Chapter 73 Mrs. Gu is unreasonable
Gu Huaichen: [Mrs. Gu sent me this photo. What is she hinting at? ]
Lin Youning: “…”
What could she hint to Gu Huaichen?
Lin Youning secretly complained in her heart and reminded the person on the other side: [Boss Gu, don’t be so narcissistic. ]
As if this sentence was not enough, Lin Youning added: [Narcissistic men will lose their looks. ]
This is what Lin Youning has always believed.
It's okay to know that you are handsome, but it's not okay to know that you are handsome and also be arrogant and narcissistic. Of course, it's okay to do it once or twice, but if it happens too often, it will become annoying.
Gu Huaichen: [Where did you get this statement? ]
Lin Youning: [My opinion.]
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He held his forehead in silence and raised his eyebrows: [Mrs. Gu is unreasonable.]
Lin Youning: [Aren’t you busy? ]
Why did this person suddenly come to me?
Gu Huaichen: [Busy.]
Lin Youning was puzzled. Before she could ask, Gu Huaichen called her and asked, "Are you still drinking coffee on the street?"
"...Yes." Lin Youning raised his eyes and saw the bodyguard not far away, and whispered: "Boss Gu, didn't the bodyguard report my schedule to you?"
Gu Huaichen: “No.”
Lin Youning choked.
Gu Huaichen: "My mother called me."
Lin Youning blinked, finally understanding why he would come to her in his busy schedule. She said, "I didn't tell mom that you didn't accompany me. Mom misunderstood."
Gu Huaichen responded, paused and said, "What time do you plan to return to the hotel?"
"It's still early. I'll go shopping for a while after I've rested."
Gu Huaichen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll message you after I'm done here."
Lin Youning hummed, "Bye."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
Looking at the hung up call, he was slightly speechless.
Without paying any more attention to Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning finished her coffee and prepared to leave. Before she could get up, a shadow fell in front of her, "Why didn't you come to see me when you came to Paris?"
"?"
Lin Youning looked up and was stunned when she saw the person in front of her.
"Are you stupid?" The man smiled at her gently and asked softly, "Don't you recognize me?"
Lin Youning came back to his senses and shook his head quickly, "No."
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother Xiuran."
Hearing her address, Zhang Xiu Ran raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't forget it."
Lin Youning laughed: "My memory is not that bad."
Zhang Xiuran is a neighbor brother that Lin Youning knew when he was a child. When Lin Youning was in junior high school, his family moved overseas and immigrated.
From that time on, Lin Youning never saw him again.
"I remember you and your aunt moved to the United States?" Lin Youning was surprised.
Zhang Xiuran: “…”
He smiled helplessly, "Do you really not read my Moments?"
Lin Youning was dumbfounded: "Ah?"
Zhang Xiuran: "I came to Paris two years ago and have been here ever since."
"Sorry." Lin Youning said awkwardly, "I only brush it occasionally."
Apart from dancing, Lin Youning has no patience for other things. She would check her Moments before going to bed every day, but she would never scroll back to the last time she scrolled. She would just scroll through it casually, and if she didn't see anything interesting after two minutes, she would quit.
Zhang Xiu Ran smiled, not wanting to argue with her, "Is the coffee in Paris good?"
Lin Youning was stunned. "I should be the one asking you this."
Zhang Xiuran: "I think it's just average."
Lin Youning chuckled, "You're not afraid that the coffee shop owner will hear it."
Zhang Xiu Ran smiled, his face warm, "They don't understand Chinese."
"Would you like a drink?" Lin Youning asked, "It's my treat."
Zhang Xiuran: "If Ningning treats us, I usually want to drink too."
Lin Youning was amused by him, "Then I would like to thank Brother Xiu Ran first."
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and have not been in touch for a long time.
After Zhang Xiuran and his mother moved to the United States, the two lost contact with each other. Lin Youning was busy with her studies in high school, and she had to take extra classes and practice dancing every day, so she didn't have much time to chat with Zhang Xiuran.
Over time, this person became a character in her memory.
What’s a little magical is that after meeting again after such a long separation, the two of them didn’t feel too obviously unfamiliar with each other.
Lin Youning vaguely felt that Zhang Xiuran was still the brother who took care of her a lot when she was a child. He was still cheerful and kind.
After drinking coffee and chatting for a while, Zhang Xiuran asked Lin Youning where he planned to go next.
Lin Youning said a little embarrassedly, "I was planning to go shopping again."
Zhang Xiuran: "Where do you want to go?"
"I'm fine with either." Lin Youning looked at him. "Since you've been here for two years, you're more familiar with this place than I am."
Zhang Xiu Ran nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you still dancing?"
Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, "Just a little amateur dance."
Zhang Xiu Ran understood and didn't ask any more questions, "Do you want to watch the show?"
"Today?" Lin Youning asked.
Zhang Xiu Ran: "There will probably be no performance today, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Lin Youning hesitated for a moment, "Sure, but you don't have to work?"
Zhang Xiuran: "It's a rare opportunity for us to encounter this kind of person."
Lin Youning paused.
Seeing her nervous look, Zhang Xiu Ran chuckled, "I'm just kidding. The performances are usually in the evening, after I finish work."
Hearing this, Lin Youning felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll give you an answer tonight."
Zhang Xiu Ran nodded and said, "Let me take you around first. There are a few vintage record stores here that you might like."
Since childhood, Lin Youning loved listening to music and collecting records.
"Okay." Lin Youning did not refuse.
The bodyguard not far away watched the two people talking happily, and hesitated whether to tell Gu Huaichen the news. But when Gu Huaichen arranged for him to follow Lin Youning, he also said that as long as his wife had no safety problems, then no matter what his wife did or bought, she did not need to report to him.
Gu Huaichen arranged bodyguards for Lin Youning just to ensure her safety, not to monitor her.
Gu Huaichen didn't need to monitor his wife, and he didn't want Lin Youning to feel that she was being monitored.
When the bodyguard was struggling, the two were about to leave. He followed them a few steps behind and saw them go to a record store with special decorations, talking and laughing.
After leaving the record store, I went to the bookstore.
“…”
Lin Youning and Zhang Xiuran had a lot of common topics and were so engrossed in their conversation that she didn't even bother looking at her phone.
Lin Youning didn't answer the phone for a long time, so Gu Huaichen called the bodyguard.
Seeing his call, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Huaichen responded and asked calmly, "What is your wife doing? Did she lose her phone?"
“…No.” The bodyguard answered honestly, thought for a moment and said, “Boss Gu, let me take a picture of you.”
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
Half a minute later, Gu Huaichen received a photo from his bodyguard. In the photo, Lin Youning and a gentle-looking man wearing glasses were standing by the Seine, enjoying the breeze and chatting. The atmosphere looked very good.
Gu Huaichen: “…”
