Chapter 23 Entering the Wolf's Den
After Gu Huaichen and Lin Mingqi went upstairs to the study, Lin Youning wanted to follow them to eavesdrop, but was stopped by Zhao Tinglan.
Lin Youning had reason to suspect that Lin Mingqi had anticipated her actions and arranged for Zhao Tinglan to stop her.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhao Tinglan with a serious face, "Mom, do you have something to tell me?"
Zhao Tinglan hummed, "Shall we go to your room?"
Lin Youning nodded reluctantly.
Seeing her uneasiness, Zhao Tinglan smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, your father won't do anything to Mr. Gu."
"Are you sure?" Lin Youning asked.
Zhao Tinglan hummed, "He wouldn't dare."
Lin Mingqi is just putting on airs at best. If he is really asked to do something to Gu Huaichen, he doesn't have the courage to do so.
He couldn't afford to offend the Gu family.
Zhao Tinglan knew Lin Mingqi very well.
After hearing what Zhao Tinglan said, Lin Youning felt a little relieved.
She knew that what Zhao Tinglan said was true. Lin Mingqi only dared to act arrogantly at home and was very timid in public.
If not for this, he would not have respectfully called the other person Mr. Gu when Lin Youning brought Gu Huaichen back last time.
The mother and daughter went upstairs and entered the room. Lin Youning sat on a chair in the room. "What do you want to tell me?"
Zhao Tinglan lowered her head and asked her softly, "Go to the Gu family, are they nice to you?"
"Very good." Lin Youning said, "They treat me very well."
"Where is Huaichen?" Zhao Tinglan asked, "Is he nice to you?"
Lin Youning paused for a moment, knowing what Zhao Tinglan was worried about, "He is also very good to me."
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Tinglan: "I am not you. If he treats me badly, I have the courage to divorce. I can't trap myself for the rest of my life."
She has no choice but to marry Gu Huaichen now.
But afterwards, if Gu Huaichen treats her badly, she will definitely divorce him if she has the chance.
Lin Youning thought about this very clearly.
Knowing that Lin Youning was mocking her cowardice, Zhao Tinglan moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, "It's Mom's fault."
Lin Youning turned away, "Don't make that expression every time."
Zhao Tinglan responded: "Okay, then I won't say anything."
She looked at Lin Youning and said, "As long as you are doing well over there, Mom will be relieved."
"Yeah." Lin Youning said awkwardly, "Call me if you have anything."
Zhao Tinglan: "Don't worry, Mom will be fine."
Lin Youning didn't even want to expose her.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Tinglan asked, "You didn't bring many things with you. Do you want to bring something with you?"
In the cloakroom, there are many new dresses that Lin Youning has never worn.
"Yes." Lin Youning came back today with the same idea in mind, "I'll pack my dance clothes."
Zhao Tinglan: "Mom will clean up with you."
The mother and daughter found a few suitcases, and Lin Youning packed her clothes, cosmetics, bags and other things she particularly liked into the suitcases, preparing to take them to Yungu Mansion.
When the two of them packed up and went downstairs, Gu Huaichen and Lin Mingqi had also finished their conversation.
Lin Youning took a look and found that Lin Mingqi's expression was not as ugly as she thought. She subconsciously looked at Gu Huaichen and questioned him with her eyes.
Gu Huaichen lowered his eyes and shook his head gently.
Lin Youning was surprised. If Gu Huaichen had not agreed to Lin Mingqi's request, how could he still be so kind to Gu Huaichen?
What Lin Youning didn't know was that Gu Huaichen had promised Lin Mingqi something else.
The two had dinner at home and then left.
This time when she left, Lin Youning knew that she would not come back so often.
Sitting in the car, she looked back.
Lin Mingqi had already gone into the house, and only Zhao Tinglan was still standing at the door looking at their car.
“…”
Noticing the emotional gap between the people around him, Gu Huaichen glanced sideways, "What's wrong?"
Lin Youning pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's okay."
She turned her head and met his eyes. "You really didn't agree to my father's messy requests?"
Gu Huaichen: "Am I a person who doesn't keep his word?"
Lin Youning was silent.
"Don't worry, he doesn't get what he wants." Gu Huaichen said.
Lin Youning narrowed her eyes slightly. "He didn't get what he wanted, but you gave him something else?"
Gu Huaichen was surprised by Lin Youning's sharpness. He thought for three seconds and told her, "I know my limits."
Before Lin Youning opened her mouth to say anything else, Gu Huaichen whispered, "I want to marry you. It's impossible for you to not agree to any of his conditions."
It's not right to say this to others.
Lin Youning knew this, but still felt unhappy.
"Did he ask you for money or shares?" Lin Youning was curious.
Gu Huaichen: "A cooperation agreement to allow Lin to participate."
Lin Youning: “…Oh.”
Gu Huaichen saw her depressed look, smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning: “What?”
"Am I someone who is so easily threatened?" Gu Huaichen asked her with a smile, "When I say I know my limits, I really do know my limits."
Their eyes met.
It was strange. They had not been together for a long time, but Lin Youning was willing to believe what Gu Huaichen said at this moment. She nodded gently, "Okay, I believe you."
Gu Huaichen said calmly: "I won't let you down."
The conversation ended and the car fell silent.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped at Yungu Mansion.
After moving all the luggage that Lin Youning brought from home into the house, Lin Youning went into the cloakroom to pack.
Gu Huaichen went to the study.
When he returned to his room from the study and went to the cloakroom to get his pajamas, he discovered that there were many more colorful clothes in the cloakroom, including several sets of skirts that she wore in the video today.
When Lin Youning came out of the bathroom, she saw Gu Huaichen standing in the cloakroom aisle in a daze.
She felt like she was in a daze.
She walked in puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Boss Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Huaichen glanced sideways, raised his chin slightly and said, "Did you bring this from home?"
Lin Youning took a look and hummed, "…What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Is this what you were wearing in the video today?" Gu Huaichen asked in a low voice.
Lin Youning took another look and shook his head slowly, "No."
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows.
"There is a slight difference." Lin Youning explained to Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen: “Really?”
Lin Youning hummed, and subconsciously said, "You'll know when I wear it later."
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep tone, "Can't wear it now?"
"?"
Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, but when she met Gu Huaichen's deep eyes, her heart suddenly tightened.
At that moment, her cheeks became hot.
She felt that Gu Huaichen looked at her with dangerous eyes. His eyes darkened and his protruding Adam's apple rolled.
After realizing what he meant, Lin Youning pretended to be calm and said, "Not today."
"Why?" Gu Huaichen asked.
Lin Youning was speechless, his lips moving, "You promised me."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
Thinking of what he had said, Gu Huaichen closed his eyes and said, "I understand."
He did not force Lin Youning, nor did he say anything more. He picked up his pajamas and went to the bathroom. Looking at his back as he walked into the bathroom, Lin Youning raised her hand, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh.
Finished.
Why did she feel like marrying Gu Huaichen was like entering a wolf's den?
