Chapter 21: Ambiguity, between them, a glance and a smile.

  In the VIP room of the Burton Hotel.

  Nian Qing had been quiet, thinking, until Gu Qinghe and Qu Nang brought up the matter of that old house. She lightly chimed in, "I think the location of that house is quite good, very suitable for retirement, I wonder why the owner wants to mortgage it?"

  Gu Qingheng turned to look at Nian Qing, his eyes narrowing, saying nothing.

  "What, you're interested in real estate? If you really are, you can ask Qingheng for advice. He's an expert in this field and with his guidance, you'll definitely make a profit." Qu Nian said jokingly. As she spoke, she raised her wine glass and clinked it against Qingheng's, smiling as she toasted him.

  Ambiguous, between them, they exchanged flirtatious glances.

  Ning Qing pretended not to see and waved her hand, saying: "No, I'm just curious. That house has been there since my high school days, but I don't know who the owner is."

  "An old man who has lost his partner and is now alone. His wife was ill in the hospital for half a year, passed away last month, they had no money and were unable to repay the bank loan, so we had to put up his house for auction. As it happens, Qing Heng had been eyeing this house and bought it at a high price, after repaying our bank loan, the old man should still have some leftover money, enough for him to spend."

  "Doesn't he have any children?"

  Guan Nan smiled and looked at Nian Qing, propping up his cheek with his hand: "No, his wife can't have children, it's just the two of them."

  A mouthful of clear broth, and all appetite is lost; in my heart, a bitter smile.

  What Luochuan said to her, which sentence was true and which sentence was false, she couldn't tell.

  After dinner, Qing proposed going back by herself.

  She figured it out, the relationship between Qu Nian and Gu Qingheng was not simple at all. She didn't want to be a third wheel for them. Besides, she was Meng Zi's sister and had an ambiguous relationship with Gu Qingheng, which would only lead to trouble.

  "It's so late, it's not safe for a girl like you to be alone. Let Qing Heng send you back." Qu Nan pushed Gu Qing Heng towards Nian Qing and got on the business car: "I still have work later, I'll leave first."

  After Gu Nan left, Nian Qing looked at Gu Qing Heng who had furrowed his brow and said: "I can go back by myself."

  "Get in." Gu Qingheng didn't say much, directly opening the passenger door, his eyes gazing over faintly.

  Nian Qing got on the bus, actually, she wanted to sit in the back seat...

  All the way, Nian Qing was thinking about how to bring up the topic of insurance with Gu Qingheng.

  "How did you end up with Gu Nan today?" Gu Qingheng suddenly asked.

  "I met her at the entrance of our unit." Nian Qing said calmly.

  Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow: "She went to your company?"

  She nodded and said, "She's discussing business cooperation with our leader."

  Gu Qing's eyes were deep and he didn't say anything else. All the way to Nian Qing's apartment building, he slowly opened his mouth: "To be on the safe side, I've thought about it and won't be insuring with your company for now."

  Suddenly calm and peaceful, I settled down...
