She Can Also Be Gentle - Chapter 69
Chi Nuan checked Gu Ningzi’s itinerary the next day. She has a board of directors in Yunchu in the morning, and then will have lunch with two existing investors of Spider, and there will be project seminars in the company in the afternoon.
Chi Nuan searched for the address of the private dental hospital in Guanluo, and given the travel time with the company, the consultation could only be scheduled after 4:30.
In addition, He Zhen also sent a document with several pages, which listed Gu Ningzi’s living habits, dressing preferences, contact information of various people in various circles in daily communication, etc… No matter the details, it is all the content that Chi Nuan needs to be familiar with.
One by one, time was connected in series, and a strange and familiar Gu Ningzi was constructed in front of Chi Nuan’s eyes.
Chi Nuan watched it over and over again, and finally thanked He Zhen from the bottom of his heart.
He Zhen: “??”
He Zhen: “Assistant Chi, you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. It’s already more than 2 o’clock in the morning on your side. Pay attention to rest.”
Early the next morning, Chi Nuan made an appointment with Guan Luo for a dental visit in the name of Gu Ningzi. Guan Luo laughed when she heard Gu Ningzi’s name. After Chi Nuan finished speaking, she smiled and asked, “Who are you? Her assistant?”
Chi Nuan thought of the many zeros behind the monthly salary: “Yes.”
Guan Luo: “For such a cold person as an assistant, you should dress a lot every day, right?”
Chi Nuan: “…” What a cold joke.
After finalizing here, Chi Nuan sent the results to Gu Ningzi. Gu Ningzi called directly, her voice filled with doubts: “I fell asleep last night?”
Chi Nuan: “…Fell asleep.”
Gu Ningzi changed her question: “How long did you read that I fell asleep?”
Chi Nuan: “About ten minutes?”
Gu Ningzi: “…”
Gu Ningzi hung up the phone.
Chi Nuan was holding the phone with a dazed expression. After a few minutes, she sent another message to Gu Ningzi: “Do you need me to go to the dental clinic with you?”
Gu Ningzi did not reply.
Near noon, Mr. Ji came to pick up the little Wutong out to play. Chi Nuan took a ride on Mr. Ji to the bakery where he worked as a student.
The moment I stepped into the store, the phone rang, and Gu Ningzi replied: “Get to the company before 4 o’clock.”
Chi Nuan put away his phone, put on work clothes, and went to the kitchen to make cakes.
The proprietress was chatting with her next to her: “Is this the first few years? I’m so curious, Xiao Chi, who is the birthday party on January 1st?”
Chi Nuan wore a mask and curled his eyes.
The proprietress said “Huh”, is this year different from previous years? She saw Chi Nuan smiling.
…
It was only half past three when I arrived at the company late, and the seminar was not over yet. Across the glass wall of the conference room, Chi Nuan saw Gu Ningzi sitting in the main seat, holding her arms, her beautiful face without emotion.
I don’t know if the person working with Gu Ningzi will see her face distracted… Chi Nuan’s first reaction turned out to be this.
Secretary Yang made tea for Chi Nuan and asked her to wait a while. Chi Nuan thought he would have to wait a while, but he didn’t even start drinking the tea. Secretary Yang suddenly stood up from his desk: “Mr. Gu.”
Chi Nuan turned her head, Gu Ningzi stopped outside the secretary’s room, her tight-fitting skirt pinched her waist, her body line was very elegant.
Chi Nuan also stood up, and Gu Ningzi opened her red lips slightly: “Let’s go.”
Chi Nuan followed Gu Ningzi with the cake, and the two went down to the parking lot on the negative floor. Gu Ningzi was about to get into the driver’s seat and changed her mind temporarily. She threw the car keys to Chi Nuan, opened the rear door by herself and sat in.
Chi Nuan: “…” There is nothing wrong, this is indeed part of my work.
Chi Nuan got into the car, and while passing the cake to Gu Ningzi, she said nervously: “Gu Ningzi, fasten your seat belt…. After I got my driver’s license, I haven’t driven much.”
Gu Ningzi looked at the cake: “What is this?”
In the not very bright underground garage, Chi Nuan’s smile is like a fascinating silver moonlight: “Happy birthday, Gu Ningzi.”
It’s a pity that I have known you for so many years, but I haven’t spent any birthday with you.
Gu Ningzi glanced at Chi Nuan unexpectedly, took the cake, and put it aside: “Drive.”
Chi Nuan has studied the route and is already very familiar with it, but her unfamiliar driving skills still make her extremely frightened. Suddenly remembering the phone call in the morning, Chi Nuan asked Gu Ningzi distractedly: “You asked me about what I fell asleep last night—”
A car overtaking from the right side rushed to the front with a swish, and Chi Nuan was so scared that he braked to the end.
The car stopped abruptly in the middle of the road.
Gu Ningzi: “I think you’d better not be distracted now.”
Chi Nuan said with lingering fears: “You are right.”
He drove to the dental hospital without any risk, Chi Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to park in the designated parking space.
… But, it seems, it’s not going well.
A few minutes later, Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi in the rearview mirror. Gu Ningzi and her looked at each other in the mirror, calmly unlocked the safety buckle, and said, “Let me get out of the car first.”
Chi Nuan slammed on the brakes again.
Inertia made Gu Ningzi sway. She didn’t say anything. After getting off the car, she went straight to the hospital without waiting for Chi Wen.
…I don’t know how Gu Ningzi feels now, Chi Nuan guessed that she probably won’t feel much better than when she got in her car for the first time that year she met…
Chi Nuan stopped for ten minutes, and finally stopped in the prescribed area perfectly like a textbook. It’s just that when I step on the ground, my legs are a bit soft…
The doctor enthusiastically sent Chi Nuan to the rest area outside the Guanluo clinic. Gu Ningzi was sitting there, before the appointment time, the diagnosis and treatment of the previous customer had not ended.
Chi Nuan walked over, met Gu Ningzi’s gaze, and sat down beside her.
It’s still quite embarrassing. I can’t read financial reports well, and I didn’t drive the car well. With such a high monthly salary, I feel sorry for Gu Ningzi and feel ashamed…
The corners of Gu Ningzi’s mouth slowly rose.
Chi Nuan bit her lower lip, really a bit… embarrassed, flushed over her face uncontrollably.
Gu Ningzi looked away.
Chi Nuan sighed, and the next second, a woman groaned intermittently in the concealed clinic room, “Ah…uh…Doctor Guan, be lighter…”
“I’m already very gentle, no matter how light you are, you won’t feel it anymore.”
“Ah…you hate it!”
“I hate it? I wash your teeth personally. Who else has this kind of treatment?”
“…” Chi Nuan’s impression of Guan Luo added an indescribable subtlety after the cold joke.
After the female customer who came to wash her teeth left, Chi Nuan saw Guan Luo’s deity.
Inside the open white lab coat, there are a plaid shirt and ripped jeans showing the whole leg. The hair is not long or short, all tied behind her head. When she took off her mask and showed Gu Ningzi the newly released panoramic dental CT, the corners of her mouth were pouting. A smirk said: “Wait to move it?”
This smile made her look awkward.
Gu Ningzi leaned on the back of the chair, flicking her fingers on the tabletop.
Chi Nuan asked Guan Luo: “Doctor Guan, is it difficult to handle this kind of wisdom tooth?”
After Chi Nuan asked this sentence, Gu Ningzi turned her head slightly, revealing an unconscious listening posture.
Guan Luo said: “Her tooth, although it’s horrible, but luck, it didn’t touch the nerves, it was a minor operation. Just use a knife to gently cut the gums, drill a few times,’huh.’ The ~ can be pulled out. Come on, very fast, it will only take half an hour before and after the anesthesia…. Now I will do some swelling treatment, and I can pull out when the inflammation subsides. Anyway, I unconditionally cooperate with Mr. Gu’s time .”
Guan Luo rushed to Gu Ningzi and pointed to the treatment machine not far away.
“…” Chi Nuan said, “…Don’t scare her.”
Guan Luo said, “Why do you scare her? Mr. Gu is afraid? It’s you, Miss Assistant, instead of pulling your teeth. Why are you so pale? Worried?”
Chi Nuan: “…”
Guan Luo smiled and looked at Chi Nuan: “I heard your voice in the morning and guessed that you must be beautiful. People who speak softly are all beautiful, as I expected.”
“You go out first.” Gu Ningzi finished speaking to Chi Nuan, and got on the treatment machine: “Guan Luo, I have arrangements afterwards. Please cooperate with my time now.”
Guan Luo blinked at Chi Nuan and put on the mask again.
Chi Nuan sat back in the rest area, and after ten minutes, Gu Ningzi came out. Guan Luo stood at the entrance of the treatment room and made a drinking gesture to her: “I have time to have a drink.”
Gu Ningzi did not comment, and went back to the parking lot with Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan asked her what itinerary was planned next and where she was going. Gu Ningzi covered her left face to adjust the navigation and sat in the back seat.
Midway, Mr. Ji called and looked at the time on the dashboard in late warmth. It was close to six o’clock. She dared not drive with one hand, consulted Gu Ningzi’s advice, and pulled over to a stop.
Xiao Wutong’s excited voice hit Chi Nuan’s eardrums: “Mom, Mom, I just watched Transformers! It’s so cool! Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, croak, croak, so cool when deformed!”
It’s too loud. Chi Nuan couldn’t help but remove the phone from his ears. Mr. Ji’s deep and sweet laughter followed. He said to Chi Nuan: “Nuan Nuan, there are so many dishes you love to eat tonight. We are waiting for you to come. have dinner together.”
Chi Nuan hurried back: “No, I won’t go there.”
Little Indus: “Mom, are you still working?”
Chi Nuan: “Yes, you have to be obedient, and if your mother doesn’t go, you have to eat obediently.”
…
The car followed the navigation all the way to the east of Yuncheng, and when it drove unimpeded into the entrance of the garden-style villa engraved with the two archaic characters “Gu Zhai”, Chi Nuan realized that he might be at Gu Ningzi’s grandfather’s house now.
“If you drive away, I will contact you in advance if I have something to do.” Gu Ningzi finished speaking to Chi Nuan and opened the car door and went down.
“Gu…”
Chi Nuan’s gaze chased out from the back seat, and found that the box of cakes made by himself had been left on the seat.
…It doesn’t matter, it was the same before, she would eat the birthday cake for Gu Ningzi.
A sense of gap is emerging anytime and anywhere. Chi Nuan tells herself to get used to it. You will get used to it. Gu Ningzi just forgot.
Feeling bored, Chi Nuan reset the navigation. The route has not been planned yet. A crisp sound came from the back seat. Gu Ningzi opened the door, reached out, and took the cake away.
“…Gu Ningzi.” Chi Nuan chased off the car.
Gu Ningzi turned around.
Chi Nuan nodded her left cheek: “Eat less, your teeth.”
Gu Ningzi: “You drive more cars.”
Chi Nuan: “…”
Chi Nuan didn’t leave until Gu Ningzi’s figure disappeared behind the door.
In the next few days, Gu Ningzi did not contact Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan knew that she was busy at work, and Yun Chu was eaten by Spider. This is the largest domestic investment project that Gu Ningzi has handled so far, and it has attracted attention in the world.
Chi Nuan asked her if her gums were better, and she responded with a concise “um”.
Until the fifth night, Chi Nuan had fallen asleep, and the phone rang a message alert tone.
He Zhen sent Chi Nuan a screenshot of the chat log. In the record, Gu Ningzi sent her the bar location, followed by two words: Come pick up.
Chi Nuan understood, He Zhen made a voice call: “Assistant Chi, have you seen the screenshot of the message?”
“I got it, I’ll go now.” Chi Nuan put the phone between her ears, got out of bed, and reached for her clothes. He heard He Zhen muttering at the end: “Boss shouldn’t be drunk, right? She’s taking anti-inflammatory drugs. …”
He Zhen transferred the location to Chi Nuan, and Chi Nuan changed his clothes and went out before leaving to see him in Xiao Wutong’s room.
The little sycamore slept soundly.
Chi Nuan followed the location and went to the bar. He Zhen’s message popped up on the top of the screen: “Assistant Chi, you don’t need to worry, this type of unexpected situation rarely happens. ——I guess the weather in Yuncheng is bad now?”
He Zhen: “The BOSS has had a car accident with a leg injury, joint pain in wet and cold weather, and can’t drive the car.”
