Chapter 748: So cute! (Two chapters combined)
Gu Yin was surrounded by Chu Yan's woody scent, which completely enveloped her and shut out the surrounding noise. Gu Yin felt at ease and reached out to grab Chu Yan's side.
Sensing her movement, Chu Yan tightened his grip on her arm and quickly led Gu Yin to the zebra crossing.
The short distance felt like an eternity.
"arrive."
Chu Yan's gentle voice came from above. Gu Yin paused for a moment, then slowly stepped out of his arms.
They did indeed reach the other side of the road and stood next to the curb.
Gu Yin looked back at where she had come from, feeling dazed. It turned out that this path was so simple to walk, but the two of them in their previous life had fallen to the ground and could not get through.
Gu Yin chuckled softly, then looked at Chu Yan: "Let's go~"
Chu Yan sensed that she was different from before, but he didn't ask any questions. He nodded, took her hand, and prepared to leave.
He looked up, his face darkened, and he put Gu Yin on the sidewalk and ran over quickly!
Gu Yin turned around and saw him running to the middle of the sidewalk. Gu Yin's face immediately turned pale.
Chu Yan walked through the cars that had already started moving, bent down and picked up the little girl who had run onto the zebra crossing alone. Then he reached out and pressed the button on the car next to him before quickly returning to Gu Yin's side.
Seeing that Gu Yin's face was pale, he put the girl down, looked her up and down, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened? Why do you look so pale?! Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yin shook her head and looked at the girl at his feet. She was the restaurant owner's daughter. She seemed to be frightened as well, clinging tightly to Chu Yan's leg, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful.
"I...I'm fine, I was just scared. Are you all alright?!"
Seeing her say that, Chu Yan was still worried, so he took out his phone and said, "This is the restaurant owner's daughter. I've seen her a few times before, but I didn't know she could only come here. I'll have the owner come and pick her up. If you're not feeling well, lean on me for now. I'll take you to the hospital later. You've been absent-minded and not in good spirits all night. Something must be wrong. Let's go get checked out!"
After saying that, he called the restaurant owner, who arrived five minutes later, panting heavily.
Upon seeing the restaurant owner, the little girl burst into tears, crying as if she were extremely aggrieved.
Chu Yan gave a brief explanation, and without waiting for the boss to scold or comfort the child, he immediately bent down, picked up Gu Yin, and strode away.
Gu Yin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly exclaimed, "Put me down! I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital!" Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
Chu Yan ignored her and walked to a black car, where he dropped her off: "This is the car my assistant brought. Get in, we're going to the hospital."
Gu Yin said helplessly, "I'm really fine. I just got my period and was rushing to catch a flight today, so I'm a little tired. I'll just rest when I get back. I don't need to go to the hospital."
Chu Yan paused in his hand as he opened the car door, coughed lightly, and nodded: "Then let's go back now. We won't go to the company. We can go again when we have time."
As he spoke, he came over and tried to hug Gu Yin, but Gu Yin quickly stopped him: "It's not convenient, I can walk, let's go!"
When the two returned to the hotel, Gu Shu was already asleep. After washing up, Gu Yin drank the hot drink that Chu Yan had brought, said goodnight, and went back to her room to sleep.
In her dream, events from her past life and this life kept recurring, and Gu Yin couldn't sleep well all night. She was covered in sweat and looked pained. When 001 saw her, he quickly helped to soothe Gu Yin's mind, and Gu Yin finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.
She woke up at 10 a.m. the next day, realizing she had overslept, considering the dinner party that day.
After washing up and quickly getting ready, I came out to find everyone already seated in the living room.
Why didn't you call me?
Chu Yan got up, touched her forehead, and seeing that she didn't have a fever, nodded and said, "I set my alarm for 10:30. If you don't get up, I'll wake you up then. Are you still tired?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm not tired anymore, my energy has recovered. It's already eleven o'clock. Have you sent me the address for the dinner invitation?"
Gu Hua nodded: "It was sent last night. It's at Chu Yan's hotel, a ten-minute drive away. I just asked Chen Jishen, and he and his parents have already gone there to make arrangements."
Gu Hua stayed here because of the program's arrangement, and Gu Yin and the others also stayed here because it was close to Gu Hua. So they didn't go to the Chu family's hotel. They didn't expect the Chen family to arrange the dinner there.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked at everyone and said, "Let's go over now. We'll ask the hotel to bring out a bottle of wine later and put it on my tab. We don't need to bring any gifts."
Chu Yan nodded: "I have already informed the manager."
Seeing this, Gu Qingming asked, "Do you need to wear something more formal? Wouldn't it be impolite to dress too casually?"
They didn't plan to eat out this time, so they didn't bring any clothes or accessories. It's too late to buy them now.
Gu Yin shook her head: "No need. This is just a meal, not a formal meeting. They will definitely visit our home later, so we can wear them then. Let's just treat this as a casual meal. Everyone, don't be nervous."
Seeing that he didn't need to change clothes, Gu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just that I'm afraid of embarrassing Ahua. Since we don't need to change, let's go. They're the ones who should be nervous. If they don't have a good attitude, then the two of them can forget about being together! Ahua, what do you say?"
He looked at Gu Hua as he spoke, and Gu Hua immediately declared, "I'll listen to Dad! Whatever you say goes!"
Gu Qingming felt relieved upon hearing this and hummed, "That's how it should be! Let's go! We can't keep others waiting!" With that, he took the lead and went out the door.
Li Xiang rolled her eyes, and Gu Hua smiled and took her arm: "Let's go, let's go."
When everyone arrived at the hotel, Chen Jishen was waiting at the entrance.
Seeing them arrive, he immediately greeted them with a smile: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, Zhou Shen, Brother Chu, Ashu, and Hua, you're here! Was there any traffic on the way?"
Gu Qingming shook his head: "No gambling, and it's not far. Are your parents here?"
Chen Jishen nodded repeatedly, leading the way as he said, "We just arrived a short while ago. They're waiting inside. Let's go over there now!"
The private room reserved by the Chen couple had a large round table with a diameter of 3.6 meters. When they came in, the couple was discussing the dishes to be served with the waiter.
Upon seeing them enter, the two immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles.
"I've been meaning to visit you for a while, but I've been too busy lately. I never expected we'd be able to have a meal together! Hello, Mr. Gu and Mr. Li! I'm Chen Feng, Chen Jishen's father!"
Yang Li, standing next to her, smiled and extended her hand, saying, "I'm his mother, Yang Li. No wonder Ahua is so beautiful; she clearly inherited your genes!"
Gu Qingming reached out and shook hands with him, saying, "Work is important. Anyway, the two children are still young, so there's no rush! Gu Hua's father, Gu Qingming!"
Li Xiang also smiled and said, "Your Ji Shen is good-looking too, obviously he inherited it from his parents!"
After the parents finished greeting each other, Chen Feng looked at Gu Shu and said, "This must be Ahua's older brother, Gu Shu! A student at Qingda University, not bad, not bad. I heard he's already starting a business?"
Gu Shu's usual playful face had turned serious. Hearing this, he humbly said, "Hello, uncles and aunts, I am Gu Shu. I'm just doing a little bit of fun. Compared to the seniors, it's just playing around. Please excuse my rudeness."
He shouldn't have said anything wrong! After Gu Shu finished speaking, he smiled at the two of them and then stood aside as if nothing had happened.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "That's no joke. With Young Master Chu along, how could it be a small-scale game? In the future, we might see your club members everywhere on the field! I have high hopes for you! Right, Young Master Chu?"
Chu Yan reached out his hand: "I'm also looking forward to their performance."
Finally, the two looked at Gu Yin. Chen Feng exclaimed, "Miss Zhou, we've long admired your achievements! So young, yet your strength is terrifying! We are utterly impressed!"
Gu Yin chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment. I've long admired you two! The Black and White Duo are no strangers in Beijing!"
Yang Li shook his head: "We're just businessmen! We can't compare to you! This is a great thing that benefits the country and its people! If outsiders knew we were being compared to you, they'd definitely think we're overestimating ourselves, haha. Stop standing around chatting, come sit down! Let's talk while we sit! We've already ordered the local specialties, they should be on the table soon. Take a look and order what you like. This is Young Master Chu's restaurant, I'm sure you're familiar with it, so we won't go into too much detail. It's just a casual meal! Everyone, please feel free to be so formal, it'll be too much of a formality!"
After we sat down and ordered some dishes, the manager brought over the wine that Chu Yan had ordered.
Chu Yan instructed the manager to give the wine to Chen Feng.
"This wine is from my dad's shop around here. Let's take a look at it today since we're having this meal. Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Feng took it and handed it to Yang Li next to him, saying with a smile, "I don't know much about wine, but my wife is interested in it."
Yang Li took it, glanced at it, and laughed, "This is from the top-ranked bar. I couldn't get it when I bid for it before, and your dad took it. Aren't you afraid your dad will be angry if you bring it out to entertain people? This comes from the British royal family. There are no more than five bottles left in the world! It's the kind that's priceless and unavailable!"
This stuff isn't expensive, a little over a million per bottle, but it's very rare!
Gu Qingming looked at Chu Yan upon hearing this: "Let's go to another bar. I feel bad drinking this stuff!"
Chu Yan smiled helplessly, "It's just wine, it's fine. I've already spoken to my father, and the other four bottles are also in his possession. Wine only has value if it's bought and drunk; what's the point of leaving it there? Open it!"
Yang Li lovingly touched the wine bottle: "I really opened it?!"
Chu Yan nodded: "Open."
Upon hearing this, Yang Li took out her phone: "I'd better ask your dad first! Otherwise, what if he gets sick from anger?"
After saying that, he made a video call to Chu Xiong. It rang twice before the other end answered.
"Attorney Yang, what brings you to call me? Have you resolved the online issue yet?"
Many of the legal staff at the Chu Group were recommended by the Chen couple; they also frequently had business dealings and were considered friends.
Yang Li held her phone up to the bottle: "Your young master said you agreed to open this wine? I'm afraid you might not know the truth and your heart won't be able to take it, so I'm asking to confirm!"
Chu Xiong: "...Didn't you say you were going to take the Gu family's property? How come you're at your dinner table? Are you in Haishi? My son is here too?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Li pointed his phone at the group and asked, "We're in Haishi, about to have dinner and open this bottle of wine. Do you have anything to say?"
Chu Xiong got up, grabbed his clothes, and said, "I'll be there in about an hour! Save some for me! I've been waiting for so long and haven't had any yet! I'll come over and try some! Remember to save some for me! I'm off to the airport now!" He then hung up the phone.
Chu Yan: "...It's really a bit embarrassing."
Gu Yin: "...Pfft! Hahaha, Uncle is so cute."
Everyone laughed good-naturedly!
