Chapter 99: Do You Like Him?

"Gu Shao only came here today, and Assistant Gu often comes over during this time."

Ye Chuxia on the side secretly glanced at Gu You, her cheeks were crimson, but no one present noticed her strange appearance.

Mu Zhuyun said gently: "Xiaoxi, thanks to Gu Shao's care during this time, you have to thank others for me." ā€

"Auntie, you are too polite, I am friends with Xiaoxi."

Gu Tingjun is rarely very modest, and there is no bit of aggressiveness on his body.

After everyone's explanation, Ning Xi learned that since she followed Gu Tingjun to Milan, Gu You followed Gu Tingjun's instructions and came to visit Mu Zhuyun every once in a while.

Ning Xi didn't expect Gu Tingjun to be so caring and silently take care of her mother for her.

"Thanks, Boss." Ning Xi said with heartfelt gratitude.

Gu Tingjun raised his hand and rubbed her short hair: "What else do you want to say to me, thank you?" If you really want to thank you, I'm afraid you won't be able to thank you for the rest of your life. ā€

Mess with my hair again!

Ning Xi turned sideways to free his head from his big hand, pursed his mouth, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and raised his hand to arrange his hair.

"I don't want to thank you yet."

Bulging like a guinea pig, very cute, Gu Tingjun grinned and smiled silently.

The natural and intimate interaction between the two made Mu Zhuyun frown slightly, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Ning Xi is eighteen years old, in her youth, Gu Tingjun is good-looking and talented, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not have a spring heart and fall in love with this man.

Mu Zhuyun began to worry, and his expression was extremely embarrassed.

"Madame Mu, are you feeling unwell somewhere? I called the doctor to take a look. ā€

Gu You, who was on the side, discovered the abnormality of Mu Zhuyun.

Mu Zhuyun shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just rest for a while." Gu Shao, thank you very much for coming to see me today, but I want to say a few words to Xiaoxi, so I ......"

"No problem, I'll wait for him at the door."

Gu Tingjun understood the meaning of Mu Zhuyun and left the ward with Gu You.

Only their mother and daughter were left in the ward, and Ning Xi immediately felt embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Ning Xi still spoke: "Mom, I did what you asked." The Ning family has announced that I am the heir, and I can enter the company for an internship at any time. ā€

Mu Zhuyun hummed softly, indicating that he knew.

This indifferent reaction surprised Ning Xi, she thought that her mother would be very happy after hearing the news.

Mu Zhuyun was indeed very happy, but she was really frightened by Gu Tingjun and Ning Xi's direct intimacy today.

If Ning Xi really fell in love with Gu Tingjun, then her life would become a tragedy.

Clearing her throat, Mu Zhuyun looked at Ning Xi seriously and asked, "Tell my mother honestly, do you like Gu Tingjun?" Does he know who you really are? ā€

Ha?

Ning Xi was stunned and startled by her mother's words.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

For some reason, Ning Xi was a little weak-hearted, and her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look directly into Mu Zhuyun's eyes.

Her reaction made Mu Zhuyun chuckle in her heart, and it seemed that what she was worried about had really happened.

"No! You can't like him, no, you can't like anyone! ā€

Mu Zhuyun became excited, and said sharply.

Although Ning Xi didn't feel that she was in love with Gu Tingjun, such a strong opposition from Mu Zhuyun still inspired her to rebel.

"Why can't I like him? That's right, I'm a boy now, and I can't have a future with him, but no one said that if you like someone, you have to marry him and have children. Mom, for you, I've endured humiliation for so many years, and it's not even certain that I can have my own happiness in this life, why can't you think about me a little, even if it's just a little bit? I'm your daughter! ā€

Ning Xi, who had already had some complaints about her mother, completely broke out under Mu Zhuyun's stern warning.

Ning Xi didn't understand, she hadn't understood her mother's decision for so many years.

The reason why she obediently stayed in the Ning family and completed her mother's task was just her love for her mother.

From the bottom of her heart, Ning Xi longed more for the days when she and her mother depended on each other when she was a child.

At that time, although they lived very poor and had little money, at least she was happy, at least her mother was able to stay by her side all the time.

At that time, she was able to feel her mother's love for her.

Ning Xi's tears swirled in her eyes, but she bit her lower lip to prevent the tears from flowing out.

Mu Zhuyun sighed, she didn't know that her daughter had such a grievance, but what could she do?

Seeing that she was silent, Ning Xi was really disappointed, and by this time, her mother didn't even have a trace of guilt.

"Mom, you rest, I'll go back first. I'm about to take an exam, and I'm going to get ready to enter the company for an internship, so I don't have much time to come over lately, so you take care of yourself. ā€

After speaking, Ning Xi walked towards the door, and the moment she turned around, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Walking out of the ward, she saw the nurse station not far away, Gu You and Ye Chuxia were chatting, and Gu Tingjun was talking on the phone at the end of the corridor.

When Gu Tingjun saw Ning Xi coming out, he walked over to her, and at the same time explained a few words to the other end of the phone, and hung up.

Walking in front of Ning Xi, Gu Tingjun was about to speak, but his eyes fell on her red and swollen lips.

"Why is your lip bleeding?"

Frowning slightly, Gu Tingjun took out a piece of tissue paper, raised his hand and gently wiped the red on his lips.

Just now her mother suspected that there was some ambiguity between them, and now that she was treated so gently by Gu Tingjun, Ning Xi panicked in her heart, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"I—I'll do it myself."

Reaching out to take the paper in Gu Tingjun's hand, Ning Xi ran out of the building.

Although it was only for a moment, Gu Tingjun was still keenly aware of Ning Xi's cheeks that quickly turned crimson.

Little thing this is shy?

Gu Tingjun was slightly stunned, and followed with a step.

I don't know if it's because of her mother's suspicion, Ning Xi feels that she can't be like a brother to Gu Tingjun like before.

Under the pretext that she had to prepare for the exam, she politely refused Gu Tingjun's appointment to eat, and even postponed the matter of cooking for Gu Tingjun in the near future.

Back at the rental house, Ning Xi lay on the bed weakly, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Although she was full of grievances in front of her mother, she was full of grievances, but now when she is alone, she still thinks seriously about her mother's words.

Is she really in love with Gu Tingjun?

This question can't even be answered by Ning Xi herself.

If you say you like him, you don't seem to have that heart-pounding feeling.

But if you say that you don't feel anything for him, it doesn't seem to be true.

He was not only her first and only man, but he also helped her and took care of her again and again during this time.

In the face of such an excellent man, it is difficult for any woman not to be moved.
