Unforgettable first love: warmth stays in the left atrium

Chapter 19 Watching the Sunrise with Me

Like watching the sunrise that year, you led me through the fog, telling me that hope is at the end of the night
After the rainy day with Gu Yingning, Sheng Xia became lighter, like a swallow flying from the chilling north to the warm south.

As her immediate boss, Gu Zitang naturally noticed it, and teased her cheerfully:

"Xiao Xia, is there any happy event recently? The money I want to give you here has been prepared long ago."

Sheng Xia blushed slightly, picked up the report and replied, "Mr. Gu, please don't make fun of me."

In fact, Gu Yingning discussed with her and planned to get married in the spring of next year.

Jokes are jokes, and the business will not be delayed. Gu Zitang paused and said, "We have already laid the framework for the cooperation case with the Gu Group. This case has been decided early and you will be in charge. You must do your best."

Midsummer responded seriously.

"If we can cooperate well with Gu's Group this time, Pudi Industrial will definitely be able to open up a newer market in the future." Gu Zitang paused before waving his hands and muttering, "It's all right, you can go out first."

After returning to his seat, Sheng Xia only felt that his "pounding" heartbeat was still deafening.Working with Gu Zitang for so long, this is the first time that she is so bold and dare not show it, but she still has to put on her usual face.

Gu Yingning's words are still in my ears that day: "The phone call I had with Jiang Tan that day was actually about your boss, Gu Zitang. Midsummer, I always feel that Pei Jin's matter is by no means that simple. Perhaps, what he revealed Some of the details may be true, but we treat him as a lunatic."

If Pei Jin's case is really strange, then Gu Zitang, did he really do something shameful?
"I'm not worried about letting you continue to work for him. It's just that if you resign rashly right now, Gu Zitang might notice something instead. So Midsummer, you can go to work as usual for the time being, but remember to be careful in everything, and if anything goes wrong, immediately Call me, don't make any decisions in private, don't take any risks, okay?"

Gu Yingning is really used to being superior, she obviously cares about her very much, but still has such an uncompromising tone.But this time, Sheng Xia's heart was as sweet as drinking nectar and fairy dew.

As long as he expressed his concern, she would gladly accept no matter how many "not allowed".

The cooperation between Pudi Industrial and Gu's Group went smoothly, and a press conference was held not long after. Gu Zitang and Gu Yingning both signed the contract with smiles on their faces.

After the press conference, in the lounge, Gu Zitang patted Sheng Xia's shoulder and laughed heartily: "Xiao Xia, you have contributed a lot to this cooperation!"

Sheng Xia naturally smiled, and said modestly: "Mr. Gu has flattered me too much. The colleagues in the entire team have made great contributions."

Probably because "people are in good spirits on happy occasions", Gu Zitang was very satisfied after hearing Sheng Xia's words, and laughed loudly: "Xiao Xia, I admire you for this! You are not arrogant or impetuous, and you can endure hardships. Now you are like you There are not many young people left!"

While he was talking, Gu Yingning also pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in. After hearing the words, he said:

"Mr. Gu, if you praise her again, she will turn her tail up in front of me."

Gu Zitang clapped his hands and laughed, but Sheng Xia pouted slightly, and said in dissatisfaction: "How can you be like this..." Gu Yingning walked up to her, ignored her muttering, and wrapped her arms around her waist, ignoring that Gu Zitang was still on the sidelines , the next second she leaned over slightly and planted a kiss on Sheng Xia's lips.

Gu Zitang looked at the flushed midsummer and the tender-eyed Gu Yingning, and immediately said very consciously: "I'm going out, I'm going out, you guys continue, hahaha." When he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, let's go to the humble house for a drink together after everything is over, and you can't refuse." After speaking without any explanation, he opened the door and walked away.

However, Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia in the lounge were no longer in a stalemate mood.

"Just now, I asked Jiang Tan to leave the car keys and let him go first." Gu Yingning looked serious, "Today is the golden wedding day of Jiang Tan's grandfather and grandmother, so I have to let him go."

Sheng Xia understood what he was thinking, although he was anxious and uneasy in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, he just clasped his fingers with Gu Yingning, as if drawing warmth from each other's palms.She said softly: "Maybe, things will not be as we thought."

Even though she herself felt that the convincing power of these words was minimal, he nodded with a serious expression, then hugged her tightly into his arms, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm here , nothing will happen."

Since Gu Zitang had already told them the invitation that he could not refuse, after the press conference was completely over, Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia wanted to say that Sheng Xia was not feeling well, but Gu Zitang said with a smile that his sister Liu's head The massage is very well done.In this way, their refusal will only appear abrupt and abnormal.

In the evening in mid-January, although it was only before five o'clock, the sky was already dark.The car lights on the street are connected into chains one by one, shining brightly.Gu Zitang also seemed to let the driver leave first, and he drove the car himself, and the journey was smooth and uninterrupted.

About two years ago, Shengxia once visited Gu Zitang's villa.At that time, she came to pick up documents and came and went in a hurry, so she had a vague impression of Gu Zitang's villa. She only remembered that it was very big, and nothing else.

Not long after the car drove into the yard where the iron gate was slowly opened, Sheng Xia knew that his house had arrived.

Gu Zitang just parked the car casually in the yard, and greeted Shengxia and Gu Yingning loudly:

"This is a humble house. Although it's not as good as Mr. Gu's suburban villa, it can still be visited."

Gu Yingning naturally shirked and said: "Mr. Gu is really too modest, everyone knows that if the Jianglan villa is not rich, people can't even afford a brick."

Gu Zitang listened to it very well, and his smile seemed to be a little bit thicker.Sister Liu was already waiting at the door, and when the three of them approached, she hastily bowed to greet her, with a wide smile on her face, and said straightforwardly:
"Mr. Gu is back! Sir and Miss must be friends of Mr. Gu, please come in, please come in!"

I have been following Gu Zitang for decades, and Sister Liu is also a sharp-eyed person with excellent eyesight. She followed Shengxia into the door and said enthusiastically as she walked, "This should be Miss Sheng, right? It must be great to be able to work under Mr. Gu." He is capable and looks so good, he is really a blessed person!"

No one likes compliments, even though she was extremely nervous and vigilant, Sheng Xia smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Sister Liu is really good at coaxing people."

Gu Zitang took them to the study on the first floor, and asked Sister Liu to gather a table of good dishes, then walked to the cupboard behind the desk, and said loudly with a smile: "Mr. Gu, Xiao Xia, you are lucky." He took out a bottle of red wine and three goblets, sat down at the reception table with Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia, and said proudly: "This bottle of 82-year-old Lafite was sent over by my Fa Xiaogang the day before yesterday. Yes, I’m so happy today, for our cooperation case, I opened it to share the grand occasion with you!”

Gu Yingning bent his lips into a smile, held one hand with Sheng Xia, and said calmly: "Mr. Gu is really polite, and Sheng Xia and I will definitely invite you to a banquet some other day." Sheng Xia sat beside him without speaking, but just smiled at Gu Zitang you.

After hearing this, Gu Zitang naturally clapped his hands more happily, pouring wine, and said with great joy:

"It's easy to talk about, I will never refuse some food and drink."

Picking up two wine glasses, giving one to Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia, and then raising it high by himself, Gu Zitang laughed loudly like Hong Zhong, and said, "Come on! Cheers to our future cooperation!"

He said that he had already done it first.

Although red wine should be savored carefully, how can it be drunk like Gu Zitang, but since the master has spoken, how can the guest not obey?Of course, Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia could only toast and drink.

After several glasses of wine in succession, Gu Yingning was alright, but Sheng Xia was already slightly intoxicated. She lightly stroked her forehead with her hand, and involuntarily leaned her head against Gu Yingning's shoulder.He looked back at her, and put the back of his hand on her forehead, but there was her familiar concern in his light tone: "If you can't drink, don't drink any more, your health is important." Gu Yingning took the wine glass from Sheng Xia's hand, and walked away from her. Put it in the middle of the reception table.

Gu Zitang watched their interaction carefully from the opposite side, gently shaking the dry red liquid in the goblet, and laughed jokingly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Gu, who should be said to be able to 'call the wind and call the rain', would be so devoted to midsummer." Enjoy."

Gu Yingning slightly loosened the neckline for Sheng Xia, and lowered her shoulders slightly so that she could lean on more comfortably.He and Shengxia still clasped their fingers together, he spoke without hesitation, his voice was low and clear: "I am deeply in love, and I will never change my mind." Raising her head and meeting Gu Zitang's eyes, Gu Yingning continued to say: "If someone wants to hurt her, even if the jade is destroyed I will take good care of her."

When he said these words, a brilliance of calmness and self-prestige flowed quietly, which made Gu Zitang feel a chill down his spine in an instant, as if a shocking murderous aura rushed towards his face, and he was killed with a few "shuashua" He doesn't leave a piece of armor behind.

He held his breath for a few seconds, and then Gu Zitang came back to his senses, his complexion slowly recovered and he laughed again and again, and praised repeatedly: "Good! Well said! We are both men, and Gu admires you! Come on, let's put This cup is done too!"

Gu Yingning just took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Gu, drinking is a matter of a little bit. Isn't there a table of good food? If you drink too much, how can you taste Mr. Gu's heart?"

Gu Zitang paused for a moment, then slapped his thigh, and laughed loudly: "This statement is reasonable, reasonable!
Alright, then I've listened to you, let's have a taste of it. "

At this moment, the door of the study room was knocked lightly three times, Gu Zitang shouted "Come in", Sister Liu stood by the door with a smile, and said respectfully: "Mr. Gu, the food is ready, you Do you want to move to the restaurant now?"

Gu Zitang nodded with a "huh", stood up and raised his head to Gu Yingning and asked, "Now we have dinner, Mr. Gu, can I see if it's okay?"

Gu Yingning looked down at Sheng Xia who seemed to have faded a little from the blush beside her, and replied, "Of course it's disrespectful."

This meal was enjoyed by the guests of honor, but the "joy" was such that Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia didn't know anything after the meal.

Feeling as if her body was being run over by a big truck, Gu Yingning woke up with a splitting headache, and when she opened her eyes, everything in front of her was dim.Gu Yingning vaguely felt that she seemed to be in a closed space, struggling to sit up, but suddenly found that her hands and feet were bound.

When the previous worry really became a reality, Gu Yingning was subconsciously startled, the calmness of the past had long since disappeared, and he shouted in horror: "Midsummer! Midsummer, can you hear me!"

There was no response.

His heart was already on fire, but the last sliver of reason told him to calm down.He is not afraid of being in danger, the only thing he fears is that he cannot protect her.

Gu Yingning tried her best to move forward, wanting to lean against a wall so that she could find a way to untie her hands and feet first.Her eyes gradually got used to such a dark and gloomy surrounding, and through the light coming in from a few tiny cracks on the roof, Gu Yingning suddenly saw a very familiar figure lying obliquely in front of her.His heartbeat accelerated violently, he moved over without hesitation, raised his elbow with difficulty, and while trying to push and shake, he shouted anxiously: "Midsummer!
midsummer!Wake up quickly! "

He didn't know how long it had passed, maybe it was only a few minutes, but to Gu Yingning, it seemed as long as a century, and he had never been so panic-stricken—if she didn't wake up, even if he went out, he would still be there. What's the point?
Gu Yingning didn't even dare to blink, and stared at Sheng Xia with all her strength, for fear of missing even a rise and fall of her chest.Finally, when Gu Yingning heard her groaning with a hint of discomfort in her ear, she heard her ecstasy like a stormy wave hitting hard, her whole body went numb, and she had nowhere to escape.

"Midsummer, can you hear me?"

The mind was extremely chaotic, dizzy, and Sheng Xia vaguely heard a familiar voice sounding like it was far away and seemed to be approaching.Before he could open his mouth in the future, Gu Yingning, who was already on the sidelines, couldn't help but shouted again: "Sheng Xia, I'm talking to you, you must answer!"

His commanding tone and already trembling voice could be heard very clearly by Midsummer, who was gradually waking up.She struggled to move, and she said angrily, "Gu Yingning, you are very annoying."

In fact, what she said was not important at all, the important thing was that she woke up—she was okay, that was his biggest prayer at the moment.

He laughed instead, the big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground, Gu Yingning let out a long breath, and replied in a low voice: "Well, I know."

"Yingning...are we still in his way?" She said this quietly, unable to tell whether it was a panic or a resignation that had been expected.

But how could Gu Yingning not know that she was already panicked to the extreme.Trying to prop himself up slightly, he looked at her unclear face below him, suppressed the uneasiness and uncertainty that also existed in his heart, calmed down, and tried his best to calmly say in the most soothing voice: "We will be fine. ,Believe me."

After a pause, he said, "Stretch out your hand, and I will untie the rope for you."

Sure enough, it was a thick hemp rope, but it was not a dead knot.Although it wasn't easy, Gu Yingning bit off the knot a few times, and finally helped Shengxia untie the knot on her wrist.Both arms finally belonged to her again, Sheng Xia twisted her wrist with some pain, and quickly untied Gu Yingning.

However, they didn't feel the slightest bit of joy in their hearts because they were untied. On the contrary, they became more and more heavy: If Gu Zitang was so reassuring and only tied them a slipknot, it could only mean one thing—he was sure that they couldn't do anything about it. go out.

After a brief silence, Gu Yingning spoke first: "I have sent a text message to Jiang Tan before the press conference is over. If I don't send him another message by twelve o'clock in the evening, I will call the police. The only suspect is Gu Zitang."

Gu Zitang did this very cleverly. He cleared away almost all the insiders who should have been there. In the end, only the three of them were able to testify to each other and came to Jianglan Villa together.

Therefore, Sheng Xia wondered: "Will the police believe you just based on your text message?"

Gu Yingning pursed her lips, and said in a low voice after two or three seconds: "Actually, I have been quietly investigating this matter a while ago, and I wanted to follow Pei Jin's interpersonal relationships before his death, but I thought maybe I didn't try to scare the snake away. Who knows..." In the dim light, he and she sat on the ground, Gu Yingning held Sheng Xia tightly in her arms, and said, "Jiang Tan will hand over all the evidence to the police, I believe they will definitely They are doing everything they can to save us."

The mobile phone on her body has long since disappeared, and Gu Zitang seems to have removed Gu Yingning's watch.Looking up at the few rays of sunlight projected from the cracks on the top, the dust was flying wantonly under the sunlight, Sheng Xia murmured: "It should have been overnight... I don't know where we are."

Gu Yingning stood up suddenly, let Sheng Xia still sit where she was, and walked around the wall by herself, tapping gently while groping.After walking around, I found out that the secret room was bigger than imagined.

"Except for that door, the rest are solid walls. It seems that it is impossible to find a breakthrough from the wall." Back beside Sheng Xia, Gu Yingning's eyes were extremely dark in the backlight that she couldn't see.

The secret room is estimated to be three to four meters high, not to mention exploration, even the possibility of successfully climbing to the top of the room is extremely small.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he hesitated for a while and said: "Shengxia, I didn't feel any lock on that door, so there is only one possibility left." Gu Yingning was silent for a moment, if he could, he would never give her a lock. Adding a little bit of straw may crush her psychological defense line, "It is locked outside, and it is a combination lock controlled by high technology, or it may have to be fingerprinted by Gu Zitang."

silent.

Except for each other's breathing, neither he nor she said a word.

After a long time, Sheng Xia finally opened his mouth, his voice was very soft and low, he was obviously trembling but he suppressed a dry smile: "Jiang Tan will let the police come to rescue us, won't he?"

Gu Yingning responded seriously, and said: "I will." Then he held her tightly with one hand, and took her into his arms with the other arm. He placed a kiss on Sheng Xia's forehead, and tried hard to kiss her with his own body temperature. Warm her: "Don't think about it, take a break and save more energy."

Forcibly suppressing the anxiety that still existed in her heart, Gu Yingning told herself that as a right-hand man who had been cultivated by him for so long, Jiang Tan would definitely not let herself down.
