Gu Boyan finally raised his head slowly, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and his dark pupils were clearer from being soaked.
Chen Nian'an was stunned, and even his cheerful steps paused.
Gu Boyan actually cried?
Yes, he actually cried. Even Gu Boyan found it outrageous. He realized it belatedly and felt embarrassed, so he turned his head away.
He took a step forward with his long legs, opened the car door and got in.
Chen Nian'an watched the car door close before walking around and getting in.
Gu Boyan sat in the driver's seat, his elbows resting on his slightly apart thighs, and his marriage certificate lay quietly on his dark suit pants.
Chen Nian'an did not fasten his seat belt obediently. Instead, as soon as he got in the car, he put his face close to him, tilted his head slightly, and looked into his dark eyes.
"Are you really crying?"
The marriage certificate appeared firmly in the palm of his hand, with Chen Nian'an's smiling eyes shining through the camera, and the red background behind the two of them reflected slightly.
Gu Boyan was stunned, like a person who had been hiking in a dry desert for a long time and suddenly came across a grand oasis with clear fresh water flowing slowly in it.
On the one hand, I was very excited and wanted to get closer, but on the other hand, I was afraid that it was a mirage, just an illusion or bubble in the void.
So that half tear appeared in his eye without any warning, even he himself was caught off guard.
But... all the subtle and complex emotions were shattered by the half-tilted curious head in front of me.
Are you really crying?
You really cry
You really
Crying...
Gu Boyan couldn't tell whether he should cry or laugh, and was speechless. He glanced at Chen Nian'an indifferently, pinched his chin and pushed her face away.
The soft cheeks were squeezed into a ball, like a cute bun, and Gu Boyan's men pushed the bun over without mercy.
"Hmm" Chen Nian'an mumbled, and was ruthlessly pressed by Gu Boyan on the passenger seat. He fastened the seat belt with one hand before letting her go.
"Gu Boyan!" Once his mouth returned to normal, Chen Nian'an shouted in condemnation.
Gu Boyan sat back leisurely, regaining his usual calmness and sternness. The moisture in the corners of his eyes seemed to have never existed, as if it were an illusion.
Mrs. Gu
The low, deep voice like a textured cello sound with a smile on his face easily soothed Chen Nian'an's dissatisfaction. Her cheeks turned red at these three simple words.
But Gu Boyan spoke very naturally, as if he was talking about the rise and fall of today's stock market.
She coughed modestly, adjusted the hem of her skirt, then raised her chin slightly and nodded as if giving a reward.
"Where are we going now?" Chen Nian'an asked uncomfortably, looking away as if to change the subject.
"Hospital" Gu Boyan started the car.
"Hospital?"
Chen Nian'an's tone rose slightly at the end, clearly expressing doubt.
"You fainted," Gu Boyan said concisely while driving.
Chen Nian'an was stunned for a second before he realized that he was talking about the short time when he was unconscious at the banquet. It couldn't even be considered a coma, to be precise.
"It's okay," she smiled and made up an excuse, "I guess I didn't eat breakfast and my blood sugar is low. It's nothing serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Boyan glanced over sharply with suspicion. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
[Low blood sugar, eating so many small cakes like a pig, don’t think I didn’t see it]
Chen Nian'an is the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. Her diet is specially prepared by a nutritionist. How could she possibly have low blood sugar?
Oops, I forgot about eating the cake secretly. I didn’t expect Gu Boyan to see it. Chen Nian’an thought he had gone out to socialize for something.
Chen Nian'an was so embarrassed that he didn't have time to care about being called a pig.
However, hypoglycemia is not entirely made up, it’s just not that serious. When I was at home, the recipes were all exquisitely matched and perfect, but I couldn’t resist my picky eating habits.
Usually, the expensive nutritional food her parents brought her would be given to Liu Xuanxuan when they were not paying attention.
She really doesn't like eating those weird things.
So it’s not surprising that my stomach is not in good condition.
Seeing that she was exposed, she blushed and pondered over a countermeasure. Gu Boyan retracted his gaze and saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised in the rearview mirror.
【Fool……】
"Gu Boyan!" This single sentence was heard clearly, and Chen Nian'an glared at him.
"what?"
“You scolded me!!”
Gu Boyan paused for a second while gripping the steering wheel, then spoke calmly.
"No"
But I feel guilty inside
How does she know?
Chen Nian'an took a deep breath and tried to calm down. If she didn't want to be exposed, she would have repeated every word Gu Boyan said.
In order to swallow the words that were about to come out of his throat, Chen Nian'an turned his head away angrily and looked out the window.
Gu Boyan breathed a sigh of relief.
The car stopped at the hospital and Gu Boyan took her for a full-body examination.
There was indeed nothing abnormal, and even a blood test showed nothing abnormal, so the two of them left quickly.
Gu Boyan raised his hand to look at his watch. It was almost two o'clock.
He pulled into the street and merged into traffic.
Chen Nian'an, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been very silent and kept his head down since leaving the hospital.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's okay." Chen Nian'an shook his head and came back to his senses.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, the doubts in his heart had already caused a huge wave of confusion.
What's going on?
If there was something wrong with the milk Liu Xuanxuan had been giving her, it would have affected her thinking and memory, leading to some confused and dull thoughts.
Then... it's impossible for the blood to be so clean that not even a trace is left.
Perhaps it was related to her rebirth. When she thought about it carefully, many details pointed to the affair between Liu Xuanxuan and Zhou Yan, but she was completely unaware of it.
Besides, Mu Xin and Gu Boyan were so nice to me, but I didn’t notice it at all.
Maybe... the medicine Liu Xuanxuan secretly gave her would affect her thinking and memory. She only needed to give a slight hint and she would be able to think along the way.
The scenery outside the window changed, the noisy downtown was left behind, the trees became lush, the breeze and sunlight penetrated the leaves, leaving beautiful light and shadows on the ground.
The car drove back up the mountain and headed towards Yunxuan Villa.
Chen Nian'an opened the window and stretched out her hand. The June summer breeze blew past, and her palms felt cool. In such a quiet scene, she slowly spoke.
"Gu Boyan"
"Hmm?" Hearing the voice, Gu Boyan tilted his head slightly. The sparse sunlight sprinkled on Chen Nian'an's profile. Her cheeks were slightly pink and her skin was almost transparent.
"Tell me, why did I hate you in the first place?" Chen Nian'an spoke in the soft breeze.
But in an instant, Gu Boyan's mood sank.
"Sizzle"
The car scraped across the asphalt road, and rough stones were bounced off the ground where the tires ran over them.
He leaned back in his chair and didn't open his mouth for a long time.
“No reason”
The tone of his whisper was tinged with unconcealable pain. He almost half-closed his eyes, his deep gaze looking through the intertwined branches outside the front glass.
Through the void, I could feel the cold and stiff feeling of standing on the floor of the Zhong family's house that afternoon.
