Chapter 119 Together!
Wen Ning has never been a person who drags his feet.
Before, she was only focused on studying and leaving the Zhou family, and had never thought about anything else.
Later, when she learned that Gu Boyan liked her, she began to think about their relationship, but she didn't know whether it was because she had been so badly hurt by the emotional affair three years ago, or because she had a preconceived notion of Gu Boyan as a person she respected and trusted.
Therefore, she couldn't figure out whether she liked Gu Boyan or not.
But after experiencing what just happened, she figured it out. She liked Gu Boyan, very much, very much.
At this moment, Gu Boyan paused holding the chopsticks and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Wen Ning uttered an "ah," suddenly realizing she seemed a little anxious. A slight blush spread across his fair cheeks. He coughed and said, "Nothing. Eat first."
Gu Boyan originally thought that Wen Ning had encountered something outside, or that she still had a psychological trauma from being kidnapped by Li Man and others, but now looking at her blushing cheeks.
Even that night, when he confessed his love to her, the little girl didn't show much shyness.
But now...
A possibility suddenly appeared in Gu Boyan's mind. The man who had always been calm and steady like a mountain was now like a young boy. Seeing the girl he liked right in front of him, his heart beat faster and his palms were sweating.
He put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not hungry yet. Let's talk first."
Wen Ning said "oh" and looked up at Gu Boyan. Just as he was about to say the four words he had prepared long ago, he retreated when his eyes met the man's dark and deep eyebrows.
She bit her lip and said, "How about you eat first and let me think about it."
Hearing this, Gu Boyan couldn't help but chuckle from his throat.
Inexplicably, the blush on Wen Ning's face became more pronounced, but she herself was unaware of it and simply asked, "Why are you suddenly laughing?"
"When I look at the person I like, I can't help but want to smile." Gu Boyan said very honestly.
Wen Ning looked at Gu Boyan. Due to the shoulder injury, he had lost a lot of blood and energy, so his skin looked very pale, but this did not affect his handsomeness at all.
The scene of the first time I saw Gu Boyan emerged in front of my eyes. He was tall and graceful, handsome and elegant. Compared to the teacher, he really looked more like a male model.
The comment he made when he first saw Gu Boyan came to mind, and Wen Ning couldn't help but laugh.
Her eyebrows are curved and her smile is bright.
Gu Boyan's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he used all his strength to barely suppress the surging restlessness in his heart.
After a long while, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Ningning, you smile so brightly and beautifully. Could it be that the person you like is right in front of you?"
"Yeah, when I look at the person I like, I can't help but want to smile." At this moment, Wen Ning no longer had the shyness he had before, and he became frank.
The frank Gu Boyan was obviously stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wen Ning looked at him, took his hand and said, "Ayan, I've figured it out. I like you."
Gu Boyan instinctively turned his hand back and grasped Wen Ning's hand tightly in his palm, their skin touching and their temperatures blending.
It is a very real feeling that the person he likes also likes him.
But perhaps because Wen Ning spoke so frankly, Gu Boyan couldn't help but become curious, "How did you suddenly realize that you like me?"
Listening to this question, Wen Ning felt that it was intentional for some reason, as if Gu Boyan was using this question to deliberately emphasize the fact that Wen Ning liked him.
Wen Ning's cheeks turned even redder, but he said obediently, "Because you're injured."
Injuried?
Gu Boyan subconsciously looked at his shoulder, and the layers of white gauze revealed the severity of the knife wound.
The original joy became somewhat complicated because of Wen Ning's concise answer.
Wen Ning, however, was completely oblivious. Seeing that Gu Boyan was still in a daze and hadn't eaten, he hurriedly urged him, "Okay, that's all I have to say. Come on, eat. You've lost so much blood, you need to make up for it quickly."
Wen Ning has been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child, so he firmly believes in the idea of replenishing qi and blood.
"I didn't find any Chinese medicinal herbs abroad, so I only ordered some food at a Chinese restaurant that helps replenish qi and blood. Eat more. When we return home, I'll make you some medicinal food, and the lost qi and blood will be replenished quickly."
Gu Boyan looked at Wen Ning, who was concerned about his health, and breathed a sigh of relief, but still held her hand.
"Don't worry, Ningning, there's something we haven't made clear yet."
A trace of confusion flashed in Wen Ning's eyes. He liked her, and she liked him. Wasn't that clear enough?
Suddenly, a widely circulated saying on the Internet popped up in Wen Ning's mind: liking someone wasn't enough; a formal invitation to be a lover had to be issued!
She knew there was something missing!
Therefore, his eyes became more serious, and he said, "Ayan, I like you. Will you let me be your girlfriend?"
Even though Gu Boyan was always calm and composed, he couldn't help but be thrown off guard by Wen Ning's words.
He never expected that the invitation to confirm their relationship would come from Wen Ning.
For some reason, Gu Boyan felt as if his male self-esteem was being frustrated.
However, he has never believed that male dignity is inherently superior to female dignity. He likes Wen Ning and loves her, respecting and loving her as his future wife with whom he will spend the rest of his life.
A helpless and doting smile appeared on his face, which had just become a little heavy, but he had to ask about things that needed to be clarified in advance.
"I should be the one asking you this, Ningning. Do you want me to be your boyfriend because you truly like him or because you feel guilty about taking the knife for you?"
Gu Boyan's words were very straightforward and simple.
When Wen Ning heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Ningning, I like that you regard you as my future wife, someone I can spend my life with."
"If you say you like me because I tutored you for three months, or because I defended you in front of the Zhou family many times, or because of the previous incident of me blocking your back, I won't accept that reason."
"Ningning, I don't want me to be a benefactor in your heart instead of a lover."
Of course, even if Wen Ning still wanted to regard him as a benefactor, Gu Boyan would not give up on Wen Ning. He might just use more drastic methods to change his image in Wen Ning's mind.
Wen Ning looked at Gu Boyan quietly for a long while before speaking slowly.
"Ayan, do you remember what I just said, about my feelings for you, it took me a long time to figure it out?"
Gu Boyan nodded.
"I used to have doubts too. I can't deny that I really admire you. I've always regarded you as my guiding light. I also doubted myself that I wanted to stay with you because I was too dependent on you."
"So, I'm not sure what my feelings are towards you."
"But until you got hurt this time," Wen Ning said, his smiling face now showing a hint of indissoluble sadness. "Ayan, I feel so bad."
"Seeing you hurt, my heart aches as if it's about to break. I wish I were the one getting hurt instead of you."
"I don't want to see you get hurt, not at all."
Wen Ning felt a little breathless just thinking back to the moment he saw the hideous wound on Gu Boyan's shoulder.
Tears gushed out from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Boyan was stunned, and could no longer restrain himself and reached out to hug Wen Ning tightly in his arms.
True heartache comes from a deep understanding and empathy for the situation of the person you love.
Just like when he learned about what happened to Wen Ning, he wanted to tear down the Zhou family and the sanatorium with his own hands and take his own life.
Because of like, because of love, it is not sympathy, but heartache.
"Okay, Ningning, be good. I won't say any more. I know. I know everything."
Wen Ning leaned into the man's arms, "Ayan, trust me, I can protect myself. Don't get hurt protecting me again."
Gu Boyan lowered his head and looked into the girl's red eyes, his feelings of pity and love almost overflowing from the bottom of his heart.
He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
When their soft lips touched, a completely unfamiliar feeling instantly swept over her body, a little numb, a little tingling, and a little...
The next second, the door was suddenly slammed open from the outside.
Peng Zeyu's noisy voice exploded in the quiet air.
"Brother Yan, you can't die. If you die, how can I live? Hey, what are you doing?"
Wen Ning was also startled by the sudden movement. He quickly broke free from Gu Boyan's arms and took two steps back to put some distance between them.
Only then did he have time to look up at the door.
The man was wearing a shirt with a familiar pattern, and he looked elegant and suave. It was Peng Zeyu.
Wen Ning opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Gu Boyan's reaction was even more understandable. His face instantly darkened, and he growled through gritted teeth, "Get out!"
Peng Zeyu immediately cried out, turned around hastily, and shouted, "Get out of here, get out of here! You guys keep going! I won't be a third wheel."
It was her first kiss to be interrupted like this. Wen Ning didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt her lips were slightly moist, as if the man's tongue had licked hers...
Wen Ning bit his lip subconsciously and said, "No need, you guys can chat. I'm going out to look for Corris."
Having said that, Wen Ning didn't look at Boyan anymore and walked straight out.
At this moment, Peng Zeyu was even more shocked. "No, you two are developing so fast that you even have a child!!!"
Wen Ning paused, his face tense, his peach-colored eyes filled with speechless silence, "You think too much."
After saying that, he didn't explain anything further and closed the door with a click.
Only Gu Boyan and Peng Zeyu were left in the ward.
Peng Zeyu was just about to go over to Gu Boyan to find out some gossip, but when he met the man's dark and gloomy gaze, his body shook and his mind instantly became clear.
Gu Boyan and Wen Ning had known each other for only half a year, and he was really overthinking it to have a child in half a year.
Peng Zeyu coughed twice, apologized first and then explained.
"Brother Yan, I really didn't mean to interrupt you. It's all because Special Assistant Wang told me you were dying. I was just worried about you."
Gu Boyan didn't believe a single word of this.
However, he and Wen Ning are now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so if they want to kiss, there are plenty of opportunities.
Therefore, Gu Boyan said directly, "You came here at the right time. Go and help Special Assistant Wang deal with the Li family's affairs."
Gu Boyan will not stay in Country A for too long, so the sooner the Li family’s affairs are dealt with, the better.
Peng Zeyu arrived at the right time.
Peng Zeyu's smiling face froze. He pointed at himself in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Me?"
You know, he originally made an excuse to slip away because he wanted to avoid working in the family business.
And now we tell him that he came all the way to Country A and is still being treated like a slave?
Gu Boyan sneered, "Otherwise, do you think that disturbing Ning Ning and me can be let go so easily?"
Peng Zeyu was furious. He knew that brothers were like limbs and women were like clothes. Gu Boyan was a guy who valued women over friendship!
But he was only angry for half a second. Soon, Peng Zeyu chuckled and said jokingly, "When we first met a few months ago, you asked me to call you classmate Wen. Now, how long has it been, and you want me to call you sister-in-law? Brother Yan, you are still the best at playing."
As he spoke, Peng Zeyu nonchalantly raised his thumb, with a teasing look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Gu Boyan lowered his eyes and said, "Call me sister-in-law, don't add any messy prefixes."
Peng Zeyu blinked and pretended to be innocent and said, "Sister-in-law sounds very cute."
"Do you think it's appropriate to call the future wife of the Gu family's head sister-in-law?" Gu Boyan looked at him with a slight curl of his lips.
Peng Zeyu was stunned and looked at Gu Boyan in disbelief.
He never doubted Gu Boyan's feelings for Wen Ning, but he always believed that love is love and marriage is marriage.
Especially for people like them who come from big families, marriage is tied to the development of the family, and there is basically no possibility of free love.
So, he wished Gu Boyan and Wen Ning well in their present, but never thought about their future.
Peng Zeyu couldn't help but look serious, "Brother Yan, isn't it too early for you to make this decision?"
You have to know that the future wife of the head of the Gu family, one of the most powerful and wealthy families in Beijing, the meaning behind this title has attracted countless people.
If those people knew that the position of the headmistress's wife had already been taken, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what kind of trouble would arise.
However, Miss Wen is not a simple girl. Who knows, there might be a lot of excitement in Beijing at that time.
Gu Boyan curled his lips and said, "It's not early. I think it's too late to meet Ningning."
Listening to this love-brained speech, Peng Zeyu finally understood that his brother Yan was really in trouble!
At this time, Wen Ning found Corris in the corridor outside.
Wen Ning naturally packed a meal for him, but as a native of Country A, he declined Chinese food and preferred hamburgers and bread.
Wen Ning didn't try to persuade him to change his eating habits. He just sat quietly beside him, thinking over and over again about what had just happened and that kiss...
At this moment, a cell phone rang and Wen Ning picked up the phone immediately. It was Zhou Qinghe calling.
