The lighting in the office was excellent. When Qiao Mo looked at him, the light passed over his shoulders and seemed to come directly from his body. It was breathtaking.

Half of his face was blurry in the warm sun, but the other half was extraordinarily three-dimensional in the dark. Even the seductive smile on his lips made her fall into a trance.

Qiao Mo blinked. Hearing his cold voice close by, he said, "With our relationship, what do you think?"

Relationship?

What relationship?

Qiao Mo fell into a trance again. She looked down at the keyboard and subconsciously typed on the mouse. She pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Or rather, she didn't dare to answer.

Looking at her furry head, Gu Qingsheng stopped "seducing" her. He walked to the sofa and picked up his jacket. "Didn't we agree?

Let's go home. "

Go home?

"Oh."

As Qiao Mo stood up, she recalled his words in her mind. It was so natural, as if she had drifted with time for a long time.

It had a familiar feeling.

She hitched a ride with her boss again. Qiao Mo lowered the windows halfway. The cold wind blew and she prepared to clear her head.

When the car stopped, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Her movements were smooth, but as soon as she got out of the car, she was stunned.

She had been so distracted in the car that she thought she would be home after the car stopped. But when she looked up, she realized that they were standing in front of a private club.

President, you're not honest. Didn't you say you were going home?

Gu Qingsheng had his jacket hanging on his arm. He walked to her side and said, "It's a little late. Want to have dinner together?"

Was there a place to ask?

Qiao Mo felt helpless in her heart.

Although they weren't strangers, they weren't very close either.

Thinking back to the awkward ending of their last dinner, Qiao Mo bit her lip and hesitated for a long time.

Gu Qingsheng waited quietly by the side. He had the aura of someone who had the overall situation under control.

In the end, of course, Qiao Mo compromised. She was already standing at the door with her boss. Did she have the guts to go back with him?

Even if Qiao Mo had someone backing him up, he could not disrespect the big boss. More importantly, he could not afford to do so.

As soon as he entered the clubhouse, someone immediately came forward to greet him. "Boss Gu, you haven't been here for a long time. Why didn't you call in advance so that the kitchen could prepare first?"

"Yes, it was decided at the last minute. Are there any seats available?"

The lobby manager bowed slightly with his hands clasped in front of him. He looked very respectful as he replied, "Of course there is. It's where you're used to sitting."

"Well, replace the braised fish with the clear broth. Keep the rest as usual."

"Alright, please take a seat with your friend and wait for a moment."

When the manager left, he smiled at Qiao Mo politely and gently, which made Qiao Mo like this place immediately.

Gu Qingsheng nodded slightly, then looked back at Qiao Mo, who was curiously sizing up the club, and said, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Qiao Mo was the most protected member of the Qiao family. She had almost never appeared in any business activities, so very few people could recognize her. At most, they could tell that she had a certain background based on her clothes.

Ever since she was young, Qiao Mo had been the most free person in the family.

At that time, Qiao Mei insisted on becoming an actress and had a huge argument with her family. In the end, she broke off all ties with her family and left with nothing. However, with her own persistence, she managed to make a name for herself. In recent years, her relationship with her family had improved a lot.

In the past year, Qiao Mei had started to dabble in fashion design. Soon after, she had her own brand, which was what her parents wanted. However, Qiao Mei's career was on the rise and she only returned home a few times a year. Thus, she had drifted apart from her parents.

Sitting on the soft leather chair, Qiao Mo watched as Gu Qingsheng leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He looked a little tired.

Qiao Mo wanted to show her concern, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know how to address him. In the end, she could only watch as he rubbed his temples with his fingers for five minutes.

Perhaps it was because everything was prepared. In ten minutes, five dishes and one soup were served. When the last dish was served, Gu Qingsheng stopped the waiter and said, "Pack a pineapple cake and strawberries with rock candy."

Qiao Mo glanced at him and said, "I can't finish all of this."

After the waiter left, Gu Qingsheng placed a bowl of fish soup in front of her and said, "The desserts here are pretty good. If you can't finish them, you can save them for breakfast tomorrow."

"…" Boss, you're being too nosy. You've already arranged breakfast for me tomorrow.

"Also, help me look after the computer at home after breakfast."

So it wasn't for free.

However, after that, Qiao Mo ate with a clear conscience.

She wasn't taking advantage of the boss for free. Since it was paid for, she didn't mind that the boss arranged breakfast for her.

This time, Gu Qingsheng finished eating early again and watched her quietly from the side.

When Qiao Mo was finally willing to put down her chopsticks, Gu Qingsheng packed the desserts for her and placed them in the backseat of the car.

In the car, Gu Qingsheng turned on some gentle music. When they were waiting for a red light, he spoke to her. "How's the food?"

Qiao Mo touched her temples and smiled. "It's very good.

The environment is very good, and it's very private. The service is also very good. Even if the food isn't the best, I'm willing to come again next time. "

Gu Qingsheng laughed so softly that it was almost inaudible. He smiled and said, "Okay, come again when you're free."

"…" Are you talking about me or you?

Qiao Mo secretly complained in her heart. She was accidentally teased by the CEO again. Then, she chose to lower her head and obediently close her eyes to rest.

When they arrived at the door, Qiao Mo instinctively walked in the direction of her house. Gu Qingsheng quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go to my house."

His tone was so serious that Qiao Mo's little heart trembled. Then, she remembered that she had promised to help him repair his computer. She turned around and stood beside him, waiting for him to open the door.

Seeing her standing obediently at the door, Gu Qingsheng's eyes lit up with a hint of a smile. He recalled holding her slender wrist and her delicate skin just now. It was a touch unique to women.

After opening the door, he found a pair of slippers for his mother in the shoe cabinet for her. He thought that she wouldn't like this color, so he said, "I prepared these for my mother. You can make do with them for now."

Qiao Mo glanced at the light gray slippers. She thought of the matching colored bunny slippers at home and felt a little embarrassed that her bottom was exposed. She said, "They're very comfortable."

Of course, it was a polite reply that didn't need to be answered. Gu Qingsheng placed the dessert in his hand on the cabinet by the door and reminded her, "Don't forget to take them when you leave."

After changing into the slippers, Qiao Mo straightened her body and replied, "Okay."

Then, she looked up and realized that he was more than a head taller than her. Qiao Mo, who had exposed her true height, covered her face.

Seeing her suddenly blush, Gu Qingsheng was amused. He also changed into his slippers and walked into the study. The smile in his eyes didn't disappear for a long time.

He tried to turn on the computer again, but the screen went black. He called out to her, "Qiao Mo, come here."

Qiao Mo, who was still standing there and dawdling, immediately ran into the study.

Gu Qingsheng stood up to make room for her as he explained, "The house here has been empty for a long time. The computer has been idle for a long time. Last night, the screen suddenly went black and can't be restarted."

To avoid being suppressed by his height, Qiao Mo sat in front of the computer from the other side and tried to turn it on. There was no response.

Then, she suddenly looked up and asked softly, "Can you give me a glass of water?"

He was a little surprised, but Gu Qingsheng still smiled gently and said, "Sure."

Qiao Mo walked to the door and said, "Sorry, I want to drink warm water."

"Okay."

He boiled a new pot of water for her and mixed it with cold water.

When he brought it in, he thought that she would be sitting in front of the computer, her fingers nimbly tapping on the keyboard. When she heard him come in, she would politely say, "Thank you."

But the reality was unexpected.

Qiao Mo stood by the bookshelf and carefully looked at the neatly arranged books. Every book was like a dictionary. It was terrifying to look at.

This was not where he had always lived. The books here were all medical books that his father liked to read. When she heard him come in, she turned and smiled. "Your parents are doctors?"

She had a pair of beautiful eyes that were curved into crescents. Her obedient appearance was very likable. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, my father is a Chinese doctor."

She nodded and took the water. "Thank you." She took a sip and said, "The computer is fixed, but I still recommend that you change the hard drive."

He was surprised again, but his voice was indifferent. "Yes." After a pause, he said, "Thank you."

"I'm a salaried worker. Take a look and see if there are any other questions."

"No need, I'll knock on your door if there are any."

Qiao Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "Yes, you're welcome."

"But you're very fast." Gu Qingsheng praised from the bottom of his heart.

Qiao Mo walked out, and Gu Qingsheng followed behind her. He watched as her slender back merged with his under the light.

He heard her say teasingly, "When I was in America, I often helped China's students to fix their computers. The problems were much more troublesome than yours."

Gu Qingsheng laughed along.

It was only when she walked into the living room that Qiao Mo noticed the words hanging on the wall behind the TV. There was a total of eight words: "Reeds and reeds are green, white dew is frost." The strokes were cold and hard, with a unique style.

"It wasn't there last time."

Looking at the words on the wall, Gu Qingsheng replied gently, but his tone did not hide his admiration. "It was only put up recently. My family likes this master's calligraphy very much. My father even used his calligraphy to warn me that 'the words must be square, but the person must also be brave and courageous.'"

Qiao Mo looked at the red signature. It was the familiar name "Wei Shi." She muttered to herself, "What a coincidence."

Her muttering was so soft that Gu Qingsheng did not hear it clearly. He asked, "What?"

"Nothing. I also like this calligraphy master."

"He's in the city. When you're free, let's visit him together."

"Huh?" Qiao Mo was shocked and could only nod. "Okay."

The words were still lingering in his throat when Gu Qingsheng's phone rang. Qiao Mo immediately said, "Answer the call. I'll go back first."

"Okay, don't forget the dessert at the door."

"Okay."

When he got home, Qiao Mo put the dessert in his hand on the coffee table in the living room and curled up on the sofa to rest for a while. Seeing that Jiuyue had fallen asleep on the rocking chair on the balcony, he quietly went back to his room to change out of his black and white suit.

When Gu Qingsheng answered the call, Lian Cheng asked cautiously, "Boss Gu, are you asleep?"

He walked into the bedroom with his phone and opened the wardrobe as he said, "Get ready to take a shower. You have five minutes."

"Enough, enough. It's about Qiao Mo."

Gu Qingsheng's hand paused in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt. He said softly, "Okay," and gestured for him to continue.

Lian Cheng immediately told him the whole story in rapid succession. He described Wu Yue as an unforgivable evil. In the end, he said, "Momo is a little flower. I only admire her from afar. I don't dare to disrespect her …"

"Don't interfere in her business in the future."

"But … Hello …" Lian Cheng was hung up. "…"

Gu Qingsheng put the phone on the bedside table and frowned. They had been together for a long time, but she did not seem unhappy at all.

He changed into casual clothes and immediately went to knock on Qiao Mo's door.

Qiao Mo was changing when he heard the knock on the door. He shouted, "Wait a minute."

He also woke up Jiuyue. The cat stretched her body and jumped off the rocking chair with light steps. She sat at the door and meowed a few times.

Gu Qingsheng heard her and waited at the door for a while.

Qiao Mo opened the door as he adjusted his clothes. When he saw Gu Qingsheng, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's about your dismissal."
