Chapter 263 An Elevator Affair

With that, Gu Jinchi's hand reached out.

The sudden closeness made her panic, and she subconsciously took a step back before realizing that her body was already close to the edge of the elevator.

She settled down in a hurry, remembering the setup that they didn't know each other at all.

She waved away Gu Jinchi's hand and faintly said, "I'm fine, just thinking about things."

"What a coincidence, I come at irregular times, yet I seem to see you every time." Gu Jinchi's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued.

"Really, I wasn't paying attention." She stiffened, such a small thing, Ji Qingyue had never told her.

It didn't take long for the elevator to rise to the upper floors, but it felt extraordinarily slow in the small, confined space it was in now, and the space seemed to be narrowing down a bit for her to breathe.

Gu Jinchi stood on a line with her, his eyes drifting over to survey her like he couldn't control it.

It even asked the very abrupt question, "What was your entry-level opportunity?"

Su Qinglan clutched the shoulder strap of her handbag and pretended not to talk back as if she hadn't heard.

But Gu Jinchi was rare to see more words, and even looked at the elevator's rising floors and asked meaningfully, "You're a lot like a person."

Nonsense, she is who she is.

Controlling her emotions, she took a deep breath and clenched the crown of her teeth intending to remain silent.

But there are times when the more silent you are, the more suspicious you are.

She faked a smile, "Thanks, I know."

"The voices are also very similar." Gu Jinchi added.

The words sent a sudden chill down her spine and her heart abruptly beat a little faster.

Seeing that she was once again silent, Gu Jinchi snorted in a deep voice and raised his hand to cancel the button for upstairs.

The elevator, which had lost its target, came to a steep stop, the doors closed, and the elevator buttons were right behind him.

But for such a short distance, it was as if they were separated by a chasm.

Her brow furrowed and a cold sweat ran straight down her spine, "What do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean much, it just seems ... like you could be her." He turned and cornered her directly, the narrow space giving her nowhere to run.

Seeing his figure approaching, Su Qinglan's heart was ringing with alarm bells.

Her nerves tightened, her whole body like a taut string.

But Gu Jinchi just stood there, doing nothing, his hands in his pockets, his eyes looking him up and down even more recklessly.

The low voice spat out words slowly and slowly, "Whether it's looks, body, voice, or dress, they all resemble each other, do you think there would be such a coincidence in this world?"

Her heart was in her throat and only one thought remained in her mind.

It can't be exposed, one low ang can't, or their efforts will be wasted.

But the chances of trying to escape from here were almost nil, and she crept her hand into her backpack and was about to call Ren Lord for help when he clutched her hands violently.

He clutched her slender wrists high above her head and pressed them directly against the wall, even so appropriately sized under the tight grip.

"Are you calling him for help?" Gu Jinchi glanced at her cell phone's call screen and asked slowly.

She was so close, so close to dialing the Ren Lords.

But now he's caught in the act.

"Let go!"

Su Qinglan struggled up, the Gu Jinchi in front of her made her feel unfamiliar, when did this man become a hooligan who would treat unfamiliar women in the elevator!

But her strength was nothing compared to his, Gu Jinchi just controlled her doing nothing, even letting her move her hands and kick.

"Or I'm going to call the police! There's surveillance in the elevator!"

She shouted out regardless, but Gu Jinchi suddenly smiled.

"Don't be afraid, I just want to make sure of one thing, since he wants a replacement, it should be a perfect 1:1 replacement, right?"

As the words came out of his mouth, he dropped her hand and clutched it instead.

He fished out a ring from his pocket, and that ring couldn't have looked more familiar to Su Qinglan.

It was the first ring Gu Jinchi had given her since they got together.

This 'relic' was put back on her hand in a perfect size match.

He laughed softly again and hooked his lips in satisfaction, "Since I can wear it, I'll give it to you."

With that, he had dropped her hand, pressed open the elevator and walked out without looking back.

Only Su Qinglan, whose brain was left blank, stood in the elevator for a long time without returning to her senses.

The ring on her hand still had a bit of his body heat, had been clutched in his pocket for I don't know how long, and now that it was on her hand, there wasn't any cold chill, only warmth.

Looking at the clear gemstone on the ring, her heart was mixed.

What the hell is he doing ... this for?

Want to find a 'double' to send your feelings too?

Sourness and uneasiness welled up in her heart, like torture that made her lose her soul.

In that moment, she actually looked forward to having her sunglasses removed by him.

But he didn't, he just left a ring, a Cinderella-like charade that looks especially ridiculous at the moment.

The elevator began to run between her lost souls, and coincidentally, it was Ji Qingyue who pressed it down.

She looked at Su Qinglan in the elevator and was taken aback, "Why are you there? Didn't the elevator come from the thirty-fourth floor? Did you go to Gu Jinchi's place?"

"No."

Hearing the familiar voice, she immediately put away those wild thoughts and shook her head, pretending to shake her head like nothing was wrong.

"When did you start wearing a ring again, or ring finger, this ring looks ... so familiar." Ji Qingyue's mind is delicate, picking up her hand and sizing it up, her brows still knit up slightly from time to time.

By the way, she'd seen this ring before.

Thinking of this, Su Qinglan hastily drew back his hand and held her straight to the office.

"I rummaged through my stuff this morning and thought it looked good so I put it on. Hold me up a bit, it's not comfortable to walk."

Despite what she said, her movements were much sharper than those of a fifty or sixty year old grandpa.

...

Not many adults can wear that ring.

Her hands were slender and soft, as if the touch she had just experienced was still fresh in her mind.

Gu Jin Chi twisted and rubbed his fingertips, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but emerge with a smirk that he couldn't help, looking foolishly at Gu Jin Chi, who was standing to the side.

"Mr. Gu ... you ... have something to be happy about?"

"Yes." He responded dryly.

It wasn't just a happy thing, the discovery was enough to change his life, the sunshine in his life was back.

Everything is no longer cloudy.

And Ozawa should be at her place too.

What Xiao Ze didn't know was that as early as when he first had him, Gu Jinchi was like a treasure, and as a precautionary measure after he left the time line, he had a locator on his school bag or shoes.

He was the one who panicked his head off a few days ago, and only after he calmed down did he think to investigate Ozawa's course of action.

His route was clear from leaving Gu's house until an upscale apartment in Prime State, originally he thought it was a kidnapping, but if Su Qinglan was here, then things made sense.

What s more, ... the Gu family also captured the electronic equipment frequent external contact airwaves, according to the frequency of the airwaves appearing and disappearing, it should be Xiao Ze and Su Qinglan contacted right.

He nearly laughed out loud.

Anian, who was watching the scene, had already touched his cell phone.

He was apprehensive.

Mr. Gu should not be ... crazy, right?

Gu Jinchi was still rejoicing over this great surprise.

At first, when he saw that imposter, he did wonder if it was Ren Lords psychopathic need for a replacement.

But now that he saw the rightful owner he realized that it should have just been an illusion that was trying to be made for him.

Su Qinglan's walking posture was still a bit affected now, that impostor had shown up on the first day with a bandage but was still moving freely despite the help.

"Mr. Gu ..."

Anni contacted her personal physician and tentatively called out again before pulling her attention back.

He glanced at the cell phone he was connecting to and lifted his hand to hang up, "I just made an interesting discovery."

"What?" Anni was confused.

"Secret."

Anni: ...

"I met her on the elevator today." He spoke slowly, "You should know that not many people can wear her ring."

"The impostor who claimed her name was Rinen walked freely on the first day and had hands a little fatter than hers, but today she was able to wear that ring."

He closed his eyes, savoring everything that had happened since he'd run into her in the elevator today, and the snickering was hard to hide.

This was quickly understood by An Nian as well, and the same incredulity filled his eyes.

"You mean ... Mrs. She, is still alive?"

Gu Jinchi nodded slightly, "Go find out who the person under the burial is."

"Yes." An Nian immediately responded, "But why, since the Lady is still alive, has she never gone back to you?"

"This matter ... maybe she has her own plans." These words also hit the obscurity in Gu Jinchi's heart.

She'd rather live here incognito with Lord Ren, even picking up Ji Qing Yue and Xiao Ze, but only not telling him?

And that goodbye he heard while he was in a coma.

What did she go through afterward, with her cancer?

"In that case, the reason why young master Ozawa appeared in Prime State is also because of ...," An Nian similarly found it difficult to hide the delight in his gaze.

Gu Jinchi compared a silent gesture, outside the office door, still do not know how many pairs of ears are eavesdropping.

"Keep this a secret and just let us know."

"So the search for Ze's side will continue, and as for her ... I'm sure there will be time to hear her story when we get past this."

When Su Qinglan was mentioned, there was a characteristic gentleness in his vision, and even his tone was much gentler.

Looking at the towering man in front of him who once again had that little bit of a human touch, An Nian also revealed a hint of a smile, "Yes, I understand, since young master is at madam's place, you can rest assured."

"You should mean that you will settle Gu Zhuyan during this time?"

Gu Jinchi didn't respond, but changed direction to give an answer, "Stay alive, there are things I still want to know."

In the office the atmosphere was cordial, but out of this door the faces of the two men resumed their old grimness.
