Chapter 190 If one day she is unhappy, she will give up
Gu Zhiyuan started to cheat and cheat, and began to frequently go to Shen Xubai's villa.
But she doesn't come every day. She comes once or twice during the week and every day on weekends.
Sometimes I bring him some desserts or a bouquet of flowers, and sometimes I buy food and ask him to cook.
Shen Xubai didn't even have the chance to refuse.
Even Hao Yunlai was familiar with this place. As soon as he arrived, he went to the lawn to roll around happily, as if it were his own home.
When Gu Zhiyuan walked in with a bouquet of tulips in her arms, Shen Xubai was talking about work with Luo Yan in the living room. She did not disturb them, but quietly slipped aside and took out a vase to arrange the flowers with ease.
Shen Xubai was sitting on the sofa. He caught a glimpse of her figure from the corner of his eye, paused, then looked away and continued talking to Luo Yan.
Until they heard the sound of running water nearby, they could no longer ignore her presence and turned to look over.
Gu Zhiyuan paused what he was doing: "Did I disturb you? I'll do it later."
Luo Yan withdrew his gaze and suddenly realized. No wonder he hadn't seen Miss Gu coming to the company these days. It turned out that she came directly to Mr. Shen's house.
Although I knew last time that the two of them lived in the same villa complex, but since Gu Zhiyuan was so familiar with the place and Mr. Shen was so calm, I'm afraid this wasn't their first time here.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xubai secretly. He looked like he was used to it.
Luo Yan was shocked. How far had things progressed between the two of them? Were they already living together? Should he change his tune?
He was thinking wildly and couldn't control his expression. When he looked up, he met Shen Xubai's cold gaze.
He quickly lowered his eyes: “Boss Shen, that’s about it.”
"Well," Shen Xubai responded, "Let's talk about it at the meeting on Monday."
"Yes, then... I'll be leaving first."
Luo Yan left tactfully. Just as he reached the door, he heard Gu Zhiyuan's sweet voice.
"Chen Xubai, look at the flowers I bought today, aren't they beautiful?"
Shen Xubai said something in a low voice, so he didn't hear clearly. Just as he raised his foot to continue walking, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a small white ball quickly jumped over and went into the house.
Luo Yan looked back and heard the exclamations and laughter inside. He lowered his head and smiled. Mr. Shen's house seemed to have suddenly become lively and bustling.
…
Gu Zhiyuan actually had a purpose in coming to see Shen Xubai today.
She looked at Good Luck rolling at her feet and asked tentatively: "Chen Xubai, can I leave Good Luck here with you to help me take care of it for a day?"
"I have to go home tonight, but my mom is allergic to dog hair, and it's hard for me to carry Good Luck back and forth. Can I leave him here with you for just one day?"
Gu Zhiyuan actually had her own little thoughts. She could see that Shen Xubai seemed to like dogs very much. Leaving the dog with him gave her an excuse to find him and also allowed her to cultivate the father-son relationship in advance.
"I'll bring his bed and dog food. It's just for one night. I'll pick him up tomorrow."
Shen Xubai was still hesitating. Gu Zhiyuan clasped his hands together and looked at him eagerly: "Please, Shen Xubai, please..."
Facing her pair of clear and bright eyes, Shen Xubai felt that if he didn't agree, he would be committing a heinous crime.
"We are so familiar with each other that we can be considered friends at least. At worst, we are neighbors. You can't just stand by and watch someone die. Even good luck will make you sad."
"Woof woof!" Hao Yunlai heard the name and rubbed his tail against Gu Zhiyuan's legs.
Shen Xubai smiled helplessly: "It seems that I have no choice but to agree."
Gu Zhiyuan muttered softly: "I didn't put a knife to your neck to force you."
Shen Xubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I refuse?"
"No!" Gu Zhiyuan said confidently, "You've already agreed."
"How can you, the president of the Shen Group, go back on your word? How can your partners be assured?"
Shen Xubai looked at her righteously putting the blame on others, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, he lowered his head to look at Hao Yunlai who was rolling on the ground and acting cute, it was true that dogs follow their masters.
As if afraid that Shen Xubai would go back on his word, Gu Zhiyuan quickly asked someone to help move Hao Yunlai's doghouse and dog food over, as well as its toys.
He even thoughtfully wrote a note to Shen Xubai about Good Luck's habits and three meals, as well as some precautions.
After finishing all this, Gu Zhiyuan picked up Good Luck, rubbed its head, and whispered, "You should get used to your future home first. You will have to move in sooner or later anyway. Mom will go back to see your grandparents and come to pick you up tomorrow. You have to listen to Dad..."
After settling in, Gu Zhiyuan took a taxi back to the Gu family. Today was Gu's father's birthday, and there were many people at home, but Gu's father had always been low-key. Only relatives came, no outsiders, just a simple meal together as a family.
Gu Zhiyuan took a photo and sent it to Shen Xubai: [There are a lot of people at home today. How is Good Luck? Is he obedient?]
Shen Xubai also took a photo and sent it to her. Hao Yunlai was chasing the ball on the lawn, his mouth almost grinning behind his ears.
Gu Zhiyuan felt that the man and the dog got along well, but she also felt a little depressed that this heartless guy didn't even miss her.
【Hasn’t good luck come to me? 】
Old man: [No]
Gu Zhiyuan: [Can you ask it if it misses me?]
Shen Xubai: [……]
Gu Zhiyuan raised the corner of his lips slightly: [Do you miss me? ]
Shen Xubai didn't reply.
Gu Zhiyuan continued teasing him: "Are you shy? Good Luck Lai can't speak, but you can too. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Chen Xubai replied with a period, and Gu Zhiyuan happily put away his phone, his daily flirtation complete.
"Zhizhi is texting with her boyfriend and smiling so happily?" asked Gu Zhiyuan's aunt at the dinner table.
Gu Zhiyuan immediately put away his smile: "No."
"Zhizhi, it's time for you to find a love relationship. If not, I know quite a few talented young men. Could you introduce some to me?"
Gu Zhiyuan smiled politely: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm still young, there's no rush."
"You're not young anymore. When I was your age, I had children. I'll go back and think about it. I'll make sure I pick something that suits your taste."
"I don't……"
Just as Gu Zhiyuan was about to speak, her mother held her back, patted her hands, and said with a smile, "Zhizhi is our only daughter, and we'd like to keep her for a few more years. Someone wanted to introduce her to someone else before, but her father and I couldn't let her go. Whose family would be as comfortable as your own?"
"Today's soup is delicious. Sister Li, give me another bowl. Drink more to replenish your body."
The topic was thus over.
At night, Gu Zhiyuan was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone. Shen Xubai sent her a photo of Good Luck sleeping. She was thinking about how to reply when there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in." She turned around.
Mother Gu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her lying on the pillow with her legs up, playing with her phone, she raised her hand and patted her: "I've told you so many times that this hurts your eyes."
Gu Zhiyuan smiled and acted coquettishly: "Just for a moment."
Mother Gu sat down beside the bed and smiled at her.
Gu Zhiyuan pulled the quilt over her and said, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. It's frightening to see you looking at me like that."
"What nonsense is this kid talking about?"
Mother Gu looked at her and said slowly: "Are you still chasing after Mr. Shen?"
Gu Zhiyuan: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Mother Gu glanced at her and said, "Still pretending to be nice to me. I gave birth to you, don't I know your personality?"
Gu Zhiyuan blinked: "Why, you're not going to break up the couple?"
"Mandarin duck? Can a little mouse like you catch up with it?"
Gu Zhiyuan was so angry that she sat up and said, "Am I your biological daughter? How can you say that about your own daughter?"
Mother Gu smiled and said, "It's possible that he picked it up on the roadside."
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I just want to ask you, do you really like him that much? And what about him, does he like you?"
Gu Zhiyuan pursed her lips: "Aren't I still pursuing you?"
"What if I can't catch up?"
Gu Zhiyuan quickly spat three times: "Mom, please don't curse me."
Mother Gu patted her head and said softly, "That Mr. Shen is indeed excellent. There are few better people in the entire South City. Your father and I have no intention of disagreeing."
"But he's several years older than you, has more experience, and may have different habits and hobbies than you. You're always following him around, but what if he still doesn't like you in the end?"
"What are you going to do then?"
Gu Zhiyuan lowered his head: "If he really doesn't like me, then forget it. Can I force him? Otherwise, let my dad put pressure on him and let him marry into our family directly."
Mother Gu raised her hand and tapped her on the forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can your father do this?"
"I'm not kidding."
Mother Gu looked at her helplessly and said earnestly, "Mom just wants to tell you that there's nothing wrong with bravely pursuing the person you like. You won't regret it until you try."
"But you must remember that you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Never lose your pride."
"If you get hurt one day, remember to come home. Mom and Dad will always be your safe haven."
"Why are you suddenly so sentimental?" Gu Zhiyuan reached out to hug her mother, buried his head in her arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I know, Mom. I know my limits."
She likes Shen Xubai, but she will never hurt herself and her family because of it.
If one day she feels unhappy, she will give up.
