Chapter 40 What I Want
Lin Youning suppressed her smile, knowing that Su Ran must be dumbfounded at this moment.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head and replied: [You tell me, he shouldn't go to that kind of place. ]
She still believed in Gu Huaichen's point.
Su Ran: [Shopping with other women. ]
Soon after, Su Ran sent her a photo and told her: [I saw it in another group. The person said that they ran into your husband in New York. As for who the woman next to him is, they don’t know.]
Lin Youning stared at the photo for a while and replied to Su Ran: [Thank you.]
Su Ran: [What are you going to do?]
Lin Youning: [First ask who the other person is. ]
Su Ran: [That’s it?]
Lin Youning: [In this photo, the two of them were just shopping at a safe distance, and they were not caught in bed. What else can I do? ]
Lin Youning is not stupid. What if the other party took this photo on purpose just to let her see it?
She couldn't fall into the trap set by the other party.
Su Ran choked up, and felt that what she said made some sense: [Okay, remember to tell me if you ask me, I'm curious.]
Lin Youning: [Yes.]
Su Ran: [But why are you so calm? ]
Lin Youning: [What else? ]
Su Ran: [This is your husband, shouldn’t you be angry?]
Lin Youning: [After asking, it’s not too late to get angry. ]
Su Ran: [What you said makes a lot of sense.]
Lin Youning: [That’s a must.]
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Youning saved the photos that Su Ran sent to her.
She was not in a hurry to find Gu Huaichen. She was shopping with Wen Ci Duan Yingzhen at the moment and did not want to ruin her good mood for the time being.
But even so, Wen Ci and Duan Yingzhen still noticed her silence.
"Ningning." After not hearing her voice for a while, Wen Ci turned around and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"
Duan Yingzhen also turned his head to look over, "Yeah, are you tired?"
Lin Youning was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I was just thinking about something. Shall we continue shopping?"
Duan Yingzhen: "Okay."
After walking a little further, Lin Youning looked at the milk tea shop not far away and said, "I suddenly want to drink milk tea."
Duan Yingzhen and Wen Ci looked at her in surprise, "This is it?"
Lin Youning: "Yes, I haven't been performing on stage recently, so I don't need to control my diet too much."
In the past, when she was about to go on stage to dance, Lin Youning would be very strict about her diet.
But lately, it's become clear that she doesn't need it.
Wen Ci hesitated, "I can't sleep if I drink at night, won't you?"
Lin Youning: “…Probably not.”
Duan Yingzhen: "Then I'll drink with you."
Lin Youning chuckled, "If you can't sleep, don't drink. It's okay for me to drink alone."
"I don't deserve to sleep." Duan Yingzhen said aggrievedly, "I have to write a manuscript when I go back later."
Two people beside him: "..."
Yes.
Duan Ying is really a night owl and is still online at two or three o'clock every day.
After queuing up to buy two cups of milk tea, the three of us finished shopping at the last section of the night market.
After shopping, Uncle Li also came to the roadside to pick her up.
Lin Youning first asked Uncle Li to send his two friends home before returning to Yungu Mansion.
After returning to Yungu Mansion, Lin Youning went into the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time she slowly finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, it was already twelve o'clock.
Looking at the time, Lin Youning thought for a few seconds and sent a message to Gu Huaichen: [Mr. Gu, are you busy? ]
Half an hour later, Gu Huaichen saw the message from Lin Youning.
It is 12 o'clock at night in China and 12 o'clock at noon in New York.
At twelve o'clock, Gu Huaichen was in a meeting. The meeting was delayed for a while and ended at half past twelve.
Seeing Lin Youning's message, he narrowed his eyes slightly and replied to her: [Why haven't you slept yet? ]
Lin Youning: [I just finished taking a shower.]
Gu Huaichen: [Out? ]
Lin Youning: [Yeah, I went shopping with my friends. How about you? ]
Gu Huaichen: [Me what? ]
Lin Youning: [What are you busy with today?]
Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a few seconds and asked: [Does this count as an inspection? ]
Lin Youning: […If you think it’s okay, then go ahead.]
Gu Huaichen smiled and called her directly.
When she saw the phone, Lin Youning was a little surprised. She hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone. "Hello."
Gu Huaichen's deep voice came from the other side and penetrated her ears, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning raised her hand to rub her ear, then pursed her lips uncomfortably, "Mr. Gu."
"I call you Mrs. Gu and you call me President Gu?" Gu Huaichen asked.
Lin Youning said nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, Gu Huaichen whispered, "What happened?"
Lin Youning was confused, "Why do you say that?"
Gu Huaichen said slowly, "I've been on a business trip for a few days. You didn't look for me in the past few days, let alone ask me what I was doing. You suddenly looked for me today. I can't think of any other reason except that you have something to ask me."
Gu Huaichen was not so narcissistic as to think that Lin Youning was only thinking about herself.
Their relationship as a couple is not yet to the point where they would miss each other after being apart for a few days.
Even if I miss you, it won't be that deep or heavy.
After hearing what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning stopped being shy and said, "Then I'll just say it directly?"
Gu Huaichen: "Go ahead."
Lin Youning: "Someone sent me a photo today."
Gu Huaichen: "What photo?"
Lin Youning: "You and other women."
She asked, "Who did you go shopping with in New York?"
"Shopping?" Gu Huaichen raised his eyes and suddenly thought of something, "The woman in the white suit?"
Lin Youning: “Yeah.”
"I didn't go shopping with her." Gu Huaichen pinched his brow helplessly and said, "The manager of an overseas company."
Lin Youning: "So why are we shopping together?"
It's strange no matter how you think about it that Gu Huaichen goes shopping with his manager.
"No." Gu Huaichen was speechless, "That shopping mall is an industry invested by the Gu family."
He went there to inspect the work.
Lin Youning: “Ah?”
She didn't even know that the Gu Group also had investments in shopping malls overseas.
Gu Huaichen smiled and said, "Is it clear now?"
Lin Youning's lips moved slightly, "The manager of the mall?"
Gu Huaichen responded.
Lin Youning: “…very impressive.”
"..." Gu Huaichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "After knowing this, is this the only feeling you have?"
Lin Youning admitted: "That's true. In fact, from the photos, we can see that you two don't have any close relationship."
She paused, "But I think it's better for me to ask to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Gu Huaichen: "Should I thank Mrs. Gu for her trust?"
Lin Youning: "If you want to thank me, I won't hold you back."
Gu Huaichen was speechless and was amused by her.
After a moment of silence, Gu Huaichen closed his eyes and said seriously: "I have a good memory. I haven't forgotten what I promised you before getting the marriage certificate."
Before the two of them got their marriage certificate, Lin Youning didn't ask for anything from Gu Huaichen. She didn't need Gu Huaichen's property, nor did she need him to give her any money after they separated.
This kind of thing is almost impossible in a wealthy family.
Even if Lin Youning wanted it, the Gu family might not give it to her.
Therefore, after weighing all factors, Lin Youning only made two requests to Gu Huaichen. One was that he must not cheat on her. If he fell in love with other women, she could divorce him directly and would not ask him for any compensation. The other was that he must protect her and her mother.
Although Lin Youning often felt very disappointed with Zhao Tinglan, she was still her mother after all.
She was worried that Lin Mingqi would bully her after she married Gu Huaichen, and she was unwilling to divorce.
So Lin Youning thought, if possible, she would ask Gu Huaichen to help look after her and put pressure on Lin Mingqi. At least, she would make sure that he would not dare to touch Gu Huaichen's mother-in-law easily.
Gu Huaichen agreed to these two conditions.
In addition, Gu Huaichen gave her an unlimited supplementary card. He told Lin Youning that he should do the two conditions he promised her.
She is his, Gu Huaichen's, wife, so he won't be harsh on his own wife. Lin Youning can buy whatever she wants, and Gu Huaichen won't have any objection.
“…”
Hearing what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning remembered and licked her lower lip a little embarrassedly, "I know, but——"
"But you're worried, right?" Gu Huaichen continued.
Lin Youning said vaguely: "It's not that I'm worried about you."
She was simply unsure about men as creatures.
Gu Huaichen understood what she meant and didn't feel angry.
He was silent for a moment and called her, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning: “What?”
"Is there anything you want?" Gu Huaichen asked, "I'll be back next week. Tell your assistant what you want and I'll arrange for him to buy it."
Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, "...then let me think about it."
Gu Huaichen: "No need to save money for me."
Lin Youning's lips curled slightly, "Then I will ask for a lot."
Gu Huaichen: “Sure.”
“…”
