suddenly have a girlfriend?
“Mm, yes.”
Despite feeling a bit disappointed, Gu Xue maintained her posure, forcing a smile that didn’t match her feelings, “Congratulations, Doctor Cui. I’m curious to meet the exceptional girl who won over Doctor Cui.”
