There were not many people in the restaurant, so they chose a seat with a good view.
As soon as I sat down, I saw several people walking next to me, chatting happily.
Gu Xicen raised his eyes and saw one of them, his eyes were startled. But it only lasted for a moment, and then he returned to his original state. The other person also noticed him and glanced this way.
Gu Xicen smiled at him and nodded gently. The latter also smiled, looked away, talked to the person next to him, and left the restaurant together.
Noticing his expression, Lin Yuer turned her head and asked, "Who is it?"
All you can see is a familiar figure...
Gu Wangchuan said goodbye to those people at the door of the restaurant and got into the car. He couldn't help but glance towards the restaurant and fixed on a pair of people in front of the window. He narrowed his eyes, turned his head and told the driver to drive.
Lin Yuer had a good appetite, but Gu Xicen just sat opposite and watched her eat with a smile.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you looking at me? If you look at me again, it will end up in my stomach."
Gu Xicen smiled and said, "Isn't it the same if I eat you until you reach your stomach?"
"Unreasonable!" Lin Yuer whispered, her cheeks still blushing under his high-pressure gaze.
He chuckled, "Where do you want to go later?"
Lin Yue'er said without thinking, "Company."
Gu Xicen's eyebrows twitched twice and she leaned forward, "Ms. Lin, do you know this is our first date?"
Lin Yuer shook her head honestly, "It's not like we've never been alone together, so how can it be considered a first date?"
"That's different."
"Why is it different?"
"This is a date after you become my woman. Of course it will be different."
Seeing what he said without blushing or heart beating, coming to him, as long as it is the truth, there is nothing disgusting about it. Lin Yue'er lowered his head to drink the soup, pretending not to hear, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was unintentional.
of exposure.
After lunch, the two left the restaurant. Lin Yuer suggested not to drive, so the two walked along the sidewalk. They were dating wherever they went.
Gu Xicen embraced her, held her hand, and walked with her through the streets of the city.
He is no stranger to E City. He grew up here and is familiar with every street and intersection here. However, walking with her on the street today, he found that the scenery along the way has become different. No matter how familiar it is,
There is also a sense of freshness.
Occasionally, he glanced at the woman next to him. She narrowed her eyes comfortably, and the corners of her mouth were always slightly raised.
Lin Yue'er almost forgot how long it had been since she had such a comfortable and unburdened stroll. Either her mood was too heavy and she lost interest, or she had too many tasks assigned to her and lacked this leisurely atmosphere. Now, in her
After a few days of crazy reporting with Gu Wangchuan, she disappeared, including the news reports on the Internet, which were all deleted. Her mood was different, and she became more relaxed, even if she faced something like that again.
, and she will respond calmly.
Yes, she had a past with Gu Wangchuan. She would not deny it, nor would she hide it. It was precisely because she had loved, suffered, and hated that she now knew more clearly what she wanted.
A life.
Gu Xicen's identity did make her hesitate. With him, it would never be possible to forget that past. He will always remind you that he is his brother, an unethical existence in the eyes of ordinary people.
But, so what? Before loving someone, who would first consider which one is loveable and which one cannot be loved? If this were true, how could there be so many crazy men and resentful women in the world?
Love, like life, requires courage and commitment.
Now that you have chosen, you will no longer be afraid.
The two were holding hands and walking leisurely. At this time, a little girl in a red skirt ran over. She was only five or six years old. She was holding a balloon in her little hand. Just in front of the two of them, it fell to the ground with a plop.
If you subconsciously let go, the balloon will fly away.
Lin Yuer was anxious and wanted to help her up, but Gu Xicen had already stretched out his hand, picked the little girl up from the ground, and held her in his arms.
"balloon……"
He stood up, raised his hand, grabbed the balloon easily, and handed it to her.
The little girl was originally in pain, her mouth was flat, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she was about to cry. But after seeing the balloon, she smiled again.
Seeing her smile, Gu Xicen also raised her lips slightly with a warm smile.
Lin Yuer couldn't help being attracted to him because of his warmth.
"Thank you, uncle!" The little girl smiled sweetly and was not afraid of strangers. She put her little hands around his neck and kissed him on the face.
Gu Xicen was startled for a moment, and then his handsome face seemed to be illuminated by layers of crystals, making people's hearts flutter.
"Mint……"
Hearing this name, both of them were shocked at the same time.
Lin Yuer's eyes widened and he looked at the little girl in his arms, a beautiful, healthy... Mint.
The little girl's mother chased after her and saw that she was fine. She was relieved and kept thanking Gu Xicen and Lin Yuer. Then she took the little girl's hand and left.
Lin Yuer stood there, and the little girl's figure gradually disappeared from her sight. When she came back to her senses, she realized that at some point, she had burst into tears.
At this time, someone held her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. His chin rested on the top of her head. He didn't say anything, he just held her like this.
As if she felt a little embarrassed, Lin Yuer smiled, smiling very hard, but her voice was choked with sobs, "If Mint was still here, would he have grown up so healthily, right?"
"...Yes." He said.
Lin Yue'er sniffed and looked up at the sky, trying hard to push back the tears. However, more and more tears flowed.
He looked down at her and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers, "Fool, you must concentrate when you cry. Don't accumulate sadness."
She raised her eyes, as if accusing her, "How could anyone make someone cry like this?"
"I cried today, don't cry again tomorrow." He murmured, not caring about the glances of passers-by, he just placed her in his arms and cared for her carefully, as if she was a rare treasure that only belonged to him.
Lin Yuer slowly closed her eyes, feeling the comfort he brought, and after a long time she said, "Xicen, let's go back to Marseille in a few months."
Gu Xicen lowered his eyes and brushed her gentle gaze, "Okay."
She wanted to personally implement Xiangyue Company's European plans for the second half of the year. By then, she would have an honest reason to leave.
Whether it's sadness or regret, it will all be buried in this city. When the glory is gone, maybe you can take it out and savor it carefully. The taste will be much lighter.
Lin Yue'er took a deep breath, hugged his waist, and said softly, "Xicen, no matter what happens, I won't allow you to leave me."
This was the first time she had given such a domineering order, but he readily accepted it.
