Chapter 32: Céline, I will take you back
The car stopped steadily in front of the Banchu Coffee Shop.
He Siyu took Ni Yang's hand and walked into the coffee shop.
The store is decorated in a modern and simple style, and soothing and gentle piano music is played in the store.
Ni Yang saw the most eye-catching mixed-race man in the crowd sitting on the sofa in the inner area.
The man also looked at her, he smiled and waved at her.
He looks very similar to when he was a child, but also not quite the same. When he was a child, he looked very clean at first glance, but now he looks a little complicated.
He Siyu also saw the man who had his love for Ni Yang carved on his face.
He bit down slowly with his back teeth, took Ni Yang's hand and took her to the inside.
Getting closer and closer, Gu Jinting didn't even look at He Siyu, his eyes were always on Ni Yang.
Walking to the table, Gu Jinting stood up and greeted Ni Yang with a smile.
"Céline, long time no see."
He deliberately called Ni Yang's French name.
Ni Yang smiled politely and nodded, "Long time no see, Gu Jinting, this is my husband He Siyu. I'm sorry for bringing him here without telling you in advance."
Only then did Gu Jinting shift his gaze to He Sixu's face, and his eyes quickly swept over their hands holding together.
He Si wanted to establish herself as the legitimate queen, so she politely and politely gave Gu Jinting a hypocritical smile.
The smile on Gu Jinting's face was superficial, but it did not reach his eyes. He stretched out his hand and placed it between the two of them.
"Mr. He, I've long heard of you. I'm Céline's neighbor and good friend in France. You can call me Charles or Gu Jinting."
He Siyu's eyes, as cold as ink, looked at Gu Jinting with contempt.
He protected the corner of the table with his palm, let Ni Yang sit on the inside of the sofa, and sat next to her.
"Sit down, Mr. Gu, you are a guest when you come to Beijing."
Gu Jinting withdrew his hand without changing his expression and sat down.
The waiter came to the table with a tablet and was about to ask what we wanted to drink when Ni Yang smiled and said, "Two velvet lattes, no sugar."
Waiter: “Okay, wait a moment.”
Gu Jinting's gaze fell on Ni Yang, his eyes were soft and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corners of his mouth.
He said to Ni Yang naturally, as if reminiscing about the past: "Céline."
Ni Yang interrupted with a smile: "Just call me Ni Yang. I haven't used the name Céline for a long time."
The tenderness in Gu Jinting's eyes froze. "Ni Yang, we've been apart for more than ten years, and you and I have become estranged. You used to chase after me and call me brother. How have you been all these years?"
He Siyu quietly pulled Ni Yang's hand that was on his leg. When he heard the word "brother", his hand holding Ni Yang tightened unconsciously.
He exudes the aura of someone who wants to overturn the table.
Ni Yang glanced at He Siyu slowly, she was still smiling politely.
"I'm doing well. I remember the Gu family's business is all in France. How come you came to China?"
Gu Jinting did not miss the interaction between Ni Yang and He Siyu. His breathing slowed down and became heavier, and his gray-blue eyes hid darkness.
"First, I came to discuss cooperation with Yi An, and second, I came to see you."
Ni Yang was surprised: "Yian?" She turned to look at He Siyu.
He Si wanted to turn around to meet Ni Yang's puzzled gaze and gently explain it to her.
"I only found out this morning that Yi An has a collaboration with the French Gu Group."
The waiter brought two cups of coffee to the two of them.
Ni Yang: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He smiled and bowed before leaving.
Gu Jinting: "Ni Yang, how did you and Mr. He meet? I was abroad when I learned about your sudden flash marriage. I was really surprised. I thought the Ni family sacrificed you for the marriage."
He looked like he wanted to speak up for Ni Yang, and his worried look was genuine.
Ni Yang just opened his mouth to explain when He Siyu suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Gu, you've crossed the line. You and Yangyang have been separated for over ten years. The friendship you had when you were little is long overdue. She just said she's doing well. Since you can see the news from back home, you should know how good your uncle and aunt are to Yangyang."
"If Yangyang is not doing well in the Ni family, is it too late for you to ask now?"
"Of course, this assumption doesn't exist. Yangyang and I met at a dinner party, and I had a crush on her the first time we met. The word 'sacrifice' is too heavy a word. My uncle and aunt can't bear it."
Every word He Siyu said was like a huge pebbles hitting Gu Jinting's disguised mask of concern.
Fine lines appeared on his face and he could no longer maintain his smile.
Ni Yang didn't pay attention to Gu Jinting. She only heard He Siyu say that he had a good impression of her the first time he saw her.
You're really good at talking. I had a good impression of you the first time we met. That's just lust at first sight.
They don't know each other well, and all they like is the face. I didn't expect He Siyu to be such a superficial man.
Well, she is also a superficial woman.
The corners of Gu Jinting's lips, which had been pulled down, rose again apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious and said something harsh."
He Siyu: "Is Mr. Gu really looking for Yangyang to reminisce about the past?"
Ni Yang looked at Gu Jinting opposite her again. Why did she feel like she was here to watch the show?
Gu Jinting: "Of course, we played together when Ni Yang was three years old. She was like a younger sister to me. It's a pity for both her and me to be separated from her for so many years."
Ni Yang: “?”
My regret with him? Why is it so ambiguous?
She said in front of my husband that she regretted being with him. She has grown up, but has no brain?
He Siyu sneered, leaning against the sofa lazily, holding Ni Yang's hand and placing it on his crossed legs.
The tip of his thumb rubbed the back of her hand.
"Since we can separate, it means we are not destined to be together. Mr. Gu, you should look forward. If you look back, you will find only desolation."
Gu Jinting's gray-blue eyes were filled with pain, his eye circles were red, and his moist and misty eyes gazed at Ni Yang gently.
In a low, hoarse voice, he said, "Ni Yang, are you blaming me for not contacting you after you left? It's because your uncle said that my presence would only cause you pain, so I didn't dare contact you. I've been silently watching over you for so many years, and I really didn't mean to avoid you."
Ni Yang frowned. Did her uncle tell Gu Jinting about this?
"I don't blame you. My uncle has no ill intentions. He just cares too much about me. Don't blame him."
Ni Yang's voice was calm and without any ripples.
Gu Jinting's chest was heaving violently, and every breath was like a knife, cutting his body to pieces. He didn't expect Ni Yang's reaction to be so calm.
He came back this time mainly for Ni Yang. He had liked her since childhood. If it weren't for that accident, Ni Yang would have been his long ago.
Why does a man who came later take the lead and hold Ni Yang's hand so intimately?
They were still wearing wedding rings. Ni Yang was his and could only be his. He didn't believe that he had no place in Ni Yang's heart.
Every night before going to bed, he would watch her videos, listen to her voice, and imagine that she was by his side, in his arms.
Céline, I will take you back.
Gu Jinting suppressed his sadness and turned into the gentle older brother he is today.
"Ni Yang, Mr. He, it's almost noon. I've booked a restaurant. Would you be able to come?"
He Si wanted to sit up straight and gently helped Ni Yang to smooth the loose hair on her cheeks to her temples.
