Chapter 267 - 249: Don’t See Him Again_2
The defense was crucial for her smooth graduation, so Gu Qili took time off for the first time from Liu Zhining, even though the restaurant opening was imminent. But Liu Zhining was not an unreasonable man; knowing she had to attend the graduation defense, he readily gave her two days off.
After asking for time off, Gu Qili excitedly started to text Mu Shuoqian, but halfway through drafting her message, she suddenly deleted it all.
In more than half a month since they had seen each other, she really missed him to death. Although they exchanged messages and calls daily, and when he wasn’t busy, they would also be affectionate over video, the comfort provided through phone lines and screens couldn’t quench her immediate longing. She wanted to see him, and it would be best if she could sprout wings and fly directly to his side.
Gu Qili quickly packed her luggage and booked the earliest flight back to Aus City.
At the airport, she bought some specialties from City A, and when she passed by a boutique, she was attracted by a uniquely crafted tie.
Mu Shuoqian liked black and white, and this tie perfectly incorporated the black and white color match to its utmost degree, making it a perfect complement to any of his suits.
Standing in front of the shop window for a long time, the more she looked at the tie, the more she liked it, but she hesitated when she saw the price was unexpectedly high—into the five-digits.
She hadn’t been earning a salary for long and had given half of it to Zhu Ping not long ago, so she didn’t have much left, and she would have to wait a few days for this month’s salary.
She had the card he gave her, but using his card to buy him a gift seemed a bit insincere.
Reluctantly taking one last look at the tie, a slender figure appeared unexpectedly in her line of sight.
She was just like her, earnestly examining the tie, a tall girl with a fashionable dress, and a pair of oversized sunglasses perched on her upturned nose.
"Do you also think this tie is nice?" the girl suddenly lifted her head and said with a beaming smile.
