Gu Tingchen knew exactly what Jiang Ranran was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Suddenly he said, "Would you be willing to...give me a chance to take care of you?"
In fact, Gu Tingchen had wanted to say these words to Jiang Ranran for a long time, but he had never had the chance.
So, it has been delayed until now. Today is finally the time that Gu Tingchen can be alone with Jiang Ranran, and Gu Tingchen doesn't want to miss it again.
But the moment Jiang Ranran heard Gu Tingchen's words, her whole body froze, and the tears seemed to be forgotten in her eyes.
"You...what did you say?" Jiang Ranran asked in a daze.
Gu Tingchen smiled bitterly, "I think you should know that I have liked you for a long time. Is it because I didn't show it very obviously that you didn't notice it?"
It’s not that he didn’t show it clearly enough, it’s that Jiang Ranran never dared to think in this direction.
Jiang Ranran knew that she had three children and there was such a big difference in status between her and Gu Tingchen, so she never expected to be with Gu Tingchen.
What Gu Tingchen said today was enough to shock Jiang Ranran.
"I'm serious. If you are with me, I will definitely treat you well and... your child well." Gu Tingchen spoke again firmly.
Originally, Gu Tingchen thought about whether he could take this opportunity to let Jiang Ranran know that the child was his, but he felt that now was not the time.
Right now, Jiang Ranran has not yet recovered from the last extreme, and there is no benefit in Gu Tingchen telling her the news at this time.
After understanding what Gu Tingchen said, Jiang Ranran looked around and said, "Let me think about it carefully."
In fact, Jiang Ranran has always been a little inferior in front of Gu Tingchen. Although Jiang Ranran hid it very well and did not show it, only Jiang Ranran herself could face her own heart.
Even if Gu Tingchen was serious, the difference in their identities meant that they would never be together.
So instead of causing trouble to Gu Tingchen later, it is better to keep a distance and restrain your emotions beforehand.
Gu Tingchen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he didn't get discouraged. He stopped the car and suddenly turned to look at Jiang Ranran, his eyes full of affection.
"You don't have to be with me now, but I won't give up. I'm willing to give you time. When you have made up your mind, you can come to me at any time and be with me. You don't have to worry about anything else. I will help you solve any difficulties." Gu Tingchen said.
Gu Tingchen's love words were so sweet that Jiang Ranran's heart couldn't help but tremble, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It was already evening when the two of them had finished handling Grandma Zhang's funeral. It was too unsafe to go back at this time, so they stayed in Jiang Ranran's previous house.
Jiang Ranran came back here without saying a word and went to clean the house.
This house has not been taken care of for several years, so it looks a bit messy and dusty everywhere.
Fortunately, the house was not big, and when Jiang Ranran was cleaning, Gu Tingchen was also busy beside her, so it didn't take long to clean the house.
In fact, when Gu Tingchen saw such a room, his heart ached again.
Jiang Ranran had suffered a great deal of injustice before, but now that he was here, he would never let Jiang Ranran suffer like this again.
Jiang Ranran spread the quilt and asked awkwardly, "Where... do you live?"
There is only one bedroom in this house. Jiang Ranran, Grandma Zhang, and their three children used to live together. But now that Gu Tingchen is here, it is obviously not appropriate to sleep like this.
Gu Tingchen shrugged and glanced at the floor. "I'll live here."
Jiang Ranran still had a quilt, but after just one glance at the floor, Jiang Ranran felt that this was not appropriate.
It's already late autumn, and if you still live on the floor, you will definitely catch a cold no matter how thick the mattress is.
It was a bit awkward, but Jiang Ranran finally spoke up, "Why don't you stay on the bed too? We can just live farther away."
In fact, after Gu Tingchen confessed his feelings to Jiang Ranran, Jiang Ranran's subconscious reaction was to stay away from Gu Tingchen.
But we can't really let Gu Tingchen sleep on the floor. After all, Gu Tingchen is a CEO and has probably never slept on the floor since he was a child. Instead, he has to suffer such injustice from Jiang Ranran.
Gu Tingchen listened to Jiang Ranran's words and smiled, "Okay, then I'll obey your command."
When they went to bed at night, Jiang Ranran placed a pillow between the two of them as a dividing line, and slept alone on the far left, making sure to keep a certain distance from Gu Tingchen.
Seeing this, Gu Tingchen just smiled. This showed how much he was on guard against him.
But does this also mean that his relationship with Jiang Ranran has progressed a step further than before? Otherwise, Jiang Ranran wouldn't let him sleep in the bed.
Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran both sleep quite steadily, lying in bed without moving their bodies at night.
Just like that, I had a dreamless night.
The next day, Gu Tingchen woke up first. Seeing Jiang Ranran still sleeping beside him, Gu Tingchen did not wake her up. He went to the outer room to make some breakfast, but saw some broken glass in the outer room.
There were also some stones mixed in with the broken glass, which showed that someone had smashed the glass with stones when they were resting last night.
Gu Tingchen's expression immediately turned cold.
The good mood of yesterday suddenly disappeared at this moment, and I called Mo Cheng.
"Go and check for me. The glass in Jiang Ranran's house was broken. Find out for me who did it?" Gu Tingchen said coldly.
They were going to leave soon anyway, so it makes no difference whether such matters are investigated or not.
But Gu Tingchen just couldn't get over this hurdle.
In fact, sometimes poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. There is some truth to this. The people here bullied Jiang Ranran in the past. Now that Gu Tingchen is here, of course they have to repay them one by one.
After giving this order, Gu Tingchen went to the backyard, found another piece of glass to repair it, and then cleaned up the outside of the house.
Mo Cheng called and said that those people who had been bullying Jiang Ranran before saw Jiang Ranran coming back, so they wanted to come over and give Jiang Ranran a warning.
Gu Tingchen almost laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "You know what to do, don't let me say more."
This time, Gu Tingchen was really angry. He didn't expect that Jiang Ranran could be hurt like this right under his nose.
This is really unforgivable.
On the other side, Mo Cheng also understood what Gu Tingchen meant, and immediately asked someone to take the lead in teaching these people a lesson, especially in front of everyone in the village, to let them know that Jiang Ranran was not so easy to mess with.
