CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 306: GU YANJING DOESN’T DARE TO MOVE

Sure, here’s the translation:

Qiao Yuxian arrived at work early, and there weren’t many people in the office yet.

But there were always some who managed to catch the excitement.

Everyone almost skipped breakfast, all quietly stretching their ears to watch, and listen.

Afraid of missing any explosive news.

Qiao Yuxian sat on a chair, looking at Xu Jingjing standing in front of her.

The person was pretty, just gave off the feeling of not being very smart.

Or maybe not not smart, just simply did her own thing without caring.

Because she knew someone had her back, she didn’t need to worry much about the consequences of her actions.

"Why do you keep staring!" Xu Jingjing said.

Qiao Yuxian sat at her seat with a calm expression, a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, slowly said, "You’ve been standing here, I thought you wanted me to look at you."

Zhao Meng suddenly let out a laugh.

"You..." Xu Jingjing looked at her calm demeanor and suddenly got angrier, "What’s so smug about you? Without Brother Yanjing, what do you even count as?"

"Then what can I do? Who told me to marry Gu Yanjing." Qiao Yuxian looked at her arrogant little face and said, "Who told Gu Yanjing to spoil me so much. He spoils me, so of course I rely on him."

Xu Jingjing seemed surprised she would say this, unable to react for a moment, staring blankly at her.

Qiao Yuxian calmly continued, "I was just an intern, I wanted to keep a low profile. But your Brother Yanjing insisted on a title, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Zhao Meng stifled a laugh.

The few in the office who heard "Gu Yanjing insisted on a title" were all stunned.

Xu Jingjing was even more shocked by her words, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could Brother Yanjing..."

"Why don’t you ask him?" Qiao Yuxian smiled, leaned back in her chair, swaying it slightly, appearing quite relaxed, "He’s just upstairs, why not ask him?"

Xu Jingjing said nothing.

She was brave enough to speak here, but not brave enough to confront Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled lightly, "Friendly reminder, if you piss me off, Gu Yanjing will have to come and coax me. I’m the type? Spoiled and capricious, with a huge temper. If I get mad, no one will have a good time. In the end, Gu Yanjing will be the one worrying."

Qiao Yuxian spoke softly, "If Gu Yanjing fails to cheer me up, guess who’s going to suffer?"

Xu Jingjing’s eyes flickered, lips pursed without saying a word, but her expression seemed quite defiant.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled again, "Little sister, just a reminder. This is a company, not a place for you to throw tantrums. Otherwise... I’ll report you."

"Qiao Yuxian, you..."

"You what, I what." Qiao Yuxian interrupted her, "If there’s nothing else, stop standing here, you’re blocking my light."

"You..." Xu Jingjing pointed at Qiao Yuxian, "Just you wait."

"Alright." Qiao Yuxian smiled, "Welcome to come again next time."

The more she smiled as if nothing had happened, the angrier Xu Jingjing got. When she turned to leave, she felt like she was about to cry from anger.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her back, paused, and chuckled quietly.

The few who had been watching the scene secretly gave Qiao Yuxian a thumbs up.

Seeing the thumbs up, Qiao Yuxian was briefly taken aback, then smiled gently at them.

Then she turned to Zhao Meng, "What’s the deal? How does Xu Jingjing have such bad relations?"

Otherwise, it shouldn’t be that the person who got retorted was accepted by others.

Qiao Yuxian thought about her performance just now.

Shouldn’t it be quite annoying?

Why does it seem like everyone is quite indifferent?

Zhao Meng nodded, "She’s been acting up since she arrived. But because of her grandfather’s status, everyone puts up with it when they can. What you did today was simply heartening."

"This was heartening?" Qiao Yuxian laughed, "How depressed has everyone been kept?"

"You have no idea how annoying you looked just now." Zhao Meng said, "That look, that tone... it was practically killing someone without losing a trace. I think Xu Jingjing was about to cry earlier."

Qiao Yuxian laughed, "Just a brat."

"A brat is much more sensible than her." Zhao Meng said, "You better watch out, what if she goes to tattle and adds some embellishments, affecting your relationship with Mr. Gu."

"No way." Qiao Yuxian said.

"You better keep an eye out." Zhao Meng said, "I heard recently that Mr. Xu, Xu Jingjing’s grandfather, holds quite a significant place in Mr. Gu’s heart. Anyway, for anything between you two, communicate timely to avoid any misunderstandings."

Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Alright, got it."

The small morning episode passed, everyone worked diligently in the morning, and no one mentioned it.

But the company’s gossip channels were lively.

The morning incident in the translation department slowly spread bit by bit through the company.

Qiao Yuxian worked seriously, not intending to take the morning incident to heart.

But Xu Jingjing kept lingering in front of her, making her unhappy.

Her desk was on the side; whenever someone walked by, she could see out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Jingjing drifted past like a ghost, now and then.

Her little high heels clacked like horse hooves.

It was okay at first, but after a few rounds, Qiao Yuxian’s eyes started to blur.

During work hours, Qiao Yuxian didn’t want to pay her any attention or waste words with her, so she put on headphones and set up a cardboard box at her desk, completely ignoring Xu Jingjing.

Left unheeded, Xu Jingjing finally settled down.

But Qiao Yuxian developed lingering effects from Xu Jingjing’s provocations, which intensified upon seeing Gu Yanjing.

During lunch, Gu Yanjing noticed Qiao Yuxian’s odd expression towards him.

That little gaze, that silent grievance.

Gu Yanjing peeled shrimp for her, placed it on her plate, then asked thoughtfully, "What’s up? You’re not happy?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "Not at all."

From the "not at all," Gu Yanjing heard a serious undertone.

Seeing she had a good appetite, he thought and asked, "Is there something at work? Any difficulties?"

"Not at all." Qiao Yuxian repeated, "Everything’s fine."

Gu Yanjing felt things were getting serious.

His mind raced, pondering if he had done anything to upset her.

Qiao Yuxian twirled her fork, spinning the pasta onto it, and slowly ate. She then started peeling shrimp herself.

Gu Yanjing looked at the shrimp on her plate that had been peeled but untouched.

He slightly moved his fingers resting on his leg.

Unsure what to do next, Qiao Yuxian peeled the shrimp and held it up to his mouth.

He looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian smiled with her eyes, "Brother Yanjing, have some shrimp."

Gu Yanjing didn’t dare to move.

Seeing he wasn’t eating, Qiao Yuxian’s expression turned a bit sour, "Brother Yanjing, are you not eating? I peeled it myself."

Gu Yanjing opened his mouth and ate.

He chewed slowly, watching her.

Qiao Yuxian asked again, "Is it good? I peeled it."

"Mm." Gu Yanjing nodded.

Qiao Yuxian smiled again, lowered her head, and ate the shrimp peeled by Gu Yanjing for her.

Gu Yanjing watched her.

His face showed nothing, but he was quite anxious eating this meal.
