Chapter Twenty-Five: She felt like she had never known this man
Jingcheng booked a four-person private room, a square Zhuo by the window, two double sofas on both sides, and the green plants in the house are clothed, elegant and quiet.
But Lu Anran felt uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.
Because Gu Liangchen actually threw the genuine Mrs. Gu alone on the opposite side and sat with her.
Not only that, but he also approached her with the menu, and asked her what she liked to eat in a harmonious voice.
It was so close that his thick eyelashes almost touched her face.
Lu Anran felt that this man must be crazy.
Her skin was already thin, and she suddenly felt that her cheeks were on fire, and she warned with her eyes while hiding, "I'm not a picky eater, Mr. Gu can just order it." ”
But the man didn't seem to see her warning gaze, and continued to say as if no one was around, "If you are not a picky eater, there is no picky eater in this world." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the waiter and ordered four dishes and one soup, all of which she liked.
Then he advised, "Don't add coriander, no carrots, no fungus for side dishes, no sugar for seasonings, more vinegar and less salt, and don't put dark soy sauce for soy sauce." ”
Lu Anran, "......"
He didn't expect him to remember her tastes so clearly.
There was a slight strangeness in my heart, and there was some sour pain.
She looked up at the woman opposite who always had the same expression, and she was even more puzzled, seeing that her husband was so close to other women, Zhu Lanyi could still be so calm?
But she couldn't calm down, took a sip of tea, and broke the short silence with a voice, "Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu can just say it if they have something to say, don't beat around the bush like this." ”
Gu Liangchen snorted, and said in a doting tone, "You really haven't changed at all in this hurry." ”
Then he reached out and picked up the half cup of tea she had left, and drank it all gracefully and naturally, before raising his eyes to look at the woman opposite, "Lan Yi, come on." ”
Lu Anran frowned slightly, and the roots of her ears were hot, because she clearly saw that Gu Liangchen deliberately put his thin lips on the place where she had drunk when he drank water.
Zhu Lanyi naturally saw it, the hands resting on her knees clenched tightly, the expression on her face stiffened, and then slowly pulled out a far-fetched smile, and every word she spit out seemed to be very difficult, "Actually, I and Liangchen, we are ...... Marriage by agreement. ”
"......" Lu Anran's expression was confused, feeling that he couldn't understand.
In her cognition, marriage is nothing more than two kinds, either a union of love or a marriage of profit.
Marriage by Mutual Agreement...... What's that?
Gu Liangchen stared at her coldly, "Go on." ”
Zhu Lanyi bit the inner wall of her lip, her face became pale little by little, and the smile on her face slowly revealed bitterness and resentment, and the next words were almost a bit of gritted teeth, "We are just a nominal husband and wife, and for more than two years, from beginning to end, he has not touched me." ”
After saying this, Zhu Lanyi felt that she couldn't stay for another second, so she said "go first" and got up and hurriedly left the private room.
Lu Anran was so shocked by those words that he was completely dumbfounded.
She felt that something must be wrong with her hearing.
It took a long time to come back to her senses, and she looked at the man beside her in disbelief, "Her words...... What is the meaning? ”
Gu Liangchen looked at her fixedly, "It's literal, Zhu Lanyi and I are just a business and political marriage, each taking its own benefits, not a real husband and wife, but during the agreement period, the illusion of affection must be maintained externally." ”
“……”
Lu Anran looked straight at him, repeating the four words in his mouth, "To each his own?" ”
