Gu Ci's brows cleared up, but his tone was still calm: "Very good, I will do as I told you before. If you are unsure about anything, ask me again."
The phone was hung up.
Cheng Lu stepped aside. She really didn't want to admit that she was a substitute.
No matter what reason Gu Ci had for letting her become his wife, as long as he still had that woman named Jiaojiao in his heart, she couldn't let him be tempted.
"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I want to go back first."
Gu Ci: "You don't want to accompany me that much?"
She blinked, thinking there was something wrong with her ears: "Didn't you... find someone already? You should go and accompany her now."
As she spoke, she took a deep breath and tried to smile, "Well... don't worry about me. I know the essence of our marriage. If necessary, I will help you cover it up - um!"
The man's speed was as fast as lightning, and he was in front of her in a flash.
The strong arms hugged her slender waist tightly, almost lifting her off the ground.
The four lips were pressed together, and he pushed a round object into her mouth with the tip of his tongue.
——It’s sugar!!
Two seconds later, he let go of his embrace.
Cheng Lu's face turned red with embarrassment. She covered her mouth and stared at Gu Ci in disbelief.
What, what is this bitch doing?!
He has already found the sweetheart of his heart, why are he still teasing her?
Simply excessive!
Gu Ci sneered: "Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
"What words?"
"Let you be sweeter and don't say anything I don't like to hear."
Cheng Lu:......
Didn't he like what he just said?
He gently rubbed her earlobe with his thumb: "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"
"The Li family dinner? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had made a mistake and quickly changed her words, "Your birthday! It's your birthday."
Gu Ci raised his eyebrows: "You are quick to respond, but where is my gift?"
"How can anyone directly ask for a gift?" She was confused.
"I don't care, I'm just asking you for it."
"I'm afraid there are so many people in the entire Sichuan City and even in Country H who can give you gifts that they can't even queue up. Is this the only gift you need from me?"
His eyes were clear and sharp, and his smile was as sparkling and clean as the moonlight in the lotus pond in July: "I'm just asking if you want it, will you give it to me?"
She hesitated for a moment, then took out the gift she had bought before and handed it over to her.
It's a tie clip.
It is embellished with jadeite, luxurious and low-key, quite tasteful.
She also condensed some of her own abilities into jade, which could help Gu Ci absorb mild illness and ensure good health.
"This... is a little thoughtful, don't dislike it."
Gu Ci carefully held it in his hand and stared at it.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Cheng Lu felt uneasy: "If you don't like it, just give it back to me, and I'll think of something else to give to you."
"Is there any reason to take back something that has been given to someone?" He came to his senses and put the tie clip into his pocket.
She observed his expression carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ci liked the gift she gave him, right?
The next day was Gu Ci's birthday. Starting from today, many gift lists were delivered to Chenyuan in a steady stream. Gu Ci didn't even look at the list and rejected them all.
"This...was sent by your grandfather, why don't you accept it?" Cheng Lu was curious.
His eyes were cold and he was silent for a few seconds: "If you like these things, keep them. If you don't like them, just take them back." Gu Ci seemed to dislike mentioning the Gu family, and his attitude could be seen just from receiving gifts.
of alienation.
"But……"
"By the way, last time you said you liked the rough gems, but I wasn't sure which one was better, so I just bought the mine over there. When it's empty, we'll go over and pick it up together. You can use it to make a ring or a necklace.
Can."
Cheng Lu was already dumbfounded.
Who likes to buy gemstone jewelry directly from the mine?
Is this stuff so rich that you can’t wait to spend it?
"No need to spend so much money..."
Halfway through her words, the man blocked her and said, "This is a gift in return for your birthday gift. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me. Cheng Lu, we have only been husband and wife for two days, and you still don't let your husband go."
In your eyes?"
Cheng Lu:......
In front of him, her words were unkind.
Just giving her a tie clip gave her two more gem mines to her name.
Is this gift a bit heavy?
Gu Ci didn't give her a chance to refuse, so she spent her birthday as plain as water.
At night, he lay directly on the bed, patted the empty space beside him and said, "Come here, go to bed."
Cheng Lu resisted in his heart: "...it's better to sleep separately."
"Are you no longer sweet?"
Cheng Lu:......
During the day, the candy was so sweet that she was shy. She was afraid that the man would do something outrageous again, so she had no choice but to sleep next to him.
He naturally held her in his arms and fell asleep. After a good night's sleep, Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, he didn't read that woman's name again that night.
"Wait for me tonight and we will attend the Li family dinner together."
"Okay." Cheng Lu paused, "By the way, I have something to discuss with you. Let's wait until you finish your work in the evening."
He nodded.
The two had breakfast together, and Cheng Lu saw Gu Ci off.
Returning to the study, she unfolded the drawings and began to draw them seriously.
She wants to revive the grandeur of her master Shen Chong's medicine house.
You must use your own hands to pull the entire Cheng family out of the quagmire!
How great would it be if that land could be returned to your own hands?
In this way, she can build the medicine house directly there...
In the evening, Cheng Lu waited for a long time but didn't see Gu Ci. He made a call, but a woman answered the phone.
"Who are you……"
The woman's pretty voice was so pleasant: "I am Lan Yijiao. Are you Mrs. Gu?"
Lan Yijiao!
Cheng Lu felt like his heart was being tightened by a big hand.
"Where's Gu Ci?"
"Aci is still busy. What can I do for you?"
"fine."
She hung up the phone in a hurry and stood alone in the living room, feeling like her whole body was being soaked in cold water.
After a long while, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "What are you thinking about, Cheng Lu... It's not like you don't know that he has a crush on you. He became Mrs. Gu just to pay off debts. He doesn't treat you badly, so why... can't you let him go?"
Compared to Xu Guanzhou, Gu Ci is really a hundred times stronger.
She regained her energy, changed her clothes and went out.
Haofeng Industrial, Chairman's Office.
Gu Ci returned and took the phone back from Lan Yijiao.
His face was frosty: "Who allowed you to come in?"
Lan Yijiao was taken aback and quickly said with a smile on her face: "Aci, you have been looking for me all these years, isn't it because you have lost your old love for me? Now that I am back, aren't you happy?"
As she spoke, she moved closer and closer, almost touching his chest.
Suddenly, a force grabbed her arm and blocked her forcefully.
Gu Ci said coldly: "Who allowed you to come in? Who allowed you to touch my things?"
"A Ci!" Lan Yijiao was puzzled, "Didn't you ask someone to find me just because you wanted to see me?"
