C27 (2/2)
Lu Ye Chen did not say anything, but he was finally able to see what was tightly held in her embrace. It was a deep red colored book, and the words ”National Emblem” and ”Household Book” on the cover were imprinted into his eyes.
As he did not speak, Gu Yun Qi lightly bit her lips. Although she was still nervous in her heart, she felt a bit more at ease.
Thinking of her grandfather's iron will, thinking of being locked up in the army for two days, thinking of how her grandfather had already started contacting the Military Medical Bureau, and thinking of how he would arrange for her to be sent to the Military Medical Office.
At this moment, he was able to stand here and watch him.
Gu Yun Qi felt as if she was already very lucky.
Lu Ye Chen did not speak, which made Gu Yun Qi even more anxious.
However, she hadn't expected that this man would silently stand in front of her.
The actions of his hand, however, showed his determination without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Ye Chen raised his hand and pulled her arm away. His slender arm circled around her shoulder, and then directly pressed onto the back of her head and neck, and then directly pushed her into his embrace.
Even after a long time, Lu Ye Chen still could not understand what exactly he was currently feeling in his heart.
Mercy? Heartache? Or more emotion?
He could not say. Regardless of whether he recalled it after a long time or at this very moment, he could not say how he was feeling at this very moment.
However, when he saw how thin she looked at this moment, she tightly gripped her account book in her hands.
He felt pity, he felt heartache.
At this moment, that heart that had been sealed away for a long time seemed to have loosened up a little. Perhaps in some corner that even he did not know about, there was a slight throb. After that, it did not stop.
”He's already so thin after two days, and he can actually flip down from the second floor even after eating for two days. Gu Yun Qi, I have truly underestimated you … ”
Lu Ye Chen's voice was low, but his tone was not reprimanding, as it contained a few more sighs.
She couldn't tell, but at this moment, it was as if all the nerves in her body had relaxed a lot. Gu Yun Qi raised her hand and gently grabbed the clothes at his waist.
Two days? So what? She had guarded this place for eighteen years, so how could she let it go on for merely two days? She definitely wouldn't let the light that she had already seen slip away so easily.
As long as he didn't let go of her hand first.
”I just … really want to see you.”
Gu Yun Qi said softly as her head was buried in his embrace.
One sentence seemed to contain thousands of words.
”I already said that I would solve the problem. I told you to wait for me obediently, why did you treat yourself unfairly?” Lu Ye Chen gently caressed her hair and asked: ”Are you hungry?”
Gu Yun Qi did not say anything. In fact, she was so hungry that she was almost out of breath, she didn't know if she was hallucinating, or maybe it was just an illusion. Or else, why would he feel like his body was emitting a chilly breath, mixed with a bit of the fragrance of food?
Just as she was thinking, Lu Ye Chen took out a paper bag from his jacket pocket and stuffed it into her hands.
The paper bag was still warm from heat, which made Gu Yun Qi a little surprised.
”You came in a hurry so you could only casually buy something on the side of the road. Eat first, then I'll take you to eat.”
Lu Ye Chen said as he reached out to gently touch the top of her head.
Lowering his eyes to look at the account book in her hand, he extended his hand to take it. ”Actually, you don't need to bring this.”
”No need to bring an account book? ”Didn't you say that …” Gu Yun Qi blinked her eyes, looking at him in confusion, could it be … The words he had said on the phone earlier, were they not counted?
Lu Ye Chen did not reply, he only held her slightly cold hand and walked towards the car, and walked to the side of the car, then turned and looked at Gu Yun Qi.
”Old Man Gu has his principles, his way of doing things is in accordance with his rules. He has his reasons for not liking merchants, because we don't abide by them.”
After he finished speaking, Gu Yun Qi saw two bodyguards in black pulling out a red cloth behind her and Lu Ye Chen, and another bodyguard pointing a light at them. A camera appeared out of nowhere in Yin Nan's hands, he said to Gu Yun Qi and Lu Ye Chen, ”It's time to take a picture, smile a little.”
