Chapter 100: Your grandfather's name is a fake name, and his identity is also fake
There was still the smell of Cao Yu'an on the coat, and the faint cologne smell mixed with the fragrance of tobacco made my heart skip a beat for no reason. I was taught a lesson by him, and my momentum immediately became half a cut shorter. I tiptoed and said, "Well, you said you were coming, so I came to wait for you." β
Cao Yu'an stared at me for a long time, I thought he was going to get angry again, but I didn't expect his expression to soften a little. He suddenly stepped up and grabbed my wrist: "It's warm in the car, let's get in the car first." I was dragged by him to the side of the car, and when I got into the car, my instinct that was numb from the cold only recovered little by little. I lowered my head and pretended to be serious and puffed into my hands. The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, but my mind is spinning rapidly, what will Cao Yu'an say later?
After a long time, Cao Yu'an suddenly asked, "How do you know?" β
I was stunned: "Hmm? β
Cao Yu'an pretended not to care, but when I looked up, I found that he was looking at me seriously in the rearview mirror: "How do you know that Su Chengyi was killed by the Japanese?" Although the rumors are spreading, everyone is just speculating, how can you be sure of it? β
My temper was so questioned by him in the past, it must be fought for by reason, but this time I miraculously held back, and I snorted aggrievedly: "Cao Yu'an, I know you want to protect me." You think it's for my own good to keep those bloody things from me, but I've grown up, and even if I'm still scared and vulnerable, it's time to face it myself. β
I raised my head and looked at Cao Yu'an, until I was sure that he could clearly see the tears in my eyes, and then said, "You have been away for so long, but you have never asked me what I have experienced. You're always so confident, so confident that it's a little bit self-serving. You think that Shanghai has fallen, and I am still that little girl who does not know the world, but I don't know how many festering maggot wounds I have personally dealt with and I have seen the bombed positions beyond recognition. I took a breath and said loudly: "I am no longer the naΓ―ve and ignorant Zhu Huiran, and you are not the pampered Fourth Young Master of the Cao Family." Is it possible for the two of us to go back in time? β
As soon as I said this, I regretted it a little. But I didn't expect Cao Yu'an's reaction to be even more exciting than I imagined, he slammed on the brakes, and my whole body was almost thrown into the front seat. I grabbed the handrail with one hand, and pressed my other hand on my forehead, which hurt from the impact: "Why did you brake suddenly?" β
"The hotel has arrived." Cao Yu'an's voice was cold and without any temperature, but he opened the car door for me diligently, and carefully blocked the roof with his hand to prevent me from accidentally hitting my forehead when I got out of the car. I looked up at him, but all I could see was his chin. He pursed his lips tightly, just staring ahead without squinting.
The waiter at the door saw him and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Cao, we just talked about you, so we are looking forward to you." When he saw me, a faint confusion flashed in his eyes for a moment, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "Do you keep the old seat by the window, or do you come as it is?" β
Cao Yu'an was expressionless and silent all the time, and only then did he say: "Don't be so troublesome, we just have a light meal, and we don't need to open the wine." β
I unconsciously came up with the scene when Cao Yu'an and Su Shunqing had dinner together, compared to the amorous Su Peiqing, I should lose convinced.
I couldn't speak, so I thought that at least I could eat his flesh so that I could avenge my own arrows. Nowadays, prices are skyrocketing, and the prices on the menu are staggeringly expensive. I also ordered crayfish, and the subtext in my heart was "Let you be proud, it will be your turn to hurt when you check out".
The waiting time for the food was long and boring, Cao Yu'an looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly turned back to me and said, "Is it okay for me to smoke a cigarette?" "His polite look always makes my girl's heart pound.
After receiving my affirmative answer, he lit a "Hardman" cigarette for himself. Looking along the wisps of smoke, he smoked elegantly and handsomely, but I was a little confused, and I vaguely remembered that he was not a smoker. He half-squinted, and suddenly asked me, "Isn't it that I don't care enough about you, why don't you tell me what you've been through during my absence?" β
He always has a scorching breath on his body, but a good voice is as soft as a spring breeze. My heart warmed, and I said, "Okay, but where to start?" Let's start with the day I became a nurse. "I calmed down and opened my heart to Cao Yu'an for the first time, and I realized later that this was also the first time in a long time that I had taken a hard look at the bloody past. I've always been used to whitewashing peace, but the reality is that the peaceful days are long gone.
Cao Yu'an has been listening to me very carefully, and only nodded slightly when I paused for a while, which was considered to be a reward for me. Except for the section of cooperation with Gu Zuoyan, I almost know everything. When it comes to emotional feelings, I no longer restrain my emotions, and I can't help but redden my eyes several times.
I said it was late, but I felt a little embarrassed by such a quiet atmosphere, so I took a glass of lemonade and drank it. Xu said too many words just now, and his throat was a little rustle, so he could only swallow his saliva with a hideous expression. Cao Yu'an extinguished the cigarette in his hand without warning, picked up the empty glass in front of me and poured a full glass of warm water: "Don't talk so much if your throat is uncomfortable, drink some warm water." β
He probably didn't react to me, and his tone was softer than before: "Okay, I apologize to you, I have misunderstood you all along." Also, I promise you that from now on, I will respect your ideas and no longer treat you as a child. It was rare for him to speak in such a low voice, and with a little coaxing meaning, which made me very useful: "As for Aqing, you really don't have to mind too much. She has a wide range of contacts in the business and political worlds, and she has her own way of dealing with others, so I need her help in both public and private affairs, that's all. When he finished speaking, the lobster meat was neatly shaved out by him, and the shrimp shell still maintained its original intact shape, and he didn't know whether to praise him for his fine workmanship, or laugh at him for being accustomed to such useless things.
I was trying to eat the first bite of lobster meat, Cao Yu'an suddenly said: "There is a fundraising party tomorrow night, anyway, you don't have a class, why don't you go with me then." β
