Love at First Sight: Madam, don't try to escape

Chapter 177 Yao Tao's thoughts

Yao Tao looked listlessly at the design plan in her hand, her thoughts had already drifted away.

This weekend, in the past, she would go shopping with a few friends she just made, but today she is not in any mood.Originally, he wanted to numb himself with work, but he found that Ye Chen was always in his mind, and he couldn't calm down at all.

After all, Ye Chen hasn't come back for a week, and she hasn't seen him for a week, so she doesn't know if he's doing well now, is he busy with work?

Ever since what happened with Ji Xiaohan, she and Ye Chen have lost contact. No matter how much she calls Ye Chen, no one will answer her. She feels terrified and frightened, but more is still Deep powerlessness.

Even though things have become like this, she still has never regretted that she hired someone to kill Ji Xiaohan. She killed her senior brother, so she deserved to die, but unfortunately she didn't die.

While she was still thinking wildly, a person suddenly walked up to her.

"Miss Yao."

The sudden sound startled Yao Tao.

Li Xuan didn't expect that he would scare her, so he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Yao Tao, still in shock, exhaled lightly, and shook her head: "It's okay, I don't blame you, it's my own fault, you walked to my side, and I didn't even notice."

Annoyance flashed in her eyes, when did she become so slack, Li Xuan didn't even notice when she was so close.

"Secretary Li, are you here to see me?"

Li Xuan nodded: "Miss Yao, Mr. Gu asked me to tell you that the 25th of this month is Mr. Gu's [-]th birthday. I hope you will prepare a gift."

"Why didn't Ye Chen come and tell me in person?"

Yao Tao's heart was sad, and her eyes were full of loneliness.Does he hate himself?Why don't you come and tell her in person, doesn't he just want to see himself?
"Miss Yao, I'm just responsible for conveying the news for Mr. Gu. I don't know the specific reason."

"When will Ye Chen come back?"

"I don't know about this. I'm not in charge of Mr. Gu's itinerary this time."

What Li Xuan lied about was that his face was neither blushing nor out of breath, and he didn't see anything on his face. He was worthy of being a confidant of Gu Yechen for many years.

Yao Tao lowered her eyes in disappointment, and smiled bitterly.

Li Xuan is Ye Chen's confidant, how could he not know about his itinerary?It can only be said that Ye Chen didn't let him tell him.

"Miss Yao, I will leave first if there is still something to do in the company. If you have any questions, please call me."

"it is good."

Seeing Li Xuan's figure slowly walking away, Yao Tao suddenly wanted to follow. She always had a premonition in her heart that Ye Chen wasn't on a business trip at all, and he was still here, just avoiding her and not wanting to see her.

In the end, she still didn't follow, and could only watch Li Xuan's back disappear.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly remembered what Li Xuan said to her, old man Gu's [-]th birthday.

Mr. Gu, she knows about it, and she has understood it more or less. Although he is behind the scenes of retirement, he is still in charge of many things in the Gu family.This time Ye Chen asked her to prepare a gift, because he wanted to take her back to meet Mr. Gu?
Thinking of this, the gloomy and lost mood before disappeared in an instant.She knew that Ye Chen was unique to her, and she still couldn't bear to be angry with her, otherwise why would she take her back?She must prepare a gift, so that the old man will fall in love with her after seeing it.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything to give to the old man. A big family like the Gu family must have everything. The gift must be ingenious and reflect her intention and sincerity.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and if she remembered correctly, the old man liked calligraphy very much, especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Although she is not good at calligraphy and doesn't know much about it, she just knows who has Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in their hands.

There was a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, this time...she will definitely impress everyone.

In the evening, Yao Tao wore a small yellow dress, her curly hair was casually scattered behind her back, her face was painted with exquisite makeup, and she went out confidently.

The night in the bar is full of corruption and decadence, and all kinds of young people are dancing to the music on the dance floor.

Yao Tao, the moment she stepped into the bar, couldn't help frowning, and then relaxed it.

I found a relatively quiet place to sit down, and kept scanning the crowd in the bar, trying to find the familiar figure.

Yao Tao stayed in the bar for more than half an hour, but still didn't see Huo Ran, and wanted to leave.

Just when she was about to leave, a voice suddenly came into her eyes, which lit up instantly.

She sat back at the bar again, drinking the wine seemingly casually, but in fact, she was always observing from the corner of her eyes.About 10 minutes later, the figure finally walked in. This person was Huo Ran whom Yao Tao was looking for.

Originally Huo Ran was in charge of the night show, and he hardly showed up during the day, but last night he was delayed by something, Xu Wen helped him watch the night, and he came to watch the day.

When Huo Ran approached the bar, he saw Yao Tao sitting on the bar, Huo Ran looked at her suspiciously, wondering why she appeared in this place?
The moment he saw Yao Tao, he turned around and wanted to leave, but think about it, this is his territory, why did he leave?But he always felt that the way Yao Tao looked at him, as if he had fallen in love with a piece of meat, made him panic.

He walked slowly towards the bar, and after he walked in, Yao Tao also turned his head deliberately, and the moment he saw Huo Ran, he smiled and said hello: "Hi, long time no see, do you still remember me? "

"How could I not recognize you?" Huo Ran looked at her with a half-smile, but his eyes were cold.

"Come for a drink?" Yao Tao said.

Huo Ran shook his head and said, "No need, I have a bad stomach recently, so avoid alcohol."

She didn't force herself, took a sip of wine by herself, propped her head on one hand, and looked at Huo Ran who had already walked into the counter.

That look was like a dog looking at a bone, which made Huo Ran's whole body tremble uncontrollably, feeling like goosebumps were about to fall all over the floor.He didn't like this kind of feeling very much. He felt like he was being watched and might be divided up and eaten at any time.

Yao Tao stared at him for a long time, then slowly looked away, tried to find a topic and said, "Huo Ran, I haven't seen you for two years, the business of your bar seems to be much better than before?"

"So-so, it's passable." Huo Ran replied nonchalantly, but she was guessing in her heart what she wanted to do with her.

"I originally thought, to see if you are still here, but I didn't expect... I am so lucky, I have seen you since today." Yao Tao said nostalgicly, and looked at the bar with nostalgia in her eyes. environment.

"You came to see me today, what's the matter?" Huo Ran asked straight to the point, he was always straightforward, and he really didn't like her beating around the bush like this.

Seeing this, a hint of calculation flashed in Yao Tao's eyes, and she lay lazily on the bar counter, looking very bored, and said lazily: "You really know me, it's not like I have a friend who wants to live Well, I was thinking of giving him a birthday present, and it happens that you have something he likes."

Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Huo Ran's eyes, and he knew that she must have nothing good to do with him.Before he could ask what it was, Yao Tao spoke again.

"Huo Ran, do you like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?" After speaking, he took a sip of wine, but kept observing his every move.

"Wang Xizhi? He's one of my favorite calligraphers. Why don't you like it too?" He loves Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much, but it's expensive and out of stock, and he can't find a place to buy it even if he wants to.

"You have Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?" Yao Tao said in feigned surprise, her eyes glistened with gold.

Looking at Huo Ran with such eyes, he felt even more that he was being targeted, and he still had a vague bad feeling in his heart.

He didn't know why he felt this way, logically speaking, how could Yao Tao give him this feeling?Is it because you didn't sleep well last night?

"What?" Huo Ran asked tentatively.

Yao Tao smiled mysteriously, staring at Huo Ran with twinkling eyes and said flatteringly, "Huo Ran, can you sell me that pair of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?"

Hearing this, Huo Ran finally knew why he felt that way, feeling that his calligraphy was being targeted by others, and he also wondered what Yao Tao would do with Wang Xizhi's calligraphy?
First, based on what he knew about Yao Tao, it was impossible for her to collect it.Second, if it is not a collection, it is intended to be given away, and the recipient must be someone who likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much. According to his knowledge in this city, there are not many people who like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

Huo Ran knew all of them well, and the person Huo Ran was most familiar with was Gu Yechen's grandfather, Mrs. Gu.

At the beginning, he was able to successfully snatch the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi, but he still thought that Mrs. Gu had something to do that day, otherwise, with the financial resources of the Gu family, he really did not guarantee that he would be able to secure the calligraphy.

"Give it to you? Don't do it. How much effort has been spent on this calligraphy. I haven't warmed it up yet." Huo Ran directly refused.

Yao Tao didn't back down, if it was really that easy, she should have doubted whether the calligraphy was real.

"Huo Ran, just show mercy and give it to me. We can discuss how much money you want, right?" Yao Tao said flatteringly.

Huo Ran's attitude is still very firm: "No, don't say any more, I won't let you."
