Chapter 47 IOU
With Gu Xiucheng's persuasion and Ning Mingluo's firm insistence, grandma stayed in the hospital for a week before being taken home.
Because my grandmother had just had surgery, Gu Xiucheng was worried that one nurse might not be able to take care of her, so he transferred someone else from the hospital.
This time, Ning Mingluo didn't say anything else about Gu Xiucheng's arrangements and just followed them.
Gu Xiucheng could feel that Ning Mingluo's attitude towards him seemed very different recently, very gentle and submissive.
Gu Xiucheng could feel that Ning Mingluo's attitude had softened so much probably because he helped him take care of his grandmother.
But this is also a good change. At least I won't reject his feelings like before.
He is already very satisfied with the treatment he has now.
There is nothing in this world that is difficult for him to solve, but Ning Mingluo is the exception.
He couldn't figure out what Ning Mingluo was thinking, nor did he know how to make Ning Mingluo happy.
He can only explore it bit by bit, but if the other party is Ning Mingluo, he is willing to study it slowly.
Ning Mingluo naturally saw all of Gu Xiucheng's efforts. His heart was not made of stone, so this was enough for him.
Before grandma's health problems occurred, Ning Mingluo had already planned to confront Gu Xiucheng, but these things delayed it.
Now that grandma's health has recovered, Ning Mingluo feels that he should find some time to clarify the relationship between them with Gu Xiucheng.
Whether you want to be together officially or have any other relationship, you have to make it clear. You can't keep it vague like this.
He naturally enjoyed the benefits given to him by Gu Xiucheng, and naturally he should respond to Gu Xiucheng.
But before all these things, Ning Mingluo had another thing in mind.
Ever since grandma was hospitalized, Ning Mingluo has been responsible for all these expenses. The salary of the caregiver is also paid from Gu Xiucheng's account. He should be responsible for this money. Even if Gu Xiucheng is not short of money, he cannot let Gu Xiucheng spend money like this recklessly.
Before settling the score with Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng, grandma went to talk to Ning Mingluo first.
The sun is shining today, and Ning Mingluo pushes her grandmother to the balcony to bask in the sun.
Grandma looked at Ning Mingluo, opened and closed her mouth several times, but never asked the question in her mind.
Ning Mingluo is an actor, so he naturally has a good understanding of the characters' psychology and expressions. He can tell at once that the grandmother is worried about something, and this matter is most likely related to him.
He held his grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, do you have anything to say to me? Just say it."
"I've been wondering these past few days, are you and Xiucheng just friends?"
"Grandma, why do you ask that?" There was more to the relationship between him and Gu Xiucheng than meets the eye, and neither of them tried to hide it. Grandma could tell that he was not surprised, but she looked a little worried.
Grandma sighed, and her eyes fell on Ning Mingluo with pity: "I know that you have encountered very little care and love since you were a child. Although I am by your side, it is still different for your growth. I can feel that Gu Xiucheng treats you very well, but grandma still hopes that you can be cautious. Between you..."
Grandma didn't know whether she should say those words.
Young people are full of vigor and vitality. When they meet someone they like, it is impossible for others to persuade them with just a few words.
But she didn't want Ning Mingluo to get hurt.
The social status gap between the two people is too big. Now Gu Xiucheng is very interested in Ning Mingluo and treats them very well, but how can a person of that status love only one person in his whole life, and love a man at that.
Beauty fades with love.
Grandma didn’t even dare to think that if that day came, would she let Mingluo follow in his mother’s footsteps?
Thinking of her daughter, the grandmother felt even more distressed.
Wasn't it because her poor daughter believed in the so-called "one couple for life" that she ended up like that?
"I know what grandma is worried about. Grandma, you don't have to worry. I won't get sucked into it like mom did. Besides, Gu Xiucheng is different from that hypocritical man. I know my limits between us."
As for other things, Ning Mingluo didn't say much to his grandmother.
After spending so many days together, grandma has some understanding of Gu Xiucheng's character.
Otherwise, he would not have reminded him in this way, but would have directly warned Gu Xiucheng not to get involved with him.
He and Gu Xiucheng are now obviously tied together, and neither can live without the other. Grandma can clearly understand the interests involved.
"I know you both know your limits, but as an elder I can't help but worry about you."
I started working early to support the family, and now I am old enough to fall in love.
The baby in the cradle seemed to have happened only yesterday.
Ning Mingluo is now a handsome young man.
"I understand. Don't worry, I will protect myself and make myself happy. I won't repeat the path of others."
Grandma patted Ning Mingluo's hand.
Ning Mingluo's grandmother had never hidden anything from him about his parents, but Ning Mingluo had always believed that his father was dead.
He cheated on his wife while she was pregnant, and even had an affair with someone else when she was giving birth. In the end, his wife committed suicide due to postpartum depression. Ning Mingluo didn't think such a man was qualified to be his father.
No matter how rich this person is, he is a scumbag.
So Ning Mingluo never believed in the past that one person could sacrifice for another person, but the appearance of Gu Xiucheng changed his mind.
Since their first meeting, Gu Xiucheng has been paving the way for him. He thought that it was him that Gu Xiucheng wanted, but Gu Xiucheng refused. He faced Gu Xiucheng with a cold face, but this man still wanted to please him.
If such a person cannot give a little trust, Ning Mingluo thinks he will probably really lose the ability to love.
There were many people at home, and Ning Mingluo felt it was not convenient for him to talk to Gu Xiucheng, so he took advantage of Gu Xiucheng's time at work and asked Gu Xiucheng to have dinner together.
Recently, because of his grandmother's health, Ning Mingluo has been almost inseparable from her.
He actually asked me out for dinner today. I could probably guess that he had something to say to me.
Gu Xiucheng readily agreed.
Ning Mingluo felt that in order to appear more sincere, she went to Gu Xiucheng's company just before getting off work.
Ning Mingluo still remembered that Gu Xiucheng was jealous the last time he contacted Secretary Wang, so this time he sent a message directly to Gu Xiucheng.
[I'm almost at your company. Can you arrange for someone to pick me up?]
Although he had been here before, it was really hard for him to recognize Gu Xiucheng's place. It was too big, and he was afraid of getting lost and causing delays.
Gu Xiucheng replied very quickly.
【good. 】
As soon as Ning Mingluo entered the company gate, he saw Gu Xiucheng waiting for him there.
She asked in surprise, "Why didn't you arrange for an assistant to pick me up? Instead, you came down by yourself? Don't you have much work to do right now?"
"Picking you up is the most important thing."
Although he knew that it was Gu Xiucheng's sweet talk, Ning Mingluo had to admit that he was very happy to be coaxed by Gu Xiucheng.
Ning Mingluo followed Gu Xiucheng upstairs.
The company's chat group exploded.
[I met Mr. Gu’s boyfriend!!! He’s truly a man!]
[No wonder so many people tried to seduce Ms. Gu in the past but ended up failing. It turns out it was because they were of the wrong gender.]
[How do you know Mr. Gu is in a relationship? ]
Recently, Mr. Gu has been late and left early more often than he has in his entire working life. Furthermore, during several meetings, he's been heard to go silent mid-session. What else could it be but someone else being around?
[Are you all detectives? You're so sharp.]
[Every day at the company is so boring, so studying Mr. Gu is the only interesting thing.]
[So, have you seen what Mrs. Gu looks like? ]
[I couldn't see clearly because of the mask. Mr. Gu came to pick me up personally and didn't dare to look over there.]
[I saw it, the eyes are very beautiful, and they look a little familiar]
[I heard that he is an artist from Shengshi.]
Where did you hear this from? How come I don’t know anything?
The group messages popped up very quickly.
The receptionist looked at the news and thought about the two people he had just seen.
Apart from anything else, their heights were a good match, and she had never seen Mr. Gu be so gentle to someone.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
Thanks to Ning Mingluo, today is another day when I get off work on time.
The restaurant they booked was the one they often went to before.
When Gu Xiucheng was driving, he always glanced at Ning Mingluo out of the corner of his eye.
It wasn't so obvious before, but for some reason today, Gu Xiucheng's eyes almost never left her.
Ning Mingluo coughed uncomfortably.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
"It's been a long time since I've had dinner with you alone, and I lost control for a moment."
Ning Mingluo held her forehead with her hand embarrassedly: "If you want to have dinner with me, you can just tell me directly. It's obviously you who has a hard time making an appointment."
Gu Xiucheng glanced at Ning Mingluo and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then who was the person who rejected me before?"
"Was the situation at that time special? Besides, I've shown my affection so many times, and you've always rejected me. Aren't you allowed me to be angry?"
"Of course I should be angry, so can I get your forgiveness now that I've apologized?"
"That'll have to wait until after dinner tonight."
The two people smiled at each other, and they could understand each other's intentions.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the food they had ordered in advance was served immediately.
After the waiters had left, Ning Mingluo took out a note and handed it to Gu Xiucheng.
"There are two things happening today. This is the first thing. Take a look at this first."
Gu Xiu took the note, opened it and saw that it was an IOU.
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng seriously and said, "You've spent a lot of money during this period. After thinking it over, I still think this is more appropriate. Take a look at the amount on the bill above. There shouldn't be much discrepancy."
Gu Xiucheng looked at the IOU, then at Ning Mingluo, his expression darkening slightly.
"What does this mean?"
