Chapter 152 Your appearance broke my perception of him

Jian Yao's fingers on Gu Zhiyan's abdominal muscles curled up slightly.

To be honest, she really wanted to see it.

Gu Zhiyan looked at her shining eyes and coaxed her softly, "Today is different, it's a waist chain."

He held Jian Yao's fingers and exerted a little force, leading her to put her entire palm on his abdominal muscles, "Don't you like my abdominal muscles the most?"

The warm touch under the fingertips made Jian Yao's remaining rationality explode.

Her slender white fingers hooked around a shirt button.

Okay, she admitted it.

I don't just want to watch it, I really want to watch it!

…

Mingzhu's birthday party is in the evening.

The black Bentley stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Assistant Xu got out and opened the door. Gu Zhiyan got out first and then turned around to help Jian Yao.

The two followed the welcoming waiter into the hall.

Although there was still half an hour before the banquet officially started, the hall was already full of people.

When Mr. Ming and Mrs. Ming saw Gu Zhiyan coming in, they immediately took a few steps forward to greet him.

President Ming was the first to extend his hand, with an elegant smile on his face, "Ayan, long time no see!"

Gu Zhiyan politely raised his hand to shake it back, and replied with a smile, "I've been a bit busy lately, thank you for your concern, uncle."

President Ming glanced at the young couple and said jokingly, "They are newlyweds. I understand. I understand."

He is just old, not disconnected from the Internet. He must have seen some of the overwhelming trending searches on the Internet.

While Gu Zhiyan was talking to Mr. Ming, Mrs. Ming was holding Jian Yao's hand and looking at her tenderly.

Born so beautiful!

She smiled and pulled Jian Yao to sit on the sofa beside her. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She took off the Hetian jade bracelet on her hand and put it on Jian Yao's wrist.

Jian Yao was slightly stunned and was about to refuse, "Aunt, I can't accept it."

This quality of Hetian jade is very rare, and the color is obvious from the first glance, it is a beloved item that can only be cultivated by wearing it often.

Mrs. Ming immediately held down her hand as she was trying to take off the bracelet.

"When you and A-Yan got engaged, your aunt went back to Suzhou and was unable to attend. This is your engagement gift to you."

After she said that, Jian Yao couldn't refuse and thanked Mrs. Ming with a red face.

"Thank you, auntie."

The two chatted for a while, and another guest came in. Mrs. Ming asked Jian Yao to sit down first, and she went over to say hello.

After Mrs. Ming left, Jian Yao looked around.

Gu Zhiyan was surrounded by a group of CEOs, and Mingzhu was not in the hall either.

She was hesitating whether to find a corner to sit for a while and wait for Gu Zhiyan to finish his work and come to find her.

"Sister-in-law."

Jian Yao turned around and Mingzhu was standing behind her without her noticing.

Mingzhu is the protagonist today. She is wearing a light blue rhinestone tube top dress that is gorgeous and dazzling. The waist-hugging design and the puffy skirt highlight her slender waist, which is just enough to hold in one hand, pure and sweet.

She playfully glanced at her parents who were busy greeting guests, then took Jian Yao's wrist and walked towards the dressing room at the back.

"Come with me, I have something for you."

When they arrived at the locker room, Mingzhu carefully took out a brown paper envelope from her bag and handed it to Jian Yao.

Then he looked at her expectantly and enviously, and smiled, "Open it and take a look."

The envelope was very thin, and I could vaguely feel the tiny edges of the things inside through the brown paper.

Like a folded letter, or a photograph.

Jian Yao curiously opened the envelope, pinched the thin photo inside with her fingers, and slowly pulled it out.

This is a photo of Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan looked much younger in high school than he does now. He still had some baby fat on his face and his jawline was not that obvious, but he was still handsome.

The photo seemed to have been taken secretly, and the shooting angle was not good, so only his profile could be seen.

Some people seem to be born to be the protagonist.

Among the crowd coming and going on a rainy day, the young boy was alone, holding an umbrella, looking down at the rose in his hand. The melancholy atmosphere lingering around him made him look like a prince walking out of an oil painting.

In the complicated and slightly crowded picture, the very familiar bouquet of Black Buck roses in the boy's hand pierced Jian Yao's eyes like a needle.

She was very familiar with this background and this bouquet of flowers.

At the Mathematical Olympiad in her senior year of high school, she asked Wu Yue to pass the flowers to Lu Chengze.

In Gu Zhiyan’s manor, there is a bouquet of black buck everlasting flowers covered by glass.

At the time she just felt familiar and thought the flowers were similar, but now she realizes that they are from the same bouquet.

Mingzhu's gaze fell on the handsome and elegant profile of the boy in the photo, with a hint of emotion and reminiscence in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, would you like to hear my story?"

The tips of Jian Yao's fingers turned slightly white as she held the photo, and she uttered "hmm" softly.

Mingzhu held the bag tightly in her hand and spoke slowly.

"The Gu family and the Ming family are old friends. Brother Gu and I have known each other since we were very young."

"Since I was little, I loved to go to Gu's house with my brother. There were no girls in Gu's generation, so the Gu family liked me very much. They once joked that they should just arrange a marriage for us."

"At that time, I didn't understand anything and didn't know what a child marriage meant. But Brother Gu was very mature since he was a child. He refused very seriously with a puffed-up face, saying that my sister couldn't be a daughter-in-law."

Mingzhu's voice was soft and gentle, and she spoke every word clearly.

Jian Yao listened carefully and could clearly feel that Mingzhu today was more relieved and calm than the Mingzhu she met in Gu Garden.

She already knew that Gu Zhiyan and Mingzhu had known each other since childhood, but she didn't know about the child marriage, nor did she know that Gu Zhiyan had already rejected Mingzhu like a little adult at that time.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Zhiyan's profile in the photo in her hand, acting as a quiet listener.

"I have been spoiled since I was a child. This was the first time I was rejected like that. So when I was in elementary school, I angrily asked my mother to change my school and decided not to be good friends with Brother Gu anymore."

Mingzhu chuckled as she spoke of this, as if she herself found it funny. "But I didn't expect that a child's angry decision would make me completely distance myself from him."

"As the most favored child in the Gu family, he didn't need to accommodate anyone, so I didn't wait for an apology or gentle coaxing, or even for him to come to me on his own initiative."

Even just once, even if it was the young Gu Zhiyan.

She wasn't that angry at first.

But Gu Zhiyan's indifference made her sad, and she held her anger in her arms throughout elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

Every time I went to a higher school, I deliberately chose to go to a different school from his, but I couldn't help but sneak closer to him in secret.

No need to admit your mistakes, even if it's just a simple conversation?

She would return to him like a young swallow flying back to the forest.

Mingzhu recalled that on the day of her high school graduation, she excitedly ran to confess her love to him, but he rejected her coldly. She couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.

This time, she went abroad in anger.

During the years abroad, she comforted herself again and told herself not to take it to heart.

She persuaded herself that Brother Gu was such a cold person. Even though he rejected her, there were no other women around him, right?

In terms of her own qualifications, Mingzhu is confident that she can surpass any daughter in Beijing.

She was the perfect person to marry him.

Even if you can't get his heart, it's good to get the person.

But she didn't expect that he was married.

Mingzhu raised her eyes and looked at Jian Yao beside her, "You know what? Your appearance has broken my perception of him."
