17. Door to door
Xu Chen looked straight over, as if the air around him was condensed.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Yi opened his eyes slightly and replied, "A friend." β
The words fell, and Xu Chen approached her unhurriedly.
Gu Yi could clearly feel that the person in front of her was getting angry, and her slightly sharp eyes made her subconsciously take a step back.
Xu Chen stared at Gu Yi's face and said, "I called you, but you didn't answer once." β
Gu Yi was stunned.
took out his mobile phone from his bag, and it did show more than a dozen missed calls, all of which were Xu Chen's name.
The time was when she was resting in the guest room of Fu Minghan's villa.
"I'm sorry, I ......" After a pause for a few seconds, Gu Yi raised his eyes to meet Xu Chen's gaze, "I didn't hear it." β
Xu Chen did not answer immediately.
He still kept his eyes on Gu Yi's face, with obvious scrutiny, and after a moment, he suddenly sighed.
The aura of the whole person softened in an instant.
Not like Fang Cai's coldness, just like the usual warmth, Xu Chen said slowly: "Don't be like this in the future, I'll be worried." β
Gu Yi let out a "hmm" and responded softly: "It's me who is not good." β
Xu Chen's face in front of him was calm, he casually picked up the water cup on the table, passed his fingertips through the handle of the glass, raised his head and drank a sip of boiled water, facing the back of Gu Yi's hand, there was a burn mark, not big, but it was also obvious.
Gu Yi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your hand?" β
Xu Chen raised his hand and looked at it.
It was burned by freshly brewed coffee in Jiang Yaqin's place, and it was not strict.
Xu Chen smiled: "I was accidentally scalded by hot water, it's okay." β
Gu Yi turned around to get the medicine box, and when he passed by the door, he took the scarf off his neck, carefully folded it and put it at the head of the bed.
Back in the living room, Xu Chen was sitting on the sofa, catching a glimpse of her figure, his eyes moving with her.
Gu Yi stepped forward and used a cotton swab to help Xu Chen apply scalding ointment.
He silently looked at Gu Yi's slightly drooping eyes, and the other party blinked from time to time, and he could clearly see her thick and slightly curled eyelashes fluttering with the curtains.
Xu Chen suddenly spoke up: "You said you were with a friend, who is it?" β
Throwing the cotton swab in his hand into the paper basket, Gu Yi stood up.
She replied while packing up the medicine box, with no intention of concealing it, and said Xiao Cen's name.
If it was because he was afraid that Xu Chen would oppose his appointment yesterday so he didn't tell the truth, Gu Yi didn't care at this time.
I met Fu Minghan, and I asked what I wanted to ask, and I didn't have any worries.
Moreover......
Gu Yi looked at the expression on Xu Chen's face without showing a trace, he frowned, but he didn't show much surprise, as if his answer was expected.
"Xiao Cen said, I used to know him very well?" Gu Yi asked tentatively.
"I don't know much," Xu Chen met her eyes, "I only have a one-sided relationship with him, but I heard that he is a fun-loving master, and he has a lot of flowers." β
"Really?" Gu Yi didn't react much.
"I know I shouldn't say that about your friend, you have the right to be friends, but there are some things I have to say, Xiao Cen is not a particularly serious person."
Xu Chen said, his tone was quite serious, and seeing that Gu Yi didn't talk immediately, he continued: "He said that he was very familiar with you before, but how much do you remember about those things, people are unpredictable, how do you know if he is lying to you." β
Gu Yi replied: "I have a sense of proportion. β
Xu Chen Zhengse said: "I don't want you to be hurt in any way. β
In addition to being quiet, it is still quiet.
Xu Chen sighed and then changed his voice and said, "In a few days and New Year's Eve, come back home with me." β
Gu Yi raised his eyes and met Xu Chen's burning eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Yi realized what Xu Chen was talking about.
The Xu family.
Xu Chen had mentioned it a few times before, but each time he avoided it on the grounds of physical discomfort.
She is not familiar with Xu Chen's family, and she can even say that she has never seen it, but she occasionally hears Xu Chen mention that Xu Shenghui seems to have been sick a while ago, and his body is not as strong as before.
"Is your dad feeling lately?" Gu Yi couldn't help asking.
"It's good," Xu Chen said, "but you still have to pay attention to recuperate." β
Gu Yi nodded and hesitated: "Can I ......?"
Knowing what Gu Yi was going to say, Xu Chen interrupted her with a smile: "Anyway, we have to meet sooner or later, what are you afraid of, my dad used to have a good impression of you, no matter how bad it is, I am still here." β
"But ......"
"I know what you mean," Xu Chen looked at her deeply, "It's just an ordinary meal, last time my dad heard that you have been in a much better state recently, and he was very happy." β
Gu Yi fiddled with his fingers uneasily.
Xiao Cen's words flashed in her mind, she pursed her lips, but did not answer.
Xu Chen acquiesced to her, and looked at the wound where the medicine was applied, and showed a hint of warmth between her eyebrows.
Gu Yizhi mentioned casually: "Did you go to the company today, I thought you would come back very late." β
Xu Chen wrote lightly: "The meeting ended early, I was afraid that you would be bored alone and wanted to come back to accompany you, but it turned out that you were not at home." β
Gu Yi observed Xu Chen's expression very carefully, his demeanor was natural, and he even glanced at himself with a slight reproach at the last word, and there was nothing unusual.
She didn't know if the person who lied was Xu Chen or Xiao Cen.
The conversation ended with a doorbell that rang suddenly.
The door opened, and I saw a somewhat familiar woman standing in the doorway, with large burgundy curls and fiery red lips, as if she had seen it somewhere.
It was the engagement banquet between Chen Jun and Wu Xiaoxiao last time, but Gu Yi couldn't remember her name.
Xu Chen's footsteps slowly approached, and finally stopped behind Gu Yi.
The other party didn't look at Xu Chen, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said suddenly: "Miss Gu." β
Gu Yi didn't react for a while, and when she saw the bag in her hand, she looked quite familiar and even more puzzled.
The other party said, "Gu Yi, I didn't expect it, I sent you something." β
Gu Yi reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth, and looked back at Xu Chen suspiciously.
Unlike what he imagined, Xu Chen did not show the enthusiasm he showed when dealing with the guests, and not only that, but he also seemed extremely indifferent.
"I'm Jiang Yaqin, don't you remember me?" The other party reminded, "We met last time." β
Yes, it's called Jiang Yaqin.
All the memories became clear, it was the person who seemed to have no intention of reminding her of the rumors of repentance in the last episode.
"Of course I do." Gu Yiwan said.
Jiang Yaqin didn't delve into Gu Yi's obvious politeness, but bent her eyes happily because of it.
Xu Chen, who had been speechless, suddenly spoke: "What are you doing here?" β
He furrowed his eyebrows, as if he was a little impatient.
"Send something," Jiang Yaqin shook the handmade bag in her hand, and calmly looked at Xu Chen's slightly constricted dark eyes, "Mr. Xu, you won't be so stingy, I'm just saying a few words to your fiancΓ©e, and I won't rob her, what are you doing so nervous?" β
Xu Chen's face sank.
Even Gu Yi was stunned, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Jiang Yaqin smiled and said happily: "I'm just joking, I'm really angry?" β
ββ
didn't wait for Gu Yi's reply to him, Xiao Cen unwillingly glanced at the mobile phone that had not moved.
I obviously asked her to greet herself when she got home, but I didn't expect the little girl to go in and out of her left ear and out of her right ear, and she really forgot to the edge of the sky.
The person next to him touched a card, looked at Xiao Cen with an absent-minded look, stared at the 10,000 on the card, and asked, "Yo, what about Young Master Xiao waiting for the call?" β
"Nope."
Xiao Cen looked at his bad card and smacked his lips, touched it and threw it out boringly, and was about to say something more, when he heard Fu Minghan, who was sitting in the next house, speak indifferently.
"It's all the same," Fu Minghan pushed down the card, "Hu." β
"Damn!"
The words that had already reached his mouth turned abruptly, Xiao Cen leaned back lazily, thought about it or asked, he leaned his upper body close to Fu Minghan, and said in a low voice: "What do you think of the girl surnamed Gu today?" β
"How's that?" Fu Minghan glanced at him.
"Forget it," Xiao Cen also felt that asking Fu Minghan such a question was a bit petty, and waved his hand, "It's nothing." β
Xiao Cen took the time to pick up his mobile phone and looked at it, and when he restarted, Fu Ming's lukewarm voice suddenly came into his ears.
"You should also take care of it, don't keep harming other little girls."
Xiao Cen didn't pay attention to this kind of talk.
He subconsciously raised his eyebrows and quipped: "Do you know that I have harmed others?" When I get serious one day, I'll scare you to death. β
"It's almost as good as scaring your mom to death." Fu Minghan said disapprerovingly.
Xiao Cen understood the meaning of Fu Minghan's words.
Fu Xinyan has always thought that the entertainment industry is too chaotic and doesn't like those dramas, if she really wants to enter the door of Xiao's house, Gu Yi will definitely not look down on her.
After all, I grew up in the Fu family since I was a child, and I always have a little high in my bones.
"You think so, too?" Xiao Cen asked curiously.
If you really get married, you have to be the right person, although it is not a wealthy family, but you must have some family background.
Fu Minghan smiled when he heard this, and said unhurriedly: "I'm different from you." β
