Chapter 384: Grown Up
Gu Mian put down the hand that was blocking his eyes and looked up at him, his eyelashes were wet, which was particularly cute.
Ji Lingchuan touched the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, he always felt that she was a strong girl, why did she cry so much, her tears were like the rain in the sky.
He gently wiped away her tears, then took another ring from his pocket and placed it in the palm of her hand, "Help me put it on." ”
Gu Mian looked down and saw that the men's ring was a little simpler, only with a diamond in the middle, and carved patterns on both sides. She grabbed his hand and put the ring on his middle finger.
When she put it on, Ji Lingchuan held her hand and gently dropped a kiss on her finger: "You can't wear jewelry when filming, I will wear it on my hand at other times." ”
Gu Mian knows this rule, if you are filming a costume drama, you will wear a ring on your hand, and modern dramas also have certain requirements.
It's not early, although she is reluctant, she still has to say goodbye, Ji Lingchuan gave her the umbrella: "Go in, if you stay any longer, you will catch a cold." ”
Panic flashed in Gu Mian's eyes, and he grabbed his hand and refused to let go: "What about you?" ”
"I ...... I'm going back. ”
He came to her just to know what she thought, and now that he knew, his heart was settled, and he didn't have to think about it anymore.
Gu Mian looked at the time displayed on his phone: "Now?" It's almost ten o'clock, and when you get to the airport, you can only take the flight after midnight. Do you have to make an announcement tomorrow? If you don't rush, you can wait until tomorrow. ”
Ji Lingchuan looked at her, and finally showed the first sincere smile in a period of time, her eyes and every word she said told him that she was reluctant to let him go.
"I haven't announced tomorrow, but I'm not familiar with this area, and I haven't booked a hotel yet."
He thought that if he said this, Gu Mian would help him book a room.
Who knows, she took his hand and walked towards the villa, Ji Lingchuan almost couldn't keep up with her pace, he was dragged and staggered, and when he came back to his senses, the door had already opened.
Ji Lingchuan said nervously: "Wait, you want to take me in?" You think about how to explain it......"
Don't think about it, because before he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to meet a few pairs of eyes in the living room.
Gu Mian didn't come back for a long time after going out, Alisa was a little worried, and went back to the room to call Tan Qian, but she didn't expect the noise to be heard by Tan Man in the next room.
She has been in a good state of mind recently, she didn't go to bed so early, she was half-lying on the bed reading a book, and vaguely heard that Gu Mian was gone, so she slowly moved from the bed to the wheelchair.
As soon as he came out, he saw Gu Mian coming in from outside, and brought a man with him.
From the angle of Tan Man sitting in a wheelchair, I saw the hands of the two holding hands at first glance. Her gaze swept from bottom to top, sweeping Gu Mian, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a joy she hadn't seen for a long time.
She turned to look at Ji Lingchuan, the man was tall, and Gu Mian looked extremely petite when he stood beside him. He has fair skin, and his appearance is the kind that is very handsome and eye-catching at first glance, and he feels worthy of being a star.
Ji Lingchuan is the spokesperson of a drink under Tan Lu Group, and Tan Man is naturally no stranger to this face, but he has never seen him in person.
Today is Gu Mian's birthday, so he came over to celebrate her birthday?
Ji Lingchuan's brain was about to explode, what was the situation now, he met his parents inexplicably, and he was not prepared at all.
I can only be glad that he cut his hair short and shaved his beard before getting on the plane, otherwise he would have appeared in front of Gu Mian's mother as Chen Shen, a criminal who had been released from prison, and she might have kicked him out.
Tan Man knew Ji Lingchuan, but Tan Qian and his wife didn't know each other, the two glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Mianmian, don't you introduce us?" ”
They all saw her holding hands with this man!
Gu Mian was also hot-headed, and he didn't want Ji Lingchuan to leave so soon, so he pulled him back home, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene.
Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared, she had imagined the scene of taking him to meet his parents before, and even thought about what to say if the family didn't like him.
"He's my boyfriend Ji Lingchuan." She looked at Tan Man, "Mom, I mentioned to you before, I will bring him to see you when he finishes filming." ”
Ji Lingchuan cleared his throat and greeted politely: "Hello, Auntie." ”
Gu Mian hurriedly introduced him to the other two parents: "This is my uncle, and his wife." ”
Ji Lingchuan paused, quickly thinking about whether to greet in English or Chinese, after all, this lady looked British. In view of the fact that his English level may not be so good in the eyes of the locals, he still honestly called his uncle and aunt.
He was really nervous, and his teeth almost bit his tongue: "I'm really sorry to come so late and disturb your rest." ”
Gu Mian said: "He is on tomorrow's flight, and he may have to borrow it at home for one night tonight." ”
The two cooperated tacitly, and Gu Mian's intention to maintain it was so obvious, it was completely different from when she introduced Lu Chen. Tan Man finally smiled: "There are still extra guest rooms at home, so let's pack one up and let Xiao Ji live." By the way, have you had dinner? ”
Ji Lingchuan didn't want to trouble others, and was about to lie that he had eaten, but Gu Mian concluded that he hadn't eaten dinner: "I'll go and see if there's anything else to eat in the refrigerator." ”
As she spoke, she ran to the kitchen.
Tan Man looked at her busy back, and remembered the look between her eyebrows and eyes just now, and suddenly understood why she was depressed during this time, as if she was hiding a lot of things.
It turned out to be because of my boyfriend.
She couldn't help but feel in her heart that her daughter had grown up.
There is leftover bone broth in the refrigerator, but unfortunately Gu Mian can't cook noodles, so he still has to trouble his aunt to cook.
Ji Lingchuan was very reluctant to go, but Alisa felt that it was nothing, he flew all the way from Beijing to the United Kingdom, just to celebrate Gu Mian's birthday, this intention alone was touching.
She smiled and said to Gu Mian: "There is new bedding in the wardrobe in the guest room, you go and help Mr. Ji tidy it up, and leave it to me here." ”
Making bed sheets and quilts Gu Mian is good at it she nodded, gave up the kitchen space to her aunt, and took Ji Lingchuan to the guest room by herself.
This room is not often occupied, but it is very clean and the bed is covered with a dust-proof white bedspread.
Ji Lingchuan stood still, watching Gu Mian take off the bedspread and throw it aside, take out the quilt and four-piece set from the wardrobe, she first spread the sheets, then put the quilt on the bed and stuffed it into the quilt cover.
In the warm light, she wore a soft powder blue plaid nightdress with ruffles on the neckline and cuffs, and stood on the edge of the bed pinching the corners of the futon and shaking, trying to smooth the core inside.
He didn't expect Gu Mian to be so skilled in housework, and he set it up in three or two clicks.
The pink striped futon was spread flat on the bed, Gu Mian took a breath, looked at it for a while, and felt a little awkward. After a few more looks, she finally realized that something was wrong, she turned her head to look at Ji Lingchuan: "This seems to be a four-piece suit for girls." "The sheets are also the same pink stripes.
Probably because there were more female guests staying overnight in the past, and the spare bedding was more in line with women's aesthetics.
It is a gift for the owner of the family to be able to take in for one night, and where to be a guest, Ji Lingchuan said: "It's okay, I don't mind." ”
Gu Mian grabbed a pillow, slowly stuffed it into the pillowcase, and placed it at the head of the bed, and the other extra pillowcase was folded and put back by her.
She glanced around the room to see what else needed to be prepared.
There are all kinds of toiletries in the bathroom, and there is still a set of pajamas, Ji Lingchuan's uncle's clothes should be able to wear them, she was about to go out to find her uncle to borrow clothes, Ji Lingchuan stopped her waist and hugged her.
Everything in front of him was like a dream, he couldn't believe it was real, and only by holding her in his arms and actually feeling her body temperature did he be sure that he hadn't lost her.
Gu Mian is not like this, he has been suffering from the emotions of gains and losses in recent times, and he has speculated about Ji Lingchuan's intentions over and over again, and the insomnia is more serious than before he went abroad.
At this moment, her heart can find a sense of belonging.
Ji Lingchuan lowered his eyes and got closer a little, wanting to kiss her lips. Gu Mian raised his head slightly, met his deep eyes, and took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss him.
However, in the next second, there was a slight gasping sound at the door. Gu Mian was startled, hurriedly opened his eyes, and took a few steps back.
The door was not closed, so Alisa came in without saying hello, but who happened to bump into Gu Mian and grabbed the man's shoulder and leaned in to kiss him.
Gu Mian has a restrained and reserved personality, she has never seen her like this, and she was stunned for a while.
When she reacted, Alisa realized that she seemed to have disturbed them, and immediately turned her back in embarrassment: "Ahem, the noodles are cooked, come and eat." ”
Gu Mian felt that her ears were about to burn, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, how could she be seen by her aunt, what would she think of her, what a shame......
In comparison, Ji Lingchuan was hit harder, and people kindly kept him for one night, but he was full of thoughts about doing bad things.
With that, Alisa walked away with great interest, leaving the space for them.
Ji Lingchuan let out a long sigh of relief, his standing shoulders fell slightly, and he was in a relaxed posture.
Originally, he was mentally prepared to be scolded, but who knew that the elegant English lady didn't say anything.
Ji Lingchuan looked at Gu Mian, she avoided his gaze, turned her head to look away, and never thought that her red ears had exposed her secret. A smile welled up in his eyes, remembering the moment before when she looked up and kissed him, it was so touching.
Even if Gu Mian didn't look at him, she could feel that burning gaze staring at her, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled her legs and walked out: "You still can't eat!" ”
Ji Lingchuan didn't speak, just looked at her back and smiled.
Such a vivid and lively Gu Mian is what he wants to see, and he still remembers that when she appeared in front of him in the rain, the whole person was shrouded in sadness, with tears in her eyes, and a faint despair.
Ji Lingchuan rubbed the ring with his fingers and walked out of the room.
There was no one in the living room, Tan Man went back to the room to rest, Alisa went to the study to continue her work after cooking the noodles, and Tan Qian was not there.
On the dining table, there is a wide white porcelain bowl, which is a noodle boiled in broth made from pork bones, sprinkled with a handful of green vegetables, and a plate of beef next to it.
As soon as Ji Lingchuan sat down, before he could take a bite, his mobile phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone, Gu Mian saw that his face changed slightly, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity and glanced at the caller ID, it was his assistant Zhao Cheng calling.
Gu Mian pursed his lips, and couldn't help but guess the reason for the assistant's call at this time, except for work matters, there was probably nothing else.
Ji Lingchuan only hesitated for a second before hanging up.
