In her previous life, on the day Xu Ruochu married Gu Yixiao, the unapproachable and wealthiest man she had loved for ten years, he uncovered the truth behind his ex-girlfriend's tragic death. ...
Chapter 51 Because You Don’t Understand Me
"Then what do you want to drink? I'll make it for you," he asked again.
"Whatever." Xu Ruochu said perfunctorily, "Anything is fine. I'm not picky except for the blueberry juice."
"Since you're not picky, let's try them all." Gu Yixiao said, called the waiter, and signaled the staff to bring the cocktail equipment.
Then pour other drinks into the container, finally cover it with a lid and shake it skillfully.
His manners are elegant and noble, like a gentleman. He does not look low just because of the most ordinary actions.
Xu Ruochu was stunned when he saw what the man was doing.
It turns out he can also mix drinks...
In this life, she discovered many skills of this man that she didn't know before.
"What are you thinking about? Are you surprised by my actions?" Gu Yixiao asked when he saw her standing there in a daze.
"Well, I didn't expect you to know everything."
"Really? Then drink a few more glasses." Gu Yixiao said, pouring out the apple juice in the container.
Then continue to mix another flavor of drink.
A glass of strawberry juice was quickly prepared.
Finally he mixed the orange juice.
Xu Ruochu sat there and looked at him for a long time, and suddenly had the urge to take a secret photo.
So she took out her cell phone and quickly pressed the shutter button to take several photos.
Gu Yixiao soon noticed her actions and his expression suddenly became unnatural.
He didn't like having his picture taken, and hadn't liked it since he was a kid, but he didn't stop her from taking pictures.
Xu Ruochu took two more pictures, and seeing that he didn't react, he continued taking pictures.
It feels really great to shoot in such an open and honest way!
She used to hide in the corner and take pictures secretly, but her mood is really different~
Gu Yixiao ignored her and continued to mix the drinks.
After the last bottle was mixed and poured into the cup, he placed the three drinks of different flavors in front of her and said, "Try them. Apple, strawberry, and orange flavors are for you to choose."
His voice was very low, like a feather teasing Xu Ruchu's sensitive nerves.
Xu Ruchu took a sip of the strawberry-flavored juice and found it tasted very special. She couldn't help but drink another sip.
At this time, Gu Yixiao suddenly came close to her and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Her breathing became irregular and she nodded.
Gu Yixiao's thin lips curled up slightly. "I mixed it myself. I added an invisible substance to it. It must taste better."
His voice was very soft, but it lingered in her ears like a spell, disturbing her heart.
"What was poured in?" she asked subconsciously.
Gu Yixiao moved closer and spoke slowly into her ear, "A feeling."
Xu Ruochu's heartbeat suddenly stopped and his breathing became disordered.
She looked away uncomfortably, not daring to meet his gaze.
No matter whether it is the relationship between brother and sister or something else, she will no longer take it seriously!
"What, cousin? When did you become so smooth-talking? It's not like you at all."
She pretended to be calm and teased him deliberately, then picked up another glass of orange juice and took a sip to hide her panic.
"That's because you don't understand me." Gu Yixiao narrowed his eyes and stared at her deeply.
Xu Ruchu couldn't help but turn her face away and no longer looked at him.
She didn't know what to say or what to do. She just felt the air was becoming more and more oppressive.
Gu Yixiao remained silent, with a faint smile always on his lips.
Both of them had their own ulterior motives and neither wanted to expose it.
No one can see through their thoughts.
This scene happened to be seen by Lu Beichen, who had just arrived at the bar not far away. A hint of curiosity flashed across his eyes. He hurried over and couldn't help asking:
"Yixiao, why did you bring your little cousin here? It's really strange!"
Gu Yixiao glanced at Lu Beichen and replied calmly, "Why? I own this place, can't I bring my family?"
Catching the details, Lu Beichen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and immediately put on an "I understand" expression, "Okay, okay, okay, I didn't say no~ I'm just curious, have you suddenly come to your senses?"
He looked at Xu Ruochu meaningfully again: "Cousin, you may not know this, but Yi Xiao has a good business sense. This remote boxing gym and bar makes more money than my high-end restaurant in the bustling area!"
He was praising her, but Gu Yixiao felt uncomfortable hearing it.
This guy is clearly here to cause trouble. He knows this friend...
"I don't need your praise, thank you." He said coldly.
"Oh~ What are you talking about? I'm really happy for you. Look, your little cousin doesn't even know about your extra achievement~ You have to let her know!"
"Mr. Lu, you talk too much. Are you looking for trouble?" Gu Yixiao asked coldly.
"No, no," Lu Beichen waved his hand. "I'm just happy to see you come to your senses. I don't mean any harm. Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you."
He finally fell in love with this non-blood-related sister! As a friend, I understand! Hehe...
“…”
Gu Yixiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Lu Beichen looked at him, quickly put away his playful smile, and said seriously, "OK, I won't disturb your date...for now, enjoy it. I'm leaving now!"
He deliberately paused between the two words "date" so that no one could hear it, then patted Gu Yixiao on the shoulder and turned away.
Xu Ruochu kept her head down, and it was impossible to see the expression on her face at the moment.
After Lu Beichen walked away, she raised her head and said, "Cousin, these two stores...are you really the one who opened them?"
"Yeah." Gu Yixiao nodded slightly. "It's been more than seven years now. It opened two months before you came to the Gu family."
He was rescued from the beach and after escaping death, he opened this place for himself to vent his emotions. Unexpectedly, the business is surprisingly good.
The group of people who had been picked on by someone on the roadside last time were jealous because they saw that his business was getting better and better.
"Ah, seven years..." Xu Ruchu exclaimed. "Why didn't you let the rest of the family know?"
How tiring it must be for him to manage so many employees alone! Thinking about it, she really didn't understand this man. She didn't expect that while managing the company, he also had to take care of this boxing gym and bar.
It seems that he is also working very hard.
"Don't worry, this is my own business. I can handle it myself." His voice was hoarse.
Xu Ruochu nodded.
She suddenly felt a little distressed.
One person manages several territories and still keeps them so organized.
A man like him is truly a perfect man.
Unfortunately...it was also true that he had hurt her so much in his previous life.
Thinking of this, she felt sad again.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yixiao looked at her with a suddenly strange expression.
"Ah? Nothing."
Gu Yixiao raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the music gradually became louder, and several male models with exposed abdominal muscles and several female models in swimsuits were walking on the stage.
Xu Ruochu turned around curiously to admire it.
