Chapter 1070: Chapter 67: Relationship Misunderstandings

Poor Go Biqing could never have imagined that Murong Qing was only pretending just now. As soon as Go Biqing finished speaking, Murong Qing immediately said, "Then you’re not allowed to eat dinner tonight, wait for me to come and eat together. I have something to do, so I’m leaving first."

After speaking, Murong Qing grabbed the bag of clothes on the bed, turned, and ran out happily. Watching Murong Qing, who was clearly very joyful, Go Biqing realized he had been played; Murong Qing was not angry at all earlier.

With a bitter smile and a shake of the head, Go Biqing could only accept it. These days, Murong Qing’s behavior towards him was becoming more obvious. Anyone who knew the inside story would immediately see that Murong Qing was obviously chasing him in reverse.

Now, upon careful reflection, Go Biqing realized that Murong Qing probably had some interest in him. In the past, when he worked in the student council, he often "accidentally" ran into Murong Qing.

Thinking back now, those encounters really seemed suspicious. Could it be that Murong Qing arranged them on purpose? If so, then his suspicions were all true, and Go Biqing didn’t know how to face Murong Qing anymore. Even though he was roughly 80% sure that those encounters and the discussions about the student council and work were arranged, he was still unwilling to believe it, as this would add more pressure to him.

After Murong Qing left, she got in the car and drove away. However, she didn’t notice Li Mei standing in a corner of the first floor of the company, seeing Murong Qing run out joyfully and Go Biqing’s bitter smile.

It’s particularly worth noting that Li Mei noticed the change in Murong Qing’s attire. Earlier in the morning, she was wearing a pink dress, but now at noon, it had changed to light gray. This was really strange. And maybe Murong Qing was careless, as a bit of the pink color from the bag she carried became visible. After seeing this, the questions in Li Mei’s mind grew. Go Biqing had just come in carrying the same black bag, and now Murong Qing took it out again, wearing different clothes from the morning. If she had gone home to change, it would make sense, but the clothes she wore in the morning were clearly in that bag.

Li Mei couldn’t control her next guesses; changing clothes in Go Biqing’s room begs the question of why change them. It can only be because the clothes got torn or dirtied. If it was about getting dirtied while eating, there was really no need to change clothes; therefore, it could only be because... it got dirtied, though tearing seems unlikely.

Go Biqing and Murong Qing were unaware that they had already become a couple with a very close relationship in Li Mei’s mind.

In the afternoon, Go Biqing was slightly busier than in the morning. Since it was already June, employees were drinking more water, so he often had to change water and handle some other trifles. But overall, the work wasn’t tiring at all, so Go Biqing began observing and listening to how others worked, watching and listening more, speaking less.

By five in the afternoon, most employees had already left work, and even those who had to work the night shift went out to eat. There were hardly any people left in the company. Go Biqing wasn’t very hungry, but even if he were, he couldn’t go to eat because Murong Qing’s words at noon were obviously a threat; Go Biqing had to obey, whether he wanted to or not.

Thinking that Murong Qing was about to come soon, Go Biqing started to feel a headache. Right now, he didn’t dare speak harshly to Murong Qing. But if things continued this way, it wouldn’t be long until Murong Qing might confess her feelings actively. What would Go Biqing do then?

Suddenly, the phone rang. Go Biqing saw it was Sun Yan’s home number. When he picked up, he heard Gwen calling him on the phone. Temporarily putting aside Murong Qing, Go Biqing immediately started talking with Gwen.

After a while, Go Biqing agreed to a pile of "unequal treaties." The first one was that Gwen seemed to say she got first place in some painting competition and should be rewarded. But Go Biqing only had a few hundred yuan at hand, so although he agreed verbally, he felt really unsure. Later, Gwen said her sister White promised her that if she got first place in painting, she would take her to the amusement park. Naturally, Gwen told Sun Yan about this outing proposal, and Sun Yan didn’t object after confirming it. But she had work commitments that weekend, so Gwen and her sister White would go alone; still, Gwen thought of her brother and asked Go Biqing to go too. Although Go Biqing initially wanted to refuse, he couldn’t resist Gwen’s pleading, ultimately agreeing.

Today is already Wednesday, and Gwen mentioned Saturday, so it appears he’ll have to take leave after not working for long. But whether he can get approval is uncertain. If it’s ultimately not approved, he’ll have to let Gwen down.

Go Biqing sat on a bench not far from the company entrance, waiting for a while and then noticing it was almost six o’clock. Should Murong Qing still not come, he wondered whether he should buy something to eat first. Waiting like this wouldn’t do him any good, and he couldn’t just call Murong Qing to ask; otherwise, it would seem as if he only cared about a free meal from her, which would appear as responding to Murong Qing’s interest in him. If Murong Qing misunderstood his intentions, he would have to find a solution.

Suddenly, Go Biqing saw Murong Qing’s car approaching from afar, but there was someone else with her in the car—someone Go Biqing really didn’t want to see but kept meeting in his dreams—Zhou Jiaying.

Fortunately, Go Biqing was sitting in a more concealed spot, and due to the angle, he was not spotted. Therefore, Go Biqing hid away, though he didn’t know why he did so. It seemed as if he feared Zhou Jiaying seeing Murong Qing bring him a meal. Perhaps subconsciously, he still held some hope regarding Zhou Jiaying and didn’t want her to misunderstand his relationship with Murong Qing.

Thus, Go Biqing watched from a corner as Murong Qing and Zhou Jiaying got out of the car. Murong Qing held several food boxes. Her face was all smiles, and she apparently hadn’t changed her clothes yet. She still wore the cheap, off-brand clothes Go Biqing had bought for her. It seemed all her clothes had always been brand names. Though not super rich, Go Biqing was considered within the range of a second-generation rich. He had some knowledge about clothes and other items; with his past self, he wouldn’t have touched clothes like this, let alone worn them. Unexpectedly, Murong Qing had worn them all afternoon.

At that moment, Go Biqing’s immediate reaction was to turn off his phone, because when Murong Qing couldn’t find him in the room, she would definitely call him first. If he picked up and said something careless, he would be exposed for sure, so he simply turned off his phone to avoid making excuses. It would be simpler to think of a solution when she comes next time.

After a while, Murong Qing indeed came out, still holding the food box. After the two women got into the car and drove away, Go Biqing finally relaxed. But at this moment, he still didn’t dare turn on his phone. Otherwise, if they hadn’t gone far and called again, what would he do?

Hurriedly, Go Biqing returned to his room, shoved his phone under the pillow on the bed, then went out again. This way, even if he got caught, he would have a reasonable excuse.

Now, Go Biqing went to the dining hall. Murong Qing probably wouldn’t come looking for him anymore, so he decided to eat something himself.

When Go Biqing arrived, people in the dining hall already knew him, since only Go Biqing and a few senior executives in the company could eat for free in the dining hall.

He served himself some dishes and rice, brought it to his room, and started eating. Just as Go Biqing was about to finish his meal, suddenly there was a knock at the door. When Go Biqing opened the door, he found Murong Qing standing outside. Go Biqing’s heart tightened. He looked outside quickly then put his mind at ease; it turned out Zhou Jiaying hadn’t followed, and Murong Qing had come alone.

After letting Murong Qing in, Murong Qing noticed the unfinished food in front of Go Biqing. Her expression quickly changed, and she asked, "Didn’t I tell you at noon that I would bring you dinner? Also, I came earlier, and you weren’t there. I waited for a long time, and your phone was off. If you don’t want to eat, never mind; I won’t meet you in the future then."

As she spoke, Murong Qing turned to leave. Seeing Murong Qing’s demeanor, Go Biqing realized the young lady’s temper was flaring up. So he quickly grabbed her arm and said, "No, it’s not that. It’s just that I waited for you for a long time, and when you didn’t come, I bought something to eat myself. I’ve been carrying my phone with me; how could it be off?"

Murong Qing turned and looked at Go Biqing’s face, making Go Biqing’s scalp slightly tingle. If she discovered he was lying, things could become quite serious.
