Chapter 211: Daddy
It was already past eight o'clock after eating, and when he got in the car, Gu Zhoubei looked listless and drowsy, and Tan Man chose to sit in the back row with him when he saw this. Sure enough, not long after the car hit the road, he leaned on her and fell asleep.
"Asleep?" Gu Mochen glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that she was about to wrap Xiaobei in her scarf, so he said, "There is a thin quilt behind the back pillows." ”
Tan Man turned around and took it and helped him cover his upper body tightly, before he whispered, "I don't know, I really think you are my father." ”
"Actually, it's almost the same as Dad." He was a little self-deprecating, paused for two seconds, his tone was a little lower, and asked, "Would you mind?" ”
"Huh?" She didn't understand for a moment, "What do you mind?" ”
"With me, maybe the world of the two of you will be disturbed, and many times, you have to bring a small light bulb."
From her position, only half of his side face could be seen, and there was an inexplicable attraction by looking through the dim street lamps of the car window, raising the sensational brow and smooth jaw line.
He heard a chuckle from the back row: "Don't forget, it's because of this little light bulb that we met." ”
Gu Mochen hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at her from the rearview mirror, and focused his gaze back on the road ahead: "It was only after I was with you that I realized for the first time that Xiaobei might bring some trouble to my private life." ”
"It's good that he fell asleep, otherwise he would have been sad." Tan Man tucked the quilt for Xiaobei with a smile, "Then what did you do when you used to pat and drag?" ”
"I haven't filmed it."
It took him a few seconds to answer, and his tone was very light.
"What?" Tan Man couldn't help but straighten up, leaned towards the driver's seat, and stared at him in surprise with wide eyes, "Am I your first love?" ”
Gu Mochen glanced sideways, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he avoided answering.
His expression, silence is acquiescence.
Tan Man was overjoyed, covered her mouth and laughed, she understood that this question seemed inappropriate for a man in his thirties, whether to admit it or not, but looking at his somewhat aggrieved appearance, how could he be so happy in her heart.
She was still lying on the driver's seat, her chin resting on her elbows, and she tapped her fingers happily on the back of the leather seat as she unblinkingly admired his handsome, mature face.
Her breath squirted on his neck and behind his ears, which was undoubtedly a silent temptation, making his throat tighten subconsciously, and the hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.
"Sit down and drive." He took a deep breath, his voice a little hoarse.
She must have been completely ignorant of Gu Mochen's changes, so she leaned back into the back seat with satisfaction and comforted: "Don't worry, you didn't suffer, and it was the first time for me." ”
When Gu Mochen heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "What time is the curfew at your house?" ”
She blinked: "There is no curfew in our house. After speaking, I realized that my answer seemed a little inappropriate, so I added, "My dad didn't set me a curfew, I rely on self-consciousness, and after ten o'clock, I am usually at home." ”
He smiled: "Then I'll send you home at ten o'clock." ”
Tan Man looked at his phone, it was almost nine o'clock now, which meant that there was only an hour left to be alone, and he was suddenly a little reluctant.
The car drove into the city, and it didn't take long for it to drive into the Hyatt parking lot near Tan Man's house.
Gu Mochen booked an executive suite at Hyatt, on the upper floors of the hotel, the living room and rooms are spacious and luxurious, and the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides can overlook the night view of the city.
Gu Zhoubei slept on the bed in the room from the way back, and he didn't look like he was going to wake up at all, probably after a day of playing, he was tired.
After Gu Mochen settled him, he let out a long breath, led her to turn around and walked out, and gently closed the door.
The lonely man and widow stayed in the hotel room, knowing that nothing would happen, but Tan Man still couldn't help but feel a little restrained, so he walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, pretending to enjoy the scenery.
"After living here for so many years, it seems that I have never stood on such a high place to enjoy the night view here."
"The night view is not bad." Gu Mochen responded, "Drink something?" ”
"Water will do the trick." Tan Man said, walking back to the sofa from the window and sitting down.
Gu Mochen was standing by the bar, twisting open two bottles of mineral water and pouring them into the electric kettle to heat up, at this time, he had already taken off his coat, the sleeves of his knitted sweater were rolled up to his forearms, he looked like a family man, and the muscle lines on his face became soft and charming under the warm yellow spotlight above his head.
When he raised his head, she withdrew her eyes in time, picked up the remote control on the desktop, turned on the TV, and the quiet room suddenly became lively.
Glancing at the desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a handbag and a few documents on it, she asked casually, "Do you still have work for the New Year?" ”
Gu Mochen waited for the water in the kettle to boil, and said, "After Xiaobei fell asleep, there was nothing else, just flipping through the dossier." ”
She exhaled: "Oh my God, what kind of life do you have, work becomes a habit." ”
"A lot has changed." He smiled and poured the freshly boiled hot water into the glass next to him, "Especially after meeting you." ”
Tan Man pursed his lips and smiled, turning his face to look at him: "Why didn't I see it." ”
He walked over with a cup and long legs, and smiled a little slyly: "Slowly you will find out." ”
The sofa on the side was sunken, and the light smell on his body came to his nose, Tan Man instinctively turned his head to look at him, and the other party's eyes happened to fall on her face, looking at each other, she smiled, and turned back to watch TV.
In the rebroadcast of the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV on TV, a group of young actors danced on stage, Tan Man asked casually: "Have you watched it, Spring Festival Gala?" ”
He licked his lower lip: "What do you say?" ”
She suddenly remembered that that night, he was rushing to Suzhou overnight, so she bent her eyebrows and said mischievously: "It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, it's not as good-looking as me anyway." ”
The people around her laughed, and their hands reached over, hooked her shoulders, and took the person into their arms, moving very lightly and carefully, but with a hint of longing.
His breath was above his head, and he whispered at the shaggy shredded hair; His heartbeat was in his ears, shaking Sweet Silk's heart, and she was swept into his gentle whirlpool at once.
Holding her breath, she slowly raised her hand and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Manman, I'll go back to Shanghai tomorrow." The voice came from overhead.
"So fast?" She looked up at him in amazement, "Don't you have seven days off?" ”
He stroked her hair and said, "Tomorrow night, Xiao Zhi will invite a few friends from the political and legal circles to have dinner together, all of them are the kind that can talk, the branch in Hangzhou will open after the year, and some relationships still need to be moved around." ”
She lowered her eyes, nodded, and reached out to pat his arm to show sympathy: "It's hard work, and I still have to socialize for the New Year." ”
He smiled wryly.
"Then you will go back to Shanghai tomorrow and then go to Hangzhou?"
"Well, we have to send Xiaobei back."
"Aunt Chen?"
"I can only trouble her."
Tan Man thought about it, then looked up at him again: "I'm sorry, I really can't help you now." ”
He chuckled: "Fool, you are my girlfriend, not Xiaobei's nanny, what is there to be sorry for." ”
"I don't want to take on the responsibility of a girlfriend and help you share the burden."
Gu Mochen lowered his head, rubbed his thumb and fingertips on her face, and his eyes gradually sank a little: "No, you just need to enjoy the rights of your girlfriend, even if you want to exercise your obligations, it is only for me alone." ”
The four eyes were facing each other, the distance was only half a foot, Tan Man could even see his slightly stiff and blushing appearance from his eyes, and the TV was still playing joyful music, but she didn't seem to hear anything except her thunderous heartbeat.
Just when she thought something might happen, the phone rang in her jeans pocket.
He let go of her, and she reached for her phone: "It's my dad." ”
"Uncle checked the gang in a really timely manner." He smiled helplessly, "Take it." ”
Tan Weiguo just asked her when she would go home, she talked by the floor-to-ceiling window for less than a minute, then hung up the phone, and when she turned around, he had already put on his coat, and at this time, the electronic clock on the desk was red and displayed at 9:38.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"My dad just asked me when I was going back, and he didn't rush me."
"It's about twenty minutes for us to walk."
When he went out, Gu Mochen saw a trace of loss on her face, smiled silently, took her hand, and held it tightly.
At this time, there are not many pedestrians, and the traffic on the road is still endless, and two people are walking hand in hand on the side of the road, but it is also quiet and leisurely.
"When do you plan to go back to Shanghai?" When he was almost home, he asked.
"Two days before the Lantern Festival."
He sighed: "That means I still have to stay up for ten days." ”
She looked up and looked at him apologetically with wide eyes.
"Say it in advance, I'll pick you up."
"No, I just need to book a high-speed rail ticket in advance."
"If I hadn't made an appointment last time, I would never have let you come back by car." His tone was resolute, "Besides, I still have luggage this time."
Tan Man didn't want to fight with him, so he smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Walking to the door of the community, the two stopped tacitly, Gu Mochen raised his chin in the direction of her house, and said, "Go up." ”
Tan Man was reluctant to let him go, and always felt that there should be a ceremony to separate, but Gu Mochen looked like a gentleman and didn't mean to do anything.
She raised her head, looked at him solemnly for a few seconds, lowered her eyes again, then stood on tiptoe and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, Gu Mochen quickly responded, and almost at the same time reached out to hold her tightly in his arms.
He smiled and whispered in her ear: "So bold, not afraid of being seen by your father?" ”
"The black light is blind, his old eyes are dizzy, and he can't see!" After Tan Man finished speaking, he tightened his arms again regardless of it, and hugged them tighter.
