He suddenly felt the car stop.
Gu Jingchen suddenly came back to his senses, and then he saw out of the corner of his eye that the car door had been opened, and Xia Xiaomo, dressed in professional attire, had pushed open the door and walked in.
"Mr. Gu."
Su An greeted Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen nodded without saying anything, but his eyes were subconsciously following her out of habit. He watched her get in the car, sit next to him, and then close the door.
He was agitated by the dream at that moment, but his heart suddenly calmed down along the way, as if the people around him had some magical power that could make him feel at ease.
The car started slowly and continued to drive towards the highway.
It will take at least a few more hours for the opening of the ship.
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything. Because he didn't sleep well, he planned to continue closing his eyes and resting.
But I didn’t think——
"Mr. Gu."
Su An suddenly called out to Gu Jingchen.
Then she took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from her bag and handed it to him.
"What's this?"
Gu Jingchen's brows tightened.
He never accepted things from others casually, and he hated it when others gave him "gifts" for some purpose.
As soon as Su An saw his expression, she knew he had misunderstood, and hurriedly opened the lid, revealing the contents.
When he saw clearly what was inside, Gu Jingchen was slightly stunned.
Su An then continued to explain, "Yesterday...your photo frame was broken. I searched online for a long time but couldn't find the same one, so I guessed yours must have been custom-made. If I make another one, it might take some time, so I picked out a similar one and wanted you to use it first. After all...I am also responsible for what happened yesterday."
She said it sincerely, her tone full of apology.
It was after she had considered it for a long time yesterday that she finally selected the most similar style within the range of what she could give her today, so as to prevent Gu Jingchen from having any grudge against her because of this incident.
Gu Jingchen's usually calm face showed a rare surprise that lasted for a long time.
He did mind the situation in yesterday's photo.
But I didn't expect that Xia Xiaomo would prepare all these.
He only showed such care and consideration to An An...
Gu Jingchen subconsciously reached out and took the photo frame.
Then he realized what he had done, his breathing suddenly stopped, and the images of two people appeared in his mind at the same time.
Then slowly merge into one.
If possible, he wished the person in front of him was An An!
But, it is undeniable that even though Xia Xiaomo in front of him has a face completely different from An An, he still feels the long-lost sense of security and peace from her.
Could it be that he really... would be attracted to this type of woman and transfer his feelings to someone else...
Gu Jingchen clenched his fists instantly, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.
But looking at the photo frame in front of me, it was as if I had suddenly realized something, and I suddenly thought of something.
He was tolerant and attentive to Xia Xiaomo.
I might even feel a little touched because of her.
Is it really just because she looks like An An?
Or... because she is like this in her own body?
And he happens to be attracted to people with such personalities?
Gu Jingchen's mind was in a mess, and it seemed as if all the characters were jumping.
Lu Ziying accused him of finding a substitute...
Ye Shaoqi also teased Xia Xiaomo like this when he first met her.
My head hurts so much it feels like it's going to explode.
Gu Jingchen's nerves were throbbing because he didn't sleep well last night, and his face looked a little pale.
But... he has already accepted the things.
And it is undeniable that the moment he saw the photo frame, he actually... felt a little happy.
Complex emotions and a sense of guilt for betraying Su An suddenly surged into his heart, making him feel a little stuffy in his chest.
Su An noticed his abnormality and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Gu, you look a little pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Jingchen nodded, then opened the car window without saying a word.
The driver in front subconsciously slowed down after hearing this and said worriedly, "Mr. Gu, there's a hospital up ahead..."
"Need not."
Gu Jingchen rejected the other party's suggestion with two words, and then said in a deep voice, "Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night, let's continue."
"Then you should rest for a while. It's still early to reach your destination."
Upon hearing this, Su An hurriedly took out a small blanket from under the seat and handed it to Gu Jingchen.
Gu Jingchen's heart warmed again because of her attentiveness, and he took it casually.
Then he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and quickly edited a message.
How is the investigation going in Country E?
Soon, a reply came from the other side.
"Mr. Gu, we are still investigating one by one, and we haven't found any information about your wife yet."
Gu Jingchen glanced at it and didn't reply. Instead, he turned off the phone and finally closed his eyes completely.
The knowledge that Xia Xiaomo was sitting next to him gradually calmed his nerves.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
Three hours later—
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?"
A gentle voice sounded in my ears.
Gu Jingchen was in a daze. When he heard clearly that it was a woman's voice, his first reaction was -
"An An!"
He opened his eyes and grabbed the hand of the person next to him!
Then he saw the person in front of him looking at him with big eyes, with a look of surprise.
Gu Jingchen was stunned for a second.
Then he reacted quickly.
He mistook Xia Xiaomo for An An again!
"Feel sorry."
Gu Jingchen quickly let go of his hand.
Su An quickly adjusted her expression and pretended to be casual as she picked up her bag, but her heart was in turmoil.
She couldn't figure out what had aroused Gu Jingchen's suspicion.
The moment his hand was grabbed and his name was called, Jian's soul almost flew away!
But……
As long as she didn't mention it, Gu Jingchen didn't seem to give any further explanation except to apologize.
Just like now.
The driver in front will also pretend not to hear anything.
Thinking about it, Su An pretended to be calm and said, "Boss Gu, we are already here. Do you need to rest for a while before going up?"
"Need not."
Gu Jingchen was completely awake. He glanced at the building in front of him and remembered the reason why he brought Su An here yesterday.
There is a magazine shoot in this building.
And her royal makeup artist——
Zhu Zhile will also be there.
Hopefully, her performance won't disappoint him.
As long as Xia Xiaomo and Zhu Zhile do anything unusual, he will not let them go!
And it is enough to prove that even if Xia Xiaomo is not An An, she definitely has nothing to do with An An as she said!
