Chapter 196 Look at my handsome husband
Entering the private room, Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen sat together, next to Wen Ci, and next to Wen Ci was Liang Jingyan.
The four of them were already familiar enough with the place, so they simply skipped the time spent on ordering and introducing the dishes.
Lin Youning and Wen Ci were in charge of taking the order. After they finished, the private room was silent for a while.
Suddenly, Lin Youning broke the quiet atmosphere and chatted with Wen Ci.
They didn't talk about anything important, and she didn't ask about the situation between Wen Ci and Liang Jingyan at this time. After all, they were either back together or getting to know each other again, and were in the ambiguous stage.
No matter which stage, as long as Wen Ci is happy, she will support it.
Lin Youning is a gossiper, but she wouldn't go to such lengths to get to the bottom of things.
Although the two men both disliked each other as light bulbs, the four of them still had a very comfortable dinner that night.
After dinner, Wen Ci asked Lin Youning what they were going to do next.
Lin Youning turned and looked at Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen: "Date."
Liang Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "Oh, then we won't bother you."
Lin Youning: “…”
Wen Ci: "..."
It’s not that Liang Jingyan doesn’t want to disturb them, it’s obviously that Liang Jingyan doesn’t want Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen to disturb them.
Lin Youning and Wen Ci looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Gu Huaichen also spoke up in time, "Okay, then we'll leave first."
He looked at the two of them, "I have an appointment."
Liang Jingyan nodded slightly.
After they got into the car separately, Lin Youning tried to hold back a chuckle, "Boss Gu."
She raised her hand and poked Gu Huaichen's arm, "You are so stingy."
Among you, there is Gu Huaichen and Liang Jingyan.
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen was not angry. He slowly raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Really? I think I'm fine. I'm not as stingy as Liang Jingyan."
"You two should treat each other the same." Lin Youning said.
She held her chin up to look at the two people who got into the car not far away, urging Gu Huaichen to open a gap, and muttered, "Why didn't I realize that Mr. Liang was so possessive before?"
Liang Jingyan was more domineering and xenophobic than she thought.
This xenophobia does not mean that he does not communicate with them. When he is with Wen Ci, he is very conscious of the presence of outsiders.
Gu Huaichen: "Just get used to it."
Lin Youning was curious, "Was he like this when he was dating Wen Ci?"
"I'm not sure," Gu Huaichen said honestly, "When he was in love with Wen Ci, he did it behind our backs."
If he hadn't been so sensitive and hadn't caught them together twice before, Liang Jingyan might have kept it a secret from him.
Lin Youning imagined the scene and said with emotion, "I can't imagine what it was like for Mr. Liang to fall in love when he was young."
"Hmm?" Gu Huaichen looked at her.
Lin Youning was puzzled: "What?"
Gu Huaichen withdrew his gaze from her, looked straight ahead and said, "You don't need to imagine him, just imagine me."
"..." Lin Youning was amused by him, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Boss Gu, are you jealous of this too?"
Before Gu Huaichen could answer, Lin Youning asked, "Or did you also secretly fall in love with someone behind my back when you were young?"
The word "secretly" may not be the right word, but it's pretty close, Lin Youning thinks.
Gu Huaichen: "I am not young anymore?"
Lin Youning choked up slightly. She hadn't expected that this was his point.
She tilted her head and looked at Gu Huaichen's three-dimensional profile. She wanted to laugh a little, "Is this the point?"
Gu Huaichen said seriously, "This is my point."
Lin Youning was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Lin Youning raised his hand and touched his nose, sighed and said, "Well, what about when I was younger?"
Gu Huaichen: “No.”
Lin Youning: "So, I don't need to imagine."
Gu Huaichen had never been in love when he was younger, so how could she imagine this? Is she just imagining things?
At this point, Lin Youning was a little curious, "Did you have a crush on someone when you were studying?"
Generally speaking, when you first start to fall in love, there are always one or two people you like, right? You may not like them, but you probably have a crush on them.
Gu Huaichen: “No.”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Youning and asked, "Mrs. Gu, why are you asking this? Is this your own opinion?"
"..." Lin Youning choked slightly, then realized belatedly that he had dug a hole for himself.
Facing Gu Huaichen's deep eyes, she blinked slowly and whispered, "I can't say I like him, but I have a little liking for him. I think he looks okay."
"Lin Yeran?" Gu Huaichen asked.
Lin Youning: "...No, why did you think of him?"
"The last time Miss Mu got engaged, you two had a very pleasant conversation." Gu Huaichen reminded her.
Of course, he asked Lin Yeran not only about the pleasant conversation between the two. He heard from Lin Youning why she and Mu Yueling didn't get along, and many reasons why they disliked each other.
Apart from the things that happened between the two families when they were young, the biggest reason was probably in high school. Mu Yueling liked Lin Yeran, and Lin Yeran and Lin Youning had a very good relationship. Many people suspected that the two had secretly dated.
Of course, that was not the case, but their high school classmates had guessed so, and the two were indeed very close in high school.
Thinking of Mu Yueling's engagement, Lin Youning sighed, "No way, when we were talking, you and Mu Yueling were standing not far away."
Gu Huaichen hummed, calmly saying, "Mrs. Gu was talking to another man and smiling so happily right under my nose."
Lin Youning: “…………”
After hearing what Gu Huaichen said, she was a little unsure whether he was really jealous of Lin Yeran or was just pretending.
Thinking of this, Lin Youning tilted her head and stared straight at Gu Huaichen.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Huaichen did not turn his eyes away, and asked in a slow voice, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at my handsome husband, is he jealous?" said Lin Youning.
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He almost burst out laughing at Lin Youning's words.
"Did you see it?" He tried his best to control his emotions and pretended to be serious.
Lin Youning shook his head, "No."
She was quiet for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "But regardless of whether my husband is jealous or not, I still feel that I need to explain. You didn't ask me about the engagement last time, and I was too busy to remember it later."
She forgot to tell Gu Huaichen what she talked about with Lin Yeran.
Lin Youning told Gu Huaichen that she and Lin Yeran had only chatted about Lin Yeran's grandmother. It was only when she met Lin Yeran again that she learned that his grandmother had passed away when he was a freshman in college.
The reason why Lin Youning had a good relationship with Lin Yeran when she was in high school was because she knew Lin Yeran's secret and also because Lin Yeran helped her.
Lin Yeran is a well-known poor kid in their school.
He was admitted to their school on a recommendation basis, and all tuition and living expenses were free, and he also received a considerable scholarship every year.
All his classmates at school knew that he was a poor boy.
Lin Youning and the others were no exception, but Lin Yeran was a nice guy with a good personality and good looks, so most girls liked him.
But boys don’t like it.
Most of them felt that Lin Yeran was inferior to them in every other aspect except for his good looks and decent grades. How could a poor boy like him be worthy of the love of so many female classmates?
Naturally, someone came to cause trouble for Lin Yeran.
