Chapter 22 Girlfriend?
How did they end up together?
A sense of loss spread through his heart and enveloped him.
This is a couples' restaurant; Gu Jingcheng's intentions are obvious.
Shi Yanzhou gripped the menu, trying to control his emotions, but his gaze involuntarily followed them.
Gu Jingcheng considerately pulled out a chair for Lin Wei and sat down opposite her.
The two acted like a couple...
"Brother Yanzhou?"
Seeing that Shi Yanzhou had not moved for a long time, Su Wan gently called to him.
Shi Yanzhou turned his gaze back and handed the menu to Su Wan.
"Order whatever you like, I'm fine with anything."
Su Wan took the menu and followed the man's gaze.
My heart sank suddenly.
It's Lin Wei. No wonder he was so cold to her.
"Brother Yanzhou, shouldn't you go over and say hello?"
Su Wan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible probing.
Shi Yanzhou glanced sideways, avoiding Su Wan's gaze.
"We'll eat our own food."
And at the other table.
Gu Yinuo's mouth watered as she looked at the Häagen-Dazs ice cream on the menu.
"Uncle, can I have two ice creams today?"
"no."
Gu Yinuo wilted like a lowly eggplant and muttered under her breath.
"Hmph, Uncle is a bad guy."
I immediately remembered what my mother had said: when inviting a girl to dinner, you should let her order first.
He stretched out his chubby little hand and tried to push the thick menu toward Lin Wei.
"Weiwei, order whatever you like, it's on my uncle's treat!"
That mature-for-his-years demeanor made him look exceptionally adorable.
Lin smiled and nodded, focusing her attention on the menu.
Restaurants like "Starry Shore" have romantic names for their dishes.
"Romantic Encounter" Salad, "Flying Together" Chicken Wings, "Eternal Love" Pasta...
Lin Wei frowned frequently as she watched.
She deliberately avoided dish combinations that could evoke ambiguous associations.
We ordered two signature steaks and a children's meal for Gu Yinuo.
"Yay! French fries!"
Gu Yinuo immediately wiggled her little bottom happily.
Her chubby face beamed with a smile brighter than any flower.
The waiter took down the dishes.
"Would you like to receive a complimentary dessert for couples?"
"Can."
"No."
The two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and the waiter looked embarrassed.
"I want it, I want it!"
Gu Yinuo held up her chubby little hand, her eyes sparkling.
We're halfway through the meal.
Gu Yinuo's little mouth was stuffed full, like a happy little hamster.
The chubby boy swallowed the food in his mouth and stood up impatiently.
She leaned over the dining table, grabbed Lin Wei's wrist with her small hand, and shook it.
"Weiwei! How about Nuonuo treats you to ice cream tomorrow?"
I know a restaurant that's incredibly delicious!
He shook it so hard and fast that his little paws, which were bracing themselves on the edge of the table, knocked over the orange juice next to Lin Wei!
The glass tipped over, and the orange-yellow liquid instantly spilled onto Lin Wei's dress!
Feeling the cold touch, Lin Wei hurriedly got up.
Gu Yinuo's smile froze on her face, her small mouth slightly open.
Gu Jingcheng suddenly stood up, picked up a napkin, and walked around to Lin Wei's side.
A figure appeared beside Lin Wei even faster than him!
Shi Yanzhou took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Lin Wei's shoulders!
Are you alright?
Gu Jingcheng's eyes darkened as he stared at Shi Yanzhou's hand on Lin Wei's shoulder.
The jawline is tight.
"Yan Zhou, you're on a date with your girlfriend but you're still taking care of other women?"
A subtle atmosphere filled the air.
Lin Wei frowned; she could detect a hint of jealousy in Gu Jingcheng's tone.
How is that possible?
She instinctively rejected this absurd idea.
Standing a few steps away, Su Wan gripped her handbag tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white.
She knew Lin Wei, Shi Yanzhou's childhood sweetheart.
"Brother Yanzhou, let President Gu take care of President Gu's girlfriend."
The foie gras I ordered for you will get cold if you don't eat it soon.
The air seemed to freeze. Shi Yanzhou ignored Su Wan and looked down at Lin Wei.
His eyes burned with intense emotion.
"Weiwei, wearing a wet dress is uncomfortable. I sometimes keep warm clothes in my car."
The size should be right; I'll go with you to exchange it.
Gu Jingcheng suddenly reached out and took Shi Yanzhou's coat.
He was startled by his own actions, but at that moment, he just wanted to do it.
"Yanzhou, the color of your clothes doesn't match her skirt."
"If you're out on a date, spend time with your girlfriend. We're leaving now."
After saying that, Gu Jingcheng grabbed Lin Wei's wrist.
He strode towards the restaurant exit.
Gu Yinuo looked at her uncle, whose face was terrifyingly gloomy.
He followed behind Lin Wei, his chubby little legs shuffling around, seemingly at a loss.
The force from the wrist made Lin Wei wince in pain, causing her to frown.
What does Gu Jingcheng mean by this?
Just before getting into the car, Lin Wei broke free from Gu Jingcheng's hand, her displeasure evident in her eyes.
"Mr. Gu, please let go."
"Uncle, you're pinching Weiwei too hard."
Gu Yinuo held Lin Wei's hand.
"I'll blow on it and it won't hurt anymore."
Gu Jingcheng's face regained its coldness.
I wanted to explain my behavior just now, but I found that I couldn't.
Even he himself didn't understand why he did something so outrageous.
Perhaps, he was bewitched...
The Rolls-Royce quietly merged into the traffic.
Gu Yinuo peeked out with her little head.
She glanced at Gu Jingcheng's expressionless face.
Then he looked at Lin Wei, whose lips were tightly pursed.
She rubbed the hem of her clothes with a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes.
Finally, the car came to a smooth stop in the basement of Jingcheng Group.
The pent-up emotions finally broke down.
She burst into tears with a loud "waaaaa".
"Weiwei, I'm sorry, I got your dress dirty. I didn't mean to."
"Waaaaah..."
Lin Wei's thoughts were wandering when Gu Yinuo's crying pulled her back to reality.
She frantically wiped away Gu Yinuo's tears.
Although Lin Wei liked children very much, she had no experience in coaxing them.
"Nono, your sister isn't blaming you. Nono, it was an accident."
"My sister was just thinking about something."
Gu Yinuo sobbed uncontrollably.
"But Uncle got angry. Uncle got angry because another man put a coat on Weiwei."
Waaaaah... It's all Nono's fault.
As she spoke, she cried even louder.
Lin Wei was speechless, unsure how to respond.
Gu Jingcheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Why would he be jealous?
He spoke in a low voice.
"Nono, Uncle wasn't angry. He just didn't say anything because he needed to concentrate on driving."
"Nono, be good, don't cry."
Back to Jingcheng Group.
The two seemed to understand each other without saying a word.
Neither of them brought up the licensing agreement again.
Although Lin Wei knew that the company wouldn't be able to wait much longer.
But lunch was unpleasant, and her mind was in complete turmoil.
Not suitable for business negotiations.
"Mr. Gu, thank you for the lunch. I have other business to attend to at the company, so I'll head back now."
Gu Jingcheng stared at her.
She just left like that?
He was smarter than he had imagined.
Lin Wei returned to her office and looked at the financial statements.
My mind is heavy.
What happened today completely deviated from her plan.
In her previous life, she didn't have much interaction with Gu Jingcheng.
In this life, it seems I can never escape him.
Is Gu Jingcheng's relationship with her what she thinks it is?
She shook her head a few times, finding her idea absurd.
