Chapter 867 Wanqiu, did you have a happy birthday yesterday?

Li Jinxing was very satisfied with Gu Wanqiu's obedience, even if it was just pretend at this moment.

The Gong couple were all smiles when facing Li Jinxing, but Gong Qing had a completely different reaction, with a gloomy face.

He knew that Li Jinxing was very powerful, but he was not afraid at all when facing him. His brown eyes became deep, especially when he saw Li Jinxing put his arm around Gu Wanqiu's waist and took her away, some violent thoughts arose in his mind. Before the thought could take shape, it was instantly broken up when Gu Wanqiu looked at him.

"Wanqiu...you..."

The two of them stood in front of him. Gu Wanqiu had already prepared herself mentally to face Gong Qing, but preparation is preparation and reality is reality. She still felt a pain in her heart for no reason. The calmness on her face was all fake. Her eyes seemed to be looking at Gong Qing, but her pupils were not focused and were dodging.

Gu Wanqiu said, "Long time no see. It's a bit cold outside. Can we go in and talk?"

His tone and expression seemed particularly distant, and his already red eyes became even redder. Gong Qing could hardly tell whether his eyes were sore from the stimulation of the scene before him, or from the exhaustion of looking for Gu Wanqiu all night.

He witnessed the whole process, and when he saw Li Jinxing intimately blocking Gu Wanqiu against the car door, he wanted to rush over. At that time, he was thinking that maybe Gu Wanqiu was forced.

But when Gu Wanqiu took the initiative to lean into Li Jinxing's arms, how could he explain it?

Gu Wanqiu’s swollen lips, the bruises on her neck... Gong Qing was not a young boy who knew nothing. He looked at Gu Wanqiu in front of him and for a moment he didn’t recognize her.

He stood there motionless, a gloomy mood enveloping him, as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to move, speechless, and finally heard his parents warmly inviting Li Jinxing and Gu Wanqiu into the house.

Li Jinxing suddenly said something when he was hugging Gu Wanqiu and brushing shoulders with Gong Qing.

"Are you cold? I should have let you take a hot bath before going out."

What ambiguous words.

Gu Wanqiu had to admire her own ability to accept things. She was now used to Li Jinxing saying such things. She was not even curious at all whether he could say something more explicit than this.

Madam Gong smiled awkwardly: "The heating is on inside, so it won't be cold when you go in."

Mr. Gong also agreed, "Yes, it's not cold inside anymore. Mr. Li, have you eaten yet? I asked the chef to prepare some of Wanqiu's favorite dishes."

"I've eaten, but I can still try it." Li Jinxing glanced coldly at Gong Qing behind him, "Isn't your son going to come into the house?"

"He's going in." Madam Gong looked at Gong Qing, who was standing behind with his head down and his expression unclear, and felt distressed and anxious. Would this blow be too much for Gong Qing?

"Gong Qing, come in and eat."

Mrs. Gong received the news that Li Jinxing was going to bring Gu Wanqiu here in the morning. At that time, she thought about asking the chef to prepare a table of delicious dishes. She didn't know whether it was what Gu Wanqiu liked to eat. However, Gu Wanqiu also came here to eat this year. No matter what the chef cooked, she would say it was delicious. It seemed that she was not picky about food.

Gu Wanqiu and Li Jinxing sat alone at a table. Li Jinxing looked at the dishes and pinched the back of her cold hand, saying, "After not seeing you for a year, your taste has changed a lot. I remember you didn't like mushrooms and carrots before, and you didn't like broccoli either."

"Really?" Gu Wanqiu glanced at him. "People always change. I don't like eating these vegetables, but I know they are good for my health, so I will still eat them." It was like staying by his side.

Although the past year seemed very long to Li Jinxing, no matter how much time had passed, he knew what Gu Wanqiu liked to eat, what she avoided, and what she didn't like to eat.

He still understood what Gu Wanqiu said. Using food to describe their relationship meant that compromise would never turn into liking and love.

Mrs. Gong was a little embarrassed. She had just finished saying that she had cooked a table of dishes, but she didn't expect that Li Jinxing would point out that these dishes were not what Gu Wanqiu liked.

Lunch is at two o'clock in the afternoon. The dishes were prepared at noon. In order to wait for Li Jinxing to come, they were kept in the thermal box. She didn't dare to call Li Jinxing to urge him. This made her wait for two or three hours. If these dishes were eaten right after they were cooked, they would not only lose their original flavor, but the color would also become unattractive.

This chef was specially hired by Madam Gong. His cooking skills are impeccable. Even if the food is kept for a long time, the taste will not be too bad.

Gu Wanqiu was sitting next to Li Jinxing on her left and Madam Gong on her right, who invited her to dinner.

Li Jinxing forced her to eat as soon as she got up at noon. She was not hungry at all. The dishes on the table looked okay, but she really had no appetite. It felt like there was something blocking her stomach.

If you have no appetite, no matter how delicious the food is, it will taste like chewing wax.

Gong Qing was sitting opposite him. Li Jinxing looked at him coldly, with provocation in his eyes.

He admitted that bringing Gu Wanqiu to the Gong family to demonstrate was a bit childish and unlike his usual style.

But when he thought about Gu Wanqiu being close to such a hypocritical family, and that Gu Wanqiu liked Gong Qing and used him as a substitute for a man who was inferior to him in every way, Li Jinxing was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Perhaps he wanted to demonstrate his own worth, to show Gu Wanqiu that he was better than Gong Qing. Didn't Gu Wanqiu like comparisons? Then let's compare them and see in what way Li Jinxing couldn't compare to Gong Qing.

This could be said to be the most embarrassing meal Gu Wanqiu had ever eaten. She wanted to throw away her chopsticks and stand up. She also tried her best to ignore the gazes around her.

But she really couldn't ignore the look Gong Qing was giving her.

Gong Qing was sitting opposite her. How big could a table be?

Gu Wanqiu just wanted it to be over quickly. She felt like she was on the verge of going crazy, as if she would collapse in the next second.

Li Jinxing poured a bowl of soup into her bowl, then picked up some eggplant with chopsticks and put it on her plate. These were the only two dishes on the table that she liked.

Mrs. Gong was very good at pretending to be a nice person. She asked Gu Wanqiu enthusiastically whether she was cold and whether the food was to her taste. Finally, she asked one question.

"Wanqiu, did you have a happy birthday yesterday?"

Along the way, Gu Wanqiu was patient. She even deceived herself, thinking that Li Jinxing might have threatened the Gong family, so they had no choice but to lie to her.

She was unwilling to admit that Aunt Zhou, who was usually quite nice to her, would trick her into Li Jinxing's hotel in that way, and today she pretended to be innocent and asked her if she was happy yesterday.

Should she be happy?
