Chapter 11 (1/2)
The Italian restaurant opposite the Jung group.
Tang HaoChen has ordered the dishes and is waiting for Gu Mian to arrive.
Tang HaoChen was adopted to general Tang Zhanpeng when he was ten years old. At that time, master Rong and Tang Zhanpeng were comrades in arms who had gone to the battlefield together, while Tang Zhanpeng's wife Yang Qinqin was weak and had no children under her knees. When she died, she regretted that she had not left a child for Tang Zhanpeng.
At that time, the two families were friends. Mr. Rong's wife Wu Kaixia had what Yang Qinqin was. At that time, he pushed Tang HaoChen forward, which was regarded as fulfilling Yang Qinqin's dream.
At that time, in addition to Tang HaoChen, master Rong had another eldest son, Rong Xiu's father. At least later, because he couldn't bear the death of his wife, he committed suicide and died in love, leaving Rong Xiu, who was only six years old.
Tang HaoChen chose a position near the window. Across the French window, he smiled gracefully, waved his hand gently and greeted Gu Mian.
Gu Mian smiled and stepped into the restaurant with high heels.
Just as soon as she entered the door, she was surprised to find Rong Xiu and Zhang Chuqi sitting in the hall.
In an instant, Gu Mian's smile became stiff.
Because she saw that Rong Xiu's narrowed eyes were as deep as an ice spring for thousands of years. When she saw Gu Mian looking at him, his cold eyes suddenly shot at Tang HaoChen, and Tang HaoChen with his back to him obviously didn't know that Rong Xiu was behind him at the moment.
He must have guessed that Gu Mian appeared here for dinner with Tang HaoChen.
Yes, I just came to dinner. There's no need to feel guilty. Gu Mian hesitated. He just didn't want Rong Xiu to make trouble with Tang HaoChen.
Gu Mian pretends not to see Rong Xiu, calmly enters the restaurant and sits opposite Tang HaoChen.
”Sorry, I really want to be late.” Looking at the dishes that have come up, Gu Mian's face is full of apology.
”It doesn't matter. Have dinner!” Tang HaoChen smiled gently and didn't mind Gu Mian's being late.
With elegant decoration and beautiful violin playing, this restaurant is very suitable for couples.
Gu Mian raised his eyes and could see Rong Xiu and Zhang Chuqi talking and laughing intimately, without avoiding others. Gu Mian cut the steak absently, and his thoughts seemed to fly thousands of miles away.
”The wound hurts?”
Tang HaoChen looked at Gu Mian and asked softly.
”Huh?” Gu Mian looked up at the steak that he had not cut for a long time, and simply put down his knife and fork.
Tang HaoChen suddenly stretched out his hand, gently pulled the hand on Gu Mian's hand, looked at the gauze on it and asked, ”what did the doctor say?”
Gu Mian quickly took back her arm. To tell the truth, she also felt that Tang HaoChen's doing so was easy to be misunderstood. Coupled with Tang HaoChen's abnormality at the banquet that day, Gu Mian seems to have noticed something.
Gu Mian raised his head. Before he spoke, he saw Rong Xiu not far away. He looked at himself angrily. Unexpectedly, she ignored the steak that Zhang Chuqi fed him.
Although Rong Xiu is not her excuse to refuse Tang HaoChen, Gu Mian feels it necessary to keep a distance from Tang HaoChen.
”It's all right. It's just a small wound.”
