Chapter 198 Little Liar, I've Seen You Before
Cui Shao snorted, but it didn't sound like a smile, more like anger. "I was the one who asked you first, why are you asking me now?"
He glanced at the stairwell where Gu Nan ran up. There was nothing unusual, and no one was chasing him. "What happened that made you so panicked?"
"I have to pee urgently." Gu Nan used his all-purpose reply and made up something.
When people are nervous, they want to pee. Now my heart is jumping like Peppa Pig stepping in a mud puddle.
Yu Ming's network of contacts is so wide that he can even sneak into a banquet like this.
Gu Nan's face was tense, and he stamped his feet a few times, "Are you okay? No, I need to go to the bathroom. You almost scared me to pee just now."
Look at you, you are wearing a beautiful dress and you are peeing with your mouth open and closed. Is that appropriate?
Cui Shao was choked by her.
The man in military uniform standing next to him also frowned. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was not as sharp as before, but rather a little surprised, as if he didn't expect her to be so unconstrained.
Cui Shao covered his forehead with his hands, looking helpless. "Go ahead, walk slowly, and remember to come back later."
Gu Nan made an OK gesture, picked up her skirt and ran away.
Cui Shao looked at Gu Nan's running back and sneered, "Little liar."
There was gnashing of teeth between the words, but the tone was so intimate that it was hard to tell whether he was annoyed or amused.
Xue Mingqian couldn't help but glance sideways, "You two seem to have a good relationship."
"Not bad." Cui Shao retracted his gaze, a lazy smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he lowered his eyes to look at the hall with a somewhat indifferent look.
The old lady was wholeheartedly on Qi Yan's side, fearing that he would show up in front of Gu Nan even for a moment. She sent him away last night at the last minute, and he missed the reunion dinner and almost missed the dinner party.
But God has eyes. Just as he went up to the second floor and was about to look for her in the crowd, she bumped into him.
However, the next second, his eyes fixed.
Why is Lin Jingchun here?
And he looked around, as if looking for someone.
Gu Nan ran away in a panic, and Lin Jingchun was looking for someone right under his nose. If there was nothing fishy going on, he would be so stupid as to eat shit while standing upside down.
The old lady personally drew up a list of people, most of whom were from the military, government, and business circles. How could she let Lin Jingchun in?
Feelings are only guarded against him.
Cui Shao sneered, called the waiter, gave him a few instructions, and then went downstairs.
After Gu Nan went to the toilet, he came back sneakily and saw that Cui Shao was gone.
Just as she was about to leave, Xue Mingqian stopped her, "Cui Shao met a friend and asked you to wait for him here. He will be back soon."
Gu Nan then lingered back, stood far away from the handrail, and hid in the darkness of the corner.
At the same time, keep your eyes and ears open in all directions.
Xue Mingqian's eyes kept falling on her. Seeing this, he took two steps back and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The voice is low and magnetic, slightly thick, and it is a very mature and powerful voice. When it is deliberately lowered, it sounds like a subwoofer playing next to your ear.
Gu Nan was caught off guard and his ears felt numb.
He retracted his wandering gaze and happened to see the protruding Adam's apple gently moving against the collar embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns, and the epaulettes with two bars and one star on the shoulders reflecting a cool green light.
Gu Nan raised his eyes and met his inquiring gaze.
His eyes were bright, like a flashlight suddenly lit up in the dark mountains. All darkness would be exposed under this righteous and fierce gaze.
He was already tall, and his straight and neat military uniform made his broad shoulders look even broader. It was tightened from the shoulders down, and the black belt showed off his narrow and sturdy waist. The white military pants wrapped around his tight thighs and slender calves. The cowhide military boots were cold and hard in color, which made him stand out from the men's leather shoes in the room.
This was the first time Gu Nan met a man with such a sharp temperament.
Wrapped in military uniform, he looks mighty and majestic.
It feels hard and prickly at first glance.
"No, thank you." Gu Nan said.
Xue Mingqian noticed Gu Nan's momentary distraction and thought he had scared her, so he pursed his lips slightly.
He was well-known in the army for being ruthless and cold-faced. His soldiers were afraid to speak in front of him, and the commanders also told him to stop being so stern and show some humanity.
His family members were even more blunt, saying that the reason he was still unmarried at the age of 30 was because of this dark face.
A blind date is like going to the battlefield. When he is silent, he looks ferocious, and when he speaks, he is like a judge. Not to mention when he gets angry, those with a weak heart will be scared to death by him.
Which girl would dare to live with him under the same roof day and night?
As for the fact that he had been in the army for many years and had no chance to spend time with them?
Don’t even mention it. Who wants to get married and then be a “widow”? To put it bluntly, they are so busy that they don’t even have time to sleep together.
Cui Shao often rejects blind dates. He is often rejected by blind dates. In his entire life, he has never had the chance to buy two movie tickets.
The two of them standing together are like the North and South Poles that are always repelling each other, but they are friends who have grown up together. It's outrageous.
“…”
He pursed his lips, and because of his heavy mood, his expressionless face was as dark as if it was going to rain.
Gu Nan: “…”
Does he look a little impatient?
Thinking that he was speaking out of kindness, Gu Nan said, "Go ahead if you have something to do. I won't bother you."
Xue Mingqian: "Nothing to do."
Gu Nan: "Oh."
The two fell silent again.
Xue Mingqian lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan looked left and right, and finally looked up at him.
The two of them stared at each other.
Xue Mingqian is really cruel when he stares at people.
Gu Nan was fine originally, but he felt guilty after being stared at by him.
He started looking around again, thinking about just letting Cui Shao go and running away.
Xue Mingqian seemed to have discovered her intention and broke the silence, "I've seen you before."
Gu Nan was surprised, "Really? When?"
Xue Mingqian said: "At Lifang People's Hospital, your hand was injured."
Gu Nan subconsciously raised his left hand. The wound on the back of his hand had broken once, leaving a scar, which made the skin on both sides of the wound look a little unnatural.
Gu Nan had no impression of Xue Mingqian. "Shouldn't you be in the army at that time?"
"After the award ceremony, I had two days off and went to visit a friend in the hospital."
Gu Nan looked at his epaulettes, two bars and one star, the rank of major, young and promising.
Gu Nan said sincerely: "Very impressive, congratulations."
Xue Mingqian seemed to be bubbling inside, but his face showed no sign of it, and he was still freezing cold.
He was about to say something when Cui Ce's voice suddenly came from downstairs.
He was the one hosting the scene.
Gu Nan's expression brightened up, as tonight's banquet was finally entering its main event.
After taking two steps to the handrail, he saw Qi Yan and Old Madam An.
Qi Yan was sitting in a wheelchair, with Mrs. An and Cui Mingzhu and her husband standing beside him, and Cui Yue and Cui Shuangshuang behind him. Several representative characters appeared.
Gu Nan's heart was pounding.
Glancing at the hall, everyone's attention was drawn to Cui Ce and no one was looking upstairs, so he waved vigorously at Qi Yan.
