Chapter 33: Her Lies
He Ting was on a business trip, and before leaving, he told Gu Wan to pay attention to rest and not just work hard.
Although Gu Wan agreed, he was still not at ease, and from time to time he had to call to check on the post, telling her to eat on time and not to sleep too late.
Gu Wan and Tang Jingyan were drinking coffee, and He Ting had already made a phone call. After hanging up the phone, he sent another message: I forgot to tell you, I'll be home tomorrow night.
Gu Wan simply replied with the word "good", ignored him, and continued to chat with Tang Jingyan.
The two of them were talking, Gu Wan suddenly stopped and looked behind him sharply. It was empty, there was nothing, and she turned back suspiciously.
Tang Jingyan was taken aback by her sudden movements, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Shocked. ”
Gu Wan approached Tang Jingyan suspiciously and mysteriously and whispered, "It seems that someone has been secretly following me in the past few days, but I feel that the other party seems to have no malicious intent." ”
Tang Jingyan couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Really? Do you know who it is? ”
Gu Wan shook his head, his expression was a little distressed, "I don't know, I haven't offended anyone." By the way, do you think it will be He Ting? ”
Tang Jingyan was puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "Why did He Ting send someone to follow you?" Did he know you were ......?"
Gu Wan interrupted Tang Jingyan's words, "Tang Tang, you can accompany me to a place at night." ”
Tang Jingyan nodded.
In the evening, He Ting returned home. He lied to Gu Wan when he said that he would only come back tomorrow night, and he wanted to surprise her.
But when he opened the door excitedly, the dark room and the nowhere to be found made his original excited mood instantly turn to ashes, and even the bouquet of champagne roses in his hand lost its color.
He sighed, not only surprised that the plan had failed, but also that he had not yet met the person he had in mind.
He stood at the door and dialed Gu Guan's phone. The phone rang for a while before Gu Wan picked it up, "Hey......"
Hearing Gu Guan's voice, He Ting's depressed mood turned cloudy again, and he asked with a smile, "Where are you?" ”
Gu Wan paused slightly, and then replied in a brisk tone, "I'm at home, where else can I be." ”
He Ting's smile stiffened on his face, and he subconsciously raised his head and patrolled the home for a week, wondering whether he was an auditory hallucination or a hallucination, and repeated in disbelief, "Are you at home?" ”
Gu Wan responded, "Yes, I was drawing, and I just had inspiration, so you came to disturb me." ”
At this time, He Ting was completely silent.
Gu Wan didn't hear him speak for a long time, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He Ting tried hard to suppress the urge to ask Gu Wan why he lied to him, he tried to keep his tone as soft as possible, and his voice was as usual, "Well, then you don't have to be too late, rest early, I'll go back tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Gu Wan's voice was gentle, just listening to it, he could imagine what kind of sweet smile she should have on her face when she said this.
But He Ting's heart became cold and sank little by little in the darkness.
After hanging up the phone, He Ting walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, without turning on the light, only the smoke of his finger flickered in the darkness.
Gu Wan hates the smell of smoke, so He Ting never smokes in front of her, nor does he smoke at home. She is always the most important, what she likes and what she hates, even if it is a trivial thing, is as big as a sky for him.
Smoking unscrupulously at home, He Ting didn't even think about it. So the ashtray that had been on the coffee table was just an ornament for him, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
It wasn't until the ashtray was stuffed with cigarette butts and He Ting's handsome face was hidden in the smoke that he picked up his mobile phone, dialed a number, and asked bluntly, "Where is she?" ”
The other party replied in a respectful tone, "Miss Gu is meeting a friend at the Hualuo Guild Hall. ”
He Ting frowned, "What friend?" ”
The other party hesitated for a moment, "Miss Gu and Miss Tang are together, and there is another man." As for the gentleman, uh...... Mr. He, I'll check it out right away. ”
He Ting stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "No need, just make sure she's safe." ”
"Yes, Mr. He."
Tang Jingyan and Gu Wan were together, which made He Ting breathe a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
After hanging up the phone, He Ting got up and opened the window, dissipating the smell of smoke in the room. He washed the ashtray before closing the window again, walked out of the house with his suitcase, threw the bouquet of champagne roses in the trash, and asked the secretary to book a hotel.
The next day, He Ting returned home again, as if he had not come back yesterday.
When He Ting entered the door, Gu Wan was stir-frying in the kitchen.
She heard the sound of the door ringing, walked out with a spatula, and shouted to He Ting, "Wait a minute, there is still a dish, it will be ready immediately." ”
He Ting looked at Gu Wan and couldn't take his eyes off it. She wears a plain apron and wields a spatula in her hand. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed with her movements, revealing a white neck. Her side face was drenched in mist with a shallow smile.
All this fell in He Ting's eyes, it was so sacred, so beautiful, so that the doubts, puzzles, and worries that had accumulated in his heart disappeared in an instant.
He didn't want to know who Gu Wan had met last night and couldn't tell him, so he lied and deceived him. Now he just wants to sit down with Gu Wan and have a good meal, hug each other and watch a movie after eating, and then hug each other and sleep.
Gu Wan came out with the dishes, and when he saw He Ting still standing in a daze, he urged him, "What are you doing in a daze, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner!" ”
He Ting hugged Gu Wan and hugged her tightly in his arms. Gu Wan was caught off guard and held the plate in his hand high to prevent the dishes from spilling.
She freed up a hand, patted He Ting's back, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
He Ting's head was buried in her shoulder, and he said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just want to hug you." ”
Gu Wan laughed, touched his ears, and whispered, "Okay, go wash your hands and change your clothes, and wait for dinner, the dishes will be cold." ”
He Ting obediently took the plate in Gu Guan's hand and helped her get to the table before leaving.
After He Ting left, Gu Wan closed the kitchen door and took out the mobile phone that had just vibrated for a long time. There was a missed call and several unread messages.
She didn't have time to look at it, so she just put her phone on silent mode, and after cleaning up the kitchen, she sat at the dining table and waited for He Ting.
He Ting changed his clothes and came out, and at a glance he saw Gu Wan who was waiting for him.
The lights are yellow, the room is warm, and the lines on Gu Wan's face are particularly soft in the light and shadow. The world, the lonely night, there is a light that is specially lit for him, how happy.
He Ting walked over quickly and sat opposite Gu Wan. Gu Wan served him vegetables, waiting for him to taste and make an evaluation, his eyes were full of apprehension and expectation.
He Ting usually eats out, goes to high-end restaurants, and has a professional chef at home. But Gu Guan's cooking was like adding some magical magic, which made He Ting feel that the delicious food couldn't stop.
He sincerely and unsparingly gave her the highest praise, "Guanguan, this is the best dish I have ever tasted." ”
Gu Wan's expression was a little shy, she knew that her cooking skills were average, far inferior to He Ting, who had learned to cook in order to prepare her meals. But when she was complimented, she still seemed very happy. She kept serving vegetables to He Ting and asked him to eat more.
After dinner, Gu Wan asked He Ting to rest early, but he pulled Gu Wan to sit in the living room and watch a movie.
Although Gu Guan's mobile phone was turned to silent, the message prompt light still flashed from time to time. She was annoyed and simply clasped her phone and left it alone.
He Ting asked, "Something?" ”
Gu Wan shook his head, "It's nothing, it's all spam text messages." ”
Halfway through the movie, He Ting, who was initially in high spirits, had already begun to fall asleep. In order to rush back to work overtime in advance, he didn't have a good rest for the past two days, and he was very tired at the moment. After a while, he fell asleep leaning on Gu Guan's body.
Gu Wan picked up the remote control and adjusted the volume to mute, leaving only the light and shadow on the screen still flickering brightly and dimly.
She waited quietly for a long time before turning her head to look at He Ting. His sleeping face was calm and looked like he had slept deeply. She moved her shoulders slightly, and his head swayed a few times in response to her movements, showing no sign of reviving.
Gu Wanke couldn't hold him, so he carefully withdrew his body and put his head on the sofa. ran into the house again and took a pillow and quilt to cover him, then quietly got up and walked into the bathroom with his mobile phone.
Gu Wan leaned on the sink and turned on her mobile phone, and several people sent her messages, and she checked and replied one by one.
Big A: The person who is following you has found out, and I will send you his photo to see if you recognize him. If not, I'll continue to investigate his background.
Next are several pictures, Gu Wan clicked on them, looked at the person in the photo and was stunned, and the hand holding the mobile phone began to tremble unconsciously.
At this time, the mobile phone screen suddenly switched to the caller ID, which was called by Tang Jingyan.
Gu Wan pressed the answer button, and Tang Jingyan's worried and anxious voice came, "Guanguan, how are you?" You haven't messaged me back, and I'm worried about you. ”
Gu Wan whispered, "It's okay." ”
Tang Jingyan immediately asked vigilantly, "It's inconvenient for you to speak?" ”
Gu Wan replied, "No, He Ting fell asleep in the living room, I'm afraid of waking him up." ”
Tang Jingyan's tone was a little hesitant, "Then does he suspect you?" ”
Gu Wan said slowly, "He didn't ask me anything. ”
Tang Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a big stone in her heart had finally been put down, and her tone was much lighter, "Could it be that you are thinking too much, he didn't come back at all last night." ”
Gu Wan said categorically, "Impossible, the position of the ashtray has been moved, and he must have come back yesterday." ”
This made Tang Jingyan unable to understand, "Then why didn't he ask you?" ”
Gu Wan also wanted to know why, He Ting now was much more unpredictable than He Ting ten years ago, and he had done too many things that she couldn't understand.
She didn't know how to answer, so she could only comfort Tang Jingyan, "Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with ......"
Before she could finish her words, the bathroom door was pushed open, and she subconsciously hid her phone behind her.
He Ting stood at the door, he looked at Gu Guan, his eyes were as deep as the deep sea, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He spoke, his eyes were waveless, and his tone was calm, "Guanguan, what are you doing?" ”
