Chapter 36 Unable to Control
The hairpin was a wedding gift he gave to Lin Youning.
Looking at the hairpin in front of her, Lin Youning's heart skipped a beat.
When Gu Huaichen took the photo, she actually thought that he might want to take the photo and give it to her. But then she thought again and felt that this hairpin was also suitable for a young lady.
Therefore, she did not dare to firmly believe that he really wanted to give it to her.
Until this moment, her guess was confirmed.
"You..." Lin Youning opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Gu Huaichen: "Me what?"
"Doesn't the ring count?" Lin Youning asked.
Gu Huaichen: "What kind of wedding gift is a ring?"
He pointed at the hairpin in her hand and said, "This is it."
At this point, he glanced at the hairpin on her head and said in a low voice, "It should suit you very well."
Lin Youning pursed her lips and was about to say that she felt the same way. That annoying Mr. Zhao came over with his female companion, "Mr. Gu."
He smiled and said, "I really didn't mean it."
Gu Huaichen raised his eyelids.
President Zhao turned his gaze to Lin Youning and said softly, "Mrs. Gu won't mind, will she?"
Lin Youning: “How could that be?”
She smiled and said, "If it weren't for President Zhao, I probably wouldn't have been able to own such a beautiful hairpin."
The smile on Mr. Zhao's face froze slightly.
Lin Youning smiled at the female companion beside President Zhao and said, "President Zhao is really nice to his female companions."
She had just asked Gu Huaichen that the woman next to President Zhao was not his girlfriend, nor was she his assistant secretary.
People in their circle who have no acknowledged girlfriends are collectively referred to as female companions.
President Zhao: “…”
Pretending not to notice Lin Youning's sarcasm, President Zhao said, "Mrs. Gu is more lively than I thought."
He looked at Gu Huaichen: "I didn't expect that President Gu likes this. I thought you would like Zhong..."
He stopped talking halfway and said, "Oops, sorry, I said the wrong thing."
He directed and acted out the story himself, "I hope Mr. Gu won't hold it against me."
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen smiled and said, "It depends on my wife."
Mr. Zhao choked slightly.
Lin Youning was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly responded, "It depends on my mood."
Neither of them wanted to talk more with Mr. Zhao. Lin Youning felt that looking at him ruined her mood. She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Huaichen, "Let's go home first. I'm a little tired."
Gu Huaichen: "Okay."
He didn't even look at Mr. Zhao and led Lin Youning away directly.
However, the two of them were unable to get into the car and leave directly. When they reached the door, Yan Shao came over.
It was only then that Lin Youning realized that he was there today too.
"Not bad." Yan Shao glanced at the hairpin in Lin Youning's hand and said, "Mr. Gu has come back with a lot of gains today."
Gu Huaichen twitched his lower lip slightly, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
Yan Shao was puzzled: "Why are you so anxious?"
Gu Huaichen: "I'm going on a business trip."
Yan Shao: “…”
Lin Youning: “…”
It was only then that she remembered that Gu Huaichen was going to fly to another country tonight.
For a moment, Lin Youning felt inexplicably lost.
As for why she felt lost, she didn't quite understand.
After rejecting Yan Shao, the two got in the car and left.
The driver drove quietly. Gu Huaichen glanced to the side, looked at the quiet person next to him, and raised his eyes slightly, "Why don't you speak?"
Lin Youning tilted her head, "What did you say?"
Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that her mood was changing too quickly, "What happened?"
Not likely.
Lin Youning: “What?”
She also failed to follow his train of thought.
Gu Huaichen paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes and asked, "You don't like the hairpin?"
"How could that be?" Lin Youning said without thinking, "It's so expensive and so beautiful, how could I not like it?"
"Then why are you in a bad mood?" Gu Huaichen asked directly.
Lin Youning was stunned and looked at him blankly, "I'm not in a bad mood."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
The two of them stood there in silence for a moment, and Gu Huaichen compromised, "Are you sure you didn't?"
"...No." Lin Youning said.
Gu Huaichen didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment of silence, Lin Youning remembered something, "Are you going directly to the airport?"
Gu Huaichen: "No hurry, go home first."
Lin Youning said "oh", thinking he was going to pack his luggage.
In fact, Gu Huaichen did have to pack his luggage, but the luggage was not the point.
It takes more than 40 minutes to drive home from the auction house. If there is a traffic jam, it may take an hour.
They were both silent for a while. Lin Youning looked at the hairpin in her hand and tilted her head and said, "Gu Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
"How long will you be away on this business trip?" Lin Youning asked.
Gu Huaichen lowered his eyes and asked quietly, "You don't want me to go on a business trip?"
"That's not what I meant." Lin Youning muttered, "I was just asking casually."
Gu Huaichen: "Whatever."
He repeated these two words and fixed his eyes on Lin Youning. Her hair was a little messy from walking around, but this mess just added a touch of charm to her.
Suddenly, his eyes moved downwards, falling on her palm-sized profile and the cheongsam she was wearing.
"Why did you think of wearing cheongsam?" Gu Huaichen asked in a low voice.
Lin Youning was stunned. "Those skirts in my closet are a little too revealing."
Either the dresses were off-shoulder, or backless, or very short, showing off a pair of long legs. Lin Yu-ning felt that those dresses were not particularly suitable for a charity auction.
Gu Huaichen understood what she meant, paused and asked, "So you think that cheongsam is not revealing?"
"?"
Hearing this, Lin Youning raised her head in surprise, "Do you think cheongsam is revealing?"
Gu Huaichen: "First of all, I want to make it clear that I don't mind whether you dress revealingly or not. I am just discussing this topic with you because you think cheongsam is more suitable for a place like this."
"... Then what?" Lin Youning said, "Do you think it's ugly or inappropriate?"
Seeing her dazed look, Gu Huaichen really wanted to ask who was spreading the rumor that Lin Youning was arrogant and unreasonable. She did have a bit of the airs of a young lady, but she was really not arrogant.
She is very dull.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaichen curled his lips and smiled, "Neither."
Lin Youning raised her eyebrows and was about to ask what that was, but Gu Huaichen suddenly lowered his head and said, "It's still more than half an hour before we get home."
Lin Youning: “I know.”
Gu Huaichen said calmly, tilting his head back slightly, "Mrs. Gu."
Hearing this title, Lin Youning vaguely felt that what Gu Huaichen was going to say next was not what she wanted to hear.
"Fuck...what?" Lin Youning met his dark gaze and suddenly felt a little nervous.
It's not like she hadn't seen Gu Huaichen look at her like that before, but that was in the room, on the bed.
Suddenly, Lin Youning had a bad feeling - could it be that Gu Huaichen wanted to...
Thinking of this, Lin Youning blushed and said quickly, "No."
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
He deliberately lowered the end of his voice, admiring her blushing ears, with a smile in his eyes, "Why not?"
Lin Youning blushed and said in a low voice: "Nothing is allowed."
Gu Huaichen: "Is it not possible to just sit in a different place?"
"Ah?" Lin Youning turned her head again, and after meeting his gaze, she opened her mouth with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid you... can't control yourself."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He closed his eyes and whispered, "No."
After he finished speaking, he didn't ask Lin Youning for her opinion, and regardless of whether she agreed or not, he picked her up from the side, carried her to him, and sat on his lap, "I'm going on a business trip soon. "
He said this, stopping Lin Youning from getting up, "I'm very tired, let me lean on you for a while."
“…”
