Chapter 90: Triangular Relationships
I remembered the thought I had when I only knew his fiancΓ©e's name before, and Gu Nuoxi at this time was probably the same as my thought at the time.
If the beard was deliberate, then he deliberately led Gu Nuoxi to him because my name was very similar to his fiancΓ©e, so why did he do it.
Five years as a journalist made me realize that the relationship between him and Gu Nuoxi is not so simple, and it is likely that it is related to his fiancΓ©e......
After Gu Nuoxi chuckled, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the bearded man, "That's okay, you're thinking about it." β
The bearded man smiled and didn't say anything, but then I heard a voice coming from the door, and when I turned my head, it was the man named Ah Yang who came in, followed by a man in a chef's uniform pushing a dining cart.
The man is very tall, with three-dimensional and deep facial features, and brown eyes, which should be mixed-race.
Ah Yang didn't go forward after coming in, but stood at the door, and the man came over pushing the food cart.
The man's smiling expression was slightly flustered when he saw the beard, and after a pause of two seconds, he exhaled softly, "Oh my God, your beard is finally willing to shave!" β
"......" I suddenly realized that the bearded man was not blowing when he said that he had grown his beard for almost six years.
The bearded man smiled and raised his hand, touched his chin lightly, and said nothing, and the man pushed the food cart to stop behind us, only then did he realize that I existed, and his eyes fell on me.
"Who is this?"
"My girlfriend, Jia Yuan."
The man looked at me with exaggerated eyes, his mouth slightly opened into an O-shape, and after a pause for two seconds, his mouth cracked and he smiled, and stretched out his hand to me, "Hello, Dean. Bradbury. β
I hurriedly stood up and stretched out my hand, "Hello, Xu Jiayuan." β
He took my hand, raised his other hand and hugged me, "Nice to meet you." β
The enthusiasm came a little unexpectedly, and I stiffened my body and tried to squeeze out a smile, "It's nice to meet you, too." β
Fortunately, before I finished speaking, he let go of me, and then squinted at me with a smile and said, "Can I call you Jiayuan?" β
"Absolutely."
"Arwen is willing to shave his beard, it must be because of you."
"......" I don't know how to say it in an instant.
If you say yes, it seems a little too narcissistic, if you say no...... That's against my heart, it's supposed to be for my sister!
Before I could figure out what to do, Gu Nuoxi's faint voice sounded, "Dean." β
Gu Nuoxi's voice was faint, and he could even hear a hint of displeasure, but Dean didn't seem to feel it, looked at Gu Nuoxi with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the dining hood on the dining car, and suddenly he turned to look at me again and said, "Jiayuan, do you like French food?" β
Suddenly asked, I was stunned for a moment before I smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Huh...... I don't know too much. β
He smiled and placed a disk on the table, "You must try this dish." β
As soon as I saw it, it was foie gras, and the bearded man smiled, "This red wine foie gras is obviously what Sister Gu likes." β
Dean laughed instantly, and then looked at Gu Nuoxi, the tenderness in his eyes was straightforward, and he didn't shy away from it, and I immediately understood something.
After that, Dean dined with us, and he was the same bearded man told me before, Gu Nuoxi's classmate, the owner of this French restaurant.
Compared with Gu Nuoxi's indifference, Dean can be said to be very enthusiastic, asking how the bearded man is doing, and how he knows me.
The bearded man is not shy about it, he is straight to speak, Dean smiled, "It's really yours, hide so far, and you can meet a beautiful and temperamental woman like Jiayuan." β
I didn't really listen to Dean's compliment, after all, we sat on a real temperament beauty, but when I was complimented, I still smiled politely at him, and then lowered my eyes and pretended to be a little embarrassed.
As for the beard, he looked at me with a smile, "No way, women are good and natural." β
"......" is still born, this person is simply too stinky and shameless.
I was speechless, but Dean laughed, and then looked at Gu Nuoxi, "Arwen is still so humorous. β
Gu Nuoxi, who was lowering his head and scooping a spoonful of creamy mushroom soup, raised his eyes to look at Dean, pulled his lower lip in response, and then lowered his head and brought the spoon close to his lips.
Dean seemed to have been accustomed to her cold attitude, and the smile on the corner of his lips looked at the bearded man without a hint of interference, "By the way, Arwen, I heard Nuo Xi say that your contract with the former Tang is about to expire." β
The bearded man nodded lightly in response, "yes." β
"Are you planning to renew?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." The beard is still the answer.
"Didn't think about it?"
"Hmm."
"You don't want to go back to the woods, do you?"
"Heh......" the bearded man chuckled, resting his fork on his plate, then looked up at Dean and said, "To be honest, I really can't bear to be there." β
I glanced sideways slightly, peeked at Gu Nuoxi with the rest of my vision, and saw Gu Nuoxi's hand holding the fork pause.
"It's been years." Dean smiled slightly, "I know you have your own ideas, but I still hope to come back, after all, ......"
When he said this, he chuckled, "By the way, isn't that sentence called years not forgiving?" β
"What do you want to say?" The bearded man asked with a smile.
"I just want to express that you should take advantage of the fact that you are young now, and you still have the opportunity to experience the world more, you have to really like it there, think it's good, and when you are older, you can also settle down."
The bearded man smiled, wiped his lower lip with a napkin, picked up the red wine, and lightly held it to Dean, "I didn't expect you to think so far." β
Dean also picked up, "It's all learned." β
"......" hiss...... These people really talk ......
After this pause, Gu Nuoxi almost didn't speak, and I was called by Dean, and when the bearded man called me, I answered succinctly, keeping a low profile.
The main reason is that Gu Nuoxi's aura is too strong even if he doesn't speak, and I have a feeling of being suppressed, and this feeling has become a kind of constraint, making me want to be surrounded by something when I speak and act.
I was relieved when I finished the meal, thinking that I should be able to leave, but I didn't think that Dean would call someone to clean up and say, let's wait a minute, he will prepare dessert for us, and it will be fine in a moment.
The corners of my mouth almost twitched before I could hold back, and I quickly lowered my head slightly, and kicked my beard lightly under the dining table to imply that his sister couldn't sit still.
But this time, instead of eating at Uncle Li's house before, he nodded his head to Dean and said, "You must try the crΓ¨me brΓ»lΓ©e made by Dean." β
...... "I'll taste your sister!"
I was angry in my heart, but I also knew in my heart that Gu Nuoxi was not Uncle Li, and the bearded man should also be measured, knowing that it was not suitable to leave now.
After Dean left, the bearded man looked at Gu Nuoxi, who had been silent and neutral, "You don't mind smoking a cigarette, right?" β
Gu Nuoxi looked at him sideways, "Mind." β
"Huh." The bearded man smiled, but still took out his cigarette, and then cleaned up the table and prepared to push the dining cart away, and the waiter said, "Please help me get an ashtray." β
The waiter turned to him and smiled, "Okay, please wait. β
Gu Nuoxi didn't show displeasure, but my sister wasn't happy! The sense of oppression here is so heavy, my sister has long wanted to light a cigarette to relieve pressure, but I haven't been able to light it, he actually lit it!
And just now he asked Gu Nuoxi before he was about to smoke, it was not difficult to hear that Gu Nuoxi didn't like people to smoke, at least in front of her, in other words, that sentence was simply to say to me, I smoked first, you can bear with it......
I was already very suffocated in my heart, and I didn't think that after lighting the cigarette, she still looked in my direction and spit out the smoke as if nothing happened, "What time is it?" β
"......," I clenched my fingertips slightly, and as I raised my hand to look at my watch, I kicked his shin again, "It's two o'clock." β
As I spoke, I raised my head and saw Gu Nuoxi's eyebrows frowning slightly, and then the bearded man turned his head to look at Gu Nuoxi and asked, "Is there anything wrong in the afternoon?" β
"There's a meeting at half-past three."
The corners of the bearded lips raised slightly, "Is there a meeting on how to deal with Chen Xin and me?" β
"What you're asking is what I'm going to do, right?" Gu Nuoxi's voice was faint.
I really admire this woman a little, she always sees through the beard's routine at a glance, in other words, when the bearded butt is pouted, she knows what he wants to do.
