Chapter 116: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (27)

Just then, Liu's mother called. Wen Wan glanced at Gu Sheng and said, "I'm going out to take this call."

Gu Sheng: "Let's pick it up here."

Wen Wan answered the phone. Liu's mother asked her where she was and told her to come home for dinner. At that moment, Gu Sheng suddenly coughed, which Liu's mother on the other end of the call caught very accurately.

"Yueyue, why do I hear a man's voice? It sounds familiar."

Wen Yan: "..."

She glanced at Gu Sheng, who was definitely doing this on purpose. "Mom, you misheard. It was just a security guard passing by."

Gu Sheng: "..."

After saying a few more words, Liu's mother quickly hung up the phone. Gu Sheng then asked, "Security?"

“You started this, it’s not my fault,” Wen Wan continued. “It’s getting late, I need to go home.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng quickly tidied up her laptop. "Wait for me, I'll take you."

"No need, right? You're so busy with work, I'll just take a taxi."

But Gu Sheng still tidied up and walked towards Wen Wan, saying, "It just so happens that I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a long time, so I'll go and visit them."

Wen Yan: "..."

She was afraid her parents might not be able to handle this bombshell.

However, Gu Sheng wouldn't allow a refusal. Wen Wan got into Gu Sheng's car, and then they stopped at a fruit shop to buy some fruit. Looking at the somewhat dazed person in the passenger seat, she asked, "Are you nervous?"

"How about next time? I'm not ready yet."

"What's there to prepare for when an ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws? Could it be that you were lying to me when you said you liked me, Yue? Five years ago you left without saying goodbye, even though you promised to take the exam in the same place as me. You broke your promise. Are you going to lie to me again five years later?" Gu Sheng's eyes were hurt, and Wen Wan felt guilty. Although she was playing the villain, she couldn't change her nature and felt guilty for hurting Gu Sheng.

Let's go.

When they returned to the Liu family villa, Liu's mother, who was standing in the yard, saw the man getting out of the car and her daughter, who were holding hands and walking towards her.

What's going on?

"Gu Sheng? You, all of you?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward to greet her, "Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation. This visit was rather rushed, but I will definitely prepare a more suitable gift next time."

"Why bring fruit to the door? It's enough that the person is here." Mother Liu took the fruit and looked at her daughter: What's going on? Explain.

Wen Wan: "We're together now."

Liu's mother: "!!!"

Who was so certain just two days ago that there was no possibility between them? Just ordinary classmates? So ordinary that they've come to my door today? Hearing the commotion inside, Mr. Liu came out and was somewhat surprised to see Gu Sheng. "Gu Sheng is here. Come in and sit down."

Liu's mother quickly told her husband about her daughter's relationship with Gu Sheng, "Yueyue is dating Gu Sheng?" Liu's father was delighted. He was already very satisfied with Gu Sheng, and now that he was his son-in-law, he was even more satisfied.

Aunt Liu had prepared a table full of food and was very happy to see Gu Sheng. "Little Gu hasn't been here for a long time. What else would you like to eat? Aunt Liu will make it."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

At the dinner table, Gu Sheng took care of Wen Wan while she ate, serving her food, and all of it was her favorite dishes. Liu's parents were very satisfied.

Gu Sheng showed no signs of awkwardness as a guest, even though he had never visited the Liu family in the past five years and had only collaborated with Liu's father on one or two projects in the business world. Soon, the two began to discuss business as they talked.

Liu's mother pulled Wen Wan aside and said, "Yueyue, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Gu Sheng? Could it be that you've been in contact for the past five years?"

If Wen Wan says no, Liu's mother will probably be suspicious to death, and who knows how many questions will be waiting for her. One lie will require countless lies to cover it up.

"We keep in touch occasionally."

“I told you from the beginning why you wanted to study abroad. There was no indication of it beforehand. Now that I think about it, everything seems strange. You weren’t very happy during that time. I was confused too. How could I have agreed? You were just a child back then. It’s normal for a young girl to lack understanding and not be able to handle relationship issues. As your mother, I was too busy with work and didn’t notice. It’s my and your father’s fault.”

Wen Yan: "..."

Liu's mother even covered for her.

"I don't blame you, I've never blamed you." Liu's parents treated their daughter Liu Ya Yue extremely well, so well that Wen Wan envied them. She envied the original owner for having such a good family relationship, so she didn't want Liu's parents to end up going bankrupt.

"However, it is fate that you and Gu Sheng were able to reunite. When I first saw him, I knew that he would definitely be successful in the future. He is handsome, successful in his career, and filial. Moreover, he has not had any female confidantes in the past few years. His private life is clean, and I am very satisfied."

Wen Yan: "..."

As Liu's father and Gu Sheng chatted, they became more and more satisfied with each other, and then they even started drinking. Wen Wan watched helplessly as Gu Sheng drank Liu's father under the table, and then Liu's mother helped Liu's father to rest.

Wen Wan looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Are you alright? You shouldn't have spoiled him."

"fine."

Wen Wan noticed that Gu Sheng's face was only slightly flushed, but her eyes were still clear. "Then I'll take you home. Where do you live?"

Gu Sheng gave a familiar address, which surprised Wen Wan. "You still live there?" She thought that Gu Sheng had become successful and wouldn't still live there.

"Someone secretly paid my rent for three years, so naturally I didn't dare to move out."

Wen Yan: "..."

"You found out?"

Actually, Wen Wan hadn't expected to keep this from Gu Sheng for long, so she wasn't very surprised. Gu Sheng looked at Wen Wan and said, "I know everything you've done, including following me to the milk tea shop, to the bar, and secretly giving money to the owner. You saved my life, I knew that from the beginning, and you also saved my grandmother and Xiao Shuyun. I'm truly grateful to you. So what you said to Chu Yanran has no credibility whatsoever. I have eyes, I can see, I have a heart, I can feel."

Gu Sheng hugged Wen Wan, "If you were just trying to fool me, your acting skills are really terrible."

Wen Wan: "How did you know it was me?"

No wonder she felt the mission was going too smoothly. They offered tutoring, became deskmates, and even ate lunch together without hesitation. It turns out that Gu Sheng knew from the beginning that he was the one who saved him in the alley that day.

"I held your hand while you were asleep."

Wen Wan: "???" How come she had no idea?

"And I still remember your scent."

Gu Sheng accepted the extra memory as his own without hesitation, without any psychological burden. After all, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Gu Sheng at that time was also him.

"Why did you leave? What secrets do you have? I'll wait until you're willing to tell me. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Gu Sheng leaned against Wen Wan's neck, his breath brushing against her skin. Wen Wan blushed instinctively, "Let me go first."

"I feel dizzy, probably because I'm a little drunk."

Wen Wan was held by Gu Sheng for a while before being helped into the car. When they arrived at Gu Sheng's house, Gu Sheng took Wen Wan to see Grandma Gu. "Grandma, look who's here."

Grandma Gu looked at it and could hardly believe it. "Xiaoyue? Is that you, Xiaoyue?"

"Grandma, it's me. I've come to see you."
