Chapter 44 When do you plan to get married?

Lu Fengqing felt that this scoundrel's ability to turn the tables on her was becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Who's using whom?!

Lu Fengqing wanted to argue with him about this, but her stomach was protesting, so she had to give up.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but was the ice hockey rink really that far from the restaurant? She'd been walking for almost half an hour.

Lu Fengqing stopped in her tracks.

Gu Suixing raised her eyelids slightly. "What's wrong?"

Lu Fengqing frowned. "I think I've taken the wrong turn."

Gu Suixing glanced ahead and said, "I didn't go the wrong way."

Lu Fengqing: "?"

Gu Suixing finished the sentence: "We went the wrong way."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

asshole.

Lu Fengqing glared at him, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Gu Suixing remained unfazed. "Blinded by lust, I didn't notice."

"..." Lu Fengqing didn't know whether to be happy or angry after hearing this.

It's quite a rare thing that the richest young lady in City A could be so blinded by lust that all the socialites in the city wanted to curry favor with her. It's something to be happy about.

However, his "fainting" made her walk all this way for nothing, and she was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, which really made her unhappy.

Lu Fengqing simply glared at him without saying a word.

Gu Suixing clicked his tongue, pulled the person to a shady spot, took out his phone, and called the front desk of the residence.

Lu Fengqing squinted at the front and tugged at Gu Suixing, "Is there someone over there?"

Gu Suixing followed her gaze and glanced at her. "Yes."

Lu Fengqing muttered, "Why does that person look a little familiar?"

I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

The other person seemed to notice something and suddenly looked up in their direction.

In a flash, Lu Fengqing remembered where she had seen this person before.

In that photo frame in Xie Chaowan's living room.

The man in front of her looked exactly like Xie Chaowan's first love, who had died in a landslide!

Lu Fengqing turned pale with fright and instinctively hid behind Gu Suixing.

Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

Lu Fengqing trembled as she told him about the photo frame and the story Xie Chaowan had told her.

Gu Suixing glanced at the man thoughtfully, then suddenly pulled Lu Fengqing forward, saying, "I'll take you to see a ghost."

"..." I really appreciate it.

Even though she was unwilling, Lu Fengqing was pulled over by Gu Suixing.

The man's gaze swept lightly over Lu Fengqing, who was hiding behind Gu Suixing, and he smiled at Gu Suixing, "What brings you here?"

Gu Suixing was about to speak when the flesh on his waist was pinched.

A smile flickered in Gu Suixing's eyes. She didn't contradict the young lady by saying she had led the wrong way, but simply said, "Just wander around."

Lin Shuyan nodded.

Just then, the fishing rod moved, and with a forceful pull, he lifted it up.

A fish the size of an adult's palm was hanging on the hook, its scales shimmering in the sunlight.

Lin Shuyan took the fish off the plate and put it in the bucket at her feet. She glanced up casually and saw Lu Fengqing peeking at her from behind Gu Suixing. She asked her with amusement, "Is there something on my face?"

Lu Fengqing emerged from behind Gu Suixing, "...No."

Lin Shuyan looked at Gu Suixing.

Gu Suixing explained, "She saw your black and white photo at Aunt Wan's place."

"..." Lu Fengqing couldn't help but pinch Gu Suixing again.

Lin Shuyan suddenly realized, and then laughed out loud.

He couldn't stop laughing, and for a while, his laughter was the only sound in the area.

...and the laughter sounded quite pleasant.

Lu Fengqing couldn't understand why someone was so happy to display her black and white photo.

Lin Shuyan finished laughing, pointed to his shadow on the ground, and said with a smile, "Look, I have a shadow."

Lu Fengqing looked down and, sure enough, saw the other person's shadow on the ground.

Fun fact: Ghosts don't have shadows.

So the man in front of you is alive.

Lu Fengqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

Lin Shuyan waved his hand, glanced at the fish in the bucket, and started packing his things. "That's about it for today. You guys have fun, I'm leaving now."

After everyone had walked away, Lu Fengqing tugged at Gu Suixing's arm and whispered, "What happened?"

Gu Suixing asked knowingly, "What? What happened?"

Lu Fengqing frowned, "Aunt Wan clearly said that he..."

Gu Suixing glanced at the sightseeing bus approaching from afar, then gently patted the top of her head. "Didn't you say you were hungry? Let's go."

"Oh." Lu Fengqing said absentmindedly, letting Gu Suixing pull her into the car.

Throughout the journey, she couldn't help but recall what had just happened.

Xie Chaowan said he was dead and even put his black-and-white photo in the living room, and he obviously knew about it.

So Xie Chaowan didn't know he was still alive?

Lu Fengqing only came to her senses after being led out of the car. When she looked up, she saw not her residence and restaurant, but that familiar little villa.

Gu Suixing didn't say anything, but led her towards the villa entrance.

Xie Chaowan was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard with the maid when she heard the noise. She looked up, saw them, paused for a moment, and then smiled gently, "Why are you here so early?"

Gu Suixing: "Come over for a free meal."

Xie Chaowan frowned. "Why haven't you eaten yet, it's so late?"

He stood up, instructed the servants to continue, and led the two into the house.

"Have some cookies to tide you over. There's still food in the kitchen; I'll go make you two dishes, it'll be ready soon."

Xie Chaowan placed a plate of cookies in front of the two of them and then walked towards the kitchen.

After Xie Chaowan entered the kitchen, Lu Fengqing subconsciously looked at the cabinet.

The things in the cabinet were the same as what she had seen last night, except that the frame with the black and white photo was missing.

"..."

Suddenly I felt even more scared.

Gu Suixing glanced down at her arm, which was being held tightly, and her gaze lingered on a certain spot, revealing an expression of interest. "Although I'm glad you're so clingy, I still have to remind you to be mindful of the occasion."

Lu Fengqing: "...What's wrong with hugging someone's arm?"

"Hugs are fine, but..."

Gu Suixing lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his voice also becoming softer, "You're pressing down on me."

It took Lu Fengqing two seconds to realize what was pressing down on him.

Remembering what that bastard had done in the locker room, Lu Fengqing gritted her teeth and asked expressionlessly, "You won't allow it?"

Gu Suixing: "Do as you please."

"Then why are you still talking so much!" Lu Fengqing let go of his hand, glanced at the cabinet again, and whispered, "The photo frame is gone."

Gu Suixing gave a faint "hmm".

Lu Fengqing frowned, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Gu Suixing relaxed completely, leaned back on the sofa, and said something as she wished: "If you like, I'll take some pictures for you when we get back."

"..." You're the one who likes black and white photos!

Xie Chaowan quickly brought out the food and invited the two to wash their hands and eat.

The dishes weren't lavish, just a simple three dishes and a soup.

Xie Chaowan sat opposite them, smiling as she watched them. The more she looked, the more she felt that the young couple was a perfect match.

After they finished eating and put down their chopsticks, he teased, "When are you planning to get married?"
