Qin He was pulled out of the bar all the way.
Gu Qichen walked fast, with anger in his heart.
When they reached the bar entrance, Qin He stumbled.
Gu Qichen, who was furious, stopped his steps and slowed down.
After leaving the bar, Qin He pursed her lips and said, "Thank you for helping me today. I can go home myself."
Gu Qichen's face was stern. He pulled her to the car and opened the passenger door. "Get in."
Qin He frowned. "Gu Qichen, you helped me last time and this time. I won't hold grudges about the past. We are even. What right do you have—"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Qichen suddenly leaned over her, pinning her between the car and his arm.
The man's breath was suppressed. "Get in."
Qin He gritted her teeth. Was this scoundrel unreasonable!
Forget it, discretion is the better part of valor!
She angrily got into the passenger seat.
Gu Qichen closed the car door and sped away from the bar.
The night was quiet, and the scenery outside the window receded.
Qin He turned to look at him. In the dim car, Gu Qichen's deep eyes reflected the streetlights outside, flickering on and off.
They were both silent until the car stopped in front of the Qin family's gate.
Qin He mumbled a thank you and prepared to get out of the car.
The car door was locked. She turned to look at Gu Qichen. "Gu Qichen, open the door."
The man's face was gloomy. "Don't go to bars anymore."
Qin He's forehead twitched. "My business is none of your business."
Gu Qichen turned to look at her. "You're being harassed and I don't need to manage it? You are my—"
"Ex-wife." Qin He added, her eyes clear and cold. "What do you think you are, Mr. Gu? You still want to control others after divorce? Is this a man's pride at work?"
Gu Qichen's lips tightened, his pupils staring deeply at Qin He.
"Qin He, have you really forgotten everything?"
His voice was strangely low, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little quiet.
After a few seconds of silence, Qin He calmed down. "Gu Qichen, honestly, after I woke up from the car accident, hearing people talk about you and me was like listening to a story. I didn't feel like I was part of that story, but that doesn't change the fact that you are a scumbag who hurt me."
She knew that her amnesia was likely a psychological defense mechanism after the car accident.
To have the body activate such a mechanism, she must have suffered a lot in the past.
"I think it's good that I forgot. It doesn't affect my life. You saved my life before, and you helped me today."
Qin He gazed at Gu Qichen. "So I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. You are indeed a good partner, but one thing is, I hope you won't appear outside of work in the future."
Gu Qichen's thin lips moved slightly.
Qin He sighed softly. "I'm leaving. You should go to the hospital."
Gu Qichen watched Qin He get out of the car and suddenly said, "Why don't we get to know each other again?"
"No need." Qin He turned back and smiled. "I'm living very well. In fact, I can't understand why I liked you before. You are not my ideal type."
The Qin family's main gate opened automatically after recognizing her face.
Qin He walked in, and the gate closed behind her.
Gu Qichen sat in the car, the blood on his forehead already dried.
His deep eyebrows furrowed. He was not Qin He's ideal type, so what was her ideal type?
...
Qin Family.
It was late now. When Qin He arrived home, the housekeeper greeted her and said that Qin Yun had already rested and asked if Qin He wanted supper.
Qin He said no and went straight back to the second floor.
Back in her bedroom, she went to the balcony. From here, she could see a black car parked outside the gate of the manor.
Gu Qichen had not left yet.
Qin He's heart skipped a beat.
She said Gu Qichen was not her ideal type, but in fact, she found herself quite attracted to this type.
No wonder she suffered so much before.
Qin He sighed.
In front of the Qin family's gate, Gu Qichen, who rarely smoked, finished a cigarette.
His gaze was fixed on the Qin family's villa.
Until the lights in a room on the second floor lit up, then the curtains moved slightly, and a figure appeared on the balcony. From the silhouette, it could be seen that the person was looking this way.
Gu Qichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a moment later, the corners of his mouth curved up.
His exceptionally handsome face smiled like melting ice and snow, the revival of all things, so beautiful it was startling.
She said she didn't mind, but she did to some extent.
Gu Qichen's gloomy mood all evening improved.
Until the figure on the balcony returned to the room, Gu Qichen started the car and returned to Sen Garden.
As long as there was a loose thread, one could unravel it, bit by bit devouring the entire world at the other end of the thread.
Gu Qichen excelled in this in business warfare. He felt a strange flutter in his heart, but he also warned himself to be patient, very patient.
He also had to be careful not to scare the other party away.
This time, what was at the other end was a craving he had never had before.
Three days passed. Qin He took Qin Yun to Qin's every morning.
These days, she had been prescribing herself some Chinese medicine, mostly beneficial for the fetus.
After that day, Xu Wanwan called the next day and said that Yan Chen had sent her home. Yan Chen was very polite, and her parents were very happy.
They all thought that although the blind date didn't work out, they were actually doing well in private.
Qin He was a bit helpless. She told Xu Wanwan what happened that night and strictly ordered Xu Wanwan not to go to bars anymore.
Xu Wanwan made a lot of promises before she was let off.
...
Qin Group.
Qin He was reviewing documents and looked up at her brother sitting on the sofa not far away.
Then she looked at the pile of documents in front of her, and her mouth twitched.
"Brother, your legs are not good, but your brain still works, right? Why don't you look at some documents?"
Qin Yun was watching a ball game on his tablet and looked up. "If you beg me, I'll help you. How about it?"
Qin He gritted her teeth. "Have you forgotten that this is your work in the first place?"
Qin Yun covered his head. "Alas, when my sister scolds me, I get a little dizzy."
Zhou Yang, suppressing a smile, said to Qin He, "Young President Qin, the end of the month is the busiest time for the company. It will get better in a couple of days."
Qin Yun wanted to temper Qin He, so he let go.
Qin He was very angry. If Qin Yun could look at some documents, her workload would be significantly reduced, but now she had to spend a day at the company.
When she got off work in the evening, the tired Qin He and the energetic Qin Yun got into the car back to the Qin family.
After returning home, Qin He called Madam Qin to complain and inquired about her maternal grandparents' situation.
Knowing that her grandmother's health had improved a lot recently, Qin He felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Qin He's phone received a message.
Gu Qichen: Tomorrow is the weekend. Remember to attend the meeting at the Joint Department.
Qin He was always serious about work matters: Got it.
Gu Qichen: Be safe.
Qin He frowned. This "be safe" was clever. It seemed to overstep the boundaries, yet it also sounded polite. If it was polite, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Qin He was silent for a moment, then put away her phone without replying.
