C242 (1/2)
Lu Qinan took a jacket and turned to leave. However, her small body was extremely stubborn, and she was not willing to stay in the same room as him.
”Mommy …”
Outside, Bao Bao covered baby's ears, preventing her from hearing the arguments, and raised her head to see her mother walking out, hence she broke free, and subconsciously hugged her leg.
The meaty face was clean and fair, full of confusion. ”Where are you going so late at night?”
Lu Qinan did not speak for a long time, he only clenched his fists, raised his head, and barely suppressed his thoughts.
”Daddy, Mommy isn't too happy …” You're trying to coax her. ”
She pouted helplessly as she looked at the man standing to the side. She knew that it was snowing outside, and it was also so cold. It wasn't good for her to let Mommy run out by herself.
However, her father didn't move at all. She just hugged him very tightly and didn't want to let him go.
The air was completely silent. After a long while, Gu Zhongshen finally opened his eyes and walked straight to the profound entrance.
When he came in, he took off his coat and hung it on one side. ”This house is yours,” he said.
If he really wanted to leave, it would be because of him.
Seeing that, Bao Bao sighed, pushed baby away and brought him back to his room.
Gu Zhongshen did not speak anymore, and the sunlight could not reach from the profound entrance. His tall and upright body then landed in the shadows, his handsome face seemed to be dyed in ink, as it covered up all his emotions.
He had always known how she felt. The little girl's heart was soft, but stubborn.
She knew that she couldn't let him go easily, so how could she bear to see him walk into danger? She could only hide it from him and let him temporarily leave with her two children.
”Wait.” Just as the door opened, a crisp voice sounded from behind him.
Lu Qinan called out to him.
She rubbed her eyes. The beige knit jacket fell into the dim light, giving off a hazy appearance. The soft voice was firmly planted behind him. Her drooping face was obscured by the shadow above her head.
”You and Shu Ya are getting engaged, I have nothing to give you.”
Lu Qinan pinched her fingers, her small face had a rare smile, ”This pair of bracelets was given to me by the old lady, she said it was a family heirloom when she gave it to me.”
She handed over the carefully wrapped bracelets. Seeing that the man didn't move, she took his hand and placed it on the table.
”The Old Granny specifically told me that I will only pass these bracelets down to my wife. I should have given it back to you when we got divorced. ”
After a slight pause, she was slightly surprised. She realized that her voice was actually choked with sobs.
He slowed down, then raised his head again. He was exceptionally calm. ”Fortunately, it's not too late.”
Gu Zhongshen opened his palm, and in his palm, other than the wooden box that didn't have any temperature, there was also the warmth of a woman's fingertip.
There was no movement for a long time.
The little woman in front of him lifted her face, white and clean.
Her red lips slightly parted and she said in a gentle voice, ”I wish you two happiness, Fourth Uncle.”
”An An...”
Gu Zhongshen's lips moved, she wanted to say something, but the words were cut off just as she was about to speak.
She pushed him out of the room and pointed at the sky, her eyes calm and emotionless.
”It's getting late, Fourth Uncle.”
Walking out, the cold wind carried with it a thin layer of snowflakes as it caressed his face. The surrounding air was astringent and cold. The bodyguard outside the pass carefully confirmed that it was correct, then stood back up.
He pressed the switch and the wooden box in his palm opened. Inside the box was a pair of jade bracelets.
He had never known that the Gu family had something like a family heirloom. He also didn't know when the old lady had given it to her.
The girl's eyes were clear and calm. When she said that she would let him go and make him happy, her emotions were so calm that there wasn't a single ripple.
She had let go of her from the bottom of her heart.
Separated by a window covered in white mist, Lu Qinan stood at the side of the kitchen and looked at the tall and straight body.
He stood in the snowstorm for a long time. There were some snowflakes on his black coat, and his entire body was frozen, as if he was thinking about something.
At a certain moment, he turned around and got on the car. As if he no longer wanted to stay, he left in a cloud of dust.
”Publish the news of the engagement.”
The phone was in the middle of the conversation. On the other side, Lian Shuyan had a serious expression, one of his foot was resting on the cradle, occasionally shaking it, causing the baby inside to giggle.
He teased the child, but his expression was a little serious: ”An An's side should be safe, if we send people there, it should be fine. However, once the wedding is made public, it will be very difficult to conclude this matter. ”
Lian Shuyan frowned, he was worried.
In the end, Shu Ya was his sister and he was over twenty years old and was still unmarried. He was a little worried. When the two elders heard that she was going to marry Gu Zhongshen, although they despised the other party for marrying him, their children and age.
However, in the end, it was still an exchange between aristocratic families. Thus, one's character could be trusted.
If they knew that the engagement was arranged otherwise, at that time …
”Lao Si, when you reached an agreement with Shu Ya, she really did not tell you who that man was?”
Gu Zhongshen paused for a few seconds, his voice became somewhat heavy, but in the end, he still shook his head, ”No.”
The two of them fell silent.
Lian's youngest daughter has been abroad for many years. The people around her only thought that she was going to further study, but didn't want to suddenly return home. She was actually completely injured by a man.
But no matter what, she was unwilling to tell him who that man was. After hearing about Gu Yanjun, she agreed to come down and fake her engagement.
