Chapter 145 Whisper
Lin Youning never expected that Gu Huaichen was so childish.
He is jealous now, regardless of the occasion or the person.
Lin Youning was about to tease him when his aunt, who was sitting across from him, asked, "What are these young couple whispering about?"
Lin Youning raised his head instantly, looking slightly embarrassed.
Gu Huaichen was calm. He raised his eyelids and looked back at the gaze that was coming over him. "Aunt, since you said it was a private conversation, then of course it cannot be told to anyone."
Lin Youning: “…”
Everyone: “…”
After a moment of silence, Mr. Gu looked at him with a look of confusion, "You are so disrespectful."
Just then the butler brought over the wine and everyone started drinking. The topic that had made Lin Youning a little uncomfortable was just passed.
Apart from the awkward moment when their whispers were caught, Lin Youning actually enjoyed the meal very much.
The more she got to know the Gu family, the more she could feel their love and kindness towards her.
Lin Youning really likes them.
After dinner, Lin Youning chatted with her aunts and sisters-in-law in the yard for a while. To her surprise, the topic they talked about was also gossip in the circle.
In an instant, Lin Youning felt that the distance and age between him and them disappeared.
She listened to the gossip for most of the hour with great gusto. On the way home with Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning did not forget to retell it to Gu Huaichen and confirm with him whether the gossip was true or not.
After hearing one of the gossips, Gu Huaichen said with a smile, "Did my aunt say that?"
Lin Youning was surprised and asked with wide eyes, "How did you know?"
"She and the girl you just mentioned, who was the subject of gossip, have been at odds since they were young." Gu Huaichen told Lin Youning, "When they were in high school or college, they fell in love with the same boy."
Lin Youning sat upright, very interested, "Then what? Who caught up?"
"My aunt did catch up with him, but she was found out about her premature love." Speaking of premature love, Gu Huaichen recalled, "It was when I was in high school."
Lin Youning chuckled, "Did you call your parents when your premature love was discovered?"
"Yes." Gu Huaichen told Lin Youning that her aunt had hidden her premature love very well at the time. After it was discovered, she was certain that it was that girl who secretly told the teacher about it.
Later it was confirmed that it was that person who did it.
Because of this, the hatred between the two people became deeper and deeper. However, they were in the same circle and often saw each other, so they did not tear each other apart in public.
The most important thing is that after her premature love was discovered, my aunt broke up with the boy.
Later, both of them went abroad to study.
A few years after returning to China, the woman got married. On the contrary, Gu Huaichen's aunt has remained single ever since.
Of course, she has had many boyfriends, but she just doesn't want to get married.
Also, because the Gu family set a precedent of aunt not getting married, the old man urged Gu Huaichen anxiously. He was worried that Gu Huaichen didn't want to get married either.
If I don’t want to get married at 30, I’ll want to get married even less at 40.
“…”
After listening to what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning laughed for a long time.
After laughing, she was curious, "Is it possible that what Auntie said last night was exaggerated?"
"Yes, there is." Gu Huaichen told Lin Youning, "The gossip you just mentioned, the woman's husband had more than two mistresses outside, but the woman didn't cry all day long."
Lin Youning: "So is she... okay?"
Lin Youning knew that it was wrong for her to care about a stranger, but she was the victim after all.
Gu Huaichen: "Not bad, I'm arranging the divorce."
He knew the reason for Lin Youning's emotional fluctuations, and holding her hand, he said, "When she was young, she could go against her aunt. Now that she is older, she still has the courage to make decisive decisions."
Gu Huaichen admired this.
He also told Lin Youning, "Actually, my aunt admires her very much. She is a typical strong woman."
Lin Youning exclaimed, "No wonder."
"Um?"
"No wonder my aunt's tone was a little abnormal when she gossiped about that man at night. She scolded the man with real feelings, but when she mentioned the woman who cried, she seemed a little regretful." Lin Youning recalled.
Gu Huaichen smiled and said, "The emotions of the elders are more complicated."
Lin Youning nodded.
Time passed quickly while we were gossiping.
It seemed that before they could come to their senses, they had already arrived home.
After returning home, Gu Huaichen still had some things to deal with, so he quickly took a shower, changed into home clothes, and went to the study.
After he finished washing, Lin Youning also entered the bathroom.
Gu Huaichen had just taken a shower, and the bathroom was still filled with warm, humid mist.
The fog was thick.
After closing the bathroom door, Lin Youning washed her face and took off her clothes.
For some reason, the image of Gu Huaichen taking a bath inexplicably emerged in her mind.
It's not that I haven't seen Gu Huaichen taking a bath before, but I was mostly unconscious when I saw him. At this moment, the scenes I saw when I was unconscious were clearly replaying in my mind.
The ding of the cell phone brought Lin Youning back to her wandering thoughts.
After realizing what she was thinking, Lin Youning covered her face in embarrassment... Help, is she crazy?
Was she just thinking about Gu Huaichen's bathing steps? !
She can't be that hungry, because that's her husband.
Spitting on himself secretly, Lin Youning temporarily drove the name and person Gu Huaichen out of his mind.
After taking a comfortable bath, Gu Huaichen was still busy in the study.
There was no water in the bedroom, so Lin Youning went downstairs to get some water.
Not long after the two returned, Aunt Yang and the others went back to the villa in the back to rest. At this moment, the room was silent, with only Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen there.
After slowly drinking a small half cup of water, Lin Youning glanced upstairs, then filled the cup with another large half cup of warm water and climbed upstairs. |
There was a knock on the study door, and Gu Huaichen said without raising his head, "Come in."
Lin Youning pushed open the door and saw the man sitting at the computer desk.
A faint floral scent wafted into his nose, and Gu Huaichen raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Youning who had already walked to the computer desk.
“…”
Only then did he suddenly realize that the person knocking on the door was Lin Youning.
He just thought it was Uncle Li or Aunt Yang.
Noticing Gu Huaichen's gaze, Lin Youning pursed her lips a little unnaturally, "Are you not done yet?"
Gu Huaichen put down the pen in his hand and said, "It's almost done."
He paused and looked at her straight in the eyes, "Why are you here? Are you bored?"
Lin Youning: “…”
He's a straight guy, right?!
