Chapter 074 [6000 Words]
She watched in amazement as Gu Nancy held the steering wheel with one hand, quickly opened the DVD with the other hand, took out the disc, and threw the disc out of the car window.
That action was simply done in one go, and Ji Xinyao was immediately stunned.
The windows closed again, and Gu Nancy's right hand also held the steering wheel again, and her expression did not change, as if the inexplicable coldness that had just been revealed from her body disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Such a man with self-control and hidden affection is so meticulous... Assist...
She looked at him like this for a long time, until she met a red light at an intersection, the car slowly stopped, and he turned his head to look at her: "What do you want to eat?" β
"Huh? I haven't thought about it yet......" Ji Xinyao hurriedly withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead.
"Then think about it." He naturally acted as if nothing had just happened.
Ji Xinyao kept looking at the traffic in front of her, and her mind was in a trance.
The disc looked like it had been in his folder for so long that he had forgotten what was there. But why is there only one "Comprehension" in that disc, and that song is so sad and helpless......
suddenly remembered what Gu Nancy had said to her outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, if she is no longer able to love in this life, it is the same for everyone.
What kind of woman can be so loved by Gu Nancy? What kind of woman can hurt such a man so thoroughly. What is Nancy Gu like when she is injured?
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him secretly, the sky was getting dark, and the main road of G City was already full of lights, reflecting on his handsome side face, casting a faint shadow on her side.
Suddenly, as far as she could see, she saw a small Sichuan hot pot on the side of the road, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't you choose this one, can you eat spicy?" β
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed outward, Gu Nancy glanced in the direction she was pointing, didn't say anything, drove the car to the intersection in front of her, turned around and drove towards the store she pointed to, the car stopped in front of the door, Ji Xinyao got out of the car first, because the parking space near here was full, he walked around the neighborhood and found the parking space, and then walked slowly towards this side.
"Are you sure you can eat spicy?" The two walked in, and Ji Xinyao asked a little uneasily.
He gave her a lukewarm glance casually, and she immediately stopped asking, and was angry, thinking that since you don't need to be polite, I don't need to be polite to you, so she took the lead and walked in quickly.
"Welcome, how many people are dining?"
Ji Xinyao said: "Two people." The two walked through the crowded table and saw that there were still vacant seats, so they turned around with a smile and said, "It seems that the things in this store should be good, there are so many people." β
Gu Nancy didn't speak, sat down directly, took the list handed by the waiter, and put it on her side without looking at it: "Order what you like to eat." β
Seeing that he was not at all uncomfortable here, Ji Xinyao sat down with confidence, looked down at the menu, gently drew the check mark on the top, and after drawing for a while, he raised his head and looked at him: "Do you like to eat more vegetables or more meat?" In terms of meat, lamb or beef? Do you eat duck intestines? β
"Greens."
"Oh." She lowered her head and looked at it, drew a check mark behind a large green vegetable plate, and then looked at the menu carefully before holding it up to hand it to him: "Look, is there anything to add?" I didn't order too much~! β
Gu Nancy took it, but didn't look at it, and handed it directly to the waiter.
"What do you two want to drink?"
"Mineral water."
"Mineral water."
The two spoke in unison.
Ji Xinyao suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, and Gu Nancy also stared at her lukewarmly.
"Okay, please wait." The waiter turned to leave with the menu, and at the same time, another male waiter put the bottom of a mandarin duck pot she ordered, and within a minute, the steaming heat spread between the two.
"I was worried that you wouldn't fit in." She raised her hand to take the mineral water from the waiter, and said as she unscrewed the cap of the bottle.
Gu Nancy raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you say?" β
"People like you, don't they usually go to that kind of palatial hotel, or some particularly high-end places, all kinds of food they eat are customized, and even the wine must be Moutai specially provided by the state?"
He smiled, as if it was a little hot because the pot was on the table, took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair behind him, and when he turned around, he said, "According to you, should I live in the South China Sea?" β
"Don't you have a place to live there? By the way, is it really all the country's "leaders" and "leaders" who live there in the South China Sea? β
"......" he glanced at her wordlessly, his eyes full of disdain.
"Isn't that right?"
"As a media person, as a media person, do you think this kind of speculative news has the value of being truthful? We are all human beings, and all cereals, large and small hotels and restaurants are the same. He didn't have any expression.
"I'll just say, I've always felt that these rumors are too deified......
He just smiled, and then the waiter brought over the plates they had ordered, and in a few moments, the pot of mandarin ducks, red on one side and white on the other, was filled with food.
Ji Xinyao raised her chopsticks and stirred lightly in the pot: "I'm afraid that you don't like spicy food, so I want the mandarin duck pot, and you can eat it here." β
"How do you know I don't like spicy food?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Guess what."
He chuckled, as if she had really guessed correctly, and after the two of them ate for a while, he really only ate the contents of the clear soup pot on that side.
Forty minutes later, the two walked out, Ji Xinyao looked up at the night sky where it was rare to see the stars and moon, and took a deep breath: "I'm too full to eat, I'm going to walk back ......"
Gu Nancy walked by her side and threw down a sentence: "This street is three kilometers away from Nippori, you can walk by yourself." β
Ga?
Ji Xinyao turned her head abruptly to look at his back as he walked towards the parking space over there, hurriedly followed, looked at his figure speechlessly, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm just talking about myself." β
He didn't speak, and after she jumped into the car again, he just stood outside the car and looked at her, his faint expression couldn't see anything, but he seemed to be thoughtful, and then got into the car.
After eating and drinking, the two of them didn't talk a few words along the way, they didn't talk about inconsequential topics until they returned to Nippori, and the time had already pointed to half past seven.
Pushing open the door, Ji Xinyao habitually took off her shoes and changed her shoes and put her bag on the locker next to the door, and suddenly, her body stiffened, and then she noticed the two people in the house.
He Jiezhen was watching TV, she was not surprised that she would live here for at least a month, and what surprised her the most was that Wen Qing was still here......
"Coming back? Didn't they all leave work early? Coming back so late? He Jiezhen got up and walked over, happily looking at the two people who entered the door together.
The corner of Ji Xinyao's eyes caught a glimpse of the disbelief and gloom in Wen Qing's eyes because she found them coming back together, so she smiled quietly and whispered, "We're just ......"
"Mom, you don't usually eat dinner, I'll accompany Xin Yao to eat casually outside." Gu Nancy's sudden voice interrupted her words, and the tone was like that of a husband who had a very good relationship with his wife, and naturally couldn't be more natural, closing the door behind her.
"No wonder." He Jiezhen smiled and nodded.
"Nancy!" Wen Qing stood up and greeted her with a smile, as if she was the wife who was waiting for her husband to come home, and raised her hand to take the coat he took off after entering the door.
Gu Nanxi paused, held the coat in his hand, glanced at the smiling Wen Qing, handed the coat to Ji Xinyao beside him with his backhand, and looked at Wen Qing with a light smile: "Don't you go back so late?" Aren't you afraid that the old man is worried? β
Although Wen Qing didn't receive the coat here, her expression remained unchanged, and she said with a smile at his words: "Nancy, I want to live here with my godmother, but my godmother said that it is not suitable, so I found someone to clean up the house next to me today, and from today onwards I will also live in Sunset, just to accompany my godmother!" What do you think? Surprise, right? β
Ji Xinyao didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two of them, but was stunned for a moment when Gu Nancy suddenly handed the coat to him, and when he saw his too natural movements, he didn't say anything, raised his hand to take the coat, turned around and hung it on the hanger.
"Fortunately, I also asked the decoration company to decorate the house at that time, and now I have purchased some furniture and daily necessities, so I can live in it directly!" Wen Qing continued.
Gu Nancy's eyes did not change: "You want to live in Sunset?" β
Wen Qing smiled happily and nodded, and He Jiezhen next to her also smiled: "Xiaoqing, this child said that she hasn't let me hold her to sleep for many years, when she was a child, she was afraid of thunder, crying and asking you to accompany her, and you refused to sleep with her, so I often hugged her, so she has been stuck to me for so many years, I haven't returned to China for several years, this child is very sticky, and she has to accompany me." β
Saying that, He Jiezhen turned her head and deliberately glanced at Ji Xinyao: "Xin Yao, you won't mind, right?" β
What can Ji Xinyao say? Besides, she could see a little apology and helplessness in He Jiezhen's eyes, knowing that she also loved this goddaughter, so she bent her lips: "How can I mind?" You were ...... It's a family......
At this time, Wen Qing suddenly looked at her with a smile: "Sister Xin Yao, I may disturb you a lot in the future." β
"Hehe, what's the excuse." Ji Xinyao felt that her acting skills were really amazing, even if she had no feelings for Gu Nancy, how could she not see Wen Qing's obvious purpose?
She couldn't tell whether she should be disgusted or should recognize her position, and obediently shrank into the bedroom to make room for them, and just as she thought so, her steps moved with her consciousness and walked towards the side of the secondary bedroom.
"Wait." Gu Nancy suddenly called out to stop her.
Ji Xinyao turned around, he walked towards her, and suddenly raised his hand and put it on her forehead.
"Didn't you say you weren't feeling well when you were on the road? Sure enough, I have a fever, go and take medicine. He said to himself, and then raised his hand around her waist and pushed her stiff body towards the master bedroom.
She looked at his still very natural expression in astonishment, and the doubts in her eyes were even more suspicious, until the person had been brought into the room by him, he did not close the door, only pushed her to a position that was invisible to the people outside, then put down her hand, and flipped through the drawers casually, but obviously not looking for medicine, but just for the people outside.
"What are you doing?" She asked in a puzzled whisper.
He just turned his head sideways and looked at her flatly, but did not speak.
Ji Xinyao has already come back a little, is he letting Wen Qing retreat?
Obviously, he said that this marriage is nothing more than a mistake and has nothing to do with love, but even so, he respects this marriage, at least he won't embarrass her with a third party between them?
She quietly watched him close the drawer, feeling a little funny, but also a little moved.
Is this a defense of her?
Even if she was being amorous, she really quietly received this love in her heart and smiled at him sincerely.
Gu Nancy closed the drawer again, turned her head and glanced at her so casually, touching the warm smile in her moist eyes, without any expression: "The old man is very insistent on Wen Qing's marriage with me, and you have to be prepared to look back on the house this weekend." β
She nodded, "I know." β
His calm eyes lingered on her face for a moment, then he turned and walked out.
"Xin Yao has a fever? Is it strict? Do you need to go to the hospital? He Jiezhen's concerned voice came from the living room.
"The burn is not strict, just let her rest early today." Gu Nancy said lightly, and then looked at Wen Qing: "How is Grandpa's health lately?" β
Wen Qing had been standing there in a daze, and when she heard him talking to herself, she immediately raised her eyes, and a sweet smile quickly condensed in her well-trained eyes: "Grandpa is fine, but I miss you very much." Nancy, are you going back this weekend for the Mid-Autumn Festival? β
Seeing him nodding, Wen Qing's face was suddenly full of joy: "Really? Then I must tell Grandpa sΓΉ the good news as soon as possible! β
"Well, tell the old man, Xin Yao will also go to accompany him for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The smile in Wen Qing's eyes stopped instantly, and she looked at him in surprise, but seeing that his eyes were flat, it was not easy to attack, so she let out a low "oh".
"It's not early, go back and rest, since the old man likes you to be by his side, let's stay outside for a few days and review the house earlier." Gu Nancy said gently.
"I want to spend more time with my godmother here." Wen Qing approached He Jiezhen, who was silent, and was full of smiles as if she had found the most powerful reason and backer.
"This kid ......" He Jiezhen smiled, feeling sorry for Wen Qing, but also understanding that this was not good, her eyes glanced at Gu Nancy, and saw that his eyes were flat: "Nancy, didn't Xin Yao just come to G City not long ago?" There must not be many friends here, Xiaoqing is the same age as her, and maybe they will become friends after getting acquainted with her......"
Gu Nancy raised her eyes, and Wen Qing hurriedly took over: "Yes, Sister Xin Yao is so easy-going, we will definitely get along well!" β
Ji Xinyao, who was in the bedroom, shuddered for no reason.
Pal?
How could she have the feeling that her wife and concubine were in the same room and had a good time......
Seeing that He Jiezhen also opened her mouth, Gu Nancy naturally didn't want to say anything, nodded, and walked up the stairs to go to the study to deal with some official business.
"Godmother, I'll accompany you to do skin care tomorrow!" Seeing that Gu Nancy went upstairs, Wen Qing didn't stick to it, but said with a smile on He Jiezhen, the only one in the family who didn't completely face her: "You haven't come back for so long, I know that there is a spa club in G City that is very good!" β
"You're going to please your godmother and know what I like!" He Jiezhen smiled with love in her eyes.
"Of course, I've been by my godmother's side since I was a child, and I've been paying attention to what you like since I was very young, and I've thought about honoring my godmother with Nancy for the rest of my life!"
He Jiezhen was very happy: "Ouch, you little mouth, it's getting sweeter and sweeter!" β
Just when the two were talking and laughing, Ji Xinyao couldn't sit still in the master bedroom, and wanted to take a shower and go to bed early when Gu Nancy was not on the first floor, but as soon as she came out of the bedroom, she saw Wen Qing and He Jiezhen laughing as harmoniously as a mother and daughter.
"Xin Yao, are you still feeling well?" As soon as He Jiezhen saw her, she walked over with a concerned face.
"It's okay, it's just a small cold." Ji Xinyao smiled, then turned her head and smiled at Wen Qing, who was very moderate in her behavior over there, since people have a degree of advance and retreat, she can't be too cold, right?
"You should also pay attention to small colds, since you have just taken medicine, go to rest early."
"I slept after taking a shower, Mom, you should also try your best to adjust the jet lag, otherwise staying up late like this is not good for your health."
"I know, good boy, go wash it, don't catch a cold again, it's really not okay, I'll ask Nancy to find a blanket for you to bring into the bathroom in a moment."
"Uh...... No, no need......" Ji Xinyao suddenly lowered her head, smiled with a "shy" face, and walked to the bathroom.
As soon as the bathroom door was closed, the voice outside was no longer audible, she didn't know if Wen Qing, who was very favored in the Gu family, continued to watch TV with He Jiezhen, or chatted with her, but she really didn't like to have this kind of inexplicable and worrying way of communication at home.
Anyway, it's already her home, isn't it?
Two hours later-
Study room on the second floor.
Gu Nancy looked at the several documents re-sent by the Land Bureau in the computer, and the mobile phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the number with low eyes, he picked it up casually, and before he could speak, a soft and cautious voice came from there: "Nancy, don't be so alienated from me, okay?" β
He sighed lightly: "Wen Qing, marriage is not child's play. β
"But I know you don't love her, I know you so well, I know you and she never knew each other, I also know that you haven't been here for two months since you got married, I know all that you don't like her at all, but why do you have to be like this to me, can't you be as good to me as before?"
"Don't always rely on the past, you are the same as Yufei, of course there will be love and care."
"But you just deliberately treated Ji Xinyao so well, I know that she is not sick at all, you are avoiding me!"
"If only you understood." He didn't explain, his calm eyes still looking at the computer screen, and the finger on the mouse tapped on the left button.
"Grandpa won't agree, you know what she will face if you take Ji Xinyao back to the house! She won't be popular! Grandpa and godfather don't like her! Why are you making them angry! β
Gu Nancy's eyebrows gradually tightened, and she didn't reply, just looked at a line of words on the screen, suddenly squinted, and her expression gradually became cold.
The Land Bureau actually dared to play word games against him! In this way, the matter is prevaricated!
Can't help it, he casually clipped the phone to his neck, tilted his head to hold the phone, and typed on the keyboard with both hands, Wen Qing heard the sound of the keyboard, and the voice finally choked: "Nancy ......"
"Alright, get some rest early." Without waiting for another sound, he suddenly hung up the phone, looked at Wen JiΓ n on the screen with indifferent eyes, and returned his hand to the keyboard again.
