Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 503 Please Guide Me for the Rest of My Life (9)

After Xu Qing returned home, she took Shen Xinru home to continue drinking, as she had been craving the wines on the original owner's wine cabinet and in the wine cellar for a long time.

She has recently recovered and her engagement has been dissolved. After having a few drinks, she feels refreshed and relaxed.

Some time ago, Chen Han contacted her and agreed to dissolve the engagement. Both sets of parents respected their opinions, and the matter was resolved perfectly.

Now she eats and drinks all day long, and travels when she has time. She only needs to appear when the company has something to do. As long as she pays attention to her health, it's fine for her to drink alcohol occasionally.

The following afternoon, Xu Qing and Shen Xinru sat at the dining table eating; both had just woken up.

"Qingqing, what are your plans for this afternoon?" Shen Xinru asked, looking at Xu Qing, who sat opposite her with a bare face and a lazy demeanor.

She has already taken care of herself and is ready to go out to work at any time. I envy Qingqing's relaxed state of mind.

Xu Qing shook her head: "No plans, I'll just stay home and sunbathe."

"You're having such a comfortable time. It makes me want to hand over the entire studio to Gan Luo to manage."

Gan Luo is the manager of Shen Xinru's studio. Although someone else is in charge, she still goes there every day and takes care of everything, big or small. She is the kind of person who does everything herself.

"Sure, it's tiring to worry about everything. It's good to delegate some authority."

Shen Xinru quieted down upon hearing this. She was worried about putting everything down, as if she had already gotten used to being busy.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Xu Qing curled her lips into a smile. Not everyone is like her, able to lie down comfortably.

However, I still gave you a suggestion: "If you're really struggling with this, then take it slow. For example, instead of going every day, go every two days."

“That’s a good idea. I’ll go to the studio today to take care of it, and I won’t go tomorrow.”

Xu Qing nodded. Just then, her phone, which was next to her, rang. She picked it up and looked at it.

Gu Wei: [You didn't drink too much yesterday, did you? How's your stomach?]

Xu Qing, phone in hand, nestled in her chair, raised an eyebrow and chuckled as she replied: "[I'm not Dr. Gu's patient. What gives Dr. Gu the right to ask me this?]"

Upon seeing the message, Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, unsure how to reply. After a while, he finally wrote: "This is a greeting from a doctor friend."

Oh? I thought Dr. Gu was interested in me, which is why he came to check on me.

Gu Wei read the sentence several times, then raised his hand to touch his heart, which was beating slightly faster due to nervousness.

Before he could figure out what to say, another message came through.

Why haven't you said anything for so long? Are you shy?

Gu Wei immediately retorted: "I'm not shy."

If she's not shy, then she's interested in me.

Xu Qing seized on the loophole in his words to tease him, and he only replied with the latter part, ignoring the former.

【…】

Gu Wei: ...He seems to have been tricked.

Xu Qing's smile deepened. She didn't expect him to say anything; she just felt genuinely happy whenever she teased others.

Shen Xinru, who had been watching her for a while, tentatively asked, "Qingqing, who are you chatting with? You seem so happy?"

Xu Qing put down her phone, touched her face, and asked, "Do I look happy?"

"Yeah, you're all smiles. Could it be with some guy? You just broke off your engagement and you already have a target. You're pretty quick on that." Shen Xinru's gossip spirit was ignited.

"I just saw some funny things," Xu Qing said, without stating it directly.

"You can't even tell me?"

"It's not the right time yet. I'll let you know when something happens."

"Okay, I've finished eating and it's time to go. The driver is already at the door."

"Okay, see you when you have time."

"Okay, beautiful." Shen Xinru blew her a kiss, then picked up her bag and went out.

Xu Qing smiled and picked up her phone again. Gu Wei had already changed the subject, and the two chatted occasionally.

In the office of the Department of Gastroenterology at Huaqing Affiliated Hospital.

Gu Wei sat at his desk, checking the time every now and then, feeling that the day was passing very slowly.

Gao Xi came to talk to Gu Wei. Just as she was about to leave, she saw him checking the time again. She had just seen him check the time once before.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is something urgent coming up? You seem to be in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wei realized what was happening and calmed down: "Yes, something's come up."

Gao Xi had never seen him like this before, and her sixth sense led her to tentatively ask, "Going home? Did Gu Xiao ask you out?"

"No." Gu Wei didn't want to say more.

Unable to get any information from her, Gao Xi had no choice but to leave.

When the time came, Gu Wei immediately changed his clothes and took the elevator downstairs.

Gao Xi stood at the window upstairs, watching Gu Wei walk out of the hospital and head straight for a car.

It was a red sports car, and there was a good chance there was a woman inside.

"Gu Wei, over here!" Xu Qing said to the people at the hospital entrance as he rolled down the car window.

Upon seeing this, Gu Wei smiled and walked over, opened the passenger door, and got into the car.

"I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long?"

Xu Qing retorted, "You're not going to come running over as soon as it's time, are you?"

Gu Wei choked: "...No." If he didn't admit it, no one would know; he was mainly afraid she would have to wait too long.

Xu Qing smiled and continued to tease him, "Fasten your seatbelt. You can help me if you want?"

"I'll do it myself," Gu Wei said, quickly fastening his seatbelt.

Xu Qing smiled as she started the car and drove to the private restaurant she had visited the night she first came into this world.

During the period when she was recovering from stomach problems, she ate here almost all the time, except for meals cooked by her housekeeper at home.

Recently, Gu Wei and she have become closer and closer, chatting almost every day, and are in a stage of ambiguity.

We had arranged to have dinner together tonight, and since Xu Qing had nothing else to do, she drove over.

When they arrived at their destination, the two got out of the car and went inside, where they ran into the owner of the private restaurant. Because Xu Qing was a frequent customer, the owner already remembered her.

"Miss Xu, you brought your boyfriend this time."

Xu Qing smiled but remained silent: "Boss Zhou, you'd better arrange a few more of your signature dishes today."

This private restaurant has delicious food and caters to wealthy people. It likes to whet people's appetites by limiting everything, which is a bit like using scarcity marketing.

Xu Qing is already the highest-ranking VIP here, but he hasn't tried all the dishes yet.

Mr. Zhou agreed: "No problem, I'll arrange it for you. Please come and sit in the private room first."

Xu Qing tugged at Gu Wei's hand: "Keep up."

Gu Wei was just thinking about how she hadn't denied that the boss was her boyfriend, when she was pulled back to her senses.

"You seem to know the boss quite well. Did you come here often before?"

"Yeah, I'm tired of the food my housekeeper makes, so I come here to eat. It's all healthy and easy on the stomach. You should try it later, I think you'll like it."

"I also prefer light flavors, so I think it should be good."

"You can come again if you like it."

The two sat down in the private room, which was decorated in a very elegant and refined manner. There were many paintings on the walls and various ornaments on the shelves, with an overall Chinese style.

Gu Wei thought for a moment, then asked, "Why didn't you deny what the boss said just now?"

"What?"
