Chapter 382: Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Chen left Jiang He’s villa. When he reached the entrance of the villa, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stood there for a few seconds, then turned around to look at the villa that was still lit up behind him.
The light was too bright, and he had just come out of it. He knew that the villa was decorated warmly, and he also knew that there were many food and soft beds in the villa, as well as someone who really cared about him. This was a very qualified shelter.
He could enter this shelter at will, but Gu Xiao… had never had such a shelter.
Ji Chen took a deep look at the villa behind him, his eyes deep.
He looked at it for a while and blinked. Then, he turned around and walked out firmly.
A University had eight days of vacation, but the Mid-Autumn Festival was only on the second day. Therefore, on the first day of the holiday, Gu Xiao and Chu An did not choose to return to the Chu family. Instead, they returned to the villa where they were alone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGu Xiao and Chu An had already prepared the gifts for the Chu family yesterday, so the two of them stayed in the villa with nothing to do today, unwilling to go anywhere.
Not long after they had lunch, Gu Xiao received a call from Ji Chen.
“Brother?” Gu Xiao called the person on the other end of the phone.
Ji Chen hummed softly, but did not take the initiative to speak again. It seemed that even he himself did not know how to say what he wanted to say, or rather, he himself was in a difficult position.
After a while, Ji Chen’s slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, “Xiaoxiao, do you have time today to come out?”
Gu Xiao did not know what kind of expression Ji Chen had at this moment, but from his voice and tone, she could clearly tell that something was wrong with Ji Chen’s emotions.
Unknowingly, Chu An had already sat up straight, and his originally lazy expression had also been restrained by him.
When he met Gu Xiao’s gaze, Chu An nodded imperceptibly.
After receiving Chu An’s reply, she turned around and said to Ji Chen on the other end of the phone, “Okay, brother, where shall we meet?”
“I’ll send you the time and place later.”
Ji Chen chatted briefly with Gu Xiao before hanging up the phone.
After a while, Gu Xiao received the address and time from Ji Chen.
Chu An moved a little closer to Gu Xiao. He stretched his head out and glanced at the address on Gu Xiao’s phone. This address was not far from their villa. It would only take less than half an hour if there was no traffic jam.
Moreover, the taste of this restaurant was not bad. It was the type of food that Gu Xiao preferred.
When Gu Xiao and Chu An didn’t want to cook, they would go to this restaurant to eat. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, they spent a lot of their time having meals in this restaurant.
For Ji Chen to choose this restaurant, it seemed that he had really understood Gu Xiao.
Chu An retracted his head and said calmly, “Shall 1 send you over later?”
Just by listening to Ji Chen’s voice, he could guess that Ji Chen wanted to meet Gu Xiao alone this time. In the past, when Ji Chen asked Gu Xiao out, he would ask him or ask Gu Xiao to bring him directly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis time… Ji Chen did not even mention him. Something bad must have happened around Ji Chen, otherwise Ji Chen would not have forgotten about him.
Gu Xiao naturally understood what Chu An could think of.
Recalling Ji Chen’s tone just now, her eyes darkened slightly. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes slightly.
“Alright, you can send me there later.”
After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An’s body softened again, and he leaned against Gu Xiao weakly.
His fingers wrapped around Gu Xiao’s soft hair bit by bit. When he felt the smoothness between his fingers, his heart itched. However, he glanced at Gu Xiao, who had a solemn expression, and Chu An still suppressed the feelings in his heart.
“You don’t have to worry too much. There shouldn’t be too much of a problem with Brother Chen.”
Because of Jiang He’s existence, the Ji Group would not attack Ji Chen again, at least not openly and brazenly.
After all, Old Master Ji and Ji Gao knew very well that even if Jiang He had placed all her attention on her small company for so many years, Jiang He still knew more about the internal affairs of the Ji Group than anyone else.
As long as this piece of news was leaked by Jiang He, it would easily bring a considerable disaster to the Ji Group.
After all, although the Ji Group was already considered the leader of the industry, it did not mean that the Ji Group had no opponents. They had to be careful..
