She became more and more happy in her heart. In the past, she was a little sheep in front of Chu Qiao, unable to withstand other people's attacks. Now the situation has changed, and she, Cen Zhiqiao, has become a serf and started singing. The little girl was stunned for a moment.
Stunned for a moment.
Gu Nianchen looked at her strangely, "What's so interesting about this?"
It is said that pregnant women have higher mood swings, but this is too scary. Not long ago, she was angry with him with a dark face, and now she is laughing like this. No wonder Gu Nianchen is surprised.
"I can't help but laugh!" Cen Zhiqiao finally suppressed his smile and joked sideways, but he couldn't stop laughing.
Gu Nianchen was a little frightened by her smile. He looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "Qiao Qiao, are you not angry anymore?"
"Angry? What are you angry about?" Cen Zhiqiao asked honestly with a smile on his face.
"It's just that Tingting deleted your phone number, and you were at home just now..."
"Of course I'm not angry anymore. Am I such a stingy person?"
Gu Nianchen wanted to nod and say yes, but he was afraid that her bright mood would turn sour, so he smiled and leaned towards her face: "My wife is the most generous, and of course she is not stingy."
"That's right." Who doesn't like nice words? Cen Zhiqiao immediately became beaming with joy, but when Gu Nianchen's warm lips touched her cheek, she suddenly thought of Du Tingting's cherry mouth. As soon as her eyes flashed, she stretched out her hand to push Gu Nianchen
A handful: "Don't give me ecstasy soup. It's one thing not to be angry, but it's another thing when you make a mistake."
Gu Nianchen raised his eyebrows: "Made a mistake? Do you mean to punish me?" As he said that, his smile became more and more serious: "How about punishing me by warming the bed?"
The playful smile made Cen Zhiqiao snort, push his chest, and curl his lips disdainfully: "Concentrate on driving, don't give me that playful smile."
After speaking sternly, Gu Nianchen hit a soft spot and didn't want to make trouble for himself anymore, so he laughed dryly: "It's so good, why are you angry again?"
However, Cen Zhiqiao raised his eyebrows: "I'm not angry, I'm just a friendly reminder. It's okay to call my brother and sister, but don't go down the road of no return."
"Huh?" Gu Nianchen frowned in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Cen Zhiqiao curled his lips: "Don't pretend to be confused, you don't know that Du Tingting likes you, right?"
"Um..." Gu Nianchen was speechless: "She is still a child. Besides, I only see her as my sister."
"You treat her as a sister, but she doesn't necessarily treat you as a brother. Anyway, I'm reminding you, it's up to you what to do."
"Um..." Gu Nianchen was a little speechless. He didn't know how to answer the question. He could only focus on the direction. His angular face looked vaguely confused under the street light.
Cen Zhiqiao watched from the side, feeling more and more at ease.
Gu Nianchen really had no other thoughts about that girl. She was not mistaken. In fact, if she hadn't seen Du Tingting eyeing Gu Nianchen covetously, she would not have deliberately reminded her. Who knows that Gu Nianchen is always slow to respond to feelings?
As a reminder, according to Hu Nianchen's character, he should be restrained.
Sure enough, Gu Nianchen didn't speak anymore, but looked forward thoughtfully and drove the car to Cen's house.
Of course Du Tingting loved Gu Nianchen deeply, otherwise she would not have spared her wonderful winter vacation to come to him for some internship. She had sworn when she was very young that she would not marry Gu Nianchen in her whole life, even now
Even if Cen Zhiqiao blocks her way, she will never retreat!
Early the next morning, she prepared breakfast early and waited for Gu Nianchen in the office.
Arriving at half past eight, Gu Nianchen walked in to the sound of the bell. As soon as he reached the door, a voice rushed up to him: "Brother Nianchen, good morning!"
There was no doubt that it was Du Tingting. Gu Nianchen subconsciously took a step back and avoided her hug.
"Tingting, morning!"
Obviously Cen Zhiqiao's words had an effect on his mind. He was a married man and he couldn't mess with a little girl like Tingting.
Unexpectedly, he would avoid it, so Du Tingting retracted her hand angrily and stood there with a not-so-good look on her face.
Gu Nianchen ignored it and entered the door on his own.
Du Tingting couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and opened her mouth to his back: "Brother Nianchen, you haven't eaten yet. I have prepared a love breakfast for you. Go and try it."
Gu Nianchen glanced at the table. The coffee sandwich was fully prepared, but he had no appetite.
"No, you can go out and work. I've already eaten."
A completely opposite attitude from yesterday, Du Tingting guessed that it was because of Cen Zhiqiao, her eyebrows lit up, and she approached her: "Brother Nianchen, are you in a bad mood? Did you quarrel with her?"
This was her purpose, but unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
Looking at her faintly smiling face, Gu Nianchen raised his eyebrows: "Your tone seems to want us to quarrel."
"Ah?" Du Tingting was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "To be honest, I hope. Because only if you quarrel will I have a chance, right?"
He didn't expect her to be so outspoken. Gu Nianchen was lost for a moment, but it only took a moment before he regained his composure.
"Tingting, listen to me." He and Du Tingting have known each other since they were children. Governor Du is very kind to him. He also regards Du Tingting as his biological sister, but he did not expect that she would have other thoughts about him.
It was fine if he didn't know before, but now he knows it. As the elder brother, he has to express his position.
"What did you say?" Seeing his solemn look, Du Tingting's eyes widened, her face as big as a palm full of confusion.
Gu Nianchen pushed her down on the sofa, closed the door, and sat down on the other side. He said: "Tingting, I hope you really want to exercise when you come here and don't have other thoughts.
, I am already married, and you are still a child. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I don't understand." Du Tingting suddenly became excited: "Brother Nianchen, I am already twenty years old and not a child anymore. I have the right to choose the person I like. I like you, so I want to be with you.
"
Gu Nianchen's lips trembled, "You can choose the person you like, but this person can't be me. I have always regarded you as my sister. My biological sister, how can a brother and sister have other feelings? What do you think?
"
"But you are not my brother!" Du Tingting raised her head indifferently: "I have never regarded you as my brother. I like you, I just like you!"
Forehead...
Gu Nianchen was a little speechless.
Is it because he is old or because today’s children are too fashionable? Why does he feel that something doesn’t make sense?
"Then you treat me as your brother from now on." Gu Nianchen used his usual tough tone. There was no room for change in this matter.
"Then why can't you treat me like an ordinary woman? I don't want you to be my brother, I want you to be my man!"
Another theory, Gu Nianchen was completely rigid, "Why don't you understand?"
"Stop, stop, stop! I don't need to understand, I just need to know that I like you, that's enough."
"But I don't like you!" Gu Nianchen's expression darkened to the extreme, and he shouted with a black face. He originally wanted to scare her, but Du Tingting was just stunned for a moment, and then started to giggle:
"It doesn't matter if you don't like it now, you will like it one day."
With a confident sentence, he stood up suddenly. Before leaving, he did not forget to raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Gu Nianchen, remember to eat all my breakfast of love!"
Even the names were changed, making Gu Nianchen look bigger than him - Why do girls nowadays have such weird tempers? First Cen Zhiqiao was already beyond his control, and now there's Du Tingting. She really thinks he's not busy enough!
I was not in a good mood, so I asked Shao Yuan to go out to eat and relax during lunch.
The two of them went to the nearest restaurant. Because it was dinner time, the restaurant was full of people, and even the parking spaces were very tight.
Gu Nianchen got out of the car first and asked Shao Yuan to find a seat to park, while he entered the restaurant first.
There were quite a few people there, but fortunately he had a seat reserved all year round. Under the guidance of the waiter, he walked up to the second floor. As soon as he reached the stairs, a familiar figure came into view.
Chu Qiao felt that she was going crazy.
Unless he was hiding in Jing Biao's house and not going out, Jin Hu would follow him like a shadow no matter where he was, and he would explode.
Just like today, she made an appointment with Jing Biao to have dinner together at noon. Unexpectedly, Jing Biao didn't come, but Jin Hu waited first.
She gritted her teeth and roared angrily: "What do you want, can you stop pestering me?"
The hoarse voice was replaced by Jin Hu's low smile: "Okay, you go die, and I won't bother you anymore."
Chu Qiao was about to go crazy. She scratched her hair irritably. She didn't want to waste words with him in public. She turned around and was about to leave, but the moment she turned around, her body froze.
At the top of the stairs, Gu Nianchen stood there with deep eyes, looking at her quietly. Chu Qiao's heart trembled, and a sense of shame suddenly surged into her heart.
"Smelly bitch, don't go!" Jin Hu kept pulling behind him, making Chu Qiao want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Don't turn your head in a hurry, and throw away Jin Hu's hand: "Go away, don't let me see you again, otherwise you will die or I will die."
After saying this, he ran out quickly, leaving Jin Hu stunned in place. It wasn't until he saw her figure disappearing from sight that he spat: "Damn, stinky bitch, do you think I'm scared?"
Yes, you can kill me if you can, otherwise I will kill you!"
*
It was none of his own business, so Gu Nianchen didn't care. But two days later, when the police came to his door with newspapers, he was really surprised.
The body of a man was found in a sewage treatment plant. His face was completely changed, and he had no identification documents. Only the restaurant's coupon was found in his pocket.
A criminal policeman handed the newspaper to Gu Nianchen and said politely: "Mayor Gu, we compared the deceased based on the confession of the restaurant waiter and confirmed that it was Jin Hu, because we heard that someone saw him that day.
I had an argument with a woman, so I wanted to come to you to find out what happened."
Gu Nianchen nodded slightly, but he knew that the matter was probably not that simple. Otherwise, as long as the restaurant staff testified, there would be no need for the police to come to him in person.
"I don't know if there's anything I can do to help. You're welcome, just ask."
At this time, Cen Zhiqiao heard the noise and walked down from the second floor. The policeman took a look and his eyebrows suddenly lit up: "That's it. We also want to ask Miss Cen if she knows where Miss Chu Qiao is now."
It was for such a purpose. Cen Zhiqiao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nianchen: "Chu Qiao...what's wrong with her?"
The question was asked by Gu Nianchen, but Gu Nianchen couldn't answer. In fact, he understood seven or eight points of it, but secretly he still felt that it would be better to say such words from the mouth of the police.
So he looked at the policeman beside him: "What's wrong with her?"
"It's like this. We suspect that she is related to the murder of Jin Hu. We want to find her for investigation, but we can't find her. I know her relationship with Miss Cen, so I wanted to ask you if you know."
Gu Nianchen has always been worried about Chu Qiao, and he is always worried that her news will affect Cen Zhiqiao's emotions, so the lack of news from her in these days is the best news for him.
Who would have thought that Qiao Qiao would be approached because of the murder case, or because of Chu Qiao. It was inevitable that Gu Nianchen would be a little worried.
Cen Zhiqiao was just stunned for a moment, then his expression remained normal: "I don't know her whereabouts, so I can't help you. I'm very sorry."
Let's not say whether Chu Qiao killed the person or not. Even if she was in despair, according to Chu Qiao's character, she would not come to Cen Zhiqiao.
Seeing that the police couldn't ask anything, they didn't wait long, so they both said goodbye and left. When only Cen Zhiqiao and Gu Nianchen were left, Gu Nianchen got up and walked to Cen Zhiqiao's side.
"Qiaoqiao, are you okay?" he said cautiously, really worried that Cen Zhiqiao's mood would be affected by this.
But Cen Zhiqiao lowered his eyes and looked at the newspaper on the sofa, sighing almost unknowingly: "That person was Chu Qiao's former sponsor? And then he died?"
Gu Nianchen didn't know what she was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and could only nod: "It seems that he came to H City after he was released from prison. I saw him pestering Chu Qiao two days ago, so..."
"So the possibility of Chu Qiao killing someone is very high, right?"
She didn't know what she felt in her heart.
For Chu Qiao, she felt more resentment than family affection. She even believed that someone as vicious as her would really kill Jin Hu in anger, even though she knew she shouldn't think so.
"Qiaoqiao, don't think too much. The investigation is a matter for the police. You have nothing to do with her anymore. What you have to do now is to have a good pregnancy, do you understand?"
Of course she knows.
He nodded, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just feel a little bloody."
It was very peaceful, and Gu Nianchen felt at ease. No matter what Chu Qiao did, it would be fine as long as it did not affect Cen Zhiqiao's mood.
It really didn't have any impact. Although I asked Gu Nianchen about the progress of the case from time to time, he didn't show too much emotion.
And at this time, Mei Zi returned to China.
It was because the Tong family made a decision that she came back.
It was already the second day when Cen Zhiqiao saw her. He hadn't seen her for a while. Meizi seemed to have gained some weight, but she was not in good spirits and looked a little haggard. As soon as he saw Cen Zhiqiao, he threw himself into her arms.
.
"Qiaoqiao, I am so wronged."
He went back to Tong's house the day before, and Cen Zhiqiao had already heard about the decision there.
It seems that Mei Zi's mother-in-law knew about the mistress's pregnancy and forced Tong Ruidong to divorce Mei Zi and marry the mistress who had a child.
This was of course a huge blow to Mei Zi, and since she couldn't go home to complain, only Cen Zhiqiao could make her shed tears.
"Damn Zhang Cuifen, damn Tong Ruidong, damn..."
After scolding everyone in the Tong family, I finally felt better. I took the tissue handed over by Cen Zhiqiao and slapped it twice before raising my head pitifully: "Qiao Qiao, I still want to handle this matter."
I haven’t told my family yet, can I stay at your house for a while first?”
She and Cen Zhiqiao are the same. Apart from each other, they rarely have close friends, so they can only rely on each other when they are in trouble.
Cen Zhiqiao naturally agreed and ordered Aunt Lan to clean up the house, while she and Mei Zi went to the living room.
"But what are your plans? You can't keep your family from knowing about this. Besides, even if you intend to hide it, if you really get divorced, you can't do it silently."
At this point, Mei Zi couldn't help sighing: "Who knows, Zhang Cuifen insists on her grandson, Tong Ruidong refuses to divorce, and that bitch mistress, crying and fussing about her grievances, is almost annoying.
Dead."
She was clearly the one who had been wronged, but why did she end up making such a fuss that she was no longer a human being?
She's not a mistress, why are you causing trouble for her!
"Hey, during those days in Paris, I always thought, why were I so anxious to get married in the first place? It would be better to go out to study like you and do what you want to do, and it would be better than the life you are living now."
She visited Cen Zhiqiao's school and communicated with Gu Zuowei. She felt more and more that her vision was not broad enough and she still had a lot to learn.
"Qiao Qiao, why don't you come and teach me? The school won't accept me at my age, but with you, a chief costume designer who has won international awards, to teach me, maybe I will be a late bloomer."
She now understands that, as a woman, there is nothing better than having her own career. What is a man? In the end, he is just as unreliable.
"Teach you, forget it. I didn't even dare to look at your grades when you were in school. I don't want to ruin the reputation of our school."
Smiling and joking, Cen Zhiqiao was slightly touched in his heart.
"Don't be like this, people are very sad now, and you are throwing cold water on me."
Mei Zi pursed her lips, shook her head and sighed, which made Cen Zhiqiao couldn't help but smile.
"You are an invincible little strongman. The more you are cold-blooded, the more you will work hard to become stronger."
"Haha--" You can laugh even if you are in a bad mood. Listening to Cen Zhiqiao's cold jokes, you suddenly feel like you are back in school, when the two of you were carefree and poor all day long.
Mei Zi reached out and stroked Cen Zhiqiao's belly: "But Qiao Qiao, I'm serious, I want to learn fashion design again. Didn't your Uncle Gu hold an exhibition for you? Why don't you consider opening a store, and then I'll give it to you?"
Are you an assistant?"
It's about some of Gu Nianchen's tricks when he proposed.
It was not that Cen Zhiqiao had never thought about opening his own shop and doing what he liked before, but after returning to China, things around him never stopped, so this idea was shelved.
Now that Meizi mentioned it again, her heart, which was ready to move at that moment, suddenly boiled.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. When have I ever joked with you about serious matters? I have thought about it. I want to be a woman of the new era and make the Tong family's bastards regret it!"
*10,000 words, done, I’m exhausted, go to bed, good night everyone~*
