Flash Marriage with My Ex-Boyfriend’s Nemesis chapter 26 part 2
Part 2
She quickly dismissed this guess from her mind and stood up to look at Li Lan’s sketch.
“Wow, it looks…” Although she had expected it, seeing the almost perfect copy still amazed Ning Qingqing.
Li Lan smiled, “This is just a simple sketch. It will take at least three months to complete the painting. I hope to finish it before your wedding and give it to you as a wedding gift.”
Ning Qingqing was already looking forward to it, “Okay, thank you, Mom.”
A hand-painted oil portrait by her mother-in-law was more valuable than any wedding photo.
At noon, they all sat down to eat.
Ning Qingqing found that Li Lan was quite picky about food, while Gu Heng spoiled her, eating the things she didn’t like.
And as someone visiting their home for the first time, although they were enthusiastic, they didn’t take special care of her, which made her feel more relaxed.
The family atmosphere was very good. Ning Qingqing thought, no wonder she found Gu Youchen’s personality agreeable; it was due to family factors.
He lived in a loving environment, unlike Shen Zhiqian, he seemed more tolerant.
In the afternoon, Li Lan invariably took a nap, so after lunch, Gu Youchen rested for a while and took Ning Qingqing home.
Before leaving, they agreed to have a family gathering to discuss the wedding after Ning Qingqing’s parents arrived.
Leaving Gu’s villa, they walked towards the parking lot.
Gu Youchen looked down at Ning Qingqing’s hand and reached out to hold it.
Ning Qingqing looked up and met the man’s clear gaze.
She didn’t pull away, letting him hold her hand.
He didn’t let go until they got into the car.
Ning Qingqing thought, they were both working hard on this relationship, and perhaps one day, they would be as sweet as Gu Heng and Li Lan, even after decades.
For the first time, she had expectations.
She also wanted to know what a complete family was like, something she had never experienced in her twenty-odd years.
That night, Ning Qingqing received a call from Nie Yu, saying that other employees would come to the company tonight, clean the company tomorrow morning, and the administrative department had booked a venue near the company for a gathering in the evening.
Ning Qingqing volunteered to help clean the office tomorrow morning.
So in the morning, Gu Youchen drove her to the current Ningchuang Capital building, and Ning Qingqing said goodbye to him and went upstairs.
“Qingqing is here?” Xiao Zhu from the administrative department was directing his colleagues to hang the company logo, and turned to see Ning Qingqing.
Ning Qingqing knew him. She had been to Ningchuang Capital several times before, and Xiao Zhu had always received her.
“Brother Zhu, I came to see if I could help,” Ning Qingqing pointed at her clothes, “I’m wearing sportswear, perfect for manual labor!”
Xiao Zhu smiled, “No problem, President Ning said, even the young miss has to do odd jobs.”
He then shouted to the people in the company, “Qingqing is here, everyone, quickly get the work done, we dare not boss around the president, but let’s get revenge on her daughter!”
“Coming, coming!” Everyone rushed over. Some were quite familiar with Ning Qingqing, regardless of their dusty attire, they gave Ning Qingqing a hug, “Oh, my girl, you’re getting prettier and prettier!”
Ning Qingqing laughed. She suddenly remembered a sentence—
What one loses in one place, one gains in another.
She had lost nine years of her feelings, but gained a marriage that gave her hope;
She lost her job of two years, but gained such an enthusiastic and energetic team.
Just like a sentence she saw online: Don’t dwell on the past, don’t get entangled in the present, don’t anticipate the future.
She strived to live well in the present, embraced life, and believed that the future would reward her accordingly.
There were some unfamiliar faces today. After introductions, they started working again.
Ning Qingqing was not afraid of getting dirty. Wearing gloves, she joined them in wiping tables, sweeping the floor, and moving things, busy until she was sweating and her face was flushed.
They had simple takeout lunch boxes for lunch, each with one, sitting on the cleaned desks to eat.
The office area nameplates were also in place. Ning Qingqing looked at hers, looking forward to officially starting work.
In the afternoon, the transportation company delivered new office chairs. Everyone unloaded and placed the items, and after cleaning up, it was already four or five o’clock in the afternoon.
Ning Qingqing knew she was here to work, so she brought an extra clean set of clothes. After finishing here, she went to the hotel with everyone to shower and change.
Many people were from the south, and finding a house was troublesome after coming here. President Ning generously rented apartments for everyone near the company, and the lease was finalized, and they could move in next week.
After changing, Ning Qingqing called Gu Youchen, “Youchen, we’re going to the Qingyang Club near the company for a team-building event, and we’ll probably be home late.”
Gu Youchen replied, “Okay, call me when you’re almost done, I’ll pick you up.”
It was Sunday, his wife was not home, and President Gu was listlessly watching financial news on the sofa, feeling a little lonely.
Just after hanging up the phone, Gu Youchen received a video call invitation from Zhou Linghang.
Gu Youchen frowned disapprovingly but still answered.
Zhou Linghang’s face appeared on the screen, “Brother Chen, let’s hang out? Ye Peicheng finished filming his closed-set movie and just came back today, let’s get together!”
Before Gu Youchen could speak, he found that several more people had joined the video call. Zhou Linghang had sent the video invitation to a group chat, and almost everyone had joined.
“Brother Chen can’t come out, right? Brother Chen has been at home with his wife recently!”
“Ye Ge, you don’t know that Brother Chen got married, right? A sudden flash marriage! Since the flash marriage, we haven’t been able to make plans with him!”
“Not only can’t we make plans, he works overtime so hard usually, now he disappears as soon as work ends!”
“Brother Chen, come out, Peicheng rarely comes back, let’s have a good time!”
Ye Peicheng also grew up with them, but he entered the entertainment industry and won a best actor award at a young age. He was busy with advertisements and endorsements, rarely returning.
Seeing Gu Youchen alone, he asked, “Youchen, where’s your wife? Shall we invite her along?”
Gu Youchen said calmly, “She’s at a company gathering today. Where are you guys planning to meet? We’ll try to be early, I have to pick her up later.”
“Wow, having a wife is different!”
“Look at Brother Chen, he was a woman repellent before, now he’s a 24-karat good husband!”
“Hey, you guys don’t know, Brother Chen is really good at digging…”
Before Zhou Linghang finished, he met Gu Youchen’s cold gaze and dared not continue.
The others in the video were itching to know, but Zhou Linghang wouldn’t say anything more.
“We haven’t decided on a place yet, or else—” Zhou Linghang changed the subject.
Gu Youchen said, “Then let’s go to the Qingyang Club?”
“Huh, Brother Chen knows that place too?” Zhou Linghang was surprised.
Gu Youchen said, “My wife is having a gathering there with her colleagues.”
“Damn!” Zhou Linghang was speechless, “This is guarding his wife to prevent her from being hit on, right?”
Everyone laughed, but quickly decided to go there.
Seriously, they were all very curious about Gu Youchen’s wife!
Even more curious about how Gu Youchen was in front of his wife.
Meanwhile, Ning Qingqing and her group changed their clothes and walked to Qingyang because it was not far away.
Although this club was high-end, because it catered to young people, the private rooms were semi-open.
The private rooms were not separated by walls, but by crystal curtains and greenery, so people could vaguely see each other, perfect for young people to socialize, flirt, and have a chance encounter.
It was said that the chance encounter rate was very high here. Since the club opened, several couples who met here eventually got married.
Ning Qingqing and her group chose a relatively quiet private room. Xiao Zhu was good at creating a lively atmosphere. While eating snacks and drinking, the atmosphere became warm.
After a while, Gu Youchen and his friends arrived. They chose the innermost private room because Ye Peicheng was a top star, so they found a place where no one could see him.
As soon as they sat down, Zhou Linghang winked at everyone, “See over there? One of them is the sister-in-law!”
Everyone looked over, but the crystal beads swayed, and they couldn’t see clearly.
At that moment, Ye Peicheng’s phone rang. Seeing that it was a famous director in the industry, he answered, “Director Su—”
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Peicheng said, “Director Su will also come later, do you guys mind?”
Everyone shook their heads, “It’s okay, we’re not public figures, we’re here to help Brother Chen guard his wife today.”
At the same time, after Director Su hung up the phone, he said to Shen Zhiqian beside him, “Zhiqian, your father said you’ve been staying home lately. There’s a gathering today, I’m going to see a friend, let’s go together.”
Director Su was a close friend of Shen Zhiqian’s father, having grown up together in the same courtyard when they were kids. Therefore, he also treated Shen Zhiqian as his son, caring for him very much.
Shen Zhiqian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he suddenly remembered that Xue Wenlan said she was coming to his apartment today to explain the video, and he felt annoyed, so he nodded:
“Okay, Uncle Su, I’ll go. You chat with your friend first, and I’ll call a few friends to come along, so it will be more lively.”
