Chapter 43 is a surprise
When Lin Youning saw the call from Gu Huaichen, she was a little surprised.
She picked up the phone and heard Gu Huaichen's deep voice, "What did he say to you?"
Lin Youning blinked, vaguely feeling that his tone was not right, "He didn't say anything special, he just wanted to introduce me to some jewelry or something, and when I was about to leave, he even said he wanted to buy me a cup of coffee."
"..." Gu Huaichen narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and walked to the French window, put one hand in his pocket and looked down at this familiar yet strange city, and said softly: "What do you say?"
Lin Youning: "Of course I refused. I'm not that easy to date, okay? You want to date me just for a cup of coffee?"
She is a bit arrogant.
Gu Huaichen smiled, his lips slightly raised, "Mrs. Gu did a good job."
Lin Youning snorted, "However, he changed his female companion."
Gu Huaichen: “Normal.”
Lin Youning choked up a little and said in silence, "Can I ask you something? Do you have any grudge against him?"
"Not really." Gu Huaichen closed his eyes, "Why do you ask?"
Lin Youning said frankly, "I felt that the way he looked at me was a little strange."
Gu Huaichen understood, "Don't pay attention to him when you see him in the future."
As if he knew what Lin Youning wanted to ask, Gu Huaichen whispered, "He is not a good person."
Lin Youning: “I can see that.”
Gu Huaichen thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Should I arrange a bodyguard for you?"
"?"
Lin Youning was dumbfounded: "Do you need to be so exaggerated? Didn't you say you have no grudge against him?"
Gu Huaichen: "He has mental problems."
Lin Youning was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "No need. I am not suitable for you to arrange bodyguards for me. I usually don't go to places where there are few people."
The places she goes are very limited, except for the dance studio, the shopping mall, or the SPA.
Lin Youning did not go to these places alone.
Gu Huaichen hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Okay, then I won't arrange it."
Lin Youning nodded, "Nothing else, I just thought I should tell you."
Gu Huaichen smiled: "Then hang up?"
Lin Youning: "Goodbye."
Without waiting for Gu Huaichen to react, she hung up the phone first.
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He was slightly speechless, raised his hand and pinched his brow, then called his assistant into the office.
Although Lin Youning does not need a bodyguard, he needs to arrange someone to keep an eye on Zhao Kaiji.
After shopping that day, Lin Youning didn't go out for several days.
Shopping is tiring, and she doesn't want to meet any annoying people again.
That day, Lin Youning knew that Lin Mingqi was not at home, so she went home to have lunch.
Zhao Tinglan knew that Gu Huaichen was on a business trip, so she asked Lin Youning, "So what have you been busy with these days?"
Lin Youning: "Salted fish."
Zhao Tinglan: “…”
She sighed helplessly, "Nothing to do?"
Lin Youning looked at her, "What are you looking for?"
Zhao Tinglan was about to give her some advice, but Lin Youning said indifferently, "I used to work at the musical theater. Weren't you and him unhappy?"
"...I'm not unhappy." Zhao Tinglan pursed her lips and whispered, "It's just that dancing is not a long-term solution."
Hearing this, Lin Youning found it funny: "Dancing is not a long-term solution, then what is?"
She asked Zhao Tinglan: "A full-time wife?"
Zhao Tinglan said hoarsely, "Ningning."
"Forget it." Lin Youning knew that Zhao Tinglan had been a coward all her life. It was rare for her to come home, and he wasn't going to quarrel with her. "Let's not talk about this. How are you doing recently? Has he not been home for many days?"
Zhao Tinglan paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "I came back a few days ago."
Lin Youning: "It's better if he doesn't come back. You've been watching him for so many years, aren't you tired of him?"
"Ningning." Zhao Tinglan said helplessly, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Youning snorted softly.
Zhao Tinglan didn't want these troubles at home to ruin her mood, so she said slowly, "Let's not talk about this. How long will Huaichen be away on business?"
Lin Youning: "… probably just these few days."
She hadn't contacted Gu Huaichen in the past few days. He had mentioned a few days ago when she contacted him. After that day, Lin Youning didn't ask again.
Zhao Tinglan nodded, paused and gave a warning, "Now that you're married, you should control your temper a little bit."
Lin Youning: “…”
She looked up at Zhao Tinglan, wanting to say something, but in the end didn't.
She had never agreed with Zhao Tinglan's ideas since she was a child, but there was nothing she could do. If Lin Youning objected, she would continue to lecture her and instill some messy ideas in her.
Lin Youning was not very happy with the meal at the Lin family's house.
After dinner, Lin Youning sat with Zhao Tinglan in the living room for a while and then left.
She didn't want to go back to Yun Gu Mansion for the time being, so she went to the dance studio to find Zhao Fu and dance with her to burn off the calories from lunch and to relax herself.
When dancing, Lin Youning can completely immerse herself in the world of dance without having to think about those troubles.
After dancing for a few hours, the two of them went to the side to rest, panting.
Lin Youning picked up the mobile phone next to her and unexpectedly saw the message that Gu Huaichen sent her half an hour ago, asking her if she had returned to the Lin family.
Lin Youning: [Yes, Uncle Li told you that?]
Gu Huaichen: [Yes.]
Lin Youning: [But I’m not at home now.]
Gu Huaichen raised his eyes: [Where are you now? ]
Lin Youning didn't think much about it: [Here in the dance studio, with my friend.]
Gu Huaichen was stunned and asked calmly: [Why don’t you let Uncle Li pick you up? ]
Lin Youning: [I'm too lazy to bother him to make another trip.]
At this point, Lin Youning said: [I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m calling Uncle Li now. I’ll be back later.]
Gu Huaichen: [Let me talk to him.]
Lin Youning thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll go change my clothes first."
Gu Huaichen: [Yes.]
Putting away the phone, Lin Youning looked at the people next to him and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Zhao Fu nodded: "Next time we have dinner together, if you didn't tell me in advance, I've already made an appointment with other people."
Lin Youning smiled: "Nothing."
After taking a quick shower in the dance studio's washroom, Lin Youning changed back into her own clothes.
After changing her clothes and saying goodbye to Zhao Fu, she lowered her head to send a message to Uncle Li, asking him if he had arrived.
A few minutes after the message was sent, Uncle Li replied: [I’m at the usual place at the door.]
Lin Youning raised her eyebrows, put away her phone and went downstairs.
The elevator door opened and Lin Youning walked straight to the old parking space Uncle Li mentioned.
The dance studio is located in an old residential area, surrounded by lush trees.
The old place Uncle Li mentioned was under a big tree not far from the entrance of the community. He would park there every time he sent her over.
Walking closer, Lin Youning saw the car.
She walked to the car, opened the door and got in. "Uncle Li, what have you done today——"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Youning clearly noticed something. She slowly turned her head and met the gaze from the side.
Eyes met.
Lin Youning asked in surprise, "When did you come back?"
Gu Huaichen admired the surprise on her face, and said slowly with a slight curl of his lips, "An hour ago."
He raised an eyebrow, "Mrs. Gu seems surprised."
Lin Youning looked at him, his lips moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's a surprise."
Gu Huaichen was startled, then suddenly smiled, "My honor."
