Chapter 91 Subtle Atmosphere
After Yan Shao left, Lin Youning wanted to move, but was too lazy to do so.
She looked at the untouched desserts on the table, thought for a few seconds, and asked Duan Yingzhen and Wen Ci in the group: [Want to have dessert? Su Ran ordered a lot of desserts and left without eating them. If you don’t mind, I’ll pack them up for you? ]
Duan Yingzhen: [Eat, eat, eat!!! This hotel's afternoon tea costs thousands of dollars. It would be a waste if you don't try it.]
Wen Ci: [You can eat a little, but it would be a waste if you throw it away.]
Lin Youning: [Okay, then I'll pack it up and go to Ci Ci's store. Is Ci Ci busy?]
Wen Ci: [You can take a break from your busy schedule. ]
Lin Youning chuckled: [Okay, see you later.]
Duan Yingzhen: [See you later. I'll change my clothes and go out now.]
Lin Youning: [I don’t have a driver today, so I won’t pick you up.]
Duan Yingzhen: [I took a taxi there myself.]
…
After agreeing with her friends, Lin Youning asked the restaurant staff to pack her food and ordered a few more desserts before preparing to leave.
Lin Youning had just finished packing and was getting up from her seat when she saw a man in a suit walking into the restaurant.
Eyes met.
Lin Youning asked with a little surprise, "Why are you here?"
Gu Huaichen frowned slightly and glanced at the bag on the table. "Going home?"
"...I'm not going home." Lin Youning was stunned for a moment before answering him, "I'm going to my friend's place."
She explained, "It's the friend who made the cheongsam for me before."
Gu Huaichen nodded and picked up the bags. "Let's go."
Lin Youning followed him in a daze.
When they walked out of the restaurant and entered the elevator, Lin Youning finally remembered to ask, "Did Yan Shao tell you I was here?"
Gu Huaichen hummed and looked at her sideways, "Why are you here alone?"
"I wasn't alone originally." Lin Youning said softly, "I was with Su Ran. She left first because of something."
After answering Gu Huaichen's question, Lin Youning felt strange, "You are not busy today?"
Gu Huaichen gestured: "Check the time."
Lin Youning took a look and saw that it was a little after four o'clock.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Huaichen's thin lips moved slightly, and he said with a cold humor, "I'm done."
Lin Youning: “…”
Their eyes met, and she said "oh" slowly, feeling that Gu Huaichen was a little strange at this moment.
"Then you take me to the cheongsam shop?"
Gu Huaichen: "Uncle Li is waiting for you downstairs?"
Lin Youning: “Not here.”
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, Mrs. Gu, do you need me to take you there?"
"?"
Lin Youning blinked, vaguely feeling that what he said was not quite right.
Didn't he come to me just to be her driver?
After mumbling a few words in his heart, Lin Youning hummed, "Please, Mr. Gu."
Gu Huaichen: "Mrs. Gu, you're too polite."
The two got in the car, and Lin Youning told the driver the address. Then she remembered something and opened Duan Yingzhen's dialogue box: [Did you get a taxi?]
Duan Yingzhen: [Just went out. ]
Lin Youning: [Then I'll pick you up. It's on my way.]
Duan Yingzhen: [Don’t you have a car? ]
Lin Youning: [Now we have it.]
Duan Yingzhen: [Okay, I'll wait for you at the door.]
After agreeing with Duan Yingzhen, Lin Youning looked at the driver and said, "Let's go to another place and pick someone up first."
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen glanced sideways, "Your friend?"
Lin Youning nodded.
The car was quiet for a few seconds. Noticing Gu Huaichen's gaze on her, Lin Youning was slightly puzzled, "...Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Huaichen said confidently, "I can't watch?"
Lin Youning choked, that wasn't what she meant.
She moved her lips slightly and asked curiously, "Mr. Gu, do you prefer the barbell today?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
After a moment of silence, Gu Huaichen raised his hand and pinched his brow, "Sorry."
Lin Youning snorted softly.
After a while, the car stopped at the gate of Duan Yingzhen's community.
Duan Yingzhen was stunned for a few seconds. Before she could react, the driver got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her.
After sitting down, Duan Yingzhen saw Gu Huaichen's cold face.
"Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu." Duan Yingzhen stuttered.
Gu Huaichen nodded.
Lin Youning: "Let's go."
Duan Yingzhen: “…”
After a few seconds, Duan Yingzhen picked up the phone: [You didn't say you were coming to pick me up with your husband. ]
Lin Youning: [Ignore him.]
Duan Yingzhen: [Your husband has such a strong aura, how could I ignore him? ]
Lin Youning: […Then just ignore it.] |
Duan Yingzhen: [. ]
Glancing at the two people interacting with each other, Gu Huaichen sneered silently, but did not expose them in the car.
When we arrived at the entrance of the alley where the cheongsam shop was, Lin Youning said that we could just get off there since cars couldn't drive in anyway.
The driver responded.
The car stopped, Lin Youning glanced sideways, "You..."
Gu Huaichen: "Do you want me to help you take your things over?"
Lin Youning was surprised that Gu Huaichen was so attentive. She nodded, "Okay."
She was very happy to let Gu Huaichen do the hard labor for her.
Gu Huaichen smiled, carrying a few plain bags and went to the cheongsam shop with them.
Walking to the cheongsam shop, Gu Huaichen looked up at the sign in front of him with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
"Ci Ci." Duan Yingzhen shouted, "Are you busy?"
Wen Ci came out from behind and said, "I'm here."
She was wearing a cheongsam and had a smile on her face.
Suddenly, when she saw the man standing next to Lin Youning, the smile on her face froze slightly, "Ningning, this——"
When Gu Huaichen saw Wen Ci, he also raised his eyebrows slowly.
"My husband." Lin Youning said, "Gu Huaichen."
Wen Ci smiled awkwardly, "Boss Gu."
Gu Huaichen looked at her, paused and said, "Ms. Wen."
Wenci: "Hello."
Gu Huaichen didn't say anything. He put his things down and turned his head to look at Lin Youning. "Call Uncle Li when you're done and ask him to pick you up."
Lin Youning nodded, vaguely feeling that the atmosphere between Gu Huaichen and Wen Ci was a little strange. She nodded hesitantly, "I know, go and do your thing."
After Gu Huaichen left, Lin Youning looked at Wen Ci one more time, "Ci Ci."
Wen Ci came back to her senses, "Ah."
She looked at the two of them and said, "Please sit down. There are no customers at the moment."
Duan Yingzhen was just looking at her phone and didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the people. She raised her head and said anxiously, "I'm so fed up."
Wen Ci and Lin Youning were amused by her reaction.
The two looked at each other, took out the things in the bag, and started to enjoy afternoon tea for three people.
At the same time, on the other side, after Gu Huaichen walked out of the cheongsam shop, he took out his mobile phone and thought for a few seconds, then sent a message to Liang Jingyan: [Where are you? ]
Liang Jingyan: [United States.]
Gu Huaichen: [Oh.]
Liang Jingyan: [What's up?]
Gu Huaichen thought for a few seconds: [It’s okay. ]
Liang Jingyan: [? ]
Gu Huaichen did not reply to his question. He pondered for a moment, then closed his eyelashes and sent a message to Lin Youning: [How long have you and Wen Ci known each other? ]
Seeing the news about Gu Huaichen, Lin Youning was puzzled: [It’s been several years, what? Is she your ex-girlfriend? ]
Gu Huaichen: [It’s not mine. ]
