Chapter 120 People Change
After hearing Lin Youning's words, Gu Huaichen finally understood why she looked at him through the floor-to-ceiling glass when she was talking to Zhang Xiuran at the golf course.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyelashes, raised his hand and gently pinched her nose, and said in a deep voice, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Lin Youning played dumb, "What do you mean?"
Gu Huaichen glanced at her.
Lin Youning suppressed a smile, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, "So, Mr. Gu, are you free?"
Gu Huaichen stared at her, unable to say anything.
Besides, he will be free even if he is not.
After a long silence, Gu Huaichen pinched her cheek and said, "Yes."
After receiving his affirmative answer, Lin Youning smiled with relief. She looked at the person in front of her with a frown, "Gu Huaichen."
"Um?"
Lin Youning suppressed the smile in her eyes and shook her head slowly, "It's okay."
She smiled and said, "Just call you."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He paused slightly, took in the smile on her face, and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just let her be.
After leaving the golf course, the two went back home first.
Gu Huaichen was sweating while playing basketball. Like Lin Youning, he has a slight obsession with cleanliness.
After a simple wash, Gu Huaichen saw the message from Yin Jin and others, asking him if he wanted to have dinner together in the evening.
Gu Huaichen thought about it and asked Lin Youning for his opinion.
Lin Youning tilted his head and thought for a while, "I feel a little tired today."
Gu Huaichen understood.
He moved his fingers, rejecting Yin Jin: [No, next time.]
Yin Jin: […Do you have anything to do tonight?]
Gu Huaichen: [I’m tired of playing basketball. ]
Yin Jin: [? ]
Yin Jin was very confused: [When did your physical strength become so poor? ]
Yan Shao: [Isn’t it obvious? His wife is tired and doesn’t want to go out.]
Yin Jin: [Tsk.]
Yan Shao: [You are a person who has walked among women before, so you can’t understand the implicit meaning.]
Yin Jin: [What about Mr. Liang? ]
He went to ask Liang Jingyan again.
Liang Jingyan replied half an hour later: [I have something to do. I will reply next time.]
Yin Jin was speechless.
Gu Huaichen ignored the messages in the group. He sat on the sofa with Lin Youning for a while and asked her what she wanted to eat in the evening.
Lin Youning wasn't hungry yet, so she couldn't think of anything.
Finally, the two people who did not accept Yin Jin's invitation changed their clothes and went out, preparing to eat the barbecue that Lin Youning wanted to eat.
After eating the barbecue, the two made an appointment before returning home to rest.

When I woke up the next morning, Gu Huaichen was no longer at home.
Lin Youning picked up her phone and took a look. There was a message from him on WeChat saying that he had to go to the company for something and would be back to pick her up to go back to the Lin family at 11 o'clock.
Lin Youning raised her eyebrows and replied with an OK.
After replying to Gu Huaichen's message, Lin Youning scrolled down and saw the message Zhang Xiuran sent her half an hour ago, saying see you later.
Lin Youning felt a little headache for a moment. She actually couldn't understand what Zhang Xiuran meant.
To be fair, Zhang Xiuran had been very good to her in the past, and she should have been grateful to him. However, they had not been in touch for a long time, and she did not know much about each other's life experiences over the years. She really could not see Zhang Xiuran as a person.
How to say it, she felt that Zhang Xiu Ran was very mysterious now.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Youning replied: [Okay, Brother Xiu Ran.]
After returning, Zhang Xiu Ran replied immediately: [Just woke up? ]
Lin Youning was slightly embarrassed: […No, I just saw your message.]
Zhang Xiuran: [So, you don’t want to sleep in now? ]
Without waiting for Lin Youning to reply, Zhang Xiuran continued: [I remember that you used to like to sleep in.]
Lin Youning: “…”
She held the phone in confusion for a while, then said vaguely: [Well, people change.]
Lin Youning didn't chat with Zhang Xiuran on WeChat for long. She decisively replied, "See you later," then put down her phone and went to wash up.
After washing up and going downstairs to have breakfast, Lin Youning called Zhao Tinglan to tell her that she and Gu Huaichen would go back for lunch at noon, and that Zhang Xiuran would also be there.
Zhao Tinglan was surprised, "Xiu Ran has returned to China?"
Lin Youning said calmly: "Well, he said he wanted to go see you."
Zhao Tinglan: "...Okay, what time will you come over?"
"It's past eleven o'clock, and Brother Xiu Ran should also go to have lunch." Lin Youning said, "Just ask Auntie to prepare it."
Zhao Tinglan: “Okay.”
The mother and daughter didn't say anything and quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Youning went back to her room to put on makeup and change clothes.
When she had almost finished packing, Gu Huaichen came back.
Seeing her dress, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning: “Hmm?”
She raised her head and met his downward gaze.
Gu Huaichen stared at her with his eyes downcast. Looking at the bright and beautiful face in front of him, he asked slowly, "Why are you dressed so beautifully?"
"?"
After hearing Gu Huaichen's words, Lin Youning wanted to laugh. She looked down at herself and asked, "Is there?"
What she wore today was pretty casual. Her makeup was also simple and light, not spending too much effort or time.
Gu Huaichen: “Yes.”
He answered her in a deep voice, and after trying to hold back, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying in a deep voice, "Very beautiful."
Lin Youning's lips softened and she couldn't help laughing, "Gu Huaichen."
"Um?"
"Don't mess up my makeup." Lin Youning took a step back and reminded him, "We still have to go back to eat."
Speaking of this, Gu Huaichen felt a little unhappy.
He raised his hand, wanting to pinch her cheek, but he was hesitant about the makeup she mentioned, so he pinched her earlobe instead, "Okay, I'll do it later."
Lin Youning: “…”
She widened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe what she had heard.
The person who said this didn't realize anything and said calmly, "Leave now?"
Lin Youning blinked hesitantly, "... Yeah."
The two set out from Yun Gu Mansion and went to Lin's house.
When we arrived at the Lin family, Zhang Xiu Ran had already arrived.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Tinglan came out of the house, and Zhang Xiuran accompanied her.
When he saw two people getting out of the car arm in arm, a hint of coldness flashed across Zhang Xiuran's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Ningning, Gu..." Zhao Tinglan was surprised by Gu Huaichen's aura. She wanted to call him President Gu, but she changed her words just before she said, "Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen nodded slightly, "Mom."
Lin Youning also called out.
The two of them greeted Zhao Tinglan before looking at Zhang Xiuran beside them.
Lin Youning smiled, "Brother Xiuran."
Zhang Xiuran nodded, "Ningning."
He paused and looked at Gu Huaichen, "Gu——"
Before he could finish his next words, Lin Youning said, "Let me introduce it to you."
She pointed at Zhang Xiuran and said politely, "My childhood neighbor, brother Zhang Xiuran."
Then, she introduced Zhang Xiuran, "My husband, Gu Huaichen."
Hearing the words "my husband", Gu Huaichen's lips curled slightly and he looked at the man in front of him, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Xiuran paused, "Boss Gu."
The two of them simply greeted each other, but the atmosphere around them became inexplicably awkward.
Lin Youning sensed something was wrong, shook Gu Huaichen's arm, and stopped being intimate, "Come in first?"
Gu Huaichen: "Okay."
Zhang Xiu Ran took a step back, looked at the two well-matched figures from behind, curled his lips slightly, and sneered silently.
