Chapter 447: Stop Thinking About It

Gu Juan’s situation, Gu Lingling didn’t know about it.

Tang Wei’s recent behavior was just too suspicious, leaving her with no choice but to think more about it. He often inexplicably looked at her, sometimes even smiling at her.

The meaning in those eyes, Gu Lingling thought for a moment, she seemed to have seen it in Yang Yunhai’s eyes before.

"Lingling, do you have time this evening?" As the workday was about to end, Tang Wei stopped Gu Lingling, who was preparing to leave, "I happen to have two movie tickets here, how about we go see a movie together?"

He spoke without much concern, but his palms were already sweating nervously.

"I’m sorry, Tang Wei," Gu Lingling said with a faint smile, "I have something to do tonight, so I can’t go, but thank you for your kind offer."

If she was unsure before, there was no mistaking now unless she was a fool.

In this era, going to the movies mostly means going as a couple.

Tang Wei’s face, which had been smiling, became slightly stiff, "Why?"

Gu Lingling originally planned to gradually distance herself from Tang Wei in the future, so she wouldn’t need to explain it clearly. Since he was so clever, he should be able to understand her meaning, but she didn’t expect him to ask directly.

"I’m sorry," Gu Lingling said seriously, "I already have someone I like."

"Is it Liu Zhi?" Tang Wei asked.

The only person he could think of was this Liu Zhi, since in the office, Gu Lingling was closest to Zhang Shiqiang and Liu Zhi, and Zhang Shiqiang was married, so it certainly couldn’t be him.

Then it could only be Liu Zhi.

"It’s not," Gu Lingling shook her head, "He’s not someone from our factory."

"You’re excellent, I’m sure you’ll meet someone suitable for you in the future," Gu Lingling said earnestly, "We can still be colleagues, and of course, being friends is good too."

So they were just colleagues, not even friends?

Tang Wei smiled wryly.

"I’ll be going first," Gu Lingling said, looking down, "I’m sorry."

Tang Wei clutched the movie tickets and silently walked back to the office and sat down. This was the first time he had proactively invited a girl to the movies and was rejected, and even without a chance to confess, he was just turned down like that.

Ha, actually, this is quite good.

He believed that Gu Lingling must have felt his kindness and concern these days, but she always pretended not to know. He thought she was shy, but he didn’t expect her heart to already have someone she liked.

Who could it be?

Tang Wei thought unwillingly, is that person as excellent as him? Does he treat her as well?

Gu Lingling not choosing him, that’s surely her loss.

"Alright, stop thinking about it." Zhou Qing came over at some point, "Want to go have a drink tonight?"

He felt uncomfortable seeing his good friend so upset.

But what can he do?

Love is not something you can force, especially with a girl like Gu Lingling who has strong opinions.

"Am I really that pathetic?" Tang Wei smiled self-mockingly.

"You know you’re very excellent," Zhou Qing said.

"But...she just doesn’t see it that way." Not interested, already likes someone? "Do you think she could be lying to me?"

If Gu Lingling had someone she liked, why has he never seen him pick her up? Not even a mention?

Zhou Qing, "..."

There’s probably no need to lie about this, but seeing Tang Wei so distressed, he decisively chose to remain silent.

"I’m not giving up just like that," Tang Wei murmured.

"What?" Zhou Qing didn’t hear clearly, so he asked.

"Nothing, let’s go watch a movie together," he said, patting Tang Qing’s shoulder, as the good brothers walked out.

"Brother Tang." Just outside the engineering department’s gate, there was a girl waiting there.
