Chapter 218 I have a bad feeling that my brother will grow old alone.
Familiar footsteps came from the entrance hall.
Lin Wei stood up from the sofa and watched the man bend down to put on his house shoes.
He walked towards her with a gentle smile in his eyes.
He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"What's wrong?"
"You've been waiting for me at home all this time?"
Smelling the familiar scent of cedar on him, she took a deep breath and made up her mind.
"Gu Jingcheng, you went to 'Honey Color' tonight?"
Gu Wei lowered her eyes, meeting her clear gaze, and did not deny it. "Yes. You saw me?"
"I saw it." Lin Wei's voice was devoid of emotion.
"I saw you having dinner with another woman."
Gu Jingcheng sensed the suppressed jealousy in her words.
A feeling of happiness welled up inside me.
Does her jealousy mean she cares about him more and more?
He tightened his grip and explained patiently.
"It was just a casual meeting with an ordinary friend. She's helped me a lot before, and now she's come to Blue City to develop her career..."
They invited me to dinner several times, but I was always busy. Today I finally had some free time, so I went.
"An Wanrong?"
Gu Jingcheng was somewhat surprised.
"You know her?"
"I've heard some things."
Lin Wei looked up at him.
"I heard you two were once a proposed marriage alliance?"
"The elders in my family did have this idea."
However, that was a long time ago. Later, some changes occurred within the An family, and the matter was dropped.
Lin Wei's heart sank little by little; the information Pei Haoming had given her all matched up.
They were once engaged in a marriage of convenience. He put a necklace on her, and she smiled happily.
Is their old flame rekindled, just like it was between her and him?
She tried to remain calm and joked.
"It's rare to run into an old friend in Blue City... didn't you bring her any gift?"
Gu Jingcheng found the woman's feigned magnanimity despite clearly caring about something adorable.
An uncontrollable smile crept onto his lips as he lowered his head, wanting to kiss her.
"Weiwei, are you jealous?"
Lin Wei turned her head away from his kiss, the scent of another woman lingering around her nose.
My heart grew colder and colder, inch by inch.
Clinging to the last glimmer of hope, I stubbornly asked him.
"You really didn't bring her a gift?"
Gu Jingcheng's answer was as straightforward as ever, his deep eyes looking at her with such sincerity.
"No, it was just a meal with a regular friend, why would I give a gift?"
Lin Wei quietly looked at his sharply defined face.
And what has surged through my mind countless times,
The image of that gentle touch as he puts a necklace on another woman keeps overlapping, deviating, and then intersecting again...
Suddenly I felt relieved.
He didn't want to talk about it, so what could she possibly get out of him no matter how much she pressed him?
It's nothing but more lies.
But the eyes don't lie.
She saw the dazzling necklace with her own eyes, and An Wanrong made no attempt to hide her joy.
That image is more real than any explanation.
She looked at him and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was somewhat unfamiliar.
The trust that had been so hard to rebuild
Like a bubble in the sunlight, it bursts at the slightest touch, leaving no trace.
Lin Wei stepped out of his embrace.
"Okay, I understand."
-
Jiangcheng, late at night.
Gu Qingwan tossed and turned in bed, looking at her husband who was sleeping sprawled out, and felt a surge of anger.
He kicked Xie Xian in the lower back.
"Ouch!"
Xie Xian suddenly rolled off the bed and landed on the carpet, instantly waking up.
He stared blankly at his angry wife on the bed.
It makes a cute, puppy-like voice.
"Wife... what are you doing?"
Gu Qingwan sat up, her eyebrows furrowed.
"What? I asked you to do a paternity test, and you've gone and even lost your hair!"
How dare you sleep like a pig here now?
"If I hadn't been so busy lately, would I have entrusted you with something so important?"
Xie Xian got up from the ground, rubbing the spot where he had been kicked, completely wide awake.
Seeing his wife's face flushed red with anger, he instantly switched to coaxing her.
A fawning smile spread across his face, and his voice softened several degrees.
"Wife, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
I was careless, I was sloppy, I deserve a beating!
"How about... you go through the trouble again and go to that child's place... and get a strand of hair?"
I swear, I absolutely won't lose it again this time.
Gu Qingwan glared at him.
"Do you think this is some kind of exploitation? Trying to fleece us every time we catch us?"
If it weren't for a stroke of luck last time, would I have been able to get it?
Xie Xian was speechless after being rebuked. He leaned against the bed, unsure whether to stand or sit.
All he could do was wear a pained expression and beg desperately.
"Qingqing, my good wife, I know I was wrong."
Look, it's already past midnight. I have to go to the company tomorrow. Can I go to sleep first?
I'll look for it carefully again at the office tomorrow; maybe it was accidentally tucked inside one of the files?
Gu Qingwan became even angrier upon hearing this.
"You didn't bring it to the company at all; it disappeared while you were at home."
No, I feel so choked up, I feel so guilty towards my brother!
As she spoke, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.
"I always had a bad feeling that my brother would grow old alone."
We need to find him now, at least to leave him an heir.
So, in the dead of night, two people wearing pajamas...
They turned the villa upside down.
They even searched the kitchen drawers.
Xie Xian yawned repeatedly, but under his wife's "stern" gaze, he dared not utter a single complaint.
Finally, in the corner of a drawer at the very bottom of the study, where old junk was piled up, I found a transparent sealed bag.
"Honey, I found her! She's here!"
Gu Qingwan snatched the sealed bag, examined it carefully under the light, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
"...Now, at least we can finally have an explanation."
"Honey, give it to me. I'll take it for testing tomorrow. The results should be available in three days."
Gu Qingwan put the transparent bag into her bag.
"No need, I'll go myself tomorrow! I'll never trust you again..."
