Chapter 45: I'm Serious
Where is Xia Ying in the mood to play with him, the Wei family's power in Yecheng, she knows very well that black and white take all, it belongs to the ruthless and vicious hexagram, she is very afraid that Gu Zhichen is not the opponent of the Wei family.
"You're still in the mood to joke, then the Wei family ......"
"Why, in your heart, I, Gu Zhichen, am so incompetent? Is a Wei family afraid? β
How does she know how capable he Gu Zhichen is, and she doesn't know "my ......" to him
"Alright, alright, let's rest for a while." He didn't want to talk to her too much, because she would think more.
He soothed her for a while before she slowly fell asleep,
After Xia Ying fell asleep, Gu Zhichen walked out of the ward, Liu Tezhu stood outside the ward and handed him a stack of documents, Gu Zhichen looked at it twice, and he only said two words, "Stop." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦γ
In the days when Xia Ying was hospitalized, Gu Zhichen took care of her daily life every day, and that Wei Guofan never came again, which made her feel a lot more comfortable.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Xia Ying wanted to invite Gu Zhichen to have a meal and express her gratitude, Gu Zhichen agreed, but he said that he would pick a place.
Xia Ying has no opinion, she thinks that she will choose a restaurant with a relatively high grade and price, after all, a person like him is not a fly restaurant.
But she didn't arrive, he took her to a courtyard,
Like Han Jingshu, walking into this old mansion with a sense of age, Xia Ying's eyes were full of novelty, and unexpectedly, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The house here has a strong sense of age, like a house in the 80s.
There is a heavy 21-inch color TV, a delicate antique vase, a refrigerator with a single door, and even the sofa is a little faded.
She didn't know if it was an old craft, or if it was something that was here.
"How?" The man suddenly opened his mouth, "Say what you think." β
Xia Ying shook her head: "Is this house yours?" β
"It's not mine, it's my grandfather's."
Xia Ying nodded, "I said, the things in here are too old." β
"Do you like it?" He asked.
Xia Ying didn't shy away from it, "I like it a lot." β
"When I was a child, I brought you here, forgot?"
Hearing Gu Zhichen say this, Xia Ying realized, no wonder, she felt very familiar, "No wonder, I think I have seen everything here." β
"What do you want to drink?" He opened the fridge and asked.
"Coke, thank you."
Gu Zhichen took a can of Coke, handed it to Xia Ying, and smiled, "Your taste hasn't changed." β
"I don't have any special tastes, and girls don't like Coke." She opened it and took a sip.
The man lowered his eyelids slightly, stared at her, and looked at her for a while before he slowly spoke, "Xia Ying, let's get married." β
Tie the knot?
Xia Ying's hand holding the Coke froze for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at the man, surprised, puzzled, stunned, and wrote it all on her face, "Gu Zhichen, are you funny." β
"I'm serious."
"......" The woman's eyebrows frowned, and she looked at the man in front of her with questioning, "Gu Zhichen, you know that I have been rejecting you, you mention this, don't you think it's ......"
Xia Ying smiled coldly, it was really a big joke,
The man opened a bottle of red wine and poured himself a glass, he shook the bright red liquid, "I don't think it's a joke. β
"But I'm not going to marry you." Xia Ying refused directly.
"Is it because of Han Jingshu, or is it something else?"
"Jingshu is a reason, and I don't love you either."
The man raised his eyebrows, raised his head and took a sip of wine, a little disappointed, but it seemed that he could guess that she had not yet established trust in him, let alone anything she liked or loved. "When you were a kid, you relied on me."
"You said it, it was when I was a kid."
"We can find out how we felt when we were kids." He picked up the red wine and poured himself another glass, "Perhaps, you will fall in love with me." β
Xia Ying smiled, laughing at his thoughts, how could he be as naΓ―ve as a child, "Gu Zhichen, let's not talk about this kind of topic." β
The man sighed and shrugged his shoulders, "What do you want to talk about?" β
"Gu Zhichen, I am no longer the person I was when I was a child, I admit that before the age of six, I was very happy, at that time, with you, Aunt Sun, and my mother, you all spoiled me, loved me, loved me, and I also relied on you......"
Xia Ying's eyes began to be stunned, as if she was recalling a past event that was too long to last...... However, since I entered the Lin family at the age of six, I am no longer the little moon I used to be, I admit it, I have hated you and hated you, I hate you for breaking the appointment, I hate you for abandoning me, I think I am a burden, an unlikable child......" Xia Ying's eyes reddened.
She looked up for fear that tears would fall...... I had low self-esteem, cowardice, didn't do anything, trembled, lived on thin ice, and finally lived to be twenty years old, but was given by Zhou Meijuan to an old man surnamed Zhao......"
When Xia Ying said this, her whole body shook involuntarily, this is not a glorious thing, she is dirty, and she will not be able to wash it for the rest of her life.
But she decided to tell him about the pain of peeling and boning for her.
The man wanted to hug her, but she reached out to block him, "Listen to me." β
"Yes, I changed two million for Zhou Meijuan on the first night, I thought this nightmare was over, no, no, Lin Shangzhou died of illness, Zhou Meijuan was afraid that I would fight for property, so I tied it up and threw it into the sea."
"I really thought that I was going to die, and when the cold sea eroded my consciousness inch by inch, I really felt that I was going to hide in that bottomless abyss."
Her eyelashes stained with teardrops lifted shallowly, and looked at the man, "I am grateful to you for saving me and giving me a new life, although I am not bad now, but I am no longer capable of falling in love, falling in love, falling in love or marriage for me, it is like the moon in the mirror, it looks beautiful, but it has nothing to do with me, Gu Zhichen, do you understand?" β
The man just watched her quietly, and in the end, he still hugged the trembling slender body into his arms, he stroked her long hair, and whispered, "Sakura-chan, I know, you suffered, no matter what the reason, that day, you should not miss the appointment, if I don't miss the appointment, what happened later." β
He wanted to tell her that the man was him that night, but as soon as his words reached his throat, he was stopped back by Xia Ying, "So, Gu Zhichen, don't mention anything about love or marriage to me in the future, I haven't thought about it, I think it's good to be alone, if my mother is still here, she will definitely understand me." β
"Sakura-chan, I don't force you, I know, it's me who is in a hurry, let's take our time."
